Chapter 672 The Much Anticipated Premiere of "Interstellar"!!

The influence of "Pokémon" in the previous animation industry is the top 1, undisputed!

The influence on childhood varies from person to person, but the influence of Pikachu is greater than the sum of all Digimon, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Not only in the animation industry, but also in the entire entertainment industry, it is the most influential IP in the world, without a doubt, even the Marvel series, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and the Mario series have to admit defeat!

This animation has more than one episode, and the first season is naturally the most familiar classic first episode [Quartz League], which tells the story of the young Xiaozhi embarking on a journey of practice with the goal of becoming the most powerful Pokémon training master!

Unlike "Digimon", this is a completely fictional worldview, rather than a new worldview based on the original real world. In the worldview of "Pokémon", humans and Pokémon coexist. As long as people in this world are ten years old, they can go to the research institute to choose one of the three Pokémon of water, fire and grass as a partner.

Take the illustrated book that can be used to search for information about Pokémon, and the Poké Ball that can be used to capture Pokémon.

It is a brand new world.

This setting alone is enough for the public.

In fact, let alone other places, let’s talk about the online literary world of Xiazhou. In fact, there are also such Pokémon and pet literature. Yingzhou’s animation industry has also produced such animations, and the results achieved are also quite good.

And this time, Changan’s "Pokémon" was released, and it became popular all over the world in an instant!

And the degree of popularity completely crushed the previous "Digimon", and once again exceeded the imagination of many people. They don’t understand why an animation that is also for children can be so popular!

In fact, the most important reasons are two.

The first reason is that these Pokémon, also known as Pokémon, are really too cute!

Regardless of whether it is for adult audiences or children, whether Pokémon is cute is the decisive factor in whether it can break the circle!

Although Digimon is very popular, almost all Digimons have lost their cute Q-version style after childhood. The elves in Pokémon are all so cute!

Especially Pikachu!

The most popular of all the elves is naturally the chubby Pikachu.

In this anime, Pikachu is the protagonist of the Pokémon world, exploring the world with the protagonist Xiaozhi. This species is not a very rare species, and anime fans also affectionately call it "electric mouse", but this Pikachu is obviously different from others.

In the past, the famous "Time" magazine rated Pikachu as "the most popular animation character after Hello Kitty", and its popularity can be seen!

The rest of the elves are not inferior, including the appearance of the villain Rocket Team, who don't look so annoying.

Especially the classic line:

"To prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the world's peace, to implement love and true evil, a cute and charming villain."

"Musashi! Kojiro! We are the Rocket Team that travels through the galaxy! White hole, a white tomorrow is waiting for us!!"

"That's it~ meow~~~~"

After the popularity of "Pokémon", everyone can recite it!

Secondly, why is the popularity of "Pokémon" far better than "Digimon"? It's because "Pokémon" is simple!

From the overall framework of the plot, in fact, "Pokémon" is not much different from many children's series. Anyway, the Rocket Team can never catch Pikachu, just like Big Gray Wolf can never catch Pleasant Goat.

The rhythm of the whole plot revolves around Xiaozhi becoming a trainer and constantly meeting different Pokémon. This plot is so simple that it can't be simpler.

The simpler things are, the more popular they are. This is an eternal truth.

"Digimon" seems to be a work for children, but in fact it is much more complicated, so complicated that many children can't understand it at all.

For example, the friction between Sona and her single mother, the embarrassment between Kou Shiro and his adoptive parents, the impact of the divorce of their parents on the brothers Ah He, and the complex feelings of responsibility and love and hate between the elder brother and the younger brother.

These contents are difficult for children, who are the largest audience of "Digimon", to understand. For adults, they can understand, but they feel that "Digimon" is too naive and childish and difficult to resonate with.

The whole "Digimon" must be a good work from the perspective of plot, because almost all the characters are overcoming adversity and growing up, and the supporting characters also have very clear psychological changes and growth lines, but from a commercial perspective, it is not as good as "Pokémon".

"Pokémon" is very simple, children are happy to watch it, and adults who are looking for innocence do not need to find resonance at all.

Growth line...

Almost none.

In the past, many anime fans said that Xiaozhi's biggest failure was that he had too little growth and change. Even from the first episode when Xiaozhi appeared to the last episode, you can feel that Xiaozhi is still the "sunny and simple" protagonist, still the same style.

This is 100% for "Pokémon" for commercial considerations.

Because both Brock and Misty in the first season have grown significantly in the subsequent stories.

Brock, who was unreliable and perverted at the beginning, gradually found his future direction and became a trainee Pokémon doctor.

Xiaoxia, who was emotionally unstable at first and ran away from home in a fit of rage, later returned to the gym, took on responsibilities, and became a responsible and capable person.

From the perspective of artistry and connotation, "Pokémon" is not an irreplaceable work, but an excellent animation should not only pursue connotation, but fun is the most important thing.

Of course, discussions on this topic have always been enduring, but the fact that "Pokémon" has such a high degree of discussion and attention in this world is enough to prove that it is a classic masterpiece anime.

When all anime are released, these viewers will naturally screen these anime, so an anime that can have a very high popularity among the anime community, even if you don’t like it subjectively, objectively, it is a A good work that is liked by most people.

…

In terms of entertainment, the fourth quarter in Xiazhou has always been relatively deserted, but this year it showed a completely different look.

At the beginning, the audience didn't quite understand why Chang'an was so ambitious this year and continued to output high-quality classics throughout the year. Later, after Lin Qiu and Tang Anning announced that they would temporarily retire from the entertainment industry next year, these audiences We all understand.

"Hopefully this is the peak of prosperity, not the last."

No one can predict what will happen in the future, especially after Lin Qiu retreats behind the scenes to rest, so this year's peak prosperity is full of meaning.

In the fourth quarter, Changan Animation exported animation works such as "Pokémon" that once again took the world by storm.

In the field of TV dramas, there are also more than one masterpieces that are spread by word of mouth among the Xiazhou audience!

A whole year of cultural and entertainment prosperity has given the entire Xiazhou entertainment circle a brand new look!

This makes thousands of viewers look forward to "Interstellar" even more, which will be released in December.

You know, this is the final work of Chang'an's prosperity throughout the year, and it is a science fiction movie created by Chang'an Film and Television Company with huge investment. Coupled with the popularity of Lin Qiu's last three movies before taking a break, this "Interstellar" Once pre-sold, it quickly achieved extremely good results worldwide! !

In addition to the expectations for the movie itself, this movie will premiere in Xiazhou, and will be released globally after the premiere!

The reason why this time is special is because Lin Qiu, as the director, will attend the premiere of "Interstellar" this time!

For this premiere, countless well-known directors and actors from all over the world were invited to gather in Xiazhou and Chang'an Cinema to complete this grand premiere.

This also means that Lin Qiu has finished shooting the last movie before taking a break and returned to Xiazhou.

In mid-November, "The Shawshank Redemption" was officially completed in Xizhou after nearly four months of filming. This means that Lin Qiu has completed almost all the work for this year, and the remaining work is some finishing work, such as " For the editing work of "Shawshank Redemption", it can be said that from the day it was finalized, Lin Qiu gradually entered the next stage of his life.

But before that, Lin Qiu would finish all the remaining work at hand.

…

This is an unprecedented event in the Xiazhou film circle.

"Holy shit! Damn it! Damn it! Only Lin Qiu has such dignity, right? So many big-name Kyushu movie stars and big-name directors have come to Xiazhou to support us?"

"In terms of big names, who is bigger than Lin Qiu now?"

"It is said that there are not enough seats in the main hall of Chang'an Cinema. Movie fans who can get one are really lucky. I suggest you buy lottery tickets."

"Here, I'm going to be selected. Isn't it the same as attending the Oscars? Being able to see so many stars with your own eyes!"

"Crazy...really crazy..."

"Looking at Jiuzhou social media, many movie stars have left."

The premiere of "Interstellar" invited a bunch of well-known people in the entertainment industry from Kyushu. There are no biggest names, only bigger names!

The major media started the live broadcast outside Chang'an Cinema at noon, and about three hours before the premiere, celebrities from all over Kyushu had already appeared in the live broadcast room one after another.

“This is Taril from Mizhou!!”

"Director Mohammed from England..." "I'm going, even Kaiser from Western Province is here!"

"Almost all the actors Lin Qiu has worked with came to support him?"

"It's too exaggerated..."

"Ahhhh! Hansen is so handsome! Jack forever!!"

The red carpet aisle outside Chang'an Cinema was transformed into the red carpet of a film festival!

Almost all the people walking on it were prominent figures in the Kyushu entertainment industry, and they all came to support Lin Qiu's new work.

The actors that Lin Qiu has worked with before, whether it is Hughes who plays the Joker in "Batman", or Conley who plays Batman.

Emily, who plays Maltida, and Donald, who plays Leon, in "The Killer Isn't So Cold".

Hanson and Lydia who played Jack and Rose in "Titanic".

Rob who plays Chris in "The Pursuit of Happiness".

Bratt who plays Lee in Manchester by the Sea.

…

When these familiar figures appeared on the red carpet outside Chang'an Cinema one after another, these Xiazhou movie fans couldn't help but recall every moment of their encounter with director Lin Qiu's works in the theater over the past ten years.

There are really too many classic movies. In terms of Oscar winner alone, Lin Qiu's works have produced more than one!

In the entire circle, regardless of whether they have worked with him before or not, they all respect and admire the young director Lin Qiu. There is no reason not to come to the premiere of "Interstellar"!

In addition to the movie stars from Jiuzhou, the people who came from Xiazhou were all well-known actors and industry insiders.

Just seeing this scene, the word "prosperity" will appear in the minds of all the audience.

There is no other director in the world who can be so influential!

Outside the Chang'an Cinema, major media and fans from all over the world have surrounded the place. Fortunately, Chang'an United has official measures to maintain security order on the spot, but within a radius of two or three kilometers, there are a lot of people.

For these audiences, even if they can see their favorite movie stars, it is not a waste of time!

Every time someone arrives, the names of the people on both sides of the road will be shouted!

"Hughes! Hughes!"

"Joker!"

"Wow! Ridge! Ridge is here too!"

"Ridge!"

"Look! Look! That's Hansen! Oh my god! So handsome! Even more handsome than in the movie!"

...

Outside the Chang'an Cinema, the crazy scene was more lively than any movie award ceremony in Xiazhou, with constant flashes.

Even standing outside the cinema, there would not be any boredom, because you could always see the movie stars that you could only see in the cinema before.

When there were about forty minutes left before the premiere, the arrival of a motorcade finally ignited the enthusiasm of the fans!

"Lin Qiu!!"

"Lin Qiu is here!"

"Lin Qiu, I love you! Lin Qiu, I love you!"

"Tang Anning! Tang Anning!!"

Almost every car drove very slowly, because the movie stars in the car would roll down the window to greet the enthusiastic Xiazhou fans, and Lin Qiu and his friends were the same.

In Lin Qiu's car, in addition to Lin Qiu and Tang Anning, there was also Milok, the protagonist of "Interstellar", and Bruno, an old director who was very respected in the cinema and the one Lin Qiu respected the most! !

In the car behind, Zhou Kai, Ye Zhiyuan and others arrived together.

"Be careful."

Lin Qiu helped the gray-haired director Bruno out of the car and reminded him.

Director Bruno and Lin Qiu met at the Cannes Film Festival and then became friends regardless of age. Director Bruno, who was already in poor health, has been getting worse in recent years and is gradually approaching the end of his life.

But on this day, Director Bruno's face rarely had a lot of blood, and he smiled at Lin Qiu and the crowd of fans around him.

"It's okay."

"Let's go."

In private, Director Bruno often joked with Lin Qiu, saying that he would live at least until next year to finish watching Lin Qiu's "The Shawshank Redemption".

For Director Bruno, this glorious life, there are not many regrets.

…

In the main theater of Changan Cinema, a large number of media and famous movie stars gathered, all chatting in groups of three or five.

What was a little funny was that in such an occasion, those who were usually big movie stars in Jiuzhou didn't even have the space to chat with Lin Qiu. They just stood up and applauded when Lin Qiu helped the old director Bruno into the theater!

"Pa pa pa pa pa——"

The media people at the scene also interviewed Lin Qiu. In addition to the upcoming "Interstellar", the topic of the interview was naturally Lin Qiu's decision to take a break.

Facing these questions, Lin Qiu answered calmly and relaxedly:

"The movie "Interstellar" is adapted from the "black hole theory" that has been very popular in the academic community in recent years after reasonable evolution. This is the core science fiction point of this movie."

"I won't spoil the specific plot. This movie can be said to have surpassed the limits of human space travel. It is an imaginary world. I believe every fan can find fun in this movie."

...

"Yes, about a month ago, I completed the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption". This will be my last work before I take a break. If you want to wait for my next work, it may be at least four or five years later. But don't worry, Changan will give everyone an explanation about the subsequent film plans after the release of "The Shawshank Redemption."

"The rest time in the past few years is very important to me. In addition to rest, it can also be regarded as a precipitation."

"As for Big What is Plan? You will know it in a while, and it will not disappoint you. "

…

"As for the box office of this movie, to be honest, except for the first few movies and "Titanic" I had expectations for the box office, for other movies, the recognition and reputation of fans are the most important."

"If the quality of the movie is good enough, the box office will naturally show a satisfactory result."

…

"Yes, the cost of this movie is close to 2 billion, which is higher than the production cost of "Titanic". As for why, you will know when you watch the movie."

The cost of "Interstellar" reached nearly 200 million US dollars in the previous life, which means that the cost of every minute of the shot in it is one million US dollars. You can imagine how terrible the investment in science fiction movies is.

But for Changanhe today, there will be no box office pressure at all.

Unless it is really bad and there is no hope, it is impossible to lose money.

After the on-site interview, the countdown to the premiere of "Interstellar" began.

"I hope all media, friends, and senior teachers can enjoy the next two hours together."

With the appearance of the host, the introduction and speech of the main creative staff, this highly anticipated "Interstellar" finally kicked off!
