Post-shadow Development Plan

In terms of popularity, the effect in Europe and the United States is not as good as that in Japan.

Faced with such a result, Qiye personally felt the shrinking of the European and American comics industry.

[It’s no wonder that in the future, Marvel’s comics department will be directly overshadowed by the film and television department. With this industry scale, it is a question of whether there is even one ten-thousandth of the film and television department. 】

"How do readers react to the manga?" Qiye asked the host.

"So far, the response has been pretty good. Everyone thinks the story of fate is very novel and interesting."

The host looked at the materials and said.

"What about the popularity ranking?"

"No matter which version, the highest one is Saber." The host replied, "But the second one is Rin Tosaka for Japan, and Shirou Emiya for Europe and the United States."

"The reason?"

"Shirou's heroism is more popular in Europe and the United States. After all, Europe and the United States generally like such character designs now."

It has not been five years since the plane crashed into the building. Affected by this terrorist attack disaster, North America now prefers the character image of Spider-Man who is brave enough to take responsibility and selflessly save others.

This is determined by the current North American social atmosphere.

"Should we add a little bit of Saber and Shirou Emiya to the movie?"

One of the Eagle Peak executives made a suggestion of his own.

Qiye recalled her own version 3.0, then shook her head and said: "In the current version, the roles of several protagonists have been balanced. Adding a character's role rashly will disrupt the rhythm of the narrative."

"So, are you sure it's the current version?"

Shion confirmed to Nanaya.

"Well, judging from the audience feedback from the current test screenings, no more changes are needed."

Qiye nodded and replied: "The next step is to submit to the MPAA for review and finalize the scale of the screen."

"Yes, then it means that the next round of planning can start."

Ziyuan nodded, and she handed over a document to Qiye.

"This is the feedback given by the North American Theater Alliance."

Qiye glanced at it, and it was basically all the evaluations of Fate by major theaters in North America.

Most of it is mistrust of the film.

Only some theaters with IMAX theaters said that they would guarantee Fate's film schedule in IMAX halls.

However, in Qiye's view, the greater possibility is because of this time period. If IMAX does not release Fate, it will have to be empty.

It is better to have a film showing than to close the theater. After all, the maintenance cost of IMAX playback equipment is not cheap.

Seven nights can understand the theater's concerns.

After all, theaters are first and foremost commercial companies, not charitable organizations.

The ultimate goal of commercial companies is to make money, so commercial interests are what these people look at.

For a new IP without any fan base, theaters will of course question its commercial value.

This is a very normal result.

Even if Qiye has proved himself in the North American market, he will still be doubted.

When it came to "Goblin Slayer", the theaters would cooperate with Jiufeng and Lin Bao's publicity plan, because the publisher's hunger marketing strategy didn't require the theaters to take too much risk.

But this time Jiufeng asked for a large-scale screening, which made the theaters a little hesitant.

You must know that there are too many examples of well-known directors overturning their boats. Among other things, think about how cool MGM is?

Because of the complete failure of "Wind Talker", North American theaters are now very conservative towards the works of Asian directors, and even Qiye has been implicated.

This kind of thing is not aimed at Qiye alone, even if it is a project of the Big Six, if there is a risk of distribution, the theaters will become extremely cautious.

For example, "Batman: Begins", which is scheduled to be released a month earlier than fate, because of the influence of the bad movie "Batman and Robin" in 97, the scale of the opening is completely incomparable with the "Harry Potter" series .

You must know that this is a movie released by Warner, which is currently the top six, and the protagonist is the most popular comic book character in North America.

However, the theater chain just refused to enter, and refused to expand the scale of the first round of screenings.

It can be seen that the conservativeness of the North American theaters is serious.

"Therefore, the theaters said that the test screening is imperative."

Ziyuan said to Qiye, "At the same time, we also need to use the trial screenings to accumulate audience reputation and create momentum for publicity."

Nanaya is confident in his films, but he's never been a pompous idiot.

Fate's fan base is too low, and multiple trial screenings are indeed conducive to word-of-mouth promotion.

"How many test screenings do you plan to plan?" Qiye asked.

"At least two more times." Ziyuan said, wringing her fingers, "once for representatives of North American theaters, and once for media comments. If necessary, you can come to the audience for a few more test screenings."

As for the theater chains in Japan, there is no such need at all, because Jiufeng has already bought several small theater chains and integrated them.

There is no need to worry about the number of screens in the first round of Fate's opening in Japan.
