448: At This Moment, We Are All Children

Among many Earth animation film resources, Jiang Ge chose "Kung Fu Panda" as Huafeng's first animation film after careful consideration.

First, he had seen this film and was relatively familiar with it;

Second, this film has almost all the narrative elements of Hollywood classics;

Third, this film has been verified by the global market and has indeed successfully conquered audiences of different cultures and races.

The so-called "innovation" is a creative breakthrough based on the predecessors, not a mess without knowing the rules. There are many animated films on Earth, but it does not mean that any one of them can be a big hit on the blue planet.

The story of "Kung Fu Panda" is very simple. It tells a story about a lazy and fat panda who, driven by dreams, eventually becomes a generation of kung fu masters.

The heavy body and greedy nature are the inherent impressions of pandas. In other words, this is an animal that has no chance to become a kung fu master. But movies are movies, not life itself. What they want to reveal is the essence of life, not the appearance of life. It is precisely because of "dreams" that the impossible becomes possible.

From this point alone, the audience has reason to like this film. The reason is very simple. Everyone has a dream. Although we don’t look like pandas, our hearts are actually exactly the same. Because of the commonality of human nature, it will trigger a strong resonance.

Looking at the children and adults in the theater who are concentrating, it has been shown that Django has no problem choosing "Kung Fu Panda".

[On the other side, the Furious Five learned about Tai Lang's escape from prison and rushed to fight Tai Lang overnight. The two sides met on the wooden suspension bridge in the cliff and fought directly as soon as they met. ]

"Yeah, I won!"

Like other children, Li Muchen clapped his hands happily when he saw Tai Lang being knocked down the cliff by the Furious Five who cooperated seamlessly.

However, adults all know that Tai Lang will not be defeated by the Furious Five so easily.

Sure enough, Tai Lang used the rope of the wooden suspension bridge to swing back to the ground, and subdued the Furious Five with the "acupoint pressing" taught by Master Raccoon.

【The Furious Five returned to the Jade Palace after a tragic defeat, and happened to meet Po and Master Raccoon who had just returned from training. Seeing that even the idol who had trained for many years could not resist Tai Lang, Po began to retreat.

In order to defeat Tai Lang, Master Raccoon decided to give the Dragon Book that had been sealed to Po, but surprisingly, the Dragon Book that Po opened was a blank paper. The desperate Master Raccoon had to decide to deal with Tai Lang himself, and let Po and the Furious Five lead the villagers of Ping Valley to escape.

On the way to escape, Mr. Ping told Po that there was actually no secret recipe for the family's ancestral noodle soup, and the secret to the good taste was the noodles themselves. Po suddenly realized that there was actually no secret recipe or book in the world, and the highest realm of martial arts was to believe in oneself, so he decided to fight Tai Lang. 】

Seeing this, the theater was unusually quiet, the children stopped laughing, and the adults frowned, and the initial joyful atmosphere became heavy.

In this lengthy second part, everyone found that the plot was actually heading straight for a downturn, and it was getting more and more down.

First, Master Turtle died and Po escaped; then, in order to deal with Tai Lang, the Furious Five returned in defeat; finally, the only hope to defeat Tai Lang, the Shenlong Collection that had been sealed for a thousand years, turned out to be a piece of paper.

In fact, this is a common method used in film and television dramas, comics, novels, etc., to keep the plot going downhill and pave the way for the upcoming climax.

[Tai Lang arrived as expected and killed his way to the Jade Palace.

The battle was about to break out. Facing the master who had raised him carefully, Tai Lang used all his strength as soon as he came up, and the old raccoon master was no match for his apprentice.

Tai Lang punched Master Raccoon to the ground and asked hysterically: "Everything I did was to make you proud. Tell me how proud you are, Master, tell me, tell me!"

Master Raccoon lay on the ground and said weakly: "I have always been proud of you. From the beginning, I was proud of you. My vanity blinded me. My doting on you made me unable to see your transformation. It was me who spoiled you. I'm sorry."

Tai Lang's eyes flickered, and he was silent for half a second. He grabbed Master Raccoon's neck and said: "I don't need your apology, I want my Dragon Book!"

However, when he looked up, he found that the Dragon Book was gone. Master Raccoon told him that the Dragon Book was taken away by the Dragon Warrior. In a hurry, he increased the strength of his hands. 】

It turned out that Master Raccoon was cold and strict on the surface, but kind and affectionate in his heart. Tai Lang became a villain because of his doting.

"Tae-lang is like a child who wants to be recognized by his parents."

"A spoiled child."

"Master Raccoon has a big problem."

"Excessive pampering is harmful."

"Is this a warning to us?"

"It seems that he has been educated."

...

The story between Master Raccoon and Tae-lang touched the adults deeply.

But for the children, when they saw that Master Raccoon was about to be strangled to death by Tae-lang, they clenched their fists tightly and wanted to get into the movie to help.

After the attention was drawn back, the hearts of the adults were raised to their throats. Isn't this character with a sharp tongue but a soft heart a true portrayal of them? Of course, more people don't want to play a tragic scene in front of the children.

After all, this "Kung Fu Panda" is aimed at children, so it is not rated. If you want to pass the review, you have to make choices, so there won't be too excessive scenes and plots.

Our protagonist, Abao, finally arrived at the Jade Palace out of breath.

"Abao, go and defeat him!"

Li Muchen raised his fist and shouted at the big screen.

Li Zhengyao quickly asked his son to keep his voice down so as not to affect others.

However, just as they were comforted here, the other children started yelling again.

Some people who came alone or without children felt dizzy when they saw this group of noisy children. Fortunately, the wonderful plot came and attracted their attention and stopped causing trouble.

[Abao used various methods to prevent Taiyang from getting the Dragon Book. He even imagined the Dragon Book as a piece of sesame seed cake. He couldn't beat Taiyang's speed, so he cleverly used fireworks as a propeller to speed up his speed.

After going through a lot of hardships, Taiyang finally got the Dragon Book, but was disappointed to find that there was nothing in it. Abao explained that he didn't understand it at the beginning. There was no so-called book, and the key was himself.

Angry and angry, Taiyang wanted to touch A Bao's acupuncture points, but because the fat was too thick, touching A Bao's body was like tickling him, making him laugh non-stop.

The two struggled again, but this time, Po changed his moves and used his big belly to attack. Taeyang was completely suppressed by Po. In the end, Po defeated him with a self-taught "Five River Iron Finger Button" Taeyang. 】

The fight between Abao and Taiyang was hilarious throughout. Although it contained the strong exaggeration and contrast of cartoons, the entire fighting plot vividly demonstrated Chinese Kung Fu and caught everyone's attention.

Every corner of the theater was filled with the joyful laughter of children and adults.

Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei, who were sitting in the last row, had smiles on their eyes and mouths.

However, they didn’t laugh because of the plot, but because of the audience’s reaction.

"I'm right, this "Kung Fu Panda" will change everyone's inherent impression of animation." Zhou Lingwei said proudly.

"Yes." Jiang Ge smiled slightly and squeezed her hand gently.

The two people's low-pitched conversation was not heard by others. At this moment, everyone's eyes were still locked on the big screen, and the plot was not over yet.

[The villagers rushed back to the village. In the dust and fog raised by Wuxi Iron Finger, a majestic figure slowly walked towards them. It was wearing a bamboo hat and a cape. However, when the dust and fog dispersed, it was discovered that it was wearing a hat and a cape. Po in an apron and an iron pot on his head.

After a brief silence, the villagers embraced Po and cheered "Dragon Warrior". The Furious Five also recognized the strength of this stocky panda and called him "Master" with clasped fists.

The excited Po suddenly remembered that the seriously injured raccoon master was still lying in the Jade Palace, and hurried back to tell the raccoon master that Taiyun had been defeated. The weak raccoon master congratulated him and closed his eyes to nurse him back to life. Po mistakenly thought that it was dead. , and got scolded.

Po asked Master Raccoon if he wanted to eat something, and Master Raccoon agreed. Then the master and apprentice sat under the peach tree, looking at the Peace Valley, and ate steamed buns together. 】

At this point, the whole story ends.

Then the camera jumps to show Po and the Furious Five continuing their training under the guidance of Master Raccoon on the top of the mountain, and a familiar music plays.

"Lying like a bow

Standing like a pine

Sit like a bell without moving or shaking

Walking with a gust of wind

South Fist and North Kick

Shaolin Wudang Kung Fu

Tai Chi Bagua Lian Zhang

China has magical powers..."

The BGM that appears several times in the film turns out to be the theme song.

And this voice...

Longwei! Gu Chui

With his instantly recognizable voice and the dubbing of Master Raccoon, there is no need to guess at all.

This song is "Chinese Kung Fu". It was written by Song Xiaoming, composed by Wu Jiaji, and sung by Tu Honggang. It takes the traditional Chinese martial arts spirit as its theme, shows the combination of hardness and softness in Chinese Kung Fu, and sings the praises of youth. Human fighting spirit.

"Sweep a large area with a stick

Pick a line

As light as a swallow in the clouds

We are so proud

External training of muscles, bones and skin

Take a breath inside

Be firm and soft and never bow your head

We have heaven and earth in our hearts..."

The first part is a dramatic singing, but when it comes to the second part, the music melody is suddenly abandoned, the rhythm is emphasized, and it becomes rap.

Drum music and rap, a very interesting combination.

"The Qingfeng Sword is in hand

Just look at the two swords

An expert in kung fu takes action

He knows if there is

Hands are two doors

There is a root under your feet

Nurtured by water and soil from all directions

Our Chinese martial arts spirit..."

Changes in the rhythm of the song and compression of the melody will cause changes in the mood of the music.

Long Wei's strong and powerful voice, unlike Lin Yu's delicate one, has a rough and honest feel, which makes it more powerful.

"One Dragon from the East

Sons and daughters are like heroes

The sky is high and the wind is far away from all sides

China has magical power! "

The children were all gearing up, standing up from their seats, imitating the movements of Po and the Furious Five in the picture, and making "hum hum ha hey" gestures in the void.

The film has come to an end, and the parents no longer block it. They are studying this song written by Django. The lyrics, melody and arrangement seem to be very simple, but the expression is anything but simple.

The first three paragraphs introduce all aspects of Chinese martial arts and the magnanimity and heroic demeanor of those who practice martial arts. In the last paragraph, "A dragon from the east" refers to our great motherland, and "sons and daughters are like heroes" means that we descendants of Yan and Huang are all heroes. "The sky is high, the sky is high, the winds are far away, and the winds are blowing in all directions" refers to the vast territory of our motherland, and "China has magical skills" refers to our martial arts.

this……

Are all cartoons this curly?

From the graphics to the plot, from the dubbing to the soundtrack, this "Kung Fu Panda" is top-notch in every aspect, not inferior to Japan or Country M at all.

Because Blue Star is already in 2025, it is impossible to use the original 2008 picture quality, so Django spent a lot of money to enhance all aspects and improve the quality. It is no exaggeration to say that this version now surpasses the original version.

"Is this a Chinese comic?"

"It was a really good shot."

"Everyone in my 10s, 30s, or older watched it with gusto."

"Brother, I'm forty, and I can still enjoy it."

"Whether it is the creative background or visual presentation, the excavation and application of all Chinese elements demonstrate the long history of Chinese culture."

"It's not simple. Almost all the color concepts in the film reflect the traditional Chinese philosophical concepts of Tai Chi and Bagua, Yin Yang and Five Elements, Heaven, Earth and Humanity."

"Although Po has mediocre qualifications, clumsiness, and is far from the image of a hero in people's minds, he has a benevolent heart and pursues his dreams without distraction. Even in the face of ridicule and doubt, he is still dedicated to doing good. Benevolence and righteousness fully embody the Chinese martial arts spirit.”

"Really like this panda."

"Django is still the same Django. You'll know when he makes a move."

"Haha, after harvesting us, it's time to harvest our children."

…

The singing and the picture ended at the same time. Is this the end? Of course not.

The last one is subtitles + dubbing highlights + ending song "kungfufighting".

In the movie theater, almost no one left except those who couldn't help but get up and go to the bathroom.

At this moment, there is no difference between adults and children, they are all enjoying it.

A few minutes later, until the words "End of Play" appeared on the big screen and the cleaning staff turned on the lights to prepare for cleaning, everyone reluctantly left.

Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei left the theater first.

"Wow, doll!" Zhou Lingwei saw a long table not far from the ticket counter with many "Kung Fu Panda" peripherals on it. She immediately became interested and immediately pulled Jiang Ge over.

"I thought this movie theater didn't have one," Django said to himself.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lingwei asked curiously.

"This is a cooperative project between us and major theater chains." Jiang Ge explained.

Derivatives of film and television dramas can create huge commercial value and even feed back into the film industry. For companies such as Disney, Marvel, and DC, peripheral derivatives can even account for two-thirds of film revenue.

In contrast, compared with the popularity of China's film market, the film and television drama derivatives market has just awakened. In fact, this is not because domestic consumers are unwilling to buy these derivatives, but that it is difficult to buy high-quality derivatives.

When Jiang Ge decided to enter the film and television industry, his plan was to follow two paths. One path was to create an excellent IP, and the other was to formulate the market positioning of the product and a clear business model so that every film and television drama would have a chance. Form a high-quality brand.

At first, there were plot-related derivatives, such as celebrity doll keychains, picture tubes, and helmets, etc., and then there were character-related derivatives, such as pillows, figures, and dolls.

And it has become bigger and stronger, ranking first in the market share of domestic film and television drama derivatives.

"Po's dolls are so cute."

"The figures of the Furious Five are so exquisite."

"Master Oogway's keychain is kind of funny."

…

Zhou Lingwei scanned around and liked every one and wanted to buy every one.

"We are traveling outside. Where should we put the purchases we have made?" Seeing that she was about to buy a lot, Jiang Ge hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and whispered in her ear: "In this way, as long as you like it, I will have it sent to you. Go home."

"That's right..." Zhou Lingwei thought for a moment. They were traveling lightly, with just one suitcase, so she said, "I want everything you said."

Jiang Ge nodded and said: "Yes."

Although the salesperson didn't hear what Jiang Ge said specifically, when he saw that the girl with a strong desire to buy didn't buy anything, he muttered in his heart: "It's too stingy to go out on a date."

However, parents coming out of various theaters now can’t pick it up even if they want to.

"Wow!"

The children ran over like wild horses with gleaming eyes.
