Chapter 704 Daily life of the crew

As for animated films, Biantian entered the market with a short film called "Big Fish and Begonia" several years ago, but there has been no movement on this film.

On the contrary, "The Return of the Great Sage" took the lead and opened up the situation for the other side of the world.

At present, the feature film animation of "Big Fish and Begonia" has finished production and is scheduled to be released this summer.

But the press conference held by Biantian himself two years ago failed to attract much attention from the industry.

Because "Little Door God" lost money, and it was a loss of blood.

The cost was 70 million, and the box office figures just covered the cost. The industry's evaluation of The Other Side of the World suddenly fell to the bottom: "It turns out that remote films can also lose money."

"Little Doorkeeper" should be Yuan Yuan's worst loss-making movie in 12 years.

On the one hand, there is still a long road ahead for domestic animated films, and on the other hand, there is also the quality problem of the film itself - too much wanting to make an animation suitable for all ages, too many things are stuffed into it, which leads to serious problems in the story structure.

.

At the press conference, Biantian announced the three films he is currently working on: "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World", "The Origin of the White Snake" and "The Great Protector", as well as several films he has participated in investment and production.

A healthy animation company will usually produce 3-5 movies at the same time, whether it is its own or receives work from outside.

However, the media didn’t report much on this, so they probably still don’t believe in Chinese comics.

I believe that "The Return of the Great Sage" is just a masterpiece that has been incubated to a certain extent by China Comics in recent years. I don't think that the domestic environment can give birth to a DreamWorks Animation - the slogan shouted by Biantian is to build China's DreamWorks Animation.

There is no point in trying to compete with Disney.

It’s no wonder that the outside world is not optimistic about the animation industry. The production cycle of an excellent animation is longer than that of a live-action film.

Comparing Hollywood's production process, an animated film takes at least about 4 years to produce. In this time, two or three live-action films can be shot and produced.

Who has time to spend here with you?

But Yuanyuan turned a blind eye to the rumors from the outside world. Animated films are an important part of Yuanyuan Films, and they must develop the animation segment even if they are losing money.

"It took me almost 10 years to make a profit from Tiangong Yicai. The same treatment applies to animated movies. You just go ahead and make it. If there are no domestic orders, I will go overseas to get them for you. We must train our own gold medal animation team within 2-3 years."

." Cheng Yu'an said this when he held a meeting with Bian Tian years ago.

"Zootopia" lost to "Ip Man 3" on its first day domestically, with a total of 22.426 million.

But the North American market exploded.

It grossed US$19.469 million on its first day, easily topping the Friday box office list and setting the second-highest March box office record in the history of North American animated films, second only to the 21.889 million opening box office of "Ice Age 2" in 2006.

It surpassed the first-day box office of "Frozen" of 15.16 million.

However, the trends of the two films in the next two days fell beyond the audience's eyes.

"Ip Man 3" received 175 million the next day on Saturday, an increase of 25%; but "Zootopia" rose more than 150% the next day, collecting 60.35 million!

Generally speaking, the box office on Sunday will be slightly lower than that on Saturday, because everyone has to prepare for work and school. "Ip Man 3" earned 1.18 on Sunday, a drop of 30%, while "Zootopia" bucked the trend and rose by 20%.

Revenue 73 million.

So far, "Ip Man 3" has grossed 443 million at the box office in the first three days of its first weekend, setting another record for the best three-day performance for a domestic action film.

"Zootopia" also broke 150 million in three days.

"Ip Man 3" temporarily suppressed this pair of rabbit and fox.

But starting from the second week, the growth of the two films was rapidly reduced.

"Ip Man 3" earned 49 million, and "Zootopia" also earned 36 million.

On Tuesday, "Zootopia"'s revenue exceeded "Ip Man 3" for the first time, with a nearly 100% increase in weekdays to 68.74 million, while "Ip Man 3" earned 64 million.

"Zootopia" scores as high as 9.5 on Douban!

"You never know what surprises this animation company with a strange name will bring you!" The name of a major animation company is still the object of ridicule by the audience.

"I love this animated utopia, always kind, always beautiful, always unexpected!"

Cheng Yu'an was still nervously filming Wu Jing's scenes in Qingdao.

Liu Peiqiang will end his work on the Navigator Space Station and officially return to Earth to reunite with his family.

"Happy retirement, buddy. Hey hey hey!" Russian cosmonaut Komarov, a colleague on the space station, handed Liu Peiqiang a bottle of wine and invited him to celebrate his retirement.

The original Russian astronaut's name was Makarov, but Cheng Yu'an changed his name to Komarov - to commemorate Komarov, the first hero to die in the history of human spaceflight.

Liu Peiqiang took the glass bottle, opened the lid and smelled it, and found that it was wine, so he returned the bottle to Komarov: "I will go home after one day. Don't worry about it being late, you can keep it for yourself and drink it."

"

"I'll put it in a safe place for you first and keep it for you to drink before you leave. You won't have a chance when you wake up." Komarov said and walked towards Liu Peiqiang's spacesuit and hid the wine in it.

In the original version, Guo Fan gave Lao Ma Zangjiu a close-up here, but Cheng Yu'an felt it was unnecessary. The close-up seemed too deliberate, basically telling the audience that this bottle of wine can be used in the future.

Cheng Yu'an didn't like such an explicit statement.

"Do you know," Komarov put down the wine for Liu Peiqiang, "how did Gagarin bring wine into space?"

Liu Peiqiang smiled and did not answer.

Friends who know the history of spaceflight should know that the first time humans brought alcohol into space was in 1971, and Gagarin passed away in 1968.

This is a little easter egg given by the screenwriters to space fans.

"Cut!" Cheng Yu'an shouted and stopped, "One more."

For this scene inside the space station, the crew actually built a space station in the studio.

In the scene just now, the camera lens was not adjusted properly and it needed to be re-shot.

There was another problem with the lighting during the reshoot, and a lightbulb on set overheated and exploded.

"It's stuck! Change it quickly." It's no surprise that there are 10,000 accidents every day on set.

Reshooting was not as simple as replacing a light bulb. The prop team and photographer worked hard for half an hour to complete it.

Wu Jing was not idle during this half hour, and was still playing with prop guns at the scene.

"I said you're pretty good." Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "This is my "Wandering Earth" crew, not your "Wolf Warrior 2". I'll give you time to rest and play."

"This is not fun, I have to keep the feeling of holding the gun. Chuchu tutu!" Wu Jing pointed the gun at Cheng Yu'an and made sound effects with his mouth.

"Has Yang Yang contacted you?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

Wu Jing smiled and said: "It's hard for you to find such a large traffic for me."

Wu Jing is very happy. Although he is not happy with the trend of small fresh meat, but if the business ability of this small fresh meat is basically passable and can bring traffic and attention, a fool will not use it.

"Director, that's it."
