The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Seeing the first day's box office data settle, Gareth, who was also concerned about the box office situation, was relieved.

The few Yunsu staff who stood by were also pleasantly surprised: "Great, it seems that our plan has taken effect, and Huaying's box office has indeed been affected!"

"Actually, if you think about it, the movie we chose is not as good as "Harry Potter", but in other schedules, it is also a movie with a box office of at least nine or one billion. "Harry Potter" is amazing To what extent can we really not be affected in the slightest."

Gareth bent his lips in a good mood, and said: "This is only the first day, don't be too happy, let others pay attention, who knows if there will be a sudden change in Huaying reverse?"

Having said that, Gareth actually agrees with it from the bottom of his heart.

The box office on the first day does not represent everything, but at least on this small first step, he won the bet. Harry Potter's box office has really suffered -- and that's enough.As long as this trend continues, it is basically impossible for Huaying to recover its cost.

Not only the animation side, but also the construction of theme parks and colleges on the other side also require a lot of funds. These projects are mostly linked together. It will be broken accordingly, and at that time, naturally some will add insult to injury and take the opportunity to bite Huaying.

Thinking of this, Gareth felt relaxed and happy in his heart.

He also noticed the marketing of Huaying some time ago, but he never took it to heart - so what if he was praised by the audience?Is it possible to avoid the ending of falling apart in this way?Or can the box office of "Harry Potter" skyrocket with just a few compliments from the audience?

Since it doesn't work, let's make trouble with Huaying, anyway, they won't suffer.

The Yunsu Group is relieved here, but the people who are also paying attention to the box office of "Harry Potter" are not happy at all.

For the fans who participated in the whole process, the saddest thing is not watching Huaying gradually slide into the abyss without being helpless.But when they had little hope, the good word-of-mouth of "Harry Potter" gave them some hope, but they were subsequently defeated by the box office on the first day.

The magazines and newspapers that were still writing film reviews for "Harry Potter" and promoting them in disguise, all chose to remain silent.

However, even though they no longer publish various film reviews of "Harry Potter", these newspapers and magazines have no intention of promoting other films. Instead, the most lively entertainment film and television sector in the past has been silent like this, as if only in this way can we express There was a silent protest in their hearts.

Fang Lian was puzzled: "I don't understand, did those two so-and-so movies really have that much influence?" So big that even the box office of "Harry Potter" was traumatized by it .

"I don't know about "Mad Asylum". After all, "Jing Shanhe" is a starring role with high popularity, and the exclusivity of fans is really strong," Wen Feihang said: "I have also read the reviews on the Internet, and the word-of-mouth of these two films is also high. They're not bad, if it wasn't for Yun Su's determination to mess with us, these two films would only get better results if they were placed in other schedules."

"Is there really nothing we can do about them?" Mu Xingxue couldn't help frowning.

Mu Suxing may be the calmest one among them. When several people were discussing nervously at the side, Mu Suxing was still sitting in front of the computer, dealing with the post-production of the animated film "Your Lie in April". : "Isn't it just the first day, what are you in a hurry for?"

"It's just the first day that I'm so anxious." Wen Feihang said helplessly, "I looked like this on the first day, is it possible that I still expect a sudden rise in the future?"

Before Shepherd Xing could speak, the landline on the desk over there rang. When he walked to the desk and stopped, Fang Lian, who was still discussing countermeasures, left the office and avoided.

"Mr. Gareth?"

Received a call from this person again, Mu Suxing pondered for a moment, and immediately guessed the purpose of the caller. Sure enough, the caller didn't even exchange too many pleasantries this time, so he directly cut to the topic: "We really want to talk to Hua. Those who cooperate with film and television all say that good birds choose trees to live in, Mr. Mu really don't think about it any more?"

A good bird chooses a tree to live in... Isn't this the meaning of wanting to annex Huaying?

Mu Suxing only felt it was funny in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, as if he was really listening to him.

"Mr. Mu must also know that Huaying has reached the most critical moment. Although the animation industry has come to an end, comics and games are not deeply involved, and theme parks and animation schools have just begun," Gareth said in an orderly manner. He said: "Mr. Mu also doesn't want his plan to be stillborn before it officially starts, right?"

Shepherd Xing was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but instead smiled: "What can you give me?"

"Since it's a cooperation, of course it's mutually beneficial," Gareth said unhurriedly: "Yunsu can provide funds to help Huaying build and operate a theme park together. Live-action TV series and movies are also areas that we are good at. Both of us Cooperation, IP interoperability, why not do it?"

Shepherd star: ...

To put it bluntly, Gareth just wanted to intercept Huying's theme park that is about to be built, and take away the well-known IP under Huaying by the way, but he didn't say a word about the school and other aspects that had no hope of profit. .

Although he knew early on that when Gareth called at this moment, it was probably the lion who opened his mouth, but he never expected that the other party would actually swell to such a degree.

Don't be afraid of dying in one bite.

Thinking of this, Shepherd Xing didn't bother to argue with the other party anymore, but simply said: "You make a lot of sense—so I refuse."

Gareth was not angry either, he said slowly: "Mr. Mu, do you still remember the last time we met?" He said unhurriedly: "Same as last time, this time we are still friendly, but If we wait a few days to talk again, it will be a matter of business."

This is an obvious threat.

Shepherd Xing was not annoyed, and deliberately followed and slowed down his speech, saying: "Why don't we just talk about the juncture of friendship now, you stop now, and I will let you live, what do you think? "

Gareth almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. He frowned, and after confirming that there was no possibility that he needed the Shepherd Star to "let him live", he only thought that he was bluffing, and immediately turned cold: "Since Mr. Mu is right If you are so confident, let’s wait and see.”

The phone was hung up with a snap, as if still carrying the master's unfinished anger.

Shepherd shrugged and said to himself: "I reminded him kindly, why doesn't he believe it?" He opened the drawer with one hand, and spread out a stack of materials on the desk.

On the top is an application for running a school that is going to be handed over to the Blue Star Education Bureau.

This is a common process that everyone who wants to run a school has to go through.

But if there are other people standing here, they will be surprised to find that this school, which is only at the application level, has gathered the most luxurious lineup of professors in the history of Blue Star Art School.

From well-known industry tycoons, to veteran artists with real positions, and even professors of history, music and other majors who only exist as electives in animation schools, they are all well-known existences in all walks of life.Looking at the past, it is difficult to find a slightly ordinary and mediocre one.

This is the surprise.

For Shepherd Star, the reason why he chose to produce "The Old Man and the Sea" and took it to the Muse Art Festival was, on the one hand, to use it as an alternative gift to fulfill himself in his previous life.On the other hand, there is indeed the idea of ​​further entering the Blue Star art circle through this.

According to his thinking - after he gradually gets acquainted with these old seniors, not to mention inviting people to give lectures for a long time, but occasionally inviting people to give lectures once or twice, it should be no problem, right?

He thought that his requirements were very low, and he didn't dare to think higher, but he couldn't bear Yunsu's reverse assist.

No, after "The Old Man and the Sea" shocked the entire cultural circle of Blue Star, Mu Su Xing himself hadn't even opened his mouth yet. Several old artists who heard that he was going to run a school took the initiative to send them to the door, saying that other places could not help. It's no big deal, but it's no problem to support his new school.

So when Shepherd Xing realized it, he already owned an animation school that hadn't been established yet, and it was only a junior college for the time being, but sooner or later it would be upgraded to an animation school.

This is also the reason why Shepherd Star didn't care much about seeing the box office of "Harry Potter" being affected.

Just as outsiders think, Huaying's various departments are interlocking. There are so many big bosses in Huaying's school, which means that Shepherd Star no longer has to worry about recruiting students, even if it has just been established My school is the lowest specialty, and I am not afraid that no students will sign up.

the most important is……

Shepherd Xing put away the application, and his eyes fell on another densely written list, and his expression became calm.

In the memory of his previous life, Blue Star officials took action to rectify the entertainment industry, but the time was a little later than now, but what is certain is that the relevant departments have long had the idea of ​​​​handling moths, and this is how the previous paragraph Time for a television inventory.

What is listed on this list right now are several film and television companies that will be on the processing list soon, as well as relevant evidence.

Gareth was right.

He was indeed helpless in the face of their aboveboard encirclement and suppression, but they also forgot that the entire Blue Star entertainment circle is really not decided by capital.

***

While all parties had their own plans, the box office of "Harry Potter" was also updated day by day.

One day, two days, three days...

With the passage of time, the single-day box office of "Harry Potter" began to rise gradually, but its fluctuations are not particularly obvious. It can be attributed to the normal growth brought by word of mouth. Therefore, whether it is Huaying's , or Yunsu, who has always been paying attention to the box office situation, did not take this change to heart.

In contrast, "Respecting Mountains and Rivers" and "Madhouse" have been more affected-if "Harry Potter" is still increasing day by day, then "Respecting Mountains and Rivers" and "Madhouse" which have appeared as cannon fodder ", its single-day box office showed a clear downward trend.

This made Gareth frowned unconsciously.

Forget it, let's hold on for a week. When this week passes, there will naturally be new works to fill the vacancies of these two films. By then, "Harry Potter and the Beginning" has been released for a week and has gradually lost its freshness. Chamber of Secrets, its single-day box office will only get worse and worse, so there is nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Gareth didn't study the box office carefully any more, and turned his attention to the planned second batch of works to encircle and suppress "Harry Potter".After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the two works, Gareth became more and more relaxed.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Now we just need to wait quietly for the moment of "Harry Potter" Waterloo.

That is, when almost everyone thought that the failure of Huaying Animation was a foregone conclusion, the staff in charge of ticket sales and statistics in the major movie theaters of Blue Star faintly noticed some unusual changes.

Dongchen Cinema, twelve o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, the audience in the cinemas became less and less. Taking advantage of this relatively free time, the staff began to sort out and check the ticket sales situation of each theater today.

According to her statistical experience these days and even consistently, the audiences of the three most popular movies are more or less mutually exclusive. The relationship between "Madhouse" and "Harry Potter" may be better. The audience of "Respecting Mountains and Rivers" is more dedicated, and basically will not consider buying the other two animation works.

but now……

She looked at the statistical results on the computer showing that more than a dozen copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" that were bundled with "Jing Shanhe" were sold at the same time, and she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

If it was just an abnormal day today, the staff would not think too much about it, but this situation has lasted for more than one day. That posture, it seems that every audience watching "Respecting Mountains and Rivers" is "Harry Potter" Shuangdan is the same.

Doesn't it mean that the fans of this kind of traffic star are often the most dedicated and extreme, and usually buy more than a dozen or twenty tickets to support their own idols, and many of them will belittle other movies in the same period?What happened to so many users of "Jing Shanhe" who bought "Harry Potter" together?

Is "Harry Potter" too attractive?Or is it that traffic fans have collectively changed their sex?
