Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Advertisements started to play on the TV. Xiao Ming and others were silent, either bowing their heads or staring blankly at the TV. Everyone was still immersed in the confused atmosphere brought by the news that "Slam Dunk is over." middle.

During this long serialization time, "Slam Dunk" has unknowingly taken root in their hearts. When they see the word "end", it seems as if a piece of their hearts has been suddenly taken away. left a huge hole.

The teacher turned off the TV, clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the students, glanced around, and looked at the current class of children. He felt very relieved. His unfinished dream might be completed by this group of children!

"What do you think of the ending of "Slam Dunk"?" the teacher suddenly asked.

Xiao Ming and his classmates were stunned for a moment, thinking about the feeling of being suddenly doused with cold water by the porter during the cheers at the end, and they all complained.

"Unhappy! Very unhappy!"

"Even if the teacher is right, Xiangbei will lose in the next game. This is the inevitable outcome, but it is still very unpleasant!"

"They have the strength to win the championship, but they lost in this way. It is simply too cruel for Akagi, Mugure, and Mitsui!"

""Slam Dunk" should not end here. Shohoku has not won the championship yet. Sakuragi's huge potential has only just emerged. After the transformation, Rukawa Kaede has not yet competed with others, and Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede's The goal is to go to the NBA, but I haven’t seen a world-class competition yet. How can it be completed?"

The students talked a lot and expressed their dissatisfaction.

But the teacher smiled and said: "Seeing your looks, I suddenly thought that the ending of "Slam Dunk" is simply perfect!"

"Why? Nothing is finished yet, how can this be called perfect?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Starting with "Until the End of the World" and ending with it is like having a long dream, and when you wake up, you are back to the beginning. This is a incomplete dream, a dream full of regrets . But does the dream end like this? I don’t think so. The story after it will be you as the protagonists, continuing this story! I think. Maybe this is what the porter wants." The teacher’s voice was ups and downs, drifting into In the ears of every student, their eyes become brighter and brighter.

"We, the protagonist..." Xiao Ming murmured. The hole in their hearts was suddenly filled with something, filling their bodies with power!

"We are the protagonists!"

The classmates suddenly burst into laughter,

Cheers.

The confusion faded from everyone's voice, and they knew what they were going to do.

"Slam Dunk" will not end. It is up to them to fill the regrets of "Shobei" and the game that "Sakuragi" and others did not complete. Just let them do it!

The teacher looked at the students and let out a sigh of relief.

This classroom is usually used for them to watch games and analyze games. Since the launch of "Slam Dunk". Watching "Slam Dunk" has also become a required course for them. And everyone is a fan of "Slam Dunk". The classroom is also covered with posters of various classic players in "Slam Dunk".

The teacher couldn't help but look at the poster, thinking of the person in Yanjing, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

Thank you, porter!

…

"You look familiar. Uncle, do we live in the same community?" By the basketball court. A slightly fat young man spoke to a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties or fifties with a weathered face who was watching the game with him.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are young but have such a bad memory, I will live across from you, neighbor. Remember your name is Wang Chen, right?"

The young man was greatly embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh... I'm sorry, it's been half a year since I moved here, but I was too busy with work and traveled a lot, so I didn't get to know the neighbors. I'm sorry."

"I understand. Nowadays, society is better, the pace is faster, and everyone is busy." The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously, and then asked the young man: "Do you also like basketball?"

The young man looked at the lively game on the court and replied: "Yes, when I was in school, I played almost every day. After I got busy at work, I never played again. Then I watched an animation and I missed it very much. So I wanted to check it out when I had time... and lose weight on the way."

The young man patted his beer belly and laughed at himself.

The middle-aged man nodded. As for what he was watching, he knew it without asking. If it hadn't been for that anime, there wouldn't be such a hot scene now.

Although "Slam Dunk" has ended, the basketball craze has not subsided. Instead, it has become more and more intense. The previously empty basketball court in the stadium is now overcrowded every day. If you want to rent a venue to play, you even need to make a reservation. This is Something never imagined before.

Some stadiums have even had to expand staff.

Not to mention the free sports stadium in the school. The students of the school have occupied the stadium themselves, and there is no chance for outsiders to play.

In some communities, the basketball courts that are usually used for square dancing for the aunts have also resumed their mission and responsibilities. Every evening, the rhythmic and energetic sound of "bang bang bang" will be heard in the court. and some cheers and excited roars of “good shots.”

The steamy breath of twilight disappeared from people's bodies, and the long-lost passion once again occupied the bodies of young people, uncles, and old men.

"Hey, but now that I've been shopping around, there are too many people. The reservations have been scheduled until next month. I'll look for other places. What about you?" the young man said.

"Let's go together. My friend just went to find a place. Wait until I call him back."

The middle-aged man took out his phone, called his friend back, and then said to the young man: "When we have time to play ball in the future, how about we play together? Even though I am old, I can still beat young people like you more than enough."

The middle-aged man made a joke about the young man's beer belly. The young man nodded and said, "Hahaha, definitely! But don't brag about it. Whether it's strong or not, let's wait until we fight it."

The changes brought about by "Slam Dunk" are not just that. The sales of various "Slam Dunk" peripherals, basketball equipment, and even other sports products have soared compared to before the serialization of "Slam Dunk" Several times.

Such a hot market has made it impossible for product manufacturers to keep up with their production capacity, and the entire industry has had to begin a massive expansion of recruitment to replenish manpower, which has also indirectly increased the employment rate.

This is really a work that drives an industry.

Being a sports power does not mean how many gold medals there are, but the participation rate of the whole people in sports. Now, under the influence of "Slam Dunk", it is moving towards a real sports power.

…

Recently, Yaohua can be said to be very high-spirited. The final box office of "Shaolin Soccer" was 1.1 billion. He has truly become a member of the billion-dollar club and is the first director of this generation to enter.

Following He Chen made him gain both fame and fortune. He felt that if he were a woman, he would definitely repay He Chen with himself.

"The final box office of "Sadako" is also out. It's more than 300 million. It's just so-so."

Horror movies are a niche genre, and the box office is not very high. It can reach 300 million, which has already broken the original record of "The Grudge".

It's a pity that Yaohua no longer cares about the box office. If this movie hadn't been He Chen's work, he wouldn't have bothered to film it.

The reputation of "Sadako" can only be regarded as average. After all, "The Grudge" preceded it. Audiences who like this film have high expectations for this movie, and "Sadako" really made them very happy. satisfy.

But as for surprises, there are none.

The chilling BGM, the creepy sense of horror, and the actor who plays Sadako - Mamiko, all made them feel the familiar flavor - as scary as "The Grudge".

But this is generally compared to "The Grudge". "Sadako" is still a very classic horror movie, and its box office of 300 million is its affirmation.

Universal Cinema also introduced "Sadako" based on He Chen's name, and also "Shaolin Football" by the way.

Based on "The Grudge", Universal Cinema is still very optimistic about the box office of "Sadako". In order to further explore the potential - to defraud the audience's wallets, they will still adapt the North American version of "The Grudge" themselves just like the original "The Grudge" Sadako".

The same story, played twice with different characters, and costing you money to play it twice, would you be afraid?

The West has always been very interested in Chinese kung fu. It can be seen from Universal Cinema's enthusiasm for "Dragon Ball" that they like this kind of violent aesthetics full of muscle collisions very much.

However, in "Shaolin Soccer", there is no such exciting muscle collision, the kung fu is also an exaggerated fantasy variety, and there is also a unique oriental restrained language humor, which may not be accepted by the Western market.

Therefore, they are very doubtful about the box office of "Shaolin Football". However, the Western understanding of Chinese "Kung Fu" is inherently exaggerated. Many people even think that people who know Kung Fu can fly. This is unique to China. The martial arts culture, as well as the influence of "martial arts movies" and "Dragon Ball".

Besides, this is Porter's work, and it has such a high box office in China, so on this issue, they can still give it a try.

And in this way, they will be able to detect a commercial film model that has both East and West - yes, Universal Cinemas does not just want to make money by cooperating with Tianman.

No matter how we cooperate, the copyright of the movie belongs to Tianman, and Tianman has to take money from their pockets. How can we make any profit from the movies we create and sell ourselves?

They are trying to discover the "cool points" shared by the East and the West from the content of Tianman's story that now dominates the Chinese market and the response to its introduction to the Western market, and then shoot it themselves to maximize profits - this is not 10 years ago. China's increasingly prosperous economy has made it a huge market that Hollywood must pay attention to.

As the world's film factory and one of the giants of Hollywood, they regard the whole world as their territory! (To be continued)
