Rebirth In Hollywood

The movie specifically mentions the phrase 'all pipes lead to the sea', and Nemo did indeed swim to the sea from the drain pipe of the mouthwash in the dentist's office.

In fact, domestic wastewater in most areas needs to go through a series of mechanical treatment procedures before it flows to the sea.

Therefore, this aroused the dissatisfaction of environmental companies specializing in wastewater treatment in the Sydney area. The day after the film was released in Australia, they used the media to protest, claiming that the film seriously ignored the reality of Sydney's underground pipe network and satirized the film. should be changed from 'Find Nemo' to the more practical 'Crush Nemo'.

However, some media also defended the film. In Sydney, there are still many sewer systems that discharge wastewater directly into the deep sea water pipes after only some minor pumping treatment. The actual wastewater treatment by environmental companies is not as they claim. Be careful, otherwise there will not be so much domestic waste water pollution in Sydney's offshore waters.

A popular movie can always be brought into reality by the public or the media. It has to be said that this is the charm and influence of the movie.

To a certain extent, this is also a disguised promotion for the film in Australia. After the news reached North America, Pixar Studio immediately responded.

"When we made the film, there was a scene in which Nemo was sent to the sewage treatment plant for a mechanical treatment before being washed into the sea. Although this section was finally cut, everyone should be able to watch it. In the theatrical release, the film still has a section that emphasizes the 'Sydney Sewage Treatment Plant' sign, suggesting that Nemo did go through some treatment before making it back to sea."

The film's producer and director Andrew Stanton specially accepted a joint interview with the North American and Australian media, "In addition, about the deleted scene of the sewage treatment plant, we will put it in the DVD version for later release, and you can pay more attention to it. ."

Hollywood studios are never short of booing to attract audiences to pay.

Some audiences, who like to get to the bottom of things, pay to enter the theater again. See if there is a sign that has been ignored by yourself; more animation movie lovers have more expectations for the DVD version released in the future.

Although the movie had enough boos, Ryan didn't mind adding more, and he went out of his way to get on Antonia Kidman's talk show.

Anne and Nicole have an excellent relationship. To a certain extent, Ryan is also to help her start a career as soon as possible.

"This is a story of father and son, but also a story of growth, a story of love and bravery."

The two sat on the single sofa,

Ryan, facing the question asked by Antonia Kidman opposite, talked eloquently, "About family, about friendship, about growth, these are all things I have seriously considered."

"Can you describe this story in one sentence?" Antonia Kidman asked timely.

"A lot of times. Love needs to let go." Ryan immediately thought of a more appropriate word, "There is a kind of love called letting go."

Education in North America is like the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It is often self-entangled. The audience who came to the show tonight are mostly parents with children. Hearing Ryan's words, he couldn't help but look like he was thinking.

Antonia Kidman turned the topic back to the movie, "For this movie, Pixar delayed the production of the "Toy Story" sequel, will it restart "Toy Story" later? Or "Find Nemo" sequel?"

"There will definitely be another episode of "Toy Story"." Ryan laughed, "but it will take a while, as for

Sequel to Finding Nemo. I actually have some ideas, but Pixar is currently understaffed and can't launch for the time being. "

"Is it convenient to reveal the approximate content?"

"I have already thought about the title of the film about Dolly's story..." Ryan looked at the audience and saw their expectant eyes, but he didn't give a shit. "It's called Finding Dory."

"Sounds exciting."

The audience laughed and applauded in cooperation.

Ryan is not just ranting, but has a real idea of ​​​​a sequel, but the team at Pixar is currently busy, and it will definitely not be able to start in a short time.

Annie is the real one, and the topic has always revolved around the hottest Pixar recently. "It is said that the production of another animated film by Pixar has come to an end, and a new project has also started. I believe everyone is paying attention to these news. Can you tell me in detail?"

"Actually, they all appear in Finding Nemo."

Hearing the discussion from the audience below, Ryan deliberately clapped his palm to attract everyone's attention, "Okay, remind everyone, the dentist's clinic includes a lot of cartoons and dolls, including the next The title of a Pixar animation."

"Superman Family" will not be released until next year, and the publicity plan is just starting to use "Finding Nemo". Ryan and Ed Camer have already reached an agreement. When one of them was interviewed, he revealed that This news, for the audience to find it for themselves, is definitely more interesting and leaves a more profound impression on the public.

Of course, repeated viewing will naturally bring more box office.

In short, both Ryan and Disney have mobilized enough resources to promote this animated feature film and attract more audiences into the theater.

For a group company like Disney, which started out with animation, successful animated films are more important than successful live-action films.

Moreover, out of the total investment of $150 million in the film, publicity costs accounted for $60 million.

After the program was broadcast, the response from North American audiences was particularly strong. After all, after several years of hard work and development, Pixar Studios has become a leader in computer animation and has a large number of supporters.

Among them, someone soon discovered the cartoon of the little boy in the clinic, and also saw the name of "Superman Family" above. After the news spread on the Internet, Pixar also responded, "Finding Nemo" is hot enough, with the help of With this upsurge, it is enough to warm up the "Superman Family".

In recent years, computer animation has developed rapidly. "Toy Story", "Monsters Power Company", "Ice Age", "Shrek", etc., not only took hundreds of millions of box office from the world, but also sold Peripheral products whose profits far exceed the box office.

Hollywood is a major producer of animation, and where is the other? Presumably many people will think of Japan.

The Japanese also want to make enough profits in this craze. They spent huge sums of money to make "Final Fantasy", known as one of the Japanese national games, into a 3D animated movie with a production cost of 140 million US dollars.

The production of this animated feature film has been delayed again and again. The huge production cost and the publicity expenses almost equal to the production cost have almost dragged down the invested game company. After several years of twists and turns, Sony Columbia The film industry also put "Final Fantasy" in July under great pressure to release it as soon as possible.

However, they knew exactly what kind of opponent Pixar was, and they deliberately chose to release "Finding Nemo" a week before, wanting to take the lead and grab the market of North American animation studios with gorgeous pictures.

The Japanese have always been very confident in their own animation, and now is the era of 3D computer animation. In the expectation of the producer Square, "Final Fantasy" will definitely become a box office bomb.

Before the release of "Finding Nemo", Pixar was somewhat worried, but Ryan didn't care at all. Although he didn't remember such a movie in his previous life, how many movies based on the game could be successful? And even if it is successful, there is no type that can sell well.

Besides, this is North America, and so-called national games are not recognized here.

The "Final Fantasy" box-office bomb did explode, but it was him who blew up.

In the first week, 2,683 theaters, with a total North American box office of 7.62 million US dollars, directly caused the distributor Sony Columbia Pictures to vomit blood. In the second week, "Final Fantasy" faced the impact of "Finding Nemo", and the two sides were in a head-to-head contest. , showing that it is not an opponent of one or two levels at all.

The resources that Walt Disney has in North America is far from what Sony Entertainment can compare to. It won 3,855 theaters for "Finding Nemo" in the first week, and raked in $85.25 million in North America, making it onto the box office chart without any suspense. Throne of Champions.

On the basis of maintaining 2,683 theaters, "Final Fantasy" only got 2.17 million US dollars in the second week.

Perhaps Japan can compete with Hollywood in TV animation, but on the big screen, it is not an equal opponent at all.

In the second week, the box office of "Finding Nemo" dropped to $65.22 million, while "Final Fantasy" dropped to 1,780 theaters because of its poor performance in the first two weeks, and the North American box office was only a pitiful 1.32 million. Dollar.

Sony Columbia has stopped promoting Final Fantasy because they realized that the film might not even be able to earn the promotional money they paid in advance...

In addition to the North American market, "Finding Nemo" is also hot in Australia, where it was released simultaneously. After all, the scenes in the film are all in Australia. The film earned $12.8 million in its first week. In just two weeks, the total box office in Australia was over $20 million.

For the sparsely populated Australian market, this is a very scary number.

In another market released in the same period, the Kingdom of Great Britain grossed $17.8 million in its first week, and the two-week box office went well over $25 million.

Subsequently, the films were released in the most important overseas regions under the operation of various branches of Disney. The popularity of North America has also driven these markets, especially Japan, which is deeply influenced by animation. The number of the Japanese national series "Final Fantasy", which has not yet been released here, feels enormous pressure.

In addition, the popularity of this film has formed a certain social impact in many aspects. ()
