156 Continuing the Legend

The literal translation of "despicableme" in Chinese is "Despicable Me", and some media have translated it as "Despicable Me"

When the movie started, Scarlett, who was sitting next to Chen Xueqian and had been looking at him, shifted her attention to this movie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the beginning of the movie, in front of the co-released Pinnacle Entertainment promotional logo, a cute Minion came out to sell cuteness. The female audience, who is powerless to resist this cute thing, is shocked in their hearts at this time.

Then the movie officially began, and the beginning of the movie was a group traveling in Egypt, and then they accidentally discovered that Egypt's most magnificent pyramid of Giza had been stolen. For a time, the whole world was in turmoil.

Can the pyramids be stolen? This highly imaginative idea suddenly made the audience below stunned!

As this opening episode passes, the protagonist of the movie officially appears.

When this guy who has no sympathy for children, is selfish, arrogant, and even threatens his neighbors appears in front of all the audience, everyone can't help but be stupid.

You're really not kidding me? This kind of bastard can also be the protagonist?

Almost all film critics are thinking about the question, if their children watch this movie, will they be taught badly?

But thinking about the title of the movie "Despicable Me", everyone was suddenly a little relieved. But I still can't let my children go to the cinema to watch it! This idea is shared by almost all film critics who have children at home.

Immediately, the big selling point of this movie, the Minions appeared, and almost instantly, everyone could hear the voices of female audiences. These little ones are too stupid and cute.

Well, except for a bit of a pit master!

Almost every scene with Minions can make the scene burst into laughter.

And when the main character, Gru, announces that he is about to carry out a big plan to steal the moon in the sky, almost everyone feels that the world is too crazy.

Immediately, Chen Xueqian creatively created an evil bank, a bank that specializes in lending money to criminals.

Everything seems so novel and imaginative.

Soon, Gru began to battle his wits with a rising star in order to be able to steal the Shrink Ray.

After a series of frustrations, he suddenly found that the three little girls who came to sell cookies easily entered the castle that he had failed to enter by all means.

Immediately he had a plan, and then he came to the girls' home where the three girls were adopted.

A big bad guy took in three cute little girls, and countless jokes happened for a while, and the audience in the movie theater couldn't help but laugh out loud again and again along with the movie.

Eventually, his partner, Dr. Doctor, decided that the three little girls were getting in the way of their plans and sent them away.

In order to steal the moon, Gru eventually separated from the three girls.

Having succeeded in stealing the moon, Gru finds himself in time for the dance of the three little girls, so he desperately rushes back.

However, when he arrives, the three girls are captured by the villain.

After a battle of wits and courage, Gru successfully rescued three girls, and a big bad guy has since reformed himself?

Everyone is looking forward to it and believing that they will be happy.

The movie is full of jokes from beginning to end, and Gru goes from being a selfish big bad guy to being transformed by three little girls. It can be seen that he is not bad in his heart.

This also reassures parents.

The story is not complicated, and yes, you can't look at a child-oriented movie with an adult eye.

But this story will not make adults feel dull when they look at it, and it is full of jokes. In terms of feelings, it is not too sensational, and Gru's previous bad but kind image is even more popular.

However, I have to say that the most brilliant thing in the whole movie is the Minions as supporting roles, these little ones use their cute images and stupid and cute performances to perfectly cute the hearts of all audiences.

Even the iron-clad tough guys can't help but be melted by this movie.

Scarlett, who was sitting next to Chen Xueqian, found that she had watched this movie unknowingly, and she didn't even bother to communicate with Chen Xueqian.

When the movie ended, as a film critic, I fully showed my quality and carefully read the final acknowledgement list.

Among them, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Chen Xueqian not only served as the screenwriter of the film, but also the art director and music co-director, and his name appeared in almost every list.

Everyone once again saw Chen Xueqian's all-round and extraordinary talent.

For such praise, Chen Xueqian refused, after all, in fact, all this was copied by him, so he was not made up by the praise of the outside world at all.

However, he still couldn't avoid the vulgarity in the second premiere, and Tianjin watched the film review magazine bought by his subordinates with relish.

"With this latest animated film from Universal, I felt a lovely power in it. It's a new look success, and I dare to predict that the image in this film will be a big hit. - Los Angeles Film Review.

And the Globe and Mail is even more direct: "This cartoon has almost reached a level that surpasses Pixar's work." ā€

Time magazine called the film "a delicious compote with a little sentimentality." ā€

The unexpected surprise of "Despicable Me" is that it is more than just a passionate children's film. In the "New York Daily News" on the same day, this is how the new film was evaluated.

The Washington Post – brings incredible warmth, not to mention visual pleasure.

Of course, it was not entirely applauded, and the New York Times commented: There is nothing to be taken lightly, but there is also not much to remember.

For this, Chen Xueqian smiled indifferently, isn't there much memorable? The character of the villain, the cute three daughters. Countless strange weapons, whimsical stealing of the moon. And the Minions, one of the cutest supporting characters of all time.

Which of these does not impress the audience, in fact, for this movie, Chen Xueqian values most not the box office at all, but the almost countless peripheral developments.

You must know that Disney, Barbie Princess, and other animation companies all rely on the surrounding to make a lot of money. As for the box office, Chen Xueqian can only get 10% of the box office, which doesn't mean much to him at all?

Of course, in addition to the harvest of the movie, Chen Xueqian also received a personal call from Scarlett and had an invitation to dinner. It's a pity that Chen Xueqian's crew is too rushed, and he can only live up to the kindness of this well-known Hollywood beauty.

With the unanimous praise of major film critics for this movie, countless fans are looking forward to this upcoming movie. And a lot of media are looking forward to how much the film will reach at the box office, after all, Hollywood animated films are almost monopolized by DreamWorks and Disney.

Just in the first half of this year, DreamWorks just launched an animated blockbuster "Shrek 2", and this animated movie, which cost 150 million to produce, won 450 million at the box office.

This achievement is like a magic spell that is firmly imprisoned on the heads of all the films this year.

However, the production cost of "Despicable Me" is much lower, and the production cost of just $60 million is less than half of that of "Shrek".

In the midst of this great anticipation, "Despicable Me" was officially released in the summer of the United States.

For this film, the outside media is generally optimistic, but everyone wants to know more about whether Universal can break the monopoly trend of DreamWorks and Disney animated films with this film.

And this question was quickly answered, and "Despicable Me" earned $60 million at the box office on the first day, and it almost took only one day to recoup the cost.

After a frenzied first day, the animated film continued to make a staggering $150 million at the box office in a week.

Chen Xueqian once again showed people his box office appeal.

Although with this achievement, it is impossible for this movie to hit the record of "Shrek 2", but you must know that "Shrek" is the second part of the series, with the bonus points of the first part, and it is not surprising to defeat the new "Despicable Me".

However, a number of movies released at about the same time as this movie have collapsed and sunk into the sand, and they were killed by this animated film, and the tragic situation made the industry speechless for a while.

And when Scarlett saw this news, she couldn't believe it for a while. Such a movie that created a box office miracle again was actually made by the boy who was sitting next to him that day.

The American media can't wait to calculate the income of this film for Chen Xueqian.

In 2004, in the first half of the year, Chen Xueqian earned 30 million US dollars with a Korean movie, and less than a month later, he was about to earn tens of millions of US dollars with another movie, and according to the news received by the reporter from Universal, Chen Xueqian also has the surrounding portrait rights of this movie. 40% of the merchandise sold by Universal will be given to this teenager. This teenager really deserves the title of the most profitable person of this century. (To be continued.) )
