Chapter 994: The wolf is coming
The animated film produced by Zhongxia Company is adapted from "Blue Love Song", but unlike "Blue Love Song", the theme of "Blue Love Song" is not suitable for making a copy-style theatrical movie, so the creation method is also different from the last time.
"Blue Love Opera" does not use the protagonist of the animation. In fact, the love between the male and female protagonists is very clear in the original work. After experiencing TV series and animations, it will not be very fresh to make it into a movie.
So Zhongxia Company chose a popular supporting role in the animation to tell her love story. This is equivalent to adding an extra story to the original work. Although it has also been expected by many viewers, the overall form is still very different from before the release of "The Sword of Swords".
The time of the release of the new movies of the two companies and the last time they were redeemed, this time Phoenix Company was broadcast seven days in advance, and Zhongxia Company's movies followed closely.
"What are your box office goals this time?"
When Qinglong Studio went to work on the first day, Meng Huo asked Jiang Tianshi about "Blue Love Opera Edition".
"It's satisfying if you have 700 million."
"Seventy million? That's so little?" Meng Huo was surprised. The last time "The Sword of Fairy" was much higher than the "Blue Love Opera Edition".
"Of course, this time it's a transitional work." Jiang Tianshi didn't hide it from Meng Huo, but he felt that Meng Huo must also know in his heart that the animated film "Blue Love Opera" this time was just a transitional film, and Zhongxia Company's focus was on the third movie "Fate".
Therefore, the box office target this time will not be too high. In fact, the box office of 700 million is already considered good.
"The box office requirements for "The Legend of Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater [New Chapter] Rebellious Story" should be quite high, right?" Jiang Tianshi looked at Meng Huo and smiled: "It depends on you whether our movie will become popular this time. The current market form is not very good. If you can open up the situation, we will also benefit."
He knew that the recent animated films have been severely suppressed by traditional movies, and several of them were removed from the shelves and defeated Waterloo. The importance of the new work of Phoenix Company has become increasingly apparent, and it must re-enhance market confidence.
"Leave it to us."
Meng Huo nodded. He had confidence in "The Legend of the Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater [New Chapter] Rebellious Story". This confidence came from the response of last year's movie. The quality of "The Legend of the Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater [New Chapter] Rebellious Story" is higher than the previous two movies.
"[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" tells a new plot that took place after the TV version of "The Magical Girl Xiaoyuan". In his previous life, this movie was the box office king of late-night animation theatrical version released back then.
The premiere was held two weeks later and was arranged in Yanjing as usual. In addition to the senior management of DreamWorks and Phoenix Company, Meng Huo also invited representatives and experts from some cooperative companies and reporters - but no employees of Zhongxia Company attended this time.
"Sorry, Teacher He Xi, I'm going to trouble you this time!" Xing Boxiang also attended the premiere, with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and a total of 4 family members. This was her request. Meng Huo generously gave her five votes considering the number of votes.
"It's okay, I'm very happy that you like DreamWorks movies. If you have any requests next time, please let me know." Meng Huo smiled at him.
"Of course, I'm very interested in every new movie of yours." Xingboxiang said happily: "After the premiere, I will definitely help you promote it!"
This is the only help she can give Meng Huo, but the president of Yenching University helps with publicity, which is much better than that of ordinary media - Meng Huo is very grateful, but in fact Xingboxiang has taken good care of him for many years.
"For this movie, I also watched the animation disc of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" again." When I walked into the theater, Xingboka asked: "The movie then the ending of the animation unfolded. At the beginning, were there only three magic girls left?"
"No... there are five." Meng Huo shook his head: "Sayaka is here, there are new characters, and the movie revolves around their adventures, but the development and ending of the plot may surprise you."
Xingboxiang laughed: "I don't hate being surprised."
She took her family to sit in the back seat of the screening room, while Meng Huo and Xu Jing sat together. Xu Jing was also very interested in "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion", and even his wife attended this time.
After the lights are turned off, the movie begins to premiere.
"[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" begins with five magic girls fighting side by side with the monsters. There is no small circle in it, but the new characters are also very charming. The battle scenes are quite outstanding, the movie style is also clear, and the beginning gives people a good feeling.
As the plot develops, Homo Haku gradually notices the inconsistency of the world around her, and she begins to investigate the reason for this inconsistency. Then she learns that they are actually a false world, which is equivalent to Cupid observing them in a cage, which is not a real world.
Xiao Yan also discovered the abnormality of her body and soul gemstone. She knew that she had become a witch, and Cupi was using her to find Xiaoyuan.
After learning the truth, Hokage decided to give up the opportunity to salvation and accelerate the transformation of a witch in the false world. In this way, she could hinder Cupi's plan and sacrifice for Kozuna. However, under the joint efforts of other magical girls to save, Kozuna's cage was broken. Kozuna returned to the real world before destruction. Kozuna, who became a god, successfully found her and came to greet her.
However, just when Xiao Yan was about to accept redemption, she suddenly turned black and grabbed Xiao Yuan and drew her power. She separated Xiao Yuan's divine character and created a new world. In this world, Xiao Yuan's memory was sealed and lived as an ordinary person, while Xiao Yan became the god of this world, which can also be said to be the flame demon that devoured the god.
——This is the ending of "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion".
After sitting down to watch this two-hour animated movie, there was no sound in the theater - everyone was stunned by the development of the plot.
No one would have thought that the plot would be such a miraculous reversal. The ending of the TV series is that Xiaoyuan becomes a god, while the movie uses the principle of Xiaoyan devouring the ring, turning Xiaoyuan back to an ordinary Xiaoyuan and becoming a witch to the ending of the TV series. It completely destroys the ending of the TV series.
“Very…so great!!”
"It's wonderful, worthy of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". This plot is simply a magical turning point!"
When I came back to my senses, the theater burst into applause, and the reporters were excited - "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is indeed the most magical, exciting and unique work. Not only are the various magical twists in the animation, but the plot of the theatrical version of the movie also exceeded everyone's expectations.
"This is definitely not a theatrical movie, it is a continuation of the story of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan"!"
"Little Flame becomes a demon, "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" has no ending, this story is just the beginning, and Teacher He Xi plays a good chess!"
"The Magical Girl Xiaoyuan has not ended!?"
In the boiling, the premiere spoilers surged to the Internet and readers. An unprecedented plot development, the theater version without an ending turned into a demon, instantly detonated media like a bomb, and fans began to flock to the theaters wildly.
"Chairman, good news!" On the first day of the movie's release, as the headquarters of Xintiandi Company, one of the three major theater chain companies in China, the secretary broke into Dong Yuming's office: "Cinemas everywhere are overcrowded, and the movie tickets for "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] Rebellious Story" are in short supply!"
"I've guessed it long ago!" Dong Yuming smiled: "Swap the schedule of Shangriba and it immediately!"
"Shangriba?" The secretary was surprised: "It is a very popular movie recently, and the box office accounts for the fifth in our theaters!"
"It's okay, replace it for me." Dong Yuming waved his hand: "With Teacher He Xi's appeal, the box office of "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] Rebellious Story" will not be worse than "Shangriba"!"
He Xi's first few animated films are very popular. This time, Dong Yuming was a little worried that "[New Chapter] Rebellious Story" would be hit by the sluggish market. Now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary.
"According to the situation in the previous movie, the box office of "[New Chapter] Rebellious Story" should be able to remain above one billion..."
Dong Yuming thought so, and after another two days, the secretary hurried in again.
"Chairman, no, the movie tickets for "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] Rebellious Story" are still in short supply in the past two days, and the audience is queuing up. The theater lets us reschedule a better schedule!"
"What? Is this happening?" Dong Yuming was a little surprised. It seems that the total box office of "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" may exceed the previous two animated movies. He Xi is really getting bigger and bigger.
He thought for a while and said, "The schedule of "The East Travel to the Demons" is replaced by me!"
The secretary was startled: ""East Travel to the East"? Isn't it a movie that is the focus of attention? It ranks third in the box office of the theater's New Year's Eve, Chairman, you promised them more schedules!"
"Now whether it promises or not." Dong Yuming said loudly: "I will be responsible over there. You can change the schedules of the two movies!"
Although it is not good to break the promise, Dong Yuming is more interested in He Xi's potential. This guy has released a best-selling movie in half a year. The producer of "The East Travels to the Demons" is far inferior to him. Dong Yuming decided to bet on He Xi.
However, just two days later, the secretary broke in again.
"Chairman, big things are not good! The movie tickets for "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion"..."
"Damn it, isn't it enough?" Dong Yuming stood up and asked in shock. What kind of box office monster is "[New Chapter] Rebellious Story"? How come he changed the scheduling twice and couldn't satisfy it!
The secretary wiped his sweat: "The audience of "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" is crowded... The theater hopes you will adjust the schedule again!"
"No, I've already lost my word last time and can't adjust anymore!"
Dong Yuming replied with a face, saying that if you adjust again, you have to give He Xi the best treatment. He can't just say irresponsible to other producers twice.
"But the Chairman, because of the continuous adjustment of schedule, many viewers came to us. Now we can't control it anymore... The audience was blocking the doors of some theaters to protest and had to adjust!"
The secretary said nervously.
Dong Yuming was stunned and quickly called. After asking the truth, he fell into a long silence.
"Then... then let's call them the first "English Empress"!" But in the end, Dong Yuming chose to compromise. He felt that he was really a ghost. How could "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" become so popular?
However, a few days later, the secretary broke in again.
"Chairman, "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion"..."
"Damn, isn't it enough?" Dong Yuming's cup fell to the ground.
The secretary took a deep breath: "Yes...and some viewers went to the court to sue us for the filming schedule too low, so they couldn't buy tickets..."
"..." Needless to say, Dong Yuming was already desperate, and he waved his hand: "That release of the schedule of "Shangriba" will increase the number of screens in "[New Chapter] Rebellious Story" to me!"
The same scene appeared one after another in different theaters and private cinemas. The theaters quickly adjusted their schedules. A week later, almost all theaters ranked "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" first and foremost. Its daily screening rate is astonishingly high, and the box office is still high.
The fans were in a carnival because of this movie. Many fans who have watched "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" were also very excited when they were working, hoping to get rid of their work and watch it for a second time. Many fans even pulled their friends and family to go to the theater again after watching it.
The peripherals and BD of "Magic Girl" are once again popular. The online search index has been in ding for a week. You can also see spoilers, comments and analysis posts about "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" everywhere on online forums. Many people even began to discuss the religious significance of its content.
This steaming scene affected the next broadcast of "Blue Love Opera". The fans' pursuit of He Xi's animated films has also made the box office of Zhongxia Company's new work achieve amazing results. Although it is not as popular as "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan Theater Edition [New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion", it is also ranked at an important time by many theaters.
The traditional film industry, which had just passed the grand New Year holiday, was stunned at this moment. Under the attack of two animated movies, those popular movies did not even have the chance to breathe and retreated - they never had the glory they had before.
The animation and film industry has just ushered in a wave of loss. In a blink of an eye, "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion" has brought them prosperity again - investors who were originally going to run have turned around and invested their funds in this emerging industry again.
For a moment, the Chinese media was in a turmoil, and reporters and experts were dumbfounded, thinking could not keep up with the rapid changes in the situation. After they reacted, the first thing these people did was to exclaim.
Chapter completed!
