Chapter 537 Don't save them, all are out (asking for monthly tickets)
On January 25, Saturday, "Cat's Fantasy of Traveling Through Time" and "Big Tiger's Life with Snakes" were officially screened.
At this time, "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" has been released for three days. It started on Wednesday, January 22, the Little New Year, and it has only been three days. However, apart from the 6 million box office on the first day, the second and third days combined only earned 3 million.
In three days, the total box office of "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" has not exceeded 10 million.
But this is a weekday after all, so although the box office is a bit bleak, it is not enough to make people despair.
But people in the industry are already in despair.
Especially on Douhu, everyone thinks that Chinese animation may really be beyond salvation.
After all, such a highly anticipated animated film as "Old Li's New Year" only received such a box office in three days. How can we talk about the revival of Chinese animation???
What to reply?
It's difficult to get on the pit.
Some people may still have expectations for the weekend, but more people have no expectations for "Old Li Celebrates the New Year". After all, it's the weekend, and "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" is not suitable for children to watch.
As a result, it is almost wishful thinking for "Old Li's New Year" to compete with the other two animated films for the market on the weekend.
After all, although the two movies "Cat's Great Fantasy of Traveling Through Time" and "Big Tiger's Friends with Snakes" are said to be previews, they are actually almost the same as wide-ranging releases.
"The Tiger and the Snake" is the first time, but "The Cat and the Fantasy of Time Travel" is the same every year, with advance screenings, but the advance screenings are followed by large-scale releases.
For this reason, the first wave of box office revenue is often driven by "Cat Time Travel Fantasy". We have said before that if it were based on previous years, "Cat Time Travel Fantasy" should have been previewed long ago, and it should even be the time when "The Wandering Earth" was previewed.
But not this year.
This year, "Cat's Great Time Travel Fantasy" was basically a step late in terms of promotion and preview.
But it doesn't matter.
After all, "Cat's Great Fantasy of Traveling Through Time" is qualified.
Because its reputation is extremely high.
Just like for Lin Ping's family, they must watch "Cat Time Travel Fantasy" every year. His daughter is already 8 years old, and almost since she was 3 years old, every "Cat Without Hair" movie is a must-watch for them.
Not only that, there are so many furry models in Lin Ping’s house that they almost fill up the house.
Lin Ping's daughter is named Lin Xia, and her nickname is Maomao.
What a coincidence, isn’t it?
Lin Ping also has a cat named Doudou, because in the movie "Cat Without Hair", Doudou is Maomao's best friend.
For this reason, Lin Ping's daughter Lin Xia's nickname is Maomao. Then, Lin Xia has a friend, a cat named Doudou.
Take a look at this.
If we talk about the degree of star chasing, this is a hardcore fan.
Today, the release time of "Cat's Great Time Travel Fantasy" is 11:00 am. After all, most children like to sleep in on weekends, and it is basically not suitable for family movies to be released in the early morning.
Lin Ping's family bought three tickets.
This cinema requires that children taller than 1.2 meters also need to buy tickets, but Lin Xia is already 1.3 meters tall.
So, I could only buy an adult ticket for my daughter as well.
When the family of three arrived at the cinema, they found that it was already very crowded.
"I want to see Maomao, Maomao."
"Finally I can see Maomao again."
"I like Maomao, but I also like Doudou, Youyou, and Chouchou..."
…
Many children, like Lin Xia, are around 8 years old and can speak logically, but some speak in a baby voice, and some even speak unclearly, saying “Dad…ba, Mao…Mao…”
Some are still holding.
If you come here as an adult, and you are single or even childless, your brain will probably explode.
After all, children are not usually noisy.
Some were running around, some were yelling, some were crying, and some were laughing.
It’s even more lively than the animal park.
There is no way.
After all, these are children. Sometimes animals can understand human language and know how to cooperate, but children often cannot understand human language at all when they really start to make a fuss.
Anyone who has children knows.
In comparison, Lin Xia was relatively sensible and obedient. Lin Ping bought his daughter a bucket of popcorn and a cup of hot drink. Lin Xia then quietly waited for the movie to start while eating popcorn.
Lin Ping had watched the previous publicity for the movie "Cat's Time Travel Fantasy". His wife was worried whether it was not suitable for children, after all, there was a cruel war. However, Lin Ping was not worried about this.
How to say it?
This IP is an adult IP, how is it possible to have bloody scenes at this time???
They are not fools.
A family movie is naturally suitable for all ages.
What's more, the movie "Cat Time Travel Fantasy" has always been focusing on low-age and young ages. In fact, many people have said that "Flying Cat Animation Co., Ltd." is really amazing.
Sometimes, who makes the most money?
Of course, children’s money is the easiest to make.
Many people are thinking about how to make money from their children, and when it comes to movies, if a child watches a movie, then one ticket is considered two tickets, or even three or four.
Especially those that focus on family fun.
Under such circumstances, how could the annual "Cat Without Hair" movie possibly fail at the box office? ? ?
Does not exist.
Although Lin Ping didn't understand movies, he knew that Flying Cat Animation Co., Ltd. was not stupid. As long as they held on to such a golden chicken, how could they destroy it? ?
In fact, Lin Ping never likes to watch this kind of movies, but who makes his daughter like to watch them? ?
I usually don't have time to spend with my daughter, and the only time I can spend time with her is when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Since my daughter likes to watch this kind of movies, then I'll just watch it.
At 11 o'clock, the movie officially started.
The nearly 10-minute plot basically lacks the previous warmth, or the style of previous big movies, that is, it is not humorous or witty, but on the contrary a little bit cruel.
It's not bloody at all.
Just like what Lin Ping said, this "Feimao Animation" is not stupid, they would not do some scenes like shooting or even rape.
But even so, this kind of adult movie is actually not suitable for children.
Look, many children watched this movie, some were stunned, while others were scared and cried.
After about 30 minutes, some children had already left.
Because I can't sit still anymore.
Previously, many 3D effects included fountains, rain, or even the feeling of being in an underwater world, space walking, or a roller coaster.
These are what children like to watch.
But this time it's different.
This time, some of them were shot.
There were also some who were beaten up and kicked away during street protests against Japanese goods.
Or something even more cruel.
What is the only 3D effect?
It's snowing.
There is an old saying that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but in that era, snow often meant death.
People are hungry, and they don't have enough clothes on, so how can they not starve to death? ?
…
It was almost an hour already. Some people in the theater had left, while some children didn't feel anything and continued watching, but they were not in the mood.
At the same time, Lin Ping glanced at his daughter.
kindness.
My daughter didn't look very excited either.
At 12:45, the movie officially ended.
If it were the same as in the past, when the movie ended, my daughter would be reluctant to leave, and might even want to wait a little longer to see some Easter eggs or something.
But this time, Lin Xia suddenly jumped up: "Dad, let's go and watch the next show."
Obviously, for children, watching movies is often just for fun, humor and warmth.
To put it bluntly, even if you make a movie called Cats or even a cat sports meeting, it would be better than this.
Lin Ping's wife also had a headache: "What did I say? This trailer doesn't look suitable for children."
"well enough."
Lin Ping smiled and said, "Actually, there wasn't anything cruel or bloody about it, and didn't you see that our daughter was still laughing?"
"Is that a smile? That's the girl's scream of fear. Okay, that's enough, let's go to the theater quickly. This movie is definitely not good. I hope the next movie won't disappoint us."
Lin Ping's wife said unhappily.
At 13 o'clock, "The Big Tiger and the Snake" officially began.
That's right.
Lin Ping and his family of three are planning to play two games in a row.
One of them, of course, is to watch "Cat's Great Fantasy of Traveling Through Time", because this animated film is very much loved by Lin Ping's daughter Lin Xia.
One of the scenes is "The Big Tiger and the Snake".
"Old Li Celebrates the New Year" was directly ruled out. Not to mention that its reputation has collapsed now, even if its reputation had not collapsed, Lin Ping felt that it was not suitable for children to watch, because it was not suitable for children in the first place.
As for the animated film "Big Tiger and Snake", Lin Ping actually didn't have much to look forward to. He had seen the trailer before, which was what we just talked about, the story of a tiger and a snake playing basketball together.
Because I had no expectations, but after watching it I thought it was okay.
kindness.
This animated film is a regular 2D version, and it’s basically a lively story about the Snake team winning the basketball championship in the end.
Honestly, I didn't have any expectations so I thought it was okay.
Now, the two movies, "Cat's Fantasy of Traveling Through Time" and "Big Tiger's Friends with Snakes", have already had two screenings, so their reputations have basically come out.
"I don't know how to evaluate the movie "Cat Traveling Through the Fantasy"? Do you say it is a bad movie? It doesn't seem right, but you say it is an excellent movie, it doesn't seem right either. In short, adults can go and watch it, but don't bring children."
"It's over. As the ninth film of Flying Cat Animation, "Cat Travel Fantasy" is a successful failure. I don't think the box office of this film will be too high. I admire their innovation and pursuit, but they messed up."
"Yes, I thought so too. This time, 'Flying Cat Animation' really messed up. This 'Cat Travel Fantasy' is not suitable for children to watch. At least the children in my hall don't like it very much. As for adults, they may like it a little, but it's completely different."
"Indeed, they are going in the opposite direction. I can understand that Flying Cat Animation wants to take over the adult market, but it has neglected the children's market. This is a case of destroying one's own strength."
…
"If you want to watch "The Tiger and the Snake", go and watch it. Don't get your hopes up, just have fun."
"The animated film Tiger and the Snake is suitable for children, but that's about it."
"I'm feeling really complicated right now. I'm afraid all three animated films scheduled for the Lunar New Year this year will be eliminated."
"Don't save Guoman anymore, really. From the looks of the situation, it's good to die."
…
After the first wave of feedback came out, many people in the industry were a little surprised.
Because no one had high expectations for "Big Tiger and Snakes", they didn't think much of it, and the production cost of this animated film was not enough in the first place, so if it could make tens of millions during the Lunar New Year holiday, they would basically be satisfied.
But this is not the case with "Cat's Great Fantasy of Traveling Through Time".
This animated film is the ninth feature film of "Flying Cat Animation". For them, the box office of their previous eight films have been increasing one after another. Many people even think that based on the previous reputation, this film may even break 1.5 billion.
You have to know that since the fourth movie "Cats Without Hair", there is almost no need for any publicity. Their reputation has already been spread, and at the same time, the audience has almost formed a habit of it.
It is not easy to get the audience to develop a habit.
Even though the number of moviegoers during the Lunar New Year holiday has been declining sharply in the past three years, and the total box office of the Lunar New Year holiday has been decreasing, it has had no impact on the movie "Cat Cat Has No Hair", and the box office of each of its movies has continued to increase steadily.
Good job.
Eight years.
Even the seven-year itch is over.
And now it’s the ninth year, and everyone feels that another record is about to be set.
As a result, the car overturned.
Many people think that this kind of rollover is not sudden, but inevitable.
Because when you are already successful, you will definitely want to be more successful, just like many people who earn one or two thousand yuan a month always fantasize about when they can earn ten or twenty thousand yuan a month. But when they earn ten or twenty thousand yuan a month, they start to wonder when they can earn fifty or sixty thousand yuan a month.
Some even dream of earning a million a year.
But when I really reached an annual salary of one million, I was thinking about when I could reach an annual salary of ten million.
This is the case with 'Flying Cat Animation', they feel that the previous 8 animated films can guarantee a basic box office base, but they are not satisfied, they are thinking about how to increase the box office further?
The basic base of children is so small, so we can make the movie more adult to attract those who like the second dimension and anime.
The idea is right, but how to say it?
It was a complete mess.
Just like that, there are still three days left before the Spring Festival, and it is almost certain that all three animated films will be out.
This is bad news for the creators of the three animated films, but it is great news for other films.
This proves that they can increase their screening schedule.
…
…
PS: Speaking of which, this year's Lunar New Year movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Basket Out of the Future" is about playing basketball, and I think this animated film is seriously underestimated.
