The weekend from June 16 to 18, 2007, was three days, just in time for Father's Day, so "Kung Fu Panda" took advantage of the situation to launch a specially produced short film "Kung Fu Panda: The Noodle Family", which was posted as an easter egg at the end of the main film to attract the audience to watch it again.

In fact, the copywriting of "Kung Fu Panda" is very sufficient. Wan Xiaohu has taken into account the sequel to "Kung Fu Panda" from the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the main film, there are more short films with rich story background. He has even arranged Abao animation and started to make cartoon TV series.

These short films and animated series include 25 minutes of "Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Martial Arts", 23 minutes of "Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Master", 22 minutes of "Kung Fu Panda Thanksgiving Special", 27 episodes of "Kung Fu Panda Legend", and 3 minutes of "Kung Fu Panda: The Noodle Family" of this piece.

In "Kung Fu Panda: The Noodle Family", it mainly tells the story of Mr. Lao Eping taking care of Xiao Abao, how he taught Abao to make noodles, and how Abao was lazy and fantasized about playing with the Five Heroes. In just 3 minutes, the theme of a bowl of noodle soup and a father-son plot is depicted.

Obviously, this short video is very attractive on this Father's Day. The global sweeping of Panda's flash has once again amplified the publicity effect.

Two new movies were released on a large scale in North America this week.

One is the superhero movie "Fantasy Four 2: Silver Shadowman Appears" produced by Twentieth Century Fox, which is a sequel to "Fantasy Four" directed by Tim Story in 2005. That year, the movie achieved a box office of $330 million worldwide, which is quite good.

Compared with the superheroes that have been adapted with no connotation recently, the Fantastic Four focuses on a weird superhero family, Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Girl are a pair. Thunderbolt Fire is the younger brother of Invisible Girl, and the Stone Man is their good friend. Originally, Invisible Girl should have starred by Jessica Alba and became famous because of it.

Wan Xiaohu changed Jessica's fate, made her famous with "Wanted Order", and quickly faded out of the film industry and became a housekeeper for herself.

The "Fantastic Four" series is not a successful superhero movie. The four heroes with a household name are not as good as the "X-Men" series, but they are still in Wan Xiaohu's repurchase plan, but the 20th Century Fox wants to fight for it.

Wan Xiaohu let them go because he knew that 20th Century Fox would regret it soon and did not sell it to Wan Xiaohu as soon as possible.

Another medium-sized movie released this week is "The Girl's Detective" produced by Warner Bros. It is a movie adapted from a best-selling novel. After the success of the "Harry Potter" series, Warner Bros. has already fallen in love with movies adapted from such novels.

The three-day weekend ended and the box office was released.

"The Girls' Detective only received $6.8 million in 2,612 theaters. Obviously, this is not the next Harry Potter that Warner Bros is looking forward to."

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" has a steady downward trend, with $11.05 million this week. "One Night Belly" has dropped 28%, and $13.1 million has brought it to $90 million in 17 days. The box office decline of "Thirteen Arhats" is slightly higher than "The Eleven Arhats" and "The Twelve Arhats", with $18.5 million this week."

"The authoritative release from Touchjo, this week's North American box office champion belongs to "Fantastic Four 2: Silver Shadowman Appears". However, despite receiving $50.6 million, it does not make Twentieth Century Fox happy. Because this is $6 million lower than the first opening, it makes Twentieth Century Fox's ambitions bankrupt."

"And what's most surprising this week is that the box office runner-up "Kung Fu Panda" has a 31.2 million US dollars in three days on weekends, a very low rate of 15% compared to the previous weekend. The total box office accumulated by 17 days was US$193 million, becoming the best movie directed by Wan Xiaohu in North America."

Variety Show magazine made a special comment: "The cultural popularity brought by Kung Fu Panda."

The article stated that with the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda", with the rapid sensation of pandas, China, the largest developing country, gradually burst into an increasingly strong cultural expansion. A group of Chinese directors led by Wan Xiaohu began to frequently show China in the world through movies.

And because of the capital from China, it began to invest heavily in the United States, especially in the real estate industry. The inflow of these capital has also increased the number of Chinese immigrants to the United States, and Americans began to gradually feel the existence of the Chinese.

Whether Americans show good intentions or malicious intentions towards China, there is no denying the fact that they are beginning to desire to understand China.

At this time, "Kung Fu Panda" with the Chinese national treasure giant panda and Chinese national treasure Kung Fu as the packaging is popular and popular, which is not too sudden.

The article also said that China has a civilization of 5,000 years. Once ancient memories wake up, they will inevitably become the largest force in the fight against Hollywood culture. Of course, "Variety Show" is not a supporter of China's threat theory, so the article welcomes China's rise and welcomes Wan Xiaohu, directors representing Chinese culture.

Wan Xiaohu is also a reader of "Variety Show". When he saw this article, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

I can't figure out what kind of director I am.

Many Chinese audiences believe that Wan Xiaohu is a Hollywood-style director and cannot represent Chinese culture. In the United States, they also believe that Wan Xiaohu represents Chinese culture.

After calming down, Wan Xiaohu suddenly understood the feelings of Li An when discussing the directing plan of "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" with Li An, he said that he was a person without roots. In Taiwan, he grew up in a family from other provinces and was regarded as a foreigner by Taiwanese in Zhenggang since childhood. He went to the United States to live and was regarded as a foreigner by blond and blue-eyed foreigners. Even when he returned to his father's hometown in mainland China, he was still regarded as a Taiwanese by locals.

In his words, it is: "I drifted all my life without blood, culture, or regional roots. After drifting for a long time, I hope that my drifting is my vague positioning."

Wan Xiaohu didn't have such an idea. He grew up under the Red Banner. When he was young, he was a full-blooded young man, hating Japan and the United States. However, after the reform and opening up, the country was in a messy environment. In addition, his life was unsatisfactory, he gradually became dissatisfied with the government and accepted some universal values ​​of the United States.

Now that I live again, perhaps the honors of the country and the country are gradually fading, and I am more eager to enjoy it. What kind of life is suitable for enjoyment. I hope to live a life. Whether it is the Chinese system or the American system, it is not the best system. Under this blue sky, I just choose the one that suits me more.

He likes China's culture and civilization, and the brilliance of five thousand years, and how many precious jewelry has been born.

He also likes American personal heroism and fantasizes about saving the world by himself.

He likes freedom of speech in Western countries and can curse the streets without any trouble. He can create as he pleases, but he also hates Western politicians. He acts on TV all day long, wasting his energy on votes, and becomes a lackey of capital by any means for votes.

He likes China's implicitness and reserve, and likes this atheistic country. He doesn't need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending religious people. But he also hates China's harmony. All gods and horses must be harmonious, and harmony will make you paralyzed!

This is a blue world.

Wan Xiaohu didn't know what to do. He could only put down the "Variety Show" magazine and looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and he immediately threw these thoughts behind him.

"Forget it, I am me, a firework of different colors! Make my movies. Live the life I want, promote Chinese culture by the way, contribute a little to China's rise, and be worthy of my ancestors."

After shaking her collar, Wan Xiaohu shouted to her assistant: "Go to notify the producer and director team. Go to the performing arts hall and start today's heroine audition. By the way, let's see if the actresses who auditioned, Scarlett Johnson, Natalie Portman and others have arrived. Those who didn't arrive will be disqualified. I don't like late people."

...

"Mtime Time Network's weekly box office album: From the 12th to the 18th, "Kung Fu Panda" once again exceeded 100 million yuan in a single week, and laughed at the June shadow market with RMB 102.4 million. This week, the screening volume of "Kung Fu Panda" has increased to 65%, and the attendance rate remains unabated."

"The total box office in 17 days is 287.4 million yuan. Can "Kung Fu Panda" break the record of "Never End" of 367 million yuan?"

"This week, "Kung Fu Panda" has a total global box office of US$175 million, achieving two consecutive championships. As of the 19th, it has accumulated a global box office of US$491 million. It will soon exceed US$452 million of "Wanted Warrant" and become the most popular movie directed by Wan Xiaohu."

"How far will "Kung Fu Panda" finally come? mtime Time Network is looking forward to it together!"

"I think it can reach 800 million!" said a netizen [Iron Man].

"China can reach at least 400 million, and break the record again. If it is global, it will be between 7800 million US dollars." [Faway Maple] speculated.

"No matter how many billions, the boss is going to make a fortune again with "Kung Fu Panda". " [Blooming in Dreams] exclaimed.

"It's been over 100 million in two weeks, the boss is the most amazing!"

"Haha, no matter how much, it's a foregone conclusion that more than Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2" is worth $540 million. Old Wu can never brag about it again. The director with the highest single-film box office in Chinese directors is also the same era as the boss. It's rather miserable. The boss has refreshed all the box offices that can be refreshed, and the next movie is to capture the database of various small ticket warehouses."

In order not to live up to everyone's expectations, "Kung Fu Panda" has made great efforts to win the box office, and Jiahe Entertainment and Sasha Entertainment have also continued to expand the scale of Panda's flash, and have to squeeze out every drop of potential.

Under such a fierce momentum.

The box office news spread frequently.

North America's fourth weekend was US$18.5 million, ranking third. The fifth weekend was US$11.6 million, followed by 7.32 million, 4.41 million... Because of its excellent reputation, it was released for four months, and finally ended with a perfect result of US$291 million in North America.

The mainland was also coquettish for two months, with a total box office of 41 million yuan, a fifth week of 33 million yuan, a sixth week of 10.5 million yuan, a seventh week of 5.8 million yuan, a eighth week of 3.2 million yuan, and a ninth week of 1 million yuan, ending the record of "Never End" with a total box office of 421.9 million yuan, and winning the box office championship in mainland film history as an animated film.

Of course, this time it broke its own record and was launched by Hollywood. Therefore, although it was the first movie that exceeded 400 million, "Kung Fu Panda" did not celebrate its achievements any more.

The long road to global release was also at the end of December. After the last box office was released in Japan, it handed over the global box office answer... (To be continued...)
