Look at the massive complaints and discussions from netizens on the Internet.
Watch the media report spontaneously.
Zhang Haiyang actually felt quite uncomfortable.
Why is the gap between people so big?
Before the release of "Ocean of Childlike Innocence", a lot of money was spent on publicity, but not many people paid attention or cared about it.
Although everyone is skeptical about "Wall-E" now, why are there so many people participating in it?
This is Li Yi's appeal.
For many people, they say they are not optimistic about Li Yi and that he is rich and willful, but they still express their support to some extent.
What's more, he directly said: "Usually only Director Dog's movies are criticized by Director Dog himself. This time I can finally complain directly about his movie. Just because of this, I have to watch it! It's a rare opportunity!" "
If you see someone else making a bad movie, you will probably be scolded, and the fans will probably call for a refund.
But even if they don't like Li Yi's movies, they are still willing to buy tickets to support them, and the purpose is just to see Li Yi's jokes.
What an appeal this is. It can even be said that the attitude of these fans towards Li Yi is somewhat similar to the attitude of fans of popular celebrities towards their idols. However, Li Yi's fans are more rational!
But for many anime fans, their reaction is another way.
"If even Li Yi's animated films cannot open the door to domestic animated films, then what hope do we have? We must support this!"
"Those who earn wages for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the snow! How many people in this era are willing to invest 1 billion to create domestic animated films? It is not easy for Li Yi!"
"Why are you all so pessimistic? I didn't see anything in the movie."
“Looking forward to the trailer!”
“Looking forward to the trailer!”
There is another difference between animated movies and live-action movies, especially animated movies with original themes like "Wall-E".
There is no reference in itself, so when people say they are looking forward to the trailer, they do not really want to know what kind of story it will tell, but they want to see the image of the characters and what the overall world is like.
Because unlike live-action movies, animated movies usually have a consistent style.
In other words, you will know the quality of the movie by watching the trailer, at least the technical quality, which can be seen through the trailer.
Therefore, if many people don’t have confidence, they really don’t have confidence, but their expectations are also genuine expectations.
After all, Li Yi has created too many miracles, although they are all in live-action movies.
But that’s a dog director after all!
Therefore, Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video came to our door very enthusiastically and proactively, hoping that Xingman could put the trailer of "WALL-E" online on their platform!
At the same time, we still promise to provide a lot of resources for promotion!
You see, sometimes, if you want to promote some movies online, you don’t have to beg your grandparents to get publicity resources.
But Li Yi’s movies really don’t need it.
There are so many discussions, so many voices, even if they are complaints and doubts, it can still be seen that many people are actually paying attention to this movie.
The trailer is bound to be a big traffic generator.
As an online video platform, they will definitely strive for any content that can attract traffic.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Li Yi's past record.
Since the movie is about to be released, Li Yi will naturally not refuse.
So, soon, Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video began to preview the first trailer of "WALL-E".
“Built with a huge investment of 1 billion!”
"Director Li Yi's work!"
"The first trailer of the domestic 3D animated film "Wall-E"!"
"A shocking debut is about to take place! Are you ready?"
...
The trailer hasn't even been released yet, but the special page has already been released.
"There is no one who can preview the trailer!"
"This is the first time I heard that a trailer really needs a preview!"
"My prediction for you?"
"The dog director still has the upper hand!"
“Although I’m not optimistic about it, I still want to see it!”
"What exactly is it like? Can you please stop getting excited?"
“After such a big battle, it’s just a trailer?”
No matter what movie fans and netizens think, this kind of treatment really makes countless movie directors envious and jealous!
The trailers are made to look like the feature film is about to come, and both Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video have given maximum promotional notices.
Thinking about the release of their movie, they tried to get such promotion resources, but they were all worried, but in the end, there was still no chance.
For these video platforms, some top promotion resources have never been something you can just buy if you want.
Well, the main reason is not enough money!
But Li Yi usually doesn't need to spend money to get these resources, so how can he not make others envious and jealous?
Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi are already a legal couple.
It can be said that the two of them became friends from the movie "The Gift of Room No. 7" by Li Yi, and they have been together until now.
They became husband and wife, and Li Yi became one of the few great directors in the country.
For this reason, whenever Li Yi's new film is released, the two of them will definitely not miss it.
For them, it is not just watching a movie, but also a feeling!
This time, Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi were not very optimistic about Li Yi's animated film.
But they still decided that when it is released, no matter what the quality is, they will go and see it.
No, after dinner, the two of them stayed in front of the computer. When "WALL-E" came online, they clicked in as soon as possible.
Thanks to the speed of the Internet in this era, you can basically see the screen directly without loading.
The first thing that appeared in front of Lu Xinguang and others was a shot of the Earth from the starry sky.
The color of the earth is no longer blue, but gray.
Subtitles appear:
"Seven hundred years later!"
"The earth has become a garbage planet!"
The camera quickly passed through the atmosphere and came to the sky above human cities.
You can vaguely see the tall buildings.
But when the picture is zoomed in, it is completely deserted!
What replaced it was a giant garbage pile made of metal garbage cubes stacked up as high as a tall building!
"Wow, this picture is great!" Lu Xinguang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Then the protagonist of the movie, the robot WALL-E, appeared!
A completely different robot than what Lu Xinguang or other movie fans imagined appeared in the picture.
Track wheels serve as feet, two periscopes serve as eyes, and it has two hydraulic control arms...
It is skillfully "swallowing" garbage, then putting it into its cube-like belly, pressing it into a cube, and then using its hydraulically pressed hands, it carries the cubed pieces of garbage and piles them on the garbage mountain!
The screen switched, and this strange-looking robot rolled forward and crushed a cockroach.
What surprised and endeared both Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi was that this robot, which clearly had no "face" but only "eyes", could actually make very anthropomorphic movements.
It covers its non-existent "mouth" with both hands, and its two special "eyes" obviously don't have any eyes, but they just give people a very special anthropomorphic feeling.
People immediately understand his mood and thoughts at this time!
It gives people an extremely vivid feeling. It can even be said that it makes people feel better and more comfortable than robots with anthropomorphic images!
This expression was something they had never seen before.
