Just as "Frozen" was overturned in one fell swoop on China's home turf, "Kung Fu Panda" suffered the same fate in the United States. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

13 hours behind China, the North American weekly box office charts were announced, and "Kung Fu Panda" collected 59 million US dollars, which is not bad among all movies.

However, the biggest misfortune of "Kung Fu Panda" is that he chose to release it with "Frozen".

Because the box office of "Frozen" reached a crazy $70 million in the first week. When the senior executives of DreamWorks saw the results, they were all unspeakable.

Regarding this result, the executives of DreamWorks are honestly a little depressed, but they also know very well that compared with the Chinese audience, the superstition of big names in the United States is much smaller. What's more, the theme of kung fu was really popular in 2006, but it was not so popular in the past two years.

And when it comes to his status in the hearts of Americans, Chen Xueqian's popularity is higher than Spielberg's. Although Spielberg's film achievements are much higher than Chen Xueqian's, Chen Xueqian's achievements in other aspects completely killed him.

Americans have a mythical belief in the American dream of teenage fame. As a model of becoming famous as a teenager and starting from scratch, Chen Xueqian has a super high popularity among young people in the United States, and his movies and novels have also attracted him a lot of popularity. Coupled with his achievements in industry, charity, investment, etc., his popularity is even higher than that of Spielberg, a top director.

What's more, this movie actually has nothing to do with Spielberg at all, he is only a shareholder of DreamWorks, and probably only Chinese will associate the two.

Even if Chen Xueqian and Spielberg collided head-on, when it came to box office appeal, the two were not much different.

This has something to do with the positive image that Chen Xueqian has always maintained in the United States, he did not mess around with lace like other young and famous people, and there was basically no negative press. The only thing that can be blackened is probably the identity of the Chinese.

But Spielberg, as a Jewish, was also not very popular in the United States. Americans generally do not have a good opinion of the large number of Jews who monopolize the country's wealth.

And from a movie point of view, "Frozen" has good attainments in all aspects such as theme concept, movie screen, dubbing, etc. In addition to many kung fu elements, "Kung Fu Panda" has nothing particularly remarkable.

Even on Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness is significantly lower than that of Frozen.

And I have to say that the 3D effect of "Frozen" is really shocking, Chen Xueqian almost exhausted all the technical resources in his hands, and did not hesitate to steal "Despicable Me 2". The final effect was indeed beyond his expectations.

And "letitgo" sung by Beyoncé is like a battle horn, which suddenly fully stimulates the desire to break through the shackles and question injustice hidden in the hearts of countless women. This made the film very popular among female audiences.

And usually, where there is a large group of women, there must be a shadow of men, so the box office of this movie is out of control.

In the previous life, when "Frozen" was released in the United States, it encountered the terrifying opponent of "The Hunger Games 2", and there were unsolvable bugs like "The Hobbit 2". In this case, it is still in the United States to roll up 400 million US dollars. This shows the strong box office appeal of this film.

Originally, DreamWorks launched "Kung Fu Panda" at this time to suppress Chen Xueqian, but now, although "Kung Fu Panda" has crushed the other party in China, Chen Xueqian's home field, but in the United States, their own local market, they were in turn pressed to the ground by Chen Xueqian and smacked hard.

And judging from the current box office trend, the gap between these two movies will further widen, and this situation simply makes DreamWorks lose face.

And those who shouted that Chen Xueqian Jianglang was exhausted and was about to encounter Waterloo had long disappeared at this time.

In terms of reviews, "Frozen" has received rave reviews.

Among them, "Los Angeles Times", "Playlist" and other media gave full marks "This animated film is a surprise".

"As far as the animated films released in 2013 are concerned, none of them have surpassed the level of "Ice and Snow Adventure"! It's a textbook classic animated film."

"The visual enjoyment of the ice and snow envelops the emotional core, the talented Broadway music style and the cunning plot setting, and the excellent animated film!"

"Humorous and full of experience, this film adds a lot of color to the animation market where major animation studios are constantly repeating themselves."

At a time when today's animations are abandoning fairy tales and starting to create original or even spoof fairy tales, Chen Xueqian once again went the opposite. Kindness reminds us of the charm of fairy tales".

"The princess in crisis and the man with a square chin are paired with eye-catching visuals, and the result is unforgettable."

And the evaluation of "Kung Fu Panda" is not so optimistic.

"It's a very Hollywood-like, market-ready old-fashioned film, and it's not as inspirational as it should be." (Detroit News)

"It's not as original as Ratatouille, nor as funny as Shrek." (Toronto Star)

"It's entertaining enough for children, and it's only a little fun for adult audiences." (Las Vegas Weekly)

For DreamWorks' new film, the main point of contention is his lack of a deeper ideological theme, and there is no deeper core except for routine heroism.

And this is precisely what "Frozen" has done more brilliantly.

The box office and word-of-mouth are not as good as those of opponents, and it can be said that "Kung Fu Panda" is basically hopeless to defeat Chen Xueqian in the North American market.

And just when the U.S. market was defeated, in Japan, "Frozen" also reached the top strongly, leading "Kung Fu Panda" by a large margin.

In South Korea, "Frozen" broke 1 million viewers in 4 days, and the momentum continued unabated after that.

In Europe, "Frozen" is far ahead.

It seems that except for China, a fig leaf that can make "Kung Fu Panda" feel a little gratifying, all other battlefields are completely defeated. And there is no hope of turning over, this feeling is undoubtedly extremely aggrieved.

However, it is not only these people at DreamWorks who are aggrieved!

Just when the leaders of DreamWorks were struggling with the box office this week, the news finally reached China.

An editor of a media outlet with expatriate correspondents in the United States walked into the information gathering room excitedly, "How about it, has the box office rankings been announced in North America?" How much less is Frozen than Kung Fu Panda? Now everyone is waiting to see Chen Xueqian's jokes, and I can't wait to send the news out. ”

As soon as the editor finished speaking, he noticed that his colleague in the collection room was looking at him blankly. This couldn't help but make him a little puzzled, so he tentatively asked, "How much worse?" Ten million dollars? Is it 20 million? It seems that this time Chen Xueqian is really going to die! But think about it, too, who made him so crazy. The investment of 400 million yuan was handed over to an unknown studio in China to do, which is really unbelievable. ”

The editor can be said to have told the hearts of most of his Chinese counterparts, who are jealous that Chen Xueqian, a young man, is sitting on such a huge amount of wealth.

At the same time, it is even more difficult to find that people like Chen Xueqian still want to challenge industry giants like DreamWorks. This is completely inconsistent with the hierarchical notions that are ingrained in their minds. After all, in the depths of the minds of the Chinese people, authority has always been unquestionable.

The editor guessed for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How much?" How much does "Kung Fu Panda" gross? ”

"$59 million!" The editor finally answered his question.

"Awesome, I remember last week's box office champion "Juno" was only more than 20 million, right? It's a direct double. What about Frozen? Has it broken 10 million? If he didn't even have 10 million, Chen Xueqian would have lost all his money this time. ”

This time, the editor also did not sell it, and said directly: "70 million." ”

"70 million, this ・・・・・・ wait, are you sure you're right?" In the middle of the editor's words, he suddenly reacted, and suddenly stared at the editor with a suspicious face.

The editor naturally knew what the other party was thinking, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the North American box office weekly list he had just received to the other party.

The editor didn't bother to ask more, and directly took it and opened it, but this list wiped out his last bit of luck.

"Frozen" had a box office of 70 million in the first week, and "Kung Fu Panda" had a box office of 59 million in the first week. That's impossible! The editor seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, first saying words every year, and finally shouting out.

However, the matter is not over yet, "Not only in the United States, but also in Europe, Japan, and South Korea, "Frozen" has a large lead at the box office, especially in Japan and South Korea, and the momentum of "Frozen" is fierce and scary. ”

After hearing this, the editor sat down in his chair as if he had lost his soul. (To be continued.) )
