The Japanese animated film "Suzubud Journey" was officially released in Chinese mainland (March 24)! Director Makoto Shinkai took Suzuya voice actor Naka Hara and Kusata voice actor Matsumura Hokuto to shoot a video to celebrate. Makoto Shinkai said, "Whether adults or children, whether they watch it together or by themselves, I believe they will enjoy this movie very much."
At the same time, Xinhai Cheng also presented exclusive signatures to Chinese audiences, "dedicated to everyone with courage".
"Suzuya Journey" mainly tells the story of Suzuya, a 17-year-old girl living in the countryside of Kyushu, Japan. He meets Kusanasa, a young man who embarks on a journey to find the "gate". Curious, Suzuya follows Kusata into the ruins of the mountain, where an ancient door stands quietly, as if it were the only remnant of the collapse. As if attracted by something, Suzuya stretched out her hand towards the door... Soon after, doors across Japan began to open one by one. If the door is not closed in time, the calamity that exists at the other end of the door will befall the present world. So under the guidance of the mysterious door, Suzuya embarked on a wonderful "closing the door".
Up to now, the mainland box office of "Lingbud Journey" has reached 172 million yuan! The first-day box office was 95.45 million yuan, which not only surpassed Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name." (76.2953 million yuan on the first day) also surpassed the box office results of "Doraemon: Nobita's Treasure Island" on the opening day (83.91 million yuan), becoming the box office champion on the opening day of Japanese movies! The number of performances on the first day reached 161,000, which also set a new record for the first day of cartoons in Chinese film history
In addition, the day before the release of "Journey to the Bell Bud", the total pre-sale box office exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming the 18th film with a total pre-sale box office of more than 100 million in the past 3 years, and it is also the second film with a total pre-sale box office of more than 100 million in non-important schedules (Spring Festival, New Year's Eve, etc.) in the past 3 years, and the last one was "Fast and Furious 9" released in May 2021 In short, the popularity of "Suzuya Journey" is very high! At present, the total box office forecast given by Maoyan is 687 million yuan. The reputation of "Journey to Lingbud" is also good, with a Douban score of 7.7 and more than 54,000 ratings.
In a behind-the-scenes documentary, Makoto Shinkai shared his original intention to commemorate the Great Tokyo Earthquake. I hope to share this film with young people who do not have this memory, disasters are not just earthquakes, we don't know when we will suddenly lose our daily lives, audiences who have not experienced earthquakes can also find emotional resonance points in the film, walk out of the theater with positive emotions, and gain the courage to face a new life.
