What do Americans think of Kung Fu Panda?

One of the cartoons, which was widely acclaimed in the United States, was the best-selling cartoon in 2008, with a global box office of 600 million dollars.

In addition, some new animation techniques, such as photography skills and narrative skills, have been developed.

The innovation of story background (although this background is not uncommon in Asia) is one of the pioneers who have taken a big step for the new generation of animation.

Action guide:

RodolpheGuenoden, a senior animator in DreamWorks, has been an amateur martial arts master for 20 years. He has practiced karate, taekwondo and Israeli military fighting, but unfortunately he has never practiced China Kung Fu. His understanding of China Kung Fu basically comes from the movies of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

One of the basic principles of his action design for Kung Fu Panda is that China Kung Fu should not be "mythologized" by western magic, nor should it be perfunctory by gorgeous slow motion. The tricks and styles of the characters must be realistic, and they must strive to be realistic and weighty. More importantly, their fighting skills must return to the primitive instinct of animals, such as the lightness and elegance of cranes, the agility and agility of monkeys (acrobatic flavor), the firmness and steadiness of tigers and mantis.

Movie highlights

Computer stunts have a new realm, the epic momentum of ultra-wide screen.

This time, the production of Kung Fu animation has brought computer stunts to a new level. In order to achieve the quick, firm and accurate movements of animal masters, animators use the most advanced computer technology to strengthen the control points on the characters, making the movements smoother, more beautiful and more compact, and bringing unprecedented visual enjoyment to the audience.

In order to show the majestic spirit of martial arts movies, this kind of movies usually adopt the CinemaScope format of 2.35: 1. This time, Kung Fu Panda also followed this tradition, bringing out an epic film sense with a broader vision and achieving a unique CG animation masterpiece.

Art director has studied China art for 8 years.

Apart from Kung Fu Panda, the story of Kung Fu Panda is set in China, and its scenery, scenery, costumes and props are full of China elements.

RaymondZibach, the artistic director, spent eight years studying the culture, art, architecture and landscape of China, in order to do every detail in the animation and faithfully reflect the characteristics of China.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero are also important reference materials for artists, so it is no wonder that the magnificent buildings in the film, such as the Hall of Heroes and the Jade Palace, all bear the shadow of these great productions.

The "Taipinggu" set in the story, with Guilin and Lijiang as the background, is the best in the world. I believe the audience in China will be particularly friendly.

The most thrilling "prison break"

With the most advanced computer stunts, well-designed characters, scenes and art, the wonderful scenes of Kung Fu Panda are one after another, and the most thrilling one is the "Prison Break" staged by the villain Snow Leopard.

In order to do a good job in the scene, the director specially invited the visual stunt experts from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull: The Kingdom of Crystal Skull and X-Men: TheLastStand to design the scene and preview the effect, so as to make this cartoon as exciting as a real-life action movie!

The prison where the snow leopard is imprisoned is also designed with originality. A vertical prison about 3,000 feet deep, inspired by the Great Wall in China and the paintings of Italian painter piranesi in the18th century. In addition, like a video game, the guards of 1 0,000 were used to deal with the prisoners of 1, which made the whole escape process extremely thrilling and brought out the snow leopard.

Panda Po's 2D Qimxy

There is also an ingenious scene at the beginning of the film. In order to distinguish between dreams and reality, this film "Dream of Po" specially adopts 2D hand-drawn animation, but it is more time-consuming and laborious than CG production. The short 2-minute clip seen on the screen actually needs 3000 paintings and needs to be completed by more than a dozen artists. It is absolutely painstaking! → Look here.

Vivid Oscar score

"Kung Fu Panda" is carefully produced and strives for perfection in all aspects. As for sound effects, VanderRyn, an Oscar-winning master who participated in Transformers, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong, was invited to take charge.

The film soundtrack also invited Oscar-winning musician HansZimmer to create epic strings with unique China color, making Kung Fu Panda a truly colorful animation masterpiece!

Everyone can be a hero.

"Kung Fu Panda is more than just a summer blockbuster.

Director JohnStevenson emphasized that their creation wanted to bring out the positive message that "everyone can be his own hero", hoping to encourage students and young people through Panda Po, as long as they stick to their dreams, they will surely succeed.

As Jack Black, the voice of Po, said, "Po is actually a big boy, so children and teenagers will have a * * * voice with this role and join his growing journey.

"At the same time, the film also brings out the truth of respecting teachers through the mentoring relationship between Po and the master. It is definitely an educational and happy animation, which is most suitable for the whole family to enjoy!

Plot introduction

The beautiful Heping Valley is somewhat similar to Wudang Mountain, because there are also a group of Wulin experts living there.

However, the difference is that the martial arts experts in Heping Valley are all animals.

Jack Black the panda may be one of the few people in Silicon Valley who can't know martial arts.

Po, a fat boy, works in a noodle restaurant opened by his father. His father hoped that Po could inherit the noodle restaurant, but Po was bent on learning martial arts and became the first kung fu master in the valley.

But this is just a distant dream for Po, who has always been lazy.

Master Oogway has a bad feeling recently: the great demon king Snow Leopard Dalong is about to break through the black prison that has trapped him for many years, and Dalong will definitely come to Heping Valley for revenge after he is released from prison.

Therefore, the Peace Valley will immediately convene a martial arts conference to elect representatives to fight against Taro.

I am most optimistic about the five masters in the valley: Master Jiao Hu, Master Zhu Snake, Master Monkey, Master Crane and Master Mantis.

These five masters compete on the martial arts platform built by Little Master and Little Panda.

Po certainly won't let go of such a lively scene, and he is ready to take a good position in the early morning, but it backfired. Because Po was born obese, he had a great effort to climb the scene of the championship and missed a lot of good shows.

But when Master Roshi announced the winner, Po finally appeared.

Bao, who just wanted to be a happy spectator, was inexplicably taken a fancy to by Master Roshi at the Wulin Congress and became the representative of Heping Valley who would fight with Dalong. This result shocked the master.

Because this is providence, the owner must prove Po's qualification.

But it's a fact that Po doesn't know martial arts, so it's the biggest challenge to turn this fat panda into a martial arts master in a short time.

At the same time, the five masters, that is, Po's brothers and sisters, treat Po in various ways with various mentality.

When Master Panda was desperate, Master Tortoise affirmed Po's strength with a firm attitude, believing that he would definitely become the master of martial arts secrets! In an accident, Master Panda saw Po's potential and decided to find out.

Master Panda used a special teaching method to turn Po into a martial arts master in a short time. After Po got the real martial arts secret, he opened it and was surprised to find that it was empty.

So, the panda master decided to deal with the snow leopard himself, and let Po and his apprentice lead the people in Pinggu to escape.

On the way to escape, Po's father told him that there is no secret recipe for his ancestral noodle soup, and the secret of good taste is the noodles themselves! Po suddenly thought that the empty one could reflect his own cheats. He suddenly understood that there was no secret book at all. The secret book meant that the highest state of martial arts was himself! So he decided to go back and help the little panda master defeat Dalong!

After fierce fighting, Po defeated Dalong, saved the valley and brought peace to the valley with his understanding of martial arts and martial arts taught by his master.

What will this animated film with China characteristics look like in the hands of two screenwriters, jonathan aibel and Glenn Berger, who have no screenwriter experience at all, and it also murders many brain cells.

Now, when the film is about to come out, it is obvious that these two writers and producers, who have cooperated sincerely for many years and are favored by awards including the Emmy Award, have been well received by many fans after the company released their wonderful films.

In their works, the story of the film has already happened in China, and the mountains stretch on and on, just like the once world-famous traditional landscape painting in China, showing a hazy and charming atmosphere.

Small audiences think that the 3D cartoon Elk King is like Kung Fu Panda.

Yesterday (19), the 3D animated blockbuster "Elk King" premiered in China Film Group, and more than 20 mother and son were invited as the first audience to watch the film.

"Elk King" was nominated for this year's China Watch Award and Golden Rooster Award, which made the audience full of praise yesterday.

Many young viewers said that the kung fu in Elk King reminded them of Po in Kung Fu Panda.

Role profile

Po, the giant panda: Po was originally an apprentice in a noodle restaurant, but he dreamed of being invincible in the world.

The God of Destiny really took care of him, and Po unexpectedly shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the whole valley: resisting the invasion of evil Taro.

Although Po is only a novice in Kung Fu, he doesn't give up easily and tries to prove his strength to those who oppose him ... In the process, he finds that his greatest weakness may be the source of his greatest strength.

The prototype is China's national treasure panda.

Golden Monkey: Friendly, humorous and enthusiastic. The Monkey King is the most approachable of the five Kung Fu masters.

He concealed his extraordinary military talent with an easy-going attitude.

Monkeys like to joke, and they are very happy every time they watch pandas learn Kung Fu ... The idea of "Five Heroes in the Valley of Peace" ("Five Heroes in the Central Plains") may come from the images of China Kung Fu "Five-Shaped Boxing" and Shaolin Boxing.

The golden monkey is based on the monkey fist.

Tigress of South China: Tigress is the most powerful and youngest of the five kung fu masters.

Basically, you can find all the heroic qualities you can imagine in her: foresight, courage, fearlessness, heroism … cherish every day.

She thinks everyone's expectation of Po is a sad joke.

But no matter how powerful people are, they will inevitably make mistakes. Tigress realized that fate is not always what you want.

You didn't go to the movies because of Tiger Zhou, did you?

Crane: Although Crane Man is a man, he is the "mother hen" in the team.

He is good at resolving personal conflicts and is the most thoughtful kung fu master among them.

If possible, he will avoid any conflict; But if fighting is inevitable, he will do everything possible to win.

Red-crowned cranes can also represent our country.

Viper: The Vanity Viper is a fickle peerless warrior. First, flirtation with infinite charm, and then attack like a storm.

Her powerful ability to confuse lies not only in magic, but also in her strength, her evil nature, her harshness ... and then she launched a deadly attack.

So it is not difficult to understand why she can always get anything she wants.

Mantis: Mantis: Mantis may be the smallest of the five kung fu masters, but he never admits it: strong, agile and dexterous.

He always sympathizes with Po's experience, and every time he brings a little humor to help Po out of trouble.

Nothing can scare his brave little heart … except the mother mantis.

Look up the encyclopedia of entomology and you will know why.

), probably because of mantis boxing.

Raccoon Master: Kung Fu Master is the best kung fu coach in China, and is committed to cultivating the "king of kings" kung fu master.

But Excellence does not mean perfection-he is a strict tutor, but he is always troubled by his past mistakes.

Po thinks he is "the least Zen master".

But this did not prevent him from training a weak panda who made noodles into a kung fu warrior who could protect the valley from Taro.

Tyrone: Taro is a huge fan of his own.

Once upon a time, everyone thought he was the greatest soldier in history-of course, he believed it more.

When people realized his greedy ambition, Taro revealed his dark nature: he swept the whole village.

Finally, he was put into the unbreakable Chugom prison and spent 20 years.

There, Taro waited for an opportunity to escape and go out to end the war he started 20 years ago.

Snow leopards are also quite fierce.
