On the evening of September 15, a surprising news came from the Internet--- "Kuiba" released a movie trailer!
Hearing this news, all the friends who have been waiting for 7 years think that the "Kuiba 4" that they have been thinking about day and night is finally coming.
But when everyone watched the trailer, they were all confused--- how is this a live-action movie?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >01</h1>
The title of the film is set as "Kuiba's Yumi Mania", jointly produced by Penguin Pictures and Qingqingshu, and is scheduled to be launched on September 22, yes, it will be played online, skip the cinema directly.
As soon as the title came out, everyone also knew that this "Kuiba" movie is a story with Yumi mania as the protagonist, and from the content of the trailer, the plot of the film will be placed in the enmity between Yu Mi Mania and the four generations of KuiBa Fans.
This past experience is only replayed in part of the second part of the "Kuiba No Battle YuanyangJie", and does not officially tell this history, so the film is also a pit for the worldview of the animation, and by the way, enrich the human image of Yumi and Milin.
Speaking of the picture information in the movie trailer, the beginning of the trailer already shows a familiar style of costume fantasy.
When the picture reveals the appearance of this world, it is unsurprisingly the setting of the costume drama.
Then the live-action style of Yumi crazy debuted, the crew used a snack this time, knowing that the hairstyle in the animated version seemed too non-mainstream in reality, so they tied their hair up.
"Wen Yao is divided into people, heroes, generals, and kings, and people use the rank of Wen Yao to symbolize status and strength, and the only way to obtain Wen Yao is --- is to defeat Kuiba."
There is a slot in this simple narration, and the animation setting shows that the status symbol of The Emblem is granted by the gods.
However, the movie here directly binds Wen Yao and Kuiba to the relationship, forcibly implicates yumi mania and the association between Kuiba and Kuiba and Wei Yao, and also makes the world boss who destroys the world into a world boss that full-service players participate in.
And the Kuiba in the trailer is also difficult to say, and the screen is full of the classic fifty cent special effects.
Needless to say, the content of the following trailer is nothing more than the plot of Yumi's frenzy declaring war on Kuiba, and from the perspective of the entire trailer, everyone can see that Yumima and the huge Kuiba are fighting, and there is no emotional communication between the two at all.
The painting style and settings of various magic changes instantly disappointed many friends who had been chasing "Kuiba" for a long time.
The most ironic thing is that the trailer also reads "Kuiba ten years, the blood is rekindled!" "The declaration, the result of the film has not been released, a trailer will be everyone just ignited the excitement of all the pouring out--- the tenth anniversary you will give me such a thing?
For the speculation of the live-action movie trailer of "Kuiba", some things have long been expected by the audience, because as long as the three words "live-action version" are brought, it is a proper destruction of the original work.
This is where everyone hates the live-action version the most, the plot is not restored, the special effects are not fine enough, the film's casting is also criticized, the key is that there are a lot of people throwing money to do, a lot of people chasing after it, it's absolutely amazing!
Especially the most wanted to see "Kuiba 4" has not yet come out, the whole magic reformed live-action movie out of the waste of audience feelings, purely is the consumption of IP value, hand-in-hand smashing the signature word of mouth, more angry.
However, in addition to the anger of netizens, there is another way to say that Qingqingshu is trying to raise money for himself to shoot "Kuiba 4".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" >02. </h1>
Since the release of the third "Rise of the God of War" in the 2014 "Kuiba" series of movies, the producer Qingqingshu has temporarily announced that the fourth film has been indefinitely postponed.
The main reason is inseparable from the film's continuous losses, although "Kuiba" has been widely praised by domestic anime fans since its release.
However, good word of mouth does not equal good box office, and the total revenue of the three "Kuiba" does not exceed 60 million yuan.
In addition to factors such as the lack of publicity in the early stage and the low popularity, there are also financial problems caused by the high cost of film production, which further makes Qingqingshu's situation worse and worse, and finally has to suspend the follow-up film production of "Kuiba".
In June 2017, Qingqingshu launched a crowdfunding campaign with a target amount of 1 million yuan online, and said that if it succeeded, they would be able to restart the production of "Kuiba 4" in August.
At that time, the result was also unexpected and reasonable, the amount of this crowdfunding was as high as 3.78 million yuan, which was three times the original planned amount, which shows how high the enthusiasm of the small partners for "Kuiba 4" is.
There is no doubt that this crowdfunding is definitely a big success, and it can also strengthen Qingqingshu's determination to continue to make.
Unexpectedly, after this round of crowdfunding, "Kuiba" fell silent again, and this wait was another four years, until this live-action movie appeared.
You may want to wait until the end is such an "unaired word of mouth has collapsed" movie, think that this crowdfunding money is in vain?
In fact, if you are a small partner who has some understanding of the film industry, you should also know that a few million is simply not enough to make a qualified movie.
At the beginning, the production cost of the first "Kuiba No. 100,000 Fire" was as high as 13.5 million, and although the box office of the subsequent two films was tens of millions, it still could not be returned, indicating that the production cost of the follow-up "Kuiba" movie became more and more expensive.
High investment in exchange for not high return costs, which makes Qingqingshu's capital costs stretched.
Secondly, Qingqingshu also knows that although the box office is dismal, everyone likes "Kuiba" and looks forward to the early release of "Kuiba 4", since it must be worthy of the expectations of fans, then this animation production process can not be ambiguous.
However, this bit of crowdfunding money is only a drop in the bucket, and it is still far from the cost of the film, even if you "use love to generate electricity", you must first ensure that you will not starve to death.
So what to do in the end, can only be to put the copyright out first, let a large company come forward to invest in making another movie to make enough money, just now is not very happy to change the real people? Then go straight to making a live-action movie.
Borrowing the gimmick of the film to raise enough money for himself to make "Kuiba 4" may be a big move under Qingqingshu.
Although these are just everyone's speculation, but this statement is also very factual, not to mention that as an old fan for many years, everyone believes that Qingqingshu will not wantonly smash the reputation of his own IP in order to make just the right money.
It's just that whether this move can be played correctly or not is really difficult to say...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112" >03</h1>
The birth of "Kuiba" can be said to be untimely, because at that time, the prejudice and misunderstanding of domestic animation by domestic audiences was still very deep.
In addition, the audience of national comics is far less than that of Japanese comics, which is why it obviously has such a good reputation and praise, but it cannot get the return of matching it, and it cannot cause a phenomenon-level sensation like "Great Sage" and "Nezha".
Now that the door to the revival of the national comic has been knocked open, whether the "Kuiba" and The Green Tree, which have been silent for many years, can take this opportunity to glow the "second spring", which is also worthy of the attention of every national comic fan.
In short, no matter how well this live-action film performs, we hope that --- this will not be the end of it!
