To be honest, Wan Xiaohu couldn't believe that "Frozen" could have such a powerful box office effect in Japan.

In recent years, especially in the 1910s, the xenophobic nature of the Japanese film market can be clearly felt. Movies that conquered the world in Hollywood are difficult to break through Japan. For example, many superhero movies produced by Marvel Comics, a subsidiary of Sasha Entertainment, and Marvel Cinema Universe, have swept the world. When we arrive in Japan, we will encounter the cold and the frustration of the cold.

As all media had expected, Wan Xiaohu just believed that Frozen could get a box office of up to 100 million US dollars in Japan.

As a result, in twelve weeks, the box office soared to 21.23 billion yen, equivalent to a height of 200 million US dollars.

And this is not the limit of Frozen.

Just after Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya's second child, named Wan Pingping's little princess, was born. On August 31, 2014, "Frozen" was finally officially released in Japan, with a total box office of 26.429.761167 yen, which was converted into USD 249 million.

It surpassed the 26 billion yen of "Titanic", second only to the 30.4 billion yen of "Spirited Away".

At the same time, it also won 16 consecutive championships in Japan in a terrifying way. This is the first time that a movie has won 16 consecutive championships in Japan in the past decade!

After the final ticket store in Japan, the global total box office of "Frozen" was frozen at US$1.437 billion. The authoritative box office website Mojo and China's authoritative Mtime Time Network summarized the box office journey of "Frozen" at the same time, as well as the subsequent sales of DVDs and soundtracks.

Among them, the box office of North America was US$410 million, ranking 19th in the North American film history list. The fourth in the North American animation film history. The sales of movie discs in Blu-ray, DVD, BD and other formats also successfully ranked as the champion of animation discs. It included the original soundtrack of "Let-it-go", and twice ranked as the champion of the US Billboard Best-selling Week.

At the same time, the song was translated into 42 languages ​​and became popular all over the world.

The box office of Japan was 26.43 billion yen, equivalent to 249 million US dollars, second in the Japanese film history list and second in the Japanese animation film history history. The Blu-ray disc "Frozen-Movie-NEX" that is being released had 661,000 data on the first day of the release, breaking the first day, first week, and cumulative sales records of Japan's Blu-ray disc.

China's box office was 1123.5 million yuan, equivalent to 183 million US dollars, ranking fifth in the Chinese film history list, and the champion of Chinese animation film history.

South Korea has a box office of 10.26 million, equivalent to US$76.7 million, ranking 12th in the Korean film history list, and the champion of Korean animation film history.

The UK is $65.72 million. Germany is $48.27 million, France is $46.94 million, Russia is $33.44 million, Australia is $31.06 million, Italy is $26.42 million, Mexico is $25.73 million. Brazil is $21.73 million, Spain is $21.67 million, Venezuela is $12.515 million, Argentina is $11.555 million, and Netherlands is $10.51 million.

There are more than one million US dollars in ticket warehouses. There are 43 in total.

It has broken the various records maintained by most cartoons around the world. Because of its popularity, the stage play has begun to be adapted and will soon be on the Broadway stage. At the same time, Abao Animation and Sasha Entertainment also announced that the sequel will be in the works after the box office exceeded one billion.

First, a short film "Frozen-Fever" will be released in the spring of 2015 to maintain its popularity.

At the same time, Jiahe Entertainment and Sasha Entertainment jointly created 30 newly built theme parks around the world, and it has also been confirmed that "Frozen" will be included in the park.

Then, games of the same name, animation series, souvenirs, dolls, etc. were also fully launched.

According to the calculations of Sasha Entertainment's coordination department, a "Frozen" has leveraged a big cake of about $3 billion. As long as the quality of the sequel remains, the cake will become bigger and bigger and become a brand that will last forever.

...

As time goes by September, Wan Xiaohu finally starts to create his first original movie.

After final drafting by the screenwriter and planning team, it was officially announced to the public.

On September 1, it was drizzling in the world.

In the hall of the Dandelion Building in Beijing, hundreds of media gathered together, whispering from time to time. When the wall clock pointed at 9 a.m., a commotion immediately appeared in the hall. The protagonist of today's media conference, Wan Xiaohu, accompanied by Chen Xiaowei, vice president of Jiahe Group, and others, walked into the hall.

Under the flash, everyone walked to the rostrum and sat down, and Chen Xiaowei started the show: "Welcome to the press and friends. Today is the external press conference of Director Wan's new film. We will introduce it in 30 minutes. In the end, 30 points will be left for you to ask questions."

Chen Xiaowei, who is from the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, is a strong business woman. She has been working in Jiahe Group for six years and was recently promoted to the vice president of the group, responsible for the development of the Chinese market. Now Su Ya is still in confinement at home, and Chen Xiaowei is responsible for the company's specific affairs.

The elegant Chen Xiaowei should be equally important to wisdom and beauty: "For Wandao's new film, please look at the big screen beside me. This is the first concept poster. The name of the new film is on the poster, "Huangdi".

Following Chen Xiaowei's fingers, everyone looked at the screen next to her, which was a huge poster.

The two words "Huangdi" in the poster are like silver hooks and iron paintings. Below the font, a majestic back holding a sword, standing in the center of the huge altar, looking up at the sky. The entire poster is pale and yellow in color and simple in composition. When you look at it, you will immediately feel the vicissitudes of history.

"The Yellow Emperor is a reconstruction of the Chinese ancestor Huangdi in historical legends. Director Wan personally led the screenwriter team to organize ancient myths and legends about Huangdi, trying to reproduce the ancient myths in China. Under the auspices of Director Wan, Jiahe Entertainment has begun to create a new film plan!"

"This plan is named - the myth system of ancient legend movies. It plans to use many mythological movies to interpret the legendary stories that we were familiar with when we were young. It removes the drought and preserves the essence, and summarizes those broken and sporadic myths into a complete system."

"The first episode of the system has only been drafted for the time being. It is planned to invest 1 billion yuan to invite an all-star lineup to create the most heavyweight domestic epic blockbuster! Please invite Director Wan to give us a more detailed interpretation of the movie."

The reporters gave some applause very strongly.

Wan Xiaohu reached out and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet: "The ancient legendary movie myth system, my team and I started preparing for it very early. Everyone knows that I have produced most of the movies in the Marvel Cinema Universe project, and superhero movies are very successful. Compared with fictional comics, I think the mythological stories left to us by our ancestors are the real treasures."

"I said a long time ago that we want to explore our own wealth, classics, legends, myths, and history. They are all wealth that we Chinese are proud of. Someone in the team previously proposed adapting classics, filming Sun Wukong and filming Nezha. In the end, I denied these proposals. I think many Chinese directors and producers have begun to realize that our national treasures. Although they have not done satisfactorily, they have indeed seen such progress, which is a good thing. I don't need to interfere."

"So the direction we determined is to focus on myths, Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky, Fuxi created the Bagua, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, Nine Heavens Xuannv, Jingwei filled the sea, etc. This is a combination full of imagination. In the past, we said that CG special effects could not be achieved. They could not express the color of myths. Now that technology is developed, you can make the effects you want. This is also the reason why the magical movies are more popular in recent years."

"The Yellow Emperor is an experimental movie of the mythology system of ancient legendary films. In my imagination, Huangdi's life will be displayed through the form of a trilogy. His war with Yan Emperor and Chiyou's war, and he eventually practiced to become an immortal and ascend to the sun. Of course, it is also a commercial movie itself, and the entire subsequent plan needs to be tested by the market."

After introducing "Huangdi", half an hour passed, and it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.

"Director Wan, you used to have one movie not yet released, and another movie had already started filming, but this time it was only half a year after the release of "Frozen" that the new movie was announced. Is there any reason?"

Wan Xiaohu couldn't tell others that from now on, he would start to create originality, and his speed would naturally slow down. He could only use other reasons to make excuses: "Well, I used my most beautiful decade of youth to keep making movies. To be honest, I have ignored too much from my family. I am 34 years old this year, and I don't want to wait until I get old and regret it. It turns out that the joy of family that I should have enjoyed has not been enjoyed. I hope that movies will become an amateur part of life and family will become the main part of life."

"Have you chosen the cast of the movie "Yellow Emperor"?"

"Not yet. Although the script of "Yellow Emperor" has been completed, we need to carefully consider the actors and cooperate with the entire ancient legendary film myth system. At present, the production team and director team are screening out the rough types of actors who match the image, and casting will start after a while."

"When will the Huangdi be released?"

"If everything goes well, it will be released in June 2016."

"Director Wan, "Transformers 4" has now won nearly 2 billion box office, becoming the best-performing movie in China. Will "Huangdi" hit the record of "Transformers 4"?"

"Haha, you asked this question. I haven't even started filming the movie yet. Where would I think about what to break the record in two years?"

"Director Wan, you said before that you will shoot commercial movies to the extreme and then shoot art films. Now you are one of the greatest directors in the world, Oscar best director, science fiction master, and famous commercial director. The total box office of the fifteen movies shot has accumulated 6.555 billion US dollars, ranking second in the world. Don't you think you have already made business to the extreme?"

Wan Xiaohu was surprised: "It turns out that I was so cool before I knew it, haha. I think, no matter what kind of movie you are shooting, it is ultimately a movie you like. I want to tell a story, so using commercial or artistic techniques is just a process, and the result is that I have finished the story I want to tell."

After a pause, Wan Xiaohu continued: "I want to sort out the ancient Chinese legends now, so I have an ancient legend movie myth system. When I am old and want to look back on the past, I may be able to make another movie "My Childhood", "My University", or "In the World".

"Fate itself is an unknown journey. It is difficult for you to execute it meticulously according to the set script. So in this process, how to achieve the best result you think is your goal. I think I have made the best choice in the first fourteen years. Although I have some regrets, I don't want to do it again."

"I have a new experience now. I have been shooting movies in Hollywood in recent years. In fact, I prefer to shoot Chinese films. Chinese films can include my growth past, little by little, childhood fantasy and youth aspirations. It is like going around a circle. I have been waiting for many years since filming "Waiting Alone". I have been experiencing the complete world, returning to the original place, and starting a new journey, not a physical journey, but a spiritual journey."

"There are many possibilities in the future that I can't see clearly or touch, but I'm looking forward to it."

"I think the movie "Yellow Emperor" will be a brand new beginning for me!"

Wan Xiaohu was talking and laughing brightly.

His life story began to turn around in 2014, and now he continues to move forward straight forward. He was a loser who was down, difficult, unconfident, and completely lost. This is a rich, calm, confident, and successful person at the idol level.
Chapter completed!
