Chapter 988
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, as soon as the cinema opened, people began to enter one after another!
Some third- and fourth-tier cities in Longguo are okay, after all, the urban traffic is not so large, but in those first- and second-tier cities, almost every theater is already overcrowded at this time!
The movie hall is full of three-dimensional posters, and among the movie fans who stopped to watch and appreciate them, most of them stayed in front of the two films of Sky City and Tianchen!
One is Chu Yuming's first theatrical movie in his life, and a large number of his fans are already waiting in the theater full of excitement!
On the other hand, Tianchen's starring actor fans are also very strong!
Such an adaptation of a novel would not have such a big appeal, but the starring lineup of this movie is indeed luxurious! The fans of more than a dozen big-name celebrities add up, and the momentum cannot be underestimated!
Of course, there are still a lot of dark horses during the Spring Festival, and many people are also optimistic about other movies. Some people even think that Tianchen and Sky City, the two most popular movies before their release, will hit the street!
After all, there are so many people in Long Kingdom, and there are all kinds of people!
But in any case, in the past one or two months, each of the several big-production movies in the Spring Festival file basically invested hundreds of millions of dollars in publicity, and all the things that should be done have been done. The next... A competition of hard power!
At 10:30, there are long queues in the theaters!
Like other film teams, the people who line up are either families, couples, or friends! Only the movie-watching queue in the city of the sky is strangely shaped!
All kinds of cosers are in the battle, there are cos super giants, some dressed up as the big devil Lelouch, there are monsters dressed up as Natsume, cc, magic girl Madoka, Kenshin
Cosers from all walks of life joined the battle, interspersed among a group of normal moviegoers. It is hard to say whether the number of people watching the movie is the movie with the largest number of moviegoers on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
But at least, the fans of Sky City are definitely the ones with the highest return rate in the theater!
On the Internet, all the navies attacked together, crazily discrediting their competitors!
But movie fans have also been cut out of experience by cutting leeks. Many people don't believe anything at all. They just wait for the first wave of movie fans to come out, and then decide whether to go or not to watch after the actual test and comments in the added fan group!
Lu Xiaorui is a pathfinder who is also a group leader!
She is just an ordinary movie lover, neither a star chaser nor a fan of Chu Yu!
I just heard from the media that Chu Yu, the screenwriter of Castle of the Sky, has the same name as that Zhao Qinyin in the animation industry!
Zhao Qinyin's "Spirited Away" was released at the peak and won the Dragon Country box office champion! If Chu Yu could be at the same level as her, would it be possible for Sky City to reach the height of Spirited Away?
Although Lu Xiaorui is not a fan, she is a fan of works, the animated film Spirited Away is definitely a treasure movie in the Dragon Kingdom film industry. She has watched it more than ten times after the webcast, and every time she sees it, she thinks this work interesting!
At this time, Lu Xiaorui took a few photos of cosplayers and sent them to the group in the movie viewing team of Sky City. As expected, a bunch of 2D elements exploded in the group!
The second dimension is really everywhere! This is true even for fans who think they are normal!
Lu Xiaorui complained in her heart, then took the movie ticket and walked into the theater.
The largest auditorium in the theater has at least 400 seats, but as the number of people seated increased, after a few minutes, Lu Xiaorui took a look and found that there were almost no vacant seats!
This is just the first movie in the morning, so many people?
It's hard to imagine that this is actually the attendance rate of a newcomer's work in the film industry! Although Chu Yu's reputation, the term "newcomer" is a bit of a Versailles for him, but it is true!
Lu Xiaorui thought to herself!
The theater was very noisy at first, but after the pre-screening advertisement appeared, everyone gradually quieted down!
Tianchen, Pinnacle, July includes Sky City!
A series of pre-screening commercials for big-budget movies in the Spring Festival file were played one by one, and after a lot of commercials came, the movie officially started!
The opening is an airboat robbery in the night!
The girl under house arrest, the vicious air bandit!
Compared with the original version, the picture of this version made by Chu Yu has undoubtedly been upgraded by countless levels!
Up to now, Chu Yu's fans have already accepted the fact that his works are of strange quality!
But even so, every time you see such a work, everyone still enjoys it very much! The already quiet theater was noisy again, and many whispers praising the quality of the animation could be vaguely heard!
As an early work of Hayao Miyazaki, if Castle in the Sky is purely based on data, it is obviously far inferior to Spirited Away!
But the Japanese animation industry in the parallel world in the early years was only in the development stage. Many things in the industry were not perfect, and the level of many excellent works could not be based on commercial value!
However, the eyes of the fans are unique. The parallel world produces hundreds of thousands of animation works a year, and the number of works that can be produced in a few decades exceeds the imagination of no matter how experienced animation Laobai is!
Standing out from so many works, there are not many animation works that have endured for decades, but Castle in the Sky is definitely one of them!
Of course, for most people in the parallel world, there are many people who haven't watched the Laputa animation movie, but there are indeed very few people who haven't heard the music of this work!
Many people think that Sky City is also the title of the theme song in the work, but in fact, the original title of this song is not called Sky City, but "With You", but the name Sky City is more famous, so in For many Huaguo animation fans in the parallel world, the four words "Laputa in the Sky" refer to both this movie and the theme song of this work!
And in the theater, when the short few minutes of hijacking by air robbers ended, the heroine of the story, Xida, slipped and fell from the airship, and this classic music sounded slowly in the theater
The op picture with a semi-spoiler story, soothing and slightly sad tunes, delicate and imaginative pictures.
I haven't seen any plot yet, but Lu Xiaorui is inexplicably infected by an atmosphere!
The jewel on Xida's chest protected her when she was about to fall to the ground, allowing her to glide from the air and land slowly like a feather!
The green light of the gemstone attracted the attention of the boy, the hero Balu. He rushed to the spot and caught the girl who fell from the sky like a feather!
There are a lot of sky elements in Hayao Miyazaki's works, whether it's Laputa in the Sky, The Wind Rises, Kiki's Emergency House, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, there is no lack of seeing the protagonist's yearning for the sky or the hero and heroine. The scene of soaring and walking in the air!
As a matter of fact, such a scene really makes the audience feel romantic!
At least Lu Xiaorui, her senses feel good at this moment!
The interaction between the girl and the boy after waking up, above the simple house, is the bright and clear sky, and the boy feeding the pigeons!
The biggest difference between animation movies and live-action movies is that in terms of imaginative expression on the screen, it is almost impossible for live-action movies to achieve such an effect! For the same plot, it is easier for everyone to accept the animation, but if the acting is good enough, it is difficult to surpass the effect of the animation. If the acting is not good, it will easily embarrass the audience!
The first meeting between the boy Baloo and the girl Hilda was on the roof of Bath's house surrounded by flying white pigeons!
A photo of a corner of the Sky City taken by Baru's father in a small plane.
The secrets of the young girl Xida, the gang of air robbers chasing her, and the encirclement and suppression of Xida by military officers.
The main story line and world view of Laputa in the Sky gradually unfold along with the adventures of Shida and Baloo!
Pursue the villain Muska of the legend of the castle in the sky, and the military used by this man!
Shida, who was caught by Muska and threatened Balu's life, temporarily agreed to cooperate with Muska!
The audience in the movie theater are finally immersed in the plot of the movie now!
Compared with the fantasy unfolding plot in the early stage of Spirited Away, the plot in the early stage of Sky City is also slightly more complicated and depressing!
But after all, the fans have full confidence in Chu Yu, so everyone is very patient! The phenomenon of taking out the mobile phone to scan Weibo did not appear in the cinema!
In order to rescue Shida, Baloo teamed up with the gang of air robbers who have been chasing after Shida's jewel!
The plot of Sky City finally entered the main line from here!
The robot wreckage of Laputa, an ancient civilization that rioted out of control in the military base, was rescued by the air bandits and Baru.
The sky robber who chased the wealth of Laputa, an ancient civilization, Shida who wanted to find out the truth about his family's past, and Balu who wanted to protect Shida! Embark on a journey to find the city in the sky.
Hayao Miyazaki's movies always have many meanings interspersed in them. After boarding the pirate ship, Xida also has to work, and the group at the dinner table strictly abides by the rules of respecting the old and loving the young!
Although it was a group of thieves who robbed property, Lu Xiaorui felt that this big family was too cute after watching it!
The air pirate ship was attacked by a military airship, and they entered the chaotic storm together, and there
It is the ancient civilization Laputa, which is the city of the sky!
At this time, Lu Xiaorui was not only attracted by the plot, but also shocked by the picture and imagination of this animation!
The real face peeped out from the clouds, in the eye of the storm, the island floating in the sky!
That picture is breathtakingly beautiful!
The island robots working in an orderly manner, the birds, squirrels, and clear water on the island, Balu and Xida were dumbfounded, and Lu Xiaorui was also dumbfounded!
I was still immersed in the progress of the relationship between the hero and heroine before, but now I have an idea in my heart. I just watched this scene, and the movie ticket was paid back!
As the plot progresses, in the animation, the picture of people and nature, technology and nature living in harmony, a kind of reflection on the plot of the work also emerges in the hearts of the audience!
The robots on the island present a flower to Cedar and Baloo when they arrive!
The squirrel climbs on the robot and plays music to tease the little animals!
In the subsequent plot, after holding Xida hostage in the city of sky, Muska manipulated various weapons in the city, and carried out a brutal massacre of the soldiers of the kingdom's army!
As a two-hour movie, after watching it now, Lu Xiaorui doesn't think it's long at all!
Although the plot of Laputa in the Sky is not too complicated and brain-intensive, it does not hinder its fun!
Especially the plot in the story, it has the meaning of reflecting reality!
But the most shocking thing in the whole work is Xida and Baloo. In order to prevent this terrible weapon from being controlled by Muska, with the heart of death, the two hold the key to control the city, the key that Xida has been wearing all the time. Gem, spoke the spell to disintegrate the castle in the sky!
"Barous!"
The castle in the sky is disintegrating, but the trees on the island are constantly rising into the sky under the influence of the stones. The two people who were rescued by the roots finally left here!
The air thieves got the treasure they wanted, while the hero and heroine left in a small airship!
That's the end of the story!
The theme song is playing again!
After watching Lu Xiaorui and a group of fans, subjectively speaking, she felt that the plot of this movie was simple, and it seemed nothing special!
But in terms of actual viewing experience
She wants to watch it again!
After reading Spirited Away, there is a slight sense of regret!
It's a pity that the hero and heroine Chihiro and Bailong still parted in the end!
But the city in the sky is indeed a lingering feeling! Part of it is the relationship between Baloo and Xida, but more of it is the thinking of the conflict between human technology and nature!
Excellent movies, and average movies right here!
The former will cause people to think about the plot, while the latter, after leaving the theater, they can't even remember what the plot is! I only know that I was very excited for the past two hours, but after watching it, I didn't feel touched at all!
Lu Xiaorui walked out of the theater, still emotionally affected by the plot of the city in the sky, and she let out a long breath when she saw the noon sun outside the glass window of the theater, the clear blue sky, and the peaceful city!
At this time, she looked at the promotional posters of the city of the sky and the posters of several other movies. She was planning to continue watching other movies, but hesitated for a while, and bought the movie ticket of the city of the sky, ready to start the second brush !
In fact, if you want to say how amazing a movie Laputa is, that's not enough. There is no such thing as the strongest and most powerful work in this world. It can only be said that a certain work is down-to-earth and has a large audience!
Sky City is a well-deserved classic in the eyes of many people who like the second dimension! After arriving at the plane of Longguo, all the second-dimensional actors will be able to understand the level of this work after watching it!
After watching the movie in the cinema today, many anime fans have almost the same mentality!
Obviously, I think the plot is very simple and the ending is also a happy end, but after leaving the theater, I can’t get my emotions out of the plot. I always think about the various plots in the movie, the follow-up of Xida and Balu, and the follow-up of Air Pirates , the follow-up to Laputa in the Sky, the conflict between technology and nature!
Although such emotions will gradually dissipate after a day or two!
But at least on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Castle in the Sky has exploded on various media channels!
The first wave of movie-watching fans scored 9.8, and the comments were all positive!
Whether the work is good or not depends on the audience after seeing it!
These competing works released during the Spring Festival are honestly remarkable, but in essence, they are still biased towards popcorn works!
Although Tianchen's investment was large, 70% of the funds were spent by actors! After the actual viewing effect, fans actually think that it can only be said to be okay, and it has nothing to do with good looks!
As for July, the top few movies, the love of the former male and female protagonists is pretentious, and it is a classic again. In the rain, pregnancy, breakup, abortion, and rape for the sake of abuse, a group of couples ran over to watch, and two hours later they walked out of the theater with no embarrassment. , the latter is definitely a very well-produced work among several films in the Spring Festival file! But because of the subject matter, the audience is not so wide, so the box office seems to be quite satisfactory!
As for the much-anticipated funny movie Ancestor Appearance! On the contrary, among the four competitors of Sky City, it has the highest evaluation! The score once approached nine point zero!
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone still likes to watch comedy movies!
On the first day of the Spring Festival movie box office, the country's total box office was 1.9 billion. Among them, the ancestors appeared, and the box office on the first day was 310 million! The pre-sale of Tianchen broke 200 million box office, and 390 million box office on the first day can only be said to be quite satisfactory! Peak and July are both 180 million levels!
But Castle in the Sky, ranked first in the film, and the box office on the first day was indeed worthy of the film, 460 million!
As soon as the results of the first day came out, the Longguo movie circle panicked!
To be precise, they are the top three companies in the Longguo film circle, Guangpeng, Liuhuang, Donghui
The three of them are the three pillars of Longguo's film industry. In the past ten years, basically no company's film works can compete with them!
But now, the works of the three companies are all on the scene, and all parties are also working hard to operate their own film works! Even so, it still didn't stop Laputa's rising trend, and this work still became the single-day box office champion on the first day of its release!
If we talk about the success of Spirited Away and Your Name, the industry can still say that these two works are lucky, and they have not encountered a work invested by a subsidiary company that is really tough in the film industry to compete with them, and they have picked up a bargain!
But now. Everyone in the Longguo film industry can see it!
Even the top companies in the industry seem to have found no countermeasures against the popularity of Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu!
Relying on the suppression of capital, people are not fighting alone, such a big company is there, holding billions of funds!
But with hard work, the five films in the Spring Festival, Laputa in the sky have a score of 9.8, which leads the pack, and the fan support rate and the second brush rate are ridiculously high!
In fact, whether it is Chu Yu or Zhao Qinyin, in the Longguo animation market, their appeal is even more outrageous than that of Zhou Xingc in the parallel world in the film industry! Zhou Xingc's new king of comedy has fallen so badly, the plot is so embarrassing, and there are so many plots that are refractory, but it can still have a box office of more than 500 million! Can you trust an ordinary director? Directors like Zhang Yim and Feng Xiaog are already the best in the parallel world Huaguo, but if the plot of the work is bad, it is still difficult for the movie box office to exceed 100 million! But Zhou Xingchi is different, as long as his movies are a little bit standard, the box office will go up to two or three billion! If you had changed the screenwriter and director of this movie to promote it, even if the plot was exactly the same, the box office would definitely not be so outrageous!
It can be said that with this level of popularity, normally there are only works with a box office of one billion, and it is normal to put their names on it and double it!
Their name itself is a big ip!
This is also the reason why I heard that The Sound of the Waves has a box office of more than 2 billion yuan! It's not Zhao Qinyin's screenwriter. It's not bad to have a box office of 500 million. After all, although the plot of this work is excellent, in fact, no one is willing to pay attention to the so-called excellent work created by an unknown screenwriter!
But now, while Chu Yu has this kind of appeal, the work he produced is still a classic work like Sky City
And this is Chu Yu's first film work. On the night of its release, it sparked heated discussions between Zhao Qinyin's fans and Chu Yu's fans!
Which one is better, Laputa in the Sky or Spirited Away?
It was only the first day of its release, and the attention and popularity this work has aroused far surpassed that of other movies released at the same time!
There will be a second update, but it will be later!
