Chapter 767: The First Day

The premiere of "Frozen" and its simultaneous release in North America and China naturally attracted the attention of countless people, especially those entertainment media, who quickly pounced on it like a shark that smelled fishy!

Before the premiere began, countless messages were released by them.

"The premiere of Lao Bai's new work "Frozen", can it replicate the box office miracle of "Spirited Away"?"

"A Japanese animation, an American style, can Lao Bai's crossover be like movies and TV series, and surprise us again?"

……

This is the media in Huaxia, and basically focuses on Lao Bai's head. In their opinion, the script was written by Lao Bai, the soundtrack was made by Lao Bai, and even Lao Bai's Dream Factory, which invested in this animation, accounted for a large part, which shows that this movie is Lao Bai's work, there is nothing wrong with it!

But in North America or elsewhere, more attention is on the established Caboca animation company.

In the field of animation, the two are not at the same level at all.

So after the premiere in North America, a large number of movie reviews were released quickly. Caboca's media public relations ability is not to say, plus this is a family-friendly type of animated blockbuster, and the investment is as high as 200 million US dollars, similar movies have long avoided this schedule, so whether it is the quality of the animation itself that impressed them, or Capoca's money is well spent, in short, the major media have received a lot of praise!

"The icy visuals, the emotionally charged core, and of course, Laobai's talented musicianship make Frozen a great animated film!"

"This year, no animation has surpassed Frozen, and there is no doubt that this is another classic of Capoca animation."

"A cartoon made purely for children, maybe you can guess the ending immediately after watching the beginning, but believe me, you still can't wait to watch it!"

"Magical laobai, tells a magical story! Each character's personality is so distinct, they drive the plot forward, tell a heartwarming and joyful story, hilarious, tearful, and ultimately the perfect finale - the perfect Christmas gift for girls all over the world! ”

……

In China, the media reprinted a large number of these comments.

There's no way, domestic audiences still like to watch this.

Even if many people think that this is Lao Bai's work, don't forget that the status of Chinese animation in this era is still far, far from Japan and the United States. Especially the so-called mainstream works that have been blown in recent years, the technical level has gone up a lot, but the level of storytelling still makes people speechless. So even with the success of Spirited Away, many people are still worried.

But with the touting of the Americans, then no problem!

So after the domestic premiere, Lao Bai Blowing Yiye Zhiqiu also quickly published his own film review: "An animation masterpiece full of surprises!" is not only a perfect picture, but also a story core full of positive energy, in this impetuous era, Lao Bai and Capoca Animation Company used a "Frozen" to let us see the charm of a real fairy tale again! Lao Bai's new work, I give full marks! ”

is as touted as Yiye Zhiqiu, as well as countless domestic media.

Some of them are the public relations that Hafei Animation found, and some of them are joining in the fun and gaining popularity, of course, more of them are really full of expectations for domestic animation, so they pay attention to Lao Bai.

In the Internet era, the comments of these new media have entered the eyes of fans at a faster speed, and the pre-sale box office of "Frozen" in North America and China has begun to climb rapidly, and more parents have begun to notice this animation, especially those who have read the original version, which has been waiting for a long time......

……

"Mom, hurry up!"

Looking at his mother Li Ran, who was still packing up her things, Zhao Han shouted angrily: "The movie is about to start, why are you always grinding?" Hurry up, if you're late, you might not see Anna and Elsa's childhood! ”

"Grinding, always?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhao Zhihuo's face instantly turned green.

Sure enough, before he could open his mouth to reprimand his daughter, his wife Li Ran became angry: "Grinding? You little girl still thinks I'm grinding? You and I will just leave as you say? That's fine, as long as you don't shout thirsty while watching the movie, and don't ask me for wet wipes if you get your hands dirty......"

"I'm not looking for you, it's sold in other movie theaters!"

As his daughter began to talk back on her daily basis, Zhao Zhihuo couldn't help but roll his eyes and slapped him on the forehead. This little girl at home is too much of a headache, especially in the past few months, it seems that she has grown up all of a sudden, and the little bean bag at the age of a few years has learned to talk back to her parents and raise the bar, which always makes Li Ran angry......

However, after looking at the time, Zhao Zhihuo still hurriedly started to make peace: "Okay, okay, it's really not early, if you want to watch a movie, hurry up!" ”

"Hmph, that's what you're used to!"

Li Ran glared at Zhao Zhihuo, still nagging dissatisfiedly: "Listen to what your daughter said, now you dislike me...... Zhao Zhihuo, you say, did you teach this? By the way, you usually keep saying that I am ...... rubbing."

In the midst of the noise, the three finally came to the movie theater near their home.

After Zhao Zhihuo took the ticket as fast as he could, there were only five minutes left before the opening, and he hurried in. At this time, the theater was almost full, and most of them were parents with children, and some young people who were obviously couples. At least twenty or thirty children are gathered in a theater that can accommodate more than 100 people, and the lively scene can be imagined.

"Daddy, Daddy, give me glasses!"

Zhao Zhihuo and Li Ran felt that it was too noisy, but their daughter Zhao Han was extremely adaptable, and even a little excited, as soon as they sat down, they clamored for 3D glasses, and then after a while, they began to ask for water to drink and want to eat, until the lights in the theater dimmed and advertisements began to play on the big screen.

"This animation, it's not going to be like Chihiro, is it?"

When her daughter began to pay attention to the advertisement, Li Ran asked a little worriedly. During the summer vacation, they took their daughter to see Spirited Away, and although it turned out to be a good anime, there were some places at the time, such as Chihiro's parents turning into pigs, and the demons and monsters when the bathhouse opened, all scared the children! So this time, when he heard that it was still a script written by Lao Bai, Li Ran was still a little worried subconsciously.

"Don't worry, absolutely not!"

Zhao Zhihuo, who was also worried about this, had already studied it, and said confidently: "Everyone has said that this is a gift to all the little princesses, so that they can learn to be strong and brave, honest and kind...... Besides, haven't you read all the original picture books? It must be a cartoon with positive energy slowly, don't worry! ”

Compared with his wife, Zhao Zhihuo has much more confidence in idols.

"Well, I hope so."

Li Ran is still a little skeptical, after all, not to mention "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit", it is Sun Peng's other scripts, either the agents fight and kill, or the serial killer or something, how can she not make her feel uneasy as a mother? If it weren't for the fact that the picture book that was also Lao Bai's work looked normal, this time she wouldn't have let her daughter have the opportunity to see this animation for the first time, at least she had to wait for two days and listen to other people's opinions......

……

Just when Zhao Zhihuo's family was sitting in the cinema, waiting for "Frozen" to start, Fang Lina was also paying close attention to the movie in the office of Hafei Animation Headquarters.

"So far, today's box office is more than 74.6 million!"

Holding the data in his hand, a young subordinate said excitedly: "Of course, it's not even six o'clock, and we estimate that we can win at least 30 million tonight, which means that breaking 100 million on the first day is already a sure thing...... Mr. Fang, you must know that this is Wednesday! ”

"Hmm, not bad, what about attendance?"

Biting her lip, Fang Lina nodded calmly and asked.

A family carnival animation released on Wednesday broke 100 million at the box office, and there is no doubt that this is indeed a very outstanding result! But to be honest, it is still a lot short of Fang Lina's expectations - at least in her opinion, the big investment of 200 million US dollars, how can it be a little better?

"In terms of attendance, it has basically reached 40%!"

After glancing at the data in his hand, the subordinate nodded and said, "This result is already great for Wednesday!" It's just because of the problem of film scheduling...... Mr. Fang, you also know that two blockbusters were just released last weekend, and everyone is staring at this schedule, so our scheduling rate is a bit low! And "Frozen" is an animated movie after all, and the domestic attitude towards animation ...... Ahem, it's still not the same as the American side. ”

The filming of animated films is definitely not comparable to ordinary blockbusters, this is the national condition of China, and it is also the pain in the hearts of these animators. So young men know, Mr. Fang must be able to understand.

After a moment of silence, the room nodded slowly, and then asked, "Well, what is your countermeasure?" ”

"One still depends on the attendance of the next two days, and the other is to wait for the box office results in the United States!"

After hesitating for a moment, the subordinate finally said calmly: "If the attendance rate continues to rise, it will definitely allow major theaters to increase our film scheduling rate!" But I think it's more important to look at the box office in the United States, and it's best to be a big hit, so that it will be more beneficial to us! After all, in the field of animation, in fact, domestic audiences still believe in the strength of Hollywood......"
