Chapter 630 A New Box Office Record for Mainland Film History Animated Films

"Kung Fu Panda" directly broke the box office record of domestic animation films in the history of mainland movies with a box office of 3800 million yuan in the first week of its release in the mainland!

Douban's score is also as high as 9.2 points, and the number of comments exceeds 12000. It is an absolute classic!
The box office and word-of-mouth both exploded, which can be said to have directly shocked the entire mainland!
However, Chen Hao is not satisfied with the astonishing box office results of "Kung Fu Panda" in the first week, because he knows that the limit of "Kung Fu Panda" is far beyond that.

Therefore, Chen Hao asked to continue to strengthen the promotion of "Kung Fu Panda".

Chen Hao remembered that after many movies in his previous life became popular, some "real behind-the-scenes tidbits" would often be released.

It took ten years of preparation, the script was changed several times, the manuscript was thousands of pages long, the filming was almost impossible to complete due to insufficient investment, and so on.

So Chen Hao asked Chang Hongsong to disclose some tidbits of the production process of "Kung Fu Panda" to the media.

So, soon the media broke out a lot of behind-the-scenes of "Kung Fu Panda".

For example, the master's five apprentices (crane, praying mantis, tiger, monkey, and snake) were inspired by the five famous styles of Chinese martial arts.

The two characters Shao Da and Shao Er in the film are a tribute to the Hong Kong Shaw Brothers film company that produced many kung fu movies in the 70s.

When making the back of the mantis, the animator referred to the element of "Shou" in Chinese culture, and even wrote a round "Shou" character on the back of the mantis.

The most magnificent set in the film - "Emerald Palace" was built from as many as 88100 components.

Just to make the scene where Panda Po rides into the air on the "rocket chair", as many as 54 visual special effects such as "arrow fire", "light effect", "blasting" and "firework trajectory" were used at the same time.

When Snow Leopard Taro attacked Po, he raised a thick layer of dust and caused an explosion with a total of 33588526 particles of dust.

During acupuncture, 133 needles were inserted into the back of the panda, and there were as many as 6019 feathers on the spirit crane in "Furious Five".

There are 953593 pieces of chair fragments that Bao used firecrackers to blow up, and 37517 petals were submerged by Master Turtle when he was dying.

……

The release of these tidbits once again aroused a burst of amazement from everyone, especially on the Internet.

From martial arts to time travel: Seeing these long series of numbers makes my scalp tingle. This is the most fundamental reason why "Kung Fu Panda" can succeed!
Feng Yuhong: No wonder it took 4 years, it really is slow work and meticulous work!
Feel free to 777: There is obviously a reason why Haotian special effects can become the leader of special effects in the mainland.

Du Tianzi: If the domestic animation films in the past had such patience and dedication, how could they be as messed up as they are now?
I'm a miser: Haotian's special effects are so hard, we have to work hard, I'll go to the second brush to support it!
……

Of course, there are also those who question the authenticity of the data of "Kung Fu Panda", but there is no splash at all amidst the praise.

And after a week of its release, a large number of film reviews about "Kung Fu Panda" have been released.

"The difference between "Kung Fu Panda" and other cartoons is that its audience has many non-family audiences, especially in the night show when it is released.

The defining concept of the film is "talking animals, striving to realize their dreams". This kind of theme has been tried and tested in the film market, and it is very attractive to children.

But "Kung Fu Panda" also attracts young male audiences, of which more than 17% are over 70 years old. "

("Yangcheng Daily" review)

"The film well interprets the essence of Chinese Kung Fu, and each character has a distinct personality.

The wisdom of the tortoise master, the thoughts of the master, the persistence of Po, the intelligence and bravery of the fierce tiger, the kindness of the spirit crane, the calmness of the golden monkey, the kindness of the spirit snake, the enthusiasm of the fast mantis, the bravery and cruelty of Taro, Mr. Ping Wisdom and cowardice of a mountain steward.

There are also a lot of jokes brought by Abao.

The film tells the audience that in order to be successful, they must build their own self-confidence.There are also warning points in this film, for example, the master's doting on Taro led to the tragedy. "

……

Amid all the praise and praise, the North American box office of "Kung Fu Panda" also spread to China, which once again sparked a wave of heated discussion and amazement.

"The opening weekend in North America was 6023 million US dollars! "Kung Fu Panda" won the top box office rankings in North America!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"US$6023 million! "Kung Fu Panda" breaks the global box office record for domestic animation films in the first three days!"-- Netease Entertainment
""Kung Fu Panda" became the first domestic animation film to win the North American weekly box office champion!" --Film 1905
……

The box office of 3800 million yuan in the mainland has already shocked the Chinese people, and the box office of 6023 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America, which is about 4.93 million yuan, directly shocked everyone!

Fax. : This is fake news, right?

Red Copper 1982: Are you sure the unit is US dollars?Not Vietnamese Dong?

Fu Jing SKY: "Kung Fu Panda" is awesome this time!Haotian's special effects are also awesome!
……

Various news and reports in the media and the Internet have made "Kung Fu Panda" the hottest topic and movie at the moment, and everyone has been surrounded by its news whether they like it or not.

That is to say, under such circumstances, another week has passed.

There are only 2 new films released in the mainland this week, "Hanoi, Hanoi" and "Serial Bureau".

However, the impact of these two films on the box office rankings can be described as negligible.

Soon, the next week's box office of "Kung Fu Panda" will be released!
"6500 million RMB! "Kung Fu Panda" swept the mainland movie world!" ---Movie 1905
"The next week's 6500 million yuan, "Kung Fu Panda" strongly won the weekly box office champion!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"RMB 1.03 million in two weeks! "Kung Fu Panda" surpassed "Garfield 2" and set a new box office record for animated films in mainland movie history!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
"10 million in 1.03 days! "Kung Fu Panda" became the second film in mainland China to break 2007 million at the box office in 2!"-- Netease Entertainment
……

The next week's 6500 million yuan, this box office performance ranked 7th in the mainland's single-week box office rankings, and 3rd in the next week's box office rankings!
And 1.03 million, making "Kung Fu Panda" enter the 1 million club, and at the same time become the first animated film in the mainland with a box office of over [-] million!

There is no doubt that the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" has exceeded everyone's expectations, and it is getting more and more outrageous!

Huayi.

Xiao Wang looked at the report and frowned, "What's wrong with this world? Can an animated movie sell for [-] million?"

The king also shook his head helplessly, "Before I thought that Haotian would lose a fortune because of "Kung Fu Panda", who would have thought that this would happen? This Chen Hao is really evil!"

"Yeah, just looking at this situation, the animated film with Haotian's special effects will definitely reap the box office, and even went abroad to collect money in North America. That's US dollars." Xiao Wang envied and hated.

The king paused when he heard the words, and then said, "Tell me, did the animated movie make a head start?"

""Kung Fu Panda" must have made a profit. It doesn't matter if the investment is large, but the cycle is too long. After all, it will take 4 years! With this time and energy, we can make at least 4 movies." Xiao Wang Said.

The king nodded when he heard the words, and suppressed the impulse in his heart for animated movies, "However, the role of special effects in movies is becoming more and more obvious. We must also be prepared in this regard, so as not to be controlled by others in the future."

After hearing this, Xiao Wang nodded and said, "That's true, but it seems that the talents in this field in the mainland have been surrounded by Haotian's special effects."

"It's okay, it's just to poach the wall. Loyalty is only because the bargaining chip for betrayal is not enough." The king laughed.

"That's right, hahaha..." Xiao Wang couldn't help laughing when he thought of Chen Hao's panic after being poached.

……

Chengtian.

"What do you think of Kung Fu Panda and Haotian's special effects?" Wu Kebo frowned as he read the report.

"The box office of "Kung Fu Panda" is indeed a bit unbelievable, but the success is inseparable from the large investment and time-consuming, and "Kung Fu Panda" is obviously completely different from the previous domestic animations." Wang Jinhua replied.

"These are not problems. You must know that "Kung Fu Panda" has sold more than 6000 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. This is a great improvement for Haotian's brand." Wu Kebo sighed.

As soon as Wang Jinhua heard it, he knew that Wu Ke had changed his mind about making animated films. After all, money was not a big problem for Wu Kebo. What Chengtian lacked most now was popular film and television dramas and influence.

After thinking about it, Wang Jinhua said, "If you want to make an animated film, the key is those talents in animation and special effects. In this regard, we are completely incomparable with Haotian."

"There is no way to compare, but to compare." Wu Kebo said, "Since there are ready-made talents, then go and invite them."

……

When Chen Hao came to Haotian Special Effects to see the production progress of "Pacific Rim", he found that everyone was beaming and full of energy.

"How is the production going?" Chen Hao asked.

"Ah! Mr. Chen!" Tian Xiaopeng saw that it was Chen Hao, and immediately stood up and shouted, "Hurry up, our side may be finished on the 20th."

"What about the Vita Digital side?" Chen Hao asked.

"They should be until the end of the month." Tian Xiaopeng replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "I think everyone is very excited!"

"Can you not be excited, once the four-year wish comes true, excitement is inevitable." Tian Xiaopeng laughed.

"Well, you should be happy, but don't delay the production of the other two animation films." Chen Hao said.

"Don't worry, Director Chen, we will definitely fulfill our mission!" Tian Xiaopeng said, "And I will submit my proposal at the end of the year."

"As long as you can pass and you are busy, then I have no problem." Chen Hao nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Chen!" Tian Xiaopeng said excitedly.

"President Chen is here!" Chang Hongsong walked over with a smile and said.

"It's a happy event!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Chang Hongsong laughed again when he heard the words, "Not only is "Kung Fu Panda" a big hit at the box office, but also we have finally reached a cooperation agreement with many colleges and universities to entrust training.

In addition, in the past two days, there have been a lot more talents and enthusiasts in animation and special effects who have submitted their resumes. "

"It seems that there are still many talents in the mainland who have not joined Haotian special effects!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Yes, there is always a pearl in the dust." Chang Hongsong laughed, "However, now that "Kung Fu Panda" has become a hit, I am confident that Haotian Special Effects will become the West Point Whampoa in the mainland special effects industry!"

"I hope you can do what you say." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

It should be possible to monopolize the production of special effects in the mainland in the short term, but it will not work in the long run. After all, the importance of special effects in future movies will be more and more magnified, especially the rampage of Marvel superheroes around the world, which is the best footnote.

But if the special effects talents in the Mainland and even Asia are all from Haotian Special Effects in the future, it would be awesome to think about it!

After leaving Haotian Special Effects, Chen Hao returned to his office, and then found a message from Smart, which should be about the box office of "Kung Fu Panda".

Speaking of the explosive box office of "Kung Fu Panda", it not only amazed the mainland, but also completely confused Smart.

Before "Kung Fu Panda" was released, Smart's box office expectations for this domestic animation film in China were not high, but the box office of the film's first weekend surprised Smart.

It's different now. Smart regards "Kung Fu Panda" as his heart and soul, and he highly respects and praises it.

It may also be because the company is burdened with huge debts, and the previous "Dead Silence" ushered in a black door, so Smart felt a little stressed.

Now there is finally a place to vent.

North American weekend box office list (2007.6.8-2007.6.10):
No. 1, "Thirteen Oceans", released for 3 days, weekend box office of 3710 million US dollars, Warner Bros., cumulative box office of 3710 million US dollars, 3565 theaters;

Now directed by Soderbergh, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Al Pitt and other stars co-starred in the third part of the thief series "Thirteen Oceans" also came, and won the North American weekend for $3 million box office champion.

It has to be said that series of movies are the most profitable.

At the same time, "Kung Fu Panda" only finished second with a gap of US$349 million. It is a pity that it failed to achieve two consecutive championships in the weekend box office rankings in North America!

However, "Kung Fu Panda" won another 5705 million US dollars in the next week, and the box office successfully exceeded [-] million!

"Kung Fu Panda" has also become the first Chinese animated film with a box office of over [-] million US dollars in North America and the world!
　Thanks to "Du Tianzi" and "I'm a miser" for their 100 rewards!
