"What? 530 million!?" The next day, Zhao Meng received the news and almost threw his phone down! He finally managed to resist his irritability and confirmed again: "Is this box office news true?"

"It's absolutely true, and now the media knows it!"

The subordinates answered affirmatively. When Zhao Meng heard the media, he immediately felt a little dizzy and hung up the phone with trembling hands.

"What I just talked about is the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century"?" The wife, who was eating breakfast, looked pale and showed a look of surprise: "530 million, is this number too fake? Ordinary movies can't reach it?"

"That's it." Zhao Meng closed his eyes heavily: "Things can't be worse!"

The box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" was so high, and the total box office of 3 billion has become the favorite of Phoenix. However, the worst problem is not the box office, but the huge impact of this number. The box office exceeded 500 million on the first day. It is not difficult to imagine how big a wave it will cause in society!

"So amazing!" Early in the morning, some newspaper booths set up on the street were surrounded by people. Today, many newspaper headlines focused on the first day of the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" revealed in the middle of the night. One night passed and people were surprised to find that the whole world had changed.

"More than 500 million! "The Magician of the Early Century" actually has such high box office data. It's really amazing!" "It looks like a fake!" "Yes, I always think that animated movies are niche movies, but this number has changed my worldview!" "Bai Yan's previous movies were at this level, right?"

While people were surprised, this box office result also triggered an earthquake-like effect in the well-informed director group.

In fact, it is rare for the four directors who joined Phoenix. Their first-day movies directed by them in the past had a box office of more than 500 million. This means that they were leaving traditional movies and transforming into animation directors not only did not suffer any losses, but were consistent with their performance in the best period.

The directors were shocked by an animated film that could create such a huge first-day box office. This box office was enough to change their long-standing concept - now there are a lot of viewers who go to the cinema to watch animated films, on the contrary, it is very large!

This is the first time that the directors have seen the popularity of animated movies with their own eyes - the audience size of this category is no longer a "child level", but it is indeed a "giant-like existence". Chinese animated movies have great potential!

"The audience market for animated movies is mature!", "This kind of movie can be done!", "Why didn't we discover it before!"

For a time, many directors were excited. A brand new world appeared ahead of them, and opportunities were everywhere.

Although the popularity of "The Magician of the Early Century" is closely related to the original animation, this huge box office proves that the adaptability of the animation style is not much smaller than that of traditional movies. The potential of animated movies has been fully demonstrated, and there is little competition for this kind of movie - if this market can be used well, a bunch of famous animation directors will appear in the future.

This is a breath of change, especially for many ambitious young directors, the threshold for traditional movies is higher and the interests are fixed. It is necessary to rely on powerful star resources and media resources, and it is difficult for talented newcomers to get up.

But animated movies do not require good relations with various celebrity companies. As long as there is a good animation team, an excellent script can be made - this is a blue ocean that has not been explored.

"Haha, the wave of animated movies is coming!"

With the changes in the concepts of some directors, a few animation companies in the animation circle also smelled the storm. They cheered for the amazing box office of "The Magician of the Early Century", and judged that this box office would inevitably bring about a wave of production of animated movies.

In China, movies are a very profitable industry, but the cost of making movies is not small. In the past, when "Five Centimeters of Seconds" was released, many animation companies considered making movies, but most of them gave up because of the cost.

However, it is different now. The popularity of "The Magician of the Early Century" will change investors' concepts, and they will be more interested. Small animation companies will be more convenient to inhale investment and easier to find directors to join.

"Thank you, thank you Teacher He Xi!"

Many animation companies are intimately grateful to He Xi. This cartoonist who stands at the ding point of the animation industry often makes the light of other companies unable to be emitted. However, in recent years, more and more small companies have changed their views on He Xi - he is indeed a monster that blocks the sky, but this monster has led them to open up rich fields.

Whether it is comics, animations, text adventure games, voice actors and current animated movies, He Xi is standing in the forefront of the industry to explore the market. In the huge market he has opened up, many small companies have survived and developed.

Without Hexia, the cake of China's animation industry would not become bigger, and the lives of other animation companies would be more difficult. Therefore, they hate and love. As time goes by, the hatred becomes less and less, but the love becomes more and more...

More and more people are discovering He Xi’s importance and begin to praise the new era he brought.

Moreover, in recent years, Phoenix Company has gradually become open, which is why He Xi's reputation is increasing day by day. Now most of the popular comic copyrights under Phoenix Company are sold to the public, while Phoenix Company only does He Xi's animation, and many animation companies have formed close ties with Phoenix.

The same is true for the voice actor industry. Phoenix's voice actors are open, and unlike Zhongxia Company, those big stars will not dubb the animations of small companies. They only dubbed in Zhongxia Company's animations. After all, this family has a lot of animations.

Therefore, a strange phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious now. Zhongxia and celebrity companies cooperate to fight against Phoenix. However, in the entire animation industry, more people like Phoenix and are hostile to Zhongxia. Zhongxia is too close to the entertainment industry, and because of the greedy production of animation in the past, they seized the prime time of various TV stations. Instead, many people feel bad.

Phoenix Company is so powerful. But their number of animations at the same time was not large. It left opportunities for others, which is a good example! However, Zhongxia completely ignored others' lives and death. Their comics were completely self-produced and sold, and there were many animation studios, and the voice actors did not cooperate with others.

It would be strange if you don’t make your colleagues disgusted!

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Ninghai, Phoenix Building.

Alice had just arrived and had not gotten off the bus. She saw many reporters standing at the entrance of the building with cameras or microphones. When they saw someone entering and leaving the building, they gathered around. A minister of Phoenix Company was simply unable to move forward and had to rely on the security guards at the door to get in.

"Many reporters, why don't we go in through the back door?" Alice asked with her eyes narrowed, with bloodshot in her eyes. After getting the first-day box office data last night, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep. Most of the night she was thinking about how to help "The Magician of the Early Century" to a higher level next.

"No need." Xu Jing was sitting next to Alice, and he shook his head.

Alice used to work separately from him. But today, seeing her eyes turned red, Xu Jing asked her to come with her in the car. Anyway, since Alice became vice president, the relationship between the two is not a big secret, and there is no need to hide it.

Xu Jing asked the car to stop, reached out to open the car door, and said with a smile: "Now the back door must be full of reporters, it's the same wherever you go!"

He got out of the car without caring, and Alice followed behind. As soon as the two got out of the car, several reporters with sharp eyes quickly ran over: "Mr. Xu is there!"

When other reporters heard the voice, they turned around and saw Xu Jing and the others. They all lit up their eyes and rushed over. In just a blink of an eye, the door of the originally blocked building suddenly became empty. The security guards also ran over and quickly protected Xu Jing and the others.

"Let's ask someone to give the security department some rewards..." Alice thought so, but although the security guards tried their best to help them open the way, the reporters around were still making noises and loudly asked about the box office.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, may I ask "The Magician of the Early Century" won a first-day box office of 530 million yuan. Is this true? "Mr. Xu, are you going to hold a press conference today?" "Miss Alice, I heard that you founded DreamWorks, is it true?" "When will Teacher He Xi come back? Is he satisfied with this movie?"

The scene was chaotic. Although many security guards shouted, "Go aside, don't get too close!" and "Don't come over! We will use tough methods!", a reporter accidentally bumped into Xu Jing in the middle, which scared everyone.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked nervously after the security guard opened the reporter. Xu Jing was quite old and she was worried that he would be injured.

The reporters around were also a little nervous and no longer forced them so radically. However, this was just a small collision. Xu Jing, who was in good health, was not injured - he did not even show his unhappiness as usual.

Xu Jing was in a good mood today and his face was always rosy. Seeing that the reporters' attitude became calm, he took the initiative to answer several questions: "The box office is real, this cannot deceive people! As for the press conference, we are not sure whether it will be held. If there is news, everyone will be welcome to attend then!"

Seeing his attitude change, the reporters were very excited and asked new questions in a fight. However, Xu Jing walked towards the building while only picking up questions that he was interested in.

Before entering the building, a female reporter asked anxiously: "If the box office is true! Then "The Magician of the Early Century" has such a high box office, will Mr. Xu have any plans for the future? Will he still make animated movies?"

"Plan?" Xu Jing stopped and turned to the reporter and smiled: "Of course, I heard the number of 530 million, and everyone began to consider whether Phoenix should invest all its resources in making movies. The box office is so scary. A movie earned more than I did in my first half of my life!"

This passage caused laughter from many reporters. The box office on the first day can be estimated to be the total box office of "The Magician of the Early Century", which is indispensable. Compared with the past business of Phoenix, it is indeed a big profit. Is it true that Phoenix really wants to transform into a movie?

"Cough!" Alice, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but cough. After attracting the reporters' eyes, she spoke, "Just Xu was joking just now, don't take it seriously."

How could Phoenix only make movies? Although "The Magician of the Early Century" has a big box office, anyone can see that this box office achievement cannot be separated from the popularity of "Detective Conan" comics and animations.

Comics and animation will be the core business of Phoenix foreseeable future and will not change within decades. In fact, the coordinated development of multiple businesses will also help Phoenix avoid risks in the future and become a diverse cultural group.

"Mr. Xu, were you kidding just now?"

A reporter asked Xu Jing for a question. Xu Jing glanced at Alice and then showed an apology expression. He also found that he was too happy. The sentence just now was too arbitrary. If he was not clarified in time and reported it, other departments of Phoenix Company would be heartbroken.

"Of course it's a joke." Xu Jing followed Alice's words and said with a smile: "But "The Magician of the Early Century" is so successful, the film business will indeed become one of our company's key businesses in the future."

“Is this going to say there will be film production in the future?”

"Of course, we will increase our investment in DreamWorks and strive to release one or two movies every year in the future." Xu Jing nodded, but he did not say that this matter was actually confirmed at the beginning of the establishment of DreamWorks.

However, with the success of "The Magician of the Early Century", Phoenix Company is now more confident to say this - the average annual output of the two movies is not difficult for them. Not to mention anything else, it is easy for "Chong Elf" and "Detective Conan" to launch a theatrical version of the movie every year.

The reporters soon thought of this and showed a dumbfounded expression.

"The theatrical version of "Detective Conan" is so popular, so the theatrical version of "Chong Elf" is probably not bad!", "It's too cool to have two super popular animation copyrights like picking up money!", "Damn it, why does A-shares not have the stock of Phoenix Company, it will definitely rise sharply!"

This is their psychology, and there are also several reporters from animation fans who feel cold.
Chapter completed!
