Dixie Animation Production Company, USA.

Bang!

Damian Dixie slapped the table with a loud slap and a ferocious look on his face.

"Can anyone tell me why the box office difference between the two films is so big?"

Damian Dixie has been waiting in front of the computer, ready to check the box office of "Pearl Princess".

As the main project promoted after he took office, Damian Dixie attaches great importance to "Pearl Princess".

As long as this movie can be successful, he can suppress all the voices in the company that do not obey him and successfully take over the company.

However, when Damian Dixie saw the box office results, he was furious and almost died of anger.

Obviously, they are all animated films, and their Dixie Animation Production Company is an old animation company.

But when the first day box office results came out, the difference was more than doubled.

Damian Dixie couldn't figure out where their movies were different.

In the meeting room, there was silence, and no one dared to face the president's anger.

Damian Dixie saw that no one was talking in the conference room. His hawk-like eyes turned around the conference room and then looked at director Harrison Pierce.

"Harrison, tell me, why is this happening?"

Damian Dixie shouted coldly, and directly called Harrison Pierce's name.

Hearing the president speak, Harrison Pierce's body trembled, and a solemn look flashed across his face.

Harrison Pierce stammered: "President, this is because those audiences don't understand our art..."

Harrison Pierce spoke, but his voice became smaller and smaller, because he found that Damian Dixie's eyes were getting sharper and sharper.

"I think we shouldn't have released the movie in the same schedule as Tan Yue's movie from the beginning!"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the conference room.

Everyone looked over and found that the person who spoke was a vice president of Dixie Company.

The conference room was extremely quiet, and no one agreed.

"Princess Pearl" used "Kung Fu Panda" for publicity, which was a strategy set by Damian Dixie himself.

The vice president said this, in fact, he was accusing Damian Dixie of dereliction of duty.

These company executives' infighting is not something that small employees like them can participate in.

Damian Dixie's eyes condensed, and his face looked ugly.

He originally did not think highly of the animated film directed by Tan Yue, thinking that this was a good opportunity for publicity.

But he did not expect that the animated film directed by Tan Yue was so good that it directly surpassed the "Pearl Princess" that he strongly promoted.

In this way, the original merit became a mistake, which is likely to affect his management of Dixie Animation Company.

After all, he is the new president, and there are still many people in the company who are not convinced.

Damian Dixie's eyes turned, and he looked at Harrison Pierce again, and said coldly.

"Harrison, you have to take the main responsibility for the failure of "Pearl Princess" at the box office. Don't go to work in the company during this period."

When Harrison Pierce heard this, his face changed, and he immediately understood Damian Dixie's idea.

This is to take the blame himself so that he can get rid of it.

Let me take the blame? I'm not serving you yet!

Harrison Pierce swallowed his anger and said directly: "Okay, I got it!"

The meeting ended unhappily, and Harrison Pierce went home directly.

Dream Workshop Animation Production Company.

"Hahaha, it's right to cooperate with Director Tan Yue. The famous director is amazing at the first move!"

Glen Daniel was excited.

He didn't expect that "Kung Fu Panda" would perform so well.

What made him even happier was that his opponent, Dixie Animation Production Company, failed, had poor box office on the first day, and its reputation began to collapse.

The employees of Dream Workshop hurriedly said at this time: "This is all because of the president's wisdom. He chose to cooperate with Director Tan Yue!"

These employees were also full of emotion.

At that time, Glen Daniel chose to go directly to Beijing to sign the contract, and many people didn't understand.

But judging from the results, Glen Daniel's choice was quite correct.

If Glen Daniel hadn't decisively gone to Beijing to negotiate the cooperation, how could there be the current situation.

Glen Daniel listened to the compliments of his subordinates and his face was full of smiles.

He smiled and said, "Next, the publicity work in the United States must be completed with quality and quantity."

Gran Daniel's eyes fixed, and he continued, "Also, continue to discredit "Pearl Princess" on the Internet. I want to make this movie fall to the bottom. This is a great opportunity for our DreamWorks to become the number one animation company in the United States!"

"Yes, boss!" the employees said immediately.

After giving these instructions, Gran Daniel remembered something and asked the employees, "By the way, how is the preparation for "Kung Fu Panda" to compete for the Oscar?"

After hearing what Gran Daniel said, someone immediately spoke up.

"We have signed up to participate, and have lobbied the jury. There will be no problem in being shortlisted."

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Gran Daniel also smiled and nodded, "Very good, I will personally report the good news to Director Tan Yue after the results are out!"

...

After the box office results were announced, the discussion on the Internet was also quite intense.

On Twitter, many people were discussing it enthusiastically.

A fan tweeted directly: "Kung Fu Panda's first-day box office was 253 million US dollars, breaking the record for the first-day box office of an animated film, right?"

Soon, there were comments below: "Broken, broken! Director Tan Yue is amazing, he has broken the record several times, this record is nothing at all!"

"A mere record, what's the big deal, I feel that Director Tan Yue is going to break the record of animated films in film history!"

"It's really possible, I'm afraid we are going to witness history."

"Witness history? How many times have we witnessed history? Just believe in Director Tan Yue!"

In the heated discussion, some people also discussed the rivals of Kung Fu Panda.

"Does no one care about The Pearl Princess? This is also a good animated film!"

As soon as this tweet came out, it immediately attracted many comments.

"The Pearl Princess is a good animated film, but this is a piece of shit in the history of animated films. There is no worse animated film than this."

"Yes, there is an animated film like The Pearl Princess, which is the sadness of animated filmmakers!"

"You are all wrong. The Pearl Princess is a real animated film, a great film, but you just don't know how to appreciate it!"

Praise in the open, but criticize in the dark.

Soon, there were many bad reviews of The Pearl Princess on the Internet.

And the perception of ordinary people towards The Pearl Princess became worse and worse, and its reputation dropped rapidly.

"Kung Fu Panda" won the first place in the box office on the first day, and was hotly discussed on the overseas network, and was also reported in large quantities in China.

"Movie News: Today, the official website of the International Cultural Center announced the box office results in advance. As expected, the first place is the new animated film "Kung Fu Panda" directed by Tan Yue, which earned 253 million US dollars worldwide on the first day. According to the data, this result has broken the first-day box office record of animated films in film history. Let us look forward to the final box office of this movie!"

"Entertainment Events": On the first day of its release, "Kung Fu Panda" earned 253 million US dollars at the box office, far exceeding "Pearl Princess" released on the same day. The competitive situation of the two films has become clear, and the online reputation is even more polarized."

"Southern Entertainment: After the first day of the box office results were announced, "Kung Fu Panda" has more than doubled the box office of "Pearl Princess". The two movies are not in the same league at all. At the beginning of the release of "Pearl Princess", it made a bold statement to snipe "Kung Fu Panda", but now it seems to be a futile effort!"

Various media rushed to report that the box office results of "Kung Fu Panda" have become the biggest topic today.

At this time, the group of leaders of the Tan Yue Fan Support Group was also very lively, and many people were forwarding news from various media.

The discussion in the group was even more heated, with news almost flooding the screen.

"No. 1 in box office, this is the strength of Teacher Tan Yue, who dares to question it?"

"Haha, I knew that Teacher Tan Yue would definitely not fail, and none of his movies were bad!"

"The mere "Pearl Princess" wants to compete with our Teacher Tan Yue, it's really overestimating itself, I think their reputation is also bad, and the subsequent box office will definitely be finished."

"That's right, "Pearl Princess" itself is a bad movie. If this crappy movie hadn't been used to copy Teacher Tan Yue, who would have known it!"

"I heard that Dixie Animation Company has been under constant public opinion, and this failure may not keep the reputation of the first animation company in the United States 'He's done for!"

"That's what they deserve!"

"It's great, it's great!"

"Let's not talk about that unlucky thing. What do you think the box office performance of Kung Fu Panda will be? Will it break the box office record of animated films?"

"It should be possible. The number one animated film at the box office is Dixie Animation's "Ice Princess", but the box office is only 1.984 billion US dollars."

"From this point of view, Kung Fu Panda can definitely make history!"

Looking at the discussion in the group, a trace of excitement flashed across Zhuang Bailin's face, with a sense of honor.

Speaking of the number one animated film at the box office, "Ice Princess", Zhuang Bailin also has an impression.

It is indeed an excellent animated film, well-made, with beautiful music, action and other aspects.

When it was released that year, it caused a sensation. It can be said that every girl has a dream of becoming an ice princess in her heart.

It can be said that Dixie Animation was really good at that time.

But now it is completely different.

"Pearl Princess" is just like a pile of shit. No one who watches this movie will want to become this kind of black pearl princess.

Therefore, "Kung Fu Panda" has no rivals at all. According to the current first-day box office results, it will definitely surpass "Snow White" in the future and become the first in the box office of animated films in film history.

Zhuang Bailin was very sure in her heart.

She thought about it, picked up her phone and started typing.

"First-day box office first, we have made a good start. Judging from the box office results, it should be the first in the box office of animated films in film history. But we can't take it lightly. Next, everyone will help promote it. After all, the audience of animated films is limited, and we must do our best..."

After Zhuang Bailin sent this sentence, people in the group soon responded.

"President, don't worry, we will never take it lightly!"

"No need for the president to tell us, we are all doing it, and we are familiar with it!"

"Got it, President!"

Seeing everyone speak enthusiastically, Zhuang Bailin was also happy in his heart, and he directly sent a red envelope in the group.

"Thank you for your hard work, buy a cup of milk tea."

As soon as the red envelope appeared, it was snatched up in less than three seconds, and many people spread rumors.

"The president is generous!"

"Thank you, president!"

Zhuang Bailin smiled and continued: "Everyone should promote the movie more!"

Then, Zhuang Bailin closed the group chat and opened Weibo.

Weibo was also discussing heatedly, and everyone was very concerned about "Kung Fu Panda".

"Director Tan Yue is so amazing, it is the first in the box office again, and it has broken the record!"

"No surprise, no surprise at all, if "Kung Fu Panda" doesn't take the first place, who can take the first place. If Director Tan Yue doesn't take the first place, that would be real news."

"Kung Fu Panda is really good, it is the best animated movie I have ever seen."

"Kung Fu Panda is good, and the pandas are also very cute!"

Zhuang Bailin saw that there was a picture under this Weibo.

Clicking on the big picture, there is a furry panda doll, which looks cute and adorable, just like Po.

After seeing this doll, Zhuang Bailin's eyes lit up, and she also felt that it was very cute, which touched her heart.

So, Zhuang Bailin quickly sent a private message to the person who posted the Weibo.

"Sister, where did you buy this Po doll?"

Hearing Zhuang Bailin's question, the other party quickly gave an answer.

"I bought it at the souvenir shop of the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base. There are not only Po dolls, but also many other characters, but I like Po more."

The souvenir shop of the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base?

Do they still sell this kind of thing?

Zhuang Bailin was very curious and started searching at this time.

Soon, Zhuang Bailin found that not only the souvenir shop of the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base, but also many other places, began to sell these peripheral dolls.

"Is it sold in the cinema? I have to watch Kung Fu Panda again!"

Zhuang Bailin was moved, and after taking a screenshot of this Weibo and posting it in the group, he hurried out to watch Kung Fu Panda for the second time and buy the doll at the same time.

The group was already very lively, and after Zhuang Bailin posted the picture, the news was posted even faster.

"Wow, this doll is so cute, I want to buy it!"

"Yes, this panda is so cute, I heard that many places have started selling it, and our cinema has it for sale."

"Great, I was planning to buy one."

"Me too, I'm going to watch Kung Fu Panda for the second time!"

"I'm going too, is anyone in Beijing? Let's go together!"

"I'm in Beijing, let's meet at the cinema!" (End of this chapter)
