Although "Mulan" has not yet been officially released, it has become popular all over the world. The reason for this is nothing more than the reputation of Song Mu and "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".

Because of the blessing of the two major awards of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", one of which is the little golden man of the rice people, coupled with the influence of trendy toys distributed all over the world, Song Mu's name alone has attracted countless media people.

The content of "Mulan" happens to be in favor of mainstream Western values, and after watching this animated film, the vast majority of foreign media people have given positive praise -

"Director Song has made a bold recreation of the story of Hua Mulan in China, the humor and witty coexistence of the East and the West, grandeur and warmth, and the fierce but not bloody battles, this is a rare action movie for children to watch."

"The soundtrack of the film is simply speechless! That's right, unbeatable! A large number of beautiful Chinese musical instruments and beautiful Chinese melodies are played in a way that Westerners are accustomed to! The best part is that this style is used throughout! Even the theme song! Although I couldn't understand Mandarin, I couldn't help but want to listen to those theme songs over and over again! W must! If the publisher of the United States is still you, please use English carefully! ”

"Every move and style has a look, which gives me the illusion that I am watching a kung fu movie on Hong Kong Island. The kung fu inside is so cool! ”

"Mulan" unveils the mystery of the ancient oriental country for us, so that we can better understand the culture of China, and this animation can be said to inject new vitality into the world animation industry! Huaguo is no longer the Huaguo that only has animated short films! ”

"I had that feeling when I was in "Splitting the Mountain to Save My Mother", and now "Mulan" has made me more and more sure that Director Song is a gentle person. She concealed all the cruelty in a unique way, and the fall of the Khan was even more gorgeous. I can't say in great detail, but perhaps, this is Director Song, or the cultivation of traditional Chinese culture. ”

“……”

Similar praise and comments, praise from various angles, appeared in major movie-related media almost at the same time, and what is even more surprising is that a few days later, articles about "Mulan" even appeared in mainstream Western political media-

"Who says women are inferior to men? Women don't let the eyebrows go! Just when you are clamoring for equality between men and women, Huaguo, which is far away in the East, has already done it! Not only do they have slogans that women can hold up for half a day, but they also have animations like "Mulan"! ”

"What is Hua Guo talking about when we are still talking to our children about the prince rescuing the princess? They say that the princess does not need the help of the prince, she can fight alongside the prince and even rescue the king! Girls, we should be self-reliant, not be men's dolls! ”

“……”

At first, the articles out of the circle were all positive, but one of the selling points of the current political media is to tear each other apart, since a group of people are boasting, another group of people will stand up and sing the opposite-

"Why does Mulan have to dress as a man to join the army? This is not the awakening of women, this is still a patriarchal society! ”

"I don't deny that "Mulan" is a good cartoon, but I want to ask a little bit, why did she give up her career and return to her family in the end? Is she really promoting equality between men and women? ”

“……”

With these counter-tone "cooperation", the popularity of "Mulan" exploded directly for a while.

Whether they are fans of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", whether they want to cheer for "Mulan" or dismantle the stage, almost everyone around the world, except for those backward countries and China, is looking forward to "Mulan" and calling for "Mulan" to be released globally as soon as possible.

Of course, Song Mu, who is in the country, is still as usual, and he doesn't know that the so-called mainstream Western countries have quarreled for "Mulan" in the past few days.

It wasn't until Woody Smith of W Bi Pictures finally contacted Song Mu through some channel that she knew that the popularity had reached such an extent.

"Miss Song, we have two plans now," on the phone, Song Mu listened to Woody Smith's speech, which was translated into Chinese, and he still talked endlessly: "First, we will directly release the subtitle version, just like the current release of the National Animation Festival; Second, we will continue to wait for all the English dubbing to be completed before releasing it. Which one do you prefer? ”

Song Mu didn't answer him immediately, but asked him rhetorically: "Mr. Smith, I remember you said that people don't like to read subtitles?" ”

"Yes." Woody Smith did not deny it: "We Americans hate subtitles, and this will not change. But now "Mulan" is popular around the world. It's all very hot, and if it's released at this time, there will definitely be a good number at the box office. ”

Even if he couldn't see it on the other side of the phone, Song Mu nodded subconsciously: "If you want to wait until the dubbing is completed, how long do you have to wait?" Does the dubbing include an English cover of the theme song in it? ”

"Including covers, we even found a new generation of singers and two veteran singers for this purpose." Woody Smith knows everything: "In terms of English dubbing, the main characters are also popular movie stars in Hollywood. But if you want to talk about time......"

Woody Smith suddenly became a little entangled: "Because they are all looking for popular movie stars, many of them have some conflicts in time, if they are lucky, it will only take about a week; If you're unlucky, it may take another two months to complete. ”

"Two months......" Song Mu hesitated.

When she got the news from Woody Smith today and knew that the routine of "Mulan" "I copied my own popularity" was successful, she was still very happy. However, talking to Woody Smith now, she is a little depressed. If she had known that W would have invested so much money for "Mulan", she would have waited until ...... Well, there doesn't seem to be a way to wait for this wave.

"Mr. Smith," Song Mu asked after thinking for a moment, "you said that the fastest is one week, and the slowest is two months?" That shouldn't be a big problem in a month, right? ”

Woody Smith heard the sound of papers flipping, and he didn't know if he was checking the movie stars' schedules or what he was counting, and after a while he replied, "It's a little hard to make me have to do it for a week, but for a month, it should still be okay to push me regardless of my face." ”

Hearing this answer, Song Mu's heart suddenly had an answer: "Mr. Smith, if you can guarantee that you will be ready for the release within a month, I suggest you wait a little longer." ”

Without waiting for Woody Smith to ask again, Song Mu took the initiative to explain: "I don't know if you have seen this "Mulan", but I can tell you bluntly that in order to cater to fans in Western countries, this "Mulan" has largely added some baggage that only Western countries can understand.

"Also, if your English-speaking voice actors are mentored by popular movie stars and singers, they would have been a publicity stunt for the anime.

Finally, the Peace International Animation Film Festival, where "Mulan" is now exhibiting, is still some time away from the opening of the competition unit, and once "Mulan" wins the award, there will definitely be a wave of popularity. Besides, even if there is no heat at that time, you must take the lead in hyping a wave, right? ”

Woody Smith was just a momentary red-eyed to pave the heat of the place, but at this moment, after Song Mu's analysis, his head also sobered up, and he suddenly felt very reasonable.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was something inconsistent: "Miss Song, I don't have the energy to pay attention to this animation festival in Yueguo." I would like to ask, in addition to "Mulan", is there any other competition animation of the same level in the competition unit of the Peace International Animation Film Festival? ”

Song Mu groaned slightly, and then said affirmatively: "Yes." ”

"Which one? Has it been released? Who is the issuing company? Woody Smith couldn't help but be a little nervous.

In a short period of time, he made a calculation. If that anime has already been released, it doesn't matter if it's the anime that wins in the end; If it hasn't been released yet, he must find the distribution company as soon as possible to see if he can exchange benefits with the other party's distribution company.

"That anime is quite famous, but it's already been released. As for the issuing company, you're familiar with it. Song Mu laughed for some reason.

Woody Smith heard Song Mu say that it had been released, and he was familiar with the distribution company, and his nervous heart suddenly relaxed most of the time. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are not many animated movies that can be used in the past year?

Out of curiosity, of course, also in order for the topic to continue, Woody Smith continued to ask: "Miss Song, I don't know which animation?" Who is the issuing company?

"Uh...... The distribution company, you are your family, and the name of that animated movie is "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother". ”

Woody Smith: "......"

Let's play with me!

Song Mu also seemed to think that this joke was a bit excessive, and she hurriedly said, "Mr. Smith, you can rest assured." This year's Peace International Animation Film Festival can beat me, except for Master Miyazaki's "Beanie Dragon", there is almost no animation that can be played. And I have two animations "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" and "Mulan" shortlisted, and under two to one, presumably Master Miyazaki is not so easy to win. ”

Woody Smith Again: "......"

Film and television awards are not fights, who taught you the logic of winning big faces if you have more films!

Although there were 10,000 divine beasts rushing by in his heart, Woody Smith did not intend to debate with Song Mu seriously. He laughed dryly twice, and then said to Song Mu: """Doudoulong" will not be released in the United States in the short term, which will have no impact on our "Mulan" at all. In this way, there is basically no problem, so I will urge those movie stars to let our "Mulan" come out as soon as possible. ”

"As long as it's within a few days after the lottery, even if you don't win the grand prize, the situation that my two animations are shortlisted at the same time will make a big news, so don't be afraid of no traffic!" Song Mu asked: "Then the English version will trouble you." ”
