City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 309 Go ahead! The stock price plummeted!

The box office of Kitten Porridge is up.

And Toy Story's box office dropped further.

The gap between the two sides has actually been narrowed.

This data surprised many people.

It's no surprise that Toy Story tanked at the box office.

After all, it has been five days since it was released.

The peak movie-going period has long passed, and it is normal for the box office to begin to decline.

But Kitty Porridge, a children's animation, has an uncharacteristically high box office on weekdays.

This is really outrageous.

After all, a child supplies animation, but when school starts, the box office rises.

It simply violates the laws of the market.

Beautiful Disneyland Corporation.

The president looked at the data on the table, his expression gloomy to the extreme.

In fact, the gap between the two sides is still a full 110 million.

This is a huge gap and nothing to worry about.

But the rising trend of Kitten Porridge was unacceptable to the CEO.

He even sternly asked his secretary, "Is China's box office fake? Their data is not trustworthy!"

"How is it possible that for a movie that is for the public, the box office does not fall but rises when it is not a holiday?"

"This is an insult to my intelligence!"

However, the secretary shook his head: "Sorry, President, the Chinese box office data we use is compiled by Hollywood."

"And the Chinese box office of Kitty Porridge only accounts for one-third of the total global box office."

"So the data should be fine."

Movies from beautiful countries are all exported through Hollywood.

For Hollywood movies exported to the Chinese market, the share will be settled according to a unified accounting method every year.

One year, Hollywood had questions about the split box office in China.

It was thought that it was less than expected, and there was a suspicion that it was stolen from the box office.

Questions have also been raised about certain taxes.

As a result, Hollywood began to calculate its own box office in China.

It's been several years now.

Hearing this, the president was slightly startled.

Since it is Hollywood data, it means that Little Cat Porridge will have no problem at the box office in China.

Naturally, there is no problem with the box office in other regions.

After all, he didn't think Xingchen Animation Company had the ability to influence so many markets.

He calmed himself down and looked at the analysis report carefully.

I want to know how the box office of the children's movie "Little Cat Porridge" bucked the trend and rose after the children started school.

Then he saw the viewing age report.

Yesterday, the proportion of Mao Mao Porridge's viewers aged between 20 and 30 years old reached 70%...

Globally, the relevant proportion has reached 60%.

This data made the CEO who had just calmed down completely unable to calm down and his pupils tightened.

For children's movies, 60% of young people around the world watch them.

What exactly is going on?

At this moment, the bad feeling in the president's heart became more and more intense.

He felt that this suppression would not go as smoothly as he imagined.

And if the suppression goes wrong, it will bring extremely serious consequences to Disney.

After all, just do nothing.

If the suppression is carried out in person, it has not had any obvious effect.

That will inevitably affect the market's confidence in Disney.

After all, Disney has come up with a sequel to its signature IP to snipe its opponents.

But even a children's animation cannot be suppressed.

It will inevitably disappoint many netizens and investors.

And this disappointment will soon be passed on to the stock market.

……

Star Academy.

The faces of the students in the Kitten Porridge production team were filled with unabashed joy at this moment.

Zuo Xue's delicate face was also full of smiles.

Since the release of Kitty Porridge, Toy Story has been suppressed in every aspect.

Although the students had already expected this situation.

But after all, they are young people, and they may not have no illusions in their hearts.

I’m looking forward to the release of Kitty Porridge, Toy Story, and a ride that will sweep them all away and set a record at the box office.

But unfortunately, the fantasy did not happen after all.

The box office of Kitten Porridge was very good on its first day.

It has been able to rank high in the domestic animation box office and film and television.

They have also made achievements that many domestic colleagues cannot achieve in their lifetime.

Moreover, the production cost of kitten porridge is not high.

Calculating the final revenue based on today's box office, the absolute rate of return is staggering.

But compared to Toy Story, the gap is too big after all.

Especially when I think that if there were no Toy Story, the box office of Kitten Porridge might be even higher.

This makes the students even more unhappy and frustrated with Disney.

Under this sentiment, we finally see an inflection point.

The students are naturally happy.

Toy Story had a brilliant start, but seemed to lack stamina.

As for My Little Cat Porridge, it seems to have become popular on the Internet a few days after it was released.

As on Monday there were many young people watching the kitty porridge.

Then they will share their viewing experience on the Internet or communicate with netizens.

This has caused the praise rate and popularity of Mao Mao Porridge to rise at the same time.

At the same time, many mainstream movie uploaders on the Internet have also begun to pay attention to or recommend the movie "Little Cat Porridge".

For example, Mu Yu Shui Xin, the most popular movie, Three Generations of Deer People, etc...

This has made the movie "Mao Mao Porridge" appear in front of more netizens.

Let netizens understand that Kitten Porridge is not a traditional children's movie as they thought.

This is a movie that is truly suitable for all ages.

These undoubtedly make the popularity of kitten porridge rise again.

On the Internet, sometimes popularity comes suddenly.

And once it comes, it will set off a trend.

Many couples have begun to consider Kitten Porridge as a movie-watching option.

Many single office workers also consider Cat Porridge as their leisure choice after get off work after seeing the recommendation.

And many middle-aged people who work overtime plan to take their families and children to see the kitten porridge when they have free time to cultivate family relationships.

Even on Xiaohongshu, Moments, Weibo, Douyin and other platforms, many people have begun to post photos of themselves watching kitten porridge...

Even this kind of scene does not only happen in China.

The same is true for many countries outside China.

After all, so far in the animation market, there has never been an animation movie like Kitten Porridge.

Most animated movies are basically in the Disney genre, talking about love, persistence, and thoughts.

Or it's more of a spoof, such as Minions and the like.

There are also animations that are completely for young children, like the big movie about Pleasant Goats and Bears.

It is definitely the first time that an anime movie like Kitten Porridge is so relaxing, interesting, and suitable for all ages. Audiences of all ages can find fun.

This naturally surprises the audience.

As a result, word-of-mouth quickly spread around the world.

then.

When the single-day box office figures were released on Tuesday, practitioners in the entire animation, film and television industry were shocked.

Because the box office of Mao Mao Porridge once again bucked the trend and rose.

It has reached a global single-day box office of 150 million yuan.

In contrast, Toy Story's single-day box office has dropped to 200 million.

The box office gap between the two parties is now only 50 million yuan.

This makes all practitioners doubtful.

Does Kitty Porridge really have a chance to surpass Toy Story at the box office in a single day?

If someone said this before June 1st, it would only make others laugh.

I think that even if it is just a single-day box office, there is absolutely no way that Kitten Porridge can surpass Toy Story.

After all, the two parties are not at the same level in terms of their background, scale, production strength, and investment amount.

What do you, Kitty Porridge, compare to Toy Story?

But now, watching the cat porridge has exploded on the global Internet.

Toy Story's reputation was not good, and its box office performance was even worse.

Everyone couldn't help but click their tongues...

Could this scene really happen?

Kitten Porridge is released simultaneously with Disney.

If there really is a day, Mao Mao Porridge will overtake the single-day box office.

That is definitely the most amazing news in the film and television industry.

After all, Disney is the god of animation.

This is like saying that there is a game company that makes more fun games than Nintendo. Just thinking about it makes people feel outrageous.

……

This also makes the industry pay more attention to the box office of these two works.

I wonder if Kitty Porridge can continue to maintain its momentum.

But on Wednesday.

Disney has released a ten-year remix of Toy Story.

A mix of the first four Toy Story movies.

It should be that he secretly bought traffic.

The video quickly became the top trending search topic on major global mainstream platforms.

Brushed a wave of memory kills.

Obviously, Disney is a little anxious...

And when Thursday comes.

Wednesday's box office announcement.

The entire industry went quiet.

Mao Mao Porridge reported a revenue of 17 million.

It means that the stamina of Kitten Porridge is still exerting force.

As for Toy Story's box office, many netizens entered the theater because of yesterday's wave of hot searches for flashback videos.

Therefore, the decline was barely stopped and remained at 200 million.

It has to be said that Disney has means.

But practitioners all know that Disney is a bit forced.

After all, marketing like "Memory Killing" usually makes the last profit when the box office is about to fall below 10 million.

Now he was forced out in advance.

It means that the stamina of Toy Story 5 will become even lower.

And memory-killing marketing also has backlash.

Audiences who entered the theater because of the memory kill, if the quality of the sequel is too poor.

It will inevitably make the audience feel cheated.

It has a great impact on word of mouth.

And as expected.

When the time came to Friday.

The global single-day box office figures were released on Thursday.

Many relevant practitioners have been waiting impatiently.

When you look at the data above.

All practitioners stared with wide eyes...

The box office of Kitty Porridge seemed to have hit the ceiling on Thursday.

It only increased by RMB 10 million and closed at RMB 180 million.

Toy Story's revenue was RMB 160 million.

Kitten Porridge beat Toy Story for the first time and topped the global single-day box office list.

The entire industry was shaken on this day.

After all, Mao Mao Porridge seemed to be winning for just one day.

But in reality, there was too much to win.

After all, the strength of both sides is unequal in all aspects.

Under such circumstances, it is simply a miracle that Mao Mao Porridge can successfully counterattack.

This made everyone even more amazed at Star Academy.

After all, everyone knows that the production team of Mao Mao Porridge is a group of interns who will officially graduate this summer.

The work of a group of interns has counterattacked Disney.

This means that these students will definitely achieve great things after graduation.

At the same time, it also further proved to the public the outrageous teaching capabilities of Star Academy.

With the students he has taught, the Hard Steel Animation giant can still make a counterattack.

What kind of fairy academy is this?

So at this moment, Star Academy's status in the animation industry has truly risen to an unshakable level.

Star Academy is the holy land of anime.

……

And in the beautiful country.

The president of Disney looked extremely sad.

Although it had been anticipated, the marketing department was even asked to release a memory killing video in advance to attract attention.

But the president of Disney really didn't expect that all of this would actually happen.

Toy Story's box office was surpassed.

Although this is only a single day's box office.

The total box office of Kitten Porridge is less than half of that of Toy Story.

But its impact is still greater than imagined.

First of all, it was Disney’s intention that the two works collided with each other this time.

The idea of ​​suppression was never hidden.

The result now?

Is there any sign of success in the suppression?

This will seriously affect the outside world's confidence in Disney.

But this is not the main thing.

The most important thing is that Disney takes the initiative to suppress it, which in turn highlights the strength of Star Animation Company.

An animation company established less than a year ago.

First time getting involved in the film industry.

In the midst of the battle, they narrowly defeated their own Disney.

Overwhelming in terms of reputation, popularity, etc.

The strong production ability is undoubtedly demonstrated.

Not to mention that Xingchen College has made its internal announcement that Xingchen Animation Company does not only provide internship positions for students.

Formal jobs will also be provided.

Judging from the support Xingchen students have for their students.

Most animation major graduates will definitely choose Xingchen Animation Company.

All these make the outside world more optimistic about Xingchen Animation Company.

I am also looking forward to the next work of Star Animation Company, the first movie in the Sleeping Immortal series.

Not to mention that Star Academy will also offer a film and television major next year.

If a film and television subsidiary is also established, with the addition of live-action dramas, the chances of success of the Sleeping Immortal series will be even greater.

If this development continues, Star Animation Company may not be able to become a giant like Disney.

Disney's sequel overturned, making the outside world doubt Disney's production strength. At the same time, rivals were rising, and Disney's strong suppression failed to work.

This makes the outside world no longer so optimistic about Disney's future.

So, on this day...

Disney shares plunged five percent.

Five percent doesn't sound like much, but it doesn't even reach the lower limit in A-shares.

But the problem is that Disney is huge.

The market value has reached more than 150 billion US dollars.

Equivalent to RMB 1.1 trillion.

This 5% drop means that the market value of more than 55 billion yuan has been wiped out.

The market capitalization is higher than that of many listed companies.

How amazing?

As a result of such a huge decline, the president of Disney is naturally under great pressure.

Because there is already anger coming from the boardroom.

The board of directors meeting is tonight, and I, the president, have to personally explain to the shareholder representatives.

If the explanation is not approved by shareholders.

Then I might be able to pack up and leave that night.

This made the Disney president feel a trace of regret in his heart...

He had indeed seen the threat from Star Animation Company a long time ago.

The reason for withdrawing shares is suppression.

In fact, it is not really to kill Xingchen Animation Company.

Instead, he wanted to hinder the development of Xingchen Animation Company and force Xingchen Animation Company into trouble.

This gives Disney the opportunity to acquire Star Animation Company and become a subsidiary.

Even if it cannot acquire it completely, it still needs more say to prevent Xingchen Animation Company from investing in the park in the future.

Even the IP created by Star Animation Company is licensed to Disney and will appear in Disney Parks in the future.

Ordinary people think that Disney's most profitable business is movies and IP licensing.

But that's not the case.

Disney's most profitable business is its park business.

Parks + souvenirs + hotels + cruises, Disney directly makes a lot of money.

The importance is self-evident.

So when the president of Disney discovered that Star Animation Company really had the ability to accumulate IP and build a park in the future.

Only then will they choose to suppress without hesitation.

It's a pity that now it seems that even though I already attach great importance to Xingchen Animation Company.

But in fact, he still underestimated the other party.

He underestimated the Star Academy behind him...
