.In September 1999, Blue Sky Studio became a member of Flame Film and produced "Ice Age" for 6,500 bowls. This cgl cartoon was launched on the theaters on May 10, 2002, becoming the seventh cgl cartoon with a box office of over 100 million in North America, and finally received 47.6 billion in global box office. This impressive result made Blue Sky become the fourth largest cgl animation company in addition to Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks.

With the crazy boss of Fantasy Yang, the newly rising Blue Sky seemed ambitious, and soon after, two new plans for CGL movies were announced.

The first item is to invest in the production of "The Ice Age No Glacier Melting", which is continued by director Carlos Erdanha, the first episode, and another director, Chris Weki, is responsible for the production work.

Compared with the first part, "The Melt of Glacier" not only has a more mature behind-the-scenes production team and experienced animators; it also has a leap-through advanced and meticulous CG technology, as well as a new voice actor for new characters. The innocent and persistent female mamma elephant Ellie is interpreted by the increasingly popular Ben Yilatifa. The naughty brothers around Ellie invited the "hard bar" Sean William New Cott from the "American Pie" series.

The sequel has been completed and has arrived at the final stage of the dubbing and music. It will be released on time in North America on less than three months later, on May 7 this year, to seize the box office share of the 2004 summer vacation. And it will be earlier, such as April 23 and April 30, logged in to some overseas theaters, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina.

This is a very small number of overseas release arrangements earlier than North America. Because judging from box office and late-stage peripheral sales data, it is obvious that the overseas market is more interested in "Ice Age". The huge success of the first part gave overseas publishers confidence, agreed to publicity, and period cooperation. If "Ice Age 2" competes in the North American market with enthusiastic responses and praise from overseas, it will boost the box office effect.

Overseas is greater than North America, overseas is earlier than North America. This is also the market positioning of the "Ice Age" series, the "Kung Fu Panda" series, and even the development strategy of the entire animation company. "Ice Age 2" is the first hit!

"These pandas are so good..." Oh! Look at that one, it is looking at us!"

Under the light blue sky, trees were growing. A giant panda with black and white lazily climbed on the low mud or slept on wooden sheds, and one sleeping between the branches and forks of a three-pointed tree, rolling like a large round ball of hair. An adult giant panda walking on the wooden shed looked at the stone railings far above and saw some sporadic tourists there.

A woman with coffin hair in blue clothes pointed here in surprise. The black-haired man in gray clothes next to him was taking a photo with something. The giant panda only felt a flash of light pounce on him. It yawned in boredom. The woman with coffin hair said happily again: "Haha, it is yawning! Her mouth is so wide!"

After climbing Mount Everest and stepping onto the world, Wang Yang and Jessica left Tibet and continued to live alone in the world of two people, enjoying a newly married honeymoon of more than ten days. The first stop of the journey is Chengdu, Sichuan, and the giant panda breeding research base.

The cute giant panda is another key plan of Blue Sky Studio. Since the early summer of 2002, the project "Kung Fu Panda" with a budget of 100 million yuan has been busy preparing. It took more than a year to finally start filming and production in early January 2004 and is scheduled to be released in May 2005. For a cg animation film starting from scratch, the speed and efficiency of the three-year production cycle is already very fast.

This is undoubtedly due to the screenwriter of Wang Yang, one of the teams, and the planning and producers provided a lot of opinions, directly solving many problems that took a long time, and preventing the Panda team from taking many wrong paths.

Producer Chris Wakekey, producer & screenwriter Jonathan Abel, producer & screenwriter Glen Berger…” Abel and Berger both lead the same position of "Kung Fu Panda" in 2008. They became famous for the 1997 Canadian TV animation comedy "The Head of the Family". With the production team and screenwriter team, who will hand over the main microphone of "Kung Fu Panda"?

This is a problem that has troubled the flames and blue sky for a long time. Not to mention the directing ability, this person first needs to know how to be weird and funny, and the style is suitable for both young and old; he also needs to know how to shoot animation, and he also needs to have enthusiasm and understanding of Chinese Kung Fu and Eastern culture, and the more the better.

Fire Blue Sky hopes to invite Xu Chengyi (Ramansh) to direct it.

Xu Chengyi was born in Hong Kong in 1963. He was born in Hong Kong. He was in the Department of Graphic Design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He initially worked as a cartoon producer at the Quantum Studio in Hong Kong. He moved to Canada in 1998 and studied computer animation production at Serdan College. He studied "Baseball Angel" in 1994, animator of "Bat Porridge" in 1995, character design and animation guidance for "Little Ant Soldier" in 1998, and "Monster Shrek" in 2001

The production supervisor, the animation production of "Monster Shrek 2" in 2004, the first deputy director..." Wang Yang also knew that Xu Chengyi was the co-director of "Monster Shrek in 2007. Xu Chengyi is the treasure of DreamWorks animation department and one of the most important members of the "Monster Shrek" team. Maybe he had a contribution to the production of "Kung Fu Panda" in DreamWorks, and maybe one day he would switch to Blue Sky Studio, but now, he can't come anyway.

If you don't invite Xu Chengyi, then you can directly invite two directors of the 2008 version of "Kung Fu Panda", John Stephenson, Mark Osborne. The question is that they are also the core members of DreamWorks and Paramount system. Now Stephenson and Xu Chengyi and others direct the animated TV comedy "Proud Dad", which will be broadcast on NBC Channel this fall; Mark Osborne directed the CG animation film "The Adventures of SpongeBob SquarePants" for Paramount, which will be released in November this year.

There is no Stephenson and Osborne again. Even if they can come here, judging from the current list of two film and television directing is blank, it is not necessarily a good thing to let them take Abao to play kung fu.

After a long time of searching for negotiation, Flame Blue Sky finally confirmed the director's candidate last summer, Steve Odcock.

"Yes, my mouth is so wide open! Uh, its eyes seem to be mocking us..." Beside the stone railing, Wang Yang looked at the SLR digital camera in his hand, and saw a close-up of a giant panda on the screen. He was so lazy and uninterested. He couldn't help but smile and dubbed it: "Silly human!!" Jessica next to him suddenly said anxiously again: "Photo take it quickly, hurry up! Oh my God, have you taken it? "She smiled with a cute face: "So cute!"

Wang Yang kept pressing the shutter, and the camera exposed flashes. The giant panda who mocked them sat next to a wooden stake, with its black and fluffy palms supporting the wooden stake, holding its head, looking silently thinking. He glanced at her, remembered something, and smiled with interest: "Sweetheart, let's adopt a baby panda!" The adoption cost is naturally nothing to the two, but he owned a giant panda in name.

"Yeah, okay!" Jessica nodded with interest. She looked at the silly panda in the garden below, clasped her palms, and her voice was very excited: "Okay, okay! Baby, what name should we give it? I don't want to call it Abao!"

"No, Abao is used when adopting it in the future." Wang Yang said with a smile and took several more photos. This was a promotional plan for "Kung Fu Panda". There was a real "Abao" growing along with the movie series, which was also very interesting. Several tourists walked by, Jessica wore the railing, rolled her eyes and thought about the name: "We have Danny, called Vanny Bonnie Manny?"

Wang Yang laughed and shrugged mysteriously: "I already have an idea, guess, tip: what we do every night." Jessica thought in confusion, looking at his ambiguous expression, as if saying "You know," she suddenly laughed: "I'm not sure, what?" With a snap, Wang Yang flashed her eyes with the camera: "Don't give up easily! Tip: Be simple in thinking, don't think so complicatedly, and be visualized."

Speaking of Abao, Wang Yang remembered some things about "Kung Fu Panda". It has been more than two months since the filming started, and I don't know how it is now.

Send kung-pour away and welcome Abao. Facing the invitation of flame, Steve Odkock was very surprised. "Kunbao punching" with a box office of 16.994 million yuan and "Kung Fu Panda" with a budget of 100 million yuan, his first idea was: "Which people in the Kung Fu Yang are looking for death?" Then Wang Yang said to him: "Kunbao, the most failure is that he is not a panda! It is because it is not Hong Kong in the 1970s.

But I was so laughing so hard, especially the big fight.”

"Heroes cherish heroes, and heroes are happy to meet each other." "Wine with friends, a thousand cups of friends", "Don't ask for birth on the same day of the same year, the same month and the same day..." In any case, after talking to Wang Yang, Steve and Odkock were a little moved. It would be great if audiences all over the world admired "Kunbao" like Shenqiyang and knew how to spoof every martial arts film! His heart, which was broken by the film critics, thundered again, and the enthusiasm for kung fu martial arts has never dissipated.

Without any reason to refuse, Odkock happily agreed to the invitation of "Kung Fu Panda", and the entertainment public educator can be temporarily tied to the flame blue sky.

Send Kunbao away and welcome Abao! The film entertainment media at that time were as confused and surprised as Odkoke. It would not be surprising if it was the screenwriter, but the director..."Why do you have to find a bad director who just lost his underwear? It's a terrible thing to give Odkoke a million yuan cost to Odkoke! Even many movie fans seemed to have seen the tragic end of "Kung Fu Panda". How much better is Abao than Kunbao?

It's much better! This is the idea of ​​the members of the Fire Blue Sky. No one was optimistic about "Ice Age" at the time, 47.6 billion; "Kung Fu Panda" will inevitably be shocking again, and it will be in the summer vacation of 2005.

"I guess the baby's name is..." sleep (sleep)? "On the feldstone road with green bamboos on both sides, the two of them laughed while walking. Before Jesse Feng finished speaking, he saw Wang Yang frowned and was about to open his mouth to speak. She hurriedly pulled him: "Wait, I know! love?love!" She said, rolling her eyes, her pretty face was full of smiles: "It must be love! or a bastard."

"Not all, it's a little bit worse." Wang Yang laughed, looked at her biting her lip and waved her hand and said, "It's almost almost! There are so many tips, you need to be visualized!" He revealed, "The baby's name is Youca, Youca. "Jessica was stunned and very interesting: "What does it mean? Is that a word? Or is it a combination of our names?"

Wang Yang stopped, looked her eyes quietly, and suddenly said, "Yes, it is a word, which means something we do every night, combining it with front and back. Haha!" Before he finished speaking, he laughed and ran forward.

”混如““杰西卡又笑又气,旁边又没有人可以揍,只好撑着腰呼出了一口气,她喊着追了上去:“可是love也可以啊!”

During the period when the two were enjoying their newlywed honeymoon sweetly and happily, many movies have made new progress. "Sin City" announced that Scarlett-Johnson will join. This sexy and hot-looking 19-year-old beauty will play the heroine Nancy; "Fantasy Four" also found a candidate for Invisible Heroes, 25-year-old Rachel-McAdams joined and officially entered the ranks of blockbusters; and 22-year-old Natalie-Potman has appeared on the set of "Stealing Hearts" which started filming in early February..."

The flame movie is a surprising new plan to protect itself from its quirky reputation as "likes to enable bad luck directors". Following "Kung Fu Panda" & Steve Reudkock, "Brokeback Mountain" & Ang Lee, Flame has recently launched "Assassin League" & John Wu, the one who made MGM and Paramount lose all his underwear.
