What kind of stupidity would invite a group of professionals to the premiere of an animated film?

A lot of people are very puzzled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If I fall asleep later, please don't wake me up,"

Film critic Cui Cheng said with a smile to his partner next to him.

"You know, I've been so busy with my daughter's affair for the past two days that I haven't even had time to sleep, and now is a great opportunity. ”

Mr. Sun, who sat next to him, was a film critic like him, and the two met at a premiere and became very good friends afterwards. After hearing his good friend say this, Mr. Sun also smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't, maybe I slept earlier than you." ”

Apparently neither of them had much interest in the film.

Also, both of them are already people with children, how can they still be interested in this kind of animated film?

Cui Cheng hasn't seen this kind of thing seriously for more than ten years, only occasionally when he was with his daughter, and the more impressive thing is the blue cat and the pleasant goat, for an adult like him, they are things that can't stand it after two glances. Of course, that's TV anime, but is there a difference between an animated movie and a TV anime?

At least in Cui Cheng's opinion, there is no, animated films have always been a weakness of the Chinese film industry, and they are not as strong as the small country next door.

And Mr. Sun and Cui Chengye had similar ideas, so when the "Lion King" movie began, the music came with a majestic momentum, and both of them were stunned.

“#@……%#&@”

The lyrics are not in Chinese, nor in popular English, but a strange prophecy they have not heard, like a shout, like a call.

Music has no borders, but this is full of wild shouts, which suddenly reminds people of such a thing as primitive tribes, and the pictures on the screen are constantly montage, scene after scene one after another, rhinoceros, zebras, leopards and other animals continue to appear, giving close-ups, different scenes and different species have the same action, all looking in the same direction.

That's not all, with the song full of primitive wildness, the camera follows a flock of geese, a long view in the front of the waterfall, a distant view of the elephant herd, a long depth of field overlooking the sky, and a close-up view of the antelope herd galloping past......

Where's this still a cartoon? It's a movie at all!

And once you start, you can't stop.

They watched the newborn lion cub being lifted high, watched him mischievous as a child, watched how his uncle designed to kill his king's father, watched how he escaped his inner turmoil away from his homeland, and watched how he grew up to become a truly strong man, the king of the forest......

As an animated film, "The Lion King" obviously can't be as complex as "One Flew Over the Asylum." Its whole story line is unusually simple, almost a straight line, without twists and turns, but it makes adults not get bored - Cui Chengwei only realized that he had finished watching the movie when he saw that the end credits had appeared.

He actually watched an animated movie? Not to mention that he fell asleep in the middle, and he didn't even want to go to the toilet?

If it's an ordinary audience, the first reaction is probably "this cartoon is good, I like to watch it" or something like that, such as some viewers sitting in the back.

In addition to media people, the crew also specially sold some tickets to the audience, the specific requirements are that there are people with children, parents can bring their children to watch the movie together, and this ticket is naturally sold out, these audiences are now sitting on the scene, watching the movie in its entirety.

The children's reactions were very simple, very direct, they would not hide it, if you could hear them if you got closer, "Daddy, I want to be the lion king!" "I want to be the king!" "Mom and Dad, let's watch it again." "Mom, buy me a lion." "I don't want Pleasant Goat for my birthday present this year, I want Simba!" "Mom, we don't want to eat pork today." ”…… Adults are also talking, "This cartoon seems to be pretty good." "I don't know if your son understands. "He certainly can't read it, but if you look at his excited look, he must like it, just like it." "It's not easy to get him to sit quietly for more than an hour. "Your daughter still wants to watch it, do you still want to watch it? I'm afraid it's too late to go back." "I can only go somewhere else, there is only one show here, and there is nowhere to buy a ticket." ”……

These are the reactions of ordinary audiences, and as film critics and senior professionals, there will naturally be a difference.

Cui Cheng was surprised that he didn't fall asleep at first, and then he combed through the memories of the movie just now, and then gradually came back to his senses.

It's a cartoon like no other.

"Did you notice? ”

Mr. Sun said this to Cui Cheng, turned his head to look, and saw that Mr. Sun was looking at him, his eyes were bright, "Close-up, long shot, close shot, long shot, pushing, pulling, turning, moving, montage sequence of shots...... And so on and so forth, that's exactly what I told you about my idea, and now there are really people who make animated films in this way, and the technique is so skillful and smooth, it's a real movie!"

Cui Cheng nodded, "That's right......"

For ordinary audiences, watching this kind of animated movie focuses on the story, picture, and character image, but for professionals like them, the focus is different, and there are many more aspects, such as the use of lenses.

In the vast majority of cartoons, the producers only make stories and pictures, and never care about the camera, if you take the movie as an analogy, that is, the vast majority of cartoons now have only one kind of shot - front and back. This is the most basic and the most rigid and boring lens language, it can be said that cartoons are insulated from the "lens", cartoons don't seem to have this concept, even animated movies are the same.

Let's take the Pleasant Goat movie released at the beginning of this year as an example, in addition to the story being pitifully retarded, the camera is also pitifully mentally retarded in Cui Cheng's opinion, and he is infinitely fighting in front and back, so that he can't see the difference between this so-called "big movie" and the family animation version at all.

This kind of thing is named "movie", which simply makes him feel that he is insulting the word movie, which is one of the reasons why he was not optimistic about "The Lion King" at the beginning, because it had been bombed hard at the beginning of the year.

But "The Lion King" gave him a completely different feeling.

He had just forgotten that he was watching an animated movie...... Yes, animated films, after watching this movie, he finally admitted the meaning of the existence of this term.

Not to mention the seemingly simple but rich in meaning, the story that people of different ages seem to have different understandings, sometimes majestic and sometimes delicate and moving music, real and plump scenes, vivid and likable character shapes, interspersed from beginning to end at all stages of the story, and some of them make him laugh when he looks at it as a mature adult......

Oh my God, when he recalled it carefully, he realized that this movie has so many advantages, and all of them are organically blended together, forming the simple and smooth story just now, which is not bloated or difficult to understand at all, and truly serves the story, adds color to the story without dominating the story, which is the most commendable.

So Cui Cheng couldn't help but stand up and applaud vigorously when he saw the main creative team on stage again.

Compared with many domestic teams who are in a hurry to make a work and just want to shock the world, perhaps only this kind of team that has worked silently for 90 minutes for three years can make this kind of animated film, and they deserve such applause.

There were many people who liked the movie, and Duane only heard the thunderous applause below, which lasted for a long time, as well as the unbridled cheers and noises of the children, and the almost inaudible whimpering of some people around him on stage.

He glanced at it quietly, and saw that the eyes of several people, including Shen Leping, were red, and some people bit their lower lip hard, and their chests rose and fell violently.
