The news of Zhao Chen's protagonist's death again spread so much that it was even published in the newspapers. However, the vast majority of comic book fans only listen to an interesting anecdote, and do not bother to discuss it.

Maybe for them, as long as the comics are the right appetite. What's more, Ghost Eye Crazy Knife and Wukong are still alive, and they are not really dead. Even whether Lelouch died or not is very vague, and it also gives too many people thoughts.

And just when manga fans continue to pay attention to Dragon Ball, summer has arrived, and this is the time when the competition among major films is fiercest.

It's just that the protagonist of the island country this summer is an animated theatrical version, that is, the first theatrical version of "Pokémon" that Studiodeen Animation Studio took more than a year to complete - "Dream Counterattack"!

Just like in his previous life, "Dream Counterattack" is still directed by Kunihiko Yuyama, an anime director who is currently only in his early thirties, who just came from another manga company last year and will be a famous animation director and director in the island country in the future.

Although Kunihiko Yuyama was still relatively young at this time, he had high directing skills, and it was rare to be the director of the famous "Magical Princess" last year, and this anime is also one of his masterpieces.

Of course, Zhao Chen is not very worried about Kunihiko Tangshan, but the current Kunihiko Yuyama is quite young among animation directors, although the skills are good, but the experience is inevitably insufficient. So, in addition to letting Kunihiko Yuyama lead "Dream Counterattack", Zhao Chen also asked Studiodeen Animation Agency to give him two experienced assistant directors.

Kunihiko Yuyama attaches great importance to this, because although he has directed and supervised animation, it is the first time he has directed the theatrical version of an anime.

Although there is not much difference between the animation and the theatrical version, the theatrical version is undoubtedly more sophisticated, and it also needs to use some special effects, which not only increases the difficulty, but also increases the cost a lot.

In terms of labor costs, the current island country is naturally far less than ten years later, but the same special effects are undoubtedly more expensive. The most important thing is that some special effects have not yet been revealed, and they often have to settle for the next best.

It is in this situation, under the operation of the whole team, that "Dream Counterattack" took more than a year to complete, which is undoubtedly more sophisticated than "Dragon Ball", which produces two or three theatrical versions a year.

When "Dream Counterattack" had just been completed, the theater manager of the island country stepped through the threshold of the studiodeen animation club. For an animated theatrical version. Often the first film is the highest box office. And the reason why these theater managers are so eager is entirely because of the popularity of "Pokémon", Zhao Chen's fame and the technology of the Studiodeen Animation Agency.

Since Studiodeen was acquired by Zhao Chen, it is not an exaggeration to say that its strength has been increasing every day, and in just two or three years, the scale is not the same as before, and it is technically comparable to Toei Animation.

In particular, studiodeen animation companies produce zuò well-quality animation, which tends to be more sophisticated. At present, the ratings of the animations that have been released are even more explosive, especially the comments of animations such as "Baseball Heroes", "Sailor Moon", "Dragon Ball", and "Pokémon" have a rating of more than 2o%, and have led to a ratings boom one after another.

Among them, Kadokawa Bookstore's cinema chain is also in the competition, and compared with other cinemas, Kadokawa Bookstore undoubtedly has a greater advantage.

However, there are no absolutes, and the construction of Kadokawa Bookstore's theater chain is not too long. Although there are many theaters under it, there are several more theaters than him. On top of that, these theater managers began to wage a price war.

Cinema revenue is often calculated according to the percentage of a film, and the cinema chain of the island country will basically get 25%-4o% of the film's box office revenue. It's just that this income has to be discussed with the theater chain.

This time, in order to obtain the screening rights of "Dream Counterattack", many theaters did not hesitate to reduce the box office revenue to a minimum, that is, 25%. In this case, even if Kadokawa Shoten and Tianxiasha are allies. But there is also a great danger of failure.

But it didn't take long for Studiodeen Animation Agency to finally announce that Kadokawa Bookstore had won the screening rights of "Dream Counterattack" in the island country, but Kadokawa Bookstore's box office revenue was 3o%, which caused some theaters to be dissatisfied, after all, there are several companies with lower box office revenues than Kadokawa Bookstore, can't Zhao Chen and Qian get by.

There's a reason for that. And this reason is currently only cleared by the parties Zhao Chen and the president of Kadokawa Bookstore. Thanks to the efforts of Kadokawa Shoten, we finally acquired the two technology patents from TakaRa Toy Factory.

Of course, the price is not small, and because of the importance attached to these two technology patents, the purchase price of the company reached a full 500 million yen.

It's different from the previous life. Originally, Hasbro did not acquire patents, but cooperated with TakaRa Toy Factory to open "Transformers", which means that both companies can sell "Transformers" products and compete with each other.

After Kadokawa Bookstore acquired the patent, it was sold to Zhao Chen. However, there is no price increase, it is still 500 million yen, but the condition is that it hopes to obtain the screening rights of "Dream Counterattack".

In this regard, Zhao Chen has no objection, although there are several theaters that have reached 25%, which is five percentage points less than Kadokawa Bookstore, but this difference is not in Zhao Chen's eyes, and it can be regarded as returning the favor of Kadokawa Bookstore.

After getting these two technologies, Zhao Chen handed them over to the Tianxia Toy Factory for corresponding opening, and drew some "Transformers" models according to his memory.

Not only that, Zhao Chen also drew the storyboard of "Transformers" and handed it over to a contracted cartoonist under Tianxia to complete. This is a cartoonist with good drawing skills but very average inspiration, maybe he is ordinary in conceiving the plot of the comic, but as long as he has a storyboard, and with his drawing skills, it can be regarded as a perfect match.

Similarly, the animation of "Transformers" has also been put into the schedule of the studiodeen animation company, and I believe that it will not be long before "Transformers" will be released in advance.

Tokyo's Chiyoda-ku Cinema, and with such a large-scale cinema in Chiyoda-ku, where every inch of land is at a premium, Kadokawa Shoten's strength can be imagined.

The cinema is divided into two floors and can accommodate 15oo people, and "Dream Counterattack" is screened in this cinema.

The screening time is eight o'clock in the evening, but some more dedicated reporters start at the door of the theater at four or five o'clock, eating convenience food while observing around, hoping to find the big guys.

Time passed slowly, and more and more reporters began to come over, because everyone knew that they might see big people when they squatted here, because today was the screening day of "Dream Counterattack".

At seven o'clock, some filmmakers who got tickets for the screening came one after another, and there were many celebrities among them, but their reputations were relatively small, and they were not big fish.

It didn't take long for a big fish to finally appear at the door, but it was the current president of Kadokawa Bookstore - Haruki Kadokawa!

After graduating from university, Haruki Kadokawa joined Kadokawa Bookstore and became the president at the age of 33, becoming the youngest president of a publishing house at the time. This year is just forty years old, this person is quite romantic, in the future statistics of the marriage a full six times, it is no wonder that men will be romantics when they are rich.

Haruki Kadokawa began making films in 1976 and gradually established himself in the film industry through the strategy of video and movable type media.

Straddling the publishing and film worlds of the island country, he has opened up a new situation for the island film industry, and is also a controversial legend.

Of course, it has to be said here that although Haruki Kadokawa is rich, his appearance and height are not up to standard.

As soon as he saw the big fish of Haruki Kadokawa appear, those reporters at the door of the theater threw away the filmmakers who were interviewing, and turned to chrysalis to surround Haruki Kadokawa, if it weren't for the help of a few bodyguards and theater staff, I'm afraid Haruki Kadokawa would have to be a wolf.

Those filmmakers who were thrown away were also relieved, and at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, people are more popular than people, and the gap is too big.
