ANIMATION IS SAVED. How long till we get an English release?
>>155117164the textures dont look too bad in the top screenshot actually, does the quality vary between scenes?
>>155117164This shit looks like a bootleg of Shrek.
>>155117164Did they catch whoever embezzled half the animation budget?
>>155117164The Chinese animation industry truly is like betting on the stock market
>>155117164>asteriskwhat did they mean by this
>>155117331in that it's completely made up?
>>155117164Nature is healing.
>>155118524Obsessionsisters... our response?
>>155118524>>155118538Alleged win
>>155118524Left is a true indie production. Obsession is by and for industry jews. No old money would push something like Obsession so hard if it weren't from his own loins. I know jews. I am in a manner of speaking jewish, myself. Just look at how they treat Ne Zha, or this, or even something close to home like Under the Silver Lake. Obsession is just false flagging, anti-white-male, satanic garbage like every other "indie" mass scale production of the past decade and a half. It's insulting seeing people shill things like Obsession or Nolan's recent nonsense or that Backrooms crap as some kind of avant-garde masterpiece. It's all by the books HR shit. Everything today is just Legend of Korra, over and over again.
>>155118604You are a faggot
>>155118621Nice retort, but you know I'm correct.
>>155118637Nope
I hope we get a dub that's either complete professional VAs or a dub on the level of the Speedy Dub that has a bunch of Asians who allegedly speak English.
>>155117164This is heavily offtopic. The is not a western cartoon. Try /b/ instead
>>155117331I'd argue it's more the untapped potential of micro budget indie animation can have if given enough traction, but china is also a mystery box for sure.
>>155117164>Most profitable>Only 3M profitI'd say most horror films are more profitable than that.
>>155119423>the untapped potential of micro budget indie animationLet's stop with the performative retardation, here. The reason it did anywhere as close to what it did was because of the novelty that such a hideous looking movie was being officially released. If Food Fight had an actual theatrical release in the modern day, you just know there would be idiots going to see it just for the meme of it.
>>155119461Anon I think you need to learn what return on investment means and what a ratio is, because you shouldn't be arguing about profitability if you don't know what that is compared to total net gross.
>>155117164This looks like a Video Brinquedo mockbuster of Barnyard.
>>155119515His comment about "most" horror movies is wrong, but Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch and Obsession had comical returns vs. money spent. Several hundred million earned vs. several hundred thousand spent.I'm also kind of skeptical about this movie's story. How did something so amateurish get more than a single theatrical screening anyway? This wasn't a case where the movie was screening at one location the family rented out, did crazy business and expanded. It was released in 245 theatres on day-1. Did they rent all of those theatres? If so, then they did not spend $200 on this.
>>155119741>Several hundred million earned vs. several hundred thousand spent.True, but going off the reported value, the Chinese shitpost movie is a 20,000× return compared to something like The Blair Witch Project, which, even going off the initial film cost, is at best a 7,102× return, or 1,243× based on the full budget (Both returns are still insane btw).Also, despite how crazy the story sounds, I really don't see it being a hoax. Like, what exactly would it achieve to make a movie like that appear to make that much money? Something like Ne Zha making all the money in the world is one thing because that actually looks good. That is prime propaganda material. I don't see how something that looks like Ratatoing would achieve the same thing. Also, the story isn't that impossible. Local theaters will just let smaller movies show as a way to fill empty screens. Back when I was living in my state capital for a bit, the local theater would occasionally do just turbo-indie shit. They even once showed a Batman/Friday the 13th fan film (Halloween Knight, for anyone who wants to Google it). For a country the size of China, it's not really that insane for a bunch of smaller theaters to just shrug and let whatever bullshit play because they have vacancies. It's not like it really costs them anything. They probably got sent an MP4 through email, and most people are just going to go watch Spider-Man or some Chinese drama anyway. Like, why would they care? It's just something to add to their website so people don't think they only have three movies and the only cost is the energy going to the projector.Anyway here's an image of some dogshit the theater from my capital played once, no I did not see it.
>>155120379If the theatre is a for-profit business, the producers of those movies are probably renting the venue. That's actually a well known distribution method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wall_distributionIt's just that if they're four-walling 245 theatres, I find it hard to believe this is as grass roots as they're letting off. Initially, the movie did very poorly (<300 tickets nationwide), so the fact that theatres still ran it for over a week before it went "viral" does suggest they were contractually obligated to.As for the propaganda thing, I don't see how this couldn't be used as a tool for it. News outlets are running stories about it rivaling Spiderman and The Odyssey in China. The CCP now get to claim that even their garbage can dethrone Hollywood. This has not been a good year for Chinese cinema at the boxoffice. So far, there's only 1 film in the top 10 highest grossing and it won't be there by the end of the year. They'll take any win, lol.
Still don't get why these threads are up. /co/'s existence is for western cartoons and comics only. The West is not china. Why even bring up /tv/ shit. Go there then
you can watch the full thing here btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDOqyb5VSdA
Geez, China, I finally saw Ne Zha 2 a few days ago. At least give my catharsis some time first! ;_;
>>155118524A 2 million percent profit nothing will ever come close.
>>155117164>ANIMATION IS SAVED Did it really need saving?
