rising director

"Let's see when the time comes. If we have a brief chat, I can still come back at night. If I go out to sing for something, I probably won't come back."

"Drink less wine. Eat more food and have more fun."

"Then I will be lucky for you."

Wan Xiaohu ran away lazily, but the other voice actors couldn't leave. They had to hold on to their smiling faces and accept interviews from reporters, pretending to be a leaker and revealing a little bit of the movie's small details.

……

After the meet and greet, it's time for the screening. Because "Kung Fu Panda" is not a mainstream movie type, the number of scenes arranged is not very good.Either in the morning or in the evening.But it doesn't hinder the screening theater, every show is overcrowded.

""Kung Fu Panda" burns Kung Fu fever, and the Cannes screening is full of laughter!"

"The streets of Cannes are full of pandas who know kung fu, and the nationalization attracts attention."

A lot of media attention here.In particular, the reporters who came all the way from China were staring at "Kung Fu Panda".

The effect of the screening is not aimed at ordinary audiences, but at the manufacturer market, with Wan Xiaohu as the director.Occasionally communicate with manufacturers, other than that, just stare at the distribution department to look at the data.After each screening, a large number of merchants from all over the world came to sign contracts.

The distributor for theatrical release has been determined early, otherwise the schedule cannot be planned.More than half of the contracts here are peripheral product developers from all over the world. After seeing the cartoons are good, they know the business opportunities contained in them.

In just a few days, millions of animal dolls of "Kung Fu Panda" were sold, ranging from US$10 to US$280 each, and the purchase price was tens of millions of US dollars.It also let the inventory that was originally started in advance be sold out directly.

So I was very happy to contact the manufacturer again and work overtime to produce.

"Children's money is really easy to earn, and we need to increase investment in Abao's animation. Adam, we need better technology, more talents, and more scripts!" Wan Xiaohu looked at the data in the hotel, And Adam Ferguson, the general manager of Abao Animation who came to discuss business, said.

Adam Ferguson has been so busy these days that he doesn't touch the ground, and he can't stop smiling from ear to ear. The popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" is surprisingly good, so he makes a lot of money: "We are still too weak in peripheral development. Yes, when I was at Pixar, when an animated film was released, there were a lot of peripherals that could be developed, especially the construction of some theme parks, which would bring in a steady stream of income, and our achievements in this regard were almost zero.”

"We have no way to intervene in the theme parks in the United States. Adam, it's time to choose to cooperate with Disney. We have the publishing rights and build with them. What we have to do is to focus on the domestic market and let the country spread all over the country. theme park!"

"I'll hurry up and make a plan..."

Before Adam Ferguson finished speaking, his assistant came over and reported that another group of merchants had come to discuss the issue of agency sales.

After Adam left, Wan Xiaohu leaned on the sofa and rubbed his scalp.

Looks a little tired.

At this time, Jessica walked into the room, gently closed the door, walked to the sofa, and squeezed into Wan Xiaohu's arms.

Noticing Wan Xiaohu's exhaustion, he touched his face distressedly and asked, "What's wrong, Ger?"

Wan Xiaohu smiled: "Nothing."

"If there is anything you don't want to bear alone, please tell me and let me share it for you." Jessica said, putting her arms around Wan Xiaohu's neck.

Gently kissing Jessica on the forehead, Wan Xiaohu hugged her tightly, pretending to be chic: "Well, in fact, I just feel a little tired of doing business. You see, I recently talked about 3D with James Cameron. Technology, and talked with m company about the cooperation of m project. Just now, Adam also said that Abao Animation needs to launch a theme park. All these involve all aspects of the relationship, and I need to make decisions. Sometimes I feel like I have been It's like being kidnapped, I can't help myself."

"Because they all believe in your vision, you are the best." Jessica comforted.

That's a compliment that's hardly a compliment.

Because the companies currently controlled by Ruiya Tiger, Golden Harvest Entertainment, Mtime.com, Abao Animation, Sasha Entertainment, and Marvel Comics, although they are all equipped with their own heads.But when it comes to the general trend in the future, they don't see far ahead, or there is Wan Xiaohu, the "far-sighted" behind-the-scenes boss, and they are used to executing rather than making decisions.

Wan Xiaohu sometimes wants to change this situation and let these professional managers make decisions.

But it's hard to do.

3D technology, m technology, these technologies that will shine in the future, if they are not deployed in time now, they will not have the opportunity to share their benefits in the future.

And no matter how good a professional manager is, it is difficult to predict the future development of these technologies. In the final analysis, it is still inseparable from Wan Xiaohu's vision and decision-making.

Faced with Jessica's comfort, Wan Xiaohu calmed down a little. The feeling of being by his side and listening to him was very comfortable, and his fatigue was also swept away. He began to laugh and brag: "I am just too good!"

0319【A Bao, wake up】

The 60th Cannes International Film Festival held a grand awards ceremony at the Lumiere Palace on May 5.This year's award ceremony has nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu, and it has nothing to do with Chinese films. Not a single Chinese film won an award.

There is no Wan Xiaohu's share in the awards, but he still gained a lot in this film festival.

"The Country on the Bite of the Tongue" participated in the screening of the documentary unit. With a few clips, it successfully attracted a large number of documentary companies to inquire and negotiate. Thirty countries and regions have already purchased the copyright. It has been sold in 47 countries and regions, and TV stations in [-] countries and regions have purchased the copyright.

And there are still TV stations in many countries and regions who are negotiating prices.

It's not far away from Chinese delicacies setting off a storm overseas.

"Kung Fu Panda" participated in the non-competitive screening unit. After several screenings, it received a lot of applause, and manufacturers flocked to it.The peripheral development contract made Adam Ferguson sign the contract, and he almost broke his wrist while writing.Although the movie has not yet been released, dolls such as pandas, tigers, golden monkeys, raccoons, tortoises, cranes, snakes, praying mantises, and clouded leopards have already begun to be distributed around the world.

Commemorative DVDs, T-shirts, shoes and hats and other products were vigorously produced, the design of the game of the same name began, and the theme park entered the stage of site selection.

Posters are also posted at the entrances of major movie theaters around the world, and trailers of English, Japanese, and Japanese versions also appear on TVs and websites in various countries and regions.

As soon as the Cannes Film Festival ended, Wan Xiaohu rushed back to Los Angeles with his team.

The grand North American premiere will be held here.

On Sunday, May 5th, the North American premiere of "Kung Fu Panda" began at the National Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles.As an animated film with Chinese elements, this premiere is to fully demonstrate this.

Although the National Center for the Performing Arts is a Hollywood building, its name and appearance are full of national style, making it an excellent location for the premiere.Today's National Center for the Performing Arts is different from what it used to be.Because a huge panda inflatable ball hovered over the top of the Grand Theater, covering a large area of ​​sunlight overhead.

The square in front of the Grand Theater is crowded with people. A red carpet leads directly to the street outside. Several giant pandas pretending to be real people took photos with the tourists in the square.

On the stage in the middle of the square.The monks specially invited from the Shaolin Temple in China are performing eighteen kinds of martial arts. Although the sun is hot, it can’t stop the enthusiasm of the onlookers.

The time points to five o'clock in the afternoon.The paved red carpet finally ushered in the presence of the stars.

A silver-white stretched Lincoln was the first to park beside the street.

The staff hurried forward and opened the door of the back seat. A young man wearing sunglasses and a Sanqi haircut got out of the car.Suits and leather shoes, shiny reflective shoes.

The reporters who had already ambushed on both sides of the red carpet were immediately baptized with flashing lights.

"Wan Dao, Wan Dao, look this way!"

"Wan Dao, smile!"

The person who came was Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Kung Fu Panda", who ignored the reporter and covered the top edge of the car door with one hand.One hand supported the car and the other thin white hand stretched out.It turned out that the two extended Lincolns not only took Wan Xiaohu alone, Jessica Alba was also in the car.

Far more than just these two, this is a [-]-seater stretched Lincoln, and the entire creative team of "Kung Fu Panda" huddled in it drinking red wine and chatting along the way.Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, David Crossel, Zhang Yi, Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa.They all got out of the car.

Wan Xiaohu didn't care about the person behind. After he picked up Jessica Alba, he walked onto the red carpet arm in arm with Jessica.He's a slick guy.Knowing that in this kind of public occasion, no matter how intimate you are with a female celebrity, the reporters and audience will only treat it as a show.

It will not make people see that he and Jessica are a couple, but also let Jessica feel his love. I have to say that Wan Xiaohu is a little fond of the red carpet.

"Jessica! Jessica!" Even though she hasn't appeared on the big screen for several years, Jessica Alba still has a large number of fans shouting wildly around her.

Wan Xiaohu also had a large number of fans cheering.
