"Pixel Wars" revised the script to enter the Celestial Empire

When China became the world's second largest film market, Hollywood's major film companies also paid more and more attention to the Chinese film market. A few days ago, WikiLeaks revealed that Sony Pictures' blockbuster movie "Pixel Wars" this summer did not hesitate to delete the plot in the original script that was not very friendly to China in order to be released in Chinese mainland.

For example, in the movie, some well-known monuments and attractions, including the Washington Monument and the Taj Mahal, have been destroyed, and the Great Wall is also included in these ruined attractions. But in December 2013, Mr. Li, the chief representative of Sony Pictures in China, wrote an email that read: "Even a hole in the Great Wall is not a big deal, because the destruction of the landscape itself is a phenomenon in the film industry." However, because it would be detrimental to the release of the film in China, there is really no need to keep this scene. My advice is to cut it out. ”

After a discussion at Sony Pictures executives about the idea of making a specially edited film for China, Sony Pictures International Distribution CEO Stephen Odell explained in a separate email why all versions had to be revised: "Swapping Chinese elements to another country should be relatively easy to solve." However, revising the film was a negative response. If we only change the Chinese version, then we have set the topic for ourselves in the press, and the reporter will call and ask why we have only changed the Chinese version of the release. ”

In addition, other emails suggested that it would be better to choose Tokyo, Japan, rather than Shanghai, as one of the main stages of the film, which would contain scenes of the destruction of entire cities, which could hurt sensitive Chinese feelings.

According to the report, as the producer of the film, Doug Belgrad, the head of Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures, was one of the recipients of these emails. In a reply, he said he would consider the builders from Sony China.

Sony has condemned WikiLeaks for disclosing confidential information about the company. Regarding the impact of Chinese censorship on the film's plot, Sony commented that "Pixel Wars" will not be the first film to change its plot to please Beijing. For example, "World War Z," released in 2013, tweaked the script to remove the fact that the virus originated in China.

"That's the voice actor!" The plot caused dissatisfaction among some netizens

In July, the new "That's the voice actor! has attracted a lot of attention since it was launched. And the portrayal of the voice actor industry in the work is also considered by many people to be a "true embodiment". But recently, some netizens have been dissatisfied with this: the plot here is actually unpleasant.

"After watching this work, I felt very unhappy. The plot is just a description of some shortcomings in the industry, and it seems to be telling 'social cruelty' to girls who lack social experience. If a middle-aged person sees this kind of thing, he will definitely say, 'That's wrong, the attitude of labor in society shouldn't be like this!' In the case of the Internet broadcast, the director can't write '10 minutes of free play' on the line to the newcomer.

Although "White Box" is also a cruel work in the industry, it is precisely because of the cruelty that everyone tries to do their own thing. So it doesn't make people feel anything uncomfortable. And in this work, it is also unpleasant in terms of world view, that is, a big-name voice actor who starred as a guest. On the one hand, the voice actor Xiàn has a very approachable attitude, but on the other hand, the staff on the scene are always tired and impatient, making people feel that they don't feel like social people. ”

But in response to his words, quite a few people also commented:

If you hate the voice actor industry so much, wouldn't you just stop watching anime...... Am I the only one who thinks so?

Name: 名無しさん Contribution date: 2015-07-26

I often see works that tell the inside story of the industry, but it's not easy to balance reality and entertainment.

Name: 名無しさん Contribution date: 2015-07-26

I think this work is just an anime that "adds some voice actor neta in order to show the cuteness of the girls' efforts without destroying people's imagination". You shouldn't think too much about it.

Name: 名無しさん Contribution date: 2015-07-26

After all, this work also wants to show some dark places in the industry from the perspective of voice actors. The practice of making some people scummy is actually the right way to do it as a virtual work based on reality. If the staff who come out are so good, then in the end it will be just a work of "a large collection of children who want to become voice actors", which does not match the theme of this work.

Kaji Yuki revealed that the information of the second season of "The Seven Deadly Sins" was insulted

Last weekend (June 26) at a special event for the TV anime "The Seven Deadly Sins" held at "Maihama Amphitheater" in Tokyo, voice actor Yuki Kajiji was verbally abused by the event participants when he revealed the information about the second season at the end of the finale. The person was kicked out of the venue by the staff.

At the end of the "Seven Deadly Sins" event, voice actor Yuki Kajira said at the end of the event: "A certain big man in the crew said that he wanted to continue to do the second part. As a result, one of the participants in the audience suddenly shouted, "What qualifications do you kid have to announce this?" The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became very awkward, and Yuki Kaji also showed a helpless expression. Later, the participant, who was insulting Kaji, was "invited" out of the venue by the staff.

After the event, Kajiki tweeted, "The performers, staff, and audience brought this enthusiastic and fun event together! Thank you very much for your support of The Seven Deadly Sins! He also posted a photo of his smile, and it seems that the abuse did not affect him.

The original work of "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a manga work serialized by Yang Suzuki in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" (Kodansha). It tells the story of Elizabeth, the third royal daughter of the kingdom of Leonis, who seeks the "Seven Deadly Sins" of the Knights to save the country after the king is imprisoned by the paladins. The TV anime version of zuò produced by A-1 Pictures aired in October 2014, and all 24 episodes have ended.

Voice actor Satomi Sato responds to the intimidation incident

Tencent Animation previously reported that voice actor Satomi Sato was intimidated on the Internet, and the prisoner has been caught, but the blow to Satomi Sato is still very obvious. Recently, she officially responded to the incident on her personal blog.

The full text is as follows:

To all of you who have always supported Satomi Sato.

I'm really sorry that this caused a commotion and made everyone worry. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to the work, the fans, and the people involved.

I'm still a little shocked about this incident, and I'm sorry I can't write a complete article. Until now, I have a feeling of uneasiness that I can't get rid of. Although I knew that the police and the people in the office were running around for me, I should feel relieved, but I was always unacceptable and a little confused.

On the social media platform that everyone usually uses, anyone can post anything to the world. This is a very convenient place to save zài with a high degree of freedom. But because of this, if we don't think about how to use it, something terrible can happen. I really feel that now.

Happy, happy, sad, liked, hated...... Freely posted words don't represent anyone, only yourself. And the responsibility for these words must also be borne by yourself.

Once these words are uttered with feelings and thoughts, then someone will bear them. And what kind of expression will the person who sees these words show? What kind of mood will you have?

Words and emotions collide, and we can easily express our opinions to others and quickly reach them. It's a tool that can be used in a comfortable way. And because we can choose how we want to use the tool, we have to face it well.

It's a cliché, but you can't lose the feeling of thinking about others at any time. I don't want that shadow to happen, and I don't want the same thing to happen to others.

Therefore, it would be great if this event could be an opportunity for everyone to think about how to use words and how to send them. And the concert that everyone was worried about was held yesterday without incident. I feel very happy and I have received a lot of energy from everyone! It's really, really nice to be able to end the first day of the show smoothly.

All I could do was finish the remaining 5 shows. We can't let this kind of thing take away our important places! So feel free to be there.

As for the future response, I have left it to the office and the police. Sorry for writing such a long thing, thank you all for seeing here. I will continue to work hard with all my heart, so please continue to support me.

The ratings of the Japanese drama version of "Pamphlet" plummeted, and the actors took the blame

The TV series "Death Notes", adapted from the popular manga, has attracted attention from all sides since it was broadcast. However, when the third episode aired, the ratings of the work plummeted to 8.7% (16.9% in the first episode), and Hinko Sano, who starred in the work, was considered to be the culprit.

In the original work, Mikai Sand is a gorgeous character, but Sano plays her more of a sensual feeling. And because of the relatively round face, many fans of the original work criticized: "This is no longer Mihai Sand, but a simple fat man." And not only compared with the original, but in the live-action movie "Death Notes" released in 2006, it was Erika Toda who played Mikaisa at that time, and the two were also compared, and Toda's support rate was significantly higher.

Because of the problem of Sano's image, there are already many people on Twitter who are waiting for the new plot to be broadcast while swiping comments such as "I'm just coming to the fat man" and "watching the fat man make soy sauce". It can even be said that Sano's problem has overridden the TV series itself. And because many people are dissatisfied with Sano's table, some netizens even complained: "Because of her relationship, the plot that should have been very strict has been destroyed." ”

Moreover, this situation has also affected the industry's evaluation of works. The people concerned were originally very satisfied with the work list in the first episode, but when they came back to their senses, the ratings had been halved. If it continues to fall, then this TV series, which was once considered "the best topic work of the season", will inevitably be considered a "super failed work". For this reason, the producer also began to look for people who should bear the blame for the work.

However, in this work, both Masataka Kuroda who plays the night god moon and Kento Yamazaki who plays L are young people who are promoted by large firms, so they can't be held responsible, and we don't actually see much criticism against them.

As a result, Sano, who was complained about on the Internet, was considered to have become the target of the blame. In this regard, some relevant people even pointed out: "In the industry, the heroine has been criticized because it does not match the image in everyone's minds, and even many people gradually believe that the failure of the work is her reason." And since she was only a magazine cover idol before, being promoted to heroine is easy to recruit in itself, and it is not surprising that she is now regarded as a 'war criminal'. ”

Of course, this person believes that it is absolutely impossible to blame one person for the success or failure of a work.

Although Sano did encounter criticism, the real reason for the decrease in ratings was the script and setting issues. The original genius hero has become an ordinary college student and idol otaku.,And his opponent L shows off his muscles all day long.,This change of confusion is the reason why fans of the original work don't buy it.。 When the first episode was broadcast, because many people wanted to pay attention to what the live-action version was like, the ratings of the director were high, but they found that there was nothing attractive in the work, so most of the audience would conclude that 'watching 1 or 2 episodes is enough'. ”

In other words, Sano is just a victim of the setting of the work, and the essence of the problem is still to control Zuò himself. But there is no doubt that the current wave of criticism against Sano will intensify in the future, and once the disparaging title of "fat man" is confirmed, it will also be a great blow to her, who is already known for her beauty. Originally, she was supposed to show her acting talent through this work, and being regarded as a "war criminal" is probably the worst outcome, right?

"One Punch Man" extra-radio drama voice actor thoughts

The release of "One Punch Man" is scheduled for October, and the radio CD of the show has been completed, and it is scheduled to be bundled with the ninth volume of the manga on August 4. This time the story is based on the story of Momotaro, and the voice actors talked about their feelings about the dubbing work.

Shin Furukawa, who voiced the protagonist Saitama, said that he didn't expect the story to spoof Momotaro this time. "Because I have to work with powerful seniors such as Genos when I dub, I've been nervous since the day before yesterday. The story is interspersed with introductions of the characters, so it is easy for people who do not know the characters to understand the development of the story. Thank you for your support! ”

Ishikawa of Genos' service said, "There will be characters in the story who have nothing to do with the plot, and the interaction with them is very interesting, and the recording will end in the blink of an eye." The plot of "One Punch Man" itself is already very full, and with the launch of radio dramas and animations, it will become even more colorful in the future. We hope you will continue to take care of it! ”

In addition, voice actors such as Yuki Bi, Sakurai Takahiro, Nakamura Yuichi, Yasumoto Yoki, and Kaji Yuki participated. And in the play, Takahiro Sakurai's character zombie man plays monkey, Yuichi Nakamura's unlicensed knight plays Momotaro, and Yuki Kaji Sonic plays the cat...... Everyone said that the radio drama CD was released before the anime, so this is the first time to play their roles, and they all feel very new. In particular, Yuki Kaji of "Momotaro" said, "The characters who appeared this time have strong personalities, and the emotions are also very high and contrasting. After this dubbing, I'm looking forward to working on the anime version even more! Everyone must pay attention to "One Punch Man"! And Yuichi Nakamura said that although there are some spoilers in the story this time, it was adapted by the screenwriter, so listeners can eat it with confidence.

The original "One Punch Man" is a manga serialized by ONE&ONE Murata on the website "YOUNGJUMP Next Door". The story tells the daily story of a hero who loses his enthusiasm by being able to solve it with one punch no matter what strong enemy he encounters. THE SUPERVISOR IS SATORU NATSUME, THE OUTLINE IS TOMOHIRO SUZUKI, WHO HAS WRITTEN "TIGER & BUNNY", AND THE CHARACTER IS TETSU KUBOTA FROM "FROM THE NEW WORLD".

The all-star reading of "The Psychometrician" ends in a smooth manner

On July 19th, an event was held at the Ebisu Gardenhall in Tokyo. At the event, the voice actors of the first and second seasons of the anime were originally scheduled, including Guan Zhiyi, Hanazawa Kana, Nojima Keno, Akira Ishida, and Shizuzu Ito, Sakurai Takahiro and other eleven people attended; And the surprise appearance on the day of the event was the boss of the second season, Hiroki Higashichi. In addition, a total of 15 voice actors participated in the performance of the reading play, including Kimura Pleiades and Kentaro Tone, who participated in the theatrical version, and Toshiki Masuda, the voice actor of Chiichi Karakuya, the original character of the reading drama.

The content of the reading drama is the connecting plot between the second season of the anime and the theatrical version. In charge of writing the script is Makomi Fukami, who was in charge of the first issue of the anime, and Shinroku Mingrya, who was in charge of the script for the Xbox One game "Happiness Without Choice". The organizers distributed luminous wristbands to the audience, and the stage was carefully designed to match the scene of day and night in the drama schedule, and the BD of the reading play will be released on November 18.

Kana Hanazawa recalled the situation of attending the event that day, and said, "I was very focused on acting from beginning to end. Zhu Mei was pushed to a desperate situation again, so I was really tired when I acted~ But I performed on the same stage with 15 voice actors, made a good show, and the audience listened carefully to our performance, which made me feel very happy, thank you! Guan Zhiyi is also very satisfied with the performance: "All the actors are here, and it feels like a big gathering." And the story is also very rigorous, and in the process of participating in the performance, I also deeply felt the world view of "Psychometric". After the performance, it was tiring, but it was fulfilling. The script does a great job of filling in the gaps in the first season of Cunning's disappearance, and it's great to be able to perform! Thank you very much for your support. ”

The story of the reading drama mainly depicts Chang Shouzhu chasing a new murder demon case, but detecting the memories of the cunning Shenye and the deceased Teng Xiuxing on the only victim. On the other hand, after the cunning who shot and killed Makishima Seigo managed to escape from Japan, he encountered the SEAUn organization in the turmoil of Southeast Asia. Seeing SEAUn, who was ravaged by the Japanese-made military Dorana, he was reassured and finally decided to help them. At this time, a mysterious figure appears......

10,000 people voted "the most shocking anime ending"

Charapedia, a website specializing in anime popularity surveys, has recently launched a new survey project, which is the "most shocking anime ending" voted by 10,000 people. So which works have the most shocking endings? Let's see the results!

At the top of the list is "Lelouch the Rebellious". It should be said that this work has left a great impact on many anime fans in the first decade of the 21st century, and many people even entered the house because of this work. In the ending, Lelouch turns himself into the public enemy of the people, and then lets Suzaku kill himself to create a new world, which is really shocking.

In second place is Schooldays. I believe that as long as you are an anime fan who has watched this work, you will never forget the ending of this work. It tells everyone very well: if a harem man really incarnates a beast, then what will be the fate waiting for him. And when the anime was broadcast that year, it was banned at the end of the year due to various turmoil, and the audience could only see the picture of "NICEBOAT", which also made the good boat a classic neta in the anime industry.

And "Unheard of Flower Names" ranked third. In terms of plot direction, the ending of this work is actually not unexpected. But the touching tone laid down from the first episode continues to the end. When everyone separated from the face code, accompanied by the sound of beautiful music, many people may have burst into tears. And the aftertaste left by the ending will probably not be dissipated for many years, right?

In fourth place is "Madoka Magical Girl ☆ Magic". I still remember that when the work was broadcast that year, what many viewers who followed the fan did every day was to "scold QB, black Madoka", the reason was that Madoka Xiao's fragile reaction to the crisis of her peers. But in the last episode, Madoka, who is tasked with saving a qiē, is transformed into a round god, and when she transforms, many people suddenly fall under the skirt of the round god. And the back of Xiao Meiyan fighting alone at the end of the work also gave the audience infinite reverie before the theatrical version came out.

And "April is Your Lies" came in fifth. Speaking of shock, I'm afraid there is nothing more impressive than the ending of a work that "the heroine died of failed surgery", right? Although Kaoru Miyazono sent a handwritten letter to Gongsheng before his death to convey his love for him for nearly 10 years, the moment many people saw the ending, the thought in their minds could only be "I can't accept it!" ”

In addition, "**", "Lovelive! "Tokyo Foodie", "Kuroko's Basketball" and "AngelBeats!" are also on the list.

《Lovelive! The box office of the theatrical version has exceeded 1.9 billion yen

The theatrical version of "Lovelive! TheSchoolIdolMovie is still the focus of many people's heated discussions. According to Japanese media news: At present, the box office of this work has reached 1.9 billion yen, and it is a sure fact that it will surpass "Light Girl".

Considering that the final box office of "Light Girl" was 1.90 billion yen, "Lovelive! TheSchoolIdolMovie is sure to be at least the second-best work in the late-night segment. And the difference between "The Theatrical Version of Madoka Magical Girl ☆ Magic [New Edition] The Tale of Rebellion" is only 180 million yen. So is it likely to be the No. 1 highest-grossing late-night work in history? Let's wait and see.

The circle is in sight! 《Lovelive! The box office exceeded 2 billion yen

The super popular project "Lovelive! The theatrical version of "Light Girl" continued its footsteps after surpassing "Light Girl" at the box office. According to the latest box office results, the box office of this work has reached 2.06 billion yen.

The 2.06 billion yen score has already secured the second place in the late-night theatrical version, and it is currently only 20 million yen away from the No. 1 "Madoka Magical Girl ☆ Magic [New Edition] Rebellious Story" (2.08 billion yen), and it should be said that it is an unchangeable fact to surpass the small round face before the work is released. And what kind of number will this work end with, I'm afraid it will also be the focus of everyone's attention next. Tencent Animation will also continue to follow up on the report.

CCTV Animation issued a statement: Enjoy all the copyrights of the eldest son

A few days ago, CCTV Animation responded to a company in Hangzhou suing CCTV Big Head Son for copyright infringement, saying that the court's first-instance judgment was that all the copyrights of the 1995 version of "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" and the 2013 version of "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" belong to CCTV Animation.

The cartoon "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" premiered on CCTV in 1995 and achieved great success at the beginning of the broadcast, becoming a phenomenal animation work that year. In 2013, CCTV Animation created and broadcast the cartoon "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad", and the following year released the movie "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad's Secret Plan", which achieved good box office results. On July 21 this year, the Hangzhou Binjiang District People's Court made a first-instance judgment on the copyright infringement case of Hangzhou Datouson Culture Development Co., Ltd. v. CCTV Animation Co., Ltd. Subsequently, some media reported that the judgment found that CCTV Animation's infringement was established, and ordered CCTV Animation to compensate a company in Hangzhou for economic losses of more than 1.26 million yuan. In response to this matter, CCTV Animation made a statement a few days ago.

According to the statement, according to the verdict, the court rejected Hangzhou Datou Son Cultural Development Co., Ltd.'s request for CCTV Animation to immediately stop the reproduction, sale, rental, broadcast, network transmission and other behaviors including the cartoon "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad", and no longer exhibit, publicize, sell, and license the image adapted from the plaintiff's "Big Head Son" art work and its derivative peripheral products. The original author, Liu Zedai, only enjoys the copyright of his positive image sketch art works such as "Big Head Son" created at the end of 1994. It can be seen that CCTV Animation has the right to continue to exercise the copyright of the cartoon "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" and its derivative products.

The statement also explained the creation and authorization of the 95 and 2013 versions of the Big Head Son cartoon: the complete images of the three characters "Big Head Son", "Little Head Dad" and "Apron Mom" used in the 1995 version of the "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" cartoon are created by the art creation team organized by CCTV with the support of CCTV, on behalf of CCTV's will, and ultimately borne by CCTV, so CCTV should be regarded as the author of the derivative work and enjoy copyright. In 2007, due to the transformation of the animation department of CCTV, CCTV Animation Co., Ltd. was established by CCTV. According to the authorization of CCTV, CCTV Animation Co., Ltd. has the right to exercise all the copyrights of the 95 version of the cartoon and all the copyrights of the cartoon including but not limited to literary scripts, modeling design, art design and other works except for the right of authorship, which means that all the copyrights of the 95 version of "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" and the 2013 version of "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" belong to CCTV Animation.
