THE TEAM...
The production for BLING brought together an internationally renowned crew whose body of work includes global blockbusters like 'Pirates of the Caribbean', 'The Lord of the Rings trilogy' and 'The Face Reader'.
This summer, get ready for one of the most exciting animated features ever made. Packed with comedy, adventure and beautiful visuals, Bling is the culmination of four years of hard work by a multinational and multi-talented team. South Korea’s leading animation studio DigiArt collaborated with some of the top names in Hollywood to produce one of the year’s most anticipated animated films.
Notable collaborators on this film include Emmy Award-winning composer Geoff Zanelli, whose music can be heard in Pirates of the Caribbean, and acclaimed sound designer Dave Whitehead who brought the soundscapes of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Snowpiercer to life. The film was edited by one of Korea’s leading editors Kim Chang Joo, whose previous work includes Snowpiercer, The Face Reader and Roaring Currents. Their talents combined with the animation of the DigiArt production team are sure to make Bling a real crowd-pleaser from image to sound.
THE CHARACTERS...
BLING features a zany cast of characters that guarantee a fun time for all. In a unique twist on an old tale, BLING reinvents three central characters from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West as a “robot trio” who assist our hero on his quest to save his city and find love.
Three main characters from the historical classic Chinese novel Journey to the West are re-imagined as the “robot trio” KIT, OKRA and WILMER – AI robot friends built by our hero Sam. The production team reinterpreted the literary characters’ traits into personalities suitable for fun animated characters. Kit, originally a fearless rebel in the novel, is depicted as a robot with a big mouth and a big heart (but perhaps lacking in the skills to back up either). Okra’s literary inspiration was a pessimistic character, so the team transformed him into a cynical robot. The third character, a boisterous optimist, evolved into joyful eating machine robot Wilmer. Sam originally creates the three robots to perform a Journey to the West themed show for his theme park job, but because of his tendency to screw things up, he only succeeds in making more trouble for himself and his inventions. In the end, Sam and his “robot trio” figure out how to get out of their own messes and become lifelong friends along the way.
Bling’s cast of characters is full and complex, with even the villain OSCAR revealing more than what’s on the surface – this super-villain hides a romantic soul who still pines for his childhood sweetheart. In between our motley crew of heroes and destructive villain is a range of fun characters from SUE the pretty reporter and MINITARS the mini robot to the hilariously enraged Mr.Glump. With a cast that draws inspiration all the way from eastern classic literature to contemporary science fiction, there truly is someone for everyone in Bling.
THE WORLD OF BLING...
BLING takes place in an original future city that sparks the imagination and serves as a unique backdrop for electrifying action sequences.
The world created for this futuristic adventure-comedy features something new and visionary to enjoy in every scene. From providing the stage for epic battle sequences to quick gags, the environments built for Bling are characters in and of themselves.
At first glance, Bling’s cities may seem comparable to the modern-day cities we live in, but a closer look will reveal cars driving on sky-ways and artificial intelligence robots strolling down the sidewalks. Bling also features dynamic action scenes made all the more innovative by the world in which they take place. Hang on to your seats as Sam’s robot friends chase one another seamlessly from ground roads to sky-ways and dodge the many inventive booby traps of Oscar the villain. Gasp and marvel during the epic final battle between Sam’s robots and Oscar’s humongous monster-robot, all against the backdrop of an innovative future city that challenges the imagination. The world of Bling is full of surprises, and audiences of all ages are invited to step in.
THE PRODUCTION...
Director Kyung Ho Lee discusses his experience overseeing Bling, an ambitious project that took four years to complete with a team from all over the world.
What made you want to direct Bling?...
.- “When we started writing the script, I wanted to convey the idea that most people’s sense of self-worth comes from having great things rather than doing great acts. In Bling, the human characters like Sam and Oscar focus on proving their worth to their love interests with materialistic displays like the giving of diamond rings. Meanwhile, the robot characters actually show more humanity with their straightforward expressions of love and friendship. Sure, it’s a little cliché, but it’s a lesson we keep forgetting and having to re-learn: you show who you are by what you do and say, not what you have. And showing who you really are is the most fundamental part of building any relationship.”
You worked with a diverse and prestigious team - did you have any memorable experiences with anyone while directing Bling?...
.- “The most memorable moment occurred when Geoff [Zanelli] and I were working on the soundtrack. At the studio, I tried composing or selecting existing tunes and melodies that would go well with scenes of the film. When I explained the tone and feeling I wanted to capture to Geoff, he would immediately play something that evoked the exact tone I described on his guitar. That was a perfect moment of harmony.”
How did you re-create the main trio of characters from the novel Journey to the West?...
.- “In Asia, the characters from Journey to the West are well-known and have strong characteristics that I knew we could adapt well for our film’s story. They’re each very different from each other, but their strengths and weaknesses complement each other as a whole to make them a great team and good teachers for Sam, who needs to realize and overcome his own shortcomings. I made sure to give each character a strong identity: Kit the fighter, Okra the intellectual and Wilmer the eating machine. Their skills all come together in the film’s hilarious climax where Okra comes up with the idea to use Wilmer’s flatulence and Kit’s magic stick to defeat the villain.”
Did you use a particular process to create the film’s locations and action scenes?...
.- “We designed the city to be a hybrid of Seoul and New York and even modified the Statue of Liberty to resemble Sue [Sam’s girlfriend] to echo her importance to Sam in the film. The road to the theme park in the villain Oscar’s flashback was modeled after the Olympic highway which I’ve always found interesting. For the action scenes, I tried to simulate live-action shots by using hand-held, crane camera and drone shot techniques in the pre-visualization stage. This visual style, along with the fast-paced editing and frequent cuts, helped to make the action sequences feel more urgent and lively.”
What overall message do you hope audiences take away from this film?...
.- “We try to present ourselves as someone we aren’t to impress others. But the greatest gift you can give to someone you love is to show your true self and your true feelings. If there’s someone you love right now, at this very moment, let them know!”
