"What? Five hundred and thirty million!?" The next day, when Zhao Meng received the news, he almost dropped the phone! He finally held back his irritable mood and reconfirmed: "Is the news at the box office true?"

"Absolutely true, now the media knows it too!"

The subordinate replied in the affirmative, Zhao Meng also knew when he heard the media, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, shaking his hands and hung up the phone.

"What you just said was the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century"?" The wife who was eating breakfast looked at his pale face and showed a surprised look: "Five hundred and thirty million, is this number too fake? Can't the movie reach it?

"That's right." Zhao Meng closed his eyes heavily: "Things can't get worse!"

The box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" could be so high, and the total box office of 3 billion yuan has become Phoenix's pocket. However, the worst problem is not the box office, but the huge impact of this number. The box office exceeded 500 million on the first day. It is not difficult to imagine how big waves it will set off in society!

"Awesome!" Early in the morning, some newsstands set up on the side of the street were crowded with people. Today, many newspaper headlines are focused on the first day of the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" that was revealed last night. In the past, people were surprised to find that the whole world had changed.

"More than 500 million! "The Magician of the Early Century" has such a high box office data, it is really amazing!", "Looks like a fake!" "Yes, I always think that animated movies are small Many movies. But this number has changed my worldview!", "Bai Yan's previous movies are at this level, right?"

While people were surprised, this box office result also triggered an earthquake-like effect among the well-informed director group.

In fact, the four directors who joined the Phoenix Company. It’s not uncommon for them to have directed films with a box office of over 500 million on the first day. This means that in the process of leaving traditional movies and transforming into animation directors, not only did they not suffer losses, but they were consistent with their best performance.

An animated film can create such a huge first day box office, which shocked the directors. This box office is enough to change their long-standing concept-nowadays there are a lot of audiences who go to the cinema to watch animated films. On the contrary, it A lot!

This is the first time. The directors have seen the popularity of animated films with their own eyes-the audience size of this category is no longer ‘child-level’, but it is indeed a ‘giant existence’. There is a lot to do in China Animation Movies!

"The audience market for animated films has matured!", "This kind of film can be done!", "Why haven't we discovered it before!"

Suddenly, many directors were excited, and a whole new world appeared in front of them, and opportunities were everywhere.

Although the popularity of "The Magician of the Early Century" is closely related to the original animation. But this huge box office proves that the adaptability of animation styles is not much smaller than that of traditional movies. The potential of animated movies has been fully demonstrated, and competition for this kind of movies is scarce. If you can make good use of this market, there will be a lot of them in the future. Famous animation director.

This is a breath of change, especially for many ambitious young directors. Traditional movies have higher barriers and fixed interests. They must rely on powerful celebrity resources and media resources, and it is also difficult for talented newcomers to get up.

But animated films do not need to have a good relationship with various star companies, as long as there is a good animation team and an excellent script can be produced-this is a blue ocean that has not been explored.

"Haha. The wave of animated movies is coming!"

Along with the changes in the concept of some directors, in the animation circle, a few animation companies have also smelled the wind and rain. They cheered for the amazing box office of "The Magician of the Early Century." Judging this box office will inevitably bring about a wave of animation film production.

In China, film is a very profitable industry, but the cost of making films is not small. When "Five Centimeters Per Second" came out in the past, many animation companies considered making movies, but most of them gave up because of the cost.

However, it is different now. The popularity of "The Magician of the Early Century" will change the minds of investors. They will be more interested, and small animation companies will be more convenient to inhale investment, and it will be easier to find directors to join.

"Thank you teacher He Xi, thank you teacher He Xi!"

Many people in charge of animation companies are grateful from the bottom of their hearts. This cartoonist who stands at the ding point of the animation industry often keeps the light of other companies from radiating. However, in recent years, more and more small companies have changed their views on He Shi-he is indeed a monster that obscures the sky. But this monster led them to open up a fertile wilderness.

Regardless of manga, animation, text adventure games, or voice actors and now animated films, He Xi always stands in the forefront of the industry to open up the market, and in the huge market he has developed, many small companies have survived and developed.

If there is no pity, the cake of China's animation industry will not become bigger, and the lives of other animation companies will be more difficult. So they hate what they love and what they love. As time goes by, they hate less and less, but love more and more...

More and more people discover the importance of He Shi and begin to praise the new era he has brought.

In addition, the Phoenix Company has gradually become open in recent years, which is why He Xi's reputation has increased day by day. At present, most of the popular comics under the Phoenix Company will be sold to the outside world, while Phoenix Company only does what's wrong with the animation, and many animation companies have formed close ties with Phoenix.

The same is true in the voice actors industry. The voice actors of Phoenix Company are open. Unlike Zhongxia Company, those big stars will not dub the animation of small companies. They only dub in the animation of Zhongxia Company. After all, this family’s animation That's a lot.

Therefore, a strange phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious now that Zhongxia and Star Company cooperate against Phoenix. However, in the entire animation industry, more people like Phoenix and are hostile to Zhongxia-Zhongxia is too close to the entertainment industry. And because of the greedy production of a large number of animations in the past, they seized the prime time of various TV stations, which made many people feel bad.

Phoenix Company is so powerful. However, their number of animations during the same period is not many, leaving opportunities for others. This is a good example! However, Zhongxia does not care about other people's life or death. Their cartoons are completely self-collected and sold. There are many animation studios, and voice actors do not cooperate with others.

It's weird that it doesn't offend the peers!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Ninghai. Phoenix Building.

Alice has just arrived and hasn't gotten out of the car. I saw many reporters standing at the door of the building* carrying cameras or microphones. They saw people entering and leaving the building and gathered around. A minister of Phoenix Company could hardly move in. He had to rely on security guards at the door to get in.

"A lot of reporters. Shall we go in through the back door?" Alice asked, squinting her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot. After getting the first day's box office data last night, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, most of the night. Thinking about how to help "Magician at the Beginning of the Century" go to the next level.

"No need." Xu Jing was sitting next to Alice, and he shook his head.

Alice used to work separately from him, but today, seeing her eyes flushed, Xu Jing asked her to take the car with herself. Anyway, since Alice became the vice president, the relationship between the two has not been a big secret. There is no concealment.

Xu Jing stopped the car, stretched out his hand to open the door, and said with a smile: "Now the back door must be full of reporters. It's the same wherever you go!"

He got out of the car without caring, and Alice followed behind. As soon as the two got out of the car, a few sharp-eyed reporters rushed over: "Mr Xu is there!"

As soon as other reporters heard the sound, they looked back at Xu Jing and both of them brightened up. He rushed over when he lifted his footsteps, just a blink of an eye. The door of the originally blocked building* suddenly became empty-the security guards also ran over and quickly protected Xu Jing and the others.

"Looking back, I need someone to give the Security Division some rewards..." Alice thought so, but despite the security guards trying their best to help them clear the way, the surrounding reporters were still noisy, asking loudly about the box office.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, may I ask "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" got 530 million in the first day's box office. Is this true?", "Mr. Xu, is there a press conference today?", "Miss Alice, I heard that you founded DreamWorks, is it true?", "When will Teacher He come back? Is he satisfied with this movie?"

The scene was chaotic. Although many security guards shouted "Get out, don't get too close!" and "Don't come over! We will use tough methods!" warnings, but a reporter accidentally hit Xu Jing in the middle. , Everyone was shocked.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked nervously after the security guard pulled away the reporter. Xu Jing is not young, and she is worried that he will be injured.

The reporters around were also a little nervous and no longer forced them so aggressively. However, this was just a small bump, and Xu Jing, who was in good health, was not injured—even he did not show his unhappiness as usual.

Xu Jing was in a very good mood today, and his face has been very ruddy. Seeing that the attitude of the reporters became calm, he took the initiative to answer several questions: "The box office is true, this can't deceive people! As for the press conference, we are not sure yet. It will not be held. If there is news, everyone is welcome to participate!"

Seeing this change in his attitude, the reporters were extremely excited, and they clamored and asked new questions like a fight, while Xu Jing walked towards the building while answering only the questions he was interested in.

Before entering the building, a female reporter asked eagerly: "If the box office is real! Then "The Magician of the Early Century" has such a high box office, does Mr. Xu have any plans for the future? Will he make an animated film? Up?"

"Planning?" Xu Jing stopped, turned his head and smiled at the reporter: "Of course there is. After I heard the number of 530 million, I began to consider whether Phoenix should invest all resources in making movies. , This box office is too scary, a movie made more than I have earned in the first half of my life!"

This passage caused laughter from many reporters. On the first day of the box office, the total box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" can be estimated. Three billion is indispensable. Compared with the business of Phoenix in the past, it is indeed profitable. Is it possible that Phoenix really wants to transform into making movies?

"Cough!" Alice, who had been silent for a while, couldn't help coughing. After drawing the attention of the reporters, she said, "Xu was always joking just now. Don't take it seriously."

How could Phoenix only make movies? Although the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" is large, everyone can tell that this box office achievement cannot be separated from the popularity of the comics and animations of "Detective Conan".

Comics and animation will be the core business of Phoenix for the foreseeable future, and will not change for decades. In fact, the coordinated development of multiple businesses will also help Phoenix avoid risks in the future and become a diversified cultural group.

"Mr. Xu, were you kidding me just now?"

A reporter asked Xu Jing. Xu Jing glanced at Alice, and then showed an apologetic expression. He also found that he was overjoyed. The sentence just now was too arbitrary. If it is reported that it is not clarified in time, other departments of Phoenix Company Will be chilling.

"Of course it's a joke." Xu Jing followed Alice's words and laughed: "But "The Magician of the Early Century" is so successful, the film business will indeed become one of our company's key businesses in the future."

"That means there will be film production in the future?"

"Of course, we will increase our investment in DreamWorks, and strive to release one or two movies every year in the future." Xu Jing nodded, but he did not say that this matter was actually confirmed by Meng Huo when DreamWorks was established. . UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

However, with the success of "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century", Phoenix is ​​now more emboldened to say this sentence-the average annual output of two movies is not difficult for them, let alone, "chong things elf" and "Detective Conan" releases a theater version of the movie every year is very easy.

The reporters quickly thought of this, and they all showed a dumbfounded expression.

"The theatrical version of "Detective Conan" is so popular, and the movie "Chong Monster Elf" is probably not bad!", "The copyright of two super popular animations is just like picking up money. This It’s too cool!", "Damn it, why the A-shares will surely rise if they don’t have Phoenix shares to buy!"

This is their psychology, and there are also a few reporters who are fans of animation.

"It's over. The film adaptation is so valuable. They will definitely make those two animations longer. It seems that I will never see the day when "Chong Monster" and "Detective Conan" are over..."
