The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Without the malicious sniping from other movies, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" can be said to be rising steadily.

On February 2th, the tenth day of the release of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the total box office has reached 20 billion, of which the single-day box office is as high as 30 million. This figure is already comparable to that of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". The box office on the highest day was flat, and it seems that there is still momentum to surpass this figure.

as predicted.

2 month 21 day.

When everyone's eyes once again focused on the real-time box office displayed on the relevant webpage, even though they had expected it, when their own guesses turned into real money in front of them, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air.

"The Chamber of Secrets of Harry Potter", today's box office, 4.9 million!

When "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" set a record of 4.1 million credits in the single-day box office, many people also predicted that in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will be no movie that can achieve such a terrifying daily box office, even " A sequel to the "Harry Potter" series is probably not possible-after all, in the film industry, it is an indisputable fact that one series of films have box office like one.

However, no one expected that this sequel, which was sentenced to death due to siege and suppression before it was released, would soar into the sky after the darkness that once suppressed it dissipated layer by layer.

"This is Huaying..." Some film critics said: "Those things that can't kill it will only make it stronger."

"I have a hunch that the era of quality-oriented movies that we all dream of may really be coming."

Ten days ago, people watched the box office changes of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in order to send Huaying off.Ten days later, when people looked at the film again, it was to witness how far this conscientious work of Huaying could go without external interference.

When the time came to the third month of the year, the real-time total box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" had already reached 50 billion.

This data has broken the Blue Star global box office record set by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Many people in the industry have made predictions based on the increase and decrease of the film's box office. They believe that when "The Chamber of Secrets of Harry Potter" is released, Blue Star's global box office list will be the highest in history, at least it will be raised to 70 billion, plus various peripheral products, the total profit of Huaying Animation on this movie may not be less than 50 billion.

This is not surprising.

For animated films, the bulk of their revenue comes from derivatives of animation to a large extent.Before Huaying Animation, there was a situation where the box office of an animated film itself was only in the early 3 million, but the peripheral derivative profits were as high as 10 billion.

Considering the high popularity of the "Harry Potter" series in the entire Blue Star, the real profit of Huaying Animation will only be more than the predictions of professionals, not less.

Realizing this, the entire film industry fell silent.

"This is too scary..." Many people couldn't help laughing wryly after thinking about it.They are live-action movies that have exploded, and the bulk of the revenue comes from the box office itself. Unlike the "Harry Potter" series, to put it bluntly, this series has almost become a cash cow for Huaying animation.

The payoff is huge and it's standing still.

At the same time, on Zhizhi App, there were already many people answering a certain question about Huaying animation, and there was a brand new answer that received the most votes——

Thank you.

Without further ado, let's talk about the conclusion first: For those capitals who have always been afraid of Huaying, what they are most worried about has gradually become a reality.

Capital likes to cut leeks, and the most worrying thing is that they can no longer cut leeks easily.

If the audience's aesthetics stays at a relatively ordinary level, they can use their successful routines to carry out streamlined production, so as to achieve the goal of continuous profit.Therefore, the last thing they want to see is that a masterpiece with a truly excellent conscience be recognized by the market, because this means that the leeks they raised in captivity have begun to become conscious.

Once a person has tasted the sweetness, it is difficult to suffer again.

The same goes for movie games.

Once players and audiences have tasted the taste of excellent works, while their own aesthetics have improved, they can no longer lower their requirements and accept streamlined defective products. When there are more and more consumers, capital will also It is difficult to harvest consumers' wallets like cutting leeks.

And Huaying Animation is the most hated by capital. It is the type of company that can make money lying down, but wants to raise the average level of the industry.

This is why capital would rather risk its own losses than destroy Huaying Animation.As long as there is Huaying Animation, Blue Star audiences will only have higher and higher requirements for various works, and it will become more and more difficult for capital to make money without thinking.Therefore, taking advantage of the tense capital chain of Huaying Animation, they did not hesitate to start.

In fact, on this point, the judgment of capital is not wrong-it is their best chance to destroy Huaying, and it is also their last chance.

As long as the box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" collapses, Huaying's capital chain is broken, and the theme park is stuck there and cannot pay. Nature will inevitably go to destruction.

The reverse is also true.

For Huaying Animation, whether the box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is good or bad is actually a watershed for Huaying's future: the box office collapses and there is no redemption. The integrated video animation has entered an invincible position.Even if the next big-budget movie fails at the box office, the huge business chain of comics-animation-game-theme park will make up for the loss, and it will never be possible to encounter the difficult situation two weeks ago.

So back to the title, how do you evaluate the video animation after "The Chamber of Secrets of Harry Potter"?My answer is eight words - unstoppable, the future can be expected.

……

The weather is going well for Huaying, but the film and television company that once surrounded Huaying is not so good.

First, due to pressure, the movie that was supposed to be released was forced to be postponed.Finally, when "Harry Potter" was about to be released, and several companies had negotiated with each other, and deliberately staggered the schedule to avoid multiple losses, the theater did not know where to jump out again. A dark horse, it just disrupted everyone's plans and suppressed other movies.

What's weird is that this movie that caught everyone off guard is actually an animated movie.

The movie is called "Born to be a Carpenter". As the name suggests, the whole movie tells the life of the protagonist who was born in a family of carpenters.The animation is humorous and interesting, and it also popularizes a lot of knowledge about carpentry to the audience, so that the audience can not only enjoy the fun of animation, but also understand the development history of Blue Star woodworking for thousands of years while watching the movie.

Not only that, but the details of the whole animation are also done extremely well.Although the picture is 2D, every detail is incredibly exquisite, and the lines on the wood carving are smooth and clear, as if you can feel the taste of time accumulated in the lens through the screen.

Just when everyone was secretly curious as to where this film that turned out to be out of nowhere came from, information about the investment and production of this film soon appeared in front of everyone——

Movie Name: "Born to Be a Craftsman"

Director: Xu An

Production company: Huaying Animation

When they saw the name "Xu An", which they had never heard of before, many companies were overjoyed, and they just tried to recruit their own company. The familiar words in the column of the production company were pressed back.

Why is it Huaying again?

Why didn't I find out before that Huaying animation is so lingering?

The various companies are naturally very depressed, but the appearance of "Born to Be a Craftsman" just happened to take over the gap in the release of "Harry Potter".With novel themes and in-depth expressions, many young people are attracted by this animation, and for a while, they even forget about other live-action movies.

Therefore, although the box office of "Born to Be a Craftsman" is not as good as that of phenomenal movies like "Harry Potter", it is still at the top of the March box office.

With the explosion of "Born to Be a Craftsman", the chief director, Xu An, has also entered everyone's field of vision.

As the saying goes, after ten years of cold windows, no one asked, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. "Born to Be a Craftsman" was a great success, and as an animation director, Xu An's worth has naturally risen accordingly. At the same time, Xu An's past experience has also been dug up by various newspapers——

After graduation, he worked as a cartoonist for Rose Animation. After Rose Animation changed hands and changed its name to Huaying Animation, he participated in the production of "IS" as a cartoonist for Huaying.But when "IS" was in full swing, in order to pursue his dream of animation, he resolutely chose to resign from Huaying Animation.

Xu An's journey of chasing dreams is not smooth.

In order to make "Born to Be a Craftsman", which was still in the script stage at the time, the animator from an ordinary family sold his real estate and cars to fill the funding gap.After he ran around, he managed to gather enough funds for the animation production of "Born to Be a Craftsman", but unfortunately, Ji Xinrong's "Grass and Trees" failed at the box office, so that investors who had originally negotiated also chose to back down.

Until Huaying Animation took over.

Perhaps it was because of personal principles, or in order to repay Huaying’s kindness for lending a helping hand in a desperate situation. Later, Huaying Animation was mistakenly believed to have seized the subsidy funds of independent animation producers, and its reputation fell to the bottom.Numerous animation studios that originally received Huaying's investment pulled away one after another and accepted the investment from Yunsu Group. Only Xu An, from the beginning to the end, never wavered even for a moment.

As the box office of "Born to Be a Craftsman" reached 20 billion, this report about the origin of Xu An and Huaying animation also appeared in front of everyone.

At the end of the report, the reporter wrote:

"Some people say that although the Huaying incident was a big deal, nothing has actually changed—in fact, it's just the opposite. Under the subtle influence, under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Shepherd Star and Huaying Animation, some things have been confirmed. It really has changed.”

As if overnight.

No matter how unpopular stand-alone games are, they also began to climb to the top of the sales list because of their own quality and word of mouth from fans.Animated films such as "Born to Be a Craftsman" with traditional cultural colors and not popular with the public can also rely on their excellent plots to get the investment they deserve and become the box office king of the films in the same period.

Those seeds that were buried deep under the soil and were once considered hopeless, finally bloomed quietly in a certain dawn, fearless of wind and rain.
