Kung Fu Panda, these four words became popular in China. The trailer of Kung Fu Panda started to spread like a virus.
At this time, Zhang Fan's influence became apparent, and stars from all walks of life in China retweeted it to celebrate. When Wolf Warrior was released, it was in two different states.
Kung Fu Panda came out of the blue. This sudden arrival was unexpected by many people, let alone a movie released in July.
"Let me go, you guys moved too fast. You actually ran out of tickets..."
"Hahahaha, I have already grabbed the tickets..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu is a step too slow..."
"I'm going. I have no tickets. Is it that exaggerated..."
"Damn, you guys are watching this early in the morning, you don't even sleep..."
Netizens were discussing it and went to book tickets. But when they went to book tickets, they found that there were no tickets at many points in time.
Zhang Fan's terrifying influence was on display. Kung Fu Panda No. 1 started showing at 8 a.m., but many netizens went to book tickets after knowing the news, and found that the tickets for No. 1 were basically sold out.
Not to mention the first day, even the tickets for the second day were sold out. Even the tickets for the early morning of the second day were all snatched up by everyone. This enthusiasm for grabbing tickets made many well-known directors dumbfounded.
They have seen such a battle before. When they make a movie, they promote and shout like crazy, but in the end the audience may not support it. Now Zhang Fan has announced it on the official account and Weibo, and they have achieved such results. This is too counter-intuitive.
Oh my god.
This is the reputation that Zhang Fan has accumulated over the past few years. Zhang Fan tells everyone with practical actions that the products produced by Zhang Fan must be high-quality. This is true whether it is songs, TV series, comics, or movies.
That's why fans are so supportive now. Although they haven't watched the movie yet, they believe that the movie directed by Zhang Fan will definitely be good, even if it is an animated movie.
Kung Fu Panda is so popular that it didn’t even have a premiere. Let alone invite film critics, it just went straight to theaters without anything.
The screening rate of this film is also very high. On July 1st, it actually achieved a 52% screening rate. The screening rate is high, and the attendance rate is also very high.
The tickets for No. 1 are now sold out, which means the attendance rate is 100%.
Early on the morning of the 2nd, there were many people waiting in front of major movie theaters across the country.
"Hello, can I interview you? Which movie are you watching now?"
The next morning, many media sent reporters to investigate across the country. Some anchors of Longteng Live also went to various places to conduct live broadcasts.
"Kung Fu Panda. I'm the first one, it starts at 8:10..."
a woman said with a smile.
"Is it yourself?"
"No, I came here with my husband and my daughter. My daughter is on summer vacation, and she also likes pandas. There happened to be a movie like this, so I brought her over to watch it together..."
The woman's words made the anchor couldn't help laughing.
"I came here with my girlfriend..."
"We are here to support Brother Fan..."
"We are anime fans, come to support Brother Fan..."
"I came here with my dad..."
"I came with my children..."
Men, women, the elderly, children, through interviews, everyone found that Kung Fu Panda’s audience is simply terrifying. It covers all ages.
There are many people who go out with their families. Now the children are on summer vacation. Many people come to watch with their children. Some older grandparents, who usually don’t watch movies, also came to watch this time for the first time.
Movie.
Kung Fu, pandas, summer vacation, animation, Zhang Fan. These few elements combined together created this sensation.
At 8:10, many people entered the theater and the movie started to play.
"Mom, Abao is so stupid..."
"Grandma, why is the panda's father a duck..."
"Dad, this mouse is so powerful..."
"These animals are so cute..."
"This big turtle is so cute..."
After the movie started, the children kept asking questions. The naive Ah Bao and other cute animals made them very happy to watch.
The children were happy, and so were the adults. Especially some young people, they were shocked by the quality of the animation.
When did China become able to produce such excellent animated films? This animation is definitely at the Hollywood level, no worse than those Hollywood animated films.
"This anime is awesome..."
"No worse than Hollywood blockbusters..."
"Yes, it looks very enjoyable..."
"It's also fun..."
"As expected, Brother Fan did not disappoint us..."
"This movie is definitely going to be a hit..."
"Children also like it very much..."
Many people were watching and chatting in the QQ group on their mobile phones. In the group, some netizens who had not bought tickets were greedy when they saw these messages, and then they had no choice but to grab the next ticket.
Everyone became more and more fascinated as they watched, especially at the end, where the essence of kung fu was fully displayed through animation. Although it was an animation, it still looked very enjoyable.
After a movie ends, many people are still unsatisfied. It is a masterpiece. This movie is definitely a masterpiece. The quality is no worse than Hollywood blockbusters.

"I can guarantee that the overseas box office of this film will not be bad..."
"It's so shocking. I didn't expect to see such Chinese cartoons in my lifetime..."
After it came out, many people couldn't help but discuss it. Some people also rated the film on professional rating websites. Although the plot is not too good, the plot is not too bad either.
Putting aside the plot, other aspects are excellent. High quality, this is definitely a super high-quality animated movie. The special effects, soundtrack, action design, etc. are all top-notch.
Even if we compare it with those classic Hollywood animated movies, it is not weaker at all, or even stronger.
Word of mouth exploded, and Kung Fu Panda's fame began to skyrocket. Not to mention the children, many children shouted that I was the Dragon Warrior after coming out.
"I watched Kung Fu Panda today. I have never been into cartoons before. I went to see it today at the expense of my son. My son really liked it, and I also liked it very much. I didn't expect that domestic cartoons could be so good. It's a great film..."
"Where can I buy A Bao toys? My daughter is crying and wants to have A Bao. She is so worried..."
"Hahaha, my son is the same. He has traveled to many places but there are no panda toys."
"My son prefers Hu Niu..."
"The pandas are so cute. After watching the movie today, I went to the zoo again. After seeing the pandas, my son yelled "Abao, Abao, haha, it made me laugh to death..."
Many people left messages online, and the popularity suddenly made Kung Fu Panda a topic of discussion among the people.
