325 Crowds of gold

In February 2008, an animated film full of oriental ink artistic conception was published on the world's major web portals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info print media, TV have appeared corresponding promotional videos.

To everyone's surprise, the DreamWorks film was full of Chinese elements, kung fu, Chinese architecture, Chinese clothing, food, and then the 2008 Olympic Games in Yanjing, China, taking advantage of the fact that wushu became an Olympic sport for the first time. This movie seems to have taken advantage of the right time, place and people.

In contrast, the animated film Frozen, which is a Chinese film studio, does not have any Chinese elements at all, and the story is also set in a medieval castle in Europe.

So much so that when two animated films appeared at the same time, a kind of rhetoric popped up on the Chinese Internet.

"Chen Xueqian's success has nothing to do with China!"

The article is poignant, and it is pointed out with a burst of blood:

"There is not a trace of China in Chen Xueqian's films. In the past, we always said that Ang Lee's movies in recent years could not find any traces of China at all, but Ang Lee finally made a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which finally brought Chinese movies to the West. But if you go to see Chen Xueqian's films, this teenager from Chinese mainland, none of the films about China, if you tell me that these films were made by an American director, I have no doubt. Yes, none of his films, in terms of form or connotation, can find a trace of China. He was more like a banana man than those Chinese-Americans. ”

"When we look at Kung Fu Panda and Frozen, we can't help but wonder why an American director makes a film full of Chinese elements, while a Chinese director exports a completely Western-style movie. What the hell went wrong. In fact, I really want to ask, no matter how successful Chen Xueqian, a Chinese director, has any effect on the spread of Chinese culture? ”

"Wake up, foolish and unknowing. Such a success is not a success of Chinese culture, but a success of Hollywood. Such success is not something to rejoice in, because it has nothing to do with us at all. ”

I have to say that this article is extremely inflammatory, and the timing chosen is just right, it is conceivable that because of such an article, Chen Xueqian's recent huge popularity in China can be said to have been hit in the face.

Originally, those aspiring young people who were extremely proud of Chen Xueqian for winning glory for the country, and were ready to contribute a movie ticket to Chen Xueqian, were suddenly disheartened, and even resisted, and attacked Chen Xueqian in turn.

Once there are more voices against Chen Xueqian, it will be extremely unfavorable to "Frozen", which is about to collide with "Kung Fu Panda". This disadvantage can't help but be reflected in word-of-mouth, and it will also be reflected in the film arrangement.

That's why Lin Wanqiu said to Chen Xueqian with a solemn face: "DreamWorks is preparing to fight with us in the ring this time!" ”

Yes, at such a time, it is absolutely not an accident that such a video suddenly appears on a large area on the Internet.

And this is still in China, in Europe and the United States, where DreamWorks has more advantages, "Kung Fu Panda" has completely overshadowed "Frozen" as soon as it appeared.

"We're tired of the princess and the prince, no matter what the difference between this princess is, we're enough, there are few people in this world who will be princesses, and we are more likely to be fat people who don't know anything in comparison. So if I had to choose, I would definitely choose to watch "Kung Fu Panda" instead of "Frozen". ”

"A movie is not just a story, it is also an important element of graphics, special effects, music and so on, and the bad thing is that Chen Xueqian may be able to give a good script, but I really don't want a Chinese-made film to come up with any surprising pictures and music, these have always been their weaknesses. What's even more disastrous is that this movie is still a 3D movie, and I should really pray to God that I don't have to suffer like this. ”

Such rhetoric can be found everywhere on the Internet in almost every country. As there are more voices like this, many people instinctively lose their expectations for this "Frozen". And this sentiment is still spreading.

Not only that, but when the Internet was full of comments about Chen Xueqian's new movie, many insiders in the film industry suddenly appeared one after another and publicly talked about the collision between Chen Xueqian and DreamWorks Animation.

"The quality of the films produced by DreamWorks has always been obvious to all, and the animated films they have launched this time also cater to the world's curiosity about the mysterious country of China. It can be said that these two films are obviously better in terms of timing, positioning, and quality assurance, and more importantly, this time Chen Xueqian's new film He did not serve as a producer, but only dubbing, music production, and has written and produced screenwriters. In other words, this movie is not completely under Chen Xueqian's control, which also lays a certain hidden danger for the quality of this movie. ”

An American director said this in an interview with an online media outlet.

Not long after the director spoke, another American director soon expressed his opinion on the matter in an interview.

"I don't know why so many people have been comparing that 'Frozen' and 'Kung Fu Panda' side by side recently. You know, there's no comparison between the two. You must know that DreamWorks' action production level is definitely top even if you look at the world, but who made that "Frozen", does anyone know? Has anyone heard the name of this studio before? I think the reason why there are so many comparisons between these two movies is definitely because some people have ulterior motives to hype and gain popularity, so we should ignore the news. ”

Although this director did not say a bad word about Chen Xueqian on the surface, in fact, his sarcasm of Chen Xueqian could not be more obvious. Annoyingly, you can't accuse him of anything yet.

It seems that overnight, countless voices of Chen Xueqian's singing about Chen Xueqian suddenly appeared on the Internet, and various characters jumped out one after another, alluding to the worrying quality of Chen Xueqian's new work. All this made many fans who were still looking forward to Chen Xueqian's new work retreat. Everyone is golden, and the three of them become tigers, nothing more than this.

Seeing that the Internet is full of slanderous words about Chen Xueqian's new movie, the pressure on Lin Wanqiu's shoulders as a film director can be imagined, and she knows very well that the reason why there is such a huge wave of opposition suddenly is absolutely inseparable from DreamWorks. Rubbing hot spots, borrowing popularity, this kind of thing, which company is not familiar with it.

It's just that after rubbing off on popularity, this kind of thing can't help but make people annoyed. As for those insiders who have pink eye, Lin Wanqiu gritted his teeth with hatred.

"What kind of grudge do you think we have with them, and they can target us like this? What do you say is shoddy? We've spent a couple of years, and we've studied almost every second of the special effects and every expression dozens of times, so why do they just open their mouths and say that we are shoddy? ”

In Chen Xueqian's studio, Lin Wanqiu sat opposite Chen Xueqian and roared indignantly.

However, Chen Xueqian, who was sitting opposite her, sat calmly, unconsciously looking at all kinds of posts on the Internet that hacked him, and when he read the highlights, he also read it out loud and applauded from time to time.

If he hadn't known Chen Xueqian for a while, Lin Wanqiu would definitely think that this person was a psychopath.

Here, Chen Xueqian saw that Lin Wanqiu's face was getting more and more ugly, and finally stopped looking at his black material, turned to look at Lin Wanqiu, and comforted with a smile: "The blade of the sword is sharpened by itself, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." If you want to get a lot of glory, you must endure multiple criticisms, if you can't even bear these rumors, how can you settle down to polish a good work? ”

It's just that Lin Wanqiu's face didn't change at all after listening to Chen Xueqian's words, who wouldn't know these big truths, but knowing these big truths has a fart, you don't care about leaving messages, but fans care, netizens care.

There are more people who care about it, and there are more people who agree, how many people can watch this movie? So their hard work was not in vain?

Seeing this, Chen Xueqian immediately understood that if he gave Lin Wanqiu some depth, the future famous director who was given high hopes by himself might not even be able to sleep well.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xueqian looked at Lin Wanqiu, who was frowning, and said: "Don't worry, I still have a big move that hasn't been released, and when my big move comes out, all these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will not be in the climate." ”

Lin Wanqiu was skeptical about his words, but her face finally looked better.

On February 4, ten days before the release of "Frozen", a promotional video suddenly appeared on the official website of Summit Entertainment. Originally, no media noticed this, but in the afternoon, the Internet changed dramatically.
