We are once again at the turning point of the film industry

The trailers played before the start of the film, without exception, are the stories that will be released in 3D theaters: Toy Story 3, the originator of 3D animation, the legend of the guardian, and the end of the monster history.

Then the 3D theater version of the kid fishing on the new moon of DreamWorks appeared. This was the only time in my memory. The exciting theater experience when it was marked by the film factory.

Because I realized that another rise in the film industry, which has been diverted by TV media such as serials and reality shows for many years, and has been piracy for many years (and I can’t ask for it), is about to happen.

The audience will return to this dark cave, without going to the toilet, or on the phone, sitting for ninety minutes seriously, to experience humbleness, sympathy, emotional conflict, fear, moving, sadness, etc. They are outside this cave Try to avoid and escape the state of life. And it's still at my own expense.

Thanks to the global audience for their pursuit of Avatar. Only then did investors in the world film be able to spend their money on Fuxing Cinema.

I'm so fucking excited.



First,
a 90-minute film has to use narration to introduce the time, place, and cultural background of the characters at the beginning. These two filmmakers are really approachable.

Among the sturdy and martial Viking tribe, (the sheep are very Q) Hiccup, as an alternative with zero dragon slaying ability, has become the humble and angry protagonist in the film. The dream is to improve social status, even romantically with the hot and hot A girl. There is only one way, like others, to slay dragons.

Then the unquestionable direction of the story is: how Hiccup achieved his goal with his weak body.

Probably, in the same way that Kung Fu Panda achieves its goals with its plump body: by knowing what it can do.



Animation directors are always struggling with the same theme: for example, the director of the Superman Agents, Brad Bird, in the two Pixar blockbusters of Magic Mouse Chef, the protagonist from suffering to success is the same thing: pursuing dreams alone will lose alone, and unity The power of the family to pursue dreams will be a win-win situation.

The theme in "Kung Fu Panda" is to believe that I am so innate to be so useful-exactly the theme of the two directors of the film in Disney's "Mulan" in 1998-how I, a humble little person, can realize my wishes.

(At the same time, they stole the theme of Brad Bird to make the film more suitable for family viewing)

So the "Mulan" of that year has made Hiccup today. With their humor and sincere character stories, they have made a classic commercial film.

Without the extensive and profound Chinese culture in "Kung Fu Panda" and "Mulan", how did the two directors attract the audience?

——The extreme martial arts of the Vikings
——Flying
——A violent scene with fire-breathing monsters
——Animal World

2.

No matter how exciting the flight is, its vitality is not the exciting speed or the background of crazy changes. The roller coaster does not take more than five minutes, because it takes too long to adapt to the stimulation of the senses.

The vitality of flight comes from the enlightenment of those who fly.

If Miyazaki has read this passage, he will touch his beard and say, "Why are there no young people in Japan to take my class?"

Flying is Miyazaki's factory symbol; the acquaintance between Chihiro and Bailong he portrayed in flight can guide every animation director. The quality of this scene comes from the meaning of flight to the participants.

For hiccup-flying gave him the freedom to pursue his dreams, and it also marked the establishment of a relationship between the owner and the mount with toothless (can it be translated into ....'无牙'?).

Hiccup uses a Da Vinci-style device to save the toothless tail, and when using the pedals to shift gears flexibly, it is undoubtedly hinting to the audience the freedom they felt when driving for the first time.

I hope that there will be no more silly x. After watching the avatar, the director still thinks that as long as it flies, it will look good. Avatar also makes you feel that flying brings new enlightenment to the protagonist through the interaction between humans and beasts.



three,

This toothless dragon was raised in our family. His name is Rice Bucket.

Of course, our rice bucket is just a cat. There is no cool wingspan and F117-style flying sound effects, so it can't become a weapon of mass destruction that children will like.

The director suspected that he would buy cat meat as a leader. In order to win the favor of children and a large number of mm, he turned the "dragon" into a chinchilla.


4. The

film establishes a set of virtual biology subjects, the flying dragon class of reptiles, which lists all kinds of fantasy creatures that can be cute and happy, but can be turned into poultry by human beings in essence.

In addition to the final boss, it is the gozzila truth obtained from Japan. As the source of evil, he has the ugliest appearance and the strongest attack power. Can persuade the audience (many of them are children) that as long as it is eliminated, the mutual respect and love of all kinds of species in the world will immediately become a reality.

I don’t know if these kids still believe it more than ten years later, as long as the weirdness in the news is eliminated, the world will be peaceful.


The story is entertaining, but it always makes people feel a little rushed, as if they are rushing to the end. Maybe the good times pass too fast, and I always hope that it can pass more slowly. Even in the time of daydreaming.
