Last year, a film called "Your Name." Conquered the Chinese market and surpassed Spirited Away at the global box office, becoming the most gold-sucking animated film in the Great 11th District. But "Your Name." The journey of "" is not over, April 7 will officially land on the North American screen, this is the message of milk? But even if you can milk, the Japanese film industry has not been able to conquer the North American market again in the past 20 years!
Makoto Shinkai and Your Name. 》
The United States is not like the Heavenly Dynasty, people have their own Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks and other big-name production companies, in their film culture sweeping the world, while being able to get a piece of the pie on other people's turf, how difficult is it? The animation industry in the big 11 district is good, but it is always the ones that can be recognized by the United States and get a good box office.
For the first two chairs of The Japanese manga movies in North America - not Gong Lao, not Cheng Brother! This honor is the childhood memories of our generation: Pokemon Theater Edition 1 Super Dream Strikes Back and Pokemon Theater Edition 2 Lokia's Explosive Birthday! The former set a box office record of $85 million, the latter followed with $43 million, Gong Lao could only be on the fifth list with "Goldfish on the Cliff", only "Super Dream Counterattack" 1/5 of the North American box office, Spirited Away is only its 1/8 data.
"Goldfish on the Cliff" is only the fifth highest-grossing Japanese animated film in North America
The significance of Kunihiko Yuyama's Pokémon (Pokémon) and the North American anime market has become an insurmountable barrier for later Japanese works. But since 1999-03, the 5 Pokémon series theatrical versions, the results in the North American market are also not as good as a year, the first part of 85 million US dollars to the fifth part of 740,000 US dollars, want to achieve results in the North American market, obviously far more difficult than the Chinese market!
1 and 2 japanese anime films in North America
"Super Dream Counterattack" and "Lokia Burst" were released in Japan in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and landed in the North American market in 1999 and 000. In the same period, in 1999, there was a siege between "Toy Story 2" and "Taishan 1", the former north American box office of 246 million, the latter North American box office of 171 million; in 2000, "Dinosaur" was released, also in North America with a box office of 138 million. As for today, "Frozen" has swept the world film market, Japanese animation films are more stable in the domestic market, and as for the journey to North America, it is more of a "violent death" hastily ended.
Phantom Elves: Dream
The first theatrical version is the trio that the older generation is most familiar with: Xiao Zhi, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Gang. It tells the dream of the phantom elf, and the super dream of the strongest elf in the artificial. For Super Dream, how much this Pokémon is naturally not to be divided, leaving the only master ball in order to get this Pokémon, as for the Lightning Bird, Flame Bird, Frozen Bird, TM relies on the garbage ball brush face to catch, eager for several hours of "repetitive labor", and the Three Sacred Birds + Super Dream + Fast Dragon is a generation of yelterine versions of the top lineup of invincible hands all over the world.
In the theatrical version of the animation, mainly about the ambition of Super Dream's "pirated counterattack", Super Dream issued an invitation letter inviting the then recognized elf trainer to duel him, hoping to complete its dream of piracy dominating the world. Dream follows Team Rocket to New Island, where he ends up in a showdown with Super Dream. The rest of the elves fight against their own copies, and a war between genuine vs pirates begins, with only the meows understanding each other and looking at the moon together (if it were not for team rockets, meow's IQ would have been among the elves).
The tears of all the elves awaken miracles
When the elves fought hard, Xiao Zhi, who couldn't bear to watch, rushed into the energy wave of the super dream and the dream, and was instantly petrified by the two energies. All the genuine pirate elves shed tears for Xiao Zhi. The elf's tears called for a miracle, and Xiao Zhi woke up again. The super dream of epiphany that "whether they are genuine or pirated, they are all creatures", and finally together with the dream, led the pirate elves to find a paradise to live.
In the second theatrical version, without Xiao Gang's male second role, nor the beautiful policewoman and nurse sister, Fulura's character is not lost to Miss Joy in the first part. Xiao Zhi continues to play the role of "savior", obtaining the treasure of the Three Sacred Birds, letting Friula play the flute to calm the resentment in the hearts of the Three Sacred Birds, and the Rocket Team gives up capturing Pikachu in front of Dayi, and it is rare to be a good person.
At the same time, Dr. Ohki's analysis of the interaction of the three sacred birds: the flame bird and the frozen bird create the ocean current, and the lightning bird makes the ocean current produce protein (early life), which is the analysis of the creation cause of the Pokémon world? Is this explanation of the Three Sacred Birds analogous to Pangu Kaitian, nuwa creating man? Worthy of being called the Three Sacred Birds of God, human beings are also from their own handwriting? Anyway, it's a matter of knowing pokémon's worldview.
The Three Sacred Birds duel against Lokia, and the Three Sacred Birds are tortured by the powerless airship, allowing Lokia to completely destroy one skill. And this battle has attracted Pokémon from all over the world to gather near the island of Asia Minor, just to avoid the destruction of the world? In the end, it is nothing more than watching blockbusters for free, with more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and eventually becomes a person who cooperates with the god of Lokia.
However, Xiao Zhi is deeply trapped in Asia Island, and Xiao Zhi's mother goes to find Dr. Ohki... Who is Pokemon's unsolved mystery, The Little Wise Father? Xiao Zhi's mother and Dr. Ohki are so close, accidents always look for the doctor, and always travel around the world with the doctor, the relationship between the doctor and Xiao Zhi's mother, it is really difficult to guess.
The first kiss of this kind of thing...
Next up is Your Name. " will land in the North American market, is it to refresh the Record of Area 11 Animation in the North American Market, or to break the sand again? Everything is difficult to say, but "Pokemon" dominates the Japanese comic theater version at the forefront of the North American box office, so that when the follow-up works impact the North American market, they should calm down and think about it: What kind of works can impress lao Mei?
