Chapter 390: Opening Animation

"Shaw Brothers Films' annual sci-fi masterpiece "Interstellar Blunt Tire" collected an astonishing 1.01 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on the first day of its release on Christmas, breaking the box office record for Hong Kong films on the first day.

After the premiere, although many media and film critics were not optimistic about this sci-fi comedy produced by Shaw Brothers at a cost of 6 million Hong Kong dollars, thinking that the plot and performance of this film are useless, but real gold is not afraid of fire, and really good movies can always withstand the test of time.

Now, "Interstellar Blunt Tire", which has already set a first-day box office record, is definitely expected to break the first-week box office record set by "Best Partner".

I look forward to the surprise of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" in a week. - "Southland Movie"

"Unbelievable! The generally regarded "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has achieved a big reversal! -- Oriental Daily

"1.01 million, a new first-day box office record for the movie!" -- Sing Tao Daily

"The Shaw Brothers are reinvigorated, and the Three Kingdoms are making waves again!" -- Cheng Pao

……

Except for Shaw Brothers' own newspaper, Southland Film, which expressed a natural meaning, other newspaper media expressed great surprise.

"Interstellar Blunt Tire", which was unanimously criticized by almost all film critics, actually instigated everyone's slap, not only a box office hit, but even set a new first-day box office record, which is really unbelievable.

This result was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, except for all the film critics, I believe that Shao Daheng did not expect that "Interstellar Blunt Tire" would have such a perfect start, of course, Chen Lang did not expect this result at all.

Chen Lang clearly remembered that many novels he read in his previous life wrote that this Shaw Brothers' sci-fi comedy "Interstellar Blunt Fetus" was a huge pit, so Chen Lang had the confidence to make such a bet with Shao Tycoon, but this record-breaking first-day box office really happened, did it change history because of his own crossing?

Since receiving Wang Jing's call last night, Chen Lang has not slept well all night, and now he is also groggy.

This unexpected box office result really caught Chen Lang off guard, and if it continues like this, this bet will definitely fail, which will not only have a huge impact on Chen Lang's fledgling film company, but even Chen Lang's singing career, which is already in full swing, will be greatly impacted.

At this time, the family didn't know about Chen Lang's gambling contract, and they had already gone to work, and only Chen Lang was lying on the sofa at home and was too lazy to move.

wants to stop the box office of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", but there is no way to think about it, Chen Lang is still just a rookie in the film industry, and has no right to speak, even if he becomes a giant, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with Shao Daheng, the godfather of Xiangjiang films.

With a heart full of sorrow, Chen Lang, who was going to go to LL Film Company, was also in the mood.

Chen Lang, who was still thinking about his thoughts, soon heard the phone ringing.

"Hey, I'm Lang Lang."

"Boss, I'm Li Zhiwei, we have completed the task you assigned to us, do you want to come and take a look." Li Zhiwei's somewhat excited voice came from the phone.

"What task?" Chen Lang, who was full of worries, frowned and asked.

"It's the opening animation of our LL film company, we have made it according to your requirements, I promise that you will be absolutely satisfied, and this animation will definitely spread through the Xiangjiang with the influence of your boss, and even become popular all over Asia, so that everyone will remember this opening animation." Li Zhiwei patted his ass.

Chen Lang was stunned when he heard Li Zhiwei's sycophancy, it has always been his wish to make his movie popular in Xiangjiang, and even popular in Asia and the world, and he also knows that this road is not easy to take, but now that it is only the first movie, he is so unbearable, and even has the idea of negative retreat, so how can he become the godfather of Xiangjiang?

"Okay, you're ready, I'll be right here." Chen Lang smiled with relief.

Afterwards, Chen Lang came to the bathroom, patted his face with water, and said to himself in the mirror, who had faded and become slightly mature, "You are the one who wants to become the godfather of Xiangjiang, how can you give up so easily!" ”

Twenty minutes later, Chen Lang took a taxi to LL Film Company, and Li Zhiwei and Hideaki Anno, who had been prepared for a long time, took Chen Lang directly to the screening room.

Although the current LL Film Company is still very weak, the various departments, film equipment, screening rooms, etc. are very well prepared, after all, there is a boss who is not afraid of spending money, and the people below these things are naturally properly prepared.

Soon the three of them and the two groups of people packed the screening room, after all, this is the first cooperation between the two groups, although it is only a small opening animation, but if the first task as the boss is not completed well, it will definitely have an impact on the future of his group, after all, the small boss in front of him has invested a lot of money in the two groups.

Chen Lang asked the two groups to produce the opening animation, which is a classic idea of DreamWorks, a little boy sitting on the moon and fishing, I believe that countless fans around the world are very familiar with this opening animation.

In fact, there are multiple versions of DreamWorks' opening animation, and according to different movie content, DreamWorks has produced different openings, including the "How to Train Your Dragon" version, the "Shrek" version, the "Kung Fu Panda" version, the "Madagascar" version and the "Bee Story" version, etc., the only thing that remains unchanged is this little boy fishing.

Chen Lang also had this idea, but these versions were all related to the content, so Chen Lang asked the two groups to make a version of "Happy Ghost".

Soon the screen lit up, and what came into view was a blue sky and white clouds, white clouds floating around, in the middle of which was a crescent moon, and a little boy was leisurely fishing, when three girls and a man flew into the air under the traction of a balloon.

The three girls saw the boy fishing and tried to grab it, but the boy ignored them, and then the three little girls looked at the man who had taken off.

The man bowed slightly to the three girls and clenched his fists, then put the three girls on the clouds, and pointed at the balloon behind the three people, and the balloon automatically flew behind the little boy who was fishing, and directly took the little boy into the air.

Although the little boy was struggling, he was still carried out of the picture by the balloon, and then the three girls ran to the crescent moon and happily fished, and finally the words of LL Film Company appeared until the freeze frame ended.

It's a bit complicated to say, but it's just a dozen seconds of animation, and Chen Lang is still very satisfied with this opening animation.

The outline of the characters is very concise and bright, and the rendering of the surrounding environment is also light and concise, plus a small plot, which looks full of childlike fun, and the quality is also very high, and there will be no shoddy feeling, compared to many film companies now, the beginning is directly the logo of the film company is much more interesting.

"Yes, it looks like it's working well, I'm satisfied. It's already very good to do this for the first time, and everyone in the two groups can get an extra 500 yuan this month, I hope you can continue to work hard. Chen Lang said after reading it.

When everyone present heard Chen Lang's words, not only was their work recognized, but they also received rewards, and they all shouted happily.

"Long live the boss! Long live the boss! ”

Anno Hideaki and Li Zhiwei are also very happy, of course they are happy because they have been recognized by the boss for the first mission, after all, Chen Lang has invested a lot of money, and it will be easier to apply for funds in the future if he can get the boss's approval.

"It's great that you're satisfied, boss." Li Zhiwei said.

"It's really good, by the way, have you bought all the equipment?" Chen Lang asked.

"I've almost bought it back.,Now I'm teaching everyone to be familiar with these equipment.,After making this opening animation, it also gives everyone a chance to exercise.,But I'm afraid it won't take a short time to be fully familiar with it.,As for research, I'm afraid I'll have to recruit corresponding professionals.,After all, I'm the only one who can't take care of both sides.。 Li Weizhi said with some apprehension.

Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, it was indeed a little difficult to conduct special effects research while teaching these newly graduated college students, after all, people's energy is limited.

"Cheng Qian, you remember, and then recruit some special effects talents, as for whether to admit them in the end, it is up to Team Leader Sun to decide."

"Since you're satisfied, boss, I'll go about my work." After Li Zhiwei finished speaking, he walked to his studio, and the people from the special effects team followed back.

Hideaki Anno stepped forward and said, "President, the opening animation is finished, and our animation team has nothing to do, what should we do?" ”

Anno Hideaki actually wanted to adapt Chen Lang's "Zhu Xian" and make it into an anime, and Anno Hideaki expressed this intention long before coming to Hong Kong.

Chen Lang naturally knew Hideaki Anno's intentions, but the current animation team still made Chen Lang a little uneasy.

"Zhu Xian" is now a novel, comics, and peripherals have been developed, although the surrounding development is not smooth, but this is Chen Lang's attempt to an industrial chain, and then there will be movies, TV series, and of course, anime.

It's just that the film and television dramas made at the current level of special effects may be complained about by countless book fans and comic fans, so they can only be put on hold for the time being, and the rest is anime.

However, in order to be able to bring confidence to this industry chain, Chen Lang needs a high-quality animation, and Chen Lang is not very reassured, so he has to let the animation team produce an animation first, and then produce "Zhu Xian" after success.

"I know you want to make Zhu Xian, but before that happens, your group will have to help me make an animation." Chen Lang can't say that he is not worried about the skills of your group, so he has to beat around the bush.

"What animation?" Although Hideaki Anno is a little dissatisfied, he can at least get his team started to work if he can have a job, and he also believes that Chen Lang spent a lot of effort to form an anime team not just for fun.

Chen Lang said that this cartoon was very popular in China in the previous life, and what is even more rare is that its surrounding sales are extremely hot, and the income is better than the profit brought by the animation itself, which is also a good promotion for Chen Lang's entertainment industry chain, and it can also train the animation team, killing two birds with one stone.

"This is a series of stories based on the battle between two large groups, sheep and wolves......"
