Chapter 175: NC-17 Class
The final end is to play both console and PC.
After the news was released through the marketing department's informal channels, many people were in an uproar. There are expectations, and there are doubts, and everyone guesses that the end end is just a direct porting of the current game to the console and PC side.
In fact, the picture quality of the current Star God of War mobile game is very clear, even if it is directly transplanted to the console and PC, the quality will be very high, and you can continue to make money after changing the version. However, I am afraid that everyone will be very disappointed, after all, there is not much novelty.
It can only be said that something is better than nothing.
But after the next news leaked, everyone was taken by surprise: the animated movie "God of War 2" was submitted for review, and film distributors around the world began to be contacted.
God of War 2? Movie?
Isn't that too fast.
But the whistleblower vowed to be frank, and many details were exposed, which didn't look like a fake.
The disc of "Star War 2" has indeed been sent to radio and television, and the leaders have watched it more than once. It is undeniable that this is a very powerful movie, much more exciting than the first one, and it is exciting to watch. It's a pity that they are not simple audiences, but after the stimulation, they feel very tricky, and they dare not approve the certificate for the release.
The review of our radio and television is relatively strict, but the Star War 2 animated movie does not violate any regulations, there is no yellow plot, and there are no other sensitive plots, *It is said that it can pass the review.
But there is a very embarrassing situation in China: there is no classification system for film and television.
What's even more embarrassing is that animated films have always been treated as children's films, and the review is even stricter. The God of War was born for violence, and if it is a foreign animated film, don't even think about entering the Chinese market.
But the question is, the Star God of War is a domestic company, is this better than to be reviewed? There is really no precedent for this, and there has never been such a bad animated film in China. If it is banned, radio and television may be cursed again. Civility is pedantic and harsh, and to put it more deeply, it is contrary to the will of the people.
But if it was a guò, wouldn't the parents protest? The Chinese population is more than one billion, there are more people, people's hearts are more complicated, and it is impossible to unify thinking.
"Why don't we drag it out first?"
"Okay, let's drag it out and see."
The release permit has not come down for a long time. But the final end did not stop the work because of this, mainly looking for companies to cooperate with the distribution.
The final end does not have its own distribution channel, and if you want to release it in the film line, you also need a middleman, which is often referred to as a film distribution company. In China, there are China Film, Huayi, Shanghai Film, etc., and in the United States, Warner Bros., Columbia, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, etc., these distribution companies have great interest in "Star War 2", and after receiving the invitation, they have come to watch the film.
Different from other Chinese films. It's hard to find a release, and no one wants to send it. God of War is now a global fame, not to mention the wow that the first animated movie brought to everyone, and now mobile games still occupy the top of the major app stores. Distributing such a movie is bound to make a lot of money.
Of course, the premise is that the production of the film is good enough.
The domestic Su chose China Film, and the other party promised that "Star War 2" could get the distribution treatment of Hollywood blockbusters. China Film is a state-owned enterprise. has a mature shadow channel, and is still a monopoly distributor of imported films, and now the other party promises to give good treatment. In the end, there is no reason to refuse to cooperate.
In the West, in the end, after a long time of hesitating on Warner and Disney, they finally chose Warner. Although Disney also releases live-action movies, the color of children's animation is too strong, and when you think of Disney, you probably think of children, which is obviously inconsistent with the style of Star War.
The negotiations went smoothly, but what worried Su the most was that the domestic review had not come down for a long time, and the review on the American side seemed to have problems, and Warner gave them a bad signal.
Two days later, Warner finally sent a clear report: "God of War 2" was classified as NC-17 by the Motion Picture Association of America.
"How is that possible!"
This is almost the highest rating for American films, and audiences aged 17 and under are forbidden to watch it, and even Hollywood filmmakers have changed their tone about this rating and avoided it.
Because this means that a large part of the audience will be turned away from the cinema, which will directly affect the box office revenue of the film. What's more, God of War is still an animated movie, and teenagers themselves account for a large share, and this rating is clearly to push "God of War 2" into the fire pit.
You must understand that Hong Kong's tertiary movies are put in the United States, that is, NC-17, and most of the movies in this classification are color films and horror films.
"We need to appeal!" Concubine Su said angrily to Warner's people.
Warner's people actually wondered if it was too bad, and such a change was not good for them, after all, their income was also linked to the box office. However, when she heard Concubine Su say that she wanted to appeal, she said euphemistically: "You have the right to appeal, but it is probably useless, if they delay it for a month or two, it will delay the release time." ”
"Can't you fix a few of the bloodier places?" Concubine Su refused to give up the opportunity to revise the classification.
"Just give up! It is not possible to change the classification again this time. Warner, on the other hand, was negative, as if he knew something, but he refused to say it explicitly, and his words were slurred.
Coincidentally, the review departments of Western countries, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other countries and regions have classified "Star War 2" as restricted, and only adults can watch it.
Oppose? Complaint? They are very democratic and have a very legal system, and they allow you to have the right to complain, but whether the complaint is valid or not is another matter. Internally, it is loosely managed, but externally it is uniformly harsh.
In American movies, it's nothing to scold the president, but if it's a movie from other countries that insults the president, you don't want to enter the land of America.
Although the Star God of War is not pornographic, it has violent elements, and it is also a cartoon, they need to pay attention to the physical and mental health of children and teenagers, and it sounds like a reasonable explanation, no matter how much you argue, it is just powerless, and it is impossible to reverse this situation.
"Compared with the first part, the violent and bloody pictures of Star War 2 have been artistically processed, and the bloodiness is even lower than the first part, but the first part is only R-level, and the second part is NC-17, don't they clearly want to bully us!"
Concubine Su is a gentle woman, even speaking softly, although she is married, she is still loved by many male compatriots in the company. But this time, he couldn't help but be hysterical, grinning his teeth, as if he was about to bite someone, which showed the anger in his heart
