Entertainment from Divorce

Dixie Animation Productions, USA.

Snapped!
Damian Dixie slapped the table with a loud slap and a ferocious look on his face.

“Can anyone tell me why there is such a huge gap between the box office performances of the two films?”

Damian Dixie has been sitting in front of his computer, ready to check the box office for "The Pearl Princess."

As the main project he promoted after taking office, Damian Dixie attached great importance to "The Pearl Princess".

As long as this movie is successful, he will be able to suppress all the voices within the company that disobey him and successfully take over the company.

However, when Damian Dixie saw the box office results, he was furious and almost died of anger.

They are obviously animated films, and Dixie Animation is an old animation company.

But when the first day box office results came out, the difference was more than double.

Damian Dixie couldn't figure out what was wrong with their movie.

There was silence in the meeting room, and no one dared to face the president's anger.

Seeing that no one spoke in the conference room, Damian Dixie's hawk-like eyes swept across the conference room and then looked at director Harrison Pierce.

"Harrison, tell me, why did this happen?"

Damian Dixie shouted coldly, directly mentioning Harrison Pierce's name.

When Harrison Pierce heard the president speak, his body trembled and a solemn look flashed across his face.

Harrison Pierce stammered, "President, this is because the audience doesn't understand our art..."

Harrison Pierce started to speak, but his voice became smaller and smaller because he found that Damian Dixie's gaze was becoming more and more fierce.

"I think we shouldn't have released our film at the same time as Tan Yue's from the beginning!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the conference room.

Everyone looked over and found that the person who spoke was a vice president of Dixie Company.

The meeting room was extremely quiet and no one agreed.

The strategy of using "The Pearl Princess" to promote the film by copying "Kung Fu Panda" was personally decided by Damian Dixie.

By saying this, the vice president was effectively accusing Damian Dixie of dereliction of duty.

The battles among the top executives of these companies are not something that small employees like them can participate in.

Damian Dixie's eyes narrowed and his expression turned grim.

He was originally not optimistic about the animated film directed by Tan Yue, thinking that this was a good opportunity for publicity.

But he didn't expect that the animated film directed by Tan Yue would be so excellent, directly surpassing the "Pearl Princess" that he had strongly promoted.

In this way, the original achievement turned into a mistake, which is likely to affect his management of Dixie Animation Company.

After all, he is the new president, and many people in the company are still dissatisfied.

Damian Dixie rolled his eyes, looked at Harrison Pierce again, and said coldly.

"Harrison, you have to take the main responsibility for the box office failure of The Pearl Princess. You should not come to work in the company for the time being."

When Harrison Pierce heard this, his face changed and he immediately understood Damian Dixie's thoughts.

This is to take the blame himself so that he can get rid of it.

You want me to take the blame? I won't serve you anymore!
Harrison Pierce swallowed his anger and said directly: "Okay, I get it!"

The meeting ended unpleasantly and Harrison Pierce went straight home.

DreamWorks Animation Production Company.

"Hahaha, it really is the right decision to work with Director Tan Yue. A famous director's work is always amazing!"

Glen Daniel looked excited.

He also didn't expect that Kung Fu Panda would perform so well.

What made him even happier was that his rival, Dixie Animation Productions, failed, had poor box office performance on the first day, and its reputation began to collapse.

The employees of DreamWorks hurriedly said, "This is all because the CEO was wise and chose to work with Director Tan Yue!"

These employees also have many emotions in their hearts.

At that time, Glen Daniel chose to go directly to Beijing to sign the contract, which many people did not understand.

But judging from the results, Glen Daniel's choice was quite correct.

If Glen Daniel had not decisively gone to Beijing to negotiate cooperation, there would not be the current prosperous situation.

Glen Daniel's face was full of smiles as he listened to his men's compliments.

He smiled and said, "The next publicity work in the United States must be completed with guaranteed quality and quantity."

Glen Daniel's eyes narrowed, and he continued, "Also, keep smearing "The Pearl Princess" on the Internet. I want to make this movie hit rock bottom. This is a great opportunity for DreamWorks to become the number one animation company in the United States!"

"Yes, boss!" the employees said immediately.

After giving these instructions, Glen Daniel remembered something and asked his employees, "By the way, how is the preparation for Kung Fu Panda's Oscar competition going?"

After hearing what Glen Daniel said, someone immediately spoke up.

"We have already signed up to participate and have lobbied the jury. There will be no problem in getting shortlisted."

Listening to his subordinates' report, Glen Daniel smiled and nodded, "Very good, I will personally report the good news to Director Tan Yue after I get the results!"

……

After the box office results were announced, discussions on the Internet were quite heated.

On Twitter, many people are discussing it enthusiastically.

One fan directly tweeted: "Kung Fu Panda's first day box office was 253 million US dollars. Did it break the first day box office record for animated films?"

Soon, there were comments below: "Broken, broken! Director Tan Yue is amazing, he has broken the record several times, this record is nothing!"

"It's just a record, what's that? I feel like Director Tan Yue is going to break the record for animated films in film history!"

"It's really possible. I'm afraid we are about to witness history."

"Witness history? How many times have we witnessed history? Just believe in Director Tan Yue!"

Amid the heated discussion, some people also discussed the opponent of "Kung Fu Panda".

"Does anyone care about "Princess Pearl"? It's also a good animated movie!"

As soon as this tweet came out, it immediately attracted many comments.

"'Princess Pearl' is a good animated film, but this is a piece of shit in the history of animated films. There is no animated film worse than this."

"Yes, there will be an animated film like "Pearl Princess". This is simply the sadness of animation filmmakers!"

"You are all wrong. 'Princess Pearl' is the real animated film. It is a great film. You just don't know how to appreciate it!"

Soon, many negative reviews of "The Pearl Princess" appeared on the Internet.

The general public's perception of "The Pearl Princess" became increasingly negative, and its reputation declined rapidly.

"Kung Fu Panda" won the first place in the box office on the first day, and it was hotly discussed on the overseas Internet and also received extensive coverage in China.

"Movie News: Today, the official website of the International Cultural Center announced the box office results in advance. As expected, the first place is the new animated film "Kung Fu Panda" directed by Tan Yue, which earned 253 million US dollars worldwide on the first day. According to the data, this result has broken the first-day box office record for animated films in film history. Let us look forward to the final box office of this movie!"

"Entertainment News: Kung Fu Panda grossed $253 million on its first day of release, far exceeding The Pearl Princess, which was released on the same day. The competition between the two films is clear, and the online reviews are even more polarized."

"Southern Entertainment: After the first day box office results were announced, Kung Fu Panda has more than doubled the box office of The Pearl Princess. The two movies are not even in the same league. When The Pearl Princess was first released, it boasted that it would compete with Kung Fu Panda, but now it seems like a futile attempt!"

Various media outlets are rushing to report on it, and the box office performance of "Kung Fu Panda" has become the biggest topic today.

At this time, the group of leaders of the Tan Yue Fan Support Club was also very lively, and many people were forwarding news from various media.

The discussion in the group was even more heated, with messages almost flooding the screen.

"Number one at the box office, this is the strength of Teacher Tan Yue, who dares to question it?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Haha, I knew that Mr. Tan Yue would not fail. None of the movies he shot were bad!"

"The Pearl Princess wants to compete with our teacher Tan Yue. It's really overestimating its own capabilities. I think their reputation is bad and the subsequent box office will definitely fail."

"That's right, 'Pearl Princess' itself is a bad movie. If it weren't for copying Teacher Tan Yue, who would know about this crappy movie!"

"I heard that Dixie Animation has been under a lot of criticism. With this failure, I'm afraid they will lose their title as the top animation company in the United States."

"That's what they deserve!"

"Happy, happy!"

"Let's not talk about that unlucky thing. What do you think the box office performance of Kung Fu Panda will be? Will it break the box office record for animated films?"

"It should be possible. The number one animated film at the box office right now is Dixie Animation's "Frozen," but it only grossed 1.984 billion U.S. dollars."

"It seems that Kung Fu Panda can definitely make history!"

Watching the discussion in the group, Zhuang Bailin's face flashed with excitement, and he felt a sense of honor.

Speaking of the current top-grossing animated film "Snow White", Zhuang Bailin also has an impression of it.

It is indeed an excellent animated film, well-made, with beautiful music, action and other aspects.

When it was released that year, it was a huge hit. It can be said that every girl has a dream of becoming an Ice Princess.

It can be said that Dixie Animation Productions was really strong at that time.

But it's completely different now.

"The Pearl Princess" is simply a piece of shit. No one who watches this movie would want to become the Black Pearl Princess.

Therefore, "Kung Fu Panda" has no rivals at all. Judging from the current first-day box office results, it will definitely surpass "Frozen" in the future and become the number one animated film in film history.

Zhuang Bailin was very sure in his heart.

She thought about it, picked up her phone and started typing.

"We ranked first on the first day. We have made a good start. Judging from the box office results, it should be the number one animated film in history. But we can't take it lightly. Everyone, please help us promote it. After all, the audience for animated films is limited, so we must do our best..."

After Zhuang Bailin sent this message, people in the group quickly responded.

"President, rest assured, we will not take it lightly!"

"You don't need to tell us, we are all doing it. We are very familiar with it!"

"Got it, President!"

Seeing everyone speaking enthusiastically, Zhuang Bailin felt very happy and directly sent a red envelope in the group.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Buy me a cup of milk tea."

As soon as the red envelopes appeared, they were snatched up in less than three seconds, and many people spread rumors.

“The president is generous!”

"Thank you, President!"

Zhuang Bailin smiled and continued, "Everyone should just promote the movie more!"

Then, Zhuang Bailin closed the group chat and opened Weibo.

There is also a heated discussion on Weibo, and everyone is very interested in "Kung Fu Panda".

"Director Tan Yue is amazing. It's number one at the box office again, and it broke records!"

"No surprise, no surprise at all. If Kung Fu Panda doesn't take first place, who else can take first place? If director Tan Yue doesn't take first place, that would be real news."

“Kung Fu Panda is really good. It is the best animated film I have ever seen.”

“Kung Fu Panda is great, and the pandas are so cute!”

Zhuang Bailin saw that there was a picture below this Weibo post.

Click on the large picture, and you will see a furry panda doll that looks adorable and is exactly the image of Po.

After seeing this doll, Zhuang Bailin's eyes lit up. She also felt that it was extremely cute and it touched her heart.

So, Zhuang Bailin quickly sent a private message to the person who posted on Weibo.

"Sister, where did you buy this Po doll?"

After hearing Zhuang Bailin's question, the other party quickly gave an answer.

"I bought this at the souvenir shop at the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base. There are not only Po dolls, but also many other characters. But I prefer Po."

A souvenir shop at the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base?

Do you still sell this kind of stuff?
Zhuang Bailin was extremely curious and started searching at this time.

Soon, Zhuang Bailin discovered that these peripheral dolls were being sold not only in the souvenir shop at the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base, but also in many other places.

"It's sold in the cinema? I guess I have to go watch Kung Fu Panda again!"

Zhuang Bailin had an idea and took a screenshot of the Weibo post and sent it to the group. Then he hurried out to watch "Kung Fu Panda" for the second time and also went to buy a doll.

The group was already very lively, and after Zhuang Bailin posted the picture, messages started to appear even faster.

"Wow, this doll is so cute, I want to buy it!"

"Yes, this panda is so cute. I heard that many places have started selling it. Our cinema has some for sale."

"Great, I was just about to go buy one."

"Me too, I'm going to watch Kung Fu Panda again!"

"I'm going too. Is there anyone in the capital? Let's go together!"

"I'm in Beijing, let's meet at the cinema!" (End of this chapter)
