The return of the old enemy detonates the passion

When the film was released in the United States, it was 100% positive and affirmed by film critics. The average box office of the single theater in the theater was higher than Mission Impossible, and the Terminator was completely destroyed. The audience cheers every five minutes on average, which is exactly the rhythm of a Super Bowl or a superstar concert. A 2D-style animation from Japan can go crazy in the United States, the birthplace of modern animation, and easily pan for gold. What is the unique charm?

Only for fans' passion
The secret to the success of this film is to firmly grasp the nostalgic feelings of fans and audiences. In order to ensure that the film can produce a familiar taste to the audience, the production company hired Akira Toriyama himself as the screenwriter. After the end of the European chapter, I basically ignored the various Dragon Ball animations that followed. Let the production company toss and toss, and now I have finally reappeared in the arena, and I also brought along Frieza, the most successful Boss created by the Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball fans all know that Frieza is a watershed big boss in Sun Wukong's journey of upgrading and fighting monsters. His previous story is still centered on Dragon Ball, which is a slapstick but relaxed and happy adventure animation. , but in the battle of Frieza, the style of painting changed and it was upgraded to a bloody and invincible battle comic. Because of this, Frieza is very popular among fans, and many fans even went to battle in person to create a live-action version of Frieza. So Frieza's re-emergence can be said to be in line with the people's will, but with the Monkey King's door to fight monsters and upgrades, and progress to the Nth power of the Super Saiyan, you need to add another god or something. Frieza's original In comparison, the combat effectiveness has become a scumbag, but Uncle Bird fully implements the spirit of "the author is God". With a stroke of the pen, Frieza has been trained hard for four months, and he instantly has the combat effectiveness of a god. Four months! This threshold of being a god is too low, just four months, some people are not enough to even get a driver's license! Is this the legendary official plug-in? Not only that, Frieza's new outfit is also magical. The local tyrant's gold color scheme is quite like agricultural heavy metals. The old beauty who loves to play actually used it to make jokes about the president. Aren't you afraid of spoiling your president? ? Of course, the most important thing for fans is the bloody fight. In the spirit of serving the fans, the production team and Uncle Bird have devoted almost two-thirds of the movie's time to fighting, and almost staged an all-star of Dragon Ball Heroes. Sai, a teammate like the Turtle Immortal Tianjin Fan who has been low in combat power for a long time and has not shown his skills and is almost forgotten by the audience. I don’t know what BUFF was used this time, but he was able to fight with Frieza’s Cosmic Legion. It seems that the production The group is quite fair, and both sides have made a lot of hangs. The wheel battle between Monkey King and Vegeta and Frieza was even darker, and even the moves and composition of some scenes paid tribute to the original animation. At this time, fans were no longer watching the battle, but their own blood. Youth, how can you not burst into tears?

However, this "Resurrection F> seems to have gone too far on the road of "fan-oriented", so that it does not seem like a qualified film in many aspects. In terms of plot, in fact, the entire movie has only two scenes, "Friza's Resurrection" and "Fighting with Frieza". The plot is so simple that it is outrageous. Compared with the unfathomable Beerus in the previous work "God and God", Frieza's talent is limited by how to resurrect and upgrade his strength. After all, he is still behind the times. The square began to fight back, but unfortunately Frieza's own strength is really difficult to cause any pressure on the protagonist, so that the judge I almost cheered for Frieza during the viewing process. It is said that Frieza's name comes from the homonym of freezer freezer in English. But I think the current Frieza is more suitable to be called "cup". In addition, all the plots or jokes of the film are based on the fact that the audience is familiar with the original Dragon Ball. If you are not impressed with the original plot, or have not read the original at all, you may not understand the seat next door at all. The reason why the otaku was in tears or laughing.

How Dragon Ball Conquered America
In this judge's viewing experience, there has never been such a crazy time watching "The Resurrection of F" this time. It seems that the seats in the theater are not people, but hundreds of explosives, as long as the screen When a familiar figure or move appeared, the auditorium exploded instantly, and all kinds of cheers, applause and whistles were deafening. Recalling that when watching American comics such as "The Avengers" and "Batman Dark Knight" before, the audience only clapped their hands at the end of the film review, but now, Sun Wukong appeared and the audience cheered, Vegeta appeared fans screamed, and Sun Wukong appeared. When Fan turned into a Super Saiyan, everyone had all kinds of Highs, which almost made me think they were going to transform too. When the protagonists launched the Turtle School Qigong, the fans had to call out the name of the move verbatim. Even when Kobayashi shaved his hair and returned to the classic bald look, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Tom, who desperately climbed the plane and drilled into the bottom of the water in the next theater, was greeted with sparse applause from the audience. It is estimated that when he saw this scene, he would sigh, "Damn, this is okay? "

It is no exaggeration to say that the popularity of the Dragon Ball series from Japan in the United States is not weaker than that of "Spider-Man" or "Captain America" ​​made in the United States by Gen Zhengmiaohong. In various comic exhibitions, cosplay Super Saiyan is already a Standard, Dragon Ball fans can also YY Dragon Ball characters vs. Marvel or DC's peak duel. The duel between the two sides is not only limited to a duel by force, but also a competition of talents. In order to express their love for the comic characters, these fans bravely erected a killer hairstyle, often pretending to be a Saiyan, staged various crazy transformations, and loudly shouted the turtle style qigong moves to reproduce the classic anime scenes. The fans of Dragon Ball are no longer limited to otaku and otaku. Even the big Hollywood directors often draw inspiration from Dragon Ball. The director of the new version of "Superman" Zach Snyder is the super hardcore of Dragon Ball. The fierce battle in the air is a blatant plagiarism, and it's not a tribute to Dragon Ball!

While we Chinese filmmakers are cheering for the return of the domestic animation sage to create a miracle at the box office, the Japanese animation has already rushed out of Asia and conquered the United States. It is also called Sun Wukong. Why is the gap so big?

The main reason is that the super Saiyan Sun Wukong's spirit of constantly surpassing himself and defeating strong enemies can be introduced to American audiences who believe in strong and independent, watching Sun Wukong get knocked down again and again and stand up again and finally defeat the strong Is the opponent's picture like a player who has been knocked down many times in an American football game but still rushes to the touchdown zone? On the contrary, another classic animation of our childhood, "Doraemon the Doraemon", although the Disney TV channel translated and produced an English version very early, has never been popular in the United States. In the final analysis, it is Yasuo Nohito's character She is too cowardly, and she only knows how to turn to the omnipotent robot cat for help when she messes up. With such a loser's character, Lao Mei naturally dislikes him. In addition, although Akira Toriyama is not considered a beauty type in the Japanese comics industry, compared to the American superhero cartoons, such a Black Widow, such a Scarlet Witch, and Dragon Ball's characters are actually pretty good. Eye-catching, actually absorbed a lot of "Appearance Association" members to join the fan camp.

Compared to the Dragon Ball movie itself, the experience of watching a movie with many Dragon Ball die-hards is a more exciting experience in itself. It is precisely because of the strong Dragon Ball fans that the judge is embarrassed to give a low score.
