Chapter 990: "Your Name"
The design of the prototype can even be said to be very crude, and his best thing is his grasp of the story, as well as the description of details, which is his specialty.
But this time, he gave him a surprise that couldn't be bigger in the place he was best at!
The beauty of the picture is naturally carved and delicate, it is like an illusory reflection of a girl's emotional world, blending the youth and weakness of the beginning of love, the innocence and purity far from the world, and the delicate and moving emotional outpouring in the plot.
The beauty of the painting style is not only the form used by the film to please the audience, but also the externalization of the idealized inner theme of pure love and adolescent emotional growth!
"Uncle Youze, this is for you, the details are optimized or handed over to you, if I suggest, try to be as close to reality as possible...... If you want to frame it, this may be a problem for you. ”
"No problem at all. ”
Luo Yue Yu nodded secretly while watching, although it is not a long-form anime, but the theme is clear, as long as you put some effort into drawing, it is completely enough to put this work on the big screen, but if you want to pursue quality, the speed of this production may not be as fast as other works before An Xi can meet everyone.
"So, what about its name?"
"Your name. ”
Makoto Shinkai, Brother Cheng is also one of the cartoonists that An Xi admires the most, "Your Name" is also his work, and his works can always be fine, realistic, beautiful, and bright picture style to constitute the fresh and refined beauty of his animation, and at the same time, he is good at combining narrative themes such as separation, blocking, waiting, and searching with emotional expressions such as longing, melancholy, loneliness, and loss into the film's inner innocent romance.
This complementarity of "outer beauty" and "inner feelings" has been used throughout his animation career, making all his works maintain a high degree of unity in terms of painting style, theme, and even story structure.
However, in this consistent style, his scattered cultural narrative constructed by relying on the inner monologues of the characters has not reached the realm of the author's film of "scattered form but not dispersed", but instead makes his films show a loose story structure, and there is a suspicion that the form is greater than the content.
After going through a number of animated short films and feature films, Makoto Shinkai finally overcame the criticized narrative flaws by exploiting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and thus he had this masterpiece "Your Name", which combines the beauty of the picture, the purity of emotion, and the fullness of the plot.
An Xi is based on Makoto Shinkai, combined with some wonderful movie reviews he has watched, as well as his own experience accumulated over the years.
A new story created around the theme of "Your Name".
"Your name?" Combined with the comics he just read, Luo Yue Yu seemed to be touched by this name at this moment, "It's very suitable, An Xijun, so, how much money are you going to invest this time? Recently, the company's funds have been a little tight, and I can't finish working overtime to produce so many anime at the same time." ”
"Five million. ”
"This ...... Less. Luo Yueyou was also a little embarrassed, he subconsciously thought it was five million yen, to be honest, if it was only five million yen, he could take it himself, but the next look made him stunned, and asked cautiously, "Dollars?"
An Xi nodded, he counted money now, and he was basically used to using it in dollars, "Well~~~ should ...... That's enough, right?"
"Enough is enough, enough is enough, An Xijun, you have really become rich recently. ”
"Because this is my anime cut last month. ”
“……”
Well,This Nima's is really speechless.,Luo Yue Yu smiled helplessly.,A-1Pictures is now like working for Anxi.,Among the several anime that are currently being vigorously promoted,,Anxi's anime is the most popular.,And it has also gained a very high income.。
But the work pressure is also very great, so that Luo Yueyou has to expand the recruitment, but the income of Anxi doesn't care about these, he can collect as much as he wants, and the risks are basically borne by his side, which is very helpless, but it is also very realistic.
However, in the end, Yumo Rakugoshi is actually worthy of it, with the anime of Anxi, now A-1Pictures is almost the largest and most famous anime production agency in Japan, and even Studio Ghibli is slightly inferior!
"So, what are you going to do with him?"
"I wanted to make it into a film that would set a new box office record for Japanese anime films. ”
"The ambition is really not small, with an investment of five million US dollars, and the funds are also sufficient, but let me introduce you to the box office sharing model of Japanese films. Let's say you buy a 1,800 yen theatrical animated film "The Shape of Sound" at the Movix Cinema in Tokyo, where the Movix Cinema will get 900 yen, 630 to 810 yen will be given to the production committee, and the remaining 90 to 270 yen will be given to the publisher Shochiku. ”
"There are also some small films that will adopt a non-sharing model and directly buy theatrical release schedules. As a major film company such as Toho, it not only leads its own production committee, but also has its own cinema chain of 64 movie theaters all over Japan. Like the Movix theater mentioned above, it is actually Shochiku's own theater, so most of the box office share of "The Shape of Sound" should also be obtained by Shochiku. Film companies can only ensure that their box office revenue is maximized by setting up their own cinema chains. ”
"So you mean, if we don't have a theater, the profits will be divided a lot?"
"In terms of theaters, the price can be negotiated, and it will not be divided a lot, and you, as a distributor and producer, at the very least, can get 30% of the box office revenue. ”
"Sancheng?. ”
"It's already a lot, you eat meat, you can't even let others drink the soup, our company also has to survive. Luo Yueyou said with a wry smile, after removing the cost, A-1Pictures will at least share 10% of the box office profits, and the theater chain and others will share 60%, which is roughly the case.
"No, I just think it's a bit much. ”
Japan's local Sancheng?
That's enough!
"Your Name" is not only about the local box office in Japan, although the Japanese market is also very broad, but in comparison, An Xi attaches more importance to the Chinese market, which is a huge market that is enough for a movie to hit the Hollywood blockbuster. However, for films in China's local market, the share is about the same amount.
And with this kind of cooperation, with the rise of the box office, the profit that this distributor can get is also higher!
