Chapter 373 "Kung Fu Panda 2"

In May and June of this year, the domestic market was really decimated by Hollywood.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Guan Yunchang" are simply unstoppable.

The first "Thor" released grossed 90 million at the box office.

"Fast and Furious 5" has 250 million, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" has collected 300 million in mainland China as of May 31, and the daily growth is still gratifying, and it is heading towards 400 million.

Panda Abao grossed 54 million on its first day on Saturday, exceeded 300 million in 9 days, and exceeded 400 million in two weeks.

The reputation of "Guan Yunchang" was already bad. Later, it was changed to promote Jiang Wen. Zhen Zizi was embarrassed to say that she played Guan Yu. In the end, it was released with a dismal 150 million.

You know, the production and publicity cost of "Guan Yunchang" was as high as 250 million, and Guang Zhen's salary alone reached 20 million.

The achievement of 150 million can be said to be a total loss.

The popularity of "Kung Fu Panda 2" has attracted the attention of the audience and the industry.

Never before has an animated film made such a splash in the domestic market, so the audience has been asking: "Where are our animated films?"

"It's obviously all Chinese elements, why can't we make it?"

It would be good if there was such vigilance and criticism, at least it would have a certain spurring effect on domestic animation.

But the bad thing is that some people use the topic to their advantage.

An artist surnamed Zhao published articles in newspapers and on Weibo to boycott "Kung Fu Panda 2": "My goal in boycotting "Kung Fu Panda 2" is to alert people to cultural invasion and reduce its box office! I vow to make "Kung Fu Panda 2"

"The box office is halved! We need to give the film studio a half discount on their income!"

This statement was actually affirmed by a well-known professor at Peking University: "Hollywood has taken away China's symbols and continues to conquer you with your symbols."

It doesn't take DreamWorks or Cheng Yu'an to take action. Anyone who has watched "Kung Fu Panda" will know that these two are sensationalizing.

Cheng Yu'an was still busy day and night on the crew of "A League of Thieves" and couldn't pay attention to the arguments in the outside world.

Assistant Xiao Zheng told him about this and asked him if he wanted to respond.

Cheng Yuan didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing. He resisted? Can he resist?

But DreamWorks still wants Cheng Yu'an to say something. This artist surnamed Zhao has been on the stage since the first part of "Kung Fu Panda" and said he would boycott it. Now he has come out again. DreamWorks is afraid that he will affect the box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2".

So Cheng Yuan said a few words on Weibo:

"As a mass media, movies certainly allow anyone to express their opinions. Whether you like it or not, it's your own opinion."

"I recently heard that two teachers wanted to boycott "Kung Fu Panda". I originally thought that if you don't like the movie, just don't watch it. Cinemas are free to come and go."

"But after seeing this teacher's banner of "cultural invasion," I realized that someone was using the banner of nationalism to cover up their cultural inferiority."

"If you can't watch "Kung Fu Panda" and think it is a cultural invasion, then you should refuse to watch any movie. Because the movie itself is imported, if you take any domestic movie, I can tell the audio-visual language it uses

In which Western movie did it appear first?"

"Even the oil paintings for which this artist teacher is famous are also a 'cultural invasion' from the West."

"I always remember what my teacher, Professor Hou Kenming, taught me. He said, don't take yourself too seriously. You just make movies. Don't think you are smarter than others. So I never express opinions on things other than movies.

, because I don’t understand.”

"This teacher may not know that one of the conditions for my country's accession to the WTO is the opening of the film market. In recent years, we have lost almost all of our WTO lawsuits regarding the opening of the film market. The China-US Film Agreement is about to expire, and domestic productions The further opening up of the film market is the general trend. Anyone who calls for a boycott of Hollywood under the banner of nationalism at this time is either stupid or bad."

Cheng Yu'an's external image has always been very positive, and he is the image of a handsome young man.

"Either stupid or bad" is probably the most hated thing Cheng Yu'an can say in the eyes of the audience.

Cheng Yu'an's voice immediately made the fans who had always supported him become excited.

Then there were movie fans who dug into this artist’s background.

Born in classical oil painting, he is well-known in the contemporary painting world, but then he turned to performance art.

Attempting to personally kidnap the image of the national treasure panda.

In 2007, a panda fashion show was held at China International Fashion Week, using thirty-three sets of panda suits to represent many representative figures in Chinese society: migrant workers, young ladies, groupies, beggars, mistresses, corrupt officials, etc.

She became famous for a while and was criticized for vulgarizing the fashion show.

In 2009, he moved this fashion show to Paris.

As a result, he was labeled as "traitor and insult to China".

The Industrial and Commercial Administration also rejected his panda trademark application.

There is no such thing as 500,000 yuan yet. If future generations of netizens find out about this situation, they will be scolded for 500,000 yuan.

Now that the old man has been exposed, it will be easier to deal with:

"I asked him why he didn't boycott other movies but just "Kung Fu Panda". It turns out that it's all business."

"DreamWorks has done such a good job filming Panda, and the film has spread wider than its fashion show. Didn't DreamWorks and Director Cheng make it clear that they are blocking other people's ways of making money?" Someone got angry.

"Every time I encounter this kind of thing, I will think of the line in "Big Shot": 'Be unique and sensational.'"

"Others have used kung fu and pandas to make good things. We should reflect and criticize ourselves, instead of turning a blind eye like ostriches burying their heads in the sand. We should catch up instead of shutting them out. This is the real thing.

cultural confidence!”

The public was so angry that the artist did not dare to speak out.

Because no matter what he says, fans will label him as "You are only anxious when others block your way to make money."

Because of this online scolding war, the performance of "Kung Fu Panda 2" reached a climax. By mid-June, "Kung Fu Panda 2" exceeded 400 million in 18 days after its release, temporarily ranking as the annual champion in 11 years.

The runner-up was "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", which together exceeded 400 million in box office.

His girlfriend called and scolded Cheng Yuan: "Don't quarrel with people online." Liu Yifei is the kind of person who doesn't respond.

"I didn't argue with him, I didn't even say bad words." Cheng Yu'an still obeyed his girlfriend in this regard, "Where are you? Why are you so noisy."

"I'm backstage at "Base Camp", recording "Those Years" today."

I just heard a voice calling from the other end of the phone: "Yifei, it's your turn."

"Hey, here we are. Let me tell you something. The program team may connect you later. Please explain it carefully."

Variety shows have scripts. Don’t believe any surprise connections. They are all notified in advance.

"Okay, what questions will they ask me?"
