Hong Kong Comic Master

The story of the second theatrical version of "Dragon Ball" tells the story of the adventure of the young Goku.

Goku and Krillin had a misunderstanding because of a word from Master Kame, so they went to the Demon City to rescue the Sleeping Beauty inside and give it to Master Kame.

At the same time, Bulma, Yamcha, Pu'er and Oolong came to play with Teacher Wu Tian. After learning the news, they also rushed to the Demon City to find Son Goku, but were attacked by demons on the way. Bulma was even captured by the seemingly handsome but cruel demon city lord Lucifer.

And this Lucifer turned out to be a vampire. At this time, he was planning a famous evil plan in the Demon City.

It turns out that the so-called Sleeping Beauty in the Demon City is not a person, but an energy crystal.

After gathering enough energy, it is used to destroy the sun and plunge the world into eternal darkness.

Lucifer and his friends were even about to succeed, but because today is the full moon, Goku turned into a giant ape and wreaked havoc. In the end, relying on the joint efforts of his friends, Goku recovered.

In this way, with everyone's efforts, the bad guys' conspiracy was finally stopped and the earth was saved again.

To be honest, this plot is really not interesting. After watching it, everyone was not interested.

Sure enough, although the box office of the movie broke the 1 million mark that day, it barely passed 5 million in a week, and the reputation plummeted.

Many newspapers and media have criticized this movie.

"Just to make money? A work without sincerity!"

"Extremely mediocre, no highlights!"

"A movie that even a passing dog can curse!"

Faced with such a reputation, Cai Zhizhong brought Acan to Li Wannian's studio on the third day after the premiere of the movie.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I take full responsibility for the failure of the box office and reputation this time!"

"Boss, it has nothing to do with Mr. Cai. This time it is mainly my responsibility. I didn't do it well!"

Acan heard what Cai Zhizhong said and rushed to apologize.

The main person in charge of the second part of the Dragon Ball movie is A-chan. However, the double failure of word-of-mouth and box office has really hit him hard, and he is also worried.

Seeing the two people like this, Li Wannian put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

"Don't stand, sit down and talk!"

Leading the two to sit on the sofa in front, Li Wannian continued to speak: "You said you did something wrong, so what did you do wrong?"

Seeing Li Wannian asking this question, Cai Zhizhong and A-chan looked at each other. A-chan was about to say something, but Cai Zhizhong said first: "The main reason is that I didn't put all my energy on the movie. I let A-chan take full responsibility too early and misjudged the market reaction..."

"Mr. Cai, how can you blame you? It should be my fault! I am not capable enough, I didn't make a work that satisfies the audience, I failed Mr. Cai's trust, and ruined the classic IP of Dragon Ball!"

This time A-chan was really anxious, and said a lot in one breath. To sum up, it means that it is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Cai.

Seeing Acan's look, Li Wannian waved his hand.

"That's not what I want to hear! Have you listened to the audience's opinions seriously? Instead of reading the exaggerated opinions written by those film critics in the newspapers!"

"This..."

The two looked at each other and stopped talking, obviously not.

"Fa Zai, A Bao, you two come in!"

At this time, Li Wannian stood up, opened the door, and shouted downstairs.

"Yes, teacher!"

Yuan Jiabao and Ye Mingfa, who were concentrating on their work downstairs, suddenly got a start and stood up quickly.

After a while, the two came to Li Wannian's office.

"These two are my new assistants. You can listen to what they say. You two have watched the movie "Dragon Ball", right? How do you feel?"

Li Wannian was very surprised by the arrival of Ye Mingfa and Yuan Jiabao, because both of them were famous cartoonists in the future, which was why Li Wannian chose them.

In the original time and space, Ye Mingfa was the chief writer of Yulang Organization. He was not only responsible for "Chinese Heroes", but also created famous comics such as "Immortal Mad Blade".

As for Yuan Jiabao, he has worked in many comic companies. In addition to his debut work "Black Panther", the most famous comic is "Chinese Heroes", which fell into his hands after Ma Rongcheng left Yulang International and experienced many changes of editors.

He gave "Chinese Heroes" a new lease of life!

"It's good!"

"Yes, it's good!"

Before the two continued to speak, Li Wannian waved his hand to interrupt them: "I want to hear the truth!"

Li Wannian couldn't listen to the flattery of the two.

At this time, the two looked at each other, and then Ye Mingfa seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Teacher, I think there is indeed no problem with the movie, but it is not very attractive!"

"Please tell me in detail!"

"I am also a loyal reader of "Dragon Ball", but I am more concerned about the war between the Earth Warriors and the Saiyans in the comics now. The movie also tells the story of Goku's childhood, which I am not interested in!"

Ye Mingfa shrugged, looking a little helpless.

"Yes, Goku has a child now, and I am more concerned about Gohan's story, not Goku's childhood. The movie and the comics feel a little out of touch!"

Yuan Jiabao on the side also added at this time.

"Okay, you guys continue to be busy!"

After listening to the two people's words, Li Wannian did not comment, but asked the two to leave.

The two were somewhat puzzled after hearing this, but they still left obediently.

After the two left, Li Wannian said to Cai Zhizhong and Acan: "See? In fact, this matter has little to do with you two, and the quality of the film production is not a problem. It is mainly my misjudgment! The film production did not take into account the progress of the real comics, so it led to the failure of the film box office, so why are you two in a hurry to stop the blame?"

Obviously, Li Wannian's words directly put the blame for the failure of the entire film box office on himself.

This moved Cai Zhizhong and Acan deeply.

"Boss, this..."

"Mr. Li, I..."

"Okay, don't say anything more, this matter is settled, you guys work hard next time!"

With Li Wannian's golden words, the matter ended here, and Shenlong Company did not pursue the responsibility of others.

In the end, nearly a month after the release of the second movie of "Dragon Ball", the box office in Hong Kong Island just exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Just when everyone thought that Shenlong Company had finally suffered a setback, news came from Japan that the box office of Dragon Ball: Sleeping Beauty in the Devil's Castle had exceeded 500 million in Japan. Obviously, the movie still made a lot of money.

This news instantly silenced all the film critics in Hong Kong.

This movie, this box office, can this be called a failure?
