Chapter 366: The Great Sage Returns
Chapter 366: The Great Sage Returns
"So in fact, the mainland doesn't seem to care about our movies at all this time." Mitsumi Fukuda looked at the report sent back with a sigh of relief, "Does this mean that your status has declined?" β
"The global box office of 800 million US dollars, what do you say?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.
"So I should give Miyamoto a salary increase, how about you set up his own studio under the company?"
"I don't think it matters," Shen Zhenghui tilted his head, "Anyway, I think he can't do without the group of good friends in his ACG circle, especially this "FateZero", which made him completely famous, and because of this, he was included in the ACG circle." β
"You think it's bad for him to do this?" Mitsumi Fukuda continued to ask, "Why don't you do the same about yourself?" You know, you haven't broken through your Magic Apprentice yet, have you? Why don't you say that you yourself are in the circle of Western Fantasy? β
"You know, before 'Apprentice Magic', I did action movies like 'New Police Story' and 'Windforest High School', so filming Western Fantasy and succeeding was a breakthrough for me, and I was different from Peter Jackson."
"Really?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked rhetorically.
"Of course I'm serious!" Shen Zhenghui spread his hands and said, "Comparatively," he paused, "Although Mr. Miyamoto has more experience, he does have too narrow vision and interests, of course, who called him a Japanese?" However, the career of adapting anime to live-action movies is enough for him to be busy for the rest of his life. β
"So, this time the mainland officials slightly suppressed our box office, but it actually has nothing to do with the Wang family's affairs?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked abruptly.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zhenghui asked in amazement.
Mitsumi Fukuda pouted. "You probably haven't read the latest TG news insider," she said, "Wang Anping's uncle." A major general, resigned. β
"His uncle is not in good health." Shen Zhenghui replied, "I have always worked with illness, but now that I am old, I just applied for early retirement, not resignation." β
"Ah," Mitsumi Fukuda touched her chin. "Her father had just been promoted to general, and I thought there were certain joints in this, such as that two brothers could not be generals at the same time. Perhaps his uncle gave up the promotion of lieutenant general in order to fulfill his brother. β
Shen Zhenghui was a little helpless, "You think too much, even if you want to avoid suspicion." You can also transfer to teach or do strategic research. There is no such thing as zΓ i, you have to resign, and avoid suspicion. β
"Oh? Is it? Mitsumi Fukuda's answer was meaningful.
"So what else have you heard?" Shen Zhenghui asked helplessly.
"No, what I know is no different from what the public media know," Mitsumi Fukuda pursed her lips, "If anything, it's that they rely on speculation for a lot of things, but I know the reality." β
"Does this reality have anything to do with me?"
"Of course," Mitsumi Fukuda said, pretending to be surprised, "don't you know?" Your rival Li Rui's father was ...... by Shuanggui"
"I already know this. You don't need to emphasize it," Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath. "Even if I experience it again, I still feel a little complicated!"
"Really? If you meet Li Rui at this time, will you feel more complicated? Mitsumi Fukuda asked, tilting her head.
"Do you know where he is?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"He went abroad a month before his father was arrested, and now it looks like his parents are really protecting him, you know, a lot of things are going to be easy if you want to open a gap in him."
Shen Zhenghui was noncommittal.
"Now that his parents have been arrested, TG must arrange a curtain call that may be beautiful or absurd, but it doesn't matter, he is now wandering abroad in a hurry, if he accidentally sees the rival he once treated cruelly, especially if this rival is now much better off than him, what do you think of his mood?"
"He can't be cruel to me, he always says that I am his rival in love, and I will not admit it myself." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand, "This is completely wishful thinking on his part. β
"Your attitude may hurt people even more." Mitsumi Fukuda pondered, "Sun Jingfang's father retired on time, and Sun Jingfang himself was able to work in his father's original unit, is this some kind of exchange?" β
"Whatever you think." Shen Zhenghui replied, "But as far as I'm concerned, I prefer to focus on movies. β
"Looks like you were really injured in the first place! Are you in a hurry to make a new film? β
"No, it's "The Return of the Great Sage" that is going to be released." Shen Zhenghui replied, frowning at the sentence "It's really not light".
"We don't invest much in this film," Mitsumi Fukuda blinked, "mainly because you heard that you will invest in this film, so you have the courage to send money," she paused, "I really hope to see this movie lose money at the box office, and it will be miserable in the end." β
"I don't think that's possible." Shen Zhenghui pouted, "But I still did the director a small favor, the release in China is a 2-hour version, and it is not easy for the distributor and the theater chain to agree to this condition." β
"If Miss Wang talks about it, what conditions can't be discussed?" Mitsumi Fukuda snorted, "Aren't you going to stuff that Miss Sun into your harem as well?" In this way, the quality of China in your harem will be greatly improved. β
"Okay, don't talk about this, don't mention it in front of Liu Xin." Shen Zhenghui glared at Mitsumi Fukuda fiercely, "You guys have given me enough headaches." β
"It seems that middle-aged women are no longer very attractive to you," Mitsumi Fukuda said to herself, "Do you still think about your post-80s?" She's graduated now, right? β
What Shen Zhenghui is thinking about now is: Ning Huan, where are you? I'm going to strangle you!
Shen Zhenghui's face darkened. His eyes unexpectedly stared at Mitsumi Fukuda.
Mitsumi Fukuda spread her hands, "I just know." β
Shen Zhenghui licked his lips and shook his finger at her. Word by word, he said, "Don't talk about it again, and I won't have sex with other women again." It's so tiring and boring. β
"You lost interest in life at such a young age," Mitsumi Fukuda's eyes widened, "and this is the expression of the artist's beginning to lose his creative power." β
"That's enough," Shen Zhenghui raised his hand. "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", how many screens can be on the screen in Japan?"
"500 pieces." Mitsumi Fukuda continued to stare at Shen Zhenghui, almost trying to see his true reaction from his micro-expressions, "In this way, getting married as a man is really a great growth for him. β
"Marriage is not. Having children is. Shen Zhenghui squeezed his eyes at her. There is some helplessness.
"Liu Xin is pregnant?"
"I will finally be able to calm down for a while during the Chinese New Year next year." Shen Zhenghui sighed, "When the time comes, you will have to find someone to take over her work." β
"Let her find it herself." Mitsumi Fukuda said nonchalantly, "So it's really good news that Ling has a younger brother playing." β
"I didn't say boys."
"If it's a girl, your attitude should be no different from that after Ling was born."
Shen Zhenghui's face flushed, "This is completely different," he argued, "After all, I'm thirty-five years old." The mind is completely different from when I was twenty-five. β
"So did you have children or no children in your last life? Is it a boy or a girl? Mitsumi Fukuda asked bluntly.
Shen Zhenghui stared at her eyes for a long time, and the other party looked at him without flinching. Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "What kind of box office results do you think "The Return of the Great Sage" can get?" I think at least China can reach 500 million, and Japan has 200 million or 300 million. He said as he walked to the side.
"You mean the yen?"
"RMB! The yen can't pay back at all! β
Shen Zhenghui, who suddenly erupted, turned around and came face to face with Mitsumi Fukuda again.
"So you have a name for the kid in mind?"
"Naturally, this is for his grandfather and grandmother to pick it up." Shen Zhenghui did not flinch.
"Oh?" Mitsumi Fukuda held her chin, "So it was a big mistake that I didn't let your parents choose the name in the first place?" β
"Yes, if you are shrewd enough, you have been Madame Shen for ten years." Shen Zhenghui's tone rose slightly.
"I'd love to know," Fukuda Mitsumi smiled slightly, "If Wang Anping is pregnant, then who chooses the child's name?" β
Shen Zhenghui was stunned.
"You're not going to die, are you?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked, and then she replied to herself, "Maybe they'll just force you to divorce and get married again." Oh......" he seemed to remember something, "Of course, maybe Wang Anping won't do this, but I don't know if Wang Anran will be just as calm." You know," she squeezed out a big smile, "her dad is a general." β

"The Return of the Great Sage" was released after "FateZero", and there seem to be too many good films in 2010, from "Avatar" at the end of last year to the next painting of "FateZero" in July, and the big-box office films in the middle are co-produced except for imports. On the annual box office list, "Avatar" topped the list with 1.383 billion yuan, followed by "FateZero" and "The King of Fighters 1994", followed by "Alice in Wonderland", but the box office of these three films was only more than 200 million yuan, which was a huge difference from the first place. Domestic films seem to be holding back their efforts, and big names such as Chen, Feng, and Jiang have all scheduled their works to be released as Chinese New Year films at the end of the year. and "FateZero" was released in the same file as "Iron Man 2", which achieved a box office of 179 million yuan, and "Ip Man 2" still achieved a box office of nearly 200 million yuan under the eyes of the crowd, which can be regarded as a relief to investors. Just when a group of small domestic films were gearing up to follow the end of the blockbuster, a domestic cartoon was released - "The Return of the Great Sage".
This film did not take the initiative to have anything to do with Shen Zhenghui in terms of publicity, nor did it advertise that it was produced by Shen Zhenghui's wife, but "The Return of the Great Sage", as a monkey-themed cartoon, is still eye-catching enough, after all, the box office record of domestic cartoons set by "The Legend of Wukong" a few years ago is still there. In terms of publicity, "The Return of the Great Sage" seems to be a little clumsy, but it can't stand the 3D animation effect and the production of conscience, and all the people who have seen this movie have begun to spontaneously offer Amway to people they know or don't know through various channels.
Then when the spontaneous popularity reached a height, the box office steadily increased at a pace of 10 million per day, and on the fourth day, it steadily exceeded 100 million, which completely stunned the filmmakers and ordinary audiences in the film industry. It seems that if this rate is maintained, it seems that the Avatar will be completely destroyed in the first month of release. Of course, this is entirely an imagination. After the publicity and distribution team accumulated a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ in word-of-mouth and box office, they finally released a lot of publicity materials. A large number of original art designs, peripherals, figures, etc., even if it is not counted, in terms of publicity, the team also began to sell stories, and at this time, Shen Zhenghui was involved, publicizing how the director discovered Director Tian with wisdom and talent, and provided a qiΔ convenience when the film was made in Japan.
The newly famous director Monty. Ohm also became an enthusiastic guide to "The Return of the Great Sage", so "The Return of the Great Sage" seems to have become an accidental masterpiece of idealists. γ
At the same time, when the domestic box office is shocking, the Japanese box office also shows a certain abnormality. Japanese audiences seem to have been stimulated this year to accumulate years of enthusiasm for watching movies, and the theme of "The Return of the Great Sage" has also stimulated their enthusiasm for watching movies, and the box office of China and Japan seems to be growing in tandem with each other. So in terms of publicity, in addition to the copywriting that promotes overseas prestige, there is another slogan not to lose to Japan.
The soaring box office has become the best publicity tool, and in a short period of time, "The Return of the Great Sage" unceremoniously exploded the chrysanthemums of the movies on the box office list in turn. By the third week, it was firmly behind "Avatar" and ranked first in the history of cartoons. Even classics such as "The Legend of Wukong" and "Puhai Fortress" can only be relied upon, and they have been lifted down by it. In recent years, the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf series, which are not recognized as the progressive force of Chinese animation, and the bear infested series have been tragically ravaged.
The Chinese people were deeply shocked. It's like a sign of great progress, as if overnight, domestic cartoons have reached a surprising level of development. And this record makes many people ashamed and puzzled, and it seems that it can only be simply explained that the development of the Chinese film market has reached such a point that even a domestic animated film can reach this box office. Of course, there will be more things that subvert the three views in the film market in the future. In any case, when "The Return of the Great Sage" was drawn, the box office of up to 600 million was enough to show its own historical status, and at the same time, the overseas box office of close to 10 billion yen made the producer and the distributor unable to keep their mouths together, and the "People's Daily" was not ashamed to declare: "The Return of the Great Sage" is a domestic cartoon, the more the better, and the success of this film fully demonstrates the great progress we have made in foreign cultural exchanges.
