There are always so many right and wrongs in the second dimension, but the so-called authorities are obsessed with it, and bystanders can tell! As bystanders, we have a plug-in-like God's perspective, and may be able to see the essence of the problem more clearly. But as the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people, and everyone will definitely have a different view on the same issue. Do you think it is right or wrong? Do you support the positive side or the negative side? Please pay attention to the special column updated at 0:00 every Monday to Wednesday on Tencent Animation Channel - the two-dimensional debate competition!
Debate! Is China capable of making good comic book movies?
The past few years have been a golden period for the rapid development of China's animation industry. There is a trend of catching up with the United States and surpassing Japan in all aspects. Not only the quality of animation has gradually improved, but also cooperation with many Japanese and American companies has begun. , and at the same time, they also began to learn from the strengths of the Japanese animation industry to improve themselves in terms of the industrial chain structure. One of the most intuitive manifestations is that China has also begun the crazy process of filming live-action movies adapted from comics, just like Japan in the golden age of animation.
Everyone knows that Japanese animation has long formed a complete one-stop industry chain structure. Once a work becomes popular, it will immediately be adapted into a light novel or even animated. If such a multi-dimensional adaptation To make this work more popular, we will continue to carry out multi-faceted development, such as peripheral figures, such as radio dramas, such as filming live-action movies... At this point, many netizens may have to say: "Please, please Not to mention the live-action version of the comic, it is simply destroying the original work! Judging from current experience, eight or nine of the ten live-action movies adapted from the comic are destroying the original work." In fact, this worry is not unfounded! wind. It’s true. There are far more successful examples of live-action movie adaptations of manga than failures. Looking at the works in the past two years, the live-action movie adaptations of manga that have hit the street like “Attack on Titan” have also failed. Not a few. Therefore, every time there is news from Japan that a certain anime work will be adapted into a live-action movie, domestic fans will often take a breath of air.
Debate! Is China capable of making good comic book movies?
But now the situation is changing, and it is the turn of Japanese friends to breathe in the air-conditioning. As China's capital investment in the animation industry continues to increase, the rights to adapt live-action versions of popular Japanese works have gradually been won by Chinese companies. I believe friends who often follow Tencent's animation channel must still remember that before In the past few months, Penguin Girl has introduced to you the news that the rights to adapt live-action movies of many popular Japanese anime works have been acquired by domestic companies, such as "5 Centimeters per Second", "Future Diary" and other excellent works have been ranked on the approval list.
Although this kind of thing reflects the booming development of China's animation industry on the one hand, it also arouses the concerns of many domestic two-dimensional enthusiasts - the Chinese animation industry, which started late, is really Are you capable of making live-action adaptations of these anime works? Most netizens have a pessimistic attitude towards this. They believe that Chinese companies have spent a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights of these works, and they will definitely not escape the fate of destroying the original works in the end. However, many netizens said that the current Chinese film and television industry is no longer what it was more than ten years ago. Nowadays, not only animation in China is getting better and better, but the film market is also becoming more and more popular and mature, so everyone We should still be more tolerant and expectant of Chinese comic-book movies. What do you think about this?
So we are going to debate today and use factual arguments to discuss: "Is China capable of making good comic book movies?"
Debate! Is China capable of making good comic book movies?
Opinion: China is definitely capable of making live-action movies adapted from comic books!
One of the arguments is that the Chinese film market is very large, and comic book movies have sufficient audience support.
Whether a movie can be successful or not depends largely on its investment. After all, there is an old saying in China: "Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible." .
For a long time, American blockbusters represented by Hollywood movies have been very popular in countries around the world. Isn’t it because their investment is too high? At the same time, when China was still spending millions and tens of millions to make movies, other people's investment had already reached hundreds of millions of dollars...More money will definitely provide support for the director's performance, the selection of actors, and the production of special effects. There is more room for maneuver, so we can almost draw a theorem - sufficient investment is a necessary condition for the success of a movie.
So can these live-action comic-book movies produced in China receive enough investment? The answer is undoubtedly yes. The film and television market in Japan, which is a big place, is definitely incomparable to that in China. Therefore, the number of two-dimensional fans in my country far exceeds that in Japan. If we average it again, the number of fans of the same work is also in Japan. Dozens of times. In this situation of "the right time, right place, right people", are investors still afraid of not being able to recover their costs? So you don’t have to worry about the 50-cent special effects in the live-action version of the comic book adaptation, just look forward to it with peace of mind.
