Chapter 324: It's another summer file

The movie is gradually coming to an end, and like all mainstream Hollywood films, it will always be infinitely close to mainstream values, and "Bug Crisis" is no exception.

Through a group of insects, it fully demonstrates the values of responsibility, solidarity and freedom, and although it is somewhat preachy, Pixar Studios has made these excellent dishes into the film through some interesting scenes, making the audience laugh and worry about the fate of these insects unknowingly.

The good guys will always beat the bad guys, and the bad guys will never end well.

After all, this is an all-age movie, and the ending is almost Hollywood conventional.

In the face of the oppression of the grasshopper leader Overlord, Felik mustered up the courage to stand up and proved with his words and actions that little ants can also do big things, the ant kingdom united and bravely resisted, and the grasshoppers that were much less numerous than them were not opponents at all, so they could only flee in a hurry.

Unwillingly defeated, the overlord captures Felik, but is introduced into the nest by the little ants, and eventually becomes a meal in the belly of the chicks.

The plot of the movie is not complicated, and it inherits the style of "Toy Story" very well, which makes people feel fun and brings something worth thinking about.

In addition to these, the most striking thing is the graphics, this animated feature film has many detailed scenes to show, among which you can see that Pixar Studios has made great strides in terms of technology after "Toy Story", and that group of idealists has never slowed down.

"All dolls need a complete set of ......"

Walking out of the screening hall, Taylor stood in the place where the merch was sold, and after she looked at Christine and Scarlett, she quickly changed her words, "No, I want three sets!" ”

"Honey, I think you took quite a few from Pixar." Ryan asked, surprised.

"It was given to me by Director Lasseter and Mr. Kammel, and you haven't sent it yet?" The little girl was full of words. The mouth is full of fallacies.

Ryan had no choice but to open his pockets and ask Natalie beside him at the same time, "Do you need it, Nat?" ”

The Long Island girl took Taylor by the hand and shook her head firmly.

"Okay, we should leave, or we'll be haunted by reporters when the press conference is over."

After several bodyguards picked up a bunch of dolls, Ryan led a group of people towards the back door, and suddenly remembered something. "Taylor, don't you need to be at the press conference?"

"Nat said those guys were annoying, so I didn't want to go." The little girl rolled her eyes, let go of Natalie, walked over to Ryan, and said pitifully, "I'm hungry......"

"I'll go back to the hotel right away, and I'll order takeout then." Ryan pulled her and quickened his pace.

"No, I don't. I'm going to the restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building. The little girl pursed her lips.

The summer vacation has just begun, and the works of various film companies are released one after another, among which there are many box office hits, and there are more movies on one-week or even three-day tours in theaters. For example, Warner Bros. invested more than 40 million yuan to produce "Looking for Camelo City", which was released a week earlier than "Saving Private Ryan", but the box office results were extremely miserable, even though Warner invested a lot of resources in the future. There is still no improvement, and after the release of "Bug Crisis", the animated film went offline.

Fortunately, the overseas copyright was sold out in advance. Some of the investment can be recouped somewhat.

The first big-budget animated feature film in the summer file suffered a fiasco, which made many people worry about the prospects of "Bug Crisis".

And compared with the amazement of "Toy Story", the professional media did not give this animated feature film too high an evaluation, thinking that Pixar Studio has made significant progress in terms of technology, but it lacks in storytelling.

Of course, whether it is the producer Pixar Studios or the distributor Paramount Pictures, the publicity and public relations work in advance has been extremely well done, and many of the film's total budget of 100 million US dollars have been thrown on it, and most of the mainstream media, after subtle criticism, basically think that 'this is definitely a movie worth the ticket price, and it is worth watching the whole family in the theater together'.

Ryan's team, also on his personal website, made a highlight recommendation for the movie, which, while flawed, had more flashes.

Three days after the first week, "Bug Crisis" earned more than $35 million at the North American box office, which is already a very good result for an animated feature film, even if it doesn't win the top spot in the North American weekly box office charts, it is enough to make Pixar Studios breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that "Saving Private Ryan", who sits at the top of the North American box office charts, after a full second week, although the box office of this movie has declined, it still outperforms all movies in the same period with a box office figure of more than $43 million.

This is a very normal phenomenon, the paradox of eight saving one in "Saving Private Ryan" has sparked extensive discussion in North America, which can naturally attract a large number of audiences, and the majority of the revenue of "Bug Crisis" is not at the box office, and various derivatives are the main source of profit.

Although the main characters of "Bug Crisis" are not very popular bugs in reality, the cute image in the movie still attracts a large number of people to pay for it.

Ryan has no intention of leaving New York for the time being, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with, after reading the plan for the "X-Men" series in Marvel Comics, and briefly saying a few comments, he took two little girls with dead faces, got in the car and came to Blue Sky Studio.

"Let me think, comics, dolls, digital models, God, Christine, we didn't sweep the warehouse of Surprise."

Sitting next to Ryan bored, Taylor was still complaining to his companion, "That squirrel that Blue Sky just made is very good, Christine, remember to remind me to bring more when you go." ”

"Hmm~ That's a good idea." The little girl with short brown hair nodded her head sharply.

"Dear two little ladies, that squirrel has just determined its image, and there are no related products."

Ryan saw Chris sitting across from him? The corners of Welch's mouth seemed to tremble, and he had to say, "Sorry, Chris, the two of them were so naughty. ”

"This is Scott's genius daughter, right?" Unexpectedly, this little girl's reputation spread to New York.

"Do you know my dad?" Taylor's royal blue eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking something again.

"We're very good friends."

Hearing the other party say this, Taylor stuck out his tongue and was much quieter.

"Leave them alone, let's go on." Ryan motioned for the two little ones to be quiet.

"We intend to use squirrels to lead the whole story, and currently three animal protagonists have been identified, Sid the otter, Manny the mammoth, and Diego the saber-toothed tiger, the general image of the animal we have seen just now, Ryan, you also agreed, as for the specific storyline, the screenwriter team is currently working hard."

Chris? Wetch took a long sip of coffee and continued, "According to the plan, we will start the official animation production in September, and it is scheduled to be completed in two thousand years, and the distribution side ......."

As he spoke, he looked at Ryan.

"I'll put people in touch with the right publisher." Ryan nodded.

Blue Sky Studio's "Ice Age" plan, Ryan didn't intervene much, just like for Pixar Studio, he would only make some suggestions to avoid detours, these two top animation studios in the future, as long as they develop according to the normal trajectory.

The most he provided was financial help.

No one better than Chris? Wage, more than the people at Blue Sky Studios, wanted "Ice Age" to be a success, when Ryan bought them, Blue Sky Studios and Pixar Studios were nicknamed the two ugly ducklings, and now that Pixar has achieved great success, they naturally want to completely transform into white swans.

Even with "Titanic", Blue Sky Studio has proven its technical ability, but without an independent work, it is still not a success.

After half an afternoon in Blue Sky Studio, Ryan left, and on the way back, two little girls were holding dolls scavenged from Marvel, smiling so hard that they couldn't find their eyes.

"Aren't you going back to the hotel?" Ryan asked.

"What are you going to do? Chubby chick is back in Los Angeles. Taylor looked at him strangely, "Do you want us to go back and play with that pink goblin?" I don't want to be angry, she's too naïve and naïve! ”

Immature? Naive? Are you sure you're not talking about yourself?

Ryan didn't bother to argue and continued to ask, "Then I'll send you to Nat." ”

"She's going to work on the script." A frightened look appeared on Taylor's face, as if he remembered something extremely terrifying, "Even if you go, you'll have to have dinner, and the dishes made by Nat can poison people." ”

"Hmm~ It's terrible." The other girl nodded as well.

Is it so scary? Ryan knows Natalie's cooking skills, so he never tastes the food she makes, and the two little girls may well have become her test samples.

Nat, you actually took a child to test the evil human body, and I will definitely not let you go another day. Ryan had a lot of anachronistic images in his head.

"That...... By the way, Ryan, "Mulan" is about to be released, are we going to see it? Taylor's eyes were filled with longing, and she had always been interested in singing and hilarious cartoons like "The Lion King."

"We shouldn't be adding to the box office for Disney." Christine was a rare voice of her own.

"Stupid Christine, the three of us, yes, we have to call Nat, how many dollars can the four of us spend?" As if to confirm his claim, Taylor took out a small purse from Christine's backpack, took out a few green bills and said, "Pocket money is for use, not for saving, dear Christine."
