Chapter 706: Flowing Fire July
After more than a year of polishing and meticulous production by countless staff, the second part of "Kung Fu Panda" was finally released in July, and it met with the audience who cared about it through the form of global simultaneous release.
Through the first movie, many audiences around the world are already very familiar with this series of movies, and they are even more fond of the animated characters such as Panda Po and Tiger Master in it.
At the previous Oscars, "Kung Fu Panda" did not win the award for Best Foreign Language Film, but it still received very high praise.
Many commentators believe that if "Kung Fu Panda" is a movie produced in the United States, it will definitely win several awards, but in the final analysis, it is still a loss for foreign language films.
But this is enough to show the progress of Chinese films and the excellence of this animated film.
So after the release time of the second part was announced, it caused a warm response and was highly anticipated.
The Hantang Film and Television Distribution Company also went all out, relying on the reputation of Tonghua Group and the high popularity of the first film, and won the treatment of global simultaneous release, which is also the first Chinese film to be released simultaneously worldwide.
Unconsciously, Tonghua anime has once again made history.
On the first weekend of the summer vacation, the second world premiere of "Kung Fu Panda".
In China, in the United States, in France, in England······
Countless audiences walked into the cinema for the first time, and once again met the honest and cute, humorous and humorous panda Po who was full of a sense of justice, followed it on adventures, grew up together, and witnessed its joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Po, the panda who finally became the "Dragon Hero", can be said to have lived the life of his dreams, and he and his master and the five heroes of the world - tiger, crane, praying mantis, snake and monkey - protect the peaceful life in the valley.
However, the good times did not last long, and Ah Bao faced a new and even more terrifying challenge, a great villain, the peacock Shen Wangye, possessed a secret and powerful weapon, and he tried in vain to destroy Kung Fu and conquer China!
Po and the Five Heroes of the World are once again challenged to defeat the ferocious White Peacock, while also taking seriously the repressed memories of his childhood and uncovering the mystery of his own origins, which ultimately leads to victory by unleashing the power in his body.
Compared with the first part, the story structure of the second part is grander and the content is more exciting.
At the same time, the film has made a good balance between the two elements of action and comedy, and in addition to the breath-taking plot, there are many imaginative and interesting farces in it, making the whole movie feel exciting, exciting, humorous, enjoyable and moving.
In addition to the plot, many classic scenes of China appear in the movie, such as Kyoto, Jinxi, Shaolin Temple, Sichuan and Shu······
When Po jumped in the buildings full of Chinese characteristics and ran on the streets full of New Year's atmosphere, the Chinese culture was also accepted by many audiences.
Lin Qirong and Tongtong attended the premiere held at the Tonghua Cinema in the Animation and Game Industrial Park together, enjoying the wonderful movie content together, and their ears were filled with the laughter of Tongtong and other audiences, and their hearts were full of satisfaction.
Compared with the movie in the previous life, this "Kung Fu Panda" has more Chinese characteristics, and its bones are full of the flavor of China, rather than wearing the skin of China like in the previous life, but it is a Hollywood assembly line work.
The premiere that night was very successful, not only in China, but also in the United States, France, England and other places, with a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth.
The Kung Fu Panda whirlwind is blowing again, and this time it blows more violently and more widely than the last time.
Throughout July, fans all over the world were captivated by Po, a simple, cute panda with a sense of justice, and became the coolest animated hero in the world.
The film also grossed a lot of money, and as of now, it has swept more than $3 billion around the world, shocking many people.
"My good man, is it so profitable to make movies now?" Qiao Feng shouted at Lin Qirong's house, "Now I can't even raise my head in front of Fangfang." ”
Not to mention Xiao Yunfang's usual salary, the bonus of this movie alone is incredible, even if Qiao Feng's "Extreme Challenge" has become a popular variety show and a cash cow, it is still not enough to watch in front of the box office of more than 20 billion.
"Accept it. Lin Qirong patted him on the shoulder, "Your family is estimated to be talking louder in the future." ”
Qiao Feng gritted his teeth, "Are you forcing me to take over as soon as possible, Longhai Group is now transforming quite smoothly, putting more emphasis on the cultural industry, if I take over, I will develop more in the film industry, and you will take me to make money when the time comes." ”
"It's up to you to decide your own thing. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "But Fangfang is about to give birth now, you have to watch it, don't talk about any career, a man who can't take care of his wife and children is not qualified to say this." ”
"I know. Qiao Feng said with a serious expression, "Anyway, I am only responsible for the filming of "Extreme Challenge" now, and other programs are responsible for other people in the company, this season has been filmed, and I have time to accompany her."
In fact, my parents are more nervous than us, Fangfang can't stay at home, and she has to hold video conferences every day to arrange work. ”
"The mood of the mother is very important, you should be a little tired. Lin Qirong shook his head helplessly, "I'll talk to her about paying attention to rest when I go back." ”
"Okay. ”
Compared with Qiao Feng, other film companies are more excited, the success of "Kung Fu Panda 2" has made them see a bright money scene, even if Tonghua Animation has invested a lot in this movie, but in the end, I don't know how many times the profit has increased.
This made them realize that as long as the movie is good enough and good enough, making money is actually very simple.
Many film companies have begun to invest heavily, ready to learn from Tonghua Group, and shoot popular movies, with a bumper harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.
Dragon Fly Animation and Fengteng Animation are the most affected, and they have accelerated their pace to invest in the field of animated films, and I believe that they will soon launch their own animated films.
Because of the stimulation of "Kung Fu Panda 2", the Chinese film industry seems to have become lively all of a sudden, and people's expectations for the film market have suddenly increased a lot, because the Huaxia film market, which has been hit hard by the Shengshi Entertainment incident, is once again showing a prosperous scene.
"In fact, we earn much more than just that. Hu Mei said to everyone at the meeting.
"The first and second installments were an unprecedented success and allowed us to successfully build this Kung Fu Panda brand, and the image of Po Panda and other characters is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is an intangible asset that can always provide us with output.
This is something that the toy company should fully understand, right?"
Li Gaojie nodded approvingly, "Yes, because of the popularity of the second movie, the value of our cartoon characters has increased significantly, and while the sales of our products have increased significantly, animation manufacturers around the world are also more willing to talk to us about image licensing, so we can collect a lot of copyright fees every year." ”
Lin Qirong said with a smile, "This is the value of this movie, the box office is only a surface data, and the more profound impact is yet to come."
Tonghua Animation is going to start the preparation and production of the third work, and I believe that with the success of the first two works, you know what to do. ”
Liu Xueying, who temporarily performed her duties because of Xiao Yunfang's fetus, nodded seriously.
This is a girl who acts more than she talks, and Lin Qirong will not be uneasy.
······
The whole month of July belongs to Panda Po, because it is in the summer file, taking the child to watch a "Kung Fu Panda 2" has become the best choice for many families.
Other films that choose to be released in the summer can only reluctantly accept the fact that they are completely overshadowed by the light of this animated film, and look forward to a better situation after its release.
But soon their wishes were frustrated.
In mid-July, another film produced by Tonghua Group was announced to be finalized, and the time was August 1.
"Operation Red Sea", a war blockbuster directed by Lin Qirong himself, chose to be released on this sensitive day, and the meaning is self-evident.
As can be seen from the trailer released, this is a real war blockbuster, and it is a modern military war blockbuster, describing the story of the navy, which alone is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Who is Lin Qirong? That is the most famous world-class superstar in China today, the most prestigious existence in China, and his works have never disappointed, and every one of them can be loved by everyone.
I believe that this movie is no different.
The two movies one after the other, covering the entire summer file, other movies can only reluctantly accept this somewhat sad fact.
"In the future, will the entire film market be shrouded in the shadow of Lin Qirong and Tonghua Group?"
A media said, "It doesn't seem to be a realistic thing to expect Lin Qirong to play abnormally, so when will someone in Huaxia be able to stand up and compete with Lin Qirong and shoot a movie that is more exciting than Lin Qirong's works?"
This question is a bit frustrating.
This summer, Lin Qirong used an animated movie and a war blockbuster (even if it hasn't been released yet), which already makes people feel hopeless.
Of course, this is what the media reporter said, and fans are happy, because Lin Qirong represents a high-quality product, and they wish that Lin Qirong would often publish works, so that they can often see excellent movies.
However, among the many praises, there is no shortage of doubts.
"The first film directed by Lam Kai Wing was a comedy, which can be said to be a very cautious and sensible approach, and in fact he was also successful.
But the second movie is challenging war blockbusters, isn't it a little anxious? After all, war blockbusters and comedies are completely two fields, can Lin Qirong control them?
Was the success of the first movie that made Lin Qirong float?
There is another problem, that is, war blockbusters are not so easy to shoot, with Hollywood's Zhuyu in front, it is very difficult for Lin Qirong to shoot a war blockbuster that satisfies everyone.
The most important thing is that the Chinese army rarely has military operations, so it lacks enough themes, unlike the Mi army, which has various actions every day and has rich themes.
Lin Qirong is very restricted, and I am not optimistic about his film.
Maybe the final box office was propped up in a form that everyone knows. ”
Such a question has been recognized by many audiences, but out of trust in Lin Qirong, they believe that Lin Qirong will not disappoint them.
What the specific result will be, we will have to wait for the release of the movie to know.
