Chapter 508: Internal Viewing (1st Subscription Request)
"Dream Travel" is the animated film story that Ye Xuan brought to this parallel world from the earth in his previous life, and Ye Xuan knows it best.
Zhou Ziwen obviously didn't know what "Dream Travel" was, but after listening to Zhang Hao, the head of DreamWorks Animation Production Company, Zhou Ziwen understood that this is an animated film that focuses on warm family feelings and memories of family affection.
Not to mention the quality of this animated film, this theme alone seems relatively old-fashioned, after all, there are many animated films that focus on warmth in the domestic animated film market in China.
"Then why is this movie called "Dream Travel"? Is there anything special?" Zhou Ziwen still looked at Ye Xuan and Zhang Hao curiously and asked.
There was a smile on the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth, but he didn't say anything.
However, Zhang Hao hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhou, our "Dream Travel" is not an ordinary family movie, and the various settings used in it, as well as the customs and customs, are very peculiar, this is a setting that chooses the Mexican Day of the Dead. ”
"Mexican Day of the Dead?" Zhou Ziwen frowned slightly, he still knew something about the Mexican Day of the Dead, it was a very interesting holiday.
In China, the Qingming Festival is equivalent to the Day of the Dead in Mexico, which is also dedicated to the dead relatives, but there is a big difference between the two.
The Qingming Festival in China is a more serious and dull festival, because the Chinese people maintain a sense of remembrance for their deceased relatives, and the Qingming Festival is very Qingming rain.
The Day of the Dead in Mexico is different, the Mexican Day of the Dead is more like a celebratory holiday, because Mexicans believe that on the day of the Day of the Dead, as long as the photos of the deceased family members are enshrined, they can return to the world from the world of the dead, which is often called the underworld in China, to reunite with the living family members.
The cultural gap between the two is indeed quite different.
What Zhou Ziwen never expected was that this animated movie "Dream Travel" actually adopted the setting of Mexico's Day of the Dead, so it must be very exciting.
"Originally, I wanted to use our country's Qingming Festival, but when I think about it, everyone is too familiar with the Qingming Festival, and the setting of the Mexican Day of the Dead is very interesting, so I chose the Mexican Day of the Dead as the background. ”
At this time, Ye Xuan finally opened his mouth and explained simply.
Zhou Ziwen also nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, I have learned some of the settings of the Day of the Dead in Mexico, which is quite interesting." ”
Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, Ye Xuan and his wife Han Yuyun took the three little guys of Sissi, Xiaoxin and Yuzu, as well as Zhou Ziwen, to the special movie screening hall of DreamWorks Animation Production.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou, we are ready, after you are seated, we can start the screening of "Dream Travel". Zhang Hao said to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan nodded.
This screening is an internal semi-finished screening, after all, "Dream Travel" has not been completely produced at all, and even the theme song has not yet been confirmed and recorded.
But even if it's a semi-finished product, you can look at the quality of the story, as long as the story quality is good, and it's paired with the perfect theme song, then it's a very good animated movie.
Zhou Ziwen came over this time to see the quality of the story, after all, this is an animated film that will be released in China in the future.
If the quality of the animated movie is very good, then maybe it will be a big hit, and when the time comes, plus I sing the theme song for this animated movie, I can help a little, and I can also get some benefits from it.
Ye Xuan and his wife Han Yuyun took their baby daughters to the most suitable place to watch movies, and then Zhou Ziwen also sat next to him.
"It's time to go. Ye Xuan nodded at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao immediately contacted the backstage staff and prepared to start showing the boss the results of their work over the past few years, which was also an opportunity to test the results of DreamWorks Animation Production during this time.
Syllable!
Inside the screening room, there was a sound, followed by the start of the operation of the holographic projection panel.
Even if it is an animated movie, it is also played with holographic projection technology, and now in China, holographic projection technology has become a popular film technology in major cinemas.
Of course, the most important thing in holographic projection technology is to take over the class of 3D special effects movies, blockbusters are generally played with holographic projection, and ordinary literary films and the like, in fact, are more suitable for using 2D large screens for playback.
Obviously, "Dream Travel" is a work that is all made with special effects film technology, and it must be played with holographic projection technology to have the best effect.
With the holographic projection panel running, the movie begins to play.
Because it's a half-finished movie in-house, there's basically no prelude to the previous production company, Hull Distribution, and it goes straight to the theme of the story.
The movie "Dream Travel" is about MiG, a 12-year-old Mexican boy from a shoemaker family, who has had a musical dream since he was a child, but music is forbidden by his family, and they think they are cursed by music.
When MiG secretly pursued his musical dream, he set foot on the land of the dead because he touched a guitar, and every year on the festival of the dead, the deceased family will return to the world to reunite with their relatives, but no one has ever been to the world of the dead, MiG was shocked by the colorful and gorgeous world of the dead, and what surprised him even more was that he reunited with his lost mother and grandparents, and the family had to find a way to send MiG back to the world.
The core of the story of this animated film is family and dreams, memories and regrets.
At any time, family affection and dreams are not opposites, regret exists in memories, don't wait until you really lose it, only to find that you have nothing to remember.
When a person leaves the world, he is not really gone, but when he is forgotten by all the people in the world, he really disappears.
Zhou Ziwen watched the movie very seriously, the setting of the Day of the Dead in Mexico, the splendor of the world of the dead, and the surging of family affection in the story, which Zhou Ziwen had never seen.
This animated movie "Dream Travel" is completely different from those family-themed animated films in China.
Zhou Ziwen was stunned.
