The new theatrical version of "Lupin the Third" reveals the latest footage
The latest screenshots of the new animated theatrical version of "Lupin III" created by Japanese manga artist monkey-punch "LUPIN-THE-IIIRD Daisuke Jigen" were released today.
A total of two screenshots were released this time, which are the two protagonists of this theatrical version, Lupin wearing an eyeband and a dimension with sharp eyes. The work depicts a period when Lupin and Jiyuan met not long ago, and both of them did not fully trust each other, so the cunning and wary look and attitude of Lupin and Jiyuan will be the biggest attraction of this work.
In addition, the dubbing of the theatrical version is also in full swing. The following are some of the feelings of Kanichi Kurita, who plays Lupin III, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who plays Daisuke Jigen, and director Ken Koike.
Kurita: I think the overall feeling of this theatrical version can be described in two words: cunning and treacherous. The gunslinger Daisuke and Lupin III have only known each other for a long time, and they don't fully trust each other, and they don't have a sense of teamwork at all, but this work is exactly the process of their gradual development of trust and mutual trust, so when I treat the dimension as Lupin, I pay great attention to the relationship between a polite stranger and a rival who hides competition.
Kobayashi: In the past, there were many stories like this that focused on the cause and effect between people, and it was really interesting! I'm looking forward to a "human" Lupin III, I haven't seen such a Lupin for a long time.
Koike: This time I was depicting a period not long after Lupin and his group met, and Lupin was going to play the leading role again, so I felt the great charm of the work. I wish I could describe the process of Lupin becoming a partner with the dimension in a solid way.
In addition, regarding the fateful encounter between Lupin and Jigen, who then became indispensable partners, Kurita said, "The so-called partners must be composed of people who have considerable strength enough to become mortal enemies, so there must always be an indescribable tension in the interaction between the two, because the next moment the partners will become their enemies." Kobayashi agrees: "It's a bit like the so-called 'yesterday's enemy, today's friend', right?" It seems that the tacit understanding between Kurita and Kobayashi is not inferior to that of Lupin and Jiyuan.
"LUPIN-THE-IIIRD: DAISUKE JI'S TOMBSTONE" will be specially screened from June 21 to June 27 at the wald9 cinema in Shinjuku, Japan.
The new Ultraman series will be broadcast this summer
The popular special effects film "The Legend of Shin Ultraman" (every Tuesday at 6 p.m.) broadcast by TV Tokyo and other related organizations has been loved by the audience. Recently, it was officially announced that the series will broadcast a new work in July this year, titled "Ultraman Galaxy S".
"Ultraman Galaxy S" is a sequel to "Ultraman Galaxy" that aired in 2013. There will be a total of 16 episodes in this work, and it is a completely new plot. Viewers will be able to see the story brought by New Ultraman in July.
As in the previous works, this time Hikaru Auditorium, played by Takuya Negishi, will continue to transform into Ultraman and compete against the forces of evil. In addition, the 39th Ultraman Hero Ultraman Victory will also appear in the work, which will surely attract more attention from Tokusatsu fans. At present, the figure with a perfect curvy body shape has been announced. And the one who plays Ultraman will be Uji Kiyotaka.
This new series will be divided into upper and lower parts. The first half of the 8 episodes will be broadcast from July 15th ~ September 2nd, and the second half of the plot will be from November 4th to December 23rd.
When talking about the new series, Negishi said that he got the news from Zuòren early on. "At that time, the producer told me that he wanted to continue filming Ultraman in the next year, and he also wanted the audience to watch the plot." And he also said confidently: "On the one hand, we want to inherit the style of Ultraman Galaxy, and on the other hand, we must also show the unique color of Ultraman Galaxy." ”
In addition, Uji, who played Ultraman Victory, was shocked by his appearance: "I always dreamed of Ultraman, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to play this role. But now I'm used to it. He happily told the reporter: "This time I really feel that dreams are not impossible. As long as you want to be a certain person with all your heart, if you want to do something, then this heart will definitely move the heavens. ”
Koichi Sakamoto, who is the chief director, is also a veteran producer of the Ultraman series, but he has not taken over this work for 5 years after the movie "Ultraman Cosmic Heroes: Super Galactic Legend". For this reunion with the Ultraman series, he also revealed the charm of the work: "We want the heroes to show their extraordinary action charm and show it to the audience who are having dinner. ”
In addition, the new character Ultraman Victory will also make an official appearance at this year's exclusive event during Japan's Golden Week. On May 4th and 5th, a family-friendly event "Ultraman Heroes Are Coming" will be held at the BaySheraton Hotel in Yokohama! ”。 I believe that everyone will be able to see the victory of Ultraman at that time.
In addition, in order to build momentum for the new work, from April 30th, the Sotetsu Line train in Kanagawa Prefecture will also be dressed up in the image of Ultraman's "Pain Train", so if you have the conditions, please don't miss the opportunity to watch.
"Genius Glasses Dog" broke 100 million at the mainland box office and was well received
Imported by China Film Group Corporation, jointly distributed by China Film Co., Ltd. and Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd., produced by DreamWorks in the United States, and dubbed by Huang Bo and Jia Ling, the hilarious adventure animation "Genius Glasses Dog" is currently being screened in major theaters. According to statistics, the film ranked second at the box office, second only to the proud results of "American Team 2", and the total box office successfully exceeded 100 million, becoming the most popular Hollywood animated film in the spring of 2014. At the same time, the word-of-mouth of this new masterpiece of DreamWorks has risen all the way during the hot screening, including film critics, theater managers, children, parents and post-80s and 90s generations unanimously gave "all ages" five-star praise.
The box office of Qingming broke 100 million
During the Qingming holiday, the national film market swept away the sluggish state of hovering below 30 million at the single-day box office last week, and with the entry of a number of new films into the market, the market climbed to the 100 million yuan mark. Among them, DreamWorks' "Genius Glasses Dog" is very eye-catching, not only the number of theater screenings nationwide has increased against the market, but its total box office has also successfully exceeded 100 million. Relevant statistics show that the attendance rate of the film reached nearly 40% during the long holiday with excellent word-of-mouth, and on April 7, it led the market in the daytime screening, especially under the shape of many Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time, it is not easy to have such a table.
Some film critics pointed out that "Genius Glasses Dog" continued the perfect parabola of last year's "Crazy Primitives" counterattack on the film market to create a miracle, both of which entered the market strongly when the film market was relatively sluggish, and then rose all the way with super five-star word-of-mouth, defeating many "live-action" movie opponents. Industry insiders said that the outbreak of the film in the Qingming file in the second week after its release was "traceable", "Like last year's hit "Crazy Primitives", this kind of animation is very competitive during the day during the holidays, and it is foreseeable that this animation will still be popular for a long time during the future release." And some theater managers also analyzed: "Huang Bo and Jia Ling's very down-to-earth Chinese dubbing has attracted many young people in the 80s and 90s, and at the same time, this time "Genius Glasses Dog" simultaneously launched 2D, 3D and Chinese giant screens, and the 2D version also won more relatively young children to watch the movie. ”
"Genius Dog" won the animated version of "The Big Bang Theory"
The Qingming Festival schedule in previous years is the first peak period of the cinema chain in spring, and the cartoon "Genius Glasses Dog" produced by DreamWorks continues to exert its power in many blockbusters with the double good reputation of the media and fans in the outbreak of this small long holiday. The famous film critic Tübingen carpenter said, ""Genius Glasses Dog" can be watched as a screen history class, suitable for taking children, parents can understand the French Revolution, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, the Renaissance and da Vinci, and the ancient Greek Trojan Horse siege, these four allusions can be explained to children." Film critic Lao Yuan praised "Genius Glasses Dog" as "hilarious and cross-witted", "The background of the story is very conflicting: a dog adopts a human child." This also happens to hide some thoughts about social reality under the shell of comedy cartoons. The time machine travel scene is a bit like "Saving the Big Star", but it is not confined to the time travel, it is more of an adventure and a spoof, laughing until the stomach hurts, and then there is a little tear-jerking and warmth. It's just worth watching again! ”
