Chapter 983: Meeting on a Narrow Road
Seeing that Lin Youlun stared at the release date of "The Lion King" and did not speak, Lin Zhiling explained on the side: "I found this poster in the morning, and the purpose of leaving it for you to show you is actually to tell you that the release schedules of "The Lion King" and "Toy Story" collided together. ”
The release date of "Toy Story" has been determined a long time ago, but the release schedule of "The Lion King" was suddenly announced not long ago, and Disney's purpose in doing this is obviously to fight a box office sniper war with "Toy Story".
Lin Youlun handed the poster back to Lin Zhiling, and said expressionlessly: "So you still think I should take my daughter to watch "The Lion King"? ”
Lin Zhiling looked at Lin Youlun and replied, "Know yourself and know your opponent...... Unless you've already seen the movie through other channels. ”
Lin Youlun has indeed "watched" "The Lion King" a long time ago, and he has a very clear impression in his mind.
Putting aside the hostile stance with Disney, Lin Youlun must admit that "The Lion King" is a very good cartoon, from the music to the plot can be called a classic, "Toy Story" encounters such an opponent, it is indeed a bit of a headache.
"Alright, buy me three adult tickets and one child ticket!"
Lin Zhiling was a little puzzled by Lin Youlun's decision, "What are the three adult tickets, in addition to Honggu, are you going to take others with you?" ”
"The last one is for you."
Lin Youlun's answer surprised Lin Zhiling very much.
"Isn't that good?" Lin Zhiling's expression was slightly tangled: "I mean you and Honggu take the child to the movies, so I don't have to go with me, right?" ”
"As you said earlier, the purpose of this movie viewing is not just my personal matter. It is also for the sake of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. So of course you have to go along...... Of course, you don't have to worry about disturbing me and Honggu. Because when the time comes, I have a more important task for you, and that is to help me take care of Honghong. ”
Lin Zhiling looked at Lin Youlun speechlessly, "So your real purpose is for me to be a nanny for Honghong?" ”
Lin Youlun nodded proudly: "I'm glad you think so, it shows that you are very close to a competent assistant!" ”
——
According to Lin Youlun's original plan, he was going to let Lin Zhiling take care of his daughter, and then he accompanied Zhong Chuhong, but the actual situation was a little different from what he expected.
Knowing that she was going to the movies, Honghong seemed very excited. Sitting in the movie Yuandu is still sticking to Lin Youlun, so the relationship between the last four people is completely reversed, Lin Youlun takes the child, and Lin Zhiling accompanies Zhong Chuhong to watch the movie.
As Disney's 32nd classic animated feature film, "The Lion King" tells the story of an animal version of "Hamlet", the little Lion King Simba, accompanied by many passionate and loyal friends, not only experienced the most glorious moments in his life, but also encountered the most difficult challenges, went through life, death, love, responsibility and other tests in life, and finally finally ascended to the throne of the king of beasts. And experience the true meaning of life in the endless cycle of nature.
Excellent plot with a magnificent symphony. and blends local African classical music, so that the overall quality of the film keeps up with a level, and Honghong is too young to understand many places, but this age is the time when curiosity is the heaviest, and this makes Lin Youlun suffer, and during the whole movie screening, he basically kept answering Honghong's questions.
Because Lin Youlun had "watched" this movie before, his answer to his daughter always had a strong pre-insight, and Honghong didn't feel strange when she heard it, but Lin Zhiling on the side couldn't help but wonder when she heard this.
Guessing the plot once or twice can be said to be accidental, like Lin Youlun, who can guess the plot every time, which makes people a little suspicious.
Could it be that Lin Youlun has seen this movie before?
Lin Zhiling wanted to ask this question several times, but she never found the right opportunity.
Towards the end of the film, a bodyguard came over and whispered a few words to Lin Zhiling, and then Lin Zhiling's brows frowned slightly.
Lin Youlun was explaining the content of the movie to her daughter, and stopped when she saw Lin Zhiling's expression.
"What, what's wrong?"
Lin Zhiling glanced at Zhong Chuhong's mother and daughter worriedly, "I don't know what the reason is, a group of reporters came to the movie theater, and there may be some trouble when we go out later." ”
Lin Youlun also frowned after hearing this, then turned his head and talked to Zhong Chuhong in a low voice, and when it was over, Lin Youlun picked up his daughter from the seat and handed her into Zhong Chuhong's arms, and then instructed Lin Zhiling to say: "You leave through the back door first, the movie is not over yet, the reporters outside will not be very close, and their target should be aimed at me, as long as I don't show up, they will not act rashly." ”
Lin Zhiling hesitated for a moment, then clicked, picked up her bag and left the theater with Zhong Chuhong's mother and daughter.
Lin Youlun sat alone in the movie theater, but he was thinking about how to deal with the group of reporters later.
Lin Youlun's whereabouts in the United States this time should be said to be very low-key, and it stands to reason that it will not attract the attention of the American media, and this group of reporters will not appear sooner or later, but they came out when Lin Youlun took his daughter to watch "The Lion King", which is obviously ill-intentioned.
Just imagine, "Toy Story" and "The Lion King" were released at the same time, but Lin Youlun ran to watch the competing "The Lion King" on the premiere day.
To be able to seize such an opportunity, Disney's media and public relations department should have spent a lot of effort.
After the film ended, Lin Youlun deliberately waited until the audience in the screening hall was almost gone, and then got up and walked out.
Almost all the reporters waiting outside the cinema thought that Lin Youlun had left the cinema in advance, and as soon as they saw him coming out of the standpoint passage, they immediately held their cameras and surrounded him.
The four bodyguards dutifully blocked Lin Youlun's side and didn't let those reporters get closer, but many of these things such as recorders and microphones still stretched out directly in front of Lin Youlun.
"Mr. Lin, this theater doesn't show "Toy Story", so you just watched the movie "The Lion King"?"
The reporter who took the lead in asking the question was obviously prepared, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he blocked Lin Youlun's denied answer.
"I said I was watching other movies, and you definitely didn't believe me, so do I need to explain anything more?"
Lin Youlun's answer was tantamount to acquiescence, but his attitude was not very friendly.
Of course, these reporters will not stop there, and then someone immediately asked Lin Youlun what he thinks of the movie "The Lion King".
They had already calculated that if Lin Youlun picked on this film, they could use the box office of the film and other people's evaluations of the movie to slap Lin Youlun in the face; Of course, if Lin Youlun gives this movie a good review, they can take the opportunity to elevate "The Lion King" and belittle "Toy Story".
"It can be seen that Disney has high expectations for this classic cartoon, both the plot and the background music of the film are impeccable, so if I were to rate this movie, I would give 85 points for the plot and 90 points for the music...... Well, I won't comment on this question. ”
Lin Youlun's answer did hit the hearts of the reporters at the beginning, but he deliberately left such a sentence later, but it successfully aroused the interest of the reporters.
A reporter who reacted quickly asked first: "Does Mr. Lin think that the animation skills of "The Lion King" are not advanced enough? ”
"No, from the painting to the description and rendering of the scene, "The Lion King" can be said to have reached the level of a master, and even I think this will be Disney's best work in recent years, so in my opinion, Disney actually gave itself a problem, "The Lion King" is so good, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to surpass this movie if they make other animated movies in the future."
At first, reporters thought that Lin Youlun was praising the movie "The Lion King", but after listening to what he said later, some people felt that something was wrong, how could this be like a satire on Disney?
"Traditional animated films are a great success in the hands of Disney, which I never deny, and because of this, traditional comic book movies will also decline in the hands of Disney, because new challengers have emerged, if Disney continues to hold on to traditional animated films, then "The Lion King" will become the last footnote of Disney's brilliant animated films!"
Lin Youlun's words of praise and derogation came out, and the reporters present woke up one after another, they were actually played by Lin Youlun just now.
Although most people can still keep their sanity, some people are annoyed and angry, and directly tear their faces and ask: "Mr. Lin is too arrogant to say such things now, and although the 3D animation skills used in "Toy Story" are advanced, they may not be able to beat "The Lion King" at the box office, although the courage as a challenger is worthy of admiration, but overconfidence is a kind of arrogance!" ”
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Reporter, but you didn't really understand the meaning of what I just said, yes, "Toy Story" is not very likely to win "The Lion King" at the box office, but from the very beginning the positioning of this movie is not to defeat the opponent to reach the top, we just want to tell you through this movie that a new model of animation has been born, and 3D animation will inevitably replace traditional animated films to become the mainstream of the market in the future, "The Lion King" represents the end of the glory of traditional animated films, and "" Toy Story symbolizes the advent of the era of 3D animation, the rising sun may not be as brilliant as the sunset, but the majestic vitality it represents is unstoppable!
