"The King of Fighters 1994" has caused a big shock to the Japanese anime industry. Or to put it this way, in fact, the impact of "Avatar" or something on the Japanese is big enough, but as a Japanese, the reflection skill is basically 0, so when the 3D movie combined with the imax skill hits Japan, the Japanese feel that Cameron is really good, the first in the world. However, when "The King of Fighters 1994", which was sold in 3D and the theme was martial arts, slaughtered all sides in Japan, the Japanese film industry, or rather, the Japanese anime film industry, showed excessive introspection as if it was frightened.

For a long time, Japanese animation has its own unique tradition and strong industrial structure, and it has also produced a corresponding animation culture. In other words, Japanese anime's understanding of their own anime is based on their own unique self-perception.

With the gradual fading out of the older generation of anime, burning money, economic recession and a series of influences, Japanese animation has become popular in Monty. Ohm seems to have embarked on the evil road of selling cuteness and corruption, their 3D technology is as mature as the United States, and it is widely used, as can be seen from the virtual Hatsune, but there are few good anime movie works, on the one hand, of course, because the 3D investment is too high, on the other hand, the characteristics of Japanese anime movies make people feel that even 2D is enough for everyone to experience and appreciate.

"The King of Fighters" as a popular game,The results in the animation are very average,It can be seen from SNK's authorization of Hong Kong cartoonist Hu to make up the plot blindly,So it is also slow to make progress in TV and OVA,It's just a few episodes of the lesser-known OVA,Therefore,This time Kasuga announced that "The King of Fighters" will be filmed,And use a young director who became famous on the Internet with 3D fighting animation videos - Monty. Ohm was not even 28 years old when he accepted the assignment.

The Japanese anime industry came to see the release of "The King of Fighters 1994" with the mentality of watching jokes. They thought that Shen Zhenghui wanted to train an animation industry in Haruhi and was crazy, so he actually went on such a project. However, when I think of the level of budget burning in 3D, many people are envious and jealous. Japan's cutting-edge anime directors basically don't start learning from 3D animation. Despite Hollywood's ferocious 3D animation, the Japanese have always stuck to their core values – what is it? 3D is, in a sense, more of a gimmick. Just like many 3D films in China, the 3D effect of subtitles is the best.

The ferocious momentum of "The King of Fighters" gave everyone a hard slap in the face, not only stunting them, but even completely reversing their positions. "The King of Fighters 1994" can be said to be a huge victory for the sentimental party in the Japanese film industry, compared with the undisputed greatness of "Spirited Away", the victory of "The King of Fighters 1994" can be said to come inexplicably, no matter what way you look at it, there seems to be no reason for this box office, SNK's influence? The appeal of Kasuga's movies? Monty. The energy of Ohm's fans on the network? Together, none of this seems to be enough to explain the box office miracle of The King of Fighters 1994. It seems that Japan is full of original arcade players, who can't wait to use this movie to start remembering their lost youth, and then, this nostalgia burns into a collective frenzy, just like the previous "Avatar", even when ordinary people who are not interested, when the media and the people around them chatter about "Avatar", they naturally ignite their interest in watching the movie.

Hence the success of The King of Fighters 1994. It seems that it should not only be discussed from a business perspective, but also from a social psychological perspective. It's like the non-professional directors in China in the future. The box office is higher than the other, and sometimes it's really incomprehensible. And the attitude of the Japanese changed because of their success, and the media began to preach that the future will be the era of 3D, as evidenced by everything from "Avatar" to "The King of Fighters 1994", and at the same time he began to trumpet Monty. Ohm's Japanese ancestry. Mundy. Ohm claims to be of mixed East Asian descent, and in the end he can't tell which countries he is mixed with. As a result, some countries took the initiative to claim it, and South Korea announced that Mondiom was Korean, and at least a quarter of them were of Korean descent.

After becoming famous, Mondiom also seemed to have to endure the troubles that he had to face to become famous, and the Japanese anime and film industries invited Mondiom to attend various seminars on several occasions. The theme is the direction of future animated films. The impact on the Japanese in the past two years has been too great, and they need to be digested and digested well. But before they could digest it, Shen Zhenghui's "FateZero" was released.

At this time, the "King of Fighters 1994" that swept the country has not yet been painted, and in the two months since it was broadcast, the box office has exceeded 20 billion yen, and it seems hopeless to hit the second place of "Titanic" with 26.2 billion yuan, but it seems that it is not a problem to exceed the 20.3 billion yen of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". This box office is not only surprising to the Japanese, but even foreigners do not believe it, because the box office of "Avatar", which was released a few months ago, was only 15.6 billion yen, and the enthusiasm of the Japanese people is declining along with their economy, in addition, the box office of "Alice in Wonderland" in Japan is only 11.8 billion yen, which naturally deepens a certain misunderstanding of foreign media. On the one hand, they are convinced that Kasuga must have a false box office, on the other hand, other countries are also interested in "The King of Fighters 1994", because this film not only set a record in Japan, but also has a good box office in South Korea, China and other places, in South Korea, the number of moviegoers has exceeded 10 million, and in China, "The King of Fighters 1994" from its release to the next picture, although it is facing the problem of polarization of word-of-mouth - There are many people who are not familiar with the plot and story background, but the box office has actually reached 300 million yuan before the next painting, and in addition, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, the box office of the film is also good, and even drove the sales of related games and comics. Before the release of the film, Kasuga had already organized cartoonists to start comic creation according to the plot of the movie, so the film market detonated the animation market, and the TV stations that tried to further divide the pie were also ready to cooperate with Kasuga zuòTV animation or OVA.

Hollywood and Western countries are interested in preparing to introduce the film, and many anime fans have even protested that the film cannot be released simultaneously globally, so it can be expected in the near future. In Western countries, the film will usher in a round of releases, and the profits that fall into the hands of Kasuga will also grow simultaneously, and the income from money will completely crush the backbone of the Japanese animation industry, and they take this opportunity to start discussing "how to help Japanese animation themes better introduce to other countries and regions?" "And" How to make a good anime-themed movie? And "Is there a new direction in the anime genre that we haven't discovered?" ”

This qiē hustle and bustle, after the release of "FateZero". There was a brief period of silence, but soon, they fell into a new climax, as FateZero seemed to have more momentum than The King of Fighters 1994.

Unlike "The King of Fighters 1994", "FateZero" was released simultaneously worldwide. When Swift appeared at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, the fans cheered with enough thunder to blow away the clouds in the sky, especially when she picked up the special sword of kings, and the scene almost got out of control. This is not the first time a singer has ventured into the film and television industry. But in the case of the United States. In a sense, even the national singers may not be able to compare with actresses and movie stars, in a sense, Hollywood's division of labor has been clear to the point of strictness. So, Taylor. Swift's manager has a certain sacred passion for taking on a film, albeit a Japanese company-made film. But whatever, director. Oh no, it's Shen Zhenghui who is the producer, oh my God, that's enough. Do you think Director Shen Zhenghui is no. Can't a film produced by an executive producer be released in Hollywood or simultaneously around the world?

"The Magic Apprentice" has greatly boosted Shen Zhenghui's reputation, and before he did bad work or behavior to combat it, his name had an inexplicable appeal to insiders, let alone those who were actually outside the film industry. So even though she played a strange female King Arthur, she had to stay in Japan for nearly half a year. Taylor. Swift and her agent still couldn't say no to Shen Zhenghui, so they had to push down a concert plan she had been preparing for a long time. But when Taylor. When Swift stood at the door of the theater in this way, greeting the cheers of her fans, she really gained a different feeling.

"I hope you enjoy the movie too." Swift shouted out what she was thinking, but no one could hear what she was saying in such an environment, and her fans probably thought she was shouting at herself, so they shouted even louder.

"The last time I saw a scene like this seemed to be in the Twilight Zone," Angela Mason sighed a little, "but at that time, everyone was not looking at Christine. Stewart came. ”

"Speaking of which," said Nick, who was sitting next to her. Mr. Anderson looked out the window with some curiosity, "The two of them seem to be about the same age." ”

"Yes, Swift is twenty-one years old." Angela. Mason sighed a little, "But even so, her movie star career is still apprehensive, and Hollywood directors probably can't hold what role they want her to play," she blinked, "so if she hopes to develop her career as a movie star, she probably has to look forward to the next "Fate"." She can play Saber all the time. ”

"You seem to be enjoying your job." Nick. Anderson looked at Angela. "As a distributor, you've already seen FateZero and you've been so dedicated to seeing the premiere in the first place. Speaking of which, how do you feel about the film? Do you think our John will be able to continue to succeed this time? ”

"I have to admit that he does have talent." Angela. There was a strong jealousy suppressed in Mason's tone, "It's hard for me to believe Swift's appearance in the movie, I mean, I know so well that she is such a girl, at most she has some musical talent, but in the movie, it is difficult for people to associate her usual impression with her appearance in the movie." ”

"In this way, our director John is very good at training actors!" Nick said.

"Or rather," Angela said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "he's very good at using actors as tools, and what he does best is dress up the actors, and then in front of the camera, they play with their joys and sorrows." ”

Nick. Anderson coughed, "But I've heard that Swift did learn a lot in Japan," he smiled slightly, "and at least she can tell the story of what kind of performance she's involved in." "Nick. Anderson cleared his throat, "You know, it's not easy. There are a lot of idiots on Facebook who can't even understand the proper nouns. ”

Angela pursed her lips.

Nick Anderson shrugged his shoulders and continued, "What do you think will happen at the box office?" ”

"Maybe not high, because a lot of idiots don't even understand the proper terms in the story."

Nick. Anderson laughed, "But the girls are pretty and cold enough," he said, "and I think that's enough, especially since they're obviously focusing on the Japanese market, the Asian market." ”

Nick Anderson is obviously wrong, "FateZero" has received an astonishing success in the European market, following the box office record of the midnight premiere in the United Kingdom, and the box office explosions in Greece, Germany, France and other places, compared to the US market, where Swift focuses on publicity, is only a barely satisfactory result. Of course, in Japan, "FateZero" received enough enthusiasm at its premiere.

When the audience was asked what impressed the movie the most, all the viewers without exception mentioned the characters - "the shape and appearance are really amazing and praised" - "it is as if they came out of a manga or anime" - "Saber and his wife are so beautiful that people can't look at them directly" - "The cute little Lori really wants to take it home". Even if they were confused about the setting of magic and summoning heroic spirits, after seeing the mesmerizing character shapes and blood-pumping magical battles, many people still gave the movie a good review with great interest, and said that in order to understand the plot, they must watch it a few more times.

Quietly, "FateZero" received its first global box office hit night. (To be continued......)
