In the moonlight, in the dark, in the architecture of metropolis, the natural and unrestrained figure shuttles through the jungle of reinforced concrete, jumping and prancing, heroic and spirited! It's not Spider-Man Weaving Net, Batman spreading his wings, or Kryptonian Superman reappearing. Half-true and half-false jumping steps come from Teenage Ninja Turtles, whose mission is to defend the earth and fight evil. Leonardo Lanlei, who used to be a mountain city, Donatello with a wooden stick, Raphael with a ninja dagger, and Michelangelo with a tiger and tiger jumping nunchakus are all turtles as agile and intelligent as any superhero, and all-round masters with full personality and superb ninja skills. Of course, their opponents are not weak at all. The elite ninja with trident axe and spear sword, five elements magic ninja, invisible ninja and new york Bigfoot ninja gang, led by Kelly voiced by Zhang Ziyi, are hard enough to deal with. The ancient legion of Warcraft robbed in 3000 is even more evil, not to mention the manipulation of high-tech giants behind the scenes, which turned the world upside down! It seems that even a brave and green hero who is practicing both inside and outside will inevitably suffer this time!
Origin: "God turtle" shows "spirit"
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was written by peter reid and Kevin Heasman in 1984. This work was originally created to satirize the world of superheroes. It was originally published as a black-and-white comic book. Only 3000 copies were printed at that time, but they were sold out as soon as they went on the market.
Within a year, someone approached Reid and seamans with a toy production license. In the next nine years, a cartoon TV series and three live-action feature films came out one after another. These live-action movies, which were released in the early 1990s, adopted the latest electronic animation technology and professional martial arts design, bringing new experiences to movie audiences all over the world.
Thomas K. Gray, the producer of the three live-action versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is also the producer of this film. He said, "We want the tortoise to reach a new level and do something that has never been done before. For more than 20 years, turtles have been one of the most popular and best-selling toys in some parts of the United States and some countries in Europe, Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The comic series performed well and the comics were enthusiastically sought after, so we must give the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans something completely new. "
In order to bring these sewer heroes back to the big screen, the producers need to convince the original creators to empower them. According to the producer H. Galen Walker, he met peter reid earlier to promote his thoughts on the new feature film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: "I'm nervous because Peter doesn't really know me, and everyone in the company is waiting for my reply. After meeting, we walked and talked. Just when I was about to say the key question, he suddenly reached out and stopped me and said,' Turtle'. I looked down and saw a turtle pet crawling in front of us! "
Nevertheless, Walker is not sure whether he can get Reid's formal consent. He recalled: "until I got on the plane back and opened the book that Peter signed for me." I saw him write on the title page: "Let's make a movie, man." "
In order to re-create a new generation of Teenage Ninja Turtles, several producers found a promising young animated film producer, kevin munroe. Gray commented: "Kevin designed an excellent trailer for us. Obviously, he likes these turtles, and we like his creativity. This is a match made in heaven. "
Production: the race between Hong Kong and Los Angeles
It took more than 28 months to make Teenage Ninja Turtles in two completely different locations, one in the sunny Sherman Oak District of Southern California and the other in Hong Kong on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. More than 300 artists are employed in Hong Kong and nearly 70 artists are employed in Los Angeles. The two production sites are more than 7,000 miles apart, and such a production plan was almost unimaginable before the arrival of the high-speed Internet era.
With advanced conference call system and high-speed point-to-point data transmission system, Monroe said, "It makes people feel that they are only one key away from their office in Hong Kong. In addition, due to the time difference, we can work 24 hours. 5 pm in Los Angeles is 9 am in Hong Kong, so we can hold a conference call after our daily work, and they have just started their day's work. "
Walker said: "adopting a 24-hour production plan will make us progress faster." But you know, not everyone in Los Angeles can go home after work, because there will be some problems from Hong Kong to deal with. This is their working time, but it's midnight for us. The work is very hard, but Kevin and his team are doing very well, and the animators in Hong Kong are all great. "
However, there are also some difficulties that cannot be overcome by using modern technology.
Producer Paul Wang said, "The Hong Kong film crew has difficulties in language. Kevin uses a lot of slang when he speaks, so when Kevin says the word' cold', Hong Kong creators need to discuss it many times before they can understand it. In fact, what he said is not cold weather, but' cool', which means' good'. "
Monroe said: "It is interesting to cooperate with so many Hong Kong artists because they have a deep understanding of martial arts, which is a good supplement to the film style. They are all young people in their twenties. When they watch Hong Kong Kung Fu movies grow up, I will say to them,' OK, finish this scene with your Kung Fu movie style', and they will be very enthusiastic about it. "
Plot: Step by step, full of new ideas.
In order to make the story of the new CGI version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles innovative, Monroe said: "We don't want to go back to the past to stir up cold rice, so we decided to turn a new page for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When expressing these turtles, we should pay more attention to their family relationships and show what changes they have made since they broke up with us last time. "
Monroe chose to start his story through the rift in intimate relationship, which was his inspiration from modern family dynamic drama. He said: "Sprint sent Da Vinci to an international training class, but took a strict protective attitude towards the rest of the turtles, discouraging them from stopping cracking down on criminal activities while Da Vinci was away."
As a result, the monotonous daily life changed the life of the left-behind turtles. Donatello, a technical expert, was reduced to providing computer technical support for callers; Michelangelo, who likes to be lively, plays kawabanga at the birthday party to amuse the children. Kawabangga girl is a clown who can be rented, wearing a fake turtle coat. Raphael, who has a bad temper, always takes justice as his duty. He doesn't want to wait for anyone at all. At this time, he has become a secret vigilante who fights crime alone. The outside world only knows its code name is "Night Ranger".
According to Monroe, "Sprint is most concerned about the unity of their family. After Leonardo da Vinci came back from training, we saw Raphael show a little resentment towards Leon, which is a bit like a little boy jealous of his brother going to college, but he can only stay at home and do housework. "
Raphael's dissatisfaction was even more obvious after Leonardo da Vinci, who was strictly trained but somewhat conceited, publicly condemned the recent achievements of Night Ranger. Later, the defiant attacker was caught by Leonardo da Vinci on the spot, so the brotherhood and self-esteem were severely tested, and a fierce conflict between Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael began, showing an unprecedented confrontation.
Trouble at home is imminent, but there are bigger problems waiting for them. "We let the story continue along the line of thought that Slater was defeated. It turns out that the other two deadly enemies of the turtle, Kara and the ninja gang, have become mercenaries, and whoever pays will work for them. " Monroe said.
Monroe continued: "It turns out that one of KRAI and Ninja Gang's employers is the mysterious Maxim Winters. He is a very powerful billionaire who lives in a megalithic tower and collects antiques from all over the world. Winters is also a very mysterious person. With the development of the movie plot, we found him assembling ancient Warcraft. As a result, under the secret planning of Winters, incredible things began to appear in new york. "
Maxim is not what he looks like. Maybe he looks like a powerful modern figure on the surface, but with the development of his personality, the audience will understand why he has become a freak in today's world.
In April, O 'Neill, a friend and ally of the Turtles, also participated in Winters' plot. She is an archaeologist who collects rare treasures for the rich.
"April accidentally brought back an antique on a recent overseas trip, which may be the catalyst for the Armageddon between good and evil," Monroe said. "Of course, she knows nothing about its real source, because she is only serving her employer Maxim Winters."
The original Teenage Ninja Turtles fans may remember vigilante Kathy Jones waving a baseball bat and wearing a hockey mask. Monroe said: "Kathy is a person who misses the good old days very much." At that time, he worked with the Ninja Turtles to maintain public order and fight crime. In this film, Kathy and April are still the same as before, except that April doesn't like to wear hockey masks to maintain public order, so their relationship is no longer as harmonious as before, but they are faced with a major choice. "
The keynote of this new version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is "completely different from previous TV series and movies". Monroe said: "Stylistically, it is closer to comics, with a stronger sense of action, a greater threat to the world, and more intense emotional conflicts between the main characters."
design
In order to put his new version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the screen, Monroe found a talented senior artist and conceptual graphic painter Simon Morton. Morton has 25 years of experience in film concept illustration and design. His recent films include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Enemy of Machinery I, Robot, Van Helsing and The Matrix Revolution.
Monroe said: "This is Simon Morton's first full CGI film production plan, and it is also the most exciting thing for me, because he has adopted different design methods for live-action movies. I told him that after filming, I hope that any frame of this movie can be put into comics ... of course, it is wide. "
Morton said: "We adopted the film method of black-and-white movies in the 1940s and 1950s at the beginning of shooting. I really want to use lighting and environment to create another realistic image and feeling."
Most of the story of this film takes place in new york, and Morton particularly highlights the skyline and urban scenery of Manhattan, making it a unique Teenage Ninja Turtle.
In an action scene shortly after the movie started, Michelangelo turned the sewer into his final private skating rink. Morton explained, "I found very good models in water amusement parks in Hong Kong and Japan. The pipelines in those places attract a large number of tourists, and they are all designed in very interesting shapes and forms. Michelangelo thinks they are best suited for flying on boards and speed skating on bars. "
Winters' huge stone tower was inspired by the architectural planning of new york and Chicago in the 1920s.
The artist said, "Maxim Winters is a successful man. He has taken control of the world. We arranged a huge circular office for him, which is also a sealed glass elevator. He can reach any floor of the stone tower by pressing the button. This elevator office also determines the external shape of the Winters Tower. "
Corresponding to the human residential area, the art group designed three basic levels of the city as the safe areas of the Ninja Turtles, and paid special attention to how to let the Ninja cross the city quietly.
Monroe said: "Ninja can use shadows, roofs and sewers to move around without being found. In order to emphasize the' safe' area of the turtles, we made the sewers rich in brown and red, giving people a very warm feeling, while the streets on the ground were illuminated by bright neon advertisements, which made the turtles feel very unaccustomed. The roof is also their safe area, and the warm night sky and the lights below illuminate the roof. For turtles, the roof is as quiet as in a sewer, which is the best place for them to observe the world. "
Digital technology: superheroes armed with numbers
In order to create a credible CG animation image, digital experts hold up half the sky. They are responsible for researching and developing the muscle system of turtles, including their translucent bodies and every detail.
Monroe explained: "We designed all the muscle systems for turtles, because they basically have no clothes except belts and turtle shells. We also gave them different characteristics. For example, Raphael even has blood vessels that stand out when he moves, while Michelangelo has freckles. "
In addition to these reptiles, Sprint, a gutter rat with genetic variation of human appearance, has also brought another problem to animators. Monroe said, "In addition to her long hair, Sprint is wearing a robe. So we make its robe and fur separately to show its own movements and the influence of external factors. "
In addition, we need to design the surface structure and animation effects from muscles to shells to tentacles for Winters' Warcraft. There are as many as 13 kinds of Warcraft I * *.
"Some of Winters' Warcraft works are based on popular folklore styles. We also created some unusual Warcraft. For example, we nicknamed a Warcraft' Jersey Ghost', which is somewhat similar to crustaceans, but basically it is like a strong koala who is sleepwalking and grumpy. " Monroe joked.
Jin Wu, the animation director who works closely with Monroe, is responsible for supervising the production of everything that can move on the screen. Jin Wu said: "The fighting style of Turtle originated from China and Japanese martial arts. Many fighting scenes were inspired by Hong Kong action movies, but because we made them with CGI, we can go beyond the performance range of actual action movies."
Every turtle's movements are carefully checked to improve its personalized characteristics. Sun Wu explained: "For Da Vinci, he is very confident, because he is the boss and the head, so his walking posture is tall and straight;" Raphael is rebellious, so he walks a little wobbly; Michelangelo was naive and didn't walk so quietly; Donatello belongs to the intellectual class, so his actions are relatively low-key, and his characteristic is politeness. "
Perhaps the biggest challenge is to create a completely different image of a new generation of movies, and at the same time, we can't let the fans of Teenage Ninja Turtles lose their sense of reality. On the one hand, we should innovate, on the other hand, we should keep the reality of creativity.
Monroe finally concluded: "We did everything possible to make this movie full of the classic humor of martial arts and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After all, this is a typical American family story. "
