However, then again, works with a good reputation rarely encounter a cold reception at the box office, and the situation of "The Shawshank Redemption" being snubbed by the audience is also because it rarely appears, it has always been used by the outside world to satirize the kitsch and popcorn in the film market, the real situation is that the box office performance of "Spirited Away" is very good-

In the first week, it directly won the data of 1.2 billion.

For an animated film, the box office of 1.2 billion in the first week is definitely not a small amount, not to mention that in addition to the domestic situation in China, "Spirited Away" also got a box office of 800 million in a single week abroad.

The gap with the country is quite large.

But this is also what Luo Yuan expected, "Spirited Away" is more full of culture from the East, and although the West's acceptance of Eastern culture has gradually improved in recent years, it is impossible to like all of them at once The style belonging to the East, so although the performance of "Spirited Away" in the Western market is not bad, it is obviously not so popular.

And that's not all.

Crimson's work this time also made some Western audiences express their dissatisfaction, they feel that the content of this movie is obscure, and Luo Yuan's movie has begun to tell the audience a big truth, instead of the same as before, which can make everyone laugh easily.

Fortunately, there are not many such voices.

Even if you look at the world, there are definitely a lot of viewers who know the goods, and some Western audiences also have a high evaluation of this animated film, they believe that although this animated movie is a bit difficult to understand, they can still feel the basic things conveyed by the animation, and even, some Western audiences have also bought movie tickets for the second time and swiped this movie twice, so that they can understand what Luo Yuan's script hopes to express.

"The picture is beautiful. ”

"I was impressed by Director Luo's imagination, for me, I would prefer to be in that world rather than in the world, and once again express my envy for Dongfang to have such an excellent director as Luo Yuan. ”

"Spirited Away is actually one person. ”

"At this point, my impression is that the whole film is satirizing the deformed social form under the financial crisis. A capital bubble has created a theme park on a wilderness mountain; greedy parents see the temptation and feast on it, anyway, they have a credit card, and in the end they can only become fat pigs to be slaughtered; the huge soup house is a company, and those who don't have a job will be turned into coal ash and burned, and those who have a job will become screws who lose themselves, and Grandpa Boiler is even more typical - in order to survive, Chihiro has to integrate first, fortunately, she is a person who has a goal to pursue, and there will be a white dragon, Facelings and other nobles help each other, especially the old acquaintance White Dragon, it seems that the past experience is destined to bring today's results, and only by finding oneself can one transform. ”

"This work is a detergent for the soul!"

"The girl's growth story to explore the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, in the face of the temptation of the world, we are often alienated, lost our original identity, and only through growth, through self-breakthrough, can we complete the redemption of ourselves, to achieve reconciliation with the world, at the end of the film, the same is looking at the long tunnel, everything is like a world apart, and we all know that Chihiro is no longer the little girl she used to be. ”

“......”

There are also discussion platforms for similar forums abroad.

These comments have been put in a very high position, which also shows that the promotion of oriental culture overseas has achieved initial results, even if there are some voices that are not liked, after all, there are more people who like it, in fact, cultural differences are not so easy to eliminate, just like the Marvel series in the previous life was so popular, there will still be some situations that Chinese audiences do not understand, such as why the box office of "Black Panther" can be so strong......

Those who don't understand also include Luo Yuan.

Therefore, Luo Yuan can understand those Western audiences who don't understand the good of "Spirited Away", but this does not mean that Luo Yuan will deliberately make compromise changes for this group of people, integrating Eastern and Western cultures, he is already doing it, but this kind of integration is by no means flattering to Western culture, Luo Yuan's movies, no matter how popular they are in the West, actually still belong to the East There are more cultural elements, after all, adapting the works that originally belonged to the West in the previous life into a Chinese version of the movie can be regarded as Luo Yuan's challenge to himself.

No doubt.

The result of 1.2 billion yuan in the first week made "Spirited Away" the absolute first place in the weekly box office list in China, and on the basis of the outside world's evaluation of the father of Luoyuan animated films, there is one more one, that is, "animation master".

The father of animated cinema represents the first step.

And the name of the animation master represents the level.

However, Luo Yuan felt embarrassed when he heard the title of "Master of Animated Films", firstly, this work was not made by himself, he just wrote the script and participated in part of the design, and secondly, the name of "Master of Animated Films" in his previous life was to describe a fierce man like Hayao Miyazaki, and if he put it on his head, Luo Yuan felt ashamed.

All in all.

This work, not being given a cold reception at the box office, has already made Luo Yuan satisfied, he feels that he is not ashamed of this work, and the word-of-mouth of this animated film is also continuing to ferment, in addition to familiar film critics like Fang Zhao, there are many other film critics, who also expressed their love for "Spirited Away", and even some industry insiders who are known for their strictness and are not interested in Luo Yuan are also rare to express their recognition of this work.

For example, Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu doesn't like the accurate commercial rhythm in Luo Yuan's movies, she often feels that Luo Yuan's movies have no spirituality, and no matter how high the box office is, it is just a mirage, and it can't really leave anything in the hearts of the audience, so in the past, Zhang Lu often gave Luo Yuan's movies a low score in film reviews, but since watching "Spirited Away", Zhang Lu has fallen into a depression.

She found that Luo Yuan was not without talent.

If Luo Yuan is willing to display his talent, it will be terrifying, amazing, incredible, and can even make himself drunk to orgasm, his evaluation of Luo Yuan in the past has suddenly become very ridiculous, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Lu should feel embarrassed, but in fact, Zhang Lu doesn't feel embarrassed, she really just feels ridiculous and pity......

In fact, Zhang Lu understands the truth.

But she still thinks it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous that she's superficial, but it's a pity, why does an excellent director like Luo Yuan want to make a commercial film like "Iron Man" that has no nutritional value, and doesn't make more thoughtful and in-depth works like "Spirited Away"?
