Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 321: Japanese tradition, comic-adapted live-action movies are always trash

Shingo Oda is very happy that the licensing negotiations for the live-action adaptation of "GANTZ" have been completed.

In as fast as one year or as slow as two years, you can see the live-action version of your work.

This is something that any author would be happy about. Moreover, when he saw the amount of the licensing agreement, Oda Shingo's eyes lit up.

I have indeed entered the ranks of bigwigs with incomes of tens of millions.

Previously, due to the settlement cycle of comic royalties, Oda Shingo's current assets never exceeded 10 million yuan.

The licensing fees are now over 10 million. Even if we deduct taxes and commissions, and the box office commission as a base, the income is definitely over 10 million.

"By the way, can I give some suggestions about the movie?" Oda Shingo asked Mrs. Yukino.

Japanese tradition, comic book live-action adaptations are always rubbish...

"This is the author's right, and the producers will be happy to hear it." Mrs. Yukino asked for the relevant contact information.

Oda Shingo tidied up his words a little and sent his opinions.

【Three suggestions: 1. The plot of the movie should be as faithful to the original as possible, especially if there is a sequel, don't make any changes; 2. Movies are different from comics, and the expression method and sense of time are different. The characters should not hesitate when shooting, and they should not be in a daze waiting to be killed; 3. When the female characters reveal themselves in the plot, they must really reveal themselves, don't fool the audience.】

These two suggestions from Shingo Ida are a summary of the most concentrated opinions after watching the two live-action versions of "GANTZ" set on Earth.

The first two points can be said to be a matter of personal feelings, and perhaps you can really tolerate them if you are patient enough.

But the third point is an opinion that has been signed in blood by thousands of people. I can tolerate it, but my little brother cannot!
Japan's film censorship classification is under the responsibility of the Japan Film Ethics Committee and is divided into G for general audiences, PG12 (under 15 years old must be accompanied by an adult), PG18+ (under years old are prohibited from entering) and R+ (under years old are prohibited from entering).

Before the live-action version of "GANTZ" was released on Earth, there was constant publicity and promotion, saying that elder sister Kana Watanabe made a huge sacrifice.

Let alone comic fans, even passers-by would buy tickets if they heard about this cute F-cup big sister, right? We didn't go to see a pair of Fs, we just wanted to see what expression the protagonist would have when he saw the F-cup big sister teleporting without clothes.

Well, so, after entering the theater, the audience cried out that they had been cheated.

Big sister is lying! Didn't you say you made a great sacrifice? How come your sacrifice is not as great as the one in Ranma 1/2? This is also called GANTZ?
As a result, the live-action version of "GANTZ" was criticized and became a hot topic in Japan.

But no matter how much we curse, our bodies are still honest. On Earth, the live-action version of "GANTZ" was a huge hit at the box office. Even the second part of the magical adaptation dominated the box office rankings for a week.

This may be the nature of Japanese comic-adapted movies. Everyone knows that it is not well made, and everyone is criticizing it, saying that it does not faithfully restore the original work and even damages the image of the characters, but the box office is still good!
This may be the reason why live-action adaptations of Japanese anime have remained popular for a long time.

However, the amazing CG movie "GANTZ0" barely passed the box office because it only recovered its costs and the profit margin was not high.

This is a very strange thing. It seems that the appeal of CG movies in Japan is far less than that of the live-action crap version.

After Shingo Oda made this suggestion, I doubted whether the producer Tokyo Film Company would seriously consider it.

The movie adaptation of "GANTZ" on Earth is hilarious. The live-action movie has been promoted for almost a month, and when it was about to be released, the original author Oku Hiroya suddenly realized: "Huh? It's been adapted into a movie?"

After he sold the copyright more than ten years ago, he forgot about it...

But it can be seen from this that the original author's opinion, in the eyes of the film producers, is not as good as the heroine's tight latex suit that will bulge when she farts.

Perhaps this is the much-maligned blind spot of Japanese live-action film adaptations?
Oda Shingo gave up struggling and could only kindly remind him. Even if he spoke up, I'm afraid the investors wouldn't take it seriously.

Forget it, as long as I get the money.

"Mrs. Yukino, thank you very much." After receiving the licensing fee, Oda Shingo immediately started to pack red envelopes.

Even though he knew that Mrs. Yukino was not short of money at all, this was a token of thought and an attitude.

He has supported me all the way since I was a pauper. Let alone giving me a red envelope, even giving me half of my property would be reasonable, right?
Of course, the half share can also be obtained through other legal means, and Oda Shingo himself would be very happy about it.

Even so, he would still make a profit. Not to mention the half of the random thoughts, Oda Shingo was now sending Mrs. Yukino a friendly message.

A thick stack of cash as a red envelope can really make people happy.

"Mr. Oda, thank you for your concern." Mrs. Yukino happily accepted the red envelope.

Then Yuko Mikami and Kaoru Fujido also received red envelopes.

Although it was far from being that thick, Oda Shingo still sent it.

"Teacher Oda, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to contribute anything to GANTZ." Yuko Mikami felt embarrassed.

Oda Shingo consoled him, "Did you forget to help with the background and dialog boxes? If our studio produces results, whether it is a direct-administered work or not, we will get some dividends."

Fujido Kaoru accepted it with a blushing face: "It's good to trust people. No wonder my father is willing to let me live here. With such a large bonus, I will treat my father to Nagoya cuisine!"

"Huh? Run so far?" Oda Nobuo was surprised.

Fujido Kacheng smiled and said, "He's been sending me messages talking about it lately, so give him some money to go on a trip so he doesn't have to nag me."

Oda Shingo asked, "What are you nagging about?"

"..." Fujido Kaoru didn't answer directly, but gave Oda Shingo a resentful look, "Idiot..."

Oda Shingo felt a chill on his back and dared not say a word. He quickly turned around and gave a red envelope to Namikaze Youhe: "Namikaze-kun, thank you for your contribution. This is a thank-you gift. Please accept it."

He handed over a red envelope with both hands that was of the same size as the one given to Mrs. Yukino.

Namikaze Youzuru smiled sweetly, took it and asked in a low voice: "Is it more for me or for Mrs. Yukino?"

"Of course I give you more." Oda Shingo thought that after all, Namikaze Yukaku was the main writer, and Mrs. Yukino was the proofreader, and she was just doing some agency work.

When Namikaze Youhe heard that it was his money, his eyebrows and eyes curved with a smile, and he took the red envelope and whispered, "I'll keep it for us."

Who should I save it for? Oda Shingo felt that he didn't hear clearly and wanted to ask.

But thinking about Fujido Kaoru's performance, it seems better not to ask any further questions.

After giving out four big red envelopes, Oda Shingo went to Springfield Books carrying a lot of gifts.

Namikaze Yuzuru and Todou Kacheng clamored to help get it, so they followed closely.

Yuko Mikami felt a little embarrassed, but considering that it was her brother's workplace, she was a little curious and followed him shamelessly.

"Teacher Oda!" As soon as we arrived at the door of the Springfield Bookstore building, the guard stood at attention.

"Oh! Uncle, I have some good comic adaptations here, please accept them." Oda Shingo gave a gift.

The guard quickly took it with both hands: "Oh, you are so polite."

Oda Shingo is a seasoned veteran in the workplace, and he does not flatter his superiors or bully his subordinates, so he bought a lot of gifts.

The three girls were carrying huge bags behind them. If they were not dressed in ordinary clothes, they would have been mistaken for Santa Claus.

Of course, Oda Nobuo had other intentions when he came to personally deliver the thank-you gift this time.

More comics space from Champion and RED magazines!
I want to unify the three realms with comics!
No, overwhelm the Big Three!
