has been away for seven years, the door to the primitive age is opened again, and the "first family on earth" Guru returns. DreamWorks’ popular animation "Crazy Primitives 2" will be officially screened in major domestic theaters on November 27th. In this sequel, the Guru family meets a more advanced "civilized man" family, and two families A very happy collision broke out. The director of the film, Joel Crawford, said that he hopes that the brilliant and rich pictures and vivid and interesting characters in this new work can bring fresh feelings to the audience and gain more unity and love in the global fight against the new crown epidemic. All themes of
return to "unity"
Seven years ago, the Golu family of primitive people living in the cave made their debut, allowing audiences from all over the world to follow them to embark on a brilliant and exciting prehistoric adventure. The global box office exceeded 587 million U.S. dollars, the Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, the audience and the industry unanimously praised... The great success of "Crazy Primitive" made the sequel of this work attract attention. In order to make a breakthrough on the basis of the first part, the introduction of another family became the biggest idea of "Crazy Primitive 2".
If the primitive people represented by the Guru family are barbaric and are located at an earlier link in the human evolutionary chain, then the civilized people represented by the Bateman family are more "advanced" and more advanced: In order to build a house, Bateman lives in a tree house that can shelter from the wind and rain; to eat a bite, Gulu is exhausted every day, everything is survival as the core goal, Bateman has begun to pay attention to the degree of food and clothing. ; The Guru family is closely connected, even sleeping together, but the Bateman family pays attention to the privacy and personal space of each member. The conflict after the two families met has become a key factor in promoting the development of the plot.
"Many people like the first part. As a sequel, there must be a brand new story." Director Joel Crawford said, "The first part is about how the Gollum family survived. The times are developing. They Go on. The next stage of the Guru family will have to go through various major events, such as the love conflict between Guy and Xiaoyi, Gua brother is reluctant to let his daughter Xiaoyi leave home, and his son Tank is addicted to modern technology, because this will be a huge change. , So we need another family to challenge the Guru family’s worldview.” He believes that the Batemans seem to be perfect, but once they are closely observed, they will find that the Guru family is valuable. "The Guru family rolled into a ball when they slept. This is their warm and powerful bond. They have nothing but each other. In contrast, Bateman has everything, but the family members lack this bond. "Z1z
"Crazy Primitives 2" involves many topics, such as human class antagonism, how family members maintain a balance between intimacy and independence, the impact of electronic products on young people, female friendship and female power, environmental protection, etc. But in Joel Crawford's view, these themes ultimately return to the point of "unity". "Before the filming of this work, the epidemic had not yet swept the world, but the theme in the work did coincide with the current environment. The film tells us that mankind needs to continuously expand its circle of friends and accept more new members. In this crisis , We are forced to maintain close relationships with family and neighbors in an unprecedented way, just like the Guru family. The people you love may sometimes exhaust you, but without them, you will not survive."
Tucao modern people Indulging in electronic products
In terms of visual effects, "Crazy Primitives 2" continues the first highly saturated colors and imaginative style, presenting a wild and colorful prehistoric world. Among them, the manor where the Batemans live, the river is hovering, the tree house is full of high-end living equipment, the candy-colored fruits and vegetables are mouth-watering, and there are all kinds of funny animals... Joel Crawford laughs In other words, he almost moved the dream manor he had imagined as a child to the big screen. "The world in the first part is dark, chaotic, and broken, so in this part we want the Guru family to see a perfect home."
Bateman’s home has many inventions that improve the quality of life, one of which can be seen outside With the wide windows of the scenery, Gulu's son, Tank, couldn't move his eyes anymore. He sat in front of the window and stared at him every day, and he didn't want to walk away even after eating. This scene, I believe that viewers who have children will be laughed at, because it shows the phenomenon that teenagers are addicted to electronic products such as television. "People used to like to watch TV, but now they are mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products. They don’t want to sit down anymore.For chatting with each other, we designed the bridge segment of "window", which is also a kind of complaint about reality. "Joel Crawford said.
When all the female characters in the film reappeared in the form of the "Thunder Sisters" group, the style of the film changed suddenly, and the rock music and the cool modeling of the characters made people excited. I feel the power of women’s unity in the nonsensical style. “The two little girls in the film hit it off at first sight, but the two mothers were a little bit uncomfortable at first, but they eventually formed a sisterhood alliance. I grew up in the collective fight against extreme weather. The reason why I came to a rock MV here and gave them a group name is to let the audience know them completely at this moment. "Joel Crawford revealed that the idea of "Sisters of Thunder" came from the film's art director Peter Zaslav, who got inspiration from some heavy metal music album covers.
Nicholas Cage voiced by Nicholas Cage
by Nicholas Kay Qi, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, etc., the powerful voice-over lineup is back and brings many new changes.
"Nicholas Cage is really a comedy genius! He seemed to be able to jump into the scene in the movie at once and quickly found the right feeling. The Gua brother he deserves is very accurate whether he talks to himself or is a little irritable when talking about his daughter. "Crawford revealed that there is a plot of Gu Ge recalling his own banana eating. In order to make Cage's voice convey a very eager emotion, Crawford released a movie soundtrack master Enio Mo Ricone’s harmonica inspires Cage. Cage immediately thought of "Once Upon a Time in the West" directed by Leone and said: "Ah...Henry Fonda (starring in "Once Upon a Time in the West")! Got it. "He immediately played the effect that Crawford wanted in Henry Fonda's tone. The voice of
for Xiao Yi was the young Oscar queen Emma Stone. In her opinion, the use of voice to create animated characters It feels very different from shooting a live-action movie. When shooting a live-action movie, maybe 12 hours a day will be devoted to the role for a few months, but the "Crazy Primitives" series has allowed her to restart every four months for the past ten years. "Meet" with Xiao Yi. However, she really likes Xiao Yi's rebellious and crazy personality, especially the setting of a toe made of peanuts. "The setting of peanuts toe appears twice in the movie. When it comes out for the second time, we hope it feels like an action movie, just like Die Hard. Emma has no resistance to this stalk, and she laughs for a long time every time she is worthy of it.
