Chapter 368: The Myth of The Little Prince
Lin Shuang is gone, a lonely person, just like countless times before, she is such a person alone.
Yang Yang pressed those chaotic thoughts back into his heart and threw himself into a new job.
The box office statistics of the first week of "The Little Prince" came out, and the results not only surprised everyone, but also surprised Yang Yang himself.
The domestic box office in the first week was 230 million, the North American box office was 50 million (US dollars), the Japanese box office was 350 million (yen), the British box office was 20 million (pounds), and the French box office...
The total box office in the first week of the world exceeded 500 million, US dollars!
Although the box office will continue to decline after the International Children's Day, it is enough to leave a brilliant mark in the history of film, to be precise, in the history of animated films, and achieve a significant milestone.
In advance, although many people are very optimistic about the movie "The Little Prince", no one can guess such an exaggerated data.
It's hard to imagine that this is what an animated film does.
Yang Yang's feeling about this is reasonable and unexpected.
Needless to say, "The Little Prince" is well-made, and the cost of close to 200 million is enough to speak for itself.
You know, this is just an animated movie, you don't need to pay the appearance fee of a big-name star, you don't need a variety of venue fees, you don't need a big scene... All the work is done in a small animation studio.
It took a year, the cost was huge, and I don't know how much effort was gathered, but I can only say that it was worth it.
Yang Yang's name has once again become the focus of the media's pursuit.
In the past countless times, he has amazed the world again and again in the music and film worlds, and now, there is another field - animation.
The success of "The Little Prince" is inseparable from the power of its countless fans accumulated around the world. There are so few good children's books in this world, and even fewer good animated films, and The Little Prince isn't just for kids.
Compared to "Snow White" and "Cinderella", "The Little Prince" is more read by older adults.
On Petal.com, the rating of "The Little Prince" reached 9.2 points. Yang Yang has ever received the highest evaluation.
Here's what netizens said about it:
"In the scene I watched, there were mostly adults, can you imagine the scene where the whole audience cried? I heard a child ask his parents, 'Dad, why are those brothers and sisters crying?' and Dad replied, 'Because roses are beautiful, and foxes are beautiful, brothers and sisters don't know which one to choose.'" ’”
"Whose rose were you, and whose fox are you now. ”
"Those lines that make people get goosebumps when they hear it, but they like it to death. I miss last year's starry sky 44 times a day, just as you see the sunset 44 times a day."
"The music is so good that you can loop a single song all day, and you can use a screenshot as a screensaver at will, there are really not many movies like this, and five stars are not too much. ”
"The tears that I couldn't stop showing showed that I hadn't forgotten what it was like to be a child. ”
"With exquisite pictures and delicate emotions, it can be said that it is the best domestic animated film in the past decade. ”
"To be honest, I wasn't optimistic about Yang Yang doing animation at first, but after watching "The Little Prince", I realized that I was wrong, no matter what field the genius is in, he can make amazing results. ”
"Yang Yang's voice is really good to hear, that kind of magnetism, like whispering in your ear. I couldn't stand it anymore, my heart melted. ”
...
Someone explained the success of "The Little Prince" in this way, and Yang Yang found it very interesting.
"Everyone's subconscious longs for a chance to regain their innocence, and coincidentally, Yang Yang caught up. ”
In addition to Yang Yang, there is another name that is familiar to many people.
"Visual light and shadow", this small animation studio, because of a "The Little Prince", has a bit of a feeling of becoming famous all over the world.
Yang Yang was not stingy with Ou Chengren's main creators, not only gave everyone a generous bonus, but also chartered them a plane to the Maldives and gave them a small long vacation.
Of course, the task after returning is still arduous, and preparations for the next animated film, "Frozen", will begin.
The fairy tale book of "Frozen", Yang Yang has already sent it to Traveler Publishing House, and their friendly cooperation continues, and in North America, the book has begun to be sold.
Because of the hot sale of "The Little Prince" and the fame that Yang Yang had saved before, the sales were very good.
The various Little Prince peripheral products that Yang Yang had prepared before were also in a mess, and the manufacturers he contacted had increased production many times.
Moreover, there are also agents in various markets such as North America who continue to contact Yang Yang, hoping to win the agency authority around the little prince.
It took Yang Yang half a month to get these things done.
Now when you walk out on the street, you can see posters and toys of the little prince everywhere, and children are crazy about it.
In the words of one parent: "There is nothing that a child can't handle as a little prince's doll, and if there is, buy him two." ”
This is evident from this.
In the following time, Yang Yang watched the number in his bank account grow at an astonishing rate every day.
At the beginning, he had a hunch that a few fairy tales he inadvertently told would become his biggest gold mountain. And such a mountain of gold, he still holds several of them tightly in his hand.
Yang Yang has never had any concept of money, he has bought a lot of cars and houses, and his quality of life in terms of food and clothing is gradually improving, but his biggest interest is still making movies, and he feels comfortable when he invests money in movies.
At the beginning of July, Yang Yang took Guoguo on a plane to the United States, and this time, he was really blowing the horn of attack on Hollywood.
Yang Yang went to New York first and met with Thomson, this guy is now more enthusiastic about Yang Yang, and the fire of "The Little Prince" has also made him a lot of money.
Yang Yang just said hello to him, and then inadvertently revealed his idea of looking for a teenage girl to be the heroine of his next movie.
Thomson immediately showed great courtesy: "Yang, if you are planning to cast in Hollywood, go to him, he will definitely be able to help you a lot." ”
Thomson wrote down a name and number for Yang Yang.
Yang Yang took a look at it, and it said "Keith Walter", a well-known filmmaker.
"Thank you, Tom. Yang Yang smiled with satisfaction and thanked Thomson.
"You're too out-of-the-box, Yang. Thomson exaggerated: "You are my best friend in China." ”
Yang Yang couldn't help laughing, then declined his dinner invitation and said goodbye.
At noon the next day, Yang Yang and Guoguo finally arrived at the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, where there is a famous place called Hollywood.
