The Spring Festival stall is over.

In the end, there was no blockbuster movie, and the Spring Festival box office champion "Journey to the West" had a box office of 2.6 billion.

In fact, the box office performance is very good, but not as many as last year's Spring Festival box office champion.

The second highest-grossing movie during the Spring Festival is the comedy "Night at the Circus" with a box office of 1.9 billion.

Followed closely by "Bear Bears" with a box office of 860 million, ranking third.

The next three movies, one with 820 million yuan, one with 730 million yuan, and one with 560 million yuan, are basically losing money, and none of them can beat "Bear Bears" at the box office.

Originally, there were five popular movies in this year's Spring Festival, including a mythological special effects film, a science fiction film, two comedies, and a romance film.

As a result, only the mythical film "Journey to the West" and the comedy "Night at the Circus" passed the "wall of masterpieces" of "Bear Bears", while the other three popular movies failed to overcome it.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival this year, there is a new standard for measuring bad movies. Anything that cannot beat "Bear Bears" at the box office will be considered a flop.

The final box office of "Bear Bears" also surprised the industry.

It's obviously just a theatrical version of a TV cartoon, but the industry was generally not optimistic about it before it was released, thinking that a box office of 100 million was too high.

However, in the end, it took in 860 million at the box office and became a dark horse at the box office during the Spring Festival.

The gambling agreement signed by Fang Xing and Zhang Changfeng was for a box office of 600 million.

According to this gambling agreement, if the final box office of "Bear Bears" does not reach 600 million, Ark Culture will also need to share the box office with Penguin Pictures based on the 600 million box office.

In other words, if the box office of "Bear Bears" does not reach 600 million, Ark Culture will have to pay to make up for the box office share, and the loss will be very large.

When this gambling agreement spread in the industry, most people felt that Ark Culture was definitely at a loss this time.

After all, 600 million box office is not a box office figure that can be reached casually.

Even among the most popular movies during this year's Spring Festival, one did not reach 600 million.

There are still two films that barely exceed 600 million.

In the eyes of the audience, they only see so-and-so blockbuster movies with billions in box office.

But in fact, for the film industry, the goal of film and television companies in making movies is 99% of the movie box office target is 5.6 billion.

A box office of 600 million means that a movie with an investment of less than 200 million can recover its investment.

There are actually only a handful of theatrical films produced by the film industry with an investment of more than 200 million a year.

For most movies, a box office of 600 million is already an unattainable figure.

However, "Bear Infested: Treasure Hunt" received 860 million solidly, completing the bet.

The movies produced by Ark Culture have once again become business models.

Even the theatrical version of a young cartoon can achieve such a high box office.

Many filmmakers have begun to doubt the market.

It also made many people in the film industry pay attention to this animated film again.

At the beginning, many people working in the film industry were not interested in watching this animated film.

After all, it is a cartoon for young children. Unless they want to accompany their children, few adults will watch it.

However, the success of such a theatrical animated film has made many people in the film industry start to watch this animated film seriously.

After watching it, many people in the film industry have changed their minds and feel that although there are operational reasons for the success of this theatrical animated film, the quality of the film itself is also a key factor.

At least, this theatrical version of the cartoon can be watched by adults. Not to mention how exciting it is, at least it is watchable.

…

After the Spring Festival holiday, major film and television companies began to go to work one after another.

Due to the success of "Bear Bears", many animation companies have seen new market trends.

As a result, many companies that produce serialized animations have begun to launch theatrical version projects, hoping to catch up with this trend.

However, there are also many animation companies that are calmer and do not blindly follow the trend.

Because after so many years, basically no film and television company has succeeded in following the trend created by Ark Culture.

Ark Culture's "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was a success, raking in 4.6 billion in box office.

Countless film and television companies have looked for cooperation with animation companies and followed suit in producing animated films, spending a lot of money, but very few have succeeded.

There are one or two companies that have produced animated films that are barely successful, with a box office of only 400 to 500 million, which is only a fraction of that of "Nezha".

Then came "The Wandering Earth 1", which opened up the sci-fi film market for Chinese films.

Many film and television companies have followed suit, launching dozens of science fiction film projects a year.

But this time it was even worse, not one of them was successful.

Therefore, major film and television companies have gradually discovered a pattern. There is no way to follow the trend of Ark Culture creation.

Because while Ark Culture has opened up the genre film market, it has also conquered this market.

The reason is very simple. The pioneering film is a masterpiece, and the films that follow the trend cannot be compared at all.

Pearls and jade are in front of me, and I have traveled across the sea, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.

As long as the quality of subsequent movies is not as good as the movies that opened up the market for Ark Culture, they have no chance of success.

Therefore, Fang Xing opened up the market for science fiction films, but at the same time he also set the threshold for this market too high.

The threshold is already as high as the ceiling. How can other film and television companies get over it?

therefore.

Companies in the film industry have learned wisely and stopped blindly following the trend.

…

After the success of "Bear Bears", Fang Xing held a celebration banquet for Nebula Animation.

At the same time, at the celebration banquet, it was announced that the second animated film of "Bear Bear" has been approved, and the production plan for the fourth season of "Bear Bear" has also been arranged.

Nebula Animation is full of motivation.

Fang Xing also announced that in the future, the animated film "Bear Bears" will be a regular program during the Spring Festival every year, and one film will be released every year to continue this "wall of masterpieces."

besides.

There is also the second season project of "That Rabbit", which is about to start production.

Nebula Animation has a full schedule of projects in the new year.

…

After the Spring Festival holiday.

The post-production of "The Wandering Earth 2" has begun at a fast pace.

Fang Xing personally communicated with Sun Jianqi about the special effects, especially the space elevator, and the special effects strived for authenticity.

The space elevator crisis is the first climax of "The Wandering Earth 2". Once this special effect is produced, it can set a high tone for the movie.

besides.

The post-production of "The Three-Body Problem 2" is also in progress.

This part was mainly responsible for Zhang Yigao. After Fang Xing saw the shooting materials and the produced special effects samples, he thought it was pretty good and made a few suggestions before leaving it to Zhang Yigao to focus on the post-production of "The Wandering Earth 2".

The filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" was completed years ago.

However, the dubbing has not been done yet.

After the Spring Festival holiday, we need to re-schedule the actors for dubbing.

It's easier to arrange dubbing schedules.

Because there is no need for a set or other actors to play the part, whichever actor has time can come directly to dub, and those who are not scheduled can be played later.

In addition to dubbing, there is also a soundtrack in progress.

Among them, Fang Xing was responsible for the production of three theme songs.

The first theme song "Human is_", this song requires very high singing skills.

This is not a problem for Ark Culture.

There are too many singers under our banner who can sing, and some of them have suitable voices.

Fang Xing directly asked Lu Ming to come over and sing "Human Is_", record a demo, and then asked him to go back to practice, and go directly to the recording studio to record in two days.

The second theme song is "Long Flow", and Fang Xing is going to sing this theme song with Liu Hanyi.

For the third theme song "I Am", Fang Xing came in person.

By the time all three songs were recorded and the soundtrack was almost finished, it was almost summer vacation.

Special effects production is also nearing completion.

This time "The Wandering Earth 2" has more than 3,000 light effects shots, and almost 300 million was spent on light effects in half a year.
