Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Upon learning that Zhao Ye had arrived, everyone hurried out to greet him.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhao Ye said that he would go to the screening room to watch the animated movie "The Lion King" first.

Zhao Ye was very curious about the difference between "The Lion King" shot by Shanghai Art Film Studio and "The Lion King" shot by Disney.

Soon, everyone arrived at the screening room.

"Boss, "The Lion King" is definitely one of the most classic animated films in history. In order to produce this animated film, our studio used thousands of people and took a total of 4 years!!!" Producer Chang Xu Xiang Ming introduced to Zhao Ye with some excitement.

Zhao Ye nodded and said with an expectant tone: "Well, very good, making a movie should be about excellence and making people start playing. I am still looking forward to "The Lion King" and strive to be released simultaneously around the world!! !”

If the "Lion King" movie is good, then it is expected that Hollywood in the United States will not be willing to give up this opportunity to make money.

In addition, Wujiang Group has a strong international influence, and even Hollywood is not willing to offend it easily.

As VCD became popular around the world, Hollywood paid more attention to the Wujiang Group, and the relationship gradually changed from hostility to cooperation.

VCD copyright income has become one of the main sources of income for major Hollywood film and television companies.

China Computer and Hongmeng systems cannot enter the US market, but this does not mean that other products of Wujiang Group cannot enter the US market. Products such as Kirin series chips, Kunpeng chips, Tomahawk game consoles, and Gameboy are all selling well in the United States.

The lights in the screening room went out and the big screen lit up.

The movie "The Lion King" mainly tells the story of Mufasa, the king of the "Land of Glory", who welcomes the birth of his son Simba. He tries hard to train Simba as his successor, but he doesn't realize that his younger brother Scar secretly covets him. King's throne. Scar designed to kill Mufasa, and also made little Simba think that he caused his father's accidental death, forcing him to leave his hometown. Simba, who was deeply guilty and in despair about his future, met his friends Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. They tell it to learn to abandon the past and live in the present. However, as an adult, Simba reunites with his childhood sweetheart, the lioness Nana, and once again realizes the responsibility he bears. After some struggle, it decided to return to its hometown, face the past calmly, and regain its position as king!

Zhao Ye soon discovered that the painting style of this version of "The Lion King" is a little different from Disney's "The Lion King". It actually incorporates ink, shadow puppets, decorations, etc., and is full of freehand style that uses form to depict God. It has strong Japanese aesthetic, cute, realistic and other painting style characteristics.

In terms of music, a large number of traditional Chinese music forms are used, such as Peking Opera, ethnic music and other art forms.

In about two hours, Zhao Ye watched the entire movie.

The plot is very touching, and there are a lot of laughs in the middle. It was basically filmed based on the script provided by Zhao Ye.

In terms of painting style, there’s not much to say. Although it’s not quite the same as the Disney version of “The Lion King,” it’s very nice.

Zhao Ye frowned slightly. He felt something was wrong. He recalled the animation just now and suddenly discovered that the biggest problem in the entire animated movie was the music.

"The Lion King" is intended for global users, so it is best to use an English song as the theme song.

Perhaps it was because the theme song of the Disney version of "The Lion King" left such a deep impression on Zhao Ye that he felt something was missing.

In the previous life, the theme song of "The Lion King" was a song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". Combined with the animation plot, it touched countless people at one time.

Without this song, the animated movie "The Lion King" would lose a lot of color.

Zhao Ye was more confused at this time.

Obviously, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" has not yet been born. In its previous life, this work was tailor-made for "The Lion King".

Affected by the butterfly effect, even if the original composer of the song is invited, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" may not be produced.

"Boss, is there anything about this animated movie that makes you dissatisfied?" Xu Xiangming asked when he saw Zhao Ye frowning.

Zhao Ye said: "This animated film will be aimed at a global audience, so it lacks an English theme song. Moreover, I want a more sensational English song, and then apply the song to the lion Simba in the plot. In the scene where Nana and Nana don’t talk to each other, but use their emotions to feel each other’s performance!”

Xu Xiangming nodded and said immediately: "Boss, if that's the case, then we can invite European and American musicians to write lyrics and music specifically for our "The Lion King"!"

"Well, just do as you say!" Zhao Ye responded, that was all he could do for the time being. He hoped that they could create a song that satisfied him. He couldn't write the song himself.

Zhao Ye shook his head secretly. He didn't know how to write songs. At most, he could sing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".

At this time, Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of his girlfriend in his previous life. At that time, in 1995, "The Lion King" was released in China, and he accompanied his girlfriend to watch the movie.

Zhao Ye was still very impressed. When the theme song of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" played, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.

At this time, the lights in the screening room had begun to light up.

Zhao Ye suddenly woke up from his memories. He just fell in love with the scene and couldn't help but think of his first girlfriend.

Zhao Ye shook his head and sighed slightly. He and his first girlfriend broke up after only dating for a year and a half due to personality incompatibility and the other party being too strong.

Later, he met his wife, a beautiful, gentle southern girl who captured his heart the first time they met.

However, she was still her student at that time.

When Zhao Ye thought of his wife, he couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.

My wife is ten years younger than me, and she is still in high school...

I will be admitted to Fudan University next year.

Thinking that he might meet his wife from his previous life in Shanghai next year, Zhao Ye suddenly looked forward to it.

Before that, Zhao Ye didn't want to disturb the other person's life because the other person hadn't grown up yet.

Zhao Ye, Xu Xiangming and others came to the office at this time.

Zhao Ye scanned the crowd and spoke first: "The filming of "The Lion King" was very good. I'm very satisfied, but I still need to find an English song for the theme song. In addition, what I want to say is, "The Lion King" "King" is considered the pinnacle of traditional hand-drawn animation! The future of animated film production will undergo huge changes!!!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

Zhao Ye asked at this time: "Do any of you know Pixar in the United States?"

Most people shook their heads, but a small number of people still knew about Pixar.

"I know Pixar. This company has produced several animated short films and won many awards in Hollywood!" Animation director Tang Cheng said, "Currently, the boss of Pixar is Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, but he was kicked out of the company by the board of directors, and he bought Pixar from Star Wars director George Lucas."
