Chapter 968
It has been nearly a month since there have been no popular movies released in the Dragon Kingdom film industry! During this month, the total daily box office has been hovering between 30 and 40 million. The owners of tens of thousands of theaters across the country have been waiting for the big movie schedule of the summer holiday for a long time!
Although in the parallel world, the work of Hearing the Sound of the Waves is not very famous!
Compared with other Ghibli works, it really doesn't have so much aura! But this does not mean that this work is not good. On the contrary, there are so many excellent works in the parallel world Japan Island Century, and it is still missed by fans after so many years. How can it be an ordinary work!
At least, Chu Yu really likes this work, and in the eyes of fans of Studio Ghibli in the parallel world, this work is also in the forefront of so many works of Ghibli!
His purpose of making this work was not to make money, but he just felt that such a work needs to be produced, so he started the related production plan!
And even considering Zhao Qinyin's current status, having this work under her name will not lower her reputation, and considering Zhao Qinyin's current reputation, after carrying Spirited Away, Zhao Qinyin's second part The popularity of animated films, even if Chu Yu turned the parallel world classic bad film Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains into an animated film, and then continued to release it amidst a lot of criticism, Chu Yu felt that the box office would not be less than 700 million or 800 million!
So let Zhao Qinyin be a little more modest in publicity, and say that his psychological expectation of hearing the sound of the waves is one billion!
Originally, there are so many blockbusters in the film industry, most of the films are only a few hundred million at the box office, and the hot ones are more than a billion. To be honest, Chu Yu's modest goal has been ridiculed by a group of film critics in the film industry!
These people don't believe that a woman who mixes in the animation industry can make a big difference in the Dragon Kingdom film industry!
Even if it is the creator of the box office records of Longguo movies!
If just creating an animated film can earn more than one billion at the box office, then just change Zhao Qinyin's name to Money Printing Machine!
It's just that the facts are always different from their common sense!
Hearing that the pre-sale box office of The Sound of Waves exceeded 200 million. On July 1, the release date, the total box office of The Sound of the Wave plus the pre-sales and the support of Zhao Qinyin fans who went to the movies early in the morning, the total The box office is already at 230 million!
And yesterday, Asuka, which won the single-day box office champion with a box office of 130 million, now has a total box office of 150 million. The box office growth of the two works of Reincarnation Monday and No Name is obviously not as good as expected.
No!
The investors of the three works had a bad feeling in their hearts. Spirited Away was also released in the summer. In this period when the total box office will not exceed 4 billion over the years, a single work won the break. A record box office of 8.4 billion.
Later, someone seriously analyzed the schedule of Spirited Away. From the perspective of the initial schedule, the quality of the competing films, and the promotion, Spirited Away did not have the upper hand. The Longguo filmmakers felt that this was too embarrassing, so they could only compare Spirited Away. The success of Chihiro is due to the outrageous taste of Dragon Kingdom movie fans and Zhao Qinyin's good luck.
But I heard the sound of the waves, such a kind of publicity with an investment of only tens of millions, and even the publicity is not particularly expensive, can have such an effect?
Hearing the opening results of Taosheng, a group of professional filmmakers in Longguo expressed their incomprehension!
Why does this kind of data that is only available in the Spring Festival file appear in a work in the summer file?
Are those nerds really so strong in the fighting power of the second dimension of the Dragon Kingdom?
Many people are waiting for the first wave of movie reviewers in the cinema after ten o'clock!
Ninety percent of filmmakers in Longguo want to hear the sound of the waves rushing to the street!
Although this has nothing to do with them, if Zhao Qinyin makes this work popular again this time, then the practitioners in the Dragon Kingdom film industry will really lose face at all!
Of course, Zhao Qinyin's fans don't care about these things!
The 200 million pre-sale box office on the first day was for the three words Zhao Qinyin! But if the movie is not good, they are not the same as those in the fan circle, and those who should be sprayed will still be sprayed.
Liu Yun is like this. As a well-known animation blogger on Huhu and Weibo, although she is a loyal fan of Zhao Qinyin's works, she only fans works, not people. But if the works are not good-looking, her poisonous tongue will also come out. Famous!
Because of the particularity of her amateur work, she looks at anime works with a strict eye!
Similarly, thousands of people in her fan base are waiting for her viewing report two hours later! If everything is ok, the group friends in the group will buy tickets to watch the movie!
As a movie of only 70 minutes, I heard that the sound of the waves is really short, so GT animation production company described some details more delicately when making it, and the duration was also extended to 80 minutes, plus the opening and ending credits , It’s been nearly an hour and a half. There are a lot of classic bgm in this work, but to be honest, in terms of music, some places are obviously optimized. Chu Yu also invited some musicians from the plane of Longguo to recreate the work Added a few paragraphs of bgm, the effect is more sensational than the original version
In the parallel world, this work was just a movie broadcast on TV at the beginning, and then it was shown in theaters. Because it had already been broadcast on TV, its theater performance was average, but such a short work, it was later broadcasted in theaters. It was changed into a TV series, and it was rerun in the United States in 2016, which is enough to see its popularity!
The main line of the story of this work is actually quite simple. The spoiled, willful and rude, domineering beautiful girl Rikako Muto was forced to transfer to Kochi Prefecture in a remote area because of her parents' divorce, and the story of her encounter with the male protagonist Takumi Tosaki!
From the perspective of the plot, the structure is simple, and even in the process of watching, for a while, I felt that the heroine is an idiot!
It’s just that after watching this work as a whole, it will indeed touch most audiences. Maybe that feeling is not obvious, but the work will indeed make people easily recall their youth and high school career, as well as the secret love of that period. that girl!
At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist Du Qituo, who has graduated from university, saw a certain girl on the opposite platform at the train station.
Anyone who has seen this scene at 5 Centimeters per Second will naturally understand the plot structure.
At the beginning of Second 51, the adult male and female protagonists found each other on both sides of the railway, and then, after the train passed, the female protagonist had already left!
The same is true when you hear the sound of the waves, and the picture of the tram echoes from beginning to end!
In the parallel world, Hearing the Sound of the Waves is undoubtedly an old-timer who was released more than ten years before Second Five. Inspired by this work!
Of course, it's just a group of audience watching the movie in the dark theater, they haven't had any special reaction yet!
Just a feeling from the bottom of my heart.
This picture is really awesome!
Money Warrior!
Watching the animation produced by Tianxing and gt animation company is a visual enjoyment!
Such thoughts almost appear in the hearts of most people!
Liu Yun is no exception. Although I heard that the production cost of Sound of the Waves is far less than that of Spirited Away, the picture quality is already much higher than 99% of the animation works on the market!
The movie tells about the high school experience of the hero and heroine through flashbacks. The classic bgm of the scene: 海がきこえる (I can hear the sea!) played a faint piano sound, and soon, the hearts of all the movie fans entered In the movie plot!
The superficially mature male protagonist Takumi Tsusaki, and the good friend Yutaka Matsuno who likes the female protagonist Rikako Muto.
The opening is the common love triangle structure in emotional works!
It's just that the characters in the story are all quite real!
The male protagonist and his best friend's interest in the beautiful transfer girl Rikako Muto is reasonable and not vulgar!
Du Qituo is working hard to earn the expenses for his high school graduation trip to Hawaii!
The beginning of the story was just to introduce the relationship between the characters through memories and interludes, which lasted for ten minutes!
Some impatient fans already feel a little impatient, but for Liu Yun, such a plot is quite interesting!
The character of the hero, the character of the good friend Matsuno Yutaka, and the friendship between them.
The mid-term plot is the appearance of the heroine Rikiko Muto. She has excellent grades, strong sports, and good looks, so she is jealous of most girls in the school.
On the surface, the heroine is quiet and maverick, but she easily attracts the attention of the hero's best friend Yutaka Matsuno. Because she didn't come to school, she would go to Muto's house to visit the heroine, and then call The hero tells about his feelings for her!
Takumi Dusaki first got to know Rikiko Muto through his good friend Toyo Matsuno.
On a graduation trip in Hawaii, Muto called Taku Tosaki and asked him to borrow money
The entanglement between the hero and heroine begins here!
Seeing this, Liu Yun has let go of her critical vision and focused all her attention on the plot!
Such works, in the eyes of most Long Aotian animation fans, are boring!
But for an animation veteran like Liu Yun, there are too few works in which the characters' IQ, logic are online, and the characters are lovable in an animation plot!
She saw at a glance that Muto Na lost his wallet, so he asked the male protagonist Du Qituo to borrow money, and the excuse was a lie!
And she also knows very well that this is because the animation production team deliberately revealed details for her to see.
Whether it's Muto's expression or the voice actor's dubbing, they all give her such a feeling, but most of the anime noobs who don't watch movies seriously, or who don't have high life experience, such as the little girl next to her, don't see it at all ! I even commented with my companions, "Aren't you a rich man? How do you repay the loan?"
Muto, who is a rich man, and Takumi, who is an ordinary family who works hard, have different thoughts on borrowing money, which suddenly makes their Xinxiang three-dimensional!
Du Qitaku's seriousness and caution, and Muto's indifference, and even the impatient attitude of asking Du Qitaku for a few more questions even though he asked Du Qitaku for a loan!
But just like this, the two started talking happily!
Because she is a girl that a good friend likes, she lost money and came to him to solve the problem, so apart from the money necessary for the trip, the male protagonist Du Qi Takuzen lent her
Then this matter was seen by a good friend and asked about the situation!
The matter of borrowing money was known by the friends, and Muto blamed the male protagonist for talking too much! By the way, I also asked the male protagonist's friend Feng Matsuno to borrow another 20,000
Then after Muto borrowed the money, he didn't mention the repayment of the money for a few months. That's because the male protagonist worked hard after school and saved the money in the past two years!
The image of a good-natured male lead and an unlovable female lead stand up!
In the movie theater, no one is joking anymore at this time, and the plot is officially unfolding, but seeing this, Liu Yun thinks it’s okay, mainly because she marvels at Zhao Qinyin’s changes, the narrative structure of this work is really good now Yes, but the style of the work is quite different from Spirited Away!
Spirited Away is like a fairy tale, although it is a bit darker, but hearing the sound of the waves is too realistic!
Whether it is a male lead or a female lead, there are no too many fantasy elements, and they are all people you will meet in your daily life!
So later, Muto's good friend called him and asked him to dissuade Muto from cheating his mother, who planned to fly to Tokyo by plane privately, and even knew from the phone that Muto's plane money to Tokyo was borrowed sum of money
Everyone in Liu Yun was dumbfounded!
This heroine is so capricious!
Is such a guy really the heroine? With such an unlovable girl as the heroine, can this movie be well received?
Poor male protagonist, because he cares too much about his good friend, he thinks that helping the female protagonist is helping Matsuno Feng, and the money he has worked for for several years has been cheated like this
In the following plot, because I was afraid that Muto would have an accident, I was actually involved in this incident and ran to Tokyo together
I can't wash it!
Liu Yun was speechless. The male protagonist is too old and kind, but. Then he saw what happened to the female protagonist during his trip to Tokyo. The superficial ex-boyfriend hooked up with her ex-girlfriend less than two months after he left Tokyo. Her room and home were remodeled beyond recognition, she didn't care about her thoughts at all, she only cared about her father, just a high school student wearing various masks in front of her friends and couldn't help but feel sorry for the heroine Rikako Muto!
Even Muto ran to the male protagonist’s hotel in Tokyo because of feeling uncomfortable, and occupied the male protagonist’s bed, while the male protagonist was forced to sleep in the bathtub.
The male lead, who knows nothing, didn't notice the change in Muto's attitude towards him during this trip to Tokyo, and even this matter was still spread in school, and was known by his good friend Matsuno Yutaka. In order to ask about it, like Muto showed his heart!
What I got was Muto.
"I hate Kochi, I hate everything in Kochi, and I don't want to fall in love with people here. Just thinking about this possibility makes me get goosebumps," Mapo responded!
A good friend confessed to Muto but was insulted, Du Qitaku finally couldn't bear it! The teacher called out Muto, but the two ended up falling apart, and slapped each other in the corridor
Wolf off! ! !
Liu Yunren just looked excited! This plot is simply fresh and refined, the male and female protagonists slap each other in the corridor. Is this still a love movie?
Muto, who was hated by everyone because he didn't participate in the rehearsal for class activities, was bullied by his classmates
The male protagonist who saw this, didn't meddle in his own business this time!
He was slapped in the face by Muto and Matsuno Yutoyo who later learned the truth!
"You are such a fool" the friend threw this sentence at him!
It's just that what Matsuno didn't know was that Dusaki Taku just didn't want to continue to embarrass Matsuno, and he intervened too much between him and Muto, which made the relationship between Matsuno and Muto so stiff!
The hero and his best friend, after this incident, they didn't say a word until they graduated from high school
The movie has progressed to the present, and the plot has entered the later stage!
After savoring it carefully, Liu Yun realized that Muto probably fell in love with the hero, so he slapped him when he saw that the hero was indifferent to being bullied!
And Toyo Matsuno, aware of Muto's feelings for Taku, knew that the person he liked was indifferent to seeing him being bullied, and how much he hurt Muto, so he punched the hero in anger!
There is only the male protagonist, who doesn't understand the female protagonist's feelings for him at all ()
In fact, if the plot of this animated movie is just like this, it may be just a love movie with a decent plot and a strange plot!
But when Du Qi Taku's memories ended, time came to his perspective after college!
After a few years, the meeting with Matsuno Yutaka, the broken friendship seems to be gradually repaired in the daily discussions between the two!
At this point in the plot, under the rendering of the bgm of 海がきこえる, a touch of emotion lingers in the hearts of Liu Yun and the audience!
Obviously, the story of the whole movie is straightforward, but the whole work, nearly an hour before it, is all about shaping the friendship and love between these three people.
When two best friends who used to be best friends are watching the sunset at the seaside, because of a girl, the broken friendship seems to be gradually repaired!
"At that time, I was angry because I knew you were concerned about my feelings, so I didn't come forward to stop you," Matsuno said, turning his back to Dusaki Taku.
"But it wasn't until then that I realized that you also like Rikiko Muto!"
Du Qituo didn't have a moved expression, this moment moved the hearts of many audiences in the theater!
In more than an hour, the details of the three characters portrayed in the movie, the friendship of the two, the love triangle of the three, the same plot structure, but the impact is completely different from those love movies on the market!
It's just an understatement, and the mutual feelings are shown!
At the reunion of high school classmates, Muto did not come, but what Muto's good friend Xiao Bin inadvertently revealed touched Liu Yun even more!
"Rikako Muto said that she met someone in Tokyo. She only said that this person slept in the bathtub!"
In the animation, Matsuno's relieved smile at this time, and the surprised male protagonist Du Qi Taku!
What she wants to see most is the man sleeping in the bathtub!
The boy who accompanied her to Tokyo to meet her father whom she hadn't seen since her parents divorced, the boy who gave her the big bed and went to sleep in the bathtub by himself.
Why was she not afraid of being bullied by more than a dozen girls, but Muto was so angry that she was indifferent to the fact that she was being bullied?
The emotions that have been suppressed throughout the whole movie are all vented through a sentence from Muto's friend Xiao Bin!
Then I contacted what the people who attended the class reunion said. Although Muto was admitted to the local university, he was also admitted to the university in Tokyo secretly, and actually stayed in Tokyo. someone she wants to see
If you swipe it once, you won’t notice this detail, but if you swipe it twice, you can understand that Muto went against his mother’s advice and applied for a university in Tokyo, probably because Takumi Dusaki went to Tokyo to go to university
Most audiences in the cinema didn't realize this, but Liu Yun did!
At this time, she felt very uncomfortable being made very uncomfortable by this work!
Reminiscent of my youthful years full of regrets!
Many plots of hearing the sound of the waves are not directly spoken, but the audience experience it themselves!
If you can understand it, you can feel the spirit of this work. If you can't understand it, you will only feel that the plot is so strange!
How did Wu Teng like Duqi Takuki, how Duqi Takuki was so strange, Hao Jiyou Matsuno Toyota is not a man. For a woman, he violently brothers and good brothers for a few years!
For the three main characters, their psychological descriptions are not mentioned, but they are metaphorized from various animation details!
The hero's feelings for Muto were understood by Matsuno after many years, and he said it when the two met! As for Muto's feelings for the male protagonist, she only revealed to her best friend Xiao Bin, "The person I want to meet is a boy who likes to sleep in the bathtub!"
The hidden and restrained emotions of the animated characters, when you understand them, come like a tide! Liu Yun felt it now!
"I wish I could chat with Muto in high school!"
At the end of the class reunion, Du Qituo remembered Muto and his various memories in high school! This is one of the few psychological descriptions of him in the animation, and it also confirms his love for Muto!
The plot here is just like the title of the work, Hearing the Sound of the Waves, Du Qituo, he. He heard the sound of the waves in his heart!
Hearing the sound of the waves in my heart, I realized it later, and then realized that I had missed so much because of my childishness!
When I was young, it was like looking at the sea. When I first arrived at the seaside, I only felt it was magnificent. When I left the coast, I would recall the sound of the waves. When I was young, I was too young and naive.
The male protagonist is just an ordinary man who didn't show any affection for the girl he liked until the end of high school graduation, just because he was afraid of hurting his best friend Matsuno who also likes Muto!
So when the movie ends, the perspective shifts to the beginning of the animation, the tram platform!
Takumi Takumi and Rikako Muto saw each other on the opposite side of the platform!
Through the underground passage, Du Qi Taku hurried to catch the girl
Then, there was no one there!
Fans who have watched Second Five all felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity this time, but when Du Qi Taku turned around, the train drove away. At the position where he was standing a minute ago, was Muto
Muto did the same move as him, and came to the opposite side through the underground passage
The two looked at each other on both sides of the platform across the railway track!
"I really like her, I feel so deeply"
Du Qituo's last inner monologue makes the story end in a meaningful place!
The ending song is playing!
Liu Yun's consciousness is still immersed in the story.
The whole story is plain on the surface, but it is really hidden in the plain story. The turbulent emotions in the hearts of the three characters are not easy to detect! It's just that once I realize it, I feel very uncomfortable at this time!
Such a pair of male and female protagonists with their own shortcomings, will they be together after the story?
It is obvious that people in the crowd can recognize each other at a glance, and even subconsciously chase each other's figure, otherwise they would not have seen the other party and immediately came to the opposite side through the bottom passage, resulting in a position exchange. After all these years, they still care about each other so much !
If only one of the two was more mature during high school, wouldn't it be possible for the two to have no contact for a few years!
So many thoughts came to mind!
Liu Yun admitted that this work is indeed not as good as Spirited Away, but this work is good enough!
At least in works of the same type, Shui Xin's speed of 5 centimeters per second is considered a very good result!
But Liu Yun felt that although the result model of this work borrowed from Second Five, it is also a train kill, but after the train passes, one work is the opposite person going to the empty building, and the other is the meaningful two people looking at each other!
Liu Yun felt that hearing the sound of the waves was much better than Second Five! It's not because she likes happy end, but because of the plot of the story, it's better than Second Five!
It's just that the plot is a bit difficult to understand, and it takes a lot of reading to understand the feelings that the plot wants to convey!
Walking out of the cinema with a dizzy head, Liu Yun looked at the review of the ticketing app that heard the sound of the waves!
The work is scored 8.9 points
"I don't understand it, the plot progresses too fast!"
"Give me nine points first, I will go to the second brush, I feel a little uncomfortable after watching it, but I can't understand which episode brought the uncomfortable feeling! I just feel uncomfortable!"
"Ms. Zhao Qinyin's work is a tribute to Mr. Shuixin's second five! But the ending is happy!"
"I'm a little disappointed. I don't understand why Muto likes Du Qituo, and then Matsuno breaks with the male protagonist. The plot is inexplicable, and the timeline jumps around! Teacher Zhao Qinyin will not be overturned this time!"
"If you don't understand, don't give a low score. Watch it a few more times. I want to cry. It reminds me of my youth! It's such a pity, there is such a girl."
"It's not as good as Spirited Away, but I think it's crushing than Second Five! It's really hard to serve anime fans now. People describe more plots to make it easier for you to understand. They also talk about poor plots. There are not many plots like hearing the sound of the waves. These people who explained in detail can't understand it. Outrageous!"
"Brothers, I went to the second brush, this work exceeded my expectations! Teacher Zhao Qinyin said that this work is not popular, and the results will not be too good! I am here to express my dissatisfaction. I think it is really good-looking. It is better than yesterday. I don’t know how good the love movie Asuka starring the traffic niche is! Now thinking about the mentally handicapped plot makes me sick!”
The comments under the movie are all over the place! mixed reviews!
The corner of Liu Yun's mouth twitched into a smile! This work has been able to maintain a score of 8.9 points, she ate the phone!
If an unknown creator made this work, it might hit the streets because of the difficult plot of the work!
But who is Zhao Qinyin? With so many fans, there are always people who know what to expect. Once the popularity of Hearing the Waves is heated up, and various analysis posts and comments help these people understand the plot, this work can still flutter, and can the rating be low?
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yun bought the ticket for the second brush, and then sent a message in the group he formed!
"It's definitely worth the ticket price. Even if Zhao Qinyin's name is on it, it won't disappoint. But I suggest you do it again!"
After posting, Liu Yun continued to walk to the theater!
In the movie market on July 1st, I heard that the box office of the first day of Taosheng was fixed at 280 million, because many secret watch drivers were difficult to understand, and even bluntly said it was not good.
On the other side, the producers of Asuka and other works had a dismal box office performance on this day, which was significantly lower than yesterday's premiere! Seeing this situation, he spared no effort to ask Shui Junhei to hear the sound of the waves!
This caused the pre-sale box office on the second day of hearing the sound of the waves to drop from the previous 200 million to 36 million!
Almost fell off a cliff!
But on the other hand, the major animation websites, especially Xinmanwang, the major up owners began to make analysis videos of hearing the sound of the waves overnight!
Almost without exception, everyone is unanimous! Just waiting for the approval to be put on the shelves!
Those who specialize in this line of work can't tell if the work is good or bad?
Not to mention what a masterpiece Hearing the Sound of the Waves is, but the quality of this work plus Zhao Qinyin's popularity, as well as the unsightly rival movies of the same period!
They really thought that Zhao Qinyin was too modest, thinking that the box office of the sound of the waves might be worth a billion.
