It was not the young richest man in the new world who was present, but what Andy Smith said was indeed very exciting and the analysis was very accurate.

With the bloody splash of "Dragon Ball" being released, it has attracted a lot of criticism. Hollywood's repeated adaptations have failed, which seems to prove that the anime with foot basin is a large number of comics, and the real-life comics are doomed to fail.

You should know that the comic "Dragon Ball" is an extremely popular Japanese anime in the West, and the kind of brainless die-hard fans are almost all in Europe and the United States, and even the local footbaths are not as good as so many crazy Dragon Ball fans in Europe and the United States. The number one sales throne around Bandai's animation is enough to show the influence of Dragon Ball on the world.

The American version of Dragon Ball, which Fox made from the beginning, was simply bloody and bloody, and even the original author himself was unwilling to face the quality... Mr. Toriyama's evaluation of this work was "I hope everyone will appreciate this movie as a story of a parallel world", and he expressed his tactful expression that he hoped to break the relationship between the work and his work.

Not to mention that no matter how much investment is now, the plot is not outstanding, it is basically impossible to make a big hit. This movie is basically destined to lose money, which is good enough to ensure no loss. However, Fox, who was a thief, only invested 40 million US dollars, plus a lot of publicity and distribution costs. The global box office will cost at least 3.5 times to make a profit.

In short, this movie is a slap for Hollywood and both sides of the anime industry.

Next, footbasin animation will fall into a low period in the United States and will continue to decline in the visible future.

Andy won't miss this opportunity to buy at the bottom and stock up! According to surveys, big data shows that the golden age of footbath animation in the United States was around 2000. That is to say, the generation born in the 1990s and 1995s, in fact, at that time, the popular things between the Celestial Empire and the American teenagers were very close, such as Yu-Gi-Gi-Gi-Yu-Ti-Men, Pokémon, Dragon Ball, GBA, etc. were also phenomenally existed in the United States.

Dragon Ball and Pokémon are the two benchmarks of this era. The popularity in the United States is no less than that of Transformers and Marvel. Others such as Sailor Moon, Evangelion, Slam Dunk, Digimon, etc. are also powerful second-tier players.

However, this prosperity was fragile from the beginning. The local American film and television works suitable for teenagers have become more and more popular after Spider-Man was released in 2001. Football animation has also been forced to become a subculture for many reasons.

"…In the United States, since TV is the only way to watch animations except videotapes, this passive acceptance model gives middlemen who have animation copyrights too much power. The reasons for the decline in popularity of footbath animation in the United States, such as the censorship mechanism, have existed in the industry since the beginning.

To be honest, the US film and television market is a market that extreme exclusion of foreign cultures. For a non-English work, not dubbing is equivalent to a niche. This is very different from the proficiency of Tianchao to view subtitles. There was a problem with the positioning of anime in the United States at the beginning. American publishers believe that the audience of anime is children, so the full-age rating is a red line that must not be touched.

The American censorship is the self-censorship of the issuing company in order to please the American parents with conservative ideas. In this case, Pokémon and Dragon Ball stood up with good dubbing standards, but the subsequent dubbing and censorship of One Piece and Naruto was terrible…”

Andy faced Shueisha's president, Horiuchi Maruke, Kodansha's president, Sakako Noma, and the president of the Elementary School Pavilion, three bigwigs in the publishing industry, without any hesitation, and did not care about the ugly faces of the three of them. He continued to shake his head and laugh and said.

"Can you imagine that in Neptune, Sanji's hand turned into a lollipop? Can you imagine that in Naruto, Naruto, was holding a kunai, piercing the back of his hand, turning into a red apple in one hand and Doraemon's toolbox in the other?"

"Puff"

"Ahem..."

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehe..."

At this time, Shueisha President Maruke Horiuchi looked a little star-eyed. He vaguely saw ten thousand divine beasts running past him and spitting water at him, looking like he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He felt like he was on his back. He looked at the laughter around him but he held back, feeling very uncomfortable and constantly coughing lightly. His colleagues in the industry were extremely ghostly at this moment. He really wanted to strangle the American middlemen to death. He knew that after tonight, these two jokes would become classic jokes in the industry.

"Haha, it's funny, right? But this is reality. So in the eyes of ordinary Americans today, their inherent impression of footbath anime has become a change, Asian culture is so difficult to understand, and the at-force field of culture has been erected again. The failure of One Person and Naruto made the footbath anime, which was already walking on the edge of popular culture, fall to the bottom, and the American market can no longer get up.

Of course, the failure of the two works is the appearance. The core problem of animation lies in its weak subcultural status in the United States and the emergence of competitors positioned with the United States. For example, my Marvel Group, Warner's D... The mainstreaming and niche of animation have always been controversial topics.

Mainstream is an attribute, but in fact it is a specific creative principle, which is the greatest common divisor from children to the elderly. Mainstream music, art, and film and television works must cut off many characteristics to satisfy the mainstream's appetite. Nicheness also has its shortcomings of looking at the sky from a well. The homogeneity of footbath animation is popular today because the local audience you want to cater to is too single and the taste is not changeable enough.

I actually expect the US market to have an impact on the single Japanese animation industry and make the animation more diverse... Otherwise, the live-action movie of Dragon Ball will be the last remaining bo in that golden age."

As soon as the words came, the people around him couldn't help but feel a little uproar, and began to whisper with a serious and ugly expression. Andy just smiled and turned his head to look at Sasaki, who was blinking his innocent big eyes, and was always looking at him with curious and admiring eyes from time to time, and smiled slightly.

Although Andy was surrounded by these group of foot basin people, he could give the people present a calm and calm way of giving guidance, leaving him as a savior of the foot basin animation in the US market. To say so many truths, it is nothing more than making these foot basin people understand the real dilemma. Only by letting them think that the IP in their hands has no market in the United States can Andy get the greatest IP power at the most appropriate price.

With the rise of Marvel, Andy knows better than anyone else that in the future, American comic-adapted live-action dramas will be monopolized by D and Marvel. It can be foreseeable that D and Marvel have their own belongings, and other film companies will inevitably seek to break through the monopoly situation. More and more American production companies will focus on the Anime, and even purchase the copyright of Japanese comics at high prices and remake them into live-action films and TV series to compete with Marvel and D.

Born in distress, and die in happiness.

For Andy, the sense of crisis and the sense of crisis are increasingly serious as time goes by. The sense of urgency forces him to grasp all the future advantages he may have in advance. Marvel can easily eat his entertainment empire for ten years, but in ten years, everything will become unknown. I have tasted the happiness from the perspective of God. It is conceivable that the impact of the unknown will bring to him.

In the past life, many media have become popular with superhero movies, satirizing and questioning the creativity of Hollywood movies, and it is difficult to start a new ip. The problem of "script shortage" is becoming increasingly prominent, so more and more sequels, remakes, and live-action movies are constantly being launched, and cases of "rehearing cold rice" are everywhere, although this is undoubtedly the safest choice for Hollywood movies with a higher degree of commercialization.

But in the end, it cannot change the fact that Hollywood is lacking in creativity. The imagination of Japanese cartoons will inevitably become a new way out for Hollywood. Now, buying at the bottom is undoubtedly the most suitable time.
