"Hello, I'm Mo Xiaomin, a reporter from Flying Fox News, just call me Xiaomin." Mo Xiaomin first introduced herself, "Then let's start next." ”

"What's your husky's name?"
"Xiaobai."
"How old is it?"
"Five months."

"If you believe, then it's true, and if you don't, it's false." Tie Ling did not answer directly, but gave such an ambiguous answer.
Mo Xiaomin asked some more questions, such as whether Tie Ling usually trained Xiaobai, and also asked some questions about Tie Ling himself. After taking a lot of photos, Mo Xiaomin returned to the company.

Sotura Town, Zimbabwe. When the news spread that a cartoon was being shown at an elementary school, not only children but also many adults rushed to watch it. This inexplicable cartoon broadcast activity has attracted widespread attention, and the story of the gourd baby has begun to circulate in the land of Africa.
Zhao Xiaochuan and Guo Mei talked on the phone, the domestic box office of "Gourd Baby" is growing steadily at a rate of 30 million yuan per day, and a sum of money is invested in Africa in the company's account.
In addition to the investment in Africa, because the fame of "Gourd Baby" began to spread, cinemas in some prosperous countries in Africa began to release "Gourd Baby", which generated a small box office.
South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa. South Africa is very rich in mineral resources, and it is the richest country in Africa. At this time, the animated film "Hulu Baby" was being shown in many cinemas in South Africa.
South Africa is not like many poor countries in Africa, so UNICEF did not show cartoons here for free, but the momentum generated by the event spread throughout South Africa.
Many people come to the cinema to see what this animated film, whose name has spread all over Africa, is really like.
In addition to South Africa, there are some richer countries and cities in Africa.
Kenya, the country Zhao Xiaochuan came to when he first arrived in Africa. Kenya has a well-developed tourism industry and is not very poor. In the capital Nairobi, the cinema here has reached an agreement with Zhao Xiaochuan to broadcast "Hulu Baby".
UNICEF volunteers found a vacant lot in a slum area in Nairobi and played the open-air film "Hulu Baby" every evening. At this time, the open space is crowded with children who come to watch cartoons. Most children have seen this cartoon more than once.
In addition to the children in the slums, there are also many children from wealthy families who come to watch.
"Dad, I want to go to the shantytown to watch cartoons, I heard that it is very good."
"Son, I'll take you to the cinema to watch that cartoon, there's it in the cinema."
"I heard that it can be watched for free, why did we go to the cinema?"
"What do we do in shantytowns, we have to go to the cinema if we want to see it."

Recently, in the media in Europe and the United States, a news article has attracted attention. Much of the story consisted of photographs of black children huddled in dilapidated classrooms, looking intently at cartoons playing on screens.
This news story tells the story of many children in Africa who have not seen cartoons, and an animation company funded UNICEF International to carry out this campaign to get African children to watch cartoons.
Anyone who has seen the news will have the scenes in those photos lingering in their minds. That kind of focused expression, as well as the changes of joy and anger that appear with the plot, and a certain hope emerges in the depths of the children's eyes, which makes people unforgettable.
Although this news did not deliberately mention the animation company, nor did it mention the name of "Hulu Baby", it still became popular, and more and more people began to pay attention to Africa and this cartoon called "Hulu Baby".
Many people who watched the news began to donate to UNICEF, and many people were interested in the cartoon and began to look for it. And the news that "Gourd Baby" has just been released in theaters has also begun to circulate.
It has been two weeks since "Hulu Baby" began to be released, and "Cars 3" at this time is still being released in theaters. For this kind of film with good box office momentum, it is not uncommon for it to be released in theaters for a month. And "Gourd Baby" was taken off the shelves by various theaters as early as a few days after its release.
Theater operators who smelled business opportunities contacted Cainiao Film and Television Company's offices in various countries, and "Hulu Baby" was re-released. As expected, the re-released "Gourd Baby" attracted many audiences to watch, and the box office soared with a crazy number.
In China, because of the international impact of the domestic animation "Gourd Baby", Cainiao Film and Television Company and "Gourd Baby" caused a sensation. In particular, the high box office of "Gourd Baby" in international theaters has made many Chinese people who love cartoons feel excited. This is the first time that a domestic animated film has received such high international recognition.
In the past, it was difficult for domestic cartoons to go abroad, but "Gourd Baby" not only went abroad, but also achieved amazing box office results.
The impact of "Hulu Baby" is so great that CCTV's news network broadcast a piece of news about it. At this time, domestic theaters were still showing "Gourd Baby".
Following the wave of the international box office, the domestic box office has also begun to grow wildly. The domestic box office was originally slightly higher than "Cars 3", and now it is far surpassed in an instant.
Originally, the international box office of "Cars 3" far exceeded that of "Hulu Baby", but now, the box office of "Hulu Baby" is catching up with an exaggerated attitude.
On the contrary, at this time, "Cars 3" because of the popularity of "Gourd Baby", the box office plummeted every day, not only "Cars 3", but all the films released at the same time were affected by "Gourd Baby", and the attendance rate decreased compared with before.
In this way, Zhao Xiaochuan's inexplicable trip to Africa achieved a shocking reversal at the international box office of "Gourd Baby".
