Chapter 644: Before the Screening
In the movie "Keep Talking", Sun Peng's expectations were not very high.
On the one hand, it is naturally because in the original world, the achievements of this movie cannot be regarded as particularly outstanding; On the other hand, there is no shortage of similar thrilling movies in this world. It's just that Sun Peng wrote "It's My Life", and changed the plot in it, plus the concept of keeping the call is still novel, which greatly increases the attractiveness of this movie.
The plot of the movie is well received!
The episode "It's My Life" received rave reviews!
And the scene of the movie carefully produced by Forbidden City Pictures is also much larger than the original, which is also well received!
So in this China, where the total box office is super large, there is a bonus of summer vacation, and the box office of "Keep Talking" exceeded 300 million in the first weekend, reaching more than 340 million!
"And the reputation is very good, and there are 1.5 billion dramas!"
When Monday's box office figures came out, Lin Lin excitedly played in the old house.
Ouch, that's a movie star?
"Ha ......"
Yangtian yawned, Sun Peng waved his hand and said angrily: "Yes, yes, there is a drama for 1.5 billion...... As long as the other movies this weekend collapse, let alone 1.5 billion, I can watch 2 billion! ”
But what if the weekend movies are all a big hit?
"Uh......"
Her face darkened, and Lin Lin's small mouth suddenly pouted: "You bad guy, you just deliberately put Spirited Away in the back of our movie!" Hmph, but don't be complacent, there's a big production coming out this weekend, and if you have a cartoon, ......"
"Big production? That costume masterpiece? ”
Raising his eyebrows, a smile flashed in Sun Peng's eyes.
"What? You still don't look down on people? ”
Blinking her eyes wide, Lin Lin said angrily: "The film investment is more than 800 million, which is at least twice as high as your "Thousand Hiro's Hidden Spirits", right?" ”
Shaking his head, Sun Peng continued to smile: "Sister, the investment is high, and the box office may not necessarily be high!" ”
When the time enters this year, the decline of the costume masterpiece is even more obvious. It's just that since the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, there are four costume films with a total investment of more than one billion or nearly one billion to be released this year - this is not what they do when they are dry and fishing, can they still be expected to loot the box office like in previous years?
So there is no doubt that Sun Peng is still more optimistic about his Spirited Away.
Although the graphics are slightly different from Miyazaki's original, the core of the story has not changed, and most of the details in it are the same. And for an animation that relies on stories to win, even after twenty or thirty years, it changes the world, and its charm should not be reduced by half a point!
What's more, it is still in the weak animation field of China.
Lao Bai's investment and script, and Hafei Animation's investment and shareholding, have all branded this "Spirited Away" with the Chinese brand. So when promoting, Hafei Animation naturally used the name of domestic production, even if the main work was done in Japan, and the core of the story was also Japanese......
Of course, Lin Lin also understood these things, so she pouted and stopped entanglement, and asked instead: "By the way, you and Jiajia are going to get engaged in a few days, have you arranged it?" ”
"What do I arrange? Uncle and sister-in-law both said I don't care. ”
Another yawn, Sun Peng waved his hand and said casually.
“…… Hum! ”
Looking at Sun Peng's appearance, Lin Lin couldn't help but snort angrily again!
This kid is so hateful!
It's not just the cousin who is hateful, but the uncle and his mother Lin Lin are also complaining.
Just because he is the only male in the generation of the old Sun family, the uncle and mother are far more concerned about Sun Peng's marriage than their daughters. Especially when I heard that the two were finally going to get engaged, Lin Lin didn't know about the uncle, but my mother didn't sleep all night when she was excited, and she still pulled Lin Lin to mumble all morning......
With a roll of his eyes, Lin Lin suddenly leaned over and said with a smile: "Xiaopeng, it's such an important ceremony as an engagement, you really don't plan to invite more people?" There are only a few of us here, even if all the family members on Zheng Jia's side come, I'm afraid a box will be full......"
"A box? No way! ”
Before his cousin finished speaking, Sun Peng already said with disdain: "Beauty, as soon as you hear these words, you know that you don't know anything about the strength of the old Zheng family!" They are natives who have been rooted in the capital for hundreds of years, and they are different from our old grandson family. ”
As soon as he thought of the list listed by Zheng Jia, Sun Peng felt his liver tremble.
Usually Sun Peng, who is an uncle, aunt, cousin or something of the old Zheng family, has actually seen a lot, but he has never thought about them all day. But after reading the list that day, Sun Peng's eyes instantly turned dark - on the day of the engagement, the old Sun family was simply about to be crushed on the spot!
And......
Thinking of Zheng Jia's joke that day, planning to let all the brothers and sisters wear police uniforms to attend the engagement ceremony, Sun Peng felt that in addition to liver trembling, his heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys trembled together......
……
When Sun Peng was busy with his own movies and waiting for the day of the engagement, the competition for the summer file entered a white-hot state.
"Eyes of Heaven", which won the box office of 1.4 billion yuan in two weeks, is undoubtedly the current leader, and although "Keep Talking" has a good reputation, because of the problems of investment, theme and starring role, although the box office is good, it did not win the box office championship in the first weekend, and only won a position on the list.
And in the next week, three big productions are quietly coming.
Needless to say, "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit" has spent a lot of effort to promote it, and now it has become the most anticipated animated film in the summer file; As for another costume masterpiece "Gale" and an action movie "Crying Man", they also have the idea of competing for the summer championship.
As for Sun Peng's words, of course, he didn't completely ignore them.
"Wouldn't it be cute to put a copy of Chihiro's earliest design draft?"
"The inspiration for the story came from a trip in Kyoto, when by chance, I heard a story told by a local woman......
"Look at these paper figures, do you think of anything?"
"Grandpa Boiler and his soot ......"
……
Thunder can't move.,Upload at least two original design drawings every day.,Or just pull it off.,Make up your own creation or modify ideas, etc.,Anyway, it's emphasizing the identity of this animation all the time - the script and funding mainly come from China.,The Japanese are just responsible for the production.。
But overall, the scale of publicity for "Spirited Away's Hide" is not very remarkable.
After all, it is an animated film that will be released at the same time as "The Wind" and "The Crying Man", compared with the huge investment of the former and the fighting method of the two actors in the latter, Chihiro, an animation with too strong Japanese style, can attract fewer audiences, at least in terms of scale, it cannot be compared with the two.
At least compared to the propaganda efforts in Japan, it is really far behind......
