"Since the special effects of "Pacific Rim", I was once again shocked by the breakthrough of domestic animation technology"
"From the perspective of kung fu films, there is not much new in the plot, but from the perspective of domestic 3D animation, you can see the hard work of the production team every second, and I am moved and proud of it"
"When I saw "Monster Power Company" and "Ice Age" earlier, I imagined that within ten years, we could make such an animation, friends said that I was a fool and a dream, not to mention ten years, twenty years may not be able to do it, but now, seeing the dust scattered with sunlight, the hair that trembles with the movement, I can't tell whether it is a real shot or an animated water wave. The answer is already very clear, not twenty years, not ten years, but five years, more precisely, as early as 2002, when Lu Ping'an came up with this panda idea, we were already on par with the world"
"From the perspective of kung fu movies, the plot is actually not much new, but it can still be seen that Xingchen has achieved the most perfect balance between plot and effect"
"The plot is actually really good, what I want to say is that there are a few lines in it that are really well said. It can also be said to be some of the feelings when watching the film, such as Daddy Duck is absolutely right, why do we struggle with the crowd to fight for things that don't belong to us? Find your place, everyone is born with value! Need to discover!
The words of the turtle real person are the most classic, why not grasp the present? That's all that matters."
"From "Kung Fu Panda", I can see the problem of education, we are not kung fu pandas, we are better than kung fu pandas."
"Only I think the wolf is talking about a small day?"
"I didn't expect the animals to add martial arts, the fight would be so pleasing to the eye, the animals made moves, the movements were fast and dazzling, and the one-second shot was stuffed into at least half a minute of moves"
"I have always felt that Lu Ping'an's movies rarely have a rustic atmosphere, but this time it is still the same, even if this is an animated film, the production technology is the world's top, and the elements that show my Shenzhou culture make me wet my eyes, and the martial arts world that is flying away can definitely be described as trendy and cool."
The next day, a review of Kung Fu Panda came out.
Since then, there has been no longer a lament in this world that "hateful Chinese people can't make such cartoons".
In terms of rating, the current score of Douban has reached 8.6.
Most are still focused on technology.
The second is the plot and graphics.
In fact, if it's just the plot, this film has a maximum of 8 points.
The subject matter is not new, and the plot is relatively simple.
But with the blessing of technology, everything is different.
This is a domestic feeling.
At this time, the majority of fans also saw all kinds of reports and film reviews.
Then they all went to the theater.
This is followed by an hour and a half of amazement tours.
After leaving the theater, he began to call friends to enjoy this "highest peak of domestic animation".
It's just that this kind of popularity and admiration is not particularly high in the eyes of some people.
At present, it seems that it is still behind the first line of "Pacific Rim".
The movie-watching frenzy set off by "Huantai" in China is comparable to "Transformers".
Even so, the international box office of "Huantai" is currently less than 500 million.
So Lu Ping'an said that the future box office of "Kung Fu Panda" will be at least on par with "Huantai"?
Many people are skeptical.
It's just that they don't know.
In fact, it can really reflect the future international viewing effect of "Kung Fu Panda".
In fact, you can't watch the reactions of those adults in China after watching the movie.
It's about the reaction of the teenagers and children after watching the movie.
Adults think a lot.
Kung fu and character images are actually not particularly attractive to everyone.
But children and teenagers are different.
They haven't been baptized by so many kung fu films.
At the same time, he is full of yearning for the element of kung fu.
It's the same as foreigners.
Plus cute pandas and other animals.
and the depth of the plot that is not naïve, but just right for them.
There are also unparalleled action shots.
Combined, the attraction is simply off the charts.
This can be seen from the sales of animal dolls sold in various stores of the Planet Cinema Line that day.
This time, the planetary cinema is free for children under 1.3 meters, but they need to be accompanied by parents.
Then it attracted many parents to take advantage of the summer vacation to go to the cinema.
Then after watching the movie, the children's eyes lit up, and when they saw those dolls, they began to splash and roll.
I want Po!
I want Tigress!
I want a turtle real person
After getting the doll, start chanting the move: Infinite Flower Fingers! Point point! Ada.
All the works that are very burning and trendy will always be the most popular among children.
Just like when "Fengyun" was broadcast, the shouts of "blood drinking crazy knife" resounded all over the country.
It's about the same this time.
The souls of the teenagers awaken again.
So the surrounding area was a big hit.
Then I went home and showed off in front of my friends, so the next day, another parent was pulled into the cinema by their children.
Of course, the ones who can best reflect the future international prospects are still the old and foreign filmmakers in China.
On the evening of the 2nd, after Lu Ping'an ended the animation technology sharing meeting, Hu Qingquan brought good news.
"How?"
"That's it!"
Hu Qingquan smiled and took out a stack of contracts, and then talked about the results.
To put it simply, Kung Fu Panda will eventually sign distribution agreements with a total of 166 companies in 72 countries and regions around the world.
It will be released around the world from August and is expected to last for at least three months.
Many of these distribution agreements have already been finalized, and the difficult thing is the dozens of large companies that came to the scene yesterday.
And now.
Panda + Kung Fu, plus the theme is universal, positive, and has no obvious ideological propaganda.
Coupled with the fact that it is directed by an international director, and the production quality is extremely good.
In this wave, the buyout release price of "Kung Fu Panda" came directly to the early 52 million.
And that's not counting North America, the world's largest market.
"It's a record!"
Lu Ping'an was very happy.
The distribution income of 52 million is the highest number among all the movies currently in Xingchen.
In this way, the investment of the Xingchen animation team in the past five years has all been returned.
For the studios, if you do the math, the global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" is about $600 million, minus North America and East Asia and other account-sharing regions, and the rest will be about $300 million.
The filmmaker will take about 30% of the gross profit, and it will definitely be no problem to make money, and maybe it can make more, because the global box office this time may be higher than the original time and space.
So in fact, it can be sold higher.
"Yes, we still underestimated the international popularity of kung fu themes."
Hu Qingquan couldn't help but sigh.
If you want to say that the best selling film in Chinese movies, it is actually a kung fu movie.
It's just that Lu Ping'an has never filmed this subject for a long time, so there is indeed a gap between the actual negotiation and the earlier investigation.
But overall, everyone is actually very satisfied.
Because first, the filmmakers have their own views on the future market prospects, and they will not use 600 million to calculate if Lu Ping'an says 600 million.
Plus, it's not a one-off deal after all.
Because this time it's not just about film distribution.
There will also be more derivative cooperation projects in the surrounding area.
Dubbing, soundtrack, merchandise and other businesses are keeping up with each other, and we are working hard to run this project well.
When the next episode of the series comes out, that's when it really makes a lot of money.
With a deep-rooted IP fan base, you will be able to do more in the future.
So the next step is to see how far this panda can go. (End of chapter)
