animated version of Raiders of the Lost Ark Jones turned into a dick
According to "Peru Adventure" director An Likui, the image of Ted is indeed born out of the classic screen hero Indiana Jones. However, in the "Indiana Jones" series of films, Indiana Jones, a professor of archaeology, is extraordinary and resourceful, and is a typical "rich and handsome" heroic dream; while An Likui was in the creation of "A Great Adventure in Peru" , It made Ted a lot more close to the people, and even made Ted a "diaosi" temperament. Indiana Jones explores the secrets all over the world, and the film sets the background of the story in the mysterious Peruvian rainforest to explore the legendary Inca Golden City. The legend of the Inca Golden City originated in the Middle Ages. In order to avoid the search and persecution of the Spanish army, the ancient Incas transported countless treasures to a mysterious city in the deserted tropical rain forest, and it has since evolved into a legend. The original music
of the song
"Peru Adventure" at the London Olympicswas performed by the internationally renowned musician Sakarías M. Dela Riva. He composed a total of eight songs for the film, with a lively tone. Cheerful and full of style. Among them, the film ending song "Te Voy a Espear (I will wait)" attracted the popular Spanish queen Belinda and Spain's hottest electronic music DJ Juan Magan to sing, bringing the audience the most intuitive Latin style experience. Although the film has not yet been released, its music "What Makes You So Beautiful" was spread to all corners of the world through the 2012 London Olympics. This piece, sung by the popular British idol group One Direction, was used as the background music for diving and volleyball competitions during the London Olympics. Its dynamic rhythm not only complements the atmosphere of competitive competitions, but also matches the jungle adventure story of the movie "Peru Adventure".
"The budget of Hollywood cartoons is twenty times that of ours."
This time the audience generally commented that the quality of this film is very close to that of Hollywood films. Are you happy to hear this evaluation?
Edmund Roach: Very happy, this is a great appreciation for us. Because under different budgets, making movies close to Hollywood's level is a great appreciation.
What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of "Peru Adventure" compared to Hollywood animated films?
Edmund Roach: Ted has been in Spain for the third week, and the box office still surpasses Hollywood cartoons, reaching 15 million euros, which is a good result for Spanish films. The biggest thing in common between Spanish Ted and Hollywood animated films is that the style and theme of the film are family friendly, humorous, and action. All the things make you have a good time in the cinema. We are the same. The difference is that the budget of Hollywood cartoons is twenty times that of ours. They can do one thing repeatedly, such as repeat shooting and then start again. This is one of the differences. Fortunately, whether in Spain or China, our animation technology is very close to Hollywood, but it depends on the budget. We can reach a level close to them through the same technology with a much smaller budget than it.
With the same budget as Hollywood movies, can we reach their level?
Edmund Roach: What we lack is long-term film production experience; the second is their strong marketing ability, and they have a strong ability to manipulate the market. This is what we need to learn. But in terms of creativity and production ability, both China and Spain are at the same level as Hollywood, so if we have the same budget, we are very likely to produce movies at the same level as Hollywood.
The Chinese originally hoped that the film could be released in China 10 to 15 days earlier than the Spanish side, so that it could be on the summer vacation. Do you now regret not doing this or in fact you have your own considerations?
Edmund Roach: Actually I regret it, but the release date of the film depends not only on the producer but also on the distributor. The Spanish distributor is Paramount, and they hope that Spain can become the number one screening. one stop. In fact, the same is true in Spain. When the film is about to be released, the summer vacation is almost over, but during the previous vacation, all Hollywood cartoons have been screened, including "Brave", "Madagascar 3" and "Ice Age 4" ". And they did a good publicity before, and when the movie was about to be released, they achieved good results. Although it is regrettable that we did not enter the summer season in China, we hope that we can choose a better schedule for the sequel, because "Peru Adventure" is entirely a Spanish film, with Spain as the producer and China as the distributor. This Communication takes a certain amount of time. In the second part, we will become partners, so the relationship between the two parties will improve, and the opinions of the Chinese side will have more weight, and the current situation will not appear.
What is the current state of Spanish film development?
Edmund Roach: Spanish film is in a very good period. There are a new generation of directors, screenwriters and a group of film workers. They have a broader vision, are more willing to face the world, and are willing to cooperate with people from all over the world. . The original batch of famous directors, they are all local-conscious directors, they have a strong personal style, including Pedro Almodóvar, these film masters are very conservative. Now a new batch of directors are willing to choose animation themes like Ted, and they are willing to cooperate with American producers and actors. Including the Spanish film IMPOSSIBLE, which may be released in China later, the actors are all Americans. The previous Spanish films faced international film festivals and won many international awards, but they did not face a large audience. Now Spanish films are beginning to become more audience-oriented.
The image of Ted has been in Spain for ten years. Are there any obvious Spanish characteristics in him?
Edmund Roach: Ted’s image is a bit clumsy. He is a construction worker with a relatively low social status. Before this film, there were two short films and comic books about Ted in Spain. This is the first time the character of Ted has been presented in the form of a themed film. The most successful thing about Ted is that every Spaniard can see his own shadow in him. His most distinctive personal feature is that he never stops in his dreams. Whether it is from the beginning of a construction worker to later becoming an explorer, he has experienced many failures and countless dismissals, but he never fails. Between the characters and the heroine, even though the heroine's boyfriend is a diamond king, he still bravely pursues his own happiness. This is also the most important character trait of Ted. It is also the point where everyone can resonate with Ted.
