Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 144 Pixar's New Collaboration

In the future Earth, humans are forced to evacuate the Earth and live in giant spaceships due to excessive pollution and garbage.

The earth has become a garbage dump, with only a group of garbage disposal robots left to clean up the rubbish.

The little robot Wall-E, as one of them, has been carrying out tasks for a long time.

At the beginning of the story, other robots of the same model are basically broken.

Wall-E is like a scavenger, processing garbage in the huge garbage dump of the earth and picking out things that he finds interesting and useful.

Wall-E is an old-fashioned robot, and its behavior is supposed to be determined by programs alone.

However, due to long-term independent operation, some abnormalities occurred in his personal processing core.

During his long life, Wall-E learned to watch TV. This is a TV that he assembled from the garbage he selected.

Through past TV programs, he learned about previous human civilizations and gradually developed emotions for them.

Wall-E worked alone, finding interesting objects every day that he collected in his home.

One small plant in particular he saw as a symbol of life.

The first short section of the movie describes Wall-E's work and life.

This scene has no vocalization at all, just like a silent film. If it is not done well, it will be boring.

But Pixar made it very interesting, and every time Wall-E scavenges, it's like an adventure.

In the four to five minute scene at Wall-E's house, the director did an excellent job of establishing the humanity of Wall-E, the machine.

He is like a human young man, with rich emotions.

I like collecting new gadgets, have a strong curiosity, are childish in many ways, like listening to music on iPod, and also yearn for love.

Next, by chance, a spacecraft from outer space brought an advanced exploration robot named Eva.

That is the heroine.

Eva is a search robot sent to Earth by a spaceship to look for green plants.

Wall-E and Eva met. The robot, who had been lonely for hundreds of years, seemed full of energy again and began to take Eva around on a tour.

Suddenly, a sandstorm hit, and Wall-E took Eva back to his residence.

Then he began to show her the various treasures he had collected on Earth.

Eva is also a self-aware robot who is curious about Wall-E's collection. The two robots even watch human musicals together and learn to dance together by imitating the actors in the movies.

Wall-E was a little too hasty and tried to pull Eva's hand, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Being rejected, Wall-E had to use his trump card and show Eva his most precious collection, the plant.

This is exactly what Eva is looking for.

Eva took the grass into her body and then went into hibernation, waiting for the spaceship to take her back.

Wall-E didn't know that the other party had fallen into hibernation.

I thought she was sick and it was my responsibility to take care of her.

This scene was shot very romantically. Wall-E dragged Eve outside to bask in the sun and waited with her.

During this time, he protected her from the wind and rain, took her wandering, and watched the sunset.

The spacecraft took Eva back according to the predetermined procedure. Wall-E didn't want her to leave, so he also got on the spacecraft.

The scene changes from the barren earth to the beautiful space landscape.

From here on, the film turns into an adventure story.

Human figures appeared.

People on this ship called Truth lived a life of having everything provided for them, without any work required. Even their ability to walk had degenerated, and they all just lay on their own chairs.

The captain learned the good news brought by Eva, that green plants can appear on the earth, which means that it is time to return to Earth.

When the captain wanted to put the plant in Eva's body into the program and execute the return command, he found that Eva's body was empty.

Eva was sent to the repair shop as a faulty robot that lied about military intelligence, so Wall-E had to rescue her. What followed was the group escape scene that Pixar is good at. In the joint battle, the relationship between Wall-E and Eva also developed by leaps and bounds.

While on the run, Eva and WALL-E discover a conspiracy by the self-driving AI that controls the spacecraft.

It is it that stole the plants and tried to prevent humans from returning to Earth.

Because it received a higher-level secret order saying that the Earth's garbage cleanup plan had failed and humans were not allowed to go back, even if it meant disobeying the captain's orders.

What followed was a battle of wits and courage with the villain. During this process, the captain, who was originally unable to walk, stood up again, just like the first time humans changed from crawling to walking upright.

At the end, humans return to Earth, and Wall-E gets to be with Eve.

After the movie ended, there was long applause in the theater.

Chen Linfeng was also applauding.

It is vivid and interesting, and can promote the concept of environmental protection. Of course, it is more than that. It also expresses the irrational and unstoppable impulse of human love.

Everyone can see some deep meaning that they want to see in it. This is the best example of smuggling one's own agenda.

After some people in the theater had left, Lasseter walked up to Chen Linfeng with a rosy face.

Chen Linfeng was the first to say, "Congratulations, Lasseter, you made an excellent movie."

"Hahaha." Lasseter's laughter was a little wanton.

"Congratulations to you too, Chen. You are going to be a hot screenwriter in Hollywood."

This isn't really halftime champagne.

Based on the scores of the previous previews and the feedback from the audience at today's premiere.

It is almost certain that this movie will be a hit.

As a filmmaker, Lasseter certainly has a good sense in this area.

Sure enough, the box office of "WALL-E" reached 7 million US dollars in its first weekend, becoming the weekend box office champion in North America.

The Rotten Tomatoes index, a film review website in the United States, gave it a 99% approval rating, making it the highest rating currently available.

This result is much higher than the previous life. The movie is still the same movie, but the screening time is different.

The previous version of "Wall-E" was released in 2008, along with other movies such as "The Dark Knight", "Iron Man", "Kung Fu Panda" and "Ultraman", which were all released during the summer vacation.

It's like a fight between gods.

This summer, there is only one blockbuster movie, Pirates of the Caribbean.

In 2005, the box office for the entire summer season was much lower than the same period last year.

"Wall-E" is equivalent to fighting against a group of minnows, so it is not surprising that the box office is higher than its previous life.

All major media outlets in Emily and Ken are reporting on this film.

Because the movie has a very good reputation and is a family-friendly movie, it has a very wide audience, spanning almost all age groups.

The theater chain expects its North American box office to reach $3 million and its global box office to exceed $6 million.

These box office figures have little to do with Chen Linfeng. After all, he won’t get more money.

But since he was the original author and his name was listed in the editorial column, he also became famous.

There was another wave of Hollywood seeking adaptation rights from him.

Chen Linfeng has always been very tight-lipped about copyrights. This time, he asked Mei to contact Fox to discuss the adaptation of Night at the Museum.

At the same time, Lasseter found him again.

Needless to say, the purpose is of course to seek cooperation again.

However, Lasseter was a little different from other companies. It did not like Chen Linfeng's existing story, but wanted him to write a new one and promised to directly let him serve as the screenwriter of the film.

Chen Linfeng was a little surprised.

"I'll tell you in advance that I won't be as easy to talk to you this time as I was last time."
