"Angry Birds" landed on the Chinese market as scheduled on May 20. A simple mobile game could actually be on the big screen and it was played for more than an hour. I was curious.
The Angry Birds that appeared on Android phones a few years ago is just a game with simple operation and no plot. Without the modification of sound and color, the core of the game is: you take a bird, and then put a pig there, right Following the benchmark, throwing this bird at the pig is simple and easy, suitable for all ages, so once it was promoted, there was a wave of enthusiasm. The bird shape was commonly used in commercial use, and the topic was once a fashionable way for friends to talk and communicate at a gathering. word. Popularity is always popular, and the silence after the heat subsides is like a game fever, coming fast and going fast. For people who are tired of playing, it is just a smile to mention this topic now. Most people think that it is the past, but the later Star Wars special edition received more mobile game lovers' favor. The difficulty is increased, and the game design is better. The goal is to launch against the entire interstellar world. The key to successfully clearing the level is to be able to get on the orbit. This is not small, and it may be sucked in if you don’t play well. It is very difficult for many people to pass the level. Have fun. Later, game enthusiasts also found that the clearance strategy specified by Sony before the game came out was very useful. The great pleasure brought by the game playing and clearance was still more exciting and more addictive.

But no matter whether this game is simple or complicated, it is also game programming. There is no story, no plot, and even if it is, it is very simple. Then you have to put it on the screen and have a complete story that can tell more than an hour. It seems a bit weird, but the great directors of "Angry Birds" did it.

In the movie "The Angry Birds Movie", Jason Sudekis takes the lead role as the voice actor of Da Hong, who is the only irritable bird in the small town of Pinghe. It was assigned to the anger management class and met Chuck the fast yellow bird (voiced by Josh Gade) and the little black bird bomb (Danny McBride), which explodes when frightened or nervous. Dubbing). When the piglets led by Leonard (voiced by Bill Harder) came to the bird’s island and stole all the eggs, Da Hong had to summon the bird to retrieve the stolen eggs. This is the outline of the movie's story. The plot is also simple, straightforward, without any bugs, but because it is this simple story, everything becomes different because it is expressed with the right emotions. When the small animals swing on the big screen with their chubby bodies that make people squeeze a little, they are full of voices and emotions, vividly expressing human language and human thinking, the emotions of the audience will naturally come in and follow. The plot is logical for the ups and downs of the fate of these little birds. The dubbing has become the soul of the film, and how to find the anger, explosion, and uncontrollable emotions brought in by these dubbing actors, perform them, and complete them, the directors have spent a lot of effort.

First of all, Dahong, as the first protagonist, dubbed Jason. Every morning when he wakes up, there are always a bunch of things in Jason's world that make him angry. Pieces, piece by piece, from the person sleeping next to him, to his children, to supporting his family, his sisters and friends... One by one, his anger is full of value. of. Things are always ups and downs, high and low. Da Hong let him see the anger in his heart. He can pretend to be an action hero or yell for five hours to dispel the anger. The directors of the bird have successfully discovered these talents of Jason.

Chuck's (little yellow bird) situation is that his metabolism is too fast. He is a speed devil. In addition to its beautiful feather color, the directors used his unstoppable character to successfully attract Josh. Josh said, "Its mouth can't keep up with his thoughts, which is very interesting."

Danny, who plays the little black bird bomb, is a gunpowder keg in his life. He has explosive properties like an irritable bird. When he is angry, he will explode. He wants to improve this. He hopes to restrain his anger, and feels embarrassed that he can explode if he can't control his anger. The character that is highly compatible with the character made the directors of the bird discover him.


In addition to paying tribute to the game in the story, the visually beautiful designs of those animators also added a lot to the film. The smooth pictures, bright colors, and magnificent visual impact make people feel in an absolute fairy tale world. That period of bird launching itself to Little Pig Island and landing in slow motion, the full-angle three-dimensional structure display is absolutely visual shock!

From a successful game to an excellent animated film, "Angry Birds" has indeed done it. Good-looking, pleasantly surprised, and funny. The details in the film are particularly rich, and the posters of "Hotel California" can allow the audience to study after watching the film. After watching the movie, I also want to open the game again to experience "Angry Birds". The big movie is groundbreakingly combined with high-tech, playing with black technology and using augmented reality technology (AR), not only nested special-edition easter eggs that need to be unlocked with audio at the end of the film, players need to download "Angry Birds Rushing" Hit the fifth level, and then go to the cinema with your mobile phone. When you see the "Fat Red" bird code at the end of the film, you can quickly scan it. The film also fully realizes the linkage between movie and game. There are many AR games in "Angry Birds Rush". Players can choose to take photos with several birds to superimpose real scenes and virtual characters.

In fact, Angry Birds are now everywhere in our lives, including toys, books, drinks and even theme parks! The movie is an inevitable step, but to turn dreams into reality, these little bird screenwriters and directors have created a miracle.
