Chapter 236 Sensational success

"Dad, I'm going to see a movie..."

"What's the best movie? Go to bed early at night and take you to the playground tomorrow..."[]

"No, I want to watch "The Lion King", Xiaohong next door, Xiaohui and others, many people have watched "The Lion King", but I haven't watched it alone..."

"Can you kids understand what the movie says?"

"Of course I can understand it. "The Lion King" is an animated film..."

"Haha, if you want to watch cartoons, can't you see them every day on TV? Don't go to the cinema. Movie tickets are so expensive. Why don't you save some money to buy you toys, okay?"

"No, the cartoons on TV are not as good as "The Lion King". Also, Xiaohong's father also said "The Lion King" is good, even adults can watch it. Dad, just take me there, I don't want toys..."

"Ah? Everyone says it looks good? Then... well, I'll take you to see..."

...

When the sun rose from the horizontal line, the African savanna woke up, and all beasts gathered together, glory cheered, and celebrated the birth of the little prince Simba, given by the lion king Mufasha and Queen Salabi.

The wise old baboon, the wizard Rafach, baptized the little Simba. He picked up a handful of fine sand and scattered it on the little Simba's head, hating the people towards the birth of the Lion Kingdom. He believed that if it weren't for Simba, he would have inherited the throne, so the seeds of sin were planted in his heart.

Time flies, Simba has grown into a healthy and smart little lion, but his uncle Scar never gave up his jealousy for a moment.

Once, under the guidance of Scar, Simba and his good friend Nana went to an elephant cemetery outside the border to explore. Three hyenas ordered by Scar began to siege Simba. Simba and Nana were extremely scared. At this critical moment, the lion king Mufasha suddenly appeared. He roared, scaring the hyenas so much that they pulled out the seedlings and helped them grow. Simba and Nana were saved.

Scar was very angry at Simba being rescued. He almost decided to kill Mufasha. He promised the hyenas that he would get rid of Mufasha and Simba. After he became king, he would let them enter the Lion Kingdom naturally.

A few days later, Scar led you Simba to a valley and instructed the hyenas to chase the wildebeests. A large number of wildebeests rushed towards Simba, and Mufasha arrived in time to rescue Simba, but he was pushed down from the valley by his younger brother Scar.

The flood-like wildebeest herd rushed over, and Simba found a motionless father in the dead valley. He felt sad and guilty, thinking that he had killed his father.

Scar, who had ulterior motives, tried his best to encourage Simba to escape, and at the same time ordered the hyenas to kill him. Simba escaped under the cover of the thorn bush. The hyenas screamed at Simba's back as they fled far away: "Never come back, kill you when you come back!"

From then on, Scar ascended the throne and introduced the hyenas into the Lion Kingdom.

Simba ran away all the way until he could no longer run and fainted on the ground. Two kind-hearted friends, the smart and smart Mongoose Dingman and the kind-hearted wild boar Peng Peng, saved him.

Dingman and Peng Peng taught Simba to be carefree, not wanting the past, not wanting the future, and not having any responsibility, just live for today. As the days passed, Simba grew into a handsome lion.

By chance, Simba met her childhood friend Nana. Nana told that since Scar became king, everyone has been in dire straits and she wants Simba to return to the Lion Kingdom, but Simba did not agree. The witch was found by Rafach. Under his persuasion and the guidance of his father's gods, Simba decided to return to the Lion Kingdom to save the people.

Simba angrily challenged Scar: "I'm back, you choose, either abdicate or accept the challenge!"

The cunning scar did not want to surrender. He kept scolding Simba on the pretext that Simba killed his father, so he could delay time.

Simba gave up guilt and anger, and accidentally slid down the rock. Scar, who thought Simba would definitely die, told him the fact that he killed Mufasha himself.

In his anger, Simba developed infinite power. He jumped up hard, knocked Scar to the ground, and drove this despicable uncle off the King's Cliff. Scar became a delicious meal for the hyenas.

At this time, heavy rain poured down, as if nourishing the long-dried land. Simba officially announced his power amid the cheers and blessings of his mother and friends.

...

"The Lion King" is known as Hamlet in the animal world. It is a warm work that explores love, responsibility and learning in life. In addition to the theme of revenge, it also reflects the theme of family affection and friendship. The real reason why it attracts people is the atmosphere of the times that it exudes.

Li Xiaohu made almost no changes to the original version. Even in the Chinese dubbing version, the names of each character in the play are transliterated with the original English name. There is really no need to change it. After all, the recognition of English in the world is more widespread... If you choose a Chinese name on the African continent, you will feel awkward no matter how you look at it.

"... "The Lion King" uses the perfect blend of sound and painting, and the humanized narrative method to convey the principles of life chain and evolution, which makes this film several levels higher..."

"...The Lion King" has won the love of countless children with its gorgeous colors, moving music, exaggerated forms, humorous and witty language and human-like actions. The story between Simba, Nana, Mufasha, Ximan, Peng Peng, Scar and Hyena. The epic grand scenes and meaningful interpretation of human-like performances have caused adults to think about the ultimate issues such as life and death, wisdom transmission..."

"The music of "The Lion King" is filled with a strong world music style, and has successfully created the life momentum of natural friends in the African land in the film. Entering "The Lion King", it shows us a new and magnificent world, allowing us to experience the life touching of love and adventure..."

"The Lion King describes the life of the animal kingdom in the African savanna. In fact, its theme transcends any culture and national boundaries and has profound connotations - the cycle of life, the rise and fall of all things, everything must follow the laws of nature..."

"The background of "The Lion King" is set on the vigorous African grassland, which revolves around the growth process of Simba, a little lion who was born to be the king of all beasts. It has a wonderful portrayal of the purely manly emotions between Simba and her father, the physical and mental strength and sense of belonging between the entire family. However, the film does not only focus on these soft demands, but also provides a perfect interpretation of hard themes such as power struggle, guilt and the responsibility to bear in life. The far-reaching sense of xing themes such as love, growth, life, and self-salvation, on the colorful and dazzling African embellishment, it emits bright brilliance like golden threads..."

"The Lion King tells the story of a revenge of an old prince, but it is by no means an old movie. Whether it is a vivid picture, the soundtrack of the movie, the shaping of characters, the dance presentation of animals, and the overall creation, it can be called a milestone in the history of animation..."

"The beautiful music and wonderful scenes in "The Lion King" are unforgettable..."

"The music of "The Lion King" is impressive. It was strange that there was such a music master in China. Later, I saw that the soundtrack of the movie was completed by Li Xiaohu, so I solved the doubts. I am worthy of being a master who just won the Golden Rooster Award. Li Xiaohu's level is world-class..."

"The Lion Version of Prince Revenge - a plot summary in one sentence, but the film is by no means a summary in one sentence. This movie can be regarded as a miracle in an animated film. It is a milestone, and it will surely open an era..."

"The classic Prince's Revenge, Hamlet's adaptation, is very philosophical. Li Xiaohu deserves to be the best screenwriter recognized by the Golden Rooster Award, and has extraordinary actions..."

...

While the box office soared, overwhelming praise also surged like a tide.

The previous movie "The Gambling Saint" written by Li Xiaohu was criticized by film critics, and Li Xiaohu's reputation among film critics also plummeted. The higher the box office of "The Gambling Saint", the more reason the critics have for criticizing Li Xiaohu was about to get into money, and all vulgar scenes were stuffed into the movie.

But now that "The Lion King" is released, all the criticisms disappear instantly. Even the most harsh film critics cannot speak against their conscience. Faced with such excellent works, the criticism will only appear like a clown.

On February 15, it was also the New Year's Eve of the Lunar New Year. The box office of "The Lion King" was released last week, and the box office in a single week easily exceeded 400 million. This result has broken the single-week box office record of domestic movies, although it is an animated movie.

The promotional investment at all costs and the spread of good reputation after its release have not only made "The Lion King" a must-see movie for children, but many adults have also begun to flock to the cinema... In fact, when children enter the cinema, adults will follow them, so cartoons are still very prosperous.

For a long time in his previous life, "The Lion King" was the only cartoon in the history of film to enter the top 10 box office. So Li Xiaohu would not find it strange at all that it can break the domestic single-week box office record in this world.

The domestic box office market in this world is much larger than in previous lives, and now it is 1998. Without calculating inflation factors, just from the box office numbers, "The Lion King" is very likely to achieve more brilliant results than in previous lives.

In order to obtain more preferential share conditions when it is released overseas, "The Lion King" is not released simultaneously around the world. Now that the domestic results are so amazing, we naturally have more capital to negotiate with overseas distribution conditions.

Li Xiaohu has even begun to consider whether to acquire a film company in Hollywood, and nothing else, as long as there is a good distribution channel. With the current financial situation of the Li brothers, it is not very difficult to acquire a third-rate film company.

Of course, "The Lion King" obviously cannot catch up. Moreover, "The Lion King" is a work completed by Feixiang Studio and has nothing to do with the Li brothers. It is nothing more than borrowing the distribution channel.

It’s not that Li Xiaohu doesn’t take everyone to play, the Li brothers’ company has no talent to make animated movies at all, and has never been involved in this area. After Feixiang Studio merged Shangmei Animation, there was an excellent animated movie director like Hu Keyun. There was no need to cooperate with others. At most, it was necessary to find some voice actors outside.

It is approaching the New Year. Although the box office share has not been obtained yet, Li Xiaohu still gave a big red envelope to all the staff of Feixiang Studio. This is not a year-end bonus, nor is it a dividend for "The Lion King", but a reward that Li Xiaohu personally paid for to everyone. When he thought that "The Lion King" would be released worldwide and swept the box office, Li Xiaohu was particularly generous.

But you still have to hit it if you need to hit it.

"The great success of "The Lion King" is inseparable from your hard work, but don't relax, and don't focus on animated movies. The special effects production of "Terminator" must be first, followed by "Shrek Monster"... As long as the special effects of "Terminator" can satisfy me, I will also give you a big red envelope at that time, and the corresponding reward will not be reduced..."

Of course, there are specific working groups for each movie, and it is impossible for all the people in the studio to rush over. "The Lion King" achieved great success. Although Li Xiaohu generously sent red envelopes to everyone in the studio, the staff who participated in the production of "The Lion King" will have generous projects and dividends in the future.

Seeing the future of animated movies, the staff of Feixiang Studio are all focused on participating in the production of "Monster Shrek". They hope that "Monster Shrek" can also achieve success comparable to "The Lion King". On the contrary, they are starting to be a little worried about the special effects of "Terminator".

Staff want to participate in more promising projects, which is a situation that happens in all companies. If a staff member is sent to a project without promising, it is usually called delivery.

Therefore, the current trend of Feixiang Studio is understandable, but of course this is not something that Li Xiaohu can tolerate. It is necessary to eliminate this unhealthy trend in time.

This also caused the management flaws of Feixiang Studio, but Li Xiaohu didn't take this into consideration for a while.

Li Xiaohu knew a very simple truth, and continuous success was enough to cover up all problems. As long as Feixiang Studio can maintain high profits, no matter how many problems there were, it was not a problem. Under the host of Li Xiaohu, Feixiang Studio could not even lose money. As for eliminating hidden dangers, you can take it slowly and not be in a hurry.

Li Xiaohu's current focus is on "Terminator", and he didn't even watch this year's Spring Festival Gala. This year's Spring Festival Gala invited Li Xiaoshan again, but the program Li Xiaoshan had prepared was changed to space mechanical dance after the New Year's Eve concert of the stars.

The live video of the stars' New Year's Eve concert has never spread widely. Only the singers who have been to the concert can personally appreciate the great charm of space mechanical dance.

It can be imagined how sensation caused by Li Xiaoshan's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala brought the space mechanical dance to the audience of thousands of households across the country.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is also the highest ratings in recent years, among which Li Xiaoshan alone accounts for at least half of the credit.

After Li Xiaoshan came back, he also brought news to Li Xiaohu that for next year's Spring Festival Gala, Dakucha will invite him to help create a stage effect.

Li Xiaohu may not be able to make time by then, but Feixiang Studio has received another big business order.

"Terminator" has been preparing for the first time since half a year ago, and the preparations have been done. So after Li Xiaohu completed the editing of "Tang Bohu's Flavor", he can immediately join the filming of "Terminator".

When shooting, most film crews rarely consider how the original shots live in harmony with the visual effects, and just throw the things they have finished filming to the digital effects department, which is why digital effects are often called "post-processing".

But "Terminator" involved digital special effects experts from the beginning. Even when the script was finalized, the visual effects director of "Terminator" and the boss of Feixiang Studio, Lanqiao, also participated.

Because of some special effects lenses, although Li Xiaohu designed them very gorgeously, they may be technically difficult when actually making them.

The addition of Blue Bridge does not reduce the visual effect of "Terminator", but uses his professional knowledge to give Li Xiaohu reasonable advice from a technical perspective. Sometimes, changing the idea can use relatively little investment, but achieving the same or even more perfect visual effect.

This is something that cannot be learned from books. Although Li Xiaohu also has knowledge of learning special effects, there is still a big gap compared to professionals like Lanqiao.

The fighting style of "Terminator" will be realistic and passionate, and there will be many shots such as gunfights, explosions, and speeding, so some teams with high level in handling hard bridge horse kung fu films and gunfight films are needed.

Gu Changfeng has been in Hollywood for so long, and his martial arts coaches and stunt teams can almost be said to be the top in the world. Li Xiaohu naturally would not be polite to this old guy, and the two had an agreement very early on.

Feixiang Studio can now be regarded as the world's top digital special effects team. With the martial arts guidance team and special effects team supported by Gu Changfeng, the filming of "Terminator" has been very smooth from the beginning, and the difficulties encountered were less than Li Xiaohu imagined.

The week after the New Year is already the New Year. Although many children are going to visit relatives to greet New Year, during this week, "The Lion King" still received nearly 400 million box office, with a small drop, which is a miracle.

The domestic box office has achieved such a sensational success, and the negotiations on overseas distribution will naturally go extremely smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, "The Lion King" will soon be launched in dozens of countries and regions around the world, setting off a global trend.

o**.

Li Xiaohu was able to sweep overseas box offices in order to "The Lion King", but from the beginning, he arranged "The Lion King" in dozens of languages.

: It hurts so much. Just after the chapter was finished, the internet was suddenly cut off. It was only a few minutes away. The attendance award was gone! Oh ro!
Chapter completed!
