In the history of national comics, what work can raise nearly 4 million funds from fans? And such a high popularity IP is a blood loss, people who like it love to the extreme, people who can't understand it abound, it is the pioneer cornerstone of national comics - Kuiba.
Some people say that Kuiba is not born at the right time, and some people say that Kuiba will not publicize. But in the eyes of Cainiao, this is not the root cause of Kuiba's lack of fire, as a senior Kuiba fan, Cainiao never thinks that Kuiba is the peak of national comics, on the contrary, the weak ribs on Kuiba are an important factor affecting the polarization of word-of-mouth! "A generation of Kuiba and a generation of subjects, generations of Kuiba kill the old subjects." Just from this singing among Kuiba fans, it can be seen that a large number of viewers among Kuiba fans have not understood Kuiba at all!
In 2005, Qingqingshu decided to make a real domestic animation blockbuster, and six years later, "100,000 Fire Rushes" was released, giving anime fans at that time an unexpected surprise! The smooth 2D picture and the fine storyboarding are finally no longer the adaptation stories of traditional Chinese myths, and the national comic films finally have their own original world view. However, the box office of less than three million gave Kuiba and Guoman a painful real blow! Where did "100,000 Fire Rushes" fail?
In fact, the first "Kuiba" did not exist at all, but for the story, no one could understand it. The worldview of Kuiba is set by 8 screenwriters, but the 120-minute film only tells an incomplete prologue. From the opening worldview substitution, this story first tells us that Kuiba is the villain who caused the world disaster, and the goblin and the god of the earth are the justice that prevents Kuiba. But why could Kuiba risk his life to save his men? Why did Kuiba's subordinates think that Kuiba was the greatest? The screenwriter's superb ability dug a deep pit at the beginning, but because the content of the first part was not filled at the end, this superb ability became a failure!
The world is going to destroy Queba, and Wen Yao has become the honor of all the demon heroes' efforts, and these two deep-rooted ideas make the audience believe it. It wasn't until the release of the three "Kuiba" and the addition of "The Book of Kuiba" that the audience suddenly realized that the screenwriter of Kuiba was simply amazing! It turned out that kuiba appeared to break this unequal tattoo system, and it turned out that the gods used the tattooed yao system to selfishly control the earth, so there would be so many people following Kuiba. But what can we see in "Quibb 100,000 Fire Rush"? Only the sixth generation of Kuiba Manji can be seen to embark on his own path of conquest, and he can misinterpret a bunch of shadows that imitate The SunMan, as well as some forced and illogical settings. And these can only be completely reversed by the time of the last part of The Queba.
However, "Kuiba" has lost one after another, in addition to true love fans, the audience of "Kuiba" has few left. For a commercial film, the market simply does not give "Kuiba" so much time, and the reversal will naturally not be expected by so many people. Let's leave aside for a moment the rhythm problems of the first "Kuiba" and some of the details or character foreshadowing that have not been unfolded, because these problems are not big enough to the story!
Brute Xiaoman awarded Man Ji's self-made lone demon tattoo, and the self-deception here did not make the audience reflect, on the contrary, becoming the greatest demon was more like the core of the film. The challenge of The Wild Ji resonated with all the demons who did not have a formal tattoo, but because everyone was bent on defeating Kuiba, there was still no reflection on why this was the case for the audience except to be moved. Objectively speaking, in the eyes of the audience who do not understand Kuiba, it is not too much to understand the old-fashioned story of forced sensationalism. But the little friends who understand Kuiba know that about the two core points of Wen Yao and Kuiba, the screenwriter is deliberately digging a pit here.
Whether Or not Man Ji knew that he was Kuiba, the potential of a leader who dared to rebel against the unequal system had been vividly reflected in the young Kuiba. But when you see this, who can relate to the fourth generation of Kuiba who died in the opening chapter to save his subordinates? Fans who have liked Kuiba since "Kuiba 100,000 Fire Rush" are nothing more than because of the rare 2D graphics, storyboarding and independent story structure at that time. So many years later, when many people watched the first three films of Kuiba in one breath, a large number of audiences began to clamor to return its movie tickets, because at this time we really understood Kuiba!
In fact, the weakness of "Kuiba" is its overconfidence in the first part. But it is also such a self-confidence that many people have begun to praise "Kuiba" as a god. But in commercial films, a good work should definitely not be understood only by a few people. With the failure of the first three films of "Kuiba", Kuiba has become an inevitable ending. Therefore, many viewers said that since it is such a long-term story, why doesn't "Kuiba" first do animated dramas to pave the way?
Do you think that putting "Kuiba" in today will definitely be a fire? Even if the drama is the winner, there are still helpless pain points in the real environment. The national comic environment in 2011 is far less than today, and even today, how many national comics can be profitable? Therefore, "Kuiba" wants to do high-quality domestic animation blockbusters, and choosing a movie to start is the right choice. Because only then will there be funding. It's just that the "Kuiba" movie is doomed to failure, and the ridiculous reason for the failure is that the story of "Kuiba" can only become a classic in the hearts of fans many years later!
To put it bluntly, even if "Kuiba 100,000 Fire" is released today, it will not achieve the desired results. If "Kuiba" had been a short and complete story from the beginning, if the screenwriter had not had such great ambitions, it might have achieved some success. But it is never possible to make people who like it like it to death like it to live to the death, and let those who have no patience to watch it scold it worthless. If you could do it all over again, and the future could be hailed as a god and the commercial returns you could get now, which one would you choose? But Kuiba has no choice...
