At this time when The Return of the Great Sage is becoming popular, Lu Yao receives invitations from various media reporters every day. I don’t know how many media want to interview Li Shuyao, interview the entire production team, and want to get behind-the-scenes information on the first song. Materials produced.
There are even many up owners who want to interview Li Shuyao. After all, many up owners in the film and television area have not only supported Li Shuyao in the news, but also directly produced edited video recommendations. Some up owners also want to use the method of interviewing her. Get a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking.
Unlike the previous producer of The Return of the Great Sage, Li Shuyao has a certain degree of popularity in his own right, and he also spans multiple fields. He has a very high reputation in the fields of music, e-sports, animation, etc., and he can do it all. honors and works.
And they are basically top-notch works in the industry.
This is indeed quite amazing, and it is also a point that can be explored and hyped.
After all, one or two geniuses are hyped up every year, but they don’t seem to have many impressive results. At most, they participate in some competitions or have some academic qualifications. It sounds scary, but...it seems far away. Everyone is far away.
No one knows if there is anything fishy in it.
But Li Shuyao’s real achievements are here. Not to mention those crazy chart-topping songs and world championships, she can now be said to be a big director with a box office of 1 billion. Although compared with those crazy billions of box office No, but in terms of animation movies in China, they are already number one.
Even foreign animation movies cannot achieve such high box office in China.
This has nothing to do with economics or anything like that. It’s mainly a matter of positioning. In China, as long as they hear it’s a cartoon, everyone thinks it’s for children.
But the return of the Great Sage has gradually broken this inherent thought.
Firstly, the image of the Great Sage is basically known to everyone in China. Even if it is a cartoon, everyone will buy it if it is said to be Sun Wukong.
Secondly, it is well-produced and will not give you the cheap feeling of a pure cartoon. From the painting style to the special effects, it is very mature. Of course, it is also because the money raised is basically spent on the special effects, so there is no production in the later stage. A huge amount of money was spent on publicity. Although it was promoted, it was still far behind those films that spent hundreds of millions to promote.
Well, some even spend hundreds of millions on publicity, hoping that everyone will know that this film is released.
Thirdly, the plot is pleasing to the eye. The great sage is more down-to-earth and makes everyone feel very friendly. Everyone likes some funny and tsundere characters, which is in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people. It is also crisp and powerful.
Finally, Li Shuyao’s original fighting scenes are so exciting. She incorporated the martial arts moves she learned from teacher Han Liang into the animation, and because she drew them, the quality even beats the fighting scenes in some current live-action TV series. play.
then……
Li Shuyao was praised by CCTV and then directly received an interview invitation from CCTV.
There was no need to go anywhere, and it wasn't a talk show, so the reporter came directly to their studio for the interview. The conference room that had been prepared for a long time finally came into use.
"How did you create such a wonderful fight scene?" the reporter said to Li Shuyao with a smile.
"Speaking of fighting scenes, there is actually a difference between the fighting scenes we present and actual combat."
Li Shuyao, who was forced into a professional attire by Lu Yao and Fang Xuening, and then put on beautiful makeup, sat on the sofa and smiled:
"Of course, we all know that whether it is a movie or an animation, it is actually processed to present a richer and better experience to the audience."
"Well, I know a little bit about this kung fu, and I also went to consult a professional martial arts teacher. Yes, it is Teacher Han Liang in our martial arts instructor. She is also my personal martial arts master, so this time there are many martial arts in it The movements are all adapted from actual combat, which will make the game more enjoyable."
"Oh..." The reporter lady nodded: "It can be seen that you paid great attention to these details when making this animation."
"Yes." Li Shuyao also nodded: "After all, as a movie, especially an animated movie, it does not have the acting skills of actors or anything like that. It relies purely on painting and special effects. So a refreshing fight scene can bring excitement to the audience. It has a strong visual impact and can express some of the emotions in the audience’s hearts.”
"So it's actually very stress-relieving, right?" the reporter said with a smile.
"That's right." Li Shuyao said: "Whether it is an entertainment product or a cultural product, in addition to the artistry it carries, it must also be entertaining. In particular, our movie will be more entertaining and can I think it’s good to make the audience happy and let everyone express some of the unhappiness or sadness they have accumulated in their hearts.”
"Well, it does feel very refreshing when watching it."
The reporter lady nodded and continued to ask:
"So, what prompted you to choose this subject? Because we saw that your previous film "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain" was also very popular. If you release the big movie "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain" at this time, maybe the early publicity will be better Some."
"Yep."
Li Shuyao smiled slightly. If it was before, she actually didn't know how to answer this question. Maybe she could only say that she had prepared something a long time ago, but now she has a more perfect answer.
"There are actually many reasons why I chose the Return of the Great Sage."
"First of all, the image of the Monkey King is very special to Chinese people. We grew up listening to the stories of the Monkey King, and we all admire the Monkey King in our hearts, just like Jiang Liu'er in the movie. We grew up listening to the Monkey King's stories. I like the Great Sage, so it’s very much like doing a piece of the Great Sage in my mind.”
"In addition, there are actually other reasons. I also look forward to the return of the hero in my heart one day."
"Oh? May I ask, who is your hero?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Well, I believe everyone will have one or two heroes in their hearts since childhood." Li Shuyao smiled and did not say it clearly. If his parents could see it, they would know that they were the ones he was talking about.
For children, parents are their first heroes.
Li Shuyao highlighted something serious today. After all, he is a reporter from CCTV, and he came with a camera. Although he may not be able to appear on TV, he can at least post it online.
The two talked a lot about the behind-the-scenes stories of the animation production. Li Shuyao also showed her many of her own hand-drawn drawings. Looking at the stacks of paper drawings, the reporter couldn't help but marvel. stand up.
This was painted in two or three months. It is too strong.
"Finally, I remember if you are going to release a new album. Everyone has been looking forward to this album for a long time."
"Ah, yes..." Li Shuyao laughed and said, "I originally planned to post it at the end of last year, but I was busy with the animation at that time, and then it has been postponed until now. In July, during the summer vacation, this The new album will be released soon.”
"Is it about that trip?"
"Yes, I basically wrote them down during my travels." Li Shuyao nodded.
"Then I really have to look forward to it."
"Ha ha……"
