網飛斥巨資買下中國動畫版權
Netflix has acquired the animated movie “Next Gen” for $30 million out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
在今年的戛納電影節上,網飛公司斥資3000萬美金獲得了動畫電影《暴走吧!失憶超人》的版權。The deal is for worldwide rights to the film from first-time feature directors Kevin R. Adams and Joe Ksander. “Next Gen” is about two friends who form a close bond in a society populated by robots.
這項交易是爲了獲得這部電影在全球的發行權,而這部電影是凱文·R·亞當斯和喬·柯杉達首次執導的影片。《暴走吧!失憶超人》講述了兩個朋友在機器人生活的世界裏建立了深厚友誼的故事。“Next Gen” will feature voice performances by Jason Sudeikis, Michael Pena, David Cross, Kitana Turnbull and Constance Wu.
《暴走吧!失憶超人》將由傑森·蘇戴奇斯、邁克爾·佩納、大衛·克羅斯、吉塔娜·特恩布爾以及吳恬敏爲其配音。
The robot-filled film is based on the original online comic 7723 by Wang Nima. Nima is the founder and editor of China’s leading ‘rage comics’ website Baozou Manhua.
這部以機器人爲主題的電影改編自王尼瑪原創的在線漫畫《7723》。王尼瑪是中國領先的(原創在線漫畫)網站“暴走漫畫”的創始人兼編輯。Rage comics, and their offshoot biaoqing (“facial expressions”) are hugely popular in China.
“暴走漫畫”及其衍生的表情包在中國非常受歡迎。In recent years, Baozou has branched out beyond the rage comics, and built a mini-media empire that produces all types of entertainment content. While much of that content is available only in China, the company shares a regular series it produces on Youtube.
近年來,暴走漫畫公司在創作暴走漫畫的基礎上進一步拓展了業務範圍,創建了一個提供各種娛樂內容的微型傳媒帝國。雖然其提供的多數內容只能在中國看到,但該公司也在油管視頻網上分享了一個常規系列的作品。“Next Gen” looks nothing like the comics, and uses standardized cg aesthetics .
《暴走吧!失憶超人》看上去一點都不像暴走漫畫的常規作品,而且它還使用了標準化的CG美學。Baozou financed and produced the film, which Chinese majors Alibaba and Wanda will release in China this summer.
暴走漫畫公司籌資拍攝了這部電影,而中國電影巨頭阿里影業和萬達影視將於今年夏天在中國發行這部電影。Netflix won global rights to Next Gen, except for China. There’s no word yet on when Netflix will launch the film on its service.
網飛公司獲得了《暴走吧!失憶超人》這部電影除中國地區以外的全球發行權,目前還不清楚網飛公司什麼時候會在其平臺上放送這部電影。
