Yesterday, the Yixi Film Group held the premiere ceremony of the movie "Lion Boy", inviting everyone to watch this national comic film that can undoubtedly be said to be the best chinese comic film of the year. After the screening of the film, the film's director Sun Haipeng, producer Zhang Miao and special guest Jiulian Zhenren Band came to the viewing scene to listen to the friends of yixi to share their viewing experience and chat about their creative experience.
Yesterday was a weekday, but everyone's enthusiasm for this movie was quite high. To see "The Lion Boy", there are both young people, parents with children, and a big sister with a seventy-year-old mother to see... Therefore, our audience constitutes a small sample with a wide distribution of age and type.
Judging from the response of the audience, "Lion Boy" has been loved by audiences of all ages. Our youngest audience may be about three years old, and we can watch the entire 104-minute film quietly. During the film, everyone's state is very engaged, and the various joke baggage buried in the film has also achieved good results, and the climax of the lion dance competition at the end of the film, I feel that even some audiences want to dance with the rhythm of the drums.
In the past, at the end of the main film, when the end subtitles were played, Yi Xuanjun was very nervous, afraid that some viewers would leave the scene early, but this time it was very strange, everyone sat on the chair and stared at the screen, without showing the slightest emotion of wanting to leave the scene. Of course, this is due to the fact that the mood and atmosphere created by the film are too good, and the two ending songs are very good, even the lyrics are very touching...
When the subtitles rolled to the end, a magical scene occurred, and without any prior request or encouragement, the audience spontaneously burst into warm applause!
At that moment, Yi Xuanjun knew that "The Lion Boy" would explode, which must be a sure thing.
The biggest suspense now is whether it is a small explosion of 1.5 billion to 2 billion box office, or a big explosion of more than 2 billion box office. Hope for the best results.
The atmosphere of the exchange in the post-screening session this time was also very touching, the audience was very excited, there were many people who raised their hands to ask questions, and the creators answered very sincerely after being infected.
Sun Haipeng, the director of "Lion Boy", has also done some animation works before, but there is no sound, and this time it is finally finished. When asked by the audience why he wanted to make an animation about the lion dance, he said that his goal this time was to tell a story with fireworks, because he happened to live in Guangzhou, "often see the lion dance, hear the drum beat of the lion dance." The lion's head is also beautiful, the design is very fashionable, and the dance is beautiful, which is exactly what I wanted. The lion dance is very suitable for animation performance, you can use animation to make a lot of unconventional movements, more handsome, more ethereal, which is a perfect theme direction. ”
Jiulian Zhenren's "Mo Bully Young Poor" and the core of this movie reached a perfect fit, becoming the ending song of the film. Talking about this cooperation, Jiulian live-action lead singer Aaron said that most of them know them through the "Summer of the Band" in 2019, but they are the same as the experience of the three protagonists of the film, who originally wanted to break out and prove it to everyone. "We also had a similar experience with Sun Dao, both 'people who left the town', although we ended up going back. (Laughs) I think everyone probably has that energy in their hearts, and there is a lion living inside. Maybe everyone's constant difficulties in life are different, just like the lion dance in the film stepping on a high pile, but the inner strength - this resonance point is the same. ”
Our friends also expressed their feelings after watching the movie to the creator. An elder brother said that what moved him most was the positive and indomitable spirit expressed in the film in ordinary life, from which he drew positive strength. "And the details of this movie are very delicate, the rust of the motorcycle rearview mirrors, the splash of water when the drums are played in the rain can be seen." The overall level of our current cartoons is really beyond my imagination, and I feel that it is not worse than foreign cartoons. Very good! ”
The seventy-something aunt also shared her feelings. She said that when she first heard her daughter introduce her to watch a cartoon, she thought to herself, isn't it Huluwa and Nezha, what is there to see? When she said this, everyone laughed. However, "The Lion Boy" completely subverted her inherent perception of animation, and her original words were: "I am in my seventies, and this movie greatly encourages me!" ”
There was also a little cute audience member who asked the director, saying that he thought that the locations in the movie were particularly beautiful, and asked if they were built on real scenes. The director replied, of course not, it was all done in animation. But he's glad the audience asked that, because it shows that their animation was a success.
Take a look at everyone's enthusiastic tap water film reviews ~ ~ ~
The release date of "Lion Boy" is this Friday, and everyone must remember to go to see oh ~ ~ ~
