Chapter 496 Annie Award and Berlin nomination, Guan Ling’s direct bombardment!
Guan Ling was indeed expecting the Japanese to be tough.
But even Guan Ling did not have sufficient expectations for the extent to which the Japanese could break through the defense.
Actually, on the first day, only some Japanese people saw the movie. Most people knew the rough plot, so they criticized it on the Internet, saying they didn't want the movie to become popular. .
Their idea is also very simple. This movie is likely to affect Japan's international image.
But it's of no use. They can't control the situation of this movie in China,
so they can only hope helplessly.
If Guan Ling knew their thoughts, he would definitely sneer at them. Sinners still care about their image?
But then the development speed of this movie indeed exceeded Guan Ling's own expectations.
During this period, anti-Japanese sentiment was rising in China due to the island issue.
The promotion of "The Thirteen Hairpins" started early, and in the end, it was also used as a wedding dress for "The Wind Rises".
Zhang Yimou thought that the two would complement each other.
But if a new theme animation is placed here, people are still more likely to accept cartoons.
What's more, this movie itself has a lot of off-site news, especially the comparison with Japanese movies, which adds to people's expectations for the movie!
During the day, Chinese and Japanese movie fans cheered for their country’s animation and bought tickets to support it.
Many people also want to see what the final results of these two animated films will be.
But in fact, the Chinese audience probably had some expectations, because it is difficult for them to buy tickets.
As expected.
After the box office was released on the first day of release, "The Wind Rises" grossed 110 million at the box office in the Mainland.
In an instant, there was a bloodbath in the Chinese market.
Zhang Yimou couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh, and Xu Hark couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
For a time, the Chinese film industry was completely shocked and speechless.
"Guan Ling is so ruthless. He made a cartoon and it became the number one box office in the Lunar New Year."
No one thought that Guan Ling's box office exceeded 100 million on the first day, and the subsequent box office would change. pull.
Others may have this problem, but Guan Ling most likely will not encounter such a Waterloo.
It would be good if it doesn't go against the trend. People really don't dare to expect that Guan Ling will cause this movie to collapse like a slide due to other problems!
The next day, the circle of friends was also flooded with "cheers" on weekday mornings!
"The hope of domestic animation! The box office of Guan Ling's "The Wind Rises" exceeded 110 million on its first day!"
"A battle of dignity! Maybe Chinese animation will rise because of this?!"< br>
“Guan Ling is a real cow Damn, "The Wind Rises" is really awesome, is it really awesome! The Japanese are really stubborn. If this movie is really going to be screened in a global film festival as Guan Ling said, I wouldn't even think of Japan. How ugly people’s faces will be!”
"Highly recommended. I watched Guan Ling's new movie yesterday. This cartoon is worth watching for everyone, whether adults or children!"
"Announced by Xinwen Network, the premiere was the first of its kind on a movie channel The movie did not live up to the expectations of his superiors!"
Countless positive reviews were revealed on major portals.
When many people see news in Moments or online, their first reaction is some shock and surprise!
“Is this animated movie popular?”
Although the news of this cartoon has attracted the attention of many in the industry or fans, for the vast majority of Chinese people, the radiation coverage is not specific enough, but now, many people have learned about this movie.
Of course I also learned the story behind this movie!
In a certain family, a father looked at his child. This morning he saw his child's circle of friends, and he was quite curious.
"Son, is that movie you mentioned really so good?"
The child was a little stunned. He asked his girlfriend to go out to watch a movie yesterday, and then he realized that he forgot to block it. Dad.
But what shocked him even more was that the first thing his father asked about was not his girlfriend, but this movie.
Surprised, but he still nodded decisively: "It looks good, it looks good."
Then he said a sentence to his father, four of which made his father Suddenly I became interested in watching cartoons.
“Among Chinese cartoons, it can be said to be unprecedented!”
……
And soon, more people learned about the background behind this incident.
Whether it was the original invincibility of "Inception", the Japanese saying that Guan Ling plagiarized the story, or Guan Ling's press conference angrily criticized Japan, and then at the Venice International Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in the world He directly said that he wanted to make an animated movie about the confrontation!
Everything is full of passion!
All of this is consistent with the logic behind "Naruto" and "One Piece", which are now the favorites of Chinese movie fans and audiences.
People like to read these comics and animations, isn’t it because of their passion?
Moreover, these have already swept the student body of Huaxia.
Take "Naruto" as an example.
In 2011, Baidu once made a list of "Top Ten Time Killers". The so-called "Time Killer" refers to It’s the time you spend on it.
In the end, "Naruto" surpassed many popular games and software and ranked third. The second place was QQ, and the first place was Weibo!
It can be said to be the most popular anime in China!
But now, Guan Ling pointed his sword at them!
And the first sword completely exuded boundless sword energy!
Completely silence those who have been complaining about Chinese animation and regard Japanese animation as the true meaning of life!
For a time, many Chinese movie fans began to criticize Japanese animated movies.
“Although I haven’t found the resources for your movie yet, I believe that with Guan’s high box office performance, your little Japan will most likely only be able to eat Guan’s exhaust.”
"I checked the release records of Japanese animated films over the years. The box office of 110 million on the first day can be called the ancestral achievement of your Japanese animated films. Are you calling it again now?!"
"There is always a strong wind, Slap you Margaery!”
“Director Guan has something. After holding back for so long, in the end he punched the opponent directly, knocking him to the ground! "
At the same time, about "Yu Meiren" News related to "Slopes in Bloom" have also begun to be reproduced in the mainland by some media.
“The Hillside with Poppies Blooming has achieved good results in Japan, with a box office of 21 million yuan on its first day. It won the first day box office championship in Japan after its release!”
I have to say that Ghibli still has a strong appeal in Japan. The names of Goro Miyazaki and Hayao Miyazaki are also topics that Japanese animation cannot get around.
Just when the Japanese were excited.
The achievements of Chinese animated films have completely poured cold water on the Japanese.
When the Chinese box office spread to Japan, various Japanese comments were once again carried back to the mainland.
“Rely on the number of people to compare with the box office? Why not compare the attendance rate.”
"Although I don't want to mention it, in China, the attendance rate of "The Wind Rises" is as high as 81.6%, while Japan's "Poppy Poppies" only has 62.7%..."
There are honest people in Japan too, check it out He got the data and slapped the guy above him in the face.
“An animation that relies on the national sentiment of hatred against Japan to gain box office, the Chinese people will also do these things, and they will not do anything with real swords and guns. Ours is a comedy, and a comedy can do it. Winning such a high box office, doesn’t it show how good our animation is?”
“We have entered a period of stagnation at the box office due to the earthquake. And otherwise, let’s compare the style of painting, the soundtrack, and the beauty of the story itself. We have elegant music, warm images, beautiful youth, and a touch of love. This is love, not hatred. Phenomenon translates into box office success! ”
“We are pure love, untainted by any impurities”
These comments made the domestic community laugh. "I thought the Koreans were tough, but I didn't expect the Japanese to be tougher."
"After the United States threw two missiles at Japan, people found no signs of life in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I just saw a few hundred Thousands of mouths that haven’t melted yet.”
“If you break the defense, you’ll lose. Why make people laugh like this!”
“In a small place, Yelang is arrogant and stupid. Add laughter!”
The Japanese have been working hard to maintain something until the resource version of this movie was finally spread to Japan from Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places.
Soon, the Japanese became quiet.
Because those of them with a little bit of brain suddenly discovered that "The Wind Rises" also has very good animation effects. Whether it is the pictures, the dialogues, or the progression of emotions, it has a Japanese cartoon feel. breath.
Even worse!
Their box office cannot compare, and the things they want to compare cannot be suppressed at all, and even some details are even incomparable.
For example, animation capture, Japan's is more two-dimensional, while China's is more three-dimensional.
A well-known Japanese film critic V gave this evaluation after watching the movie:
“The Chinese used what Japan is best at, and what the Chinese are best at, defeated Japanese animated movies..."
But Japanese fans are still stubborn.
There is no information between the two countries. You scold you, I scold mine, and we are not very good at forming physics. wipe out.
There is really no need to be convinced.
No one expected it.
These levels of defense breaking are just a piece of cake.
But at this moment, everyone’s shock was limited to the box office.
But Guan Ling is planning something else!
...
For several days, the box office of "The Wind Rises" has maintained a performance of more than 100 million in a single day.
"Even if the Wind Rises" continues to create miracles!
As public opinion exploded, three days later, even with the continued working hours, the box office occasionally dropped, but it basically maintained a box office performance of more than 80 million.
After the first week's box office, the movie's box office has reached 470 million.
The Japanese no longer want to compare data at this moment.
Even regarding the quality of the movie, they began to consider him left and right.
In their hearts, they actually hoped that this matter would be over completely.
Studio Ghibli.
Miyazaki Hayao looked at the high-definition version of "The Wind Rises" he got back from China. He watched it from beginning to end several times and fell into deep emotions.
This story was so similar to an idea he wanted to do.
In the middle of a war, a man drifts with the tide and wants to build an airplane.
The protagonist he originally thought was Jiro Hakugo.
What a coincidence, the other party’s protagonist’s name is Gu Er.
At a certain moment, Hayao Miyazaki was completely silent.
The whole room was in a state where you could hear a pin drop!
He suddenly realized that his idea was wrong. Even though some of the routines in his and Guan Ling's movies were very similar, if he really made it, he wouldn't even be able to convince himself.
He is anti-war at heart, and he has always thought so.
But he himself couldn’t even figure out whether he was anti-war or anti-war and defeated.
He was holding the script of "The Wind Rises" in his hand. Although it was not finished yet, the general plot was already in his mind.
Miyazaki looked up at the ceiling.
I was speechless for a moment.
The protagonist he originally wanted to write took airplanes as the true meaning of his life dream! But at this moment, in front of Gu Er, he is so powerless.
It is just to prevent invasion!
And if he really filmed the deeds of Kogotsujiro, what kind of dream does Kogotsujiro, an aircraft designer like an executioner, represent?
With dreams of blood and sin?
What is his reason? patriotic? Will patriotism be engraved in the story of invading others?
He didn't know why Guan Ling and his ideas were so similar, but their positions were different.
The idea of finding a close friend rose from his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was not against the defeat of the movie, but against the war.
This movie really shouldn't have been made by him. It would appear that he is hypocritical, that he does not respect the Chinese people, and that he does not respect life.
No matter what emotions he expresses in it, it is more like a A person who has done something wrong looks down from above.
Gu Er, on the other hand, is the strong grass in the strong wind. The story described with his mouth is the real anti-war.
I will always remember what you have done.
So you must also remember what you have done until it changes, until as time goes by, these things turn into history and disappear in the long time and space!
Otherwise, war may still come!
He wanted the Japanese to see the movie.
So he had to do something.
The next day, even under the obstruction of Makoto Shinkai and Goro Miyazaki,
Miyazaki still recommended the movie "The Wind Rises" to the Japanese audience. ,
Hayao Miyazaki's comment was:
"May the world be filled with peace, even if Japan is destroyed."
Then he announced that this is the end of the story!
For a time, Japan exploded!
All Japanese audiences were completely confused!
Suddenly, news of insulting Hayao Miyazaki as a Japanese traitor came one after another, which directly blew up the Japanese animation industry.
Countless Japanese anime fans with tough mouths were at a loss for direction.
"I still want to talk, why did the flag surrender first?!"
...
When Guan Ling got the news, he was also a little surprised.
But this does not affect Guan Ling's respect for Hayao Miyazaki. Although he adapted Miyazaki's movies, Guan Ling still has no objection to Hayao Miyazaki himself. After all, among Japanese politicians and many tough-talking Japanese, Miyazaki Jun is considered a very moderate person, someone who dares to face history head on.
At this time, most of the nominations for the Annie Awards and the Berlin Film Festival were announced, including the movie "The Wind Rises"!
In the Berlin Film Festival, this film even entered the main competition!
For a time, public opinion arose!
Faced with Hayao Miyazaki’s decision to write the novel, being beaten as a Japanese rapist in Japan, and the news that the film was selected into two major film festivals.
Guan Ling finally accepted an interview with the news media. During the interview, Guan Ling spoke sharply!
“Director Hayao Miyazaki is a director I have always respected because he dares to face history and reflect on it. But most Japanese people do not deserve the respect of the Chinese people.
Let’s talk about animated movies , director Hayao Miyazaki has led the development of Japanese animation for half a century.
But apart from him, Japanese animation is just a bunch of garbage!”
