won the box office championship for 3 consecutive days, the box office of "Slam Dunk" easily exceeded 350 million yuan, and nearly 80,000 people on Douban scored a high score of 9.1, which shows the general "true love" of mainland audiences. According to statistics, as many as 535,200 people watched the early morning premiere in theaters across the country on the 20th, helping it to enter the box office just after 0:00. It was this first wave of audience evaluation that supported the movie's reputation. At present, the media predicts that the final box office of "Slam Dunk" will break 800 million, or break the record of "the first box office of imported animated films". Some people will say, "Feelings are so easy to sell." But Brother Pi wants to say that the movie version of "Slam Dunk" sells more than just feelings.
Remember when you first saw the Slam Dunk comics, or saw the Slam Dunk anime on TV? In the 90s, as the NBA officially sent a game highlight from the week to Beijing for free, mainland TV stations began to broadcast NBA games, and almost at the same time, the "Slam Dunk" anime was also familiar to mainland teenagers through different channels. Among the two major balls, basketball is easier to spread and promote in China than football due to the advantages of small space and strong confrontation, and the basketball-themed "Slam Dunk" naturally quickly became popular among young people.
"Slam Dunk" was created by manga artist Yuhiko Inoue in 1990 and was serialized from the 42nd issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump". Although basketball was relatively niche in Japan at that time, the serialization of "Slam Dunk" carried a wave of basketball fever. At the same time as the manga was a hit, the TV version of the anime of the same name produced by Toei Co., Ltd. began broadcasting on TV Asahi in Japan on October 16, 1993. The animation has also made the IP of "Slam Dunk" quickly become one of the favorite sports anime of Japanese teenagers.
By 1995, "Slam Dunk" and Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" had become two of the most popular manga on Weekly Shonen Jump, with 34 issues selling a record of 6.53 million copies in a single issue. To this day, Slam Dunk still ranks sixth in total sales in Japanese manga, and with only 31 volumes, it is the shortest of the first six titles. Unlike the "Dragon Ball" series, which has been "endless" until now, "Slam Dunk" knows how to accept it when it is good. In 1996, in the No. 27 issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump", he withstood the tremendous pressure from the publisher and completed this work at a time when sales were strong. Inoue's operation is understandable, because basketball is very niche in Japan after all, and there were very few basketball stars in Japan at that time, unlike football, which was able to play all the way to the World Cup. The style of "Slam Dunk" is already realistic, and Inoue Yuhiko doesn't want his high school students to "make it to the NBA", so he chooses to end it in the "most glorious moment".
But the comics can be decided by the author himself, and the animation of the same name is not the author's final say. In 1996, the TV version of the animation of "Slam Dunk" also came to the "National Competition", according to the plot of the comics, the protagonist Xiangbei team only won the two teams of Fengyu and the King of the Mountains in the national competition. Due to the severe injury of the queen of the mountain after the narrow victory, Xiangbei finally suffered a heavy defeat to Aihe College and failed to advance to the next round. At that time, Toei didn't want the "Slam Dunk" animation to end here, because if it only played two games, it would only be twenty or thirty episodes long to make an animation, and the content was far from enough. Toei hopes that the animation can break away from the plot of the manga, let the Xiangbei team go all the way to the finals, and let the Sakuragi five realize their dream of "dominating the country". Inoue Yuhiko was unwilling to compromise, and finally the talks fell apart, and the TV version of the animation of "Slam Dunk" ended in episode 101, frozen in the train station where the Xiangbei team went to the national competition.
In the past 20 years, fans who like "Slam Dunk" can only flip through the comics again and again, imagining what the two games of Xiangbei VS Fengyu and Xiangbei VS Mountain King will look like in the animation. Until January 7, 2021, Inoue Yuhiko announced on his social account that the movie version of "Slam Dunk" would be put into production, which made the whole network boil. And the movie was released on December 3, 2022
was the first to be released in Japan, winning a box office result of 13 billion yen, and even winning the first place in the history of Japanese comics in Japan and South Korea, which also made the expectations of mainland audiences who failed to see the movie rise to the top. Therefore, it is not surprising that once "Slam Dunk" was released in the mainland, the box office was so hot. Because this movie carries not only feelings, but also the realization of anime fans' dreams of film and television for the "National Competition". We've waited too long for this movie, and that's why the movie version of "Slam Dunk" is a must-see!
Speaking of this, some netizens may ask: "Will the picture of 'three shades and two' collapse?" "How much of the Xiangbei VS Mountain King match was presented? Did all those famous scenes appear? "Is it uncomfortable to unfold the story from the perspective of Miyagi as the protagonist?" Since the trailer was released, netizens have known that the movie uses the currently popular "three shades two" technology, which is to render the 3D modeled picture into a 2D painting style.
Compared with the previous TV version of the animation,The line expressiveness of the pure 2D painting style,The flat lines of the characters' faces and the grayish coloring,All make it difficult for old fans who are familiar with the TV version of the animation picture,It's not easy to accept。 Therefore, old fans once complained that the picture of the movie "ruined the classics". But what Brother Pi wants to say is that the original TV version of the anime was originally created by Toei's artist, based on the original manga by Yuhiko Inoue. Although the style of painting is close to the characters of Inoue Yuhiko, there are still great differences, especially the face is more handsome, but it lacks the rough texture of the original.
Today's movie painting style is closer to the style of Inoue's original work, and the characters have become tougher, just like the characters in the manga are moving. Therefore, after the opening of the movie, the audience will quickly enter the character and find the feeling when reading the manga, so it is not that the painting style is not as bad as the TV version of the anime.
Let's talk about the picture of "three shades and two". The production team first found a group of basketball players, captured their dribbling movements through motion capture, collected a large number of shots, edited them, and finally made them into CG animations. And these storyboard shots, the last piece of splicing and matching, restored the classic pictures of the king of the comics. That's why we can see the characters in the movie in 2D, who can move as smoothly as players in NBA basketball. The pictures of passes, steals, three-pointers, and dunks are as real as real action.
These images can't be seen in the TV version of the animation, and they can't be expressed in the TV version of the animation due to technical limitations. So how much of this game is presented in the movie, and do all those "famous scenes" appear? Brother Pi can play a guaranteed ticket, and you basically have everything you want to see.
