Chapter 638: Dream Chaser

With the release of the movie Kung Fu Panda around the world, theaters around the country were full, and the enthusiasm of the audience made the movie Kung Fu Panda full of dreams as soon as it was released.

Audiences in France, the United Kingdom, China, the United States, and all over the world came to the theater to watch the movie when it was released, and that was also because the director of this movie was Director Smith Chow!

With the rapid global popularity of the high-tech movie Iron Man, there are still many viewers on the Internet who are enjoying the Iron Man movie, and countless viewers are looking forward to the sequel to Iron Man.

This year, everything in Iron Man 2 was not ready, so during this period, Zhou Shaoming once again brought a high-tech movie to the audience, although it is an animated film, but it can't stop the audience's expectations for this movie at all!

There are doubts and accusations, but for the audience, these are just a kind of entertainment news after dinner, and when the movie is released, they still come to the theater desperately to enjoy this masterpiece for the first time.

Chinese Kung Fu? Perhaps in China, almost every audience is familiar with the fact that Chinese who have watched Jin Yong or Gulong costume movies or TV series since childhood have always had a martial arts complex.

For foreigners, Chinese kung fu is more heard, there are few Chinese martial arts movies in the local area, Zhou Shaoming is also a martial arts fan, for the world of martial arts, Zhou Shaoming has always been unforgettable, but this is not the main reason for filming Kung Fu Panda.

Zhou Shaoming has a bigger movie dream circling in his heart, and it is also because of his dream that Zhou Shaoming, who has a martial arts complex, filmed this kung fu cartoon in Hollywood.

When making this cartoon, Zhou Shaoming also passed many difficulties, you must know that with Zhou Shaoming's status in Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company today, he wants to shoot a movie. It will definitely be supported by shareholders and senior management!

But when the filming of this movie was started, it was blocked, not that everyone didn't believe in Zhou Shaoming's strength, in terms of Zhou Shaoming's appeal to the global box office results today, especially after the release of Iron Man, I believe that in the past two or three years, Zhou Shaoming's movies will not lose money!

No matter what the movie is, this is the judgment made by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company on the director of the next week, Shaoming, having said that, it cost hundreds of millions to shoot an animated film. This makes many people in the company hesitate.

It's not that I'm afraid that Zhou Shaoming will lose money when he releases this movie and the box office results will be dismal, but it will take more than a year to finish producing a high-tech cartoon, how much profit is behind it?

The time is too long, the capital investment is too huge, which is also a lot of obstacles encountered within the company before the filming of the film, Zhou Shaoming also saw everyone's thoughts and promised in public. Although the movie Kung Fu Panda will not be like the Iron Man movie, it will achieve proud box office results.

But after a long period of filming and completing the film, the box office performance will be guaranteed to be double the original production cost. And Zhou Shaoming's tough attitude at that time made everyone give in.

As expected, the cartoon took up to 9 months. It is still the result of Zhou Shaoming and others constantly expanding the production team, from the original production team of hundreds of people to hundreds of people, which is compared to shooting a live-action movie. How many times more, even if there are movies with extras, there will not be so many characters.

And the wages of these people are not like the masses. The actor who runs the show is so cheap, and in nine months, the people in the company think that Zhou Shaoming is enough to create a commercial blockbuster that is shocking enough to bring endless gains to the company's interest image.

However, after the release time of this kung fu panda cartoon was confirmed, the result became a little unexpected, and the doubts of many film critics began to make many people within the company begin to question.

Just hope that this movie can be smooth and profitable to ensure that the cost will be fine, this is the idea of many shareholders, for the supernova entertainment film and television company to expand like this, many shareholders have begun to emerge, but even so, Zhou Shaoming still has a certain right to speak within the company.

The shareholders will not care about the hard work of Zhou Shaoming and others in this movie, they only know whether the money in their pockets will increase or decrease because of this movie, and the result is the most important thing.

For these people, Zhou Shaoming can't give them a response for a while, no matter how much he says, it will be in vain, when the box office results of the movie come out, everything will be clear.

The advent of this day also made Zhou Shaoming feel a lot of pressure, doubts from the outside world, pressure from within the company, everything is waiting for the box office results of Kung Fu Panda.

How critical is the success or failure of the premiere, Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting in the theater, took a deep breath, and Zhou Shaoming had been in the theater in Los Angeles to observe the audience's attitude towards his work.

This time, Zhou Shaoming actually wanted to go to the Chinese theater to see the Chinese audience's speech and attitude on the spot, but after all, because he wanted to appease the company's internal affairs, he didn't go, but Zhou Shaoming knew that one day he would come to the Chinese theater himself, reflecting the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience after watching his movie.

The premiere was almost a hit in theaters around the world at the same time, as dreamy as the beginning of the movie Kung Fu Panda, which was full of martial arts dreams as soon as it began.

The protagonist Po is dreaming of martial arts in broad daylight, dreaming of becoming a hero in the Valley of Peace and protecting the villagers. But the cruel reality finally makes the protagonist wake up.

Po, who woke up, still saw the place where he grew up, and it was also because of his father's hard work every day to raise him that he could grow fat and strong. But Po knew better in his heart that his father wanted to make himself a noodle chef to continue the noodle restaurant.

"Have a nightmare?" Po's father appeared.

The audience was a little surprised and began to whisper: "Bao's father turned out to be an ostrich, my God, what kind of logic is this." "A dreamy opening that fascinates the audience, and the dream of a kung fu hero makes people feel a burst of excitement, even if the protagonist is dreaming.

But that sense of closeness comes from the heart, think about living in this world, who doesn't have dreams! Even if you want to eat, you want to have meat and wine to drink every day, even if you do everything, lie in bed, and have all kinds of beautiful dreams, that is a kind of dream.

Just unrealistic dreams. How many people in the world can be happy? The protagonist's mood at this time suddenly brought the audience a lot closer.

However, as the protagonist of the film, more audiences are full of expectations, expecting the protagonist Po to make his dream come true. However, the beginning of the film made the audience feel a little shocked.

Even a three-year-old child knows one thing, "Isn't the father of a panda supposed to be a panda?" How is a bird? A boy asked strangely in his father's arms.

An inconspicuous middle-aged man who was also sitting in the corner snorted: "Smith Zhou, this guy seems to be paving the way again, and the film will probably appear at the end, they are not the picture of their own father and son." ”

Po woke up from her dream. To face the reality, that is, to face his father's expectations, to inherit this noodle restaurant, but Po has no intention of becoming the owner of this noodle restaurant.

"Yes." Po responded truthfully.

"What are you dreaming about?" Bao's father asked.

Ah Bao didn't dare to say what was in his heart, for fear of hurting his father, so he panicked at his father, saying that he had a dream.

Bao's father was overjoyed when he heard this, and the long-awaited miracle finally appeared. At this time, Ah Bao's father said to Ah Bao earnestly: "From my own father, my father's father, I have always been making noodles, and now I can finally pass on this craft to you." Bao. ”

Ah Bao, who heard this, was suddenly startled, in his father's eyes, he was making noodles and would always make noodles. But his dream is to be a hero and do chivalrous deeds.

Po, who wanted to muster up the courage to say all this, didn't say it in the end. Hearing that a martial arts conference was going to be held in the Valley of Peace and that the dragon warriors were elected, Ah Bao, who was determined to become a hero, proposed to be a wheat noodle at the conference, and Ah Bao's father heard this, so he agreed without hesitation and let Ah Bao take the guy up the mountain.

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, and when he saw this period, in fact, when Zhou Shaoming filmed and produced this scene, he was quite touched. Because in the beginning, this scenario was not played out like this.

The original plot is that after Ah Bao dreamed, he heard that his father was always like that, the son followed his father's business, and he had to stick to his duty for generations, and he couldn't do anything else except make noodles.

Ah Bao just woke up from the martial arts dream, and after hearing his father's words, he couldn't help but quarrel with his father.

Originally, this plot had been produced, but after Zhou Shaoming himself watched it, he always seemed a little dissatisfied, and according to the complex of the script outline, there was not much of a problem.

A panda that has not yet matured, Bao, after the dream, when facing the reality, coupled with his father's chatter, constantly stimulated Bao's heart, Bao couldn't help but say his thoughts, but was denied by his father, when the two were angry, such a grand scene of the martial arts conference quickly spread throughout the Valley of Peace.

Ah Bao, who knew the news, naturally came to the martial arts conference and became a dragon warrior in the mouth of the turtle master, which is very reasonable. However, after reading this paragraph, Zhou Shaoming always felt that something was missing. Such plots are very common.

When Zhou Shaoming was circling, he remembered the story of a Chinese boy, which made Zhou Shaoming rewrite this plot and have such a scene.

This story was also heard by Zhou Shaoming when he was promoting Iron Man in China. After an encounter with the boy, there was a chance to chat.

The boy didn't always ask for this autograph like everyone else, and asked Endo about himself, the boy looked at Zhou Shaoming with a puzzled look, and just asked lightly: "Can I tell my story in front of you?" ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, always feeling that there were a lot of stories on the boy, and the curious Zhou Shaoming nodded.

The boy told his story: after graduation, he also found a job or two, although it was hard and he made little money, but after all, he was led to the boss in the company.

However, the family always felt that there was no guarantee from the private company, and hoped that they would enter a guaranteed company, so they were introduced to learn to drive a bus, but they didn't expect to go by ghost.

I don't have a driver's license and have hardly moved the car, when I saw a 9-meter-long, 3-meter-wide bus, I was really shocked, and I asked myself at that time, I was so thin, can I take a group of passengers and drive this bus well?

However, there is no way. Tens of thousands of tuition fees have been paid, and the family still hopes that they can settle down early with this stable job.

As a result, when learning to drive, it is conceivable that the kind of mechanical direction of the car is not easy to drive at all, and it can be said that whenever the cab is driven with such a huge thing, I always feel frightened.

I remember one time when I was driving on the road, I kept adding the throttle, and the throttle was too big. The coach shouted next to him for a while, and he nervously listened to the downshift, so he kept reducing, and finally the coach sitting next to him scolded fiercely: The brain is sick.

I felt very ashamed of the shame on the car, and since that day, I have been listening to the sound of the engine with my heart. Until one day, the eyes lit up. Could it be their own delusion?

Within a few days the boy actually heard while the other cadets were driving. I heard the engine constantly shouting, upshifting, downshifting. But the person driving the car was not himself, and at that time he thought he was showing off again. Think too much.

But fortunately, that day, when I drove back to the driving school, I drove the last mile, and I wanted to say it at that time. But I'm afraid that others will say, have you watched too many TV series?

I didn't say much, but after all, when I was driving. I couldn't help it, and I started to drive at my own pace. When I looked at the road, I kept feeling the sound of the engine with my heart, and at that moment, I was very happy, but when I used to get in the car, I always felt very painful.

However, at that moment, the boy clearly felt that even the bulky coach was very happy, as if nothing could stop the car from moving forward, and kept going back to the driving school.

When encountering an obstacle, he quickly stepped on the brake, but he didn't just downshift like he did at the beginning, but stepped on the accelerator and listened to the sound of the car engine.

On the road, I kept running wildly, this was the first time I drove the car so smoothly during the time I came to the driving school, I remember that in the afternoon, I was on the road to training, and even the rookie who turned off the uphill start suddenly became so smooth.

In the future, whenever the coach scolded himself, he would keep thinking and trying, and the back became more and more smooth, and the coach scolded himself for why he always walked with the double solid line on the road, and he began to ponder, and it didn't take long for him to observe the line of the mainland through the afterglow, and clearly see a road. The appearance of that road seems to have been leading me to make my car drive on the road very correctly.

Even if you have so much fun and study so seriously, what can you do? After all, I don't like it, because my father has driven a car all his life? Sometimes I wonder if it's because of what kind of profession my father has, this job must be done as a son, and it will go well?

"Is it true that I've been driving all my life?" The boy asked Zhou Shaoming sadly.

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, not knowing how to answer the boy's question: "Why don't you try other jobs you like?" ”

The boy said with a smile: "It's too late, I'm already very big, I need it, and I want to take on everything in my life." Am I doing the right thing? ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't say anything, but when he saw his sad face, the boy stood up and smiled at Zhou Shaoming, "It's okay, thank you for listening to my story." ”

The boy was about to leave, Zhou Shaoming stood up and said, "What's your name, if I can, I can tell your story and make it into a movie?" ”

The boy smiled, "Thank you." ”

Zhou Shaoming just saw the boy leave and didn't leave his name, as if he could see from the boy's eyes that his words were just to comfort him again.

This story suddenly appeared in Zhou Shaoming's mind, and when the scene of Kung Fu Panda had been filmed and produced according to the original outline, Zhou Shaoming tried to use the core of the boy's story again to modify the original story.

Of course, in reality, Zhou Shaoming was not so happy to see the boy, and felt too sad, so on Kung Fu Panda, Zhou Shaoming used a story to interpret the story he heard.

When he saw the image of Kung Fu Panda, Zhou Shaoming remembered the boy he had seen, and he seemed to be a stark contrast at all.

It is also because of this boy's story that Zhou Shaoming has such a beginning as Kung Fu Panda, although he doesn't know the boy's name, but I hope he can see it.

Ah Bao in the theater took the guy who made noodles and prepared to march towards the mountain, but the villagers around him kept going up the mountain, even if everyone who went up the mountain in the end, Ah Bao still tried his best to go up the mountain.

Ten thousand feet of stairs, Ah Bao felt numb when he saw such a difficult way up the mountain, but when he thought of being able to see his idols, the five heroes who guarded the Valley of Peace, Ah Bao's power came.

kept wanting to take the cart to the mountain, but after Po kept struggling to climb up, the camera flashed, and the audience in the theater couldn't help but smile.

What" Bao, this guy didn't go up a step at all. In the shot, Ah Bao kept struggling towards the steps, but because of the heaviness of the cart, he barely went up a step at all.

The journey up the mountain is still so far away, Ah Bao is anxious, looking at the mountain, thinking of the convening of the martial arts conference, he has been thinking about the five heroes in the twilight! Po finally couldn't help it, let go of his heart, put down everything in his elbows, and began to run towards the mountain alone. (To be continued......)
