Chapter 217: Domestic vs. Foreign
There is a big difference between whether a movie is released first in China or abroad.
The advantage of being released in China is that piracy can be minimized, so the domestic box office may be a little better.
If it is released abroad, it has to take a certain risk, if it does not achieve any fame abroad, then the reputation of the film will be poor, and it will be much more difficult to achieve a good box office in China.
But if you are very confident in your animated film, believing that it will achieve good results abroad, and in the end it really achieves good results abroad, these will turn into domestic advertising, making this movie more appealing.
For the movie "Kung Fu Panda", Tang Feng is very confident, and he is confident that this movie will definitely set off a whirlwind around the world and will also sweep the global box office.
So according to this situation, he should choose to release it abroad first, but in this way, there is a problem that Tang Feng must face, that is, doing so may break the hearts of domestic fans.
We support you so much, but you let those foreigners enjoy it first, what about us, what are we?
This may sound incredible, but the fact that anyone mentions it quickly spreads through the not-so-good mood.
So after some thought, Tang decided to release it at the same time around the world, whether it was North America or anywhere else, it would be released at the same time, and this time was set for the summer of this year.
The summer heat is the hottest time of summer, so if you can go to a cool movie theater to watch a movie that will make your whole body and mind happy, it should be a good choice, right?
After the matter of where and when it will be released is settled, the next thing to do is the last round of publicity.
And when promoting, Tang Hua Entertainment Company was very angry, claiming that this anime would sweep the world, and let fans all over the world know that their Great Zhou Dynasty could also make good anime movies.
A loud breath can sometimes be a deterrent, but sometimes it can be counterproductive.
For example, those animation people in the Wa Kingdom are very unaccustomed to this attitude of Tanghua Entertainment Company, and they immediately launched a step they are very optimistic about the animated film "Robot Cat" to compete with Tanghua Entertainment Company's "Kung Fu Panda".
They want Tanghua Entertainment Company to see what the real animation empire is, and it can only be their country's.
The animation industry of the Wa Kingdom launched a movie that was released on the same day as the "Kung Fu Panda" movie launched by Tang Hua Entertainment Company, which was obviously intended to provoke Tang Hua Entertainment Company.
And this kind of provocation Tanghua Entertainment Company has seen a lot, so they gladly responded.
But at this time, many otaku in the Great Zhou Dynasty were entangled.
"Robot Cat" is also a movie they have been looking forward to for a long time, and they also like this movie, but Tanghua Entertainment's "Kung Fu Panda" has their most sincere expectations.
In between, they have a hard time making a choice.
Is it patriotism, or love anime?
There are too many choices in life, and this situation of two movies making it more difficult for them to make a choice.
Because it is difficult to make a choice, there are naturally various wars on the Internet.
"Naturally, I want to support Tang Feng, his first animated film, how can we not support it, I support "Kung Fu Panda", and resolutely don't watch "Robot Cat"."
"That's right, support Feng Zai and watch "Kung Fu Panda"."
"Kung Fu Panda is Tang Feng's first anime, and I don't know what the situation is, I will go to the cinema to support Kung Fu Panda, but I will not address Robot Cat. "Robot Cat" is a director's anime movie that I like very much, and I must support it. ”
"That's right, the robot cat is actually very good, we can't just wronged us not to see it because they carried it......"
There were many discussions, and in the midst of this kind of discussion, "Kung Fu Panda" and "Robot Cat" were released.
The first is the situation in the country.
"Kung Fu Panda" was released, and the box office has exceeded 100 million in half a day, which is nothing to Tang Feng.
So there's nothing to celebrate, they just want to know what the final box office of the day is, whether there is more "Robot Cat", and then there's just word of mouth.
The day of midsummer was a long one, and finally, the day was over, and everyone was looking forward to knowing the outcome.
The final box office of "Kung Fu Panda" was 250 million, which has broken the record for an animated film of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no animated film has ever had such a high box office in a day, and Tang Feng still maintains his high box office level.
But "Robot Cat" is not low, he has a box office of more than 100 million points.
The box office of the anime was not particularly high, and it was already very good for "Robot Cat" to have this box office, but although it was very good, he still lost to "Kung Fu Panda"
But the producer of "Robot Cat" did not admit his failure, because he still had to look at word of mouth, and he knew very well early on that with Tang Feng's popularity, he couldn't compete with Tang Feng at the box office, so he was ready to be on word of mouth.
He doesn't believe that Tang Feng can exclude any high-quality animation, whether it is from the plot or technology, in these aspects, they will always be the first.
But the final result disappointed them, because the Internet praised "Kung Fu Panda", whether it was from the plot or from the production of special effects, netizens were very respectful.
And in their opinion, the plot of "Kung Fu Panda" is a little more mature and is for everyone to see, but "Robot Cat" is a little naïve and only suitable for children in their teens.
In this way, everyone naturally admires Kung Fu Panda more.
In foreign countries, everyone's most direct understanding of Huaxia is kung fu, so "Kung Fu Panda" is more popular, as for "Robot Cat" or something, everyone can't understand at all, why do people still shoot such childish things?
The box office of "Robot Cat" in the Great Zhou Dynasty looks good, mainly because they are close and have similar cultures, but in North America and other places, they are powerless to fight back, and the box office in one day is only a few million dollars, but "Kung Fu Panda" is more than 200 million, which is higher than other movies released in the same period.
Obviously, this anime dispute between the Wa Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty was won by "Kung Fu Panda" of the Great Zhou Dynasty Tanghua Entertainment Company.
Foreign people are very shocked, how can the Great Zhou Dynasty make such a powerful anime movie, is the anime going to be rewritten from now on?
That's right, in the future, the world's most powerful animation is no longer the Wa Kingdom, but the Great Zhou Dynasty, when it comes to animation, it will only make people think of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the Tang Hua Entertainment Company of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For Tang Hua Entertainment, the success of "Kung Fu Panda" is just the beginning, because Tang Feng will not stop after filming such a one. (To be continued.) )
