This year's National Day is special. The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day collide, so the holiday is longer than before.
However, for journalists who cover the entertainment industry, especially those who pay attention to the stars and the sea, today is obviously no day off.
Because something big happened today.
How big is it?
If Jiang Yan had to describe it, it would be similar to when J20 was first exposed.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the official website of Star Ocean released the video link to the first trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" as scheduled.
At the same time, link sharing through the QQ window mode is also happening across the country.
So soon, the first preview trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" was officially released to the world in front of the majority of netizens.
After countless netizens clicked in, they entered a video website called "Youtu".
Anyone who knows anything knows that this is Jiang Yan’s replica of “Youtube” in the United States.
This is indeed the case, but "Youtu" is still in the testing stage, and the first "Kung Fu Panda" trailer is the test target.
Without talking about the technical details in advance, let’s return to the trailer itself.
When reporters followed the instructions and clicked on the video, their first reaction was: This video is so clear!
Then there was a strong visual impact.
Most of the reporters are knowledgeable and have a certain ability to distinguish between animation quality and production difficulty.
But "Kung Fu Panda"...how to say it?
All I can say is: This is great!
The first scene of the 50-second trailer is a palace on a mountaintop shrouded in clouds and mist.
The three-dimensional imaging brought by digital technology, the perfect and gorgeous art style, and the strong Chinese style.
Just based on the opening scene, no one can say that "Kung Fu Panda" doesn't care.
However, the scene that appeared next could no longer be summarized by just "careful".
Immediately afterwards, animals showing kung fu appeared in the video.
A monkey using monkey fist, a red-crowned crane wearing a bamboo hat using crane fist, a mantis, a snake and a tiger.
Each animal represents a type of boxing.
From the perspective of domestic people, this is easy to understand without thinking.
The scene continues, after five characters with great kung fu skills appear, "Panda" appears.
As a result, the appearance style of the panda is completely different from others.
Others are as handsome as they want, but the panda is stealing food! And it is eating it on the beam of the house with its fork split open! There is also a raccoon staring at it in amazement?
After being discovered, the panda and raccoon looked at each other awkwardly for a second, and then said weakly: "Don't tell the monkey."
This made all the audience laugh.
Then the title "Kung Fu Panda" appeared.
This ends the 50-second preview trailer.
But the shock to the audience was far from over.
At this moment, everyone is recalling that every detail of the plot, animations, characters, etc., seems to far exceed domestic standards and even exceed Hollywood standards.
How do you describe that feeling?
That is: watch it again!
Then after waiting more than ten times, everyone’s mood can be described in one sentence: Is this really a domestic animation?!
This feeling was actually easy to understand in 2001.
You must know that when Hollywood's "Toy Story" came out in 1995, the biggest opinion of countless domestic industry insiders was that it was incomparable, completely incomparable.
At that time, a senior person in the industry said: In terms of technology alone, it will take at least 20 years for our country to catch up!
After all, when everyone thought that animation was just hand-drawn two-dimensional graphics, a three-dimensional digital animation suddenly appeared in the United States, and it was still so lifelike. This was simply a subversion of three views. This was no less than the Gulf War's impact on our country.
The army was shocked.
The huge gap in the film industry makes everyone feel that the technology of the United States and the United States has become so powerful that it is impossible to catch up in a short period of time, so they can only admire the most high-end technology. As for surpassing it, they can't even think about it.
It's a bold enough idea to catch up.
This feeling is the difference between third-generation aircraft and fifth-generation aircraft in fighter jets.
Watching the old and American F22 flying in the sky, countless military fans drooled and sighed: If they can see that our country can build one of their own in their lifetime, they will die without regrets.
As a result, at this time, a domestic company suddenly launched a domestically produced fifth-generation aircraft that is comparable to the world's most powerful fighter jets. All of a sudden, countless military fans can still sleep?
The same goes for "Kung Fu Panda", so for a time, movie fans, animation practitioners, people in the film industry, and countless people who were not related to it all turned their attention to the stars and the sea.
Not only that, the emergence of the "Youtu" video website has also attracted the attention of domestic Internet related people and related technical personnel.
Then everyone discovered that the technical level of "Youtu" is also on par with Lao Mei, and Lao Mei's online video earning seems to have been invented first by Jiang Yan.
For a time, Jiang Yan and Xingchenhai also became the focus of the domestic science and technology circle.
Countless people paid attention to it, and the official website of Xingchenhai almost collapsed.
Compared with the excitement at home, people abroad are relatively calm.
After the 50-second trailer for "Kung Fu Panda" came out, Americans immediately reported that the situation was similar to what Jiang Yan expected, that is, more people paid attention to the movie itself than to the technology.
Jiang Yan thinks this is enough, after all, this is a movie.
But even so, the number of views on the official website of Xingchenhai Overseas and "youtube" has broken the record. After all, no one can refuse the panda.
Regarding the sensation caused by "Kung Fu Panda", Jiang Yan had already planned for it.
Therefore, after the trailer was released, Wu Yong immediately announced the news of holding a press conference.
However, Wu Yong will only release a small part of the information about "Kung Fu Panda".
The current overall progress of "Kung Fu Panda" is only about 60%, and it is still at least half a year before the film is released.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Jiang Yan is not in a hurry at all. The IP has been taken down anyway, so just take your time.
As for publicity, Jiang Yan also followed the model of "Black Myth Wukong", releasing a new trailer every six months to stimulate the Internet, and then doing the same offline, and from time to time, he released a new trailer to join the dubbing team. This is enough
Already.
Speaking of dubbing, Liu Qianqian acted coquettishly again:
"Jiang Yan, which one should I match? Are there any rabbits?"
Jiang Yan was very helpless. "Kung Fu Panda" had a huge destructive power on children and girls. Liu Qianqian was naturally not immune to it, so after the trailer came out, she called to ask for dubbing. This was not enough. Taking advantage of Jiang Yan's
She was in Magic City now, and she was also in Magic City, so she skipped her physical education class in Magic City and came to the scene to act like a baby.
In this regard, Jiang Yan can only turn on the big pie mode:
"You first learn your lines well. If you meet the standard, "Kung Fu Panda" will give you a small role to practice. If you can get excellent, next time I will make an animated movie with a bunny as the protagonist, and you will play the protagonist. How about it?
"
Of course Jiang Yan was talking about "Zootopia", and although Liu Qianqian didn't know it, she got a big promise and immediately jumped up with joy.
"Don't jump. If your sunglasses fall off, we will be exposed!"
Jiang Yan quickly stopped him, and Liu Qianqian obediently continued to be a passerby.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan, Liu Qianqian, Quan Zhixian and others arrived at the Star Cinema on Nanjing Road in the Magic City.
This year’s National Day holiday is longer than usual, which also allows more movie fans to have time to go to the cinema.
So far, among the top ten domestic box office rankings, "Pearl Harbor", which was released in August, ranks first. It has already achieved a box office of 100 million, becoming the fourth Hollywood blockbuster to exceed 100 million in the mainland.
"Shaolin Soccer", which was released at the same time, ranked second with a box office of 95 million.
The two blockbusters were released in August, and both achieved very good results, which to a certain extent can greatly stimulate movie fans' enthusiasm for watching movies.
This is also true. According to the report submitted by Star Cinema, the number of moviegoers in August and September was about 15% more than last year.
Of course, this data can only be used as a reference, because Xingchen Cinema Line did not open last year, and the data used now is only the old data of the acquired theaters, which may not be correct.
However, Jiang Yan knew that this data should be quite different.
The domestic film market has indeed begun to recover since this year. If nothing unexpected happens, the total box office this year will indeed increase by 12-15% compared to last year, and this number will be maintained almost every year in the future.
When the market environment is good, theater competition becomes fierce.
But for Xingchenhai, this is not a problem at all.
Take the various theaters in the Magic City as an example. Although the Xingchen Cinema Line has just opened less than three months ago, the chain-style decoration of the Xingchen Cinema Line, which comes from the United States and looks high-end and western-style, has made the Xingchen Cinema Line the current
The first choice for the citizens of Magic City.
And in addition to these superficial things, the branch-style theater planning, high-end soft sofa seats, and comfortable and fidelity audio-visual experience have also made many senior movie fans regard Xingchen Cinema as the first choice for watching movies.
According to the data submitted by the theater manager, the various business data of Xingchen Cinema in Magic City are currently much better than expected. If this trend continues, Magic City Cinema will return its capital about 6 months earlier than originally planned.
, that is to say, the capital will be recovered and profit will be achieved by the middle of next year.
Jiang Yan was naturally very satisfied with this, which was worthy of him spending so much financial and material resources to send people to the United States for training.
Having said that, today is the first day of holiday, and during the prime time in the evening, the passenger flow in the theater has also reached a peak.
Jiang Yan wore sunglasses and swaggered around inspecting fire protection and other equipment accompanied by theater managers and others.
During this period, no one recognized who he was, except for the barrier of sunglasses, and the reminder that he was now close to 200 pounds was the best disguise.
Soon a group of people came to the middle of Hall 1 and sat down quietly. Hall 1 of Xingchen Cinema on Nanjing Road in the Magic City is the largest and can accommodate about 500 people. This size will definitely be divided into separate rooms in the future, but in this era
Just enough.
When we returned to Hall 1, the theater was already full of people.
In addition to movie fans, these people also include many journalists.
The reporters came here to participate in the road show of "A Better Man" in Shanghai, which means that Wu Jing, A Feng and the others will appear on stage in a few minutes.
"A Better Man" had its premiere in Beijing at 7 o'clock last night. The reviews from the media today were pretty good, and the one with the highest review was naturally Wu Jing.
Wu Jing played a villain for the first time, and ended up playing the villain as the protagonist. This made many film critics feel that Wu Jing's acting skills seemed to be underestimated.
Fans are thinking that this must be Jiang Yan's ingenuity, after all, the screenwriter of the film is Wu Jing's buddy Jiang Yan.
These are all jokes and do not affect the movie, so Ah Feng, Edison Xi and the others were not criticized.
Because in addition to the plot being pretty good, it was the first time for Guan Xi, A Feng and others to try such an intense fight scene as "little fresh meat", and they also performed with all their might, and the effect they showed was not embarrassing at all, and both the critics and the public were disappointed.
Fortunately, I won't be too harsh on them. Even because of such a desperate performance, Ah Feng, Edison Xi and the others have gained a lot of fans. Regarding this, Jiang Yan is more willing to believe that those are "face fans" and they are all crown princes.
Damn, Guan Xi is indeed handsome after all...
"Oppa, how much box office do you think this movie will have?"
At this time, Quan Zhixian, who was sitting on his left, started asking questions again.
"My goal is not less than 25 million." Jiang Yan replied calmly.
25 million, ranking fifth among the top ten box office lists in mainland China this year, is an impressive achievement.
"What about our movie?"
Quan Zhixian continued to ask, but her voice was much lower. The whisper-like questioning was obviously very intimate, and in the intimacy, there was a sense of eagerness to try out, similar to an affair.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Yan knows that this is because Zheng Xuntuo is sitting on the other side of Jun Jixian.
The reason why Quan Ji-hyun is like this is naturally because she has been poisoned.
On the second day of her stay in Hengdian, Jun Ji-hyun was invited by Jiang Yan to shoot a music video. Which actress would refuse Jiang Yan's MV? So Jun Ji-hyun fell into the trap - right under Zheng Xuntuo's nose - without anyone noticing.
After shooting the MV in one day, Jun Ji-hyun and Jung Hoon-tao returned to China. Now, after suffering in South Korea for two weeks, Jun Ji-hyun came to China again before the movie started and reunited with Jiang Yan. The joy in her heart is overwhelming.
Can't hold it down.
But she also knows that she cannot be impulsive, so now she can only interact with Jiang Yan as a curious baby in order to subtly influence Jiang Yan.
In response to this, Jiang Yan naturally said that he didn't understand anything and just replied: "Of course I hope the more the better, right, Xiao Zheng?"
Zheng Xuntuo on the other side saw Jiang Yan suddenly calling him. Although he didn't know why, he responded promptly: "Ah, yes, that's right."
Seeing this, Quan Zhixian bit her lip, looked at Jiang Yan and swore in her heart, "One day, you will be taken down by me..." Then she sat upright and continued watching the movie.
Quan Zhixian stopped, and Liu Qianqian, who was also wearing sunglasses and was sitting on the right side of Jiang Yan, started acting like a monster again.
Fortunately, after Jiang Yan slapped away Liu Qianqian's hand that poked the fat on his face for the twentieth time, Liu Qianqian finally became honest.
Soon, following the host's introduction, Wu Jing and other main creators appeared amidst applause.
The rest of the session went smoothly, but when fans asked why the screenwriter Jiang Yan was not here, Wu Jing glanced meaningfully at the audience and said: "He has just finished gaining weight. He said that in order not to let everyone's heart wander.
Once the image of the male god is shattered, he will stop coming."
These words caused Jiang Yan in the audience to collapse on the spot.
Fortunately, the audience in front and behind did not understand Wu Jing's eyes, and Jiang Yan escaped.
But this is not without its benefits. At least the word "male god" became an official vocabulary the next day.
What’s interesting is that in the first Tianya Domestic Entertainment Male God Selection in 2001 organized by boring netizens, Jiang Yan actually lost. The reason is that the male god cannot be a fat man...
