Chapter 850: Perfect farewell

When "The Avengers" passed the fifth weekend and entered the sixth week of screenings, and the sixth weekend was about to usher in, the North American box office of the film passed the 600 million US dollar mark, and the North American box office of 61.142 million US dollars. Cumulatively, this film has become the second only to "Avatar" and "Titanic". {3w.

At the same time, the "Avengers" overseas box office has exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has reached 1.45547 million U.S. dollars, which also firmly occupies the third position in movie history.

Even so hot, "Avengers" cannot escape the natural laws of the film. Starting from the sixth week, the North American single-day box office of the film has dropped to about 3 million US dollars, and the popularity of overseas regions is also rapidly declining. According to Judging from the current trend, the final global box office will probably be around 1.7 billion US dollars.

"The Avengers" cooled down, its competitors also breathed a sigh of relief, and the share of summer files shared by film companies other than Disney was also slowly rising.

However, just like in the past few years, at least one major Disney commercial film will be released every month during the summer vacation. By mid-June, Pixar Studios' super masterpiece "Toy Story 3" is coming.

Although it is likely to continue to produce a sequel in the future, Disney has played the final piece of the "Toy Story" trilogy early in its publicity, which has attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

It's been more than fifteen years since the first computer-animated feature film in film history. The original fans have grown up. The film means good memories and memories of the past for them!

Therefore, in addition to the current teenagers, some older groups are also the audience of this film, and the film also plays the banner of nostalgia.

So, when many people in their thirties or even older appear at the premiere of "Toy Story 3", it is not surprising.

"I don't know what to say. This series has accompanied me through a carefree childhood."

In the interview area, Taylor holding Ryan’s arm seemed to be touched by the reporter’s questioning, “It used to make me cry, make me laugh, touch me, and make me obsessed. In order to collect every toy in it, I used to be a thief in a Pixar office building. To me, "Toy Story" means too much. It will be one of the best memories of my childhood."

Later, the reporter asked Ryan about his views on this series.

"Toy Story has an indelible influence in the history of film," Ryan focused on Pixar Studios. "It is the pioneering spirit of Pixar Studios that makes this film not only technically, but also It has opened up a new world in narrative methods."

"Buzz Lightyear, Hoodie Cowboy and other toys instantly won the love of people of different ages, and their popularity is no less than that of Disney's traditional classic characters. "Toy Story" has greatly expanded the audience of animated films. It also redefines the rules of film production. It proves that it is completely feasible to make a film that can meet the needs of all kinds of audiences. In fact, "Toy Story" is the film behind it-whether it is an animated film or a live-action film- -Set a benchmark."

"I remember when we released "Toy Story"," John Lasseter on the other side also accepted an interview, "Ryan said it is our "Snow White". At the time we also thought,'Hey, if "Toys" "Story" really reached the height of "Snow White." It would be a cool thing to become a classic movie that everyone talks about."

Then, Andrew Stanton took the conversation, "Let everyone know that "Toy Story" is about a certain period of their own life-their childhood. Their family life. "This is what we were back then. The motivation for making "Toy Story" has been our mission for making every movie until now."

As the Titans from Pixar Studio arrived in the interview area one after another, Ryan took Tyler and took the initiative to leave. They are the protagonists of today, just like the toys that will be on the big screen again.

"Time flies."

As he walked towards the theater, Taylor said to Ryan, "In a blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed."

"At the time, you were still as small as Sonny." Ryan made a narrowing gesture, "It's taller than Nicole now."

"Does my height make you very stressed?"

Looking at the height alone, Taylor wearing vintage high heels has already surpassed Ryan, "I calculated, I now have six feet three inches..."

"You should consider Scarlett's feelings more." Ryan didn't care at all, "not me, dear."

Shrugging, Taylor obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and he took Ryan to the back of the front row and sat next to each other.

"I heard Sonny say..." She brought the topic to Ryan, "You quarreled with Nicole?"

"It's not a quarrel." Ryan shook his head. He knew that his daughter was close to Taylor, and he didn't care about it. "It's just that there are different opinions on some things, which leads to a little disagreement."

"It's really hard to put them together in a movie!"

This well-informed guy clearly knew the reason, "I wouldn't be surprised if they fight on set."

"Do you also think my idea is unrealistic?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah!" Taylor nodded vigorously, "Although they never confront each other in public, Nicole and Charlize would say a few words when I was there, but Nicole and Nat never talked to each other, even though They are very professional actors and directors, and it is impossible for them to cooperate for a long time, especially you."

"Okay, dear."

Seeing Tyler wanted to say something, Ryan stopped her and pointed to the lit screen, "The movie has begun."

Although the first two "Toy Story" have achieved great success, some viewers are still worried about the third, especially some die-hard fans.

As a sequel to a classic movie, it is often unthankful. It is often referred to as a "dog's tail" to steal money. So when Pixar Studios decided to regain the "toy series", many fans were overjoyed and unavoidable. worry.

"Toy Story 3" has been more than ten years away from the previous one. Pixar simply let Andy in the film grow up and make the decision to dispose of the toys when he leaves home to go to college.

More than an hour before the development of the plot, there were high tides. In fact, the direction of the plot development can still be seen in the shadow of the first two parts-the contradiction between Hu Di and the toys was stimulated to resolve, and then worked together to achieve the goal.

Here, there may be viewers picking Pixar repeating the old way, that's right! This part has fully taken care of the tastes of the children, and the continuous appearance of new characters also makes the film exciting and interesting, but it is not enough to make this film a classic.

However, the appearance of the second half hour brought the theme of the film to a higher level than the previous two.

When the toys met in the process of fleeing in the garbage dump, they fell into a huge furnace, weakly but firmly holding hands, smiling at each other, waiting for the death of death, the orange light in the furnace was hitting the toys. , Warm and sad, like the light before the setting sun.

Although the audience knew that Pixar would not end in this way, they were still moved. They could even hear a clear choking sound in the theater. After all, the toy series have been with them for so many years, and they will never remember Hoodie Cowboy and Buzz Light. Problems that cannot be solved in the year.

But when all the efforts of the toys are in vain, the hero will eventually come to an end. The audience who watched the series grow up can't help but sigh-Andy who will grow up, the toy that will be abandoned, everything will change, and this law is also the same in the movie. Be applicable.

And time not only brings away the fate of the toys being left out, but also takes away too much childhood feelings. So far, the movie has been in the humorous tone, unconsciously extending a trace of melancholy nostalgia.

Of course, if the film turns into a tragedy, it may really be remembered by many people forever, but it will become a weapon to kill the box office.

Neither Ryan nor Disney would allow this to happen, and Pixar Studios, which re-focused on the market, did not let tragedy happen.

Therefore, after Pixar tried the "Forge Adventure" sledgehammer, the toys returned to Andy without any risk.

The general movie story will probably stop here, and will not lose the viewing degree, but the next choice of Andy is the biggest highlight of the film.

Under the guidance of Hoodie Cowboy, Andy, who originally planned to hide the toys in the attic, was holding a large box of toys, and determined to give the toys to Bonnie, a little girl who also likes toys.

When Andy took out the toys and introduced them one by one, he clearly felt Andy's deep love for the toys, and the more obvious the love, the more reluctant it was.

In the end, when I took out the Hoodie Cowboy at the bottom of the box unexpectedly There was a deep sigh in the theater, and Ryan even saw Tyler next to him wipe his eyes quietly, starting fifteen years ago. , She is a loyal fan of this series, and the words she said in the interview did not contain much water.

Although reluctant, this may also be the best ending for the toys. Andy said-they mean a lot to me, and I hope you can treat them well-sighs and a little relief are in his eyes.

Andy took out the toys and played with Bonnie for a long time. One of the most profound shots-Andy puts Hudi on his neck, laughed and ran into the wind. This shot also appeared in "Toy Story 1" , Echoing from the beginning to the end, there is a little more meaning of separation here, but it is indeed a perfect goodbye.

Pixar uses the innocence of the audience as an introduction. In the second half of this film, it directly hits the most important thing in their lives.

When many viewers thought they had caught something after watching the film, some things were actually gone forever. (To be continued...)
