Chapter 633: Animated Movie
In fact, there is another animated movie, and it is also a domestic animated movie, which Han Li also likes very much, that is, "The Origin of the White Snake", which has captured a large number of fans and achieved good box office results in later generations.
This is a very good domestic 3D cartoon, which is very good in the movie plot, action fights and pictures.
And this movie also has a feature, that is, its style is very distinct, and it looks like a domestic animated film.
Han Li thought about learning from this cartoon, but this animation uses 3D technology, and it also uses motion capture in the fight. Although their skills are not bad in these two aspects, Han Li feels that such a film is not suitable for production now.
There is also the fact that this film is somewhat adult-colored, even when it was released in later generations, it was criticized. If it is produced and released now, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of criticism in the current environment.
And as their first animated movie, they must at least come up with a refreshing and representative film. So weighing the pros and cons, Han Li finally vetoed it.
So what story does this new animated film want to tell, not only Han Li is entangled, but also everyone in the animation project department is very conflicted.
There are some people who believe that their previous projects have been successful, such as the "Rabbit" series, the "Summer Morning Talk" series, and the "War Era" series. These three series have been a huge success in terms of dramas, and it is better to take the opportunity to choose one of the three major series to make a big movie, I believe it will achieve good results.
Among the three series, the "Rabbit" series is the least favored. Although this series is more mainstream and has relatively light coverage, the plot is too simple to last more than 90 minutes.
To put it bluntly, this series is only suitable for dramas or short films.
The only ones left are the "Summer Morning Talk" series and the "War Era" series, which are actually two styles or two genres.
Choose the "Summer Morning Talk" series, then you have to take the lyrical literary route. It is suitable to use a two-dimensional style to express the whole beautiful love story, and strive to make it into "Those Years" in animated films.
And choosing the "Age of War" series means taking the action picture route, and the script no longer seems so important. The fierce fights and shocking pictures are the core of its attraction to the audience.
In fact, for this cartoon, Han Li and they plan to make a big movie, but the time is not ripe yet.
And some people think that they should innovate and choose new stories for production, among which Han Li's "Civilization War" has also become one of the important choices for everyone to discuss adaptation.
Others and comics, and even rewriting scripts, became the object of their choice.
Therefore, there is a lot of controversy within the animation project department about what theme and content to choose. Since there is a controversy, then this decision is put in front of Han Li again. On the one hand, it is because of these people's blind trust in him, and on the other hand, who made him the leader and the person in charge of this show.
Well, the problem was in front of him again.
But in his opinion, in fact, there are only two choices, either insist on originality or learn from the classics.
For him personally, he naturally wants to insist on originality. Although even if he borrowed from others, others didn't know it, but he always felt awkward in his heart.
But if you borrow it, the risk is too great, and no one knows if their original film will be reused. As the first animation they produced, they had to get off to a good start.
So from this point of view, for the sake of insurance, then it can only be borrowed.
But which one to borrow, Han Li himself was also embarrassed.
However, after synthesizing the opinions of other people in the animation project department, Han Li set his goal on an animated film that would be very good at the box office and word of mouth in later generations.
"Name", which is an animated film directed by the famous animation director Xin Cheng of the island country, was released in the summer of 16.
The film was distributed in 125 countries around the world. As of the global box office receipt, it reached 280 million US dollars, surpassing "Chihiro" and becoming the highest-grossing film in the history of island films.
The first-day box office of its domestic release alone earned a total of 75 million, and won the one-weekend box office championship with a first-week box office of more than 200 million. The final box office was reported to be 570 million, setting a new record for the highest box office of an island country film in China.
Not only at the box office, but also in the art awards, it has also achieved very remarkable results, winning dozens of international awards in 16 to 17 years.
At the same time, this movie has also achieved a very good reputation among the audience, and has maintained high scores and evaluations on major film review platforms.
Han Li believes that the appearance of such a movie will definitely give them a good start in the field of making animated films.
But this movie is good, there are still a lot of problems in it. For example, this film is too fantastical, and there are many island elements in the story.
If the story of this animation is extracted and then put into the background of our domestic greetings, this is a headache for Han Li.
First of all, the two protagonists in the story, Han Li must redesign their identities and backgrounds.
For example, the male protagonist Taki, in the original work, he is a high school student who lives in Tokyo with his father, and he is also working part-time outside.
In the context of China, it is definitely inappropriate for high school students to work part-time, and it is not accepted by the audience.
So Han Li changed the name of the actor to a name that conforms to our own cultural characteristics, and changed from a high school student to a college student, so it is more appropriate to go outside to work part-time.
Then the environment in which the protagonist lives will also be adjusted, from home to school dormitory. In this way, the relevant background and story should also be modified, and some interesting facts about the heroine's role in the boys' dormitory after changing identities will be added.
Even the city where the male protagonist lives has to be modified.,Originally, Han Li wanted to put it directly in Anxi.,They have experience in this area.。
But after thinking about it, he still vetoed it, and instead put it in the more modern and developed magic capital, which is more impactful and contrasting.
As for the heroine Sanye, Han Li decided to replace it with a minority girl in a remote area of the southwest. After careful thinking and consulting relevant information, he put the mountain village where the heroine lives in a Miao village.
The reason why Miao Village was chosen is mainly because Miao Village is relatively mysterious compared to the general audience. Moreover, the architecture, clothing, and culture of Miao Village are also very distinctive, which will have a very big contrast with modern urban life and have more impact.
In this way, the whole plot is more reasonable. A girl living in a Miao village in the mountains in a remote area, full of longing for the metropolis.
And an architecture college student who has lived in a big city since he was a child has a bad life and wants to escape from the city and explore more and more interesting buildings.
In this way, the whole story is more dramatic, thus engaging the audience.
