The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 178 The Scary New Generation

If we say that the release of "Clash of the Stars and the Moon" is aggressive and powerful: then the release of "Toy Story" is quite a bit silent.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the latter is really released "silently" - these days, there is no saying that good wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

It's just that, compared to the heated discussions caused by the former big stars, big scenes, and big handwriting, "Toy Story" brings more simple happiness to the audience.

On July 7th, "Toy Story" started painting in an all-round way.

On this day, countless viewers saw the toys closest to the children "live" on the screen, which was refreshing compared to any previous cartoons.

The various poses of various toys, the struggle and cooperation of various toys, are very interesting and full of unrestrained imagination; when the Star Knight minibus jumps up from the owner's bed and shows its "flying ability", the audience and The toys in the film all expressed their sincere admiration - "That's really cool"!
The two toy protagonists have different personalities, but they have experienced common growth.

Star Knight Minibus never knew that he was a toy and wanted to save the planet; he embarked on a journey to find a rocket to leave the earth; With the help of Xiaodi, he accepted the identity of a toy, and took the initiative to return to the little master with Xiaodi.

And the cowboy Xiaodi from the beginning caused a catastrophe because of jealousy and made the minibus, to helping the minibus rebuild its sense of value when it collapsed, accepting the identity of a toy, and finally cooperating with the minibus to escape from the little devil and go home together.

The toy world also has values, and they are very simple and positive universal values-toys love each other and help each other, toys love people, and people also love toys.

——Children who are innocent are happy because of the wonderful visual effects; adults who have gone through vicissitudes of life also smile knowingly because of the simple and philosophical plots contained in their laughter and slapstick, and they really have a family carnival.

However, after watching the movie, many parents can no longer laugh.

——A complete set of movie toy peripherals. The peripheral sales counters of major movie theaters are full of beautiful things. Children who have just watched the movie and have special emotions for these toys look at the counters with full eyes. What can you do?
Especially in many theaters of Sky Cinemas, there was a scene that stunned parents:
The theater has specially built a dollhouse, which has everything from big dolls half the height of a person to small figures the size of a thumb. Children can "play games" with the characters in "Toy Story" in it. I can't move anymore.

Parents:……

What else can I do?
Take out your wallet, otherwise the children don't want to leave.

Among the grievances of countless parents, "Toy Story" received more than 2400 million daily on Friday, ranking third in the daily box office list.

At the top of the list is still "Clash of the Stars and the Moon", with a single-day box office of more than 3800 million.

And on Saturday, "Toy Story" had a box office of more than 3500 million in a single day, rushing to the second place on the ranking list, ahead of "Clash of the Stars" which also soared nearly 5000 million;
On Sunday, "Toy Story" had 3200 million and "Clash of the Stars" had 4600 million, firmly occupying the top two places on the ranking list.

The box office of the latter continued to exceed 2 million yuan in the next week, and after ten days of release, the domestic box office exceeded 4 million yuan, which is not surprising!

With this dominance, it would be difficult for "Toy Story" to top the box office list, but almost everyone is amazed by it.

Without him, "Clash of the Stars and the Moon" is so powerful that almost no movie is willing to encounter it, but under its strong pressure, an animated movie like "Toy Story" has always been extremely tenacious. Rush up.

Although the first three days did not exceed 9000 million, the box office potential seems to be far less than that of "Clash of the Stars and the Moon", but the box office of [-] million in the first week of the three days has exceeded the total box office of many animated films!

Moreover, the sales volume of its peripherals far exceeds that of "Clash of the Stars and the Moon"-although I don't know the detailed data, but after watching the movie, it's hard not to guess at the queuing in front of the counters that is similar to buying tickets. , its peripheral sales may be higher than the box office.

This is not groundless speculation. In fact, more than one film critic complained "full of resentment" in the comments, "I don't want to leave regrets for the children who have watched "Toy Story", but a whole set of peripheral toys is more expensive than the whole family. People’s movie tickets add up to be higher, it’s too much money..."

Of course, this does not affect that all film critics have given unanimous praise to this animated film suitable for all ages.

Yes, it is unanimous praise!
After the film was released, all the cynicism and objections beforehand were thrown into the trash can, and all the film critics were impressed by this creative animated film——

"This movie is a 'miracle', using superb computer special effects to create a wonderful anthropomorphic world..."

"I can't think of a movie that's funnier than Toy Story, the most inventive comedy of the year..."

"For once, the ad didn't lie to us. No amount of praise is appropriate, even necessary, for Toy Story, whose epoch-making significance has taken the industry's breath away..."

In contrast, complaints about "Clash of the Stars and the Moon" began to appear among the film critics——

"It is commercially successful, but you can hardly say that it has art at all. The whole story is highly simplified and stereotyped..."

"The special effects are amazing, but too ostentatious and ostentatious..."

However, unlike film critics' word-of-mouth division, the audience's ratings and word-of-mouth for these two films are quite good, which is the factor that has a decisive influence on the subsequent box office development.

It can be predicted that even if "The Stars and the Moon" failed to become the monopoly and ruler of the entire film market as everyone predicted at the beginning, its potential is far from exhausted.

Not to mention "Toy Story", the three-day performance is enough to show that its box office explosion may not be comparable to any of Wang Wei's works, but it continues the long-term hit feature of "Wang Wei Produced".

It should be said that it is most accurate for these two films to jointly dominate the film market.

The film critic Charlotte has a special view on this——

"The special effects in "Clash of the Stars and the Moon" should be the pinnacle that the industry can reach at present; and since "Toy Story", 3D animation technology has officially entered the stage of history and will lead a new round of animation industry revolution. It is no longer synonymous with virtuosity, but exists as a new form of animated film."

This old man, who is considered the oldest among film critics, has amazing curiosity and interest in new film technologies.
"From this we can see that technical factors such as visual effects and digital technology are becoming one of the core elements of film production. In the face of this historical trend, the new generation of directors can be said to follow the trend of technological survival."

"Technological survival does not require the director to become a technical expert himself, but first of all, it is a new creative concept and way of thinking brought about by technological progress."

"Wang Wei and Luo Jianzhou are undoubtedly the best. They continue to explore the possibilities of film and use brand-new technology to present a film world that is different from the past. Therefore, their work as a director and work as a producer have jointly dominated the film industry. This year's summer vacation."

"I can't help but look forward to where these two people will continue to work together to push the boundaries of film technology innovation? And the new generation of directors led by them who live in symbiosis with the new era will make film, a thing with a long history What kind of all-round changes have taken place?"

"Anyway, directors who are still following the rules and old ways should pay attention, the terrifying new generation is coming!"

This film critic, who is extremely popular among the audience, once again issued a unique statement that many colleagues considered "alarmist".

Of course, many colleagues agree with his point of view.

After all, combined with the fact that Lianya Entertainment, the overlord of traditional animation, completely lost its voice after the release of "Toy Story", it's hard not to get people's approval-"The terrible new generation is coming"!
But Luo Jianzhou just wanted to scold her about it——

"Bullshit teaming up!"

"It was supposed to be us who monopolized the market and swept everything, but now, this bastard popped up again! From robbing my woman, to robbing my box office, stealing my limelight... and this bastard teaming up? Impossible, in the next life Impossible!"
