These films have huge fans, also known as fan movies. Among them, "Tomb Notes" was spit out by a lot of original powder after it was released because the film was too different from the original.
Ren Zhonglun, the producer of the film "Tomb Notes": The original image of "Tomb Notes" IP is that it has great influence. The most fortunate thing is that the screenwriter has found Nanpai’s uncle, because if you change someone, you may vomit even more. Because it was adapted by Nanpai’s uncle (the original author), he can inherit some essence of the original novel, and he made a brand-new interpretation based on his understanding of the subject ten years later.
At present, the cumulative box office of Tomb Raider Notes exceeds 900 million, and it is temporarily ranked as the box office champion in the summer of 2016. However, since the film Love O2O was released, it has suffered serious malicious piracy.
