Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

After the warm-up, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

At the beginning, the competition for several technical surname awards was not very fierce, and it was not until the best soundtrack that there was some feeling of competition between you and me.

There are five nominations for the best soundtrack, including the animated feature film Little Mermaid produced by Disney, three live-action movies such as the comedy movie Warm Family, and the Rebirth of Qiao Lang, and one animation flower produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio Mulan.

The focus of the competition for the best soundtrack is on the two animated feature films.

These two animated feature films can be said to be equal in terms of the quality of the soundtrack, film investment or box office revenue.

The Little Mermaid is Disney's last hand-drawn cartoon. The film uses thousands of different colors as the background pictures, drawing a total of more than one million pictures.

This is also the largest cartoon produced by Disney since Fantasia "Fantasia" (1940). The two-minute scene of the storm alone took more than a year to complete with 10 special effects artists.

The director team insisted that tens of millions of bubbles must be drawn by hand rather than copied.This is a very human work, and the final work was undertaken by a Chinese company in Beiping.

At the beginning, Disney wanted to use a special camera to shoot at the same time. As a result, the world-famous multi-faceted camera was too large and bulky, and all efforts failed.

In the end, this special camera had to be sub-leased to other companies.

In the 1980s, Broadway-style musicals gradually faded with the mainstream replacement of the movie market, and Disney animation featuring music songs as a movie also faced a big bottleneck.

Before the production of this cartoon, Disney had undergone intense internal discussions. Many senior executives felt that musical-style cartoons had gradually lost the market. The Little Mermaid estimated that the investment was too large and it would be difficult to recover the cost.

But in the end, more senior executives were unwilling to end Disney's traditional advantage project and supported the production of The Little Mermaid.

In order to resolve the predicament of musical films, Disney recruited musical creators and Howard Ashman to find the real problem, which is the integration of song music and plot.

Therefore, the plot and music are closely integrated in the production process of The Little Mermaid, rather than working separately from each other and finally getting together.

And in terms of plot, Disney changed the original tragic ending into a happy reunion, and added many vivid characters to portray the little mermaid Ariel as Disney’s first heroine with modern personality.

Disney staff even joked that if Walt Disney is alive, she will never allow a girl like Ariel to run away.

As for Sebastian the Red Crab, Disney was originally designed to be a serious and honest court minister, but after joining the assignment with Howard Ashman, he changed it to a funny and talented musician. This is exactly what A successful performance of the close operation of music and plot, creating satisfactory results.

The result of this production was a great success after the film was released.

In North America, the box office was madly at the box office of 111 million US dollars, and the global box office was as high as 211 million US dollars.

The Hua Mulan produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio is also well-made and has achieved outstanding results.

In order to make the film shoot in a Chinese style, DreamWorks animators carefully studied the tricks of Chinese martial arts.

The company has hired a large number of writers, historians, and artists from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to conduct repeated research and review on the script, scenes, and modeling of the film to maintain its Chinese characteristics and original spirit.The whole film has a strong style of Chinese ink painting.

In terms of role arrangement, the supporting role of Mushu Dragon, a clown, is equivalent to the monster in "Aladdin". While helping the protagonist gag around, he also supports the drama structure as a contrasting mirror.

The two major war scenes in the second half of the film belong to children's action movies, with fierce fighting but not the slightest smell of blood.

The soundtrack of this movie uses a variety of oriental instruments and many Chinese melodies.This is the first time that Chinese elements have been used as the theme of a movie in the field of Hollywood animation.

Of course, considering that the investor and screenwriter Qiao Feng is Chinese, it is not surprising that the theme is Chinese elements.

In the end, the mysterious and ancient story of the East and the strong feminist consciousness embodied by Hua Mulan's military service on behalf of her father made this film a great success when it was released last summer.

Costing tens of millions of dollars, Hua Mulan, which took two years to gather the hard work and talents of hundreds of artists, cut the box office of 150 million US dollars in North America alone, and the global box office exceeded 300 million US dollars.

These two strong films did not collide on the schedule, but they did collide at the Oscars.

And this best soundtrack award is the only Academy Award nomination for the two films.

One can imagine how fierce the competition between the two films for this award is.

"I listened, it seems that everyone is more optimistic about the Little Mermaid winning the prize." When Steve Martin, who played the new father-in-law, came to the stage to present the best soundtrack award, Gong Li whispered when the camera was not available. Qiao Feng said in his ear.

"Cut, disgusting." Qiao Feng curled his lips to express disdain.

"Uh." Gong Li has been in the circle, thinking what's wrong. This is, even if it is a competitor, it is impossible to say that people are so disgusting.

Seeing Gong Li blinking his big eyes and looking at herself in confusion, Qiao Feng leaned against her and said, "All fairy tales are deceptive. You don't know the origin of this little mermaid story. If you knew it, you would say it too. disgusting."

Qiao Feng smiled maliciously. He just felt that Mulan couldn't win the prize because he was not used to it. Why can the Little Mermaid win the prize?

Why?

Could it be that it is the daughter of the very famous Andersen Fairy Tale Sea?

Humph, what fairy tales, that are all deceptive. Lao Tzu is a person who has been baptized by Disney anti-fairy tale movies in the 21st century.

Gong Li continued to blink, meaning you tell me why this story comes from, why it makes me sick.

Qiao Feng looked down on the stage and saw that Steve Martin was still introducing the candidate films, and the camera lens was also facing Martin. Then he said to Gong Li: "The Little Mermaid was actually given to a man by Andersen. A love letter written. Andersen fell in love with this man named Edward Colin, but failed to confess, so he wrote "The Little Mermaid" to imply this relationship. The Little Mermaid and humans cannot be together, just as he can't get Colin... ..."

"What, a love letter to a man?" Gong Li suddenly felt that his three views were ruined.
