Chapter 291 Hua Danniang and the official announcement(1/2)
A movie "Farewell My Concubine" from China broke the first-day box office record in the United States, which amazed audiences all over the world.
Is this film going to copy the miracle of "Kung Fu Panda"?
Over the years, the United States has led the film industry around the world, and has spawned countless brands and super IPs in their hands.
Countless directors' eyes are focused on Hollywood, just like all basketball players yearn for NBA.
They always joined in and studied with an apprentice heart, but as a result, this belief was suppressed twice in a row?
"Why do I think American movies are about to fall from the altar? China has been invincible recently!"
"To be honest, "Farewell My Concubine" is really good! I have learned about the history of China and the director has made it very well!"
"When I was watching in the theater, there was a single girl next to me crying. I felt really annoyed and went to comfort her. Then she said she wanted to be my girlfriend..."
"This is a very different movie from "Kung Fu Panda", it can really be called a work of art!"
"I hung up my Chinese friend and beat him for an afternoon. He insisted that he could not perform!"
...
Foreign forums were killed by Chu Bawang so that the films were not kept. The audience and countries who had not watched and had not had time to be released are now looking forward to what kind of movie this will be!
Now is the information age. What happened abroad will be known soon in China.
Moreover, many domestic movie fans are looking forward to this release.
"Cheng Dieyi is awesome! "Farewell My Concubine" is awesome! Brother-in-law is awesome!"
"To be honest, I was not very optimistic at the beginning because Peking Opera is not as popular as Kung Fu in foreign countries, but I was slapped in the face!"
"I have a premonition that "Farewell My Concubine" may become the first movie in China to win an international award!"
...
The world is shaking and the audience is exclaiming.
What was excited were the group of movie fans, and the opposite of them were the directors who looked dead.
"I can't believe this is the video that China took out for election. I once thought that "Kung Fu Panda" was unexpected!"
"Whether "Kung Fu Panda" or "Farewell My Concubine", both are epic masterpieces. They can't resist any card!"
"I feel hopeless, why do I feel more and more that my movie is completely incomparable to others?"
"Impossible! When did Peng Yue become so powerful?"
"It seems you don't understand at all. The one who is amazing here is not Peng Yue, but the one named Xu Yan! Have you never heard of the Chinese e-culture at all?"
...
The hit "Farewell My Concubine" is not accidental, nor is it a good publicity.
After breaking the US record on the first day, it did not diminish the box office the next day, breaking the 50 million mark.
Everyone understands that at the moment of the third day's release, the history of American films will usher in a new record.
That is the fastest movie to break 100 million box office!
"A Chinese film keeps refreshing its achievements on the American continent, which is something other countries cannot do!"
"This time it's so strange. It seems that there are many cultural films. The ones from China have also released several films! The ones with less than China's results!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Take a country with only two or three hundred years of history and compare it with others for five thousand years?"
...
"Go to watch a movie together!"
"Walk!"
Many American universities and companies will say hello to each other to watch movies after finishing their work, which seems to have become a habit and fashion at the moment.
Peng Yue had just sent away a American director who was usually not even apart. Before he could drink a sip of water, he received another call.
It was called from Disney.
Peng Yue planned to join e-cultural after "Farewell My Concubine" became popular, so he was more concerned about Disney's affairs with the company.
As soon as you enter the modern building full of fairy tales, executives and directors greet Peng Yue at the door.
"Welcome Mr. Peng Yue!"
Peng Yue is only familiar with the two directors who accompanied him, after all, he is a colleague.
"Congratulations to "Farewell My Concubine" for achieving such good results. It seems that I have predicted correctly!" The director who picked up the plane that day congratulated him again.
Peng Yue smiled.
"Your strength is very strong, and we are beyond our reach!" Another director also stepped forward and shook hands and said.
Peng Yue smiled again: "It's not me who is strong, I know that he will be a great screenwriter and director!"
"who?"
"Mr. Xu Yan! Our e-cultural general manager is also the screenwriter and director of "Farewell My Concubine"!"
"Wow! I know him! The song he wrote is very good!"
"I just wanted to talk to Mr. Xu Yan, but he was very busy and didn't answer!"
The Disney manager who is connected with e-culture said with regret.
"He will always follow the cooperation between the two companies!" Peng Yue explained, "The reason why he didn't answer is because Mr. Xu Yan is busy taking wedding photos recently and he is going to be the groom."
"Really? Congratulations! Is his wife the queen singer Han Yumian? I like her songs very much!"
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the wedding should be held at Disneyland, the Magic City!"
"Wow! That's great!"
Disney was very happy to hear that Xu Yan and Han Yumian were preparing to hold a wedding in their own industry.
Disney and the two directors seem to be very interested in Xu Yan.
They kept asking the mysterious partner boss, but they forgot about their purpose of calling Peng Yuelai.
After talking for a while, Peng Yue said in confusion: "You called me here just to know more about Xu Yan?"
The manager was stunned, then slapped his forehead and smiled, "This is just one aspect. We asked you to come over to talk about how to make an anime character based on "Farewell My Concubine". Mr. Peng Yue, you are the director. Do you have any suggestions?"
Disney focuses on the animation industry, which is well known. Now "Farewell My Concubine" has become a phenomenon, and it may be possible to generate an anime image.
"Anime?" Peng Yue was stunned. Can this be done?
However, he remembered that Disney has many live-action movies that match the anime images, so he thought:
"We should ask Mr. Xu Yan this, no one knows "Farewell My Concubine" better than him!"
At this time, Xu Yan, who was lying on the bed and touching the little fairy's thigh, knew about this and said strangely:
"Anime image? Why do you want to create an anime image?"
Peng Yue explained: "Because "Farewell My Concubine" is very popular now, it will soon become popular around the world. Disney took advantage of the popularity to design an opera and national style dress for all its anime characters. They also hope to have a very authentic image of China!"
"Oh, yes! Teacher Lu must be happy to know about this. After all, it is equivalent to helping her promote Peking Opera!"
"Well, think about how to design this character and what is its name? Just talk to Disney after thinking about it, and then finish the manuscript early."
"Okay, I'll hand this over to the animation department!"
Xu Yan agreed and was about to hang up the phone, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the little fairy's computer.
The wedding photos taken two days ago are on the computer, which are very ancient and dressed in costumes.
"Director Peng, wait, don't quit!" Xu Yan said hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Peng Yue frowned.
Xu Yan didn't reply to him, and then snatched the little fairy's mouse touchpad and clicked on the previous picture. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly said:
"I have an image, but I have a requirement. I want my image to be C position in the photos posted by Disney. Do you ask if it's OK?"
"Yes!" Not long after, Peng Yue replied.
Disney agreed very simply. They originally wanted to set the image of China in the middle, corresponding to "Farewell My Concubine".
"Okay, I have an image to them, and my name is Huadanniang."
Xu Yan stared at the little fairy's wedding photo with satisfaction and said.
"So fast?"
Peng Yue was surprised, but when he learned that Xu Yan was planning to turn his wife's wedding photos into an anime image, he was a little amused.
"You are really expanding your influence for your wife all the time!"
"Haha, tell them that they will have an image within three days!"
After hanging up the phone, the little fairy's willow-leaf eyebrows looked very beautiful.
"Is this really OK?"
While enlarging the wedding photo, Xu Yan replied: "I think it's very good. Just treat it as an endorsement for Peking Opera!"
