"It's in the top 50! My goodness, this animated movie is so unexpected."
At this moment, it seems that netizens all over the world are paying attention to this animated film, watching its ranking gradually rise, and their expressions gradually become blank.
"At this point, the pressure has reached the 49th place, and we don't know if the 49th place can withstand it."
Chinese netizens were overjoyed and immediately began speculating.
"Okay, we couldn't hold on at 49th, then 48th... then 30th, and now the pressure is on 20th. Wow, we've made it into the top ten..."
When the latest rankings were released, the whole world was in an uproar.
They've broken into the top ten.
Even the bottom of the top ten is enough to shock people.
If Japan were to break into the top ten, no one would be surprised; it would be taken for granted.
But this is the Celestial Empire!
When did works from China become qualified to be performed on the top ten stages?
Now, the stark reality is laid bare before netizens around the world, who are astonished to discover that, unknowingly, the quality of animated films from China has reached such a high level.
In the animation group.
The four were overjoyed.
"That's amazing! Dao Zhen is truly amazing!" Xiao Guang exclaimed in admiration.
"Top ten in the world! Although it's only temporary, it's at least a turnaround for us!" Xiaowen was also very happy.
“Ink wash painting… If no one had told me, who would have believed that animation made from ink wash painting could have such power?” Xiaoqing laughed.
"I have no other ideas, as long as I stay in the top ten, that's fine. If all else fails, I just hope I don't fall out of the top twenty," Xiaoli prayed.
Don't be fooled by the fierce competition on the index rankings right now; the real big players haven't made their move yet. The real battleground will begin when they do.
“Yes, it’s hard to imagine that a series of ink paintings could be used to create an animated film and bring such success to China. It just goes to show that China has potential. As long as someone steps up, China’s animation film production level will definitely be among the world’s best,” Xiao Guang said.
"World's top is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly something that ranks among the top in the world." Xiaowen shook his head, disagreeing with Xiaoguang's idea.
“No, Xiao Guang is right, it is indeed world-class. What you don’t know is the value of these ink paintings,” Xiao Qing interjected.
"Value?" Xiaowen and Xiaoli asked in unison.
"Someone has already posted that they are willing to pay a high price of 100,000 yuan to buy Dao's ink paintings. Just think about it, how many ink paintings are there in this animated film? There must be at least thousands, if not tens of thousands. If each one is worth 100,000 yuan, how much money would that be?"
This is terrifying to think about!
Xiaowen and Xiaoli felt a chill run down their spines as they explained. If what Xiaoqing said was true, then the production cost of this animated film was terrifying.
Other animated films, even at their highest production costs, don't exceed one billion. However, this animated film, with just 10,000 copies, would be worth one billion.
Does it have 10,000 copies?
Roughly speaking, it should be there; even if it isn't, it's still tens of millions, which is also a very high level of production.
"Besides, you've overlooked one point: if you put all these paintings together, their value will be immeasurable," Xiao Guang pointed out.
"Amazing!" The two didn't know what to say, so they could only express their thoughts with the simplest and most direct praise they had ever received.
...
Japanese country.
Inside an office.
Everyone was busy.
"Mr. Gong, is your work about to be released?" someone walked up to an old man and asked softly.
After hearing this, Gong looked at the other party with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you would release it at the beginning of next month?"
"It's like this, Mr. Gong. Because some people feel that China is challenging Japan's position, the boss wants you to release your work as soon as possible." The other party was very respectful.
"Challenging Japan's status? The Celestial Empire?" Gong frowned upon hearing this.
Seemingly aware of the reason for Gong's frown, the other party immediately explained, "That's right, there's a recent work from China..."
After hearing the explanation, Gong was very surprised: "A work from China has made it into the top ten? And many people are comparing it with works from Japan, thinking that we are inferior to China?"
"Yes!" He replied calmly, despite feeling the pressure from the palace.
"What a joke!" Gong said, somewhat displeased.
His reason for dissatisfaction was simple.
On the one hand, they felt that the Celestial Empire could not possibly threaten Japan's position, and that the Japanese were making a mountain out of a molehill and worrying unnecessarily.
On the other hand, he felt that asking him to take action now would be an insult to him. He had never regarded the Celestial Empire as an opponent; his opponents were only on the other side of the ocean.
What work?
If it were when he was younger, he would have definitely given the other person a good scolding, but now he is much more mild-mannered, and after venting his anger a little, he doesn't care anymore and asks.
"It's this animated movie." The other person took out a tablet and handed it to Gong to look at.
Gong patiently glanced at it, but when he saw the style of the animated film, his expression froze. He then quickly picked up the tablet, as if he had noticed something strange.
His behavior quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they were all curious as to why Gong had such a solemn expression.
Such an expression is rarely seen on Gong's face. As she gets older, Gong's personality has become more and more casual, so it's no wonder that she has such an expression now, which surprises everyone.
Everyone watched Gong's expression, seemingly casually, as his brows furrowed and his expression became solemn, followed by disbelief, and then astonishment.
