Behind the scenes After
the joyful adventure of two parrots
sold nearly 2 billion US dollars worldwide in "Ice Age", the next work of Blue Sky Studio has to be highly anticipated by fans. This humorous style, Animation studios that often feature animals as the protagonists, their works are not as preachy as Pixar, nor do they focus on spoofs like DreamWorks. Most of the time, Blue Sky Studio's works can always find a way between preaching and funny. A delicate balance. Regarding the style of Blue Sky Studio's work, Carlos Saldanha, director of "Rio Adventure" and also the director of the "Ice Age" series, said: "In the beginning, Blue Sky Studio actually did not have a 'style' at all. , I'm not sure if I can complete a work independently. We have been assisting other film companies in making CG animations in movies for a long time. If we want to talk about the formation of the so-called 'style' of Blue Sky Studio, Of course, it has an inseparable relationship with "Ice Age". During the more than 1,000 days and nights of making "Ice Age", we began to have some concepts about the positioning of future works. In the end, accompanying the "Ice Age" series, The 'style' is also set. On the whole, we hope that the works of Blue Sky Studio are 'interesting', and all the truths we want to tell you are in the service of the story, such as "Ice Age" about humans and nature. Get along with each other. But we haven't done enough in this regard, and we hope that in different works, we can improve this point."
The "Ice Age" trilogy ended with a very beautiful box office. It is not known whether to continue this box office myth, but director Carlos Chardan's production focus has obviously been completely put on "Rio Adventure". This original work is quite luxurious from the production cost to the cast lineup, and it is obvious that 20th Century Fox has full confidence in Carlos Chardan's talent. Talking about this upcoming new film, Carlos Chardan said: "The story of 'Rio Adventure' is what I wanted to do when I entered the industry, I am Brazilian, and Rio is a place that fills me with In terms of feelings and memories, Rio is a key point in this work. I want to use this cartoon to introduce the local customs and customs of Rio to people from all over the world. If it was put ten years ago, the company's colleagues and My friends must think I'm crazy because they can't imagine what an animated Rio would look like. This decade has been a decade of rapid development in CG animation, and all kinds of themes have emerged Come out, now a CG animated feature film can write all types of live-action movies, and the story of "Rio Adventure" can also be put on the stage."
As for the story of "Rio Adventure", I once wrote Don Lemmel, of the "Jedi Milk" trilogy "Surf Season" and "Shiny Christmas", said: "The story is the word Rio first, and Carlos Chardan wants the story to be a story. Road theme, connecting various adventures together. In fact, this is the same as "Ice Age", and Carlos Chardan means that he has made too many ancient times, he wants to go back to the 21st century (laughs) ).The protagonist is named Asuka, because it saves the trouble of transportation. The director always feels that there are too many stories about a tiger or a lion traveling long distances to another place... He and I both hope that this story will be fully It is possible to dig out some story highlights that the audience has not discovered before. In fact, we have done it. As for what it is, I have to sell it, and the audience will understand when they watch this movie. "Adventure", I would say, it is a blue sky work without compromise, it will definitely not disappoint the audience who like to watch cartoons!"
Technology serves the story
The front and back of the "Rio Adventure" are luxurious. The voice actors include Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and Jamie Foxx. They are very popular in "The Social Network" to the Oscar winner. After the nomination, Jesse Eisenberg seems to have become a popular boy in Hollywood. For this latest "voice" work, Jesse Eisenberg said: "The plan for this movie is to start in 2009. , at that point the film was already part of it, and I was just told, would you be interested in speaking for a bird? I replied, yes, I was interested, so that's how the work started (laughs). I still encountered a lot of difficulties when I was in the studio. People from the studio often discuss with me the speed of speech, the tone of speech, and the presentation on the screen. I know that Blue Sky Studio has faced a lot this time. But there are always a lot of smart people among them who solve them one by one."
Although "Rio Adventure" is not the first time Anne Hathaway has dubbed an animated film, the Oscar-winning actress The popular actress at the awards ceremony was still very excited about the film: "You know how interesting the animation of Blue Sky Studio is, and my character in it is a little bird. Her character is very perverse and complicated. A bit of a naughty little girl, teasing, and proud. I really like these traits in a bird. In the story, I have a lot of conversations with Jesse Eisenberg, and he and I We will communicate these dialogues together in advance, but despite this, we will still fight for the lines... He and I have the same character, not admit defeat, we bring this emotion into the dubbing, so the audience will finally see two fighting spirits how the little bird made those hilarious adventures."
Blue Sky Studio has been innovating in the production of CG technology, especially in the production process of "Ice Age 2", Blue Sky Studio has developed a set of renderers for making fur and water flow, and it has become the top of its kind in the industry. In Rio, the technology is also commendable, with Carlos Chardan detailing the technical details of the film: "We were the first to study the living conditions of many birds, and we used a very unique This time we are in the movie, the most technical difficulty is the bird's wings, because in the story, the bird will make a lot of complex movements, and these movements are impossible for the birds on earth to do So we need a completely new design for the changes in the wings of these birds when they move. This is not easy to handle, and this is the biggest difficulty we overcome in the film. Of course, technology is not an element we want to use to attract audiences, Interesting stories and characters, as well as romantic and refined imagination, I think a good animation needs to rely on these to really make the audience like it."
