Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company¡¯s plan to train directors is underway with great fanfare. In order to train more outstanding directors for the company, the company has set its sights on cultivating new directors and new blood.
At the end of 2006, Zhou Shaoming, one of the company's main directors, finally successfully completed the Kung Fu Panda movie. Fifteen days before Kung Fu Panda was released, this movie has once again become the most watched movie in the world!
Whether a Hollywood cartoon with Chinese cultural elements can really create such huge box office results as Zhou Shaoming said has been questioned by many experts.
If you can do this, why bother to work hard to make money if you become a director? The cold ridicule of film critics really broke the eyes of many viewers.
¡°If someone just came to question it, maybe it would be understandable, but it¡¯s really incredible that they all come out at the same time and make such fierce remarks.
Zhou Shaoming, who has always had such a high box office in Hollywood, will not pay attention to this. Since he dares to stand in the avant-garde, he is mentally prepared to be scolded and criticized.
After so many years of tempering, Zhou Shaoming can be said to be invincible. How could Zhou Shaoming take this kind of trick lightly? Zhou Shaoming has a more grand plan in his heart. If he spends all day thinking about how to slander others, then I believe Zhou Shaoming There is simply no talent to create something better!
No matter how wise Zhou Shaoming is, all his talents are used on others. Faced with this sudden situation, Zhou Shaoming just smiled.
Of course, this situation occurred so suddenly that Zhou Shaoming and others were unprepared, but it is no longer important. With the arrival of December 15th, Kung Fu Panda is about to be staged. At this time, Zhou Shaoming and others focused all their attention on the final publicity!
Regarding the slander, Zhou Shaoming just smiled faintly in the media and said confidently: "Doubts are a good thing, but I will not accept any doubts with bad intentions. Besides, a classic work will not be drowned out by such doubts. In the movie kingdom, because we have an excellent team, and I am an excellent director, I will not just watch my work. Because of bad sound, it will be misunderstood by everyone, resulting in dismal box office results."
In the New York observation room, Zhou Shaoming was invited to the scene. Faced with the doubts of these film critics, Zhou Shaoming quickly responded after discussing with George! Although the situation is already serious, this response may seem a bit slow, but it is also the only way to save such bad rumors.
"Smith Zhou. How do you feel about your movie? After all, it's less than five days before it's released."
The reporter¡¯s question made Zhou Shaoming take a deep breath. "Many reporters have asked this question. Again, my works will get better and better as I grow. I believe the audience thinks so too."
The reporter cut to the chase and asked: "So recently, many people have questioned your work. What do you think?"
Zhou Shaoming hesitated for a moment. , said, "No matter what I do, I will be questioned. I have been questioned to varying degrees since I first came to Hollywood, but I am not a member of the outstanding director team in Hollywood, but for this matter I¡¯m very curious. After so many questions, I wanted to confront one of them face to face, but they didn¡¯t have the guts to do so. I really don¡¯t know what their purpose is behind doing this?¡±
The reporter asked in surprise: "Purpose, you mean there was someone behind them giving instructions?"
Zhou Shaoming responded with a smile: "I didn't say that, I just think their motives are questionable. If it is really for the sake of the audience, then you have to wait until the movie is released and watch the real movie before making a correct comment. Just rely on Just make random guesses based on your imagination, some of them are too childish."
The reporter nodded and said: "Actually, I'm quite curious as to why a Hollywood director would shoot such a cartoon with Chinese elements. Will such a movie really be accepted by American audiences?"
Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up and he said: "I don't know. It's better to wait for the movie to come out and let the audience tell us the answer. But what I am sure of is that the audience will like this movie even more after watching the movie I shot. I believe that movies with this theme will go further and be better."
"Is this really the case? I'm looking forward to it, and I wish your movie will have good box office results."
What was originally a face-to-face confrontation turned into a one-man show for Chow Shaoming, because film critics who had been dissatisfied with the unreleased Kung Fu Panda movie in front of the media recently expressed their disapproval of Smith Chow's decision.This kind of invitation.
"It was just a spat, and I was too lazy to study movies with such an unqualified director."
"Although director Smith Zhou's works occasionally have high popularity at the box office, he is still a young director and has too much to learn. For seniors, it is better to learn with an open mind."
The messy reasons made all the filmmakers invited to the live broadcast room back down. In fact, this confrontation was very beneficial to Zhou Shaoming, who was very well prepared, because Zhou Shaoming has the leading rights to the Kung Fu Panda movie. The original appearance is in the hands of Zhou Shaoming.
Film critics are not stupid and will not let Zhou Shaoming take this opportunity to promote Kung Fu Panda in the live broadcast room. Moreover, film critics who have not watched this movie have no confidence to give Zhou Shaoming a try!
As this controversy continues, the movie Kung Fu Panda was released as scheduled on December 15th. During the release, a long queue began to form in front of the theater!
Doubts and questions are not important to Zhou Shaoming. What is important is the attitude of the audience after his movie is released!
The box office performance of a movie is the value of the movie, just like when people start to survive in society, they gradually start to have value!
After Zhou Shaoming's Kung Fu Panda was released, there was still an endless stream of audiences coming to the theater. These were all things that were expected in advance!
After all, for a director like Zhou Shaoming who has extremely high box office appeal in Hollywood and even around the world, it would be a real unpopularity if his work does not receive attention when it is released.
Although there were some discordant voices criticizing Zhou Shaoming, it didn¡¯t seem to affect the audience¡¯s enthusiasm at all!
The theater entrance was already crowded with people at 9:30 pm. A martial arts dream, a movie with youthful vitality. When the poster of Kung Fu Panda Po is erected at the entrance of the theater, the audiences who pass by will take a look at it.
China¡¯s national treasure giant panda has appeared on the screen. This is something that many people can¡¯t think of! But Zhou Shaoming was the first to shoot such a movie!
The release of a classic martial arts cartoon has filled American audiences with high expectations. Everyone is waiting to see what kind of surprises Director Smith Chow, who has always performed outstandingly on the Hollywood stage, will bring to the audience this time!
¡°Get a ticket to the Kung Fu Panda movie.¡±
"Oh my God, why is the queue so long? Isn't it rumored that this movie might just be a fast-food movie? How come there are so many people coming to watch it?"
"A fast-food movie? Haha. Is that because I am jealous of the high box office performance of director Smith Chow's works? Moreover, the director's works are becoming more and more connotative now. I don't think his movies are just those with wonderful pictures and no connotation. movie. I can¡¯t be bothered to deal with that kind of slander. I¡¯ve been holding back this sulk. After watching this movie, I will use my true feelings to give those people a hard slap. Haha .¡±
"No, people who came to watch. How could this be such a perverted thought? I am still relatively literate. I just watched this movie and simply liked the movie directed by Smith Zhou. I silently supported the film directed by Smith Zhou. work."
"Here are two movie tickets. Kung Fu Panda."
"Kung Fu, can such a chubby panda really know Kung Fu?"
"Yes, I'm really curious. What kind of kung fu will he do? In fact, I still like Chinese kung fu very much, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Wu Jing. I will watch the movies of these Chinese kung fu stars when I have time. , I really don¡¯t know how our director will make a movie like this, it¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s just a cartoon, it won¡¯t be very exciting when you think about it.¡±
"Then you still come, it's not too late to regret now."
"What do you mean? We are already at the front. We can definitely buy tickets. You don't want me to go back now."
From the movie¡¯s promotional video, we did see the performance of Abao and martial arts, but what is the whole movie like? The audience is still looking forward to it.
"I want it, I want it, I want it."
"A movie ticket for Kung Fu Panda?"
"how do you know?"
¡°Everyone who comes here is buying this movie.¡± The conductor said and tore up a movie ticket.
The girl, who was out of breath after running, breathed a sigh of relief after getting the movie ticket. Suddenly she found that the crowd behind her was staring at her, and she felt a sense of embarrassment.
In Xi¡¯an Cinema, the girl started to rush to the cinema as soon as she got out of school. She wanted to know that Kung Fu Panda, her favorite director Smith Chow, was going to be released. Online reservations were no longer available, so she was just in a hurry.I came to the theater in a hurry, hoping to buy tickets. I actually bought it.
When the girl rushed into the theater, she went straight to the theater ticket office and didn't realize that there were several people waiting in line behind her.
"Ah, there seem to be a lot of people today." The girl was surprised, because when she came to the theater on weekdays, there were few signs of queuing, and there were only scattered crowds.
There are still so many people lining up today. Fortunately, I am a woman and a lovely woman. Otherwise, I would have been kicked aside by the people behind me.
When the woman thought of this, she didn¡¯t dare to stand in front of everyone, so she hurriedly entered the theater. There was still half an hour before the movie was released. When the woman entered the theater and found her seat number!
I was stunned. I usually go to this theater to watch movies. I have never seen so many people in the auditorium. What's going on? Are you dreaming?
The woman quickly shook her head to wake herself up. Only then did the woman realize that she was not dreaming. Both adults and children were walking back and forth in the auditorium with hundreds of people, and they basically had no time. location.
The woman took a deep breath. Her unintentional move just now was really wise. Otherwise, she might not be able to see the Kung Fu Panda movie today.
The woman slowly finished her work, and when she saw the almost full auditorium, Director Smith Zhou¡¯s character exploded. When did even Chinese theaters have such an attendance rate?
"Amen, I hope that director Smith Chow's work can really achieve satisfactory box office results around the world as he said."
China Hong Kong. In this bustling city, which is much livelier than in mainland China, a lively crowd at the entrance of the theater shouted, "When will tickets be allowed to be purchased? This pretty girly theater is really a scam." It was very rude. The man kept cursing the theater staff.
With the crowd squeezing, the man looked at the time and realized, damn, he could finally buy a ticket and enter.
The figures of the crowd began to pass by the ticket purchase head and enter the broadcast hall. The man was still very anxious. There were too many people in front of him. He kept looking ahead, but there were always people in front of him who could not finish their shopping.
Time passed by minute by minute. When the man saw the Gate of Hope waving to him, he hurried to the ticket counter and said, "Come and take a ticket."
Before he finished speaking, the conductor said politely: "Today's tickets are sold out."
The man was dumbfounded and said angrily: "Do you know what movie tickets I want to buy?"
"Kung Fu Panda is out. Today's is sold out, come back tomorrow,"
¡°Damn it, Hong Kong is such a rubbish place.¡± The man really had the urge to go up and beat up the conductor. I was even more angry when I saw the conductor put up a notice.
I feel bad today. It was really unlucky to get home.
??In a cinema here in London, England. It seemed much calmer, and people were filming in an orderly manner in the theater. This ticket sale was completed very quickly.
Twenty minutes before the movie was released, almost everyone entered the theater.
¡°Director Smith Zhou has released another movie, please enjoy it.¡¯¡± The man excitedly took out snacks.
"Panda, panda." The children kept running in the theater, and the adults behind them took full care of their children. This damn director has released another movie, this time with a theme that children love to watch, which is really killing us parents.
In cinemas in Paris, France, the romantic atmosphere is everywhere, even in the cinema, it is full of energy! Especially the audience who come to watch this movie are basically two people or a family
There are very few people left alone, and the ticket counter of the theater also seems to be very integrated. "Get a ticket for the Kung Fu Panda movie." The child in the arms of the adult said to the ticket counter.
The adult quickly added: "It's three."
"I want three."
The conductor looked at the cute child and couldn't help but smile. Such a young child is clamoring to watch this cartoon. Hollywood directors are so influential.
"Two." The man took off his headset and quickly added: "Kung Fu Panda movie tickets."
After buying the ticket, the man then listened to the music and stood in the theater waiting for his significant other to arrive!
In Japan, Asia, people line up in an orderly manner, without any jokes, and there is no sign of enthusiasm for watching movies in theaters! There were only a few middle school students in the team occasionally laughing and making loud noises, but when they found that the crowd around them was quiet, they involuntarily stopped playing!
Audiences who came late, when they saw the queue, they consciously stood at the back of the queue!
????????????????There are more and more audiences. Before the movie starts, people sit together and start chatting with each other. Maybe some people come in groups and talk very speculatively, but most of them are with people around them who don¡¯t know each other. We discussed together with great interest.
"Kung Fu? In fact, when Director Smith Chou brought the concept of kung fu into Fuse, I started to pay attention to his movies. But at that time, I really felt that Fuse was just a shocking scene, just an action movie, but there were already Director Smith-Chow has made a qualitative leap. When movies like Iron Man came out, I felt that the world of Hollywood in the future would definitely belong to Smith-Chow."
"Not just the Hollywood world, I think the whole world will be impressed by the movie directed by Smith Chou. They are all excited by what you said. Why haven't you started? It's really painful."
"Take the move."
"Go away, little one."
"My sister bullies others, my sister is a bad person."
"Mom, please take care of your precious son. He's so annoying that he can't even listen to music."
Theaters in Los Angeles are still very popular, but what about other places? As a director, Zhou Shaoming blended into the crowd. This time, Zhou Shaoming did not bring anyone with him. He just watched the behavior of his audience from a corner of the theater as an audience.
No one in this cinema noticed Zhou Shaoming¡¯s arrival!
Zhou Shaoming had a panoramic view of all the playful and exciting movements, and Zhou Shaoming also heard the discussion about this movie.
It was time to play, the lights in the theater slowly darkened, Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, the movie was about to start, and the noisy theater gradually began to quiet down.
After a few occasional sounds, as the movie played, the audience suddenly calmed down and began to enjoy the movie!
The dreamy start of Kung Fu Panda took Zhou Shaoming and others nearly three months to complete. Zhou Shaoming was still confident about the beginning of the movie and could shock the entire audience!
After the previous picture has been processed with sophisticated computer special effects, it appears in front of the audience with a shocking and fast visual effect, and a martial arts dream begins! The protagonist is the adorable panda, a chubby and adorable Chinese national treasure.
People are all pursuing their dreams, but how does Abao in the movie fulfill his dream? The audience began to watch this movie quietly! (To be continued)
