Chapter 1046 A Different National Competition

The movie "Bears of the Lost Treasure" was released and attracted a lot of attention from the media.

Although the box office performance and attendance rate were mediocre three days before the premiere, these media bloggers still gave positive comments.

It's not about getting paid.

Neither Wanbao nor Gu Miao would do such a thing as stuffing money to buy good reviews. After all, no matter how good the word-of-mouth is bought, it will be a mirror image after all.

The appearance of good reviews is still due to the excellent quality of the movie "Bears of the Lost Treasure", as well as the simple and complete, funny and moving plot design.

All audiences who have watched the film, whether men, women or children, are full of praise.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that with the arrival of July, the summer vacation has officially kicked off. With its excellent word-of-mouth performance and sufficient film screening rate guarantee, "Bear the Lost Treasure" will definitely make the movie box office take off.

The bad news is that due to the downturn in the few days before the premiere, the theaters are already considering whether it is possible to reduce the number of films for "Bear the Lost Treasure"?

Movie theaters are open for business.

Before the release, for Wanbao's sake, "Bears of the Lost Treasure" was overscheduled.

However, after the release, the attendance rate of the film has not increased, which also makes the theaters a little worried. After all, there are so many empty seats, why not use them to show other new films!
Gu Miao's hard-talking was the only way to stabilize the fluctuating representatives of the theaters and temporarily keep the screening rate of "Bears of the Lost Treasure".

But the theater also said.

The oversubscription of "Bears of the Lost Treasure" will last at most one week. If the attendance rate is still so low in the next few days, then the filming rate must be adjusted downward.

"A week is enough!"

Du Hao said with a smile: "In fact, since yesterday, the attendance rate of the movie has already increased significantly."

The holiday season is here!
The holiday time of each province is not the same, but in any case, there will be a holiday in July.

As soon as the children have a holiday, the attendance rate of "Bear the Lost Treasure" will inevitably take off, and the box office trend of the movie will inevitably usher in a major turning point as the attendance rate increases.

Let me mention it by the way.

Although the attendance rate of "Bear the Lost Treasure" was not high in the few days before the premiere, the performance was a bit sluggish, but the screening rate is on the table. No matter how low the performance is, it is not the existence of other films that can beat the porcelain.

"Bears of the Lost Treasure" was released in just three days, and its cumulative box office has exceeded 1.5 million.

Although this box office is all due to over-scheduling, and the actual attendance rate is terrible, the average daily box office increase of 5000 million is already one of the top hit films in the same period.

Du Hao was very satisfied with this.

After all, the box office in the past few days was purely for Tu Yile, and the children were not on holiday, so the 1.5 million box office is no different from what was picked for nothing.

Since the beginning of July, the box office of the movie "Bears of the Lost Treasure" has really started to explode. If there is no accident, the cumulative box office must be at least 10 billion.

……

After the movie was released, Gu Miao stopped paying attention to the follow-up situation of "Bears of the Lost Treasure".

Do not misunderstand!
It's not that he doesn't care about the film's follow-up box office trend, nor does it mean that he doesn't pay attention to the first big movie of Bears, but that he has other things to do.

For example, the rebroadcast of "Yangcun Guardian".

After a month-long update broadcast, the animation "Yangcun Guardian" finally ushered in the final ending.

Precisely.

In fact, there is not even a month. As early as 10 days ago, the last episode of the animation "Guardian of Yangcun" was lifted and updated on the Wanbao video website.

It's just that the characteristic of online animation is that as long as the website is updated, whether it's twelve o'clock in the noon or three or four in the morning, viewers can watch it anytime they want, regardless of time and region.

This also leads to...

Even though the ending of "Yangcun Guardian" was updated very early, there is still a large audience, and it took four or five days to see it.

Ten days is a critical time.

During these ten days, the viewers who should watch have basically seen the ending, while the viewers who haven't finished watching it may be because they are too busy or simply forgot.

Excluding those viewers who have not watched the animation until now, it can be said that "Guardian of Yangcun" has ended its premiere on the network platform, and it can be considered to replay.

Naturally, the online platform does not need to replay the video, after all, the video is posted online, and viewers who want to watch it a second time can click in to watch it at any time.

Gu Miao's so-called rebroadcast is mainly aimed at the TV platform.

"The speed of network development in China, although it is considered to be very fast, ranks among the top in the world."

Gu Miao pondered: "But we must also notice that in remote rural areas or mountainous areas, there are still many children who do not have the conditions to enjoy the online world. Television is still the only way for them to get in touch with animation."

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Mr. Gu's words have touched the key point, and he also revealed the main reason why "Yangcun Guardian" is rebroadcasted on the TV platform.

coverage!
The network platform covers a wide range. After all, there are so many netizens in the country. Whether it is a computer or a smart phone, the penetration rate has reached an astonishing level.

But can the online platform really cover every corner of the motherland, including children in remote mountainous areas?
I'm afraid it can't be done.

In order for those children to also see the animation "Yangcun Guardian", it is imperative to log on to the TV platform for rebroadcast.

This matter has been discussed.

As the children's cartoon channel with the highest national coverage and the widest audience, CCTV Children's Channel will be the best choice for rebroadcasting "Yangcun Guardian".

Another children's channel?

Although their bids are high and they are more sincere, their coverage rate is not as wide as that of CCTV Children!
Take the well-known Shonan Children's Channel as an example. As one of the top children's cartoon channels in China, backed by the big tree of Shonan Satellite TV, it is reasonable to say that the coverage is wide enough.

But the problem is...

In some relatively remote mountainous areas or rural areas, satellite TV pots just cannot receive the signal of the Shonan Children's Channel.

What should I do?

Satellite TV pots have not been banned at the moment, and most viewers in rural areas watch TV through such small pots.

The disadvantage of this kind of satellite cooker is well known that some channels cannot be received, especially TV channels with strong regional characteristics, which cannot be watched after a few provinces.

On the contrary, CCTV, especially CCTV's flagship channels such as CCTV One, Children's Channel and News Channel, not only covers the whole country, but even if you go abroad, you may be able to receive the signal.

That coverage is outrageous...

It was based on this consideration that Gu Miao did not choose Red Crane Cartoon or Shonan Children's, which were more sincere and offered higher prices, but chose CCTV Children's.

After all, it doesn't matter if you have less money, the key is that the animation should be seen by more audiences!

……

In addition to the summer vacation in July, there is another big event that the children are very interested in.

Wanbao Cup National Competition!
As a derivative event of the animation "The Prince of Tennis", the Wanbao Cup National High School Tennis Competition has been held twice so far, and the third one will be held in July this year.

In the three competitions, countless tennis geniuses emerged.

The event, which was originally unknown and received little attention, has become more and more popular, and it has become a nationally recognized tennis event.

Not just the whole country...

It is said that in foreign countries, there are also many tennis fans who like to watch the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament, and some professional players even travel thousands of miles to watch the match live.

The high popularity of the event has also attracted many sponsors for this event.

Lao Zhang told Gu Miao that in the previous two national competitions, very few companies were willing to sponsor, and basically relied on Wanbao Group for support.

But starting this year, more and more sports brands have paid attention to the "Wanbao Cup Tennis Competition", actively sponsoring the event and funding certain school teams.

Take the well-known sneaker brands Naidi and Akdas as examples. These two top sports brands in the world have expressed their intention to sponsor the Wanbao Cup National Competition.

It's just that they require that once they accept the sponsorship, the players must wear their brand of jerseys and sneakers, and no other brands are allowed.

This rule made Gu Miao feel bad. After all, the contestants are all students, so they can wear whatever they like, can you control it?
Therefore, Wanbao rejected the sponsorship of these two big names.

But the other party is not discouraged, since the event officials do not accept sponsorship, then go sponsor the teams below!Naidi sponsored Beijing Foreign Language Middle School, and Akdas sponsored last year's national runner-up Qiushi Middle School...

Not only were the sponsors pouring in, but the national competition, which was only broadcast live on the Wanbao video website before, was sold out this year.

Didn't expect?

CCTV [-] was very interested in broadcasting the event, so they approached Wanbao to negotiate and won the broadcasting rights at a price of half sell and half free.

National competition only!
They are not very interested in the East China competition, the provincial and municipal competitions, and the so-called regional qualifiers before the national competition.

The TV broadcast is only available in the national competition stage. According to CCTV, the previous competitions are not worth broadcasting. Watching the online video is enough.

"What about the World Championship?"

"World Championship?"

"That's right! We, Wanbao, are actively communicating with overseas tennis associations, planning to hold a world-class tennis tournament for middle school students."

This is not Gu Miao's whim.

In fact, he never thought about organizing the World Championships at all, let alone the so-called active communication.

The main reason is that some overseas middle schools want to participate as they see the popularity of the Wanbao Cup.But the Wanbao Cup is a domestic competition, how can foreign schools be allowed to participate?

So Lao Zhang suggested that the competition mode of the Wanbao Cup should be copied to several interested foreign countries. At that time, the champion and runner-up of each country's national competition can participate in the final world competition.

This is the so-called World Championship.

The nature is similar to the U17 World Cup in "The Prince of Tennis", but the U17 World Cup is a confrontation between national teams, while the Wanbao Cup World Championship is still mainly a confrontation between "schools".

Moreover, the contestants are also limited to junior high school students. High school students cannot participate. If they want to participate, they must participate in the World Youth Championship.

"That's a good idea!"

"The World Championship can also be televised, but how many months do you plan to hold the World Championship?"

"next year!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "The World Championship will definitely not be held this year, and it will probably not be held until next year."

"Then let's talk about it next year."

CCTV was very interested in Gu Miao's so-called World Championship, especially the accompanying CCTV journalists, keenly aware that this might be a great news material.

No matter who wins or loses, such a competition involving cross-border confrontation will definitely attract the attention of the whole people, and the popularity will be many times higher than that of a national competition.

Proper big news!

After seeing off the visiting guests and finalizing the TV broadcast, this year's national competition officially started at the Jiangchuan Feiyang Stadium.

In this year's national competition, there were no dark horses from previous years, and the schools that advanced to the top 16 were basically strong schools that had achieved results in the previous two sessions.

It is worth mentioning that, as last year's national champion and this year's defending champion, Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School's performance in the knockout stage is really impressive.

You won't really want to defend your title, will you?
Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School, led by student Shen Chao, performed extremely well under the premise of replacing most of the main players.

Many professionals have asserted that if other schools did not hide their strength, Jiangchuan No. 100 Middle School would [-]% defend their title this year.

"so boring!"

Ma Kui, who accompanied Mr. Gu to watch the game, yawned and said, "6-0, this strength is too crushing."

"really……"

Gu Miao nodded.

His expression was a little embarrassed, as if he didn't expect that the strength gap of this year's participating teams would be so exaggerated.

In the national competitions in the past two years, dark horses appeared frequently, and the confrontation between schools was back and forth. There was rarely a one-sided situation, and basically all five rounds were played.

But this year is a little different.

The strength gap between the teams is too great, and there have been four consecutive 3:0 opponents in the knockout round.

This kind of game is really boring to watch. After all, are you here to watch the crushing game?Can you have a bit of an upset show?

It is impossible to be upset.

With such a big gap in hard power, plus the fact that the newcomers of Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School have made rapid progress under the guidance of student Shen Chao, it is difficult for any team to stop them from winning the championship.

Just when Gu Miao thought that this year's national competition would be the most boring one, a middle school from North America proposed an application for a friendly exchange match with the national champion, which aroused Gu Miao's interest.

"Friendly match?"

"It is said to be a friendly match, but it is actually here to smash the field."

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The other party is not kind, do you need me to reject them?"

"No, promise them!"

Gu Miao said thoughtfully: "They want to spoil the scene and take down our national champion's limelight, but I don't think Jiangchuan No. [-] Middle School will necessarily lose."

If it was an exchange match like this two years ago, the result might not be easy to say.

After all, at that time, the domestic tennis environment was very poor, and there were not many talented teenagers emerging, so it was normal for them not to be able to beat others.

But it's different now. The current domestic tennis environment has become very good, and the strength of the national champion should not be underestimated. With a BUG player like Shen Chao in charge, the exchange match may not necessarily lose.

Gu Miao has great confidence in Shen Chao.

He felt that this exchange match might not necessarily be lost. Since there was a possibility of winning, why didn't he agree?
If he wins, wouldn't the Wanbao Cup Tennis Tournament be able to take this opportunity to promote it to the whole world?
