ALL NOVEL Chapter 393
Chapter 393: International Awards
With a group of people blowing “The Oath in the Morning and Evening”, the box office of this animated movie, which should have almost wilted, miraculously shined with its second spring.
Then, for several consecutive weeks, instead of falling, the weekly box office was still growing.
Of course, there is a limit no matter how much it grows. After a month, it is impossible to have a weekly box office of more than 100 million yen. However, after such a wave of growth, the limit is no longer 7.8 billion.
By April 30, the cumulative box office of this animation reached 790 million, close to 800 million.
There is still some time before the release, and the previous limit has been reached ahead of schedule.
In May, the box office of the animation fell back to a normal level.
On May 31, the cumulative box office reached 910 million.
In June, people who should watch or would watch this movie are almost watched. Basically, the second and third batches have been used, and the weekly box office has become less and less.
Some movie theaters simply release it directly.
There are basically two shows a day, or even only one show.
Throughout June, a total of tens of millions of box office were collected.
On July 7th, when the last show was over, the animated film was completely released.
It has been in theaters for nearly five months and has a cumulative box office of 952 million yen.
It’s a small pity that it failed to break through one billion yen, but it’s also impossible. After all, the nature of this animated film is there, and it’s not a commercial movie. The 952 million yen is already considered very high and far away. Far beyond Takagi Makoto’s original expectations.
Not only Takagi Makoto is satisfied, but even Kawano Akino has nothing to say about this box office.
When Takagi Makoto showed her the plan, let alone 952 million, she felt that it might have a box office of four or five billion. This was because the animation was produced by Takagi Makoto. Two to three billion at the box office.
I didn’t expect it to reach 952 million.
It was a miracle.
After the animation is released, it is natural not to just throw it away.
On the one hand, animated BDs and DVDs were on sale. On the other hand, the film was also sent to various international animation film festivals to participate in the awards.
For literary and artistic animated films, awards are always given priority. Relatively speaking, the box office performance is still second.
The awards are not meaningless. Even if Makoto Takagi has won many animation awards, they are basically all TV awards, and they are basically all awards from the island country. International awards are very few. .
Take a few international awards, not to mention the benefits of increasing popularity, and more importantly, it can increase the compelling status.
Let’s talk about Hayao Miyazaki from another world. Why do you say that he is amazing? One is that his movies are really good-looking, really awesome, and the box office is really high, and the other is that his animation awards are uncountable, the island country’s. Awards, international awards, I don’t know how many.
Even he himself was awarded the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Award. No animation practitioner in the island country can match this compelling situation.
Hosoda Mamoru, who was once touted as the successor of Hayao Miyazaki, began to hit various international awards after getting almost the awards in the island country.
What Takagi Makoto is doing now is the same thing.
Of course, he has never thought about beating Miyazaki Hayao or Hosoda Mamoru. Originally, he just thought it was more suitable for the animation “Asaka and Evening Oath”. It’s not justified not to win a few prizes.
To judge the award, of course Takagi Makoto himself must go there in person.
He didn’t pay much attention to the specific film festivals and awards. Anyway, it was arranged by Kawano Akino. He only took a look at the place Kawano asked him to go. Then he took a flight to get the general situation. that place.
Although it does not take many months to go to a film festival, it takes four or five days to go to a film festival, and sometimes it may even take a week, which is quite time consuming.
The movie was released in July. In August, I went to Korea first and participated in an international fantasy film festival. Although I won the award, it was only a trivial small award.
In August, I went to France to participate in an international film festival. This time I won the best animation award.
I went to Italy in September, also at the International Fantasy Film Festival, and won an award for best feature film.
October is the Oscar Award in the United States. This is an award that also exists in the world where Makoto Takagi lives, just like the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs exists in this world.
However, this animation in this world is also only a shortlist for the best feature animation award, and it did not win the final award.
It is normal not to win a prize. After all, it is an Oscar. It is already very good to be shortlisted. Taking the animation of “The Oath of the Flower” alone, if it really wins, I am afraid that Takagi himself will be surprised.
Since October, there will be no international film festivals where the animation “Morning Flower and Evening Oath” can participate, so Makoto Takagi no longer runs around.
The remaining ones that are likely to be won are some awards in the island country. Those awards are not important at all, but after all, they are awarded on the island country, and they are basically the awards that have been won. The mentality is quite different.
Anyway, by the end of October, Takagi Makoto’s heart settled down, and his mind basically returned to the animation “White Box” and the new animation he was going to make himself.
“White Box” was supervised by Taro Komura, and Makoto Takagi was only responsible for the script and part of the character set.
Taro Komura was busy working on the fifth chapter of the final chapter of “Girls and Tanks”. Although the production of “White Box” has already started, it is in a slow-moving state.
Now, the fifth chapter of the final chapter of “Girls and Tanks” is finished, but it won’t be released until November.
The sixth chapter, don’t worry, the production team over there turned to produce the animation “White Box” with all its strength. The broadcast time is set in April 2017.
The script and the person in charge of Takagi Makoto have been given a long time ago, so he doesn’t need to worry too much about it here, but after all, there is still a title of producer, and it’s not that you don’t need to do nothing.
The real focus is on Takagi Makoto’s own new animation.
New animation-“Your Name”.
It can not be said that the animation film of Wang Zhan level, but it can be said to be the classic among the classics among the commercial animation films.
If you want to say how much tear-gassing this animation is, there is no, at least the level of tear-gassing is not as good as that of “Oath in the Morning”, let alone the peak of tearing like CL, but because the rhythm of this animation is too controlled. Well, it is easy for people to get infected, especially when they are in a movie theater, people with lower tear points still have to cry.
Takagi Makoto had been drawing the design draft of this animation before, and now that the design draft has been drawn, it is a matter of summoning people to enter the formal production.
