Chapter 300 Derivative Development
"White Pigeon Island" is definitely Shangmei Factory's most breakthrough work.
It definitely refers to EVA. The plot tells the story of the struggle between humans and aliens. It contains a lot of thoughts on human nature, race, and civilization. Of course, in the end, this work was banned.
During the cosmic war, pacifist aliens took refuge on the earth, and then a group of imperialist aliens came to colonize the earth. So the righteous and peace-loving earthlings and aliens drove away the invaders...
It seems very suitable for all ages, but in fact it is not the case!
"White Pigeon Island" contains a lot of darkness in the adult world, such as official protection, abuse of privileges and racial discrimination. Even the policy of aggression has become very direct: aliens invade Baige Island and use human spies to prop up a puppet regime and provoke humankind.
Internal fratricide…
The beginning of the story still shows a peaceful scene until the arrival of aliens. On the pretext of looking for their traitors hidden among humans, they provoke a war between humans and let them kill each other. They act as a savior.
gain, and attempt to control the human spirit.
Forced by the aliens' violent suppression, many people reported their neighbors.
Faced with such a predicament, the protagonist with super powers, young Tianwang, endured the humiliation and went to collect the seven elements to deal with aliens. During this period, he suffered soul and physical torture, and finally led his partners to fight bravely against the evil forces.
He rebuilt human dignity at the cost of his own life!
The heroine Chime's character is completely copied from the heroine Julia in "1984" - her resistance to the world, self-indulgence and indulgence are all very similar to Julia...
The male protagonist... has been called a "devil" by his peers since he was a child because of his "superpowers". He has been ridiculed and likes to stay away from people.
Fortunately, he has a grandfather, who told him: Don't alienate yourself from everyone, even if everyone doesn't understand you, time will prove everything.
This sentence also confirmed his various experiences since then.
This concept is also the firm thought that supports him as he moves forward, helping him always understand his position. Even if he is deeply disappointed with mankind, he still chooses to fight to save mankind.
Among the supporting characters, there is a character named Meng Da. This character can be described as pitiful and hateful. He was a patriot at first, but then he chose to rebel and surrender to the enemy after witnessing the power of aliens and the lack of technology compared to others. This is very sad.
Like Wang Zhaoming...
In "White Pigeon Island", you can see that humans can unite to fight against aliens in order to survive, but there will also be internal fighting. There are battles of wits and courage between aliens and humans, and there are also unilateral massacres and exploits.
, of course there is oppression and resistance, there is submission and spies, there is also rise and companionship...
The most important thing is the ending, the protagonists are all wiped out!
Quite normal, the tragic scene in which all the protagonists die, just proves the cruelty of war.
…which is why it’s not very popular!
Damn it, the main character is dead, what a shame?
Of course, the picture is too crude and most of the characters have foreign faces, which is also one of the reasons!
In fact, there have been many excellent works in domestic animation. The excellence mentioned here does not mean how good the animation quality is or how beautiful the characters are, but the depth of the works.
"Flowers in the Mirror" tells the story of the scholar Tang Ao who failed in the imperial examination during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty. At the invitation of his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyang, he went to sea with the fleet to do business and visited the country of gentlemen, the country of daughters, the country of adults, the country of two faces and other folk customs.
Stories from different countries.
Different countries have their own customs and customs, which reflect the reality and darkness of many societies. Most importantly, the irony is too strong!
This work was also banned for this reason...
Those who have read it will probably not forget the lines in it: How many years can one live? How many troubles can one have in one life? After wandering all over the world, I realized that cutting off the water with a knife would lead to more joy!
How many years can one live? How many difficulties should there be in this life? Only when there is no limit to the sky and the sky can one realize that drinking to drown one's sorrows is even more troublesome!
"The Rubik's Cube Mansion" has a similar experience.
The most regrettable thing is probably "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" - the literary consultant is Yu Hua and the art consultant is Han Meilin!
Then parents complained and the broadcast was canceled...
——There are a lot of bloody fighting scenes and obscene language. I am afraid that it will have a negative impact on my children, so I request that this animation be stopped.
Also, why did Shanghai Film Studio never produce any good works after "Baolian Lantern"?
This is mainly because around 2000, Shangmei Factory and CCTV Animation Department were identified as two backbone animation bases, one in the south and one in the north.
Although they are both the backbone bases, the CCTV Animation Department and Shangmei Factory receive completely different treatment.
As an enterprise, Shangmei Factory is responsible for its own profits and losses, while the CCTV Animation Department receives state funds to support its production of cartoons and enjoys the broadcast platform of CCTV.
CCTV Animation Department, with the support of state funds, produced "The Dreamer", "Journey to the West", and later "The Legend of Nezha", "Little Tiger Returns Home", "Go Boy", and even "The Legend of Qin and Han Dynasties",
The latter is a joint production…
I also tried a movie, "The New Big-headed Son and the Little-Headed Dad", which grossed more than 40 million yuan at the box office...
But it's of no use, because the cartoons produced by CCTV's animation department are usually broadcast on children's channels, and the revenue is guaranteed during droughts and floods. A common problem with the system is that it has no enterprising spirit...
Because of monopoly!
But private enterprises are different, especially those making animated films, which have to recover their costs through the market...
How to impress the market?
Excellent product!
…
In the original time and space, "The Return of the Great Sage" began to make a comeback three days later, seizing the single-day box office championship;
On the seventh day of release, "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" were released...
On the 20th day of release, "Lost in the City" and "Ma Zhen: Yang Guifei" were released...
Even so, "The Return of the Great Sage" still relied on its word-of-mouth advantage to overtake a number of films such as "Pancake Man" and "Ma Zhen"...
But it’s also a bit of a pity, because just when it was about to gain momentum, “Monster Hunt” and “Pancake Man” came, so that the highest single-day box office of “The Return of the Great Sage” was fixed at 67 million on a weekday!
This time was different. With strong word-of-mouth marketing, coupled with the extremely poor box office, word-of-mouth, and topicality of "The Bear Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk", the next day, the film schedule of "The Monkey King" rose to 31%, winning the
It achieved a box office performance of 74 million.
Of course, it still failed to shake the 91 million next-day box office of "Tiny Times 4"...
On the third day, "The Return of the Great Sage" took another 94 million, and "Tiny Times 4"... the box office dropped sharply. On the third day, the box office was 64 million - all the viewers who should see it have seen it!
"The Return of the Great Sage" almost broke the box office record for domestic animated films in just three days!
Not only that, on the working day of July 13th, the single-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" was actually 57 million...
It directly broke the box office record of domestic animated movies.
On July 14th, the single-day box office was 65.7 million...
It exceeded 300 million in five days!
On July 15, "The Return of the Great Sage" collected another 68 million on working days...
Then... "Monster Hunt" came on.
…
Company, Shen Changlin is reading the financial report...
Mainly reports related to derivatives of "The Return of the Great Sage".
"On the first day... 18 million... set a new record?"
The staff nodded: "No way, our derivatives are difficult to develop!"
“Too much piracy!”
"When "Yangtze River No. 7" was released, Stephen Chow was doing a road show in domestic theaters, and then he discovered that the theater was actually selling Qizai toys. The key is that Qizai toys were not authorized by him!"
"There are too many pirated copies, so sue them!"
Guo Songjiang nodded: "We have already issued a legal statement. By the way, our genuine version is only available on JD.com. Isn't that bad?"
Yi Qiao scolded him: "JD.com gave us 30 million US dollars in sponsorship, and the contract stated that JD.com would be given priority in shipping goods. We can't break our promise, right?"
"Yi Qiao, please make a statement in the name of Caitiaowu that "The Return of the Great Sage 2" will be released in 2018!"
"...but Director Tian wants to make "Deep Sea"..."
Shen Changlin nodded: "I know, let him do "Deep Sea". Let's change the director of "The Return of the Monkey King 2" and make a prequel to "The Monkey King"... I tell you, animated movies must be commercialized, you Try to convince him..."
Yi Qiao nodded: "Director Tian will definitely agree. From the beginning, we have planned to shoot three parts. The first part is about acquaintance, and the second part is about faith. It will focus on how the faith of Tang Monk and his disciples was established. The third part is to hit the road. Only with faith can they truly embark on the path of learning..."
"Just agree!" Shen Changlin looked at Guo Songjiang: "As for the derivatives, let them ship them quickly... How was the negotiation with several amusement parks before?"
"The most sincere one is Wanda, but...Wanda doesn't seem to be able to run this business in a theme park..."
"It doesn't seem like it, or it just doesn't work!"
Shen Changlin shook his head: "Where's Fangte?"
"Fantasy has his own son, "The Bear", and he doesn't have any special treatment for "The Return of the Great Sage"..."
Guo Songjiang motioned to the man wearing glasses sitting next to him to speak, and the latter came up with a report: "BJ Happy Valley is willing to build a return-themed venue, but they proposed splitting the accounts and betting... and asked us to pay half of it. Money!”
"What do you think?"
"Our idea is to agree to BJ Happy Valley's proposal... After all, we have not proven our brand advantage..."
Shen Changlin thought for a moment and glanced at him: "You mean to turn BJ Happy Valley's Return of the Great Sage themed venue into a flagship store? And then attract other domestic theme parks to join?"
"right…"
"But... we don't have much operating experience in theme parks..."
"Across the country, except for Disneyland, which is about to be completed, no one has experience. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones!"
Chapter completed!
