After all, Huahui is not a big company like the Big Three.
As a film and television company, although its scale is not small in China, it is definitely not big.
Therefore, the publicity resources that can be invested are also limited.
Just like this time, the entire movie has been promoted as much as possible.
But due to limited funds, they could only ensure that the movie would be a hot search.
As for the hot search ranking, just say whether it’s on the list or not, it’s over.
...
Mr. Qin was not in a particularly good mood at this time.
He felt that the company Tongji Entertainment was destined to defeat him.
Before, I just thought it was best to avoid Tongji Entertainment’s dramas and movies.
But when I had no choice but to run into it twice in a row, I realized how correct my previous decision was.
The director surnamed Li couldn't help but want to complain in his heart at this time.
He actually had a bad premonition before.
It turned out that it was just as he thought. It was all Mr. Qin's fault for opening some champagne in advance to celebrate.
It must have something to do with this.
Now there is suddenly an animated movie from Tongji Entertainment, and I feel like there is nothing left to play.
"It's just an animated movie. Even if it's from Tongji Entertainment, it's not that scary."
"Is it possible that he really robbed all the viewers of the New Year's Day show?"
Mr. Qin couldn't help but speak.
I don’t know if I’m trying to appease the director and producer, or if I’m self-hypnotizing.
Director Li couldn't help it anymore and finally said:
"But Mr. Qin, this "Your Name" has won the box office championship in the island country for a week in a row."
Mr. Qin:......
...
Due to the sudden addition of "Your Name" to the domestic New Year's Day schedule, the final result has become a bit confusing.
At the same time, the island nation was completely dominated by this animated movie that was released for a week.
Cherry Animation, as the producer, was poached.
At this time, many people discovered that this animation company that suddenly appeared was actually a Chinese company.
"Although it is a Chinese company, it is worth learning from other companies in our country!"
"I would say that it is really impossible for these animation companies in the island country to produce animations of this level."
"So what about Chinese companies? It is said that they are all employees of our island country."
Netizens were just having idle discussions, but the sudden appearance of Cherry Animation caused many animation companies in the island country to panic.
This time, it's not just the animated movie "Your Name" that will be released at the same time.
The animated films in the island country still have a wide audience, especially some animations that already have IP bonuses, which are the main source of income for many companies.
But this time, not only some original animated films, but even one of the animated films with its own big IP still failed to compete with "Your Name".
Originally, the basic structure of animation companies in the island country market has been determined.
But the sudden appearance of Cherry animation is more like a spoiler.
The key opponent is still a Chinese company, which is completely uncontrollable.
This caused several major film and television companies to panic for a while.
And although they didn't pay attention to China's news, they still quickly found out some news about Cherry Animation.
China's Tongji Entertainment is a large-scale company that has even gradually shown high market dominance in China in recent years.
A company like this is definitely not short of money.
Even if you want to acquire something or compete by spending money, it is still unlikely to have obvious results.
What's more, this time's "Your Name" is completely a dark horse
There wasn't much publicity in the early stages, but when it was released, the box office suddenly soared.
Nowadays, many companies are actually not afraid of the impact of Cherry Animation on the film market.
Rather, I am worried that this company will suddenly start producing long-form animated series.
That is the biggest blow to their market.
After all, although animated movies are profitable, they are not the basic base of these animation companies.
Some long-form animations are their foundation.
Everyone has no doubt that if Cherry Animation really plans to make feature-length animation, it will not have the ability.
After all, "Your Name" is enough proof.
...
"Ozaki-kun, do we really have no hope of acquiring Cherry Animation?"
Skeleton Animation, one of the largest animation companies in the island country.
He is also the most direct victim of the explosion of "Your Name".
Because the animated film they invested in happened to be in the same period, the box office did not meet expectations at all, and was even much lower.
"Not too possible."
"Cherry Animation's headquarters in China is a large company, and it is estimated that it will not agree to our acquisition."
"What's more, "Your Name" has just received such good results."
Ozaki Eita answered helplessly.
He also didn't expect that the project he was so confident about would end up losing so much money.
"These Chinese people really don't follow any rules."
"Didn't even come to visit us."
Shusaku Tanimoto, the boss of Skeleton Animation, said with some dissatisfaction.
Their skeletons were stabbed in the back by Cherry Animation this time because there was no news before.
Otherwise, since both films are animation works with high investment, you can completely avoid them being released at the same time.
In the past, this was true for most animation companies in the island country.
Who knew that an outsider would come to disrupt the situation.
"It's a pity that the audience is not very resistant to China's companies."
Shusaku Tanimoto said.
Ozaki Eita was not surprised by this.
"The reputation of "Your Name" has been so good that everyone has a different perception of Cherry Animation."
Generally speaking, the audience is the same everywhere.
As long as the work is excellent and sincere enough, it will bring innate goodwill to the audience.
...
The island country is having a headache, and many companies in China are also having a headache at this time.
Even though "Your Name" didn't put much effort into promoting it, the popularity is still high.
In fact, being the weekly box office champion in the island country is just a little extra bonus.
What really makes this anime so popular is its relationship with Tongji Entertainment.
Tongji's current influence in film and television has far surpassed that of some other companies, even the three major companies cannot compare.
There are only a handful of films in China's film and television circles that can rely on the reputation of the producer to bring box office appeal.
But it is truly unique to be able to achieve something like Tongji Entertainment.
Even in such an animated movie, there is no so-called bonus brought by too many well-known actors.
"This is good news!"
"Everyone in the department will organize to watch "Your Name" together tomorrow!"
Ling Jiuqian, the animation department of Station G, announced directly.
The main reason is that a new animated movie suddenly appeared this time, according to their cooperation agreement with Tongji Entertainment.
When "Your Name" is released, the related film and television rights will still be sold to G Station first.
This must be quite good news for them.
Ling Jiuqian certainly hopes that the box office and popularity of "Your Name" will be as high as possible.
There will definitely be a small number of people who go to the theater to watch the movie. When it is released and broadcast online on the G station, the revenue will be quite large.
Just like the previous "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Coco".
...
New Year's Day has finally arrived.
On the day of its release, as expected, the box office of "Your Name" gradually increased.
It achieved a box office of 130 million on the first day, ranking first on the first day of the New Year's Day box office.
However, due to the large number of movies released this New Year's Day, there are still other movies that performed well.
"Your Name" is the only movie with a box office of over 100 million on its first day.
But there are only four or five movies with box office sales exceeding 50 million.
This Phoenix Entertainment film, with an investment of less than RMB 100 million, earned more than RMB 70 million at the box office thanks to good early-stage publicity.
As for Huahui, its performance was mediocre, with a box office of more than 20 million on the first day.
Although if we maintain these results, we will definitely gain something.
But unfortunately, the first-day box office generally depends on how well each company does its promotions.
As for whether the subsequent box office will continue to grow or fall directly below the record, it depends on the quality of the movie.
The rating of "Your Name" on Huaban.com is not as high as that of the island country, but it still got a high score of 8.8 points.
Related reviews online are basically mostly positive.
"Although the style feels different, the level and quality are still very high. I can only say that it is worthy of Cherry Animation."
"Thinking about when Xu Ji announced that he was going to make an animated film, I was skeptical about it, but now it feels like the only domestic animation company that can do it."
"The pictures are so beautiful, and the story design is also very clever. I originally thought that the male and female protagonists just swapped bodies in different time and space, but later I discovered that even time is not in the same dimension."
...
In fact, everyone has seen a lot of discussions about "Your Name" in island countries before.
At the time, I didn't think anything of it. I just felt that Xu Ji could earn money from the audience in the island country, and I felt proud of it.
But when "Your Name" was actually released in China, everyone's reaction was similar to that of audiences in the island country.
Especially on G site, the website with the highest number of two-dimensional users, various related second-generation videos emerge in an endless stream, and the related popularity is also frighteningly high.
Of course, what everyone discusses the most is Xu Ji’s role as a screenwriter.
Obviously there was not much foundation for animation before, but since the emergence of Cherry Animation, everyone has discovered how big an impact a good script can have.
"Xu Ji's scripts are so great. In several of Cherry Animation's works, I feel that the plot is the key."
"Not only the script, but the production level of the studio acquired by Xu Ji is also not low. This guy is really willing to spend money, and he is full of confidence and not afraid of losing money at all."
"Indeed, the investment for the three consecutive animated films is basically not low. Other domestic companies would definitely not dare to do this. After all, the risk is too great. Except for some IPs for children, the rest of the animated films are basically
They all lose money.”
...
Although "Your Name" won the box office championship here, there was no high-profile celebration.
As if everything was taken for granted.
Of course, everyone's response was relatively muted, and more netizens discussed the plot of this animation.
As for the box office, no one thinks that other films of the same period can compete with it.
For Phoenix Entertainment, although his movie only took third place in the same period this time, Li Bokai already seems quite satisfied with this result.
His only hope is to make a small profit.
If the box office is estimated to reach 500 million, it will be considered a success.
Now it seems that although "Your Name" was suddenly announced to be released on New Year's Day, it seemed to be just a false alarm and did not have much impact.
At present, it seems that Phoenix Entertainment's new movie has achieved his expected results.
Even the relevant rating on Huaban.com is 7.3. Although it is not a word-of-mouth explosion, it is still pretty good.
As for how high the box office of "Your Name" is, Li Bokai doesn't really care.
The difference from Phoenix Entertainment is that Huahui at this time.
Mr. Qin felt a lot of pressure again.
This time he originally thought he had a chance to win, but this turned out to be the case.
Although the box office on the first day was average, their investment in this movie was not large, so it does not seem difficult to recover the cost.
However, the movie's reputation is so bad that its rating on Huaban.com did not exceed 6 points.
The following is basically sprayed, and the reputation is completely destroyed.
It is expected that the box office will fall off a cliff in the future.
"Director Li, there is a problem with the quality of the movie this time. Please explain it to the boss of our company when the time comes."
Mr. Qin decisively threw the blame away.
The director was also confused.
It was the other party who said before that there was nothing wrong with the movie, and although he was the director of this movie, his status in the crew was not as good as the two leading actors.
In fact, I thought before that the movie might have a reputation problem.
But what I didn't expect is that the box office seems to be not doing well now.
The key is that Mr. Qin was the one who celebrated in advance, but now there is a problem with the movie, and he needs to explain the result.
The road show that was originally planned turned out not to be ideal because the other party and I were drunk the day before.
The effect that the advance screening should have has not been achieved.
He felt that he could not stay in this company for another day.
...
For the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", because it was New Year's Day, Xu Ji gave the entire crew a few days off.
But it was also because Sha Yetong also came to the set at this time.
Last year, because Sha Yetong participated in the performance, the two were not able to celebrate the New Year together, but this time they have the opportunity.
"Do you still remember our old Shen and Xiao Wang?"
"It's just the couple we were in the same class in high school."
Sha Yetong suddenly spoke up.
Xu Ji was stunned.
"They are getting married next week and sent me an invitation."
"Let us both go together."
Sha Yetong then said casually:
"Indeed, it is indeed time to get married at this age."
"By the way, will you go then?"
Xu Ji nodded.
"Of course."
He pretended not to hear the other meaning in Sha Yetong's words.
