"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", a big animated movie made by a poor crew after gambling everything.

The filming process of the whole movie was bumpy, and the situation after its release was also very difficult.

Under the squeeze of "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man", this animated movie is not favored by many theaters, after all, domestic animated movies are basically on the streets.

Before that, the most tragic thing was the "Kuiba" series, each of which shouted the slogan of breaking 100 million, with a box office of 3.5 million in the first part, 26 million in the second part, and less than 30 million in the third part. Due to the difficulty of recovering the cost, this series was directly aborted.

And what are the big animated series movies with a relatively stable domestic box office?

That's right, it's the "Bear Infested" series.

Today's children, the five elements are underwhelmed, the zodiac is a bear, and they love "Bear Infested", with a box office of over 100 million.

"The Return of the Great Sage" was only about 8% or 9% of the early films, but later because of the word-of-mouth, coupled with a bunch of audiences spontaneously forming a water army, calling themselves "tap water", the venue was full and the attendance rate was against the sky.

Seeing this situation, the theater chain made an unprecedented reverse growth in the film schedule, and even increased the film schedule to about 30% at one point. Prior to this, looking at most movies, this kind of reverse growth in film scheduling was extremely rare.

In the end, this film, which was not favored by investors or theaters, won a box office of 956 million, and successfully defeated "Kung Fu Panda", setting a new box office record for animated films that year.

It's a big drama of Dick Si counterattacking the rich and handsome.

Of course, due to the large number of "tap water", there are also a small number of people who are a little disgusted by the overwhelming publicity at first, but there is no doubt that the people who like this movie are in the majority.

Even the score on Douban was once as high as 8.8 points, second only to "Havoc in Heaven" in animated movies.

It's understandable, after all, that's Monkey King.

Although the director of the film, Tian Xiaopeng, is a god, and even "People's Daily" said that his film is a phenomenon in the past ten years, he has always maintained humility, and also admitted that there is a certain gap between his works and RB and Hollywood animation, and he still needs to continue to work hard.

Therefore, when Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" came to China to promote, the two directors of "Big Fish and Begonia" directly sent souvenirs of their works to Makoto Shinkai, and Tian Xiaopeng sent a large box of snacks, and said that his works are average, and he can't get his hands on it, so I'll give you something to eat.

The style of painting is simply strange.

After learning that Lu Xiaosu was going to make a big animated movie, including Chen Ran's sister, the entire animation department of Lu Dong Media went crazy!

The success of "100,000 Bad Jokes" and "Soul Street" has given them ambitions.

Originally, according to the plan, after the end of "Town Soul Street", it was time to make "Under One Man", but the entire animation department actually has the ambition to make a big movie.

But they also know that Lu Dong Media has not made a movie until now, and the first movie will not be able to animate.

After all, animated movies have never risen and have always been in a very embarrassing situation.

For Lu Xiaosu's first movie, he actually chose a big animated movie, and many people in the animation department directly and subconsciously shouted: "Long live the boss!" ”

In fact, they have been doing the basic work related to "The Return of the Great Sage", and in the past nearly a year, it has been completed one after another, after all, animated movies are actually a very cumbersome process.

But no one expected that this plan would be advanced and directly become the first step for the entire company to step into the film industry!

Everyone was excited and feeling a little stressed.

Since they had been doing preliminary work for a year, they calculated the time and suddenly found that the boss should be setting his sights on ...... Spring Festival stalls, right?

In this regard, Lu Xiaosu didn't say much, but just told Chen Ran to finish the tasks he had assigned before in the past few days.

……

……

Since the movie is going to be made, the press conference must be held, Lu Xiaosu still did not show up, and Dong Dongdong was in charge of the press conference.

As soon as I heard that Lu Dong Media was preparing a big movie of the Journey to the West series, the media immediately became interested, but when I asked, I realized that it was actually an animated film!

it, cartoons?

Lu Dong Media is developing so well now, the first step towards the film industry, ready to make cartoons?

You must know that domestic animated movies can be counted on their fingers if the box office exceeds 100 million.

In this time and space, the last domestic animated movie that broke 100 million yuan was in the Spring Festival file of the year before last, called "Cats and Dogs Celebrate the New Year", a typical bear child movie, the bear child clamored for his parents to take it to watch, and then broke 100 million yuan.

Lu Xiaosu ...... Do you want to shoot like this?

To be honest, most netizens were disappointed.

They are not young, and they are indeed full of expectations for Lu Xiaosu's Journey to the West series, but looking at this posture, it is clear that they want to make a movie for children, after all, domestic animated movies are all on this road.

Even though Lu Dong Media said that this movie is aimed at all ages, netizens said: I don't even believe in a single punctuation mark.

That's what the big animated movies used to say, paralyzed, counting on how many times we were fooled?

On the Internet, it can be said that there is a lot of discussion.

"I like "Daughter's Love" and "Wukong" very much, and I also bought Lu Xiaosu's "The Legend of Wukong", but I don't expect it from the animated movie."

"It's not that we worship foreign countries, but it's true that film and television companies don't have the heart to make big animated movies, which are several grades worse."

"I'll take my daughter and son to see it then, but I'm not really interested in this movie."

The trend of the Internet is a bit one-sided, thanks to the predecessors of the animation, all the word-of-mouth has been lost.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Now it's a good thing, the predecessors cut down the tree.

On the second day, Ludong Media directly announced in a high-profile manner that it plans to invest 100 million!

In an instant, both the industry and the outside were stunned!

You know, Ludong Media has its own special effects company, in this case, it still invests 100 million?

It's a big deal, an investment of 100 million, without a box office of hundreds of millions, there is no way to return to the cost.

Is it possible to expect the bears to contribute so much to the box office?

Could it be that they are really going to make a big animated movie for all ages?

On the earth, the official data released by "The Return of the Great Sage" is an investment of 60 million, Lu Xiaosu's progress is a bit rushed, and his attitude towards special effects is very hungry, the same word can be summed up, that is, keep improving.

He had no choice but to throw money at it.

Anyone who has watched "The Return of the Great Sage" knows that due to limited funds, Sun Wukong rarely became powerful in the end, and as a result, a few special effects ended with only a few special effects, which was not enjoyable at all, causing many people to watch it several times.

Lu Xiaosu is ready to expand a little, anyway, he is a big dog.

To put it mildly, that is, he wants to use money to smash a big domestic animation movie into a tomorrow.
