Although the new lan line has caused anime fans to quarrel, "Detective Conan: Crimson Bullets" has once again won over 100 million box office for the "Conan" series in the mainland film market.
On the day of its release on April 17, the latest theatrical version of the "Conan" series earned 71.79 million yuan, winning the top spot at the box office; the next day, the film fell by 45%, falling below 40 million in a single day, but still holding the top position at the box office with a cumulative score of 109 million yuan.
With a harvest of 109 million yuan two days before the opening of the painting, this Conan bullet basically equaled the total box office of "Detective Conan: The Executor of Zero" of 127 million yuan, and it is still possible to surpass the "Fist of Cyan" that created a new record in the domestic theater version of "Detective Conan", even if it cannot be successfully surpassed, the film has also raised the box office benchmark of the "Conan" series in China to 200 million.
In Japan, the film is even more imposing, in the case of the epidemic still exists, the first day box office reached 144% of "Fist of Cyan", it is entirely possible to surpass the "Fist of Cyan" accumulated 9.37 billion yen, becoming another historical anime that exceeds 10 billion yen.
In stark contrast to the booming box office of this veteran Japanese manga series, the film's Douban score has maintained an extremely stable level in recent years: "Sunflowers of Karma Fire" 6.0, "Pure Black Nightmare" 6.2, "Fist of Cyanosis" 5.9, "Zero Executioner" 5.8, "Bullet" 6.1.
Although it seems that this film has recently picked up its word-of-mouth, this is not the final score, and it is still a good chance to break the record of the lowest score of 5.8 points for "Zero Executioner".
But why is it that this old IP, which is not a good reputation, not only can always make money in China, but also the box office is still rising as a whole?
There seems to be only one truth—Conan is too capable of fighting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > more and more capable Conan, the more noisy the new Lan Koai Party</h1>
In Japan, no one can do the animated theatrical version before. Since 2014, the film has been the highest-grossing animated theatrical version for many consecutive years, and before the sudden rise of "Devil's Blade", the only thing that could compete with it was "Doraemon".
But at the same time as the soaring box office, it is not the rise of word-of-mouth, but the increasing number of voices that have collapsed the logic of the series' reasoning, indulging in big events, big scenes and action scenes, and even ignoring the sound of logic.
This theatrical version is obviously the series in recent years more and more able to play the style of the high continuation, the main battlefield of the film is still set outdoors, high intelligence, large scenes, strong action is still the main focus of the whole film, and the climax of the film, is when the 1000km/h maglev train rushed to tokyo's largest sports event venue, Akai Shuichi in a thousand guns, shot out the silver bullet, annihilated the criminals in one fell swoop.
But it is also in this Hollywood-style big-budget anime that leaves countless questions that make anime fans wonder: Why can a silver bullet from Nagoya to Tokyo a hundred miles away from Akai Shu shoot through so many cars? Why is it that even if you shoot through so many carriages, the bullet can still hit it in one hit?
Why can the maglev train stop at 1000 hours with a parachute?
Why newton's laws can't control Conan, Conan's skateboard with a speed of 80 kilometers per hour is a skateboard or a moving car, and whether to fine it on the highway?
Why is it that a group of FBI and professionals are under the command of several laymen throughout the whole process? The decent is all carried by Conan and the Akai family, why does the villain black organization seem to come and go?
Well, even if you don't dwell on the reasoning thing, anyway, it seems that the choreographer has given up, and it is good to bump cp, after all, "Xiaolan called Xinyi" directly on the 8th place on the Weibo hot search list.
As a result, in the ending song, Shinichi lies in Xiaolan's arms and squeezes his eyebrows at Ash Yuan, next to the first heroine of this episode, Shi Liang, and I and the audience are shocked: Akai Shuichi borrows from our anti-Japanese drama, even if Conan also comes to learn from our Wei Xiaobao?
However, after watching the film, my biggest question is still: the logic and emotional line of the film have collapsed into this, why does the Conan theatrical version of the word of mouth not rise, the box office soared? How exactly?
The answer is --
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Conan is no longer the Conan of the year</h1>
For many fans and domestic audiences, what we are most familiar with and regard as classics is the first 250 episodes of TV animation.
Director - Kodama Kaneji.
And the first seven theatrical versions with a Douban score of 8.5-9 points - "Detonating the Skyscraper", "The 14th Goal", "The Magician at the End of the Century", "The Assassin in the Pupil", "Countdown to Heaven", "The Undead on Baker Street", and "The Crossroads of the Labyrinth".
Whether it is the theatrical version of the god work "The Undead of Baker Street" or the "Snow Mountain Killing Incident" and "Library Murder Incident" in the TV animation, it can be seen that the soul of Kodama Kenji's style is two words - reasoning, and is the most classic Benge reasoning.
Relying on the tightly sewn reasoning story, solid characters, and delicate feelings to impress the audience, the action scene is only an auxiliary.
Subsequently, the last seven theatrical versions supervised by Yaichiro Yamamoto basically continued the style of Kodama Kanji, and the screenwriter was still Kodama Kaneji's old partner Kazunari Koonei, whose version looked more like an extended version of the TV anime, and the reasoning fans were still very satisfied, but the reputation was not as good as kodama Kanji, and the commercial performance was also flat.
Changing the entire series was the director of Shizuno Kofumi and "Sogang" screenwriter Takeharu Sakurai.
Starting with Shizuno's first "15 Minutes of Silence," in his own words, "Reasoning, love, and action are the three elements that cannot be missing in Conan's work." But in fact, under his helm, Hollywood-style multi-camera shooting was brought to the Japanese animation industry.
The new tendency of visuality is constantly evolving in this type of reasoning. Previous Conan films were often traditional closed space reasoning cases, while the Conan films he took over added a large number of action scenes, and these more explosive action scenes were destined to weaken and simplify the case reasoning part of the story.
And the "Ke Xue" that does not conform to modern physics is also becoming more and more arrogant, and Conan's football and skateboarding have begun to become omnipotent and heavenly, and in the recent part, a magical bullet has been run.
It was also from his takeover that the traditional Shinran line was destroyed, the audience liked which pair of sugar, the strange thief Kidd could use Shinichi's body to date Xiaolan Hai, and "Pure Black Nightmare" sold a fire of Amuro toru and Shuichi Akai CP.
In the last two theatrical versions, the director has been replaced by Tomoka Nagaoka, but the style still continues Shizuno's Confucius, and Shizuno's old partner Sakurai Takeharu is still the main screenwriter.
In the words of the famous screenwriter, the Conan series "is definitely not just for kids." The theatrical version of the increasingly grand pattern, the explosive action car chase scene, the complex story line and the relationship between the characters, make it more and more adult-oriented.
But what the old Ke fans don't understand is why adults mean that they can gradually violate the core of reasoning, and let the characters collapse from time to time.
In the old version of Conan, Maoriland was a super strong female high school student who could enter the white blade with her bare hands, and Conan relied on her for protection every time.
In the theatrical version, she has become a tool person who will only cry to Xinyi for help, no wonder the old fans want to scold people when they see it.
However, these changes in Conan films, although criticized by mystery fans, were widely accepted by ordinary audiences and instead received super high box office.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > word of mouth has been declining, why is the box office more and more able to hit? </h1>
In Japan, Conan's first theatrical version of Detective Conan: Detonating the Skyscraper in 1997 grossed 1.1 billion yen. For the next decade or so, the local score of the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" stabilized at between 2 billion and 3 billion yen.
However, since Shizuno Takeover, the local revenue of "Detective Conan" has jumped from more than 3 billion yen to more than 9 billion yen of "Zero Executioner", and to the last two films, there is hope of impacting 10 billion yen.
It is precisely because of this powerful local series that when Marvel's "Avengers" series swept the world, it has never been able to conquer the Japanese market.
The popular character Toru Amuro has made female audiences want to become "Toru Amuro's Woman". The campaign "Make Amuro a 10 Billion Man" among fans greatly boosted the film's box office.
However, with the local box office of "Fist of Cyan" reaching 9.27 billion yen, although it has reached the goal of eight consecutive years of increase, the local box office of the "Detective Conan" series has basically reached the ceiling.
The mainland market has begun to become a new growth point for this old series.
After "Detective Conan: Fifteen Minutes of Silence" won 27.69 million at the box office in 2011, "Sunflowers of Karma Fire" exceeded 80 million yuan in 2015, and "The Executor of Zero" pushed the series box office to 127 million, opening the billion yuan mark for the first time. "Fist of Cyanosis" broke through 200 million yuan, while "Crimson Bullets", which continued to collapse in word-of-mouth, continued to trend the box office of 200 million+.
On the one hand, the film's reasoning elements are too few, the details cannot withstand scrutiny, the underestimation of the audience's IQ and the delay in advancing the main line of the "old thief of Qingshan" have caused group ridicule, on the other hand, more and more fans are paying for the film. Why, exactly?
The first is the huge conan audience base.
Conan is popular, child-friendly, and loved by female audiences; at the same time, he has a part of the die-hard fans of reasoning.
Looking at the douban rating of the film, the TV version of the anime has a total of 129,000 people participating in the review, compared with only 100,000 people in "Naruto", which is second only to "One Piece" with 140,000 people in the big IP.
The theatrical version also ranked among the top scorers. The 168,000 ratings of "The Undead on Baker Street" are a pyramidal performance.
In addition, although the film's reasoning has weakened, it pays more attention to the replacement of scenes, brings the story stage to cruise ships, subways and other scenes, or travels to Kyoto and Singapore, and constantly creates new popular characters, which has proved to attract more ordinary audiences.
Even if the latest one has a magical bullet logic that has been criticized, the applause of "Akai Shuichi's gun is too handsome to come out after watching it, the strongest sniper szd" is endless.
Although the protagonist's love line is controversial, the controversy also creates attention, objectively allowing more ordinary audiences to enter the theater.
When the familiar line "There is only one truth" rings at the beginning of each theatrical version, it has long since left the enhanced version of TV animation and become a superhero blockbuster that has built a collection of many characters in the style of "Avengers", the focus of the film has long been not on reasoning, but on the popular character assembly + new Lanke lamentation sugar.
So in a sense, Conan is no longer the most reasoning child of the year, under the care of the generations of mainland audiences who watched Conan grow up, he is not only still the coolest superhero in the Conan universe, but also the most box office appeal superhero in the mainland film market.
So how about the reputation of the word of mouth all the way down, this part of the scolding audience, waiting for the next new theatrical version to come out, is not obedient to enter the theater.
"The beloved have no fear", who can not love Conan?
