447: Is This a Cartoon?

"Why are you two still standing there? Let's go."

"Have you entered the venue?"

"Yes, there are seats available at 8 o'clock."

"Let's go."

Li Zhengyao picked up his son and walked towards the ticket gate with his wife.

The wife saw many couples with children like them, so she said, "There are quite a lot of people."

Li Zhengyao nodded and said, "It's a rare short holiday, everyone is out to play."

The family of three lined up to wait for ticket inspection.

The wife said, "I just found out that this "Kung Fu Panda" was written by Jiang Ge."

Li Zhengyao is usually very busy and has basically no time to pay attention to the entertainment industry, but the name sounds a bit familiar. After thinking for a while, he immediately asked, "Is this Jiang Ge the author of "Year Hare Affair"? "

"Yes, there are also the Tang Detective series, the Swordsman series, and the A Chinese Ghost Story series, all of which are his." His wife is a full-time housewife. In addition to taking care of the children and cooking, she just browses Douyin and watches TV series. She has some understanding of Jiang Ge and continued, " However, how much box office can a cartoon movie make in a cinema? He might as well continue to make martial arts movies, mystery movies, and horror movies. "

Li Zhengyao smiled and said, "Aren't there a lot of people? And they are all families coming to watch. These days, it's easier to make money from children."

The wife followed with a smile and said, "Yes, the adults didn't want to watch it at first, but they had to watch it after the children made a fuss."

They were chatting, and the son was blinking his big eyes, looking at the two "weird" people dressed in [duckbill caps + masks] behind him with curiosity.

And these two weirdos were Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei, who happened to hear the chat between Li Zhengyao and his wife. In their eyes, anime, like the inherent impression of quite a few people, is always for children.

But this can't be blamed on them. Because of their different hobbies, they have not been exposed to the current two-dimensional world, and have only watched cartoons for children on TV.

"This "Kung Fu Panda" will definitely change the inherent impression of these parents on anime." Zhou Lingwei said in a low voice.

"I hope so." Jiang Ge did not have any hope.

"I have some confidence." Zhou Lingwei said with a smile.

"The current two-dimensional world can also be called a cultural phenomenon. When two cultures collide, some people can easily accept it, while others cannot accept it at all." Jiang Ge gave his reasons.

"If one movie doesn't work, then let's watch another one!" Zhou Lingwei said with a smile.

Soon, all the tickets for the 8 o'clock show were checked and entered the theater.

The tickets for Li Zhengyao's family of three were in the eighth row, which was relatively far back, but fortunately it was in the middle, and the line of sight was in the middle and upper part of the entire screen, which was acceptable.

After sitting down, I looked around and found that the attendance rate exceeded 50%.

Moreover, many of them did not bring their children, and some even came alone.

His wife couldn't help but sighed: "It's worthy of Jiang Ge. Even if it's an animated film, there are still people willing to spend money to buy tickets to the cinema to support it."

Li Zhengyao nodded and said: "It will be affected by the reputation of "Year Hare Affair". After all, it is the highest-rated animation in recent years."

Jiang Ge's reputation is here, even if it is an animated film, it won't be too bad.

The lights in the theater dimmed, and a few GGs began to play on the big screen. Everyone fell silent, with occasional noises and cries from children.

After the GGs were played, the logos of the relevant departments, producers, and distributors appeared, and then the main film began.

[Narrator: "Legend has it that there is a legendary figure, with unparalleled kung fu and many legendary deeds. He travels around the world, looking for respectable opponents..."]

"Django!"

Suddenly, someone in the theater shouted, not because they found Django sitting among them, but because they heard that the narration was voiced by Django.

In the magnetic voice, a panda with a bamboo pole and a bamboo pole, wearing a bamboo hat and a cape, walked through the mountains, Gobi, and snowy ridges, majestic and awe-inspiring, fighting alone.

However, the style of this "Kung Fu Panda" made many adults shake their heads. It is more like an audio comic than an animation.

Li Zhengyao chuckled.

My wife felt the same way. It can't be said to be inferior, but it can only be said to be very "cartoonish". The picture is not much different from "Year Hare Affair".

But this is a movie, isn't it too insincere, or is it just for children?

Not to mention, Li Muchen, who was sitting between the two, and other children in the theater, were staring at the big screen, watching with relish.

Alas...

Since we are here, we should make the best of it. We can't just leave right after the show starts.

[Narrator: "No matter how many opponents he fights, he is very brave and has no rivals in the world. He is the most awe-inspiring panda in history, a super popular man. Even the most powerful heroes in the Central Plains, the Five Heroes of the World, have to bow down to this great knight."

"A Po, get up, you're going to be late!"

"What?"

A chubby panda was lying on the floor, yawning and waking up. 】

Then there was a long shot that captured the entire room.

Li Zhengyao and his wife looked at this scene, as if they were clay sculptures or wooden sculptures, completely stunned.

No,

It was the audience in the entire theater who looked like this.

The panda's hair, the pots and pans in the room, the potatoes and rice, the figurines made of bamboo, the dust, fog, and mosquitoes in the air, all look lifelike, just like the real scene.

This...

Is it a cartoon?

Everyone raised their hands and rubbed their eyes to make sure they saw it right.

Li Zhengyao swallowed his saliva and murmured, "It's too realistic."

This scene really surprised him.

His wife said objectively, "If you look closely, it is still different from the real scene, but it is already very scary to achieve this level."

At that time, Django exchanged the script of "Kung Fu Panda", not the complete version, and there was no original video. During the production, only some of the main characters were given images, and then the animation department was allowed to play freely.

So it resulted in the Earth version and the Blue Star version. The plot is almost the same, but the picture, action and soundtrack are very different.

The realistic + cartoon style is considered to be popular among all ages.

The adults in the theater who originally came only to accompany their children have now become interested in this "Kung Fu Panda" and are no longer absent-minded.

[It turns out that this is Peace Valley, where all kinds of animals live. Panda Po is one of them, and his father is Mr. Ping, the big white goose.

Po likes Kung Fu very much and dreams of becoming a hero one day, but he is a fat oversized panda who has been helping Mr. Ping run the noodle shop since he was a child.

Mr. Ping hopes that one day Po can inherit the noodle shop and the recipe of the ancestral "secret soup", and Po doesn't want to disappoint his father, so he has to show his interest in noodle cooking reluctantly. But in his heart, Po regards the Kung Fu masters "The Furious Five" as his idols and fantasizes about becoming a martial arts hero who punishes evil and eliminates evil.

Of course, Po is only a senior Kung Fu fan, and everything related to Kung Fu remains at the spiritual level, and he has never really practiced Kung Fu. 】

Gu

The camera turned and came to the Jade Palace. The Furious Five, including Tigress, Crane, Praying Mantis, Little Dragon, and Golden Monkey, made a brilliant appearance and competed with Master Raccoon!

"Wow!"

There were bursts of exclamations in the theater. The children were watching the excitement, but the adults once again had the question "Is this really a cartoon?"

Tiger Fist - originated from Southern Shaolin, known as the "King of Form Fist", requires fierce force, using hardness to overcome hardness, and once it comes out, it will defeat the enemy.

Crane Fist - Attacks swiftly, generates force when seeing force, and transforms force when seeing force. The technique has the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Mantis Fist - Fast as lightning, fast but not chaotic, hard but not rigid.

Snake Fist - Combining hardness and softness, flexible and smooth, extremely sensitive.

Monkey Fist - Flexible, agile and accurate, making it hard to defend against.

The image of the Five Heroes in the film not only reflects the profoundness of Chinese Kung Fu, but also brings the audience closer to the characters.

What is most impressive is that the personalities of these five characters are perfectly matched with the five forms of boxing, the strength of Jiaohu, the agility of Monkey King, and the elegance of Linghe.

This is what someone thought of the "real motion capture" mentioned during the promotion period. These animals in front of us are actually real martial arts masters.

Are all cartoons like this now? It's too bad!

【Experiencing that the most dangerous Kung Fu master in the martial arts world, Dalong, has escaped from Tagang Prison, Master Turtle of the Jade Palace decides to hold a martial arts competition to select the legendary warrior, the Dragon Warrior, from the Furious Five. The winner will be awarded the "Dragon Secret Book" which records the unique martial arts.

After hearing the news, Po abandoned his noodle business and ran to the Jade Palace to watch the competition, but he was locked out because he was too late. After several failed attempts to enter, he decided to tie a bunch of fireworks to a chair and fly into the competition arena.

Just as Master Turtle was about to select the Dragon Warrior, Po, who was flying high into the sky, fell in the middle of the venue. When the smoke cleared, the turtle pointed at Po and announced to everyone: "God has eyes, the Dragon Warrior has finally appeared!"

Po's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What?"

Furious Five: "What?"

Master Raccoon: "What?"

Mr. Ping: "What?"

At this moment, Brother Pig beat the gongs and drums, and fireworks and ribbons flew all over the sky.

All the animals cheered. 】

"Yeah, Po is the Dragon Warrior!" Li Muchen cheered.

The children in the theater were all applauding.

They...

They really enjoy watching the show.

Li Zhengyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this turtle master a bit careless?"

His wife was speechless and said, "Po doesn't know any kung fu at all."

Li Zhengyao turned and said, "It makes sense when you think about it. It will create a sense of contrast if the ordinary Po counterattacks."

His wife smiled and said, "I was unconsciously immersed in it and forgot that the title is "Kung Fu Panda."

When buying the tickets, no one thought that this cartoon would be so good.

And now,

Adults no longer watch this cartoon with the eyes of watching cartoons.

"3D production."

"Realistic motion capture."

"Realistic scenes."

"The layering in the picture is very close to natural light."

"The facial expressions of the characters are rich and vivid."

"The dubbing and music are very natural and in place."

...

These are the advantages that the audience can truly feel.

They finally understood why they were afraid of Django's movies, even if they were cartoons, because they were too good, not just in terms of the script, but in all aspects.

However, they had no time to slack off, for fear of missing any part of the plot.

[Everyone was unwilling to believe that Po was the Dragon Warrior, and hurriedly asked Master Turtle if he had made a mistake, but Master Turtle said that this was all destined.

Master Raccoon was very dissatisfied with this incompetent panda and decided to find a way to get rid of it, so he took Po into the martial arts training ground.

Seeing the superb martial arts of the Furious Five, Po was dumbfounded. It was his turn to play, but he had not learned a single move and ended up making a fool of himself. 】

"Hahahaha, Abao is so funny!"

The adults are laughing, and so are the children.

"Hmph..." Li Muchen had a different view and said to himself: "Look, Abao will definitely become a dragon warrior with unparalleled martial arts skills!"

Li Zhengyao raised his eyebrows.

The wife burst into laughter.

This kid has such a strong sense of agency that he feels like he is Abao.

[That night, the fierce tiger scolded Po in front of him in the dormitory, saying that he "does not belong to the Jade Palace" and "is a shame to the martial arts world", and asked him to leave early the next morning.

A Bao felt very lost, so he went alone to the sacred peach tree of the God of Gifts to eat peaches to relieve his boredom. Master Oogway came over, listened to his words, and enlightened him: "Give up, don't give up, sell noodles, don't sell noodles, You think too much about the past and the future. As the saying goes, "Yesterday will die yesterday, and the future is unpredictable. Seize the moment and don't wait." So we have to live in the present."

Master Oogway's words made the adults fall into deep thought.

If they were shocked by the pictures, actions, and sound effects just now, now they are attracted by the content.

In terms of kung fu, Po is naturally not as good as Master Raccoon's most beloved adopted son and disciple Tailang. However, Master Oogway rejected Raccoon's recommendation of Tailang as the Dragon Warrior at a critical moment, and instead chose the clumsy Po.

Confucianism emphasizes "progress", and Ah Bao's experience is exactly what Mencius said: "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this people." The various hardships and blows it has gone through have confirmed Mencius's words. Even if it suffers repeated setbacks, Ah Bao will continue to work hard. Bao still remains firm in his original intention and never gives up. This is the perfect embodiment of "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement."

Seeing this, "Kung Fu Panda" is different from ordinary cartoons. It is a cartoon that integrates many art categories such as painting, film, digital media, photography, music, and literature.

It's not just for kids, it's for everyone.

[The clumsy and greedy Po troubles the raccoon master who teaches Kung Fu. However, he discovers that Po has amazing potential in finding food.

So Master Raccoon used food as bait to train Po.

Under this teaching method, Po's kung fu improved by leaps and bounds, and he could use various moves flexibly. 】

The cheerful soundtrack and cool movements, especially the scene where Po and the raccoon master use chopsticks to snatch the buns under the sunset, made everyone enjoy it.

At this moment, both children and adults were all staring at the big screen, looking forward to the next plot.
