If there is a group chat in the National Day movie of 2019, the dialogue is like this: "My Motherland and Me": I will give a gift to the power of filmmakers across the country! "Climber": I present Wu Jing's power as a gift! "Chinese Captain": I present the power of the Chinese hero captain! "Eight Bai": (Diving...) "Snowman Romance" and "Gourmet Adventure Hero Stew" joined the group chat, they are not friends with the members of the group "Climber": Brother, it seems that two strange people have joined Let's get together! Fuck, the score is higher than me! "Captain of China": Yes, brother, the reputation is higher than me! "Me and My Motherland": Huh? ! "Eight Hundred": Huh? ! "My Motherland and Me": "Yabai" don't be a repeater. "Yabai": (continue diving...) "Snowman Romance": Hello, everyone, I am... "Climber": I broke the box office 600 million!

"My Motherland and Me": Akai, Abai, Ahu, Alu, Azheng, Ahao, Ayedu Good performance, my goal is 7 billion at the box office! "Gourmet Adventure Hero Brawl":... "Yai Hundred":... "Snowman Romance" exits the group chat. The 2019 National Day file seems to be mixed into a strange movie this long holiday. Whoever has not seen the gift of the "Big Three" I’m embarrassed to greet people when I go out. The high level of investment, line-up, and production level of the three works, and the explosive points, completely subverted our previous definition of the main theme movie. "My Motherland and Me" cannot be divided for a moment; "Captain China" PK "Captain Sally"; "Climber" continues to fight the wolf-style phrase "Our own mountain, climb up, let the world see ", not letting an inch of land, climb to the top for the country... the audience will take what they need and enjoy the feast of images.
National Day Gifts The Big Three are now in the three movie theaters all over the country, occupying the right time, location, and time. A Sino-US co-produced animation "Snowman Romance" also quietly mixed in. Dare to encounter the motherland, captain, and climbers directly, this courage, admire Sanlian. If
hadn't appeared in McDonald's IP cooperation, I am afraid that we would have ignored the existence of "Snowman" in the ticketing software.
"The Snowman" McDonald's IP cooperation can be bought by McDonald's copyright film, it should not be too bad. This animated film is co-produced by DreamWorks Animation SKG and the Chinese joint venture Pearl Studio. DreamWorks Animation has produced "Kung Fu Panda", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Madagascar" and other popular 3D animation series. The core production team of "Snowman" is all from the American DreamWorks, and the standard is absolutely guaranteed.
Jill Culton, the female director of the main film of DreamWorks Animation, jumped from Pixar and has participated in such works as "Toy Story", "Insect Crisis", "Monster Electric Company" and "Hotel Wizard" . The role of the cowgirl Jessie in "Toy Story 2" is her proud work.
Jessie co-director Todd Wilderman (Todd Wilderman) has been working for DreamWorks, this is his directorial debut. As a joint venture between DreamWorks and China, Oriental DreamWorks has participated in the production of "How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Kung Fu Panda 3" and the derivative film "Penguins of Madagascar". In the past, Oriental DreamWorks only supported the already formed DreamWorks animation. "Snowman" has become a new universe opened by the cooperation of the two companies. Judging from the setting at the end of the movie, there is a high probability that there will be a sequel, forming a "snowman" series.
Oriental DreamWorks Although the cast of American DreamWorks "Pocahontas" is not as luxurious as the gift of the Big Three, it is also carefully selected for Chinese audiences. The English dubbing of Girl Art is played by the Chinese star Wang Keying of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the unique voice of Agent Skye can be easily heard. There are also banana sister Sarah Paulson (Sarah Paulson), and the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" old ladyTai's actor, Tsai Chin (Tsai Chin), joined in. Mandarin dubbing gathers big names such as Zhang Zifeng, Chen Feiyu, Wan Qian, and Cai Ming. There are both flow niche and acting, but they can be warm and funny, and the Chinese lineup is also stable. The cast of
dared to challenge the gift film in the 2019 National Day file, and the strength has been tested. "Snowman" made its debut at this year's Toronto Film Festival and tested the waters of word-of-mouth. As soon as it was released, it received rave reviews. Many film critics consider it to be another animation masterpiece of DreamWorks after "How to Train Your Dragon", and even a continuation of Spielberg's classic film "E.T.". Its Rotten Tomatoes Index has also performed very well. It has maintained a high freshness rate of 81% so far. After its release in North America on September 27, it will be the weekly box office champion.
"Snowman Romance" Rotten Tomatoes Index Although "Snowman Romance" has DreamWorks innate genes, a good lineup, and a good reputation, it wants to break through at this time and can only curse reluctantly: I am too difficult, quit group chat. The first one was untimely: From a microscopic point of view, to catch up with this special eleven, the release time was untimely. Among the Big Three, the box office of "Captain China" counterattacked "The Climber", but the reviews were mixed. , Word-of-mouth trend is down, whether it can hold the 7-point mark is still unknown. "The Climber" unexpectedly ranked third at the box office. No matter how high the "capital content" is, it can't save the lack of director's level. The score has already fallen below 7.0, and the momentum of driving high and going low seems irreversible. In contrast, "Snowman" has a rating of 7.4, second only to "My Motherland and Me", ranking second in the National Day file. But the score is only the result, no matter how good the score is, it does not mean the number of people going to the cinema. Although "Snowman" has a high score, its base is not an order of magnitude compared with the Big Three.
"Snowman" rating number
"Me and My Motherland" rating number
"Chinese Captain" rating number
"Climber" rating number can be seen from the figure above, this year 11, the mood of the national audience They are all mobilized by the National Day atmosphere, and there are three movies to choose from. "Snowman" is not innately weak, it just appeared at the wrong time. Chinese and foreign co-productions are finally normal, but Chinese movies have risen. The second time of this movie is that it is not at the right time: macroscopically speaking, when Chinese movies have risen, you will come. Most bad movies, single type and superficial, are the two biggest problems. Single genre: Whether it is the well-reviewed "Kung Fu Panda", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or the poorly reviewed "King Fu King" and "The Great Wall", what China once contributed to international movies was kung fu and martial arts. A large number of Chinese and foreign co-produced films are martial arts action films, and the plots are basically challenging the audience's IQ. The "Mystery of Dragon Card" that just hit the street this year still doesn't believe in evil and continues to follow this bad road. The result is obvious. Flow on the surface: Flow on the surface is another big problem. In the past, Chinese-foreign co-productions should be regarded as Chinese-foreign celebrity co-productions. Regardless of whether the story and the director pass, and whether there is a sense of CP between the actors, the Chinese and foreign parties have each contributed several superstars together to ensure box office appeal. . The above two problems have been greatly improved from the 2018 "Megatooth", and then the "White Snake: Origin" released this year has been completely resolved. With the increasing level of Chinese film production, Chinese and foreign co-productions are no longer limited to kung fu and action, and the cooperation model has also changed from star-oriented to content-oriented. In particular, the production of "White Snake: Origin", one of the works on the rise of Guoman, was completed by the Chinese team. Warner only paid money and channels, which avoided the problem of foreign parties' incomprehension of Chinese culture. Judging from a score of 7 or more, "Snowman Romance" is above the pass line, and the biggest highlight of the movie is that the foreigners finally understand China this time, and no longer repeat the hard-knit and awkward chats of Chinese and Western cultures. The scene design, art props and even very grounded. The story of "Snowman" is particularly simple, and it can even be said to be a bit of a routine. It has the same template as "E.T." and "How to Train Your Dragon": a kind boy→discover a monster→a villain selfishly chases a monster→a boy protects a monster.
The same story line as "E.T." and "How to Train Your Dragon". The kind and rebellious girl learned about growth, friendship, love and family in the process of sending the snowman back to the Himalayas. The 16-year-old girl Yi dreams of saving enough money to travel around China one day. The places she wants to check in include Qiandao Lake, Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, Gobi Northwest, Shangri-La and Leshan Giant Buddha. But the death of her father caused tensions in her relationship with her mother and grandma.Travel plans can only be hidden in my heart and never shared with my family. The snowman "Big Mao" caught by the evil scientist escaped from the laboratory and happened to arrive at the roof of the girl artist. Boss Bo and Dr. Zara, the bad scientist, are lustful, and they only want to rely on the snowman for fame and fortune. Xiaoyi is pure-hearted. She wants to help the snowman return to his home in the Himalayas, and then embarks on a journey of laughter, tears, and thrills with "going home" and "hunting". In the process of fighting against bad scientists all the way, in the in-depth contact with neighbors Ajun and Pengpeng, and in the mutual care with the snowman "Big Mao" all the way, Young Girl Yi suddenly discovered that she was taking risks where she once wanted to go. I punched the cards one by one during the journey, not only did my wish come true, but the knot in my heart caused by the death of my father also opened. Xiaoyi finally stopped resenting her mother and grandma, and calmly accepted the lack of her family, but gained more love and friendship.
The knot of the girl art in the journey finally opened. If the Big Three of the National Day started from the perspective of "national", "Snowman" cuts from the perspective of "home", telling a very heartwarming and healing family joy story. Among the three tribute movies in the National Day file, "Captain China" and "Climber" are actually not suitable for children to watch, while "My Motherland and Me" is a direct push-type education class. But if the film is positioned as a child-oriented film, the story is the most vivid way of education. To teach children unity and friendship, it is better to read "Shuker and Beta"; to prevent children from lying, they should watch "The Wolf is Coming" several times; to develop their intelligence and expand their thinking, "A Break for the Smart", "Ah "Fanti's Story" is a classic of entertaining and teaching. Different from the grand patriotic teaching of the three tribute films, the story of "Snowman" has a close combination of educational significance and fun, and the completion is excellent. It is very suitable for children to watch. Movies can let children understand the love between family members through laughter and laughter, and they can also have the courage to overcome the frustration and powerlessness caused by the lack of family. In addition, there are a large number of sections where Xiaoyi plays the violin in the film. Music has become the bond between Xiaoyi and his father. Maybe the children watch these clips of playing the violin and enjoy music cram school. The Chinese element "Snowman Romance"'s understanding of the current China is absolutely worthy of praise. Oriental DreamWorks played a key role. Even better than the film narrative is the understanding of China in "Snowman". The protagonist Xiaoyi lives in a typical big city in China, but her family is just an ordinary family. Xiaoyi, mother, grandma, grandma, grandparents, and neighbors A Jun and Peng Peng live in an ordinary residential building. The corridor without decoration, the face of the small shop on the street, the steamed buns steamed by grandma... the scene is extremely realistic and grounded. The personality of Ah Jun in Xiaoyi’s home movie is the state of young people in China today: they look at their cellphones as fate, they are extremely anxious when there is no signal, they are taking selfies at any time, and they have to post everything they do. The most worth mentioning is the detailed restoration of the beauty of China by DreamWorks' 3D technology. The scenic spots in the movie’s private collections include Qiandao Lake, Huangshan Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha, etc. These places are perfectly presented by the production team. During November, if you don't have time to play, or you want to avoid the crowds of scenic spots, you can also follow Xiaoyi on a cloud trip on the screen.
Huangshan
Qiandao Lake According to the media’s interview with director Jill Carlton, this time the "Snowman" has such a deep understanding of China that Oriental DreamWorks played a decisive role. For example, in a movie of a dinner scene, after the American DreamWorks production is completed, Eastern DreamWorks will give advice. Eastern DreamWorks believes that Chinese families have to have several dishes every time they eat, instead of a Western bowl of salad and a plate of master. The dishes are so simple. Therefore, after repeated communication and repeated revisions between the two parties, a fragment that conforms to the Chinese family traditions was presented. Based on the above information, as a Chinese-foreign co-production film, "Snowman" this time perfectly solved the single type and superficial problems of the previous co-production films, and it is a masterpiece. If the movie was released in China 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago, even if it meets the schedule for domestic films to be released together, the response will not be so Buddhist. The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the general environment of Chinese films has been very different from that of 5 or 10 years ago. On the one hand, Chinese films have made rapid progress, while Hollywood has reached a certain height, and it is difficult to make a disruptive breakthrough in the short term. In China, in the beginning of 2019, "Wandering Earth", which opened the door to domestic science fiction, was released. "Wolf Warriors 2" and "Operation Red Sea" created a new level of domestic theme. "White Snake: Origin" plus the popular "Nezha" , With extremely high production level and story creativityCause a phenomenon-level event. "Me and My Motherland", "Captain of China" and "The Climber" continue this momentum and fight hard. "Snowman" is released at this time, it is difficult to set off the same wave of "Flying House" 10 years ago, because the Chinese film market has already produced enough high-quality domestic films. On the other hand, on the other side of the film itself, the aesthetic level of Chinese audiences has also risen to an unprecedented height. To borrow from Google’s famous saying: It’s not enough to be excellent, you must be excellent to be irreplaceable. This sentence is also very suitable for China's current film market. Only an excellent movie audience can give you room for survival. The dead spirit of "Nezha" is a good example. The negative textbook also has "Shanghai Fortress". A director was scolded and apologized by the audience for making the film too bad, and the film was withdrawn early. This kind of thing is probably rare in the world. Therefore, when "Snowman Romance" is cold, we cannot unilaterally rely on this time of National Day. Because it's not enough to be excellent, it is necessary to be excellent to gain a foothold in the increasingly powerful Chinese film market. There is a big enemy in front, and a chasing duck behind. The last time of the movie: I thought that there would be a chance to break through the National Day file, but I didn't expect more opponents like gods to be on the battlefield. Not to mention the extension of the key to the Big Three for the National Day gift, it is estimated that these three movies will continue until the Lunar New Year file and continue to harvest the box office. Even if their threats are eliminated, all the chasers behind "Yeti" are crushed. October 18 "Gemini Killer" Gemini Man Although the film's Rotten Tomatoes Index is surprising, it is the latest work of Director Ang Lee, with the latest high-tech and blessings from the Emperor. Even if the movie is as bad as the North American word of mouth shows, watching how the master rushes to the street is a big hit.
35% of the extremely low freshness, it is a sweat for Li Ang. October 18, "ONE PIECE STAMPEDE" ONE PIECE STAMPEDE How many fans, how many people have watched this movie, and it has already started painting 8 Points or more. One Piece’s fans are too powerful to explain. "One Piece: Operation Frenzy" October 18, "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" Another masterpiece in the Disney Princess universe. Judging from the short trailer, the amount of information and sense of conflict in "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" It is much better than the first one, and the younger age setting will directly compete with "Snowman". "Maleficent 2" October 25th "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood Quentin's new immortal work was introduced, so that Chinese fans have a collective climax. Needless to say. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" October 25 "Liberation · Final Rescue" is still a tribute movie. Although it did not rush to the National Day file, it will still maintain a certain lineup, squeezing the filming space of "The Snowman". "Liberation · Final Rescue" November 1 "The Child of the Weather" A new work directed by Makoto Shinkai, the son of Tianji, "Your Name." After the success in China and the "Xin Haicheng Filter" phenomenon, his works have become a must-have for screenings. In addition to the above-mentioned must-see movies in "Weather Children", there will also be re-releases of "The Pianist on the Sea" from November to December, Diao Yinan's "The Gathering at Southern Station", Lou Ye's "Lanxin Theater", and Ip Man series In the final game, "Ip Man 4" and other highly anticipated movies line up. Each of the above is enough to make "The Snowman" shiver. If you have watched the Big Three and want to find a movie suitable for children to watch, watch it as soon as possible.
