Chapter 402: Two-dimensional and three-dimensional
Tokyo, December 2006. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHaneda International Airport, where hundreds of fans gathered, made it look like an international star would be coming to Tokyo.
Just when people felt inexplicable, suddenly this group of fans held banners and colorful flags aloft - "Welcome Asia's No. 1 director Wang Qinianjun to visit Japan!" ”
With a mixture of Japanese and Chinese welcomes, Wang Qinian and his party couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Isn't the itinerary confidential?" Wang Qinian suddenly asked.
"I'm sorry, boss......" The employees stationed in the Japanese branch were panicked.
"Forget it!" Wang Qinian waved his hand.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Wang Qinian was escorted by airport personnel to a nearby hotel. Of course, the fans present were a little disappointed, but before leaving, Wang Qinian asked the company's employees to tell the fans present that a fan meeting would be held in the near future, and the Japanese fans welcomed at the airport today could get the invitation letter first, which calmed the resentment of these fans.
In fact, Wang Qinian didn't expect that he would have so many fans in Japan. Although, Wang Qinian's movies are rarely released in Japanese theaters. However, through DVD and online channels, it also has tens of millions of viewers in Japan, which is no less than many of the world's top directors.
And Wang Qinian's movies have been blocked by Japanese theaters for many years, which has aroused the curiosity of young people. Many people bought DVDs to watch, and as a result, they became fans of Wang Qinian. Of course, fans in Japan regard Wang Qinian's "Gate of Destiny" in his early years as a masterpiece, and other commercial blockbusters with higher cost and better special effects, due to the comparison of Hollywood movies, although there are also many audiences, but the audience in Japan has a far worse evaluation of those blockbusters than "The Gate of Destiny" with a cost of 500,000 yuan!
The reason why this is so is because "The Gate of Destiny" is Wang Qinian's reference to the later paragraphs in "The Stones of Destiny", although it has been remodeled, but it has connotations and selling points. But it's the same as "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny".
And then "The Gate of Destiny" has also become a favorite theme for some fandom lovers.,Countless versions of the re-creation of the same work,Although it didn't bring box office revenue to "The Gate of Destiny",But it's what makes this work.。 Gained enduring vitality.
……
Soon after his stay in Japan, Wang Qi began to visit some ACG companies and teams in Japan. Under Wang Qinian's personal visit, many copyright cooperation agreements were reached.
The film and television adaptation rights of the three popular ACG works of Type-Moon's "Fate/Staynight", "True Moon Tan Yueji", and "Empty Realm" are included in the pocket of the partner company.
At the fan meeting, Wang Qinian solemnly announced a good news: "This time I came to Japan. It is mainly based on future film and television works. I'm also a fan of some niche anime and games in Japan, and this time, I came here and won the film and television adaptation rights of "Fate/Staynight", "Mazuki Tan Yuehime" and "Empty Realm" with my humble name! In the next three years, these three works will be adapted into real people......"
As Wang Qinian threw out this bombshell news, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. After all, type-moon was the most popular among Japanese doujin groups before, although, it later began to be commercialized. But the work also sold very successfully. Games, animations, and merchandise, all kinds of adaptations have achieved good results. It is precisely because of this that the small team of Type-Moon has not been absorbed by large companies, and it is also very nourishing.
Of course, this is only a relatively successful small company. Compared with giants such as Shueisha and Xiaobian Group, it still can't be compared.
Many fans began to ask: "Will the directors of the three movies be Wang Qinianjun?" ”
"I, due to my limited personal energy. And in order for the film to meet the audience faster, I personally plan to direct the live-action film "Fate/Staynight". "Tsukihime" and "Empty Realm" will choose some well-known directors in the industry to direct! Wang Qinian naturally wouldn't say that in fact, he was only most interested in the "fate" series, after all. This series has the most popularity and gimmicks.
As for the popularity of "Tsukihime" and "Empty Realm", there is still a huge gap with "Fate".
To put it simply, in the setting of the original Moon World, "Moon Hime" and "Empty Realm" are the main body. Fate is just the tip of the iceberg, a special copy of a small map in a large world setting.
And the result. This copy is more widely known than the main body of the story of the Moon World.
Later, Type-Moon was also very undisciplined, and increased the development of the "Fate" series, although this is still within the framework of the Moon world, but it has become more and more noisy.
……
Then the fan interaction session pushed this fan meeting to the first. At the same time, due to the participation of the media, this fan meeting was also widely disseminated on TV and print media.
All of a sudden, fans in the ACG circle in China and Japan were shaken by it.
"Fate/StayNight is going to be live-action!"
"Who's going to play Saber?"
"What's so good about Saber, I like Rin Tosaka the most, and I hope that the casting can be a little better, and the actor who really fits the role. And don't play any big names! ”
"There are a lot of popular anime and games in Japan, but the live-action version is rarely successful! Can Wang Qinian do it? ”
"Who said that the live-action adaptation of "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil" is extremely successful!"
A movie adaptation, which has just been thrown, has sparked a lot of heated discussions, which is obviously the reason why Wang Qinian chose the popular animation and game copyright adaptation of live-action movies.
Although, anime and game adaptations of movies, the adaptation is not good, maybe the fans of the original book are not satisfied, and the audience in the film market is not satisfied, resulting in a box office waterloo.
But if the adaptation is successful, it can be like "Resident Evil" and become a masterpiece of money, although many people evaluate that one is not as good as the other, the first trilogy is okay, what the hell is the back? But it can't stand it, fans are curious again and again, and come to the cinema to watch the latest new work.
The failure of anime and game movie adaptations is due to the fact that many directors either do not understand anime enough, and there are big problems in casting. ACG fans demand that the characters resemble characters from anime, and if they can do that, this alone will be enough to attract ACG fans to watch the live-action version. The traditional movie audience asks that the performance is not so disobedient, after all, the two-dimensional and three-dimensional performance techniques are different.
To adapt this kind of film well, the director needs to be good at both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and if you balance the two, you can achieve great success. For example, "Resident Evil" is very well balanced...... (To be continued.) )
