"A Bao is back?"
"A Bao is back!"
A Bao, you finally came back.
Hurry up, don't say anything, go ahead and let the big guys see how much you have grown over the years and how hard you have strengthened.
The visual effects & art "hard dishes" are upgraded
. It has been nearly 8 years since the first work of the "Kung Fu Panda" series. It has been four and a half years since the last "Kung Fu Panda 2" released in mid-2011. A Bao's return is true. It's really a "long-distance reunion", almost like the ad slogan of Xuanmai chewing gum said, "Delicious and lasting, too long to be outrageous". Fortunately, the strong performance of "Kung Fu Panda 3" not only dispelled all the inertial worries of the "sequel to destroy childhood", but also proudly declared to the world with its almost "invincible" industrial benchmark production level: this living treasure Panda is worthy of the audiences and fans who have waited for nearly 5 years.
long production cycle has brought about a "super evolution" that is clearly visible to the naked eye. Looking back at the generation of "Kung Fu Panda" in 2008, the Abao in it is still a "fair and naive, occasionally a few pieces." The panda with stiff hair" is stupid and big; in the second generation, it can barely be called "softer hair and more flexible posture", "a little improvement, but not significant"; in the third generation of this work, the film is directly produced In addition to the "many mountains and plains", the body is pliable and soft like cotton candy, and the hair is as delicate as a brush. A large group of pandas (ﾟдﾟlll) are as exquisite as their supporting roles, not to mention our first protagonist, A Bao.
In addition to the details of the character modeling, the film's progress in action arrangement and Kung Fu duel "Martial Arts" is another highlight of the most intuitive visual effects. It is difficult to use the word "smooth" to sloppyly describe several of the martial arts highlights in this work, because the movement of one move is so smooth and easy to retract. The fast is like a storm and the slow is like a feather. The combination of movement and static, and the rhythmic change of relaxation reveals a deeper understanding of the word "kung fu" by the entire film's creative team. "Both form and spirit, there are no recruits for students" is the most obvious improvement in the audience's perception of "Kung Fu" in "Kung Fu Panda 3". Pursue detached beauty in artistic conception. Special effects are advancing, and Abao’s kungfu attainments are also "refining the realm" one by one. The two complement each other very much like the "teaching and learning" of the master raccoon and Abao. This wonderful overlap is the visual effect of the film. After feeding the audience's eyeballs, another sweet and mellow aftertaste was left behind.
film's outstanding art is also impressive. Bright and full color palettes, rich and changeable scenes, 3D and two-dimensional plane ink painting scrolls, silhouettes, multi-view split painting styles, and other styles are alternately used, and the flow of light and shadow, natural climate, and Full of the exquisite details of ancient Chinese rhyme, "Kung Fu Panda 3" strives to reach the top "craftsman-level" production level in every art process, and only then has the cold and handsome snow-capped mountains in the movie and the colorful peach blossoms and fruit trees in the fall. , The verdant panda village... When I first entered the panda village, "returning for dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened. The land is flat, the house is like a genus of mulberry and bamboo", the description of which is in front of me, brother Yuanming. I'm not deceived sincerely. These are just the "quiet scenes" of the film, moving to the dynamic scenes of the two spiritual battles at the beginning and the end of the film, the green and translucent jade double knives, the haze-wrapped qigong, and golden storms. The blooming Chinese dragon...how can a "painting be beautiful without looking at it" can be described.
"Every frame can be directly taken as a desktop screensaver." This is the simplest and rude unanimous resonance of the countless friends who watched IMAX 3D and looked stupid.
The perfect ending chapter of Abao's "Growth Trilogy"
"The plot is too naive, there is no surprise at all." Many people actually prepare this kind of unintelligible comments before watching the movie and put them in their pockets in advance, so that the movie will not reach them after the movie is finished. In anticipation, I will come out to testify and complain about wrongdoing-I dare to be idlers who are sitting and watching movies without back pain, buying PG-rated cartoon movie tickets, and wanting to get the content of NC-17 all day long. Standard welfare. The sentence "Leave aside the visual effects and detailed settings. It's too naive to just watch the plot. I guess the end at the beginning", which reveals how deep the obsession of watching movies and the "I'm looking for differences" style Gangster logic? Can you clear all other movie information first and then "just watch the plot"? Why don't you go to heaven!
Abao spent three movies plus extra time, how hard and practical it has been on the journey of growing up, have you made it?
In the first "Kung Fu Panda", A Bao's growth began with the exploration of where he was really interested (not to cook noodles with Ba and Sheng Ba for a lifetime, but to learn kungfu), and to play Kung Fu by mistake. After accidentally becoming the "chosen man" appointed by the tortoise master, he gained a deeper understanding of heroes, chivalry, and kung fu from setbacks and triumphs.
"At The Mark of A to true Hero IS humility."
"At The Secret Ingredient IS Nothing. The To the make something Special you the Just have have to Believe IT's Special."
To the second part, the film at the beginning of the way the painting with a 2D clip confessed Lord Shen Off The cause of the panda clan led to A Bao’s search for the identity of "Who am I?" in the later story. After overcoming his fear of escaping from the past + fighting against Wang Ye several times, he summed up his experience and lessons. At this moment, he realized the "Inner Peace" (Inner Peace) that the raccoon master had only cultivated for decades, and completed his second stage of growth.
"Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that does not make you who you are. It is the rest of your story. Who you choose to be."
Look at the front of this third part, the film spent a lot The pen and ink used to express:
1. After A Bao completed his “search for self-identity” in the previous movie, how did he follow his father Li Shan back to the panda village in this movie, and personally “make one” "Panda", returning to a giant panda "as it is";
2. Under the premise that Abao has mastered the existing Kung Fu theoretical knowledge and has his own knowledge of Kung Fu, how to apply this knowledge in practice? Learn to teach Kungfu to other people (Xiong) in accordance with their aptitude and teach them as the raccoon master enlightened him, and guide them to use Kungfu correctly;
3. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility In the process of constant growth, Abao has completed the transformation of his identity from an apprentice to a true dragon hero. How to become a competent knight and how to handle his identity as a Kung Fu model/model/idol?
Because of the large amount of "rigid demand" in literary and opera, the film had to make compromising deletions in the martial arts part. Throughout the film, the only real "decisive battle" is that Kai arrives at the panda village near the end of the film, and fights with Abao from the mortal world to the spiritual world after the fight. The good intentions and ingenious settings of the film's creators have been misunderstood by many "incomprehensible" spectators as "long and protracted plot, naive and empty theme", which is really dumbfounding.
Ironically, "Kung Fu Panda 2", which has the most martial arts and the most densely arranged action, is the one with the lowest score and the least praise in the trilogy. To put it bluntly, although the big guys watch the excitement, they are all sensible people. Kung Fu does not look at the moves but at the artistic conception and tastes Zen. This is the "root" and "core" of the "Kung Fu Panda" series.
The "new" Chinese Kung Fu elements that are mechanically copied?
"How come from the original stalker, Kung Fu comedian suddenly detonated to become a Tai Chi master? This is unscientific!"
"So it is the eternal [love is the source of power] ultimate cliché old stalk? With [Love], you can learn qigong directly without reason ? The screenwriters will die?”
…
This is the most common thing I have heard since the release of "Kung Fu Panda 3", for the newly incorporated Chinese Kung Fu in the film Elemental complaints.
However, are Yin and Yang, Tai Chi, and Qigong really so "full of sense of violation" in this work?
Throughout the entire "Kung Fu Panda" series, there are very few positive mentions and explanations of the Yin and Yang theoretical system. However, isn't the setting itself of the "black and white" giant panda (and the shape of the head of the scepter handed down by Master Turtle) is the most intuitive and concrete expression of the concept of yin and yang? So why use extra space to talk to the audience about "what is yin and yang?"
Furthermore, the so-called "Tai Chi produces two instruments, two instruments produce four images, and four images produce eight trigrams", the two instruments are the two instruments of yin and yang of Tai Chi. Since the "yin and yang" have been explained and prepared in the first two films of the movie. , So now that Tai Chi is realized in the third book, why is it "unscientific"?
As early as the second part of the series, the "empty-handed cannon" style in the decisive battle between A Bao and Wang Ye Shen already revealed the yin and yang, and Tai Chi.
Finally, let's talk about the "Qigong" that has been concentrated on complaints. Before entangled in whether the "Qigong" in the film violates the harmony, why not take a minute to think about what we think of "Qigong"? Turtle Qigong? Nine Suns? Golden bell iron cloth shirt? Yi Jin Jing Washing Marrow Sutra of various sutras? Very good, very good, it seems that our brains are much bigger than the screenwriters. But... Are these special features mentioned above the kind of "Qigong" that you want to express in the movie? no!
Regarding the so-called "Qigong", although there is not much ink in the film, it can be regarded as a clear explanation. It is the earliest batch of "ancestor pandas" who united the power to help the severely injured tortoise master to relax the muscles and heal the wounds. The purpose of restoration is more inclined to the concept of "aura" or "breath" in the setting, with conditioning, resuscitation, and healing as its main effects. Moreover, this kind of qi has never been called [what "Qigong"] in the movie! In the original English version, "Qi" is the transliteration of "Chi" (forgive foreigners for not being able to pronounce "Qi" as "Qi"...), and it has nothing to do with kung fu, beatings, and pinching half a dime!
Then the question is coming again. If you are bored enough to twist the ba, you can still be entangled in "Master Raccoon doesn't use his breath to fight, why can he only use his breath to open a small wild chrysanthemum after decades of practice?!" It's still unscientific!" Such details, then I can only say... The screenwriters just want to use a scroll to tell you that the mysterious thing "qi" is itself the racial talent of the pandas! The skills that come with birth are just some people forget to click them! You are making a fool of yourself here, so you have to have trouble with these pandas!
Daddy Goose and Daddy Bear are both good daddy
Mr. Ping, who is Abao’s adoptive father "Daddy Goose". He loves Abao so deeply and so truly that I have to set aside a paragraph alone to review this stupid one. To the heavy paternal love of the distressing Duo Go, it also commends him for his nurturing grace on the way of raising A Bao into an adult.
Mr. Ping looked at A Bao, the look of "I don’t know where it came from, but it went deep".
A Bao’s healthy growth was accompanied by Mr. Ping’s care all the way.
Kung Fu Panda is grateful Festive special, cooking festive noodles with father Goose is the happiest thing
for A Bao. Mr. Ping has no abilities, he only cooks soup for A Bao to eat; Mr. Ping also has no ideals in life and aspirations, just simply looking forward to the day Like that white lie, his son Abao had a dream about the following, and then followed him to learn how to make noodles and inherited his "hands of being a father".
Noodles are actually a kind of food with a special human touch. It is simple and easy to learn to make, but it takes time and time to cook it. It is necessary to control the heat so that it will not be overheated or caught when it comes out of the pan and bowl. It is gentle and mellow and warms the stomach in the mouth is its unique mystery. Noodles are another kind of thought, a kind of gluttonous satisfaction and unforgettable thoughts of "I want them after eating"; the pronunciation of dried noodles seems to be the same as melancholy, which is worry and yearning. They all say "the thread in the hands of a loving mother, and the top of the wandering son", but for Mr. Ping, it turns into the phrase "love the middle noodles of the child bowl, read it in the heart of a loving father".
Mr. Ping treats A Bao as if he is his own, so that we are all willing to believe that he is A Bao’s father, even if he is a goose, even if A Bao has been kept in the dark for a lifetime, we feel so stupid. His "little happiness" is bliss on earth.
Therefore, in this movie, when the screenwriter tells us, "Wake up children, of course we can’t really let the panda jump out of the goose egg." When the "different concepts" were clearly distinguished, we realized how cruel and abusive this action is.
Fortunately, the screenwriters did not use too much force, and did not abuse Mr. Ping "thousands of times". After a brief period of loneliness and sadness, the two fathers, Mr. Ping, Li Shan, and A Bao, and a son have found a balance in the parent-child relationship-"Daddy Bear" Li Shan is A Bao’s blood relatives, and also A Bao The guide and guide of the panda's nature; Mr. "Goose" Mr. Ping is more like a loving mother, pampering his son Abao with a bowl of hot soup noodles and a cage of sweet and delicious steamed buns.
At the end, we, as the audience, were relieved as well. Whether it was an "Adoptive Father" or a "Biological Father", the two are just different in terms of their names. Their love for Abao is all converging. The same end point is no different. In fact, whether it is "Daddy Goose" or "Daddy Bear", they are all good fathers.
Accompanying is the longest confession.
It’s hard to change the local accent, "Swear him to death, wife!"
"Bad his daughter-in-law" is actually a "fried chicken cute" voice and intonation stem that was discovered since the "Kung Fu Panda" generation and has been used to this day, because Abao's voice actor Jack Black would put "Master Shifu" "The emphasis of this sentence is placed in the "Ma" and "Shi" parts, and then because our cute Jack can't pronounce "Shi" in the American accent, the weird "teacher" pronunciation, so we can only retreat to the next best thing. Say it like the "shi" in "Sashimi", uttering the same sound as "She"/"Xi", in conjunction with a vividly exaggerated "Master", and a good sentence "Master!" Just like this for an instant The style of painting went off-track and turned into a "scold his wife to death" with a sense of joy.
It is also thanks to Jack Black that he did not diligently study the pronunciation of Chinese characters, so that the majority of movie fans in the third "Kung Fu Panda" can continue to listen to the vivid and beautiful sentence that "touches the depths of people's souls." ], and then smiled heartlessly.
similar language Meng point there are two separate ways supernatural powers who are helpless translation of "Wuxi Finger Hold" and "Skadoosh":
"Wuxi Finger Hold" If the water is good, I choose to die.
"Skadoosh" is similar to the phrase "Bazinga" in "The Big Bang Theory". It is the original word of the "Kung Fu Panda" movie. It is usually said in a humble and molesting tone before A Bao is about to defeat his opponent. When it came out, the audience understood that it would be understood as a "take it!" or "go shit!"
But as for how to translate it, even Mark Osborne, the director of the first "Kung Fu Panda", said that "I also want to figure out how the word [Skadoosh] can be explained to Chinese audiences." It is
almost "eccentric" to the end. China Custom
Regarding the degree of "eccentricity" tailored for Chinese audiences in "Kung Fu Panda 3", let's first look at three sets of data and one fact:
three sets of data
. It is the first official animated feature film co-produced by the United States and China
. At least one-third of the content of the film is delivered by the Chinese team. One of the producers of this film is the "Oriental DreamWorks" which was established in 2012 and is 55% controlled by the Chinese. The first round of investment reached US$330 million
. The joint production of DreamWorks, Shanghai Zhongming Youying, and American DreamWorks makes "Kung Fu Panda 3" bid farewell to the 17.5% share of imported films, and instead enjoy 43% of the box office share of domestic films, and three producers from China Will also participate in the split of the film's global ticketing.
One fact is that
"Kung Fu Panda 3" has two versions in English and Mandarin, and the Mandarin version is completely produced by Oriental DreamWorks. The Mandarin version has a specially re-created Chinese script (translated from a non-English script), which retains the original localized Chinese language style to the greatest extent, including the artistic expression of character dialogue and language interest. Moreover, according to the Chinese lines, each character has correspondingly remade the mouth shapes and facial expressions, which is an unprecedented first in the history of global animated feature films.
In addition, in the different stages of "Kung Fu Panda 3" movie production, such as art development, modeling, binding, textures, etc., Oriental DreamWorks has made a lot of contributions, and perfectly integrated Chinese ancient architectural styles, traditional costumes and food. In the production of movie scenes, the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture have been followed to a great extent.
vaguely remember that when the first "Kung Fu Panda" was released in 2008, in addition to the shock at first sight, it was more of the "sorrowful" self-pity and ultimate inferiority of the film and television cultural critics across the country—— "Foreign devils took our China's national treasure panda, used our Chinese elements, combined their imagination, coupled with their animation film technology, and in turn made money for us Chinese! In turn, they slapped our Chinese people and taught us. How to use Chinese culture to make domestic cartoons!", "Even foreigners are more interested in the study and application of Chinese traditional culture than Chinese, Chinese animation movies are dead!"
Negative remarks of this kind have been raging for a while, with a strong national complex and inferiority complex of "sorrowing their misfortune and angering them", expressing the despair that the Chinese film industry "is speechless and choking". “I’ve grown my own vegetable garden so hard that the pigs of other people’s homes have turned upside down.” It’s probably not more appropriate to describe the grieving and angry audience at that time.
Today’s Chinese-language film market has long been a theater shed where dignitaries and grassroots can entertain and entertain. Today, when the mentality of watching movies is relatively relaxed and relaxed, looking back at the "cultural invasion theory" of the year, it sounds a bit overkill. Unreasonably worried. In fact, for all viewers who care about domestic films, we all know that the "rise" of domestic films still has a long way to go, and we have all witnessed the slow and steady progress of domestic films year by year, "Made in China". It is too early to conquer the world, but it is an indisputable fact that world films are increasingly inseparable from "Made in China".
At least, for this time of "Kung Fu Panda 3", our Chinese audience has enough confidence to proudly declare to friends from other countries that the A Baocheng in this work is followed by the "direct lineage" from China, and we have what none of you have. Exclusive Chinese script!

In a blink of an eye, A Bao has been with us for eight years.
This silly giant panda has almost assembled all the beautiful traits that we Chinese can bestow on him: meek and modest, slightly fat, blessed, great wise, like foolish, clumsy, never give up... And, "Humor is grace in frustration." The politeness" is extremely optimistic. A Bao carried too many shadows of kind, beautiful, and righteous people. On the way to continue to grow and move forward in the future, please also bring the most sincere and heartfelt prayers from each of us:
I wish Abao's Kung Fu cultivation base will continue to diligently, improve, and maintain [a panda with the best Kung Fu in the universe] Self-cultivation, strict self-discipline and forgiveness to others, become a new generation of martial arts masters.
I also hope that Bao, you can never "don’t grow up", and I hope that no matter how beautiful or downcast you are, don’t forget those closest people and the "most important little things", and remember the first time you were embarrassed. The appearance of the Kung Fu general election venue, remember the temperature of the first bowl of noodles Mr. Ping gave you, remember that you worked hard with the raccoon master for the "three days and three nights" in order to eat a bite of steamed buns, remember the group that accompanied you from birth to death in the world The five heroes of the earth, I also remember your initial aspirations when you first started to learn arts and martial arts with a teacher.
There is still more than half of the way to go before the grand aspiration of "at least six films". It is too early and it will be long.
Abao, the next eight years, the next "trilogy", we are still here waiting for you and going home.
