The play was a great success, and the image of McDull was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Use Thunder to see the searchable resources, which is where I downloaded them. It's best to download it and watch it online, which is very card.
Mcdull is a simple and optimistic pig, but his qualifications are very general, commonly known as' dead stupid'; Mai Tai is a single mother, and all her hopes are pinned on her son Mai Dou. Fortunately, McDull's personality is simple and optimistic, and he is honest and kind. He was born, went to kindergarten, went to middle school and grew up with negative assets one after another, but McDull still created his beautiful world with his honest and kind spirit of "playing the fool".

Preface to the film debut "The Story of McDull"
10 years ago, Alice Mak and Brian Tse created a cartoon series with Hong Kong characteristics. The main characters of this cartoon series are a group of small animals, mainly two little fat pigs, Mai Mai and Mai Dou. They are funny, poetic, fashionable and philosophical, as well as Brian Tse's words and expressions. These two cartoon pigs, which are deeply loved by Hong Kong people (from kindergarten teachers and students to university professors), are gradually becoming popular. In recent years, the number of cartoon works of Mai Mai has decreased, while peripheral products have been continuously introduced, which makes many fans of Mai Mai feel that Mai Mai is dead. 10 years later, the first movie animation was completed, and the fans of McMug had new expectations.
Alice Mak, the creator of McDull, said that you may not know this pig, but it is because McDull is "stupid" that he was chosen as the leading role. Just like comics, the animated story tells the story of McDull's growth in Dajiaozui, from birth, kindergarten, high school to growing up and entering the society. His life has ups and downs of hope and disappointment, but McDull always smears his life picture with his frankness, just like that scrawled and crooked Mai calligraphy. Such a calligraphy teacher will definitely scold him, but there are also many people who like him.
This animation advertises 65,438+0,000% Made in Hong Kong. There will naturally be many street scenes of Hong Kong in the animation background, from the eastern part of Tsim Sha Tsui to the top of the mountain, from the tea restaurant Xu Liushan to Zhangbaozai Cave, which are full of Hong Kong colors. The story takes place in a single-parent family, and the animation focuses on the mother-child affection between Mai Tai and Mai Dou.
Besides the cute and simple McDull, another wonderful thing about animation is that you can also hear the wonderful voices of Lin Haifeng, Wu Junru and Huang Qiusheng. They play the principals of McDull, Mai Tai, Li Gen and Springfield Huahua Kindergarten respectively.
McDull, who has a birthmark on his right eye, likes to eat drumsticks, eat only meat and not vegetables, and sleep. Mcdull is simple and optimistic, with average qualifications, but he has many dreams. Hope, disappointment, hope, disappointment ... one after another, all failed, but McDull created his beautiful world with his integrity and kindness. Mcdull may be stupid, stupid, and slow. In the pursuit of life, he tried and failed repeatedly, but he lived his life as if he were doing a simple thing. Many friends prefer McDull because he is not perfect, just like every one of us. His hope makes people feel happy, and his disappointment makes people feel the same. Mcmug is McDull's cousin and classmate, and also his only pig friend. He loves to eat and sleep as much as McDull and has a lot of meat.
McDull Story is also called My McDull Life.

McDull story, a song for the grassroots in Hong Kong-Made in Hong Kong.
Among many cartoons about fighting, killing and young people, the story of "Mcmug and McDull" has emerged as the most successful original Q cartoon character in Hong Kong, and it can often be found in greeting cards, stationery and other products around us. And this confused and stupid little pig McDull walked into the big screen of Hong Kong during Christmas this year, and interpreted his growth story, creating a miracle that he has earned more than/kloc-0.0 million box office receipts in more than ten days. Mcdull, described by cartoonists Brian Tse and Alice Mak, is not only a legend in Hong Kong animation industry, but also a successful forerunner in the history of Hong Kong animation.
It is a miracle that the Hong Kong-made animated film "McDull Story" has been released for more than ten days, and the box office has exceeded 654.38+million. Mcdull, the protagonist in the story, is actually a cute pink pig, but in the author's pen, he is endowed with humanity, and his world is no different from the human world. The only other possibility is that its image is still like a pig, rather than a person who looks like a pig. Mcdull's life story is very common. He experienced school, work, hope and disappointment. Moreover, his IQ is not high, and his family status is not prominent, even somewhat low, because in the story, he is a Hong Kong native and should be regarded as a person living in the lower class of Hong Kong society. So his experience may have been experienced by many ordinary people in Hong Kong.
Who took the lead in using the ridiculous and friendly word "grassroots" to refer to all people who are busy for their livelihood is impossible to verify. When I was young, I always thought that Hong Kong was a place where there were no ordinary people, because there was no difference between hearing the word "Hong Kong" and hearing the word "Jinshan" at that time. It was not until after school that I read more and more books and watched more and more movies about Hong Kong that I realized that there were grassroots in Hong Kong, and the proportion was not small. It was not until I got in touch with Hong Kong people and the Asian financial crisis that I heard that the grassroots in Hong Kong did not live as well as expected, even more tired and harder! Mcdull's story may be a screen projection of a real person's real story at the grassroots level in Hong Kong, which is why it infects so many Hong Kong audiences.
Songs for the grassroots in Hong Kong
Mcdull of Brian Tse and Alice Mak is so ordinary that he has nothing beyond ordinary people. He grew up in a single-parent family, lived in poverty and had an average IQ. He was born at the grassroots level since he was a child, and he also fantasized that his fate would get better and his life would be more exciting. Ordinary people have ordinary happiness, ordinary people have ordinary dreams, and you and I have had such dreams and happiness. I believe that the author of the cartoon and the director of this film once had such dreams and happiness, otherwise the story would not be so vivid.
Mcdull has many dreams, among which winning an Olympic gold medal and traveling to Maldives are his biggest dreams. He wants to be an Olympic champion, because Li Lishan, a Hong Kong sailor, was inspired by winning the Olympic gold medal. For this reason, he went to Changzhou to learn sailing skills, but as a result, he learned "mountain robbery", a local characteristic sport that has been lost for many years, which is completely out of date. I want to travel to Maldives, but my mother can only take him to the mountains near Hong Kong. But in spite of this, McDull still feels very happy. Watching McDull's special Christmas turkey on the screen for half a year, watching him get happiness from the ordinary, and watching him become a negative asset like many people now when he grows up and works, the audience feels more moved and sighed than laughter.
This song written by the director for the grassroots in Hong Kong with animation is so in tune with their heart music, although the melody may not be beautiful. Almost everyone in this class can see their own shadow or portrayal of themselves now from McDull. Songs that can be deeply rooted in people's hearts should be the most successful songs.
Hong Kong Scenery in McDull's Story
The reason why McDull's story is so accepted by Hong Kong people is that the story is close to Hong Kong people, and the Hong Kong scenery and cultural characteristics that appear in large numbers in the film have become another selling point to attract the audience. Mcdull told his story to everyone, and at the same time let the audience wander the streets of Hong Kong and experience various cultural phenomena in Hong Kong, which is definitely a pleasant thing.
Street view of Hong Kong: In previous Hong Kong films, the most common ones were the high-rise buildings and colorful lights in Hong Kong, but in The Story of McDull, there were many unique scenes that were rare in Hong Kong. From the beginning, the film captured a large section of the aerial street view of Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui. The scenery here is not beautiful, but it is shabby and of course true. This way of showing the characteristics of Hong Kong with a unique street view is more concrete than any other artistic technique, and it is also easier to be accepted by Hong Kong audiences. The peak of Hong Kong, Cheung Chau, Lamma Island, outlying island pier and Star Ferry pier in the film show all different regions and different types of space in Hong Kong. Especially Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po, crowded old streets, flyovers, cars, advertising signs and various shops are the characteristics of Hong Kong street view.
History and culture of Hong Kong: From the street scenes and other scenes shown in the film, Hong Kong people can experience the unique flavor of Hong Kong culture. The noodle stalls and tea restaurants appearing in the film are the daily places of Hong Kong people, and they are also authentic Hong Kong culture with typical Hong Kong characteristics. However, the headmaster of "Springfield Flower Kindergarten" read by Mai Dou is full of Chaozhou dialect, which allows primary school students to read in Chaozhou dialect, reflecting the mixed characteristics of various dialects in Hong Kong. Mcdull learns English by memorizing English words with Chinese pronunciation, which is not only interesting, but also shows that Hong Kong students learn English in almost the same way as mainland students. The legend of treasure in Bao Bao Mountain in Cheung Chau, the legend of treasure in caves in Zhang Baozai, the Olympic gold medal in Li Lishan, and Hongkong's bid to host the Asian Games. These all appear in the film, which makes the film somewhat like the historical features of Hong Kong and makes Hong Kong people moved by this scene.
Hong Kong Feelings in McDull's Story
Although Hong Kong's film market is more developed than Chinese mainland's, there is still a gap compared with Hollywood. So far, there is no statistical data to show the age and gender of the audience of McDull's story. However, it is inferred that the age-sex ratio may be relatively average.
It is not surprising that children like this film, because this cute little pig was originally created for them. The story of McDull in Springfield Flower Kindergarten is familiar to most children. Mcdull's study, games and dreams are all experiences of children when they grow up. Maybe they are still having the same dream at school or on their way to school. The story of McDull growing up and working may be a little ahead of the times for children who are not familiar with the world. I believe it's just the creator's unintentional fault, because they want to make the film suitable for audiences of all ages. So the bitter stories of adults have to be put on the screen. Older children may vaguely understand the touching places, and older children who have just stepped into society and suffered the same blow as McDull will definitely feel that they are simply the prototype of McDull. Many small audiences say that the middle part of the film is relatively dull, which is precisely why people of different ages and social experiences have different feelings about McDull's story. When they grow up, it is inevitable that McDull has a sense of distance from children, and it is normal for them to feel dull, because it seems that when they grow up, McDull is no longer their friend, but an adult's friend.
In McDull's childhood stories, adults can only express their feelings with aftertaste and emotion. The stories in kindergartens and schools are long gone, and every adult recalls the happy times of that year with endless regrets. I feel that time flies, the beautiful scenery is gone, and the hardships after growing up. The story of McDull's childhood brought only memories and sighs to adults. The story of McDull becoming a negative asset can be described as the lifeblood of the grassroots in Hong Kong. With the layoffs of large companies, the closure of small companies and the shrinking of assets, negative assets have become a common word in Hong Kong's economy and society. Among the people with negative assets, the number of grassroots people is mostly. Only those who are busy every day and constantly bear the pressure of housing and car supply are the least able to withstand economic fluctuations and are the most likely to become negative assets. Mcdull is not so much the embodiment of a grassroots people in Hong Kong, as the grassroots audience sees themselves on the screen. In addition, the creator used real Hong Kong place names and authentic Hong Kong street scenes in the film, which made the Hong Kong audience feel the authenticity of this completely fictional cartoon character story. The resulting recognition, in addition to finding a like-minded confidant for themselves, is also a great relief for the creators.
The Enlightenment of McDull to Hong Kong Films
In recent years, Hong Kong's economy has declined and the film industry has fallen into recession. Hong Kong's mainstream action movies, ghost movies and comedies are rarely excellent, let alone cartoons with insufficient strength. The coldness of the film market is certainly related to the stagnation of film creation, but under the influence of the economic situation, the transfer of audience interest in watching movies cannot be said to be one of the reasons. Seeing his assets shrink and his stock plummet, even if he remembers to go to the movies to relax, is it funny that he still has the mood to endure a group of people fighting inexplicably? Finding your own shadow on the screen, seeing a glimmer of hope for the future, and then smiling happily, is of course the best choice for ordinary grassroots.
Is the story of Stephen Chow's shaolin soccer wonderful? Hong Kong audiences, especially ordinary people, saw a spirit and a hope from Xing Zi and his other disciples. Hope is an indispensable guiding light in everyone's life, so that the audience can see the movies they want and naturally have a good box office income.
Mcdull's Story doesn't have as much investment as "Little" movies, and it doesn't have dazzling computer stunts. The story is also a lot dull, but try to maximize the age range and affinity of the story. Facts have proved that the art close to the lives of ordinary people will be accepted by ordinary people, and the stories that pay attention to the lives of ordinary people will be liked by the audience. Whoever pays attention to the grassroots will win the majority of the audience. This is undoubtedly a good inspiration and reference for the Hong Kong film industry, where the wind of special effects is rising day by day.
[Edit this paragraph] McDull opens a new world of Hong Kong animated films.
Hong Kong, once known as "Oriental Hollywood", has a developed film industry, but animation production is very scarce. So far, it is difficult to find an animation masterpiece that Hong Kong people are proud of. Hong Kong's screen is full of animated works from Japan and Hollywood. The sensation caused by the release of McDull Story has made Hong Kong audiences and Hong Kong filmmakers see the future of Hong Kong animated films. Without Hollywood-style three-dimensional animation technology and the Japanese's peculiar imagination, an out-and-out Hong Kong film story has made the audience applaud in unison, which must be attributed to the efforts of Brian Tse and Alice Mak.
Brian Tse and Alice Mak are husband and wife partners in the Hong Kong comic industry. Their works are unique in Hong Kong, completely different from the popular martial arts comics in Hong Kong. Not only are the characters more lovely, but the stories are also suitable for all ages. Mcdull's story is part of the comic series Mcdull, which they started to create in 1988. When it was adapted into a movie, the content of the story was partially changed to be closer to the audience. The images of Mai Mai and McDull in the comic book Mai Mai are not unfamiliar to Hong Kong people, because they are common in stationery and toys in Hong Kong. The story of McMug and McDull also appeared on Hong Kong TV, and Brian Tse and Alice Mak always wanted to make it into a movie. Originally, the film was intended to be released in the summer of 20001year, but it was not completed in a hurry for quality. After careful carving, it was postponed to the Christmas schedule.
If Hong Kong's kung fu films are dying, then the production of Hong Kong cartoons can be said to have not really started. Some people in the Hong Kong film industry even think that making an animated film is more profitable than making a special VCD film, which naturally undermines the confidence of investors and creators.
Especially in the overall downturn of the Hong Kong film market, Brian Tse and Alice Mak really admire their courage and confidence. Facing Hollywood's three-dimensional animation masterpiece Monster Company and Miyazaki Hayao's hand-drawn two-dimensional animation film Spirited Away, McDull's story is obviously backward in technology, but its creator's enthusiasm for betting and the local appeal of the story make up for other shortcomings. In addition to the benefits and influence of the film itself, it has inspired the enthusiasm of Hong Kong filmmakers for animation creation and the confidence of investors as never before. Perhaps with the encouragement of "McDull" spirit, Hong Kong's animation creation can break into a new world. If so, McDull is not only a legend in the animation industry in Hong Kong, but also a successful pioneer in the history of animation in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's return to the motherland 10 anniversary literary performance, with an animated film opening. In the short film, the cartoon child "McDull", who was rated as the most representative of the image of Hong Kong people, came to watch the party with his mother, Mai Tai, in anticipation. Mcdull, full of milk, kept thinking "Look at President Hu, want to sign" and kept asking his mother "Do you have an autograph book and an eraser?" "Mai Tai" educated his son: "It is better to practice Mandarin." I also asked my son why there was no class tomorrow. "Because it is 1 year in July, the anniversary of the return of Hong Kong. Every child knows. " This interesting conversation made everyone laugh.
[Edit this paragraph] Classic paragraph:
1, the tea restaurant opened by the principal is downstairs in the kindergarten, and our little classmates often go there after class.
Mcdull: Fish balls, please.
Principal: Rough noodles.
McDull: Really? A bowl of fish balls and rice noodles.
Client: spittoon pill.
McDull: Really? I want tripe and coarse noodles.
Principal: Rough noodles.
Mcdull: Er, I want fish balls and noodles with oil.
Client: spittoon pill.
Mcdull: Why is there nothing? That's cuttlefish balls and coarse noodles.
Principal: Rough noodles.
Mcdull: It's sold out again. Bowl of fish balls and rice noodles, please.
Client: spittoon pill.
Kitten: McDull, fish balls and coarse noodles are all sold out. It's just that there are no fish balls and coarse noodles.
Mcdull: Oh, there is no such match. Fish balls, please.
Client: spittoon pill.
McDull: What about the coarse flour?
Principal: Rough noodles.
2. McDull said the most touching thing.
"Holding a steamed stuffed bun, I suddenly understood that some things, nothing is nothing, nothing is nothing, no fish balls, no rough noodles, no trip to Maldives, no medals, no treasure of Zhang Baozai, and Zhang Baozai has never eaten steamed stuffed buns. It turns out to be stupid, not so funny, stupid will fail, disappointment is not so funny, fat is not necessarily funny, fat is not necessarily bad, strong is not necessarily good. Take it.
3. McDull's wish
My wish is to be a primary school principal. Go to eat hot pot after collecting students' tuition every day. Eat spicy hot pot today, salmon hot pot tomorrow and pig bone hot pot the day after tomorrow. Teacher Chen praised me straight-"McDull, you finally found the true meaning of life." ~!

lyrics
Mcdull
Word: Fan Chongqu: Zhang Shan
Album: McDull
Singer: Shao Yuhan
I ate six barbecued pork buns last night.
But my stomach is still growling with hunger.
Because I created six sets of boxing myself.
Maybe I can't digest barbecued pork after practicing too much.
McDull is a large size given to me by others.
Mrs. Mai is my dear mother and big brother.
My favorite food since childhood is turkey burger.
You can eat it from laundry street to prince Edward road.
When I read the report about the Olympic Games
I am so happy that I can't sleep.
Try to grow taller every day.
I want all the gold medals
I want to eat barbecued pork buns
You'd better give me the biggest drumstick burger.
I will try to grow taller every day.
Waving my six fists.
I want to eat barbecued pork buns
You'd better give me the biggest drumstick burger.
Dreams are like soap bubbles.
I can fly higher by the wind.
I want a chicken leg hamburger.
I will try to grow taller.
Give me a chicken leg hamburger.
I want a chicken leg hamburger.
