Chapter 827
Judging from the trailer, Bookland has more trailer content, and the duration of the trailer is more than one minute. Fans can basically understand what kind of work this is after watching the trailer!
But Spirited Away is much more mysterious. Some pictures of the protagonist Chihiro are dressed in modern people, and some modern buildings seem to have flashed past!
But the plot is rather lazy and bizarre. The 20-second trailer begins with Chihiro riding a white dragon, and the flashing scene in the middle is a place like a sauna!
And there are spider monsters, frog monsters in the sauna room, and of course there is a beautiful boy in white that makes fans covet!
After all, the characters in the animation want him to look beautiful and handsome, so there is still a role for spending money.
Generally speaking, Chu Yu will not change the painting style of the characters, but the subtleties will still be adjusted!
But basically, the 20-second preview plot is enough for fans who have been looking forward to this work for a long time to give full play to their imagination!
"Shocked, the girl mistakenly entered the sauna as a child laborer, and the visitors inside were strange and not human! Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"
"Why did you make such a bad sentence about the above?"
"But to be honest, should Spirited Away make it so mysterious? Teacher Jiang Qi's book environment is basically very attractive in the trailer. To be honest, Spirited Away didn't know it at all after watching the trailer. What story are you going to tell?"
"It is said to be of the fantasy type!"
"Nonsense, I know that group of demons and ghosts is not a normal world. I mean, what is the main line of the story?"
"I hope I don't slow down like a slam dunk!"
"No matter how you look at it, the protagonist of Slam Dunk tm started the game in episode 13, and finished the first ball game of this work in episode 19. Spirited Away is only a two-hour movie. Like Slam Dunk, it is the boss of the animation company. I don’t have to burn it, right? I’ll lose if I get 50 million at the box office, and I won’t lose him!”
"That's right. I've seen slow-moving TV series and anime, but I haven't seen slow-moving movies. Indeed, the time and space of a movie doesn't allow it to slow down!"
"It's just that until now, although I have always had expectations for Spirited Away, the lesson of slam dunk is in front of me. I hope this work will be normal!"
"Indeed, the investment of Spirited Away is 450 million. Normally speaking, at least 13.4 billion box office can be paid back. Last year, there were only nine films in Longguo with more than this box office, and five of them made more than one billion box office. Yes, there are two with more than 2 billion box office, one with more than 3 billion, and last year's box office champion, with a total box office of nearly 5 billion. Not one of them is an animated film, and the highest box office of an animated film last year was only 700 million More box office. After all, everyone likes to watch serial animations, not animated movies!"
"Moreover, the works released on the same day as Spirited Away and Book Realm, the release dates of the two works were chosen to be released in early July in order to avoid the strong enemies of the summer holidays!"
"There aren't any great movies in summer, right? In terms of investment, Spirited Away and Bookland are actually big investments in anime. Are you afraid of those?"
"Indeed, the investment of 400 million in Bookland and Spirited Away's investment of 450 million are the two largest films released in July. However, movies don't depend on the investment. Many movies invite a There are a lot of big-name stars, and the production may be bad, but in terms of popularity, I don’t know how much more than two animated films, it’s normal for Tianxing and GT animation companies to be a little bit fake!”
After the trailers of the two works were broadcast, people who eat melons on the Internet discussed the content of the trailers.
However, there is one thing that these people think wrong. Tianxing chose the schedule of early July because it really didn’t want to compete with the summer movies in mid-July. Let's fight for the big piece of cake in the summer file together!
It would be better to eat this small piece of cake alone at the beginning of July, when Quanlong National primary and secondary school students are close to their holidays, and there will be a time difference of eight or nine days!
But what Tianxing didn't expect was that the gt animation company on the Japanese island really had a crush on them. The release date and other things had to be reported in advance, and it was impossible to hide it, so Huang Ming followed Chu Yu's request, Whether it is the release of the trailer or the scheduled date, it is the same day.
Chu Yu personally thinks that for a work like Spirited Away, the schedule has a lot to do with it, but basically it will not be a decisive factor, and naturally it doesn't care when it will be released!
But Tianxing felt very disgusted, no matter how good the quality of Spirited Away is, what will happen if it competes with Bookland at the box office? But there is no doubt that two animated films of the same type, released on the same day, will definitely have a huge impact on each other.
Unlike chasing fans on the Internet, most people don’t have the time and energy to watch two movies in a row, so the result of the competition between Bookland and Spirited Away is very likely to be the box office performance of the losing party in the public opinion and word-of-mouth war It will be much worse than the normal scheduled release situation. After all, there is only time to watch one movie, so everyone will definitely choose to watch the one with the best reviews!
There is no lack of this kind of situation in the Longguo film industry. Before the release, professionals agreed that a movie with a box office of more than one billion would break through. A dark horse movie of the same type appeared in the same period, and its popularity and attention were all attracted. In the end, let alone a billion box office, this work didn't even break 500 million!
On Chuyu's side, his eyes were fixed on Tianxing, but on Tianxing's side, there were disagreements within the company regarding the approaching book release date.
"I think that we chose the release date of Bookland at the beginning of July. The purpose is not to compete with the dozen or so movies in the summer on July 10. It will be released a week earlier to form a good reputation among the fans. Wait until a week later. Afterwards, you can still enjoy a lot of summer audience bonuses! Although it has been released for a week, the freshness of the work has declined, and you will definitely not be able to eat the biggest bite of the cake, but the overall risk will be much smaller. But now.
"Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, why don't we just change the file and go head-to-head with those dozen or so physical movies. Anyway, we are worthwhile in terms of investment and publicity! Although the risks are high, the returns will also rise accordingly. High!" A senior executive of Tianxing Company raised doubts in this meeting.
"I don't agree. Slam Dunk directly collided with our company's basketball style. Although the reputation of slam dunk has eased in the past two weeks, our company's basketball style clearly occupies an absolute advantage in popularity. This proves that what gt is the Japanese island? An animation company, what kind of talented girl Zhao Qinyin is just gaining a false name, as a leading animation production company in the mainland, if we suddenly change the file at this time, wouldn't we be criticized by others and we are afraid of each other?" Another The man immediately retorted.
"That's right, the other party is just an animation company that was on the verge of bankruptcy two years ago. What is there to be afraid of? We, Tianxing, have invested so much money in the production of animation, how can we lose to the other party?"
"Forget it, everyone can still vividly remember the miracle of cl's animation. It happened only a few months ago, and now the reputation of dunking has risen. Although we can't belittle ourselves, who knows that Spirited Away is a work? What's the situation? To put it bluntly, it might be at the level of Zhao Qinyin's street comic two years ago, but what if it's Wang Bo?"
A group of people were arguing endlessly at the meeting, and Yin Tian frowned directly, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
Although he is the chairman of the company, he also has other directors. In a listed company with a scale of tens of billions, there are very few individuals who fully control it. The same is true for Tianxing. Although Yin Tian is the largest shareholder, his shareholding is not so big that he can talk about it. !
The company cooperates with lba to produce animations, and the profit on the surface is still second, and the income from the capital market is even greater in the dark. Even if it is him, he must consider the opinions of other shareholders when making decisions.
Although Yin Tian is not afraid of that small company in Japan, and the so-called talented girl Zhao Qinyin, the other seven or eight major small and medium shareholders of the company are very conservative.
The main purpose of Tianxing in making the animated film Bookland is to make a profit at the box office. The key point is to break the box office record of 1.63 billion set by "Qingluan", the top box office animation film in Dragon Kingdom three years ago. !
Although this result is not a big deal among all the movies, and the Dragon Kingdom movie rankings are only in the top 50 or 60, it is already the top box office list of animation movies, which is a somewhat niche category!
It can be said that when the book environment project was established, the entire Tianxing was also working towards this direction and this goal.
As long as this goal is achieved, the company's profit margins, performance, etc. will be hyped, and the market's confidence in Tianxing will rise, and Tianxing's stock price will definitely rise. Everyone deserves to earn!
None of Yin Tian and this group of shareholders said that they are sitting here for the healthy development of the animation industry in Longguo, they are just looking at the benefits.
But everyone never expected that Cheng Yaojin from Zhao Qinyin and gt animation company would appear, and the risks of the pre-planned plan would rise sharply.
The question Yin Tian has to consider now is, in the case of the release of Spirited Away, a work whose production, investment, publicity, and exposure are not weaker than the book environment, in early July, which is still a normal schedule, and Now that the second week has fully entered the summer holiday season, can Shujing complete the task of surpassing the box office record of "Qingluan" with 1.63 billion?
If this task cannot be completed, even if Spirited Away suffers heavy losses due to the self-destructive fight, what good will it do for Yin Tian and Tian Xing? It's nothing more than a sigh of relief, it's useless at all 2
"That group of bugs!" Yin Tian clenched his fists.
For the first time, he felt a sense of aggrieved. Under the premise of being unable to use official power to suppress each other, gt animation company and Zhao Qinyin, this combination of unreasonable cards really made him sick!
What can you do with an enemy who doesn't care about making a profit, but just wants to suppress you, and even pull you to blow yourself up?
And Yin Tian still doesn't know where the other party went to eat the rat poison to get crazy, just because he taunted them several times in public, that's it. He Yin Tian has never been so overbearing in the animation industry of Longguo! At least I will laugh and talk with the other party a few times before doing it!
"Let's discuss this matter later." Yin Tian decided the nature of this meeting.
Yin Tian doesn't think that his company's book environment will lose to the other party's Spirited Away, but the risk of releasing the two works together is indeed too high. At the meeting, his subordinates proposed that the book environment schedule be postponed by one week, and it is not right to directly compete for the summer vacation. Can't!
The risk is greater, but the rewards are also greater! What if the few so-called big star movies in the summer vacation are all paper tigers, what if they look good but don't work? When the time comes, if Bookland becomes the No. 1 movie in the summer vacation, let alone more than one billion records, two billion box office records are just around the corner!
After all, the Longguo entertainment, film and animation industry not only has a high online payment rate, but also a high national viewing rate. Every year, the summer box office champion, the box office starts at 2 billion, and there are 3 billion, even the runner-up. 100 million box office! It's not unreasonable for Yin Tian to head-to-head!
As for whether the outside world thinks that Tianxing is afraid of the other party, that doesn't matter. He only cares about profit!
"Let's take a look at the next performance of Slam Dunk! After all, the two works were produced by Zhao Qinyin at the same time. If the popularity of the follow-up series of Slam Dunk is average, it proves that her two works are not in good condition. The probability will be the same level of works, so there is nothing to be afraid of! On the contrary, it means that the other party is in good condition, so it is not impossible to shift gears." Yin Tian took a deep breath, and a glint of sharpness flashed in his sinister eyes.
Chu Yu, who was far away on the Japanese island, didn't know that his plot actually caused Yin Tian a lot of trouble.
In the past few days, he has been busy reviewing the company's various businesses, especially Spirited Away. After all, the animation production time is tight. Even if he has been adding people in the follow-up, it will take mid-to-early June until the production of the work is completed. Matsuoka Mitsuru, the actual animation director, is now living in the company almost three days a week, and there are many members of the main production team he leads who don't wash their hair for five or six days!
Su Zhi didn't have the energy to chat with him all day long, and he was away from the company for several days a week, and went out to various parts of the Japanese island to negotiate with partners.
After all, Huang Ming is in charge of the inland market, so she mainly manages the Japanese island market.
Compared with serial animation, which has a long time to deal with problems, the release of animated films is an opportunity for things to explode near the release period!
Except for Chu Yu, everyone in the whole company was immersed in a kind of pressure.
The plot was not good a few weeks before Slam Dunk, and word-of-mouth can be remedied later, but it can be said that for an animated film like Spirited Away, word-of-mouth and box office on the first day of release determine its approximate performance.
"How is it? Miss Su?"
Zhao Qinyin put a cup of tea beside Chu Yu and asked softly.
"No, she's only been away for a long time, what do I think she's doing?" Chu Yu came back to his senses, and responded subconsciously.
"That is to say, if she goes away for a long time, you will miss her?" Zhao Qinyin narrowed her eyes slightly.
Yes!
Just as Chu Yu was about to say this, he immediately realized and looked up.
Today, Zhao Qinyin was dressed as usual, with black hair, black silk, and a black dress. Just looking at her appearance, she looked like a beautiful high school student with long black hair and straight hair. She couldn't imagine that she had graduated from college for two years.
Having been with Chu Yu for a long time, she also understands Chu Yu's hobbies!
"How did you come?"
"When I'm done with work, I'll come and see you!"
Zhao Qinyin sat lightly on the chair next to Chu Yu, and a gust of fragrant wind hit her. From this angle, Chu Yu could see her slender black silk legs and fair neck. Chu Yu slightly looked away.
"Rest when you're done, there's no need to run to my place all the time!" Chu Yu coughed.
"If that's the case, when will you fall in love with me? I was always on a business trip before, but now that Sister Su is on a business trip, I am entitled to have the space between you and me!" Zhao Qinyin stared at Chu Yu.
Again.
Chu Yu was sweating profusely. She was very similar to Su Bao in this aspect. The light bulb was gone, so she came over immediately to look for opportunities.
"You should give up too, it's been so long!" Chu Yu said after a pause.
Although Chu Yu really thinks that he has a good impression of Zhao Qinyin, but now he doesn't dare to act rashly at all. After all, Su Yu's matter has not been resolved, and there is another Zhao Qinyin who is eyeing him.
Although he didn't think so in his heart, his rationality still made him warn the other party like this, Dim Sum's mouth is too honest!
"You should treat this kind of thinking equally. Instead of shamelessly double-standardizing me!" Zhao Qinyin's tone was calm, but her words were pointed.
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that!
"What do you mean by that?"
"You understand in your heart what I mean!"
Zhao Qinyin stared at Chu Yu's eyes, and Chu Yu felt that she had seen through all the secrets, and felt guilty all of a sudden.
Does she know about me and Su Zhi?
Or she was pointing out that she felt that Su Bao and I had gotten closer during this time, but treated her as usual.
Chu Yu didn't know the specific meaning of Zhao Qinyin's words, but if the other party didn't take the initiative to say it, he would definitely not be deceived and deceived by the other party. On the surface, it was as usual.
"I have always been like this, there is no double standard!" Chu Yu said without blushing.
Zhao Qinyin looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away.
"You" she said.
But in the end, nothing more was said.
"It's almost noon, and the latest update of Slam Dunk will be broadcast soon! I want to watch it with you!" Zhao Qinyin paused, and finally said this.
"No problem!" Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse even this request.
Although the three of them are together on weekdays, but now Su Yu is on a business trip. There's nothing he can do about it!
It's just that Chu Yu was a little distracted for a while, after all, the time spent alone with Zhao Qinyin is very little!
