Chapter 888: The Harvest of Travel

The box office curve after the release of the slam dunk version is not much different from what Chen Muchen expected.

After the surprise of more than 200 million yuan in the first weekend in China, it is a downward trend, accompanied by a flood of criticism - in the eyes of many people, the slam dunk version lacks enough sincerity, and it is completely a money-making work of DreamWorks. As for overseas, although the performance is quite good, the performance of 500 million yen in the first weekend of Japan, and the total box office is expected to be less than 2 billion, and the performance is not on the same level as "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit" at all, which disappointed many fans.

However, the purpose of collecting money must have been achieved.

Not to mention just recovering the cost, the domestic box office profit alone is at least more than 100 million, and after removing the share to the distribution company, DreamWorks can make at least 60 or 70 million! Coupled with the share of the overseas box office, more than 100 million is appropriate, and if you add the future network and TV copyrights, it is bound to become a long-term source of income for DreamWorks.

Even if Sun Peng was not very happy, he had to admit that the senior brother did a good job.

The only loss may be word-of-mouth, so long before the establishment of this theatrical version of the project, Chen Muchen and the others picked Lao Bai cleanly, and there was no other name except for an original work. And when carrying out publicity, he also deliberately avoided Lao Bai's gimmick, but focused on the slam dunk itself......

To put it simply, Lao Bai has little to do with this animation.

"These people are really monkey spirits!"

After figuring out all this, Sun Peng sighed, let go of the unhappiness in his heart, and refocused on "Harry? Potter and the Philosopher's Stone...... No, it should be on "Han Bo and Lingshi".

Sun Peng, who was incompetent, directly changed Harry Potter to Han Bo, and the Philosopher's Stone to a Spirit Stone.

As for the whole book, he then began a long road of revisions - it is really not easy to change those Western-style narratives and dialogues into Chinese, especially if you want to write it well - if this is not a children's work, Sun Peng really does not have this confidence.

The most important thing is to write for children to be simple and easy to understand.

And although "Sun Peng" couldn't write anything good before because of the constraints of experience, imagination and other reasons, he was also an uncle who was a professor of literature, and he grew up with a lot of knowledge and eyes, and his basic literary literacy was still passable. So modify one for children, Sun Peng is barely competent......

Before you know it, the days are passing day by day.

After the release of the slam dunk version, Sun Peng left Tokyo and began a stroll in Japan.

Kyoto, Osaka, Hokkaido......

Everywhere Sun Peng went, he measured these places with his feet, watched and listened attentively with his eyes and ears, compared them with the Japanese works in his memory, and at the same time carefully pondered what could be taken out and which would be useful in this world.

Every time he thought of one, Sun Peng wrote it in his little notebook.

Of course, this does not mean that Sun Peng will necessarily write them all, he is just accumulating material for future possibilities...... Or to put it bluntly, it's just accumulating "experience"!

Japan is a big market, and Sun Peng hopes to capture it.

It's not enough to rely on a "Spirited Away" and a "Frozen", Sun Peng hopes to have more to impress Japanese audiences, and then open the way for future films. So when he was in Osaka, Sun Peng "coincidentally" encountered a funeral, and also "coincidentally" met a special profession......

……

At the end of September, "The Sixth Sense" and "Bourne's Identity 2" have come to an end in major countries.

"The Sixth Sense" starring Liang Ren, China's number one movie star, performed mediocre in China, and the final box office was less than 1.8 billion, which was a bit unexpected by the producer. But because of the use of a large number of Hollywood actors, and the story is also set in the United States, it is very popular in Europe and the United States, and the box office in North America alone is as high as more than 170 million US dollars, and Europe has also swept more than 100 million US dollars, and even Japan has nearly 40 million, and the global box office has exceeded 700 million!

Relying on the box office of this movie, many people shouted the slogan of Liang Ren's successful transformation!

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the downhill road of Huaxia's super costume masterpieces is very obvious, and the excessive consumption in the past few years has completely exhausted the potential of this genre. As Liang Ren, who started with a huge costume and squeezed into the world film industry, many people are also quite optimistic. But with a suspenseful horror that doesn't cost much to make...... There are also those who call "The Sixth Sense" a warm movie...... Many people have seen Liang Ren's strength in other types......

As for another pure Chinese movie "Bourne's Identity 2", it is also a box office hit!

The global box office also exceeded 600 million US dollars, but unlike the movies starring Liang Ren, Bourne's second part, which has almost no heavyweight stars, won more than 3 billion at the domestic box office, more than 400 million US dollars, but the overseas box office is less than 200 million, more than half of which is still achieved in the Asian market.

There are less than 50 million in North America and less than 30 million in Europe!

In addition to the appeal of the movie star, the genre influence of the film is also very important. Although the original "Hurricane Rescue" was also a spy movie, it was a "personal show", the kind that went to save his daughter after retiring, so it was still acceptable in Europe and the United States. But "Bourne's Identity 2" is different, in some people's words, it is showing the "hard power" of Huaxia!

So even if it has reached the second part, the quality has not decreased in the slightest, but the box office in Europe and the United States is still very average.

On the contrary, in the Asian region, which countries empathize with the rise of China, it is much easier to accept this. Especially those countries in Southeast Asia, the box office performance is better than that of Japan and South Korea......

Far from it.

Compared with Lao Bai's two scripts, the performance of the theatrical version of "Slam Dunk" is much worse.

In the two and a half weeks after its release, the domestic box office in China was more than 500 million, and the final landing point was about 800 million; The overseas box office is also not optimistic, and the highest Japanese is currently less than 2 billion yen, and the final landing point is more than 100 million Chinese dollars. Coupled with the other dozen or so countries with good slam dunk influence, there must be one billion Chinese coins, but not much.

For such a result, Sun Peng is undoubtedly disappointed.

In his previous life, he was a super fan of Slam Dunk, but in this life, because of the good domestic copyright environment, the sales of Slam Dunk comics have surpassed that of the earth, and this result is really difficult to call satisfactory. However, unlike Sun Peng, the box office fully met Chen Muchen's expectations......

……

When the time came to the beginning of October, Sun Peng finally had enough time in Japan.

Or more than a month is enough for him to add a resume of "understanding Japanese customs and customs" to the setting of his life, and this seems to be enough for a "genius".

In particular, over a month or so, he met at least five undertakers and observed their work at least ten times.

If it weren't for the attributes of a surgeon in his previous life, maybe Sun Peng would really be difficult to persevere. However, with the blessing of dragging him to his old white name, several mortuaries were very enthusiastic about Sun Peng, not only showing him the details of the undertaker's work in every detail, but also revealing their lives to him.

Just going to the mortician's house as a guest, Sun Peng spent almost a week.

While chatting with the family members of these special professions, Sun Peng took a pen and wrote down carefully in his notebook - although Sun Peng himself understood that these things were actually useless, he had to make everything look so solemn. Maybe one day in the future, these mortuaries will be interviewed by the Japanese media, and then they will show the world the process of the appearance of that movie, and that is what Sun Peng wants.

So when Sun Peng felt that "collecting style" was enough, it was time to leave.

Merely......

Before finally leaving, Sun Peng went back to Tokyo again, and then found Fujiwara Kura, who was filming a new movie, and then left a sentence: "I suddenly had an inspiration for this trip to Japan, so I will create a script for you next year, and you must leave me a good schedule when the time comes......"
