Speaking of Wang Wei, you may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to works such as "Pig Man" and "The Adventures of Lolo", you must be familiar with these classic animation works from the hands of one person, and the works he directed occupy almost every child's childhood, he is the founder of Blue Arc Animation Company - Wang Wei.
In 2003, Mr. Wang Wei founded the Blue Arc Culture Communication Co., Ltd., adhering to the concept of passion and innovation, the Blue Arc Company began to develop under the leadership of Wang Wei, and the difference from the past is that Wang Wei is very optimistic about foreign advanced three-dimensional technology, in that era of extreme lack of domestic three-dimensional animation, Wang Wei's boldness undoubtedly laid a good foundation for domestic three-dimensional animation.
In 2004, the development of foreign three-dimensional animation began to enter its heyday, "Monster Shrek 2", "Polar Express" and other excellent three-dimensional animation was released abroad, and the Blue Arc Company began to create its first work - "Pig Man", in 2006, "Pig Man" The first animated TV series was released, and in the same year, another domestic three-dimensional animation "Elf Century" was launched, and since then China's three-dimensional animation has begun to develop continuously.
Round head round brain round belly, a humorous and funny love handsome GG Bond almost through everyone's childhood, noble but gentle and approachable Princess Fifi, the idea of more love to invent the confused teacher, often do the key moment but face difficulties with the pig man superman and Bobby, and the always snotty little stupid, descending dragon eighteen palms, super lollipop, one after another unique and distinctive character (pig pig) The audience left a deep impression on the mind, 2006-2009, Blue Arc Company produced a total of four "Pig Man", all produced by Guangdong Yongsheng Animation, and from the fifth part to guangdong Yongsheng Animation production, the blue arc company's pig and pig man road also ended, during this period, pig pig man repeatedly won many domestic awards, which are with the efforts of Wang Wei and his production team, to this day, "Pig Pig Man" magic theme song is still lingering in the audience's mind.
In 2007, the first fruit-based three-dimensional animation "Jelly Three Musketeers" came out, Wang Wei directed in the program said that unlike previous animations, this is the first time to integrate everyone's favorite martial arts into the animation, Mr. Gu Long's Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang and other classic martial arts characters in "Jelly Three Musketeers" were mapped into three different protagonists, starting their own adventure in the fruit world, and its follow-up work "Guobao Special Attack" combines mecha and martial arts innovation. And bold innovation in the plot, seeing is not necessarily true, Guobao special attack of the finale of the small Guoding subversive became the biggest villain has become a deeply remembered fragment in everyone's heart, which also allows us to see Wang Wei as an excellent animation producer with his superb level and excellent production ability again.
In 2008, "The Adventures of Lolo of the Beast" became a hit in China, although now it seems that its picture is very rough, but at that time it was already a very good level in China, video games combined with the popular Transformers at that time, tiger king, wild apes, Director Wang Wei in the character portrayal is very meticulous, everyone has their own distinct personality, emotional drama is not contrived, martial arts drama is not embarrassing, even if it is put to the present is also a very good animation.
Since its inception, blue arc company has been adhering to the creation of three-dimensional animation, its company's self-developed blue arc super speed rendering system, real-time physics engine has also been recognized by Autodesk company, throughout the early development history of blue arc company, he created one after another well-made animation, accompanied by one child after another childhood, China's first armor animation "Super Beast Armed", the universe and robots linked together "Cosmic Star God", and then to the excellent picture of "Steel Dragon", Mr. Wang Wei is not only directing, Or the screenwriter, dubbing, let people feel that so many talented people in the leadership of the no wonder there will be such a strong company, but the wind is uncertain, the soldiers are impermanent, even such a strong blue arc company will have a day of decline.
In 2013, the remake of "The Adventures of Lolo" "Wu Zhan Dao" was broadcast on various children's television stations and network platforms, I thought that it was time to sigh the maturity of technology to "remake" our childhood, but I did not expect to wait for a lawyer's letter, which may be very different, obviously "Lolo Adventures" and "Wu Zhan Dao" are the same root, why will it involve "infringement"? In 2015, the copyright owner of "The Adventures of Lolo" sued Blue Arc Film and Television to the court, accusing the character image infringement of "Wu Zhan Dao", and although the Blue Arc Company remade it, it only owned the plot copyright, which is also the reason why the character names and images of "Wu Zhan Dao" had to be partially changed. In the end, the court ruled in favor of Xingjie in 2018, and Blue Arc and others will compensate Xingjie for a total of 1.2 million yuan.
In 2016, the box office of the movie "Fruit Escape" was dismal, and in the same year, "Your Name" swept 500 million box office, breaking the box office record of "Spirited Away", Wang Wei lamented that the publicity was not enough, the publicity method was not good, but in the era of rapid development of the network, the strategy of the blue arc company's main TV station has been insufficient, and it is difficult to think of the competition on the network platform, it is difficult to have so much energy, in contrast, the mystery of the main network drama in the same period has already had a place. In the same year, the light media that had said that it liked Wang Wei very much also withdrew from the blue arc.
From the admiration of everyone to the shouting and beating of everyone. Since their own heat is not enough, then find other copyrights to heat up, in 2017, the "Steel Dragon" big movie "Steel Dragon Goodbye Ultraman" was released, the film was frantically complained by netizens as soon as it was launched, not only was Ultraman's image shocking, the film was also questioned by many people whether Ultraman had copyright, Blue Arc Company proved that it did have Ultraman genuine authorization and legality, but things did not go so smoothly, in 2019, this controversial work came out of the sequel, Because of the economic difficulties of Round Valley Co., Ltd. in the early years, it had to sell Ultraman's creative rights, and after several transfers, Blue Arc bought Ultraman's creative rights in a company in Shanghai to create two films of Steel Feilong, but Ultraman's real China agency Xinchuanghua did not stop appealing to Blue Arc, and finally in July 2020, the court ruled that Blue Arc Caused Infringement and Compensated related economic losses, and this dispute was resolved for many years. Many people lament why the former "childhood giant" has fallen to this point today, the times are constantly developing, no one can always be smooth sailing, I hope that Blue Arc Company can also explore its own path in the new era and create brilliance again.
