Chapter 307

~7 min read 1,336 words

The teenager wearing glasses looked at the announcement, a raging fire igniting in his eyes.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"As long as it lets me play games legitimately, that's all that matters."

A slightly chubby teenager grabbed a handful of potato chips, his operations on the keyboard flowing like water.

He silently wrote down the registration phone number for the Mo Team.

……

On the other side, *Kung Fu Panda* had already confirmed its release date.

And it was only at this time that the Mo Company first promoted to the public that the voice of the animated protagonist was Chen Mo.

The popularity of *Kung Fu Panda* suddenly became much higher!

Chen Mo's fans all expressed that they would support Chen Mo's movie, even if Chen Mo was only a voice actor.

However, even so, the vast majority of people on the market still supported *Ratatouille* more.

Pixar was the enterprise that professionally did the animation industry.

A week later, *Kung Fu Panda* premiered.

In the movie theater.

In the past, the premiere occupancy rate for movies produced by the Mo Company was over 70%.

The premiere of *Kung Fu Panda* was less than half full.

Also released at the same time as *Kung Fu Panda* was *Toy Story*, which had a premiere occupancy rate of around 58%.

Although not as high as the occupancy rate of other Mo Company movies, it was already far higher than the occupancy rate of *Kung Fu Panda*.

"I can hear Mo's voice again!"

"I absolutely support Mo!"

"It's too deserted, I'll buy another ticket in a bit."

"This is Mo's first voice acting work, after all."

"It would be better if Mo starred in it himself."

Most of the people who came to the movie theater were Chen Mo's fans.

They came to watch *Kung Fu Panda* to support Chen Mo; they didn't care about the content of the movie.

The movie started playing, and most people were looking down at their phones.

If it weren't to support Chen Mo, they also thought the production of *Kung Fu Panda* wouldn't be good.

But very soon, everyone's expressions changed.

The audience members who were originally looking down at their phones began to watch the big screen intently, occasionally laughing along with the plot.

This movie was much more exciting than they had imagined.

Especially the exquisiteness of the animation's visuals.

They could even see clearly that every single hair on Po was independent, not like before, where the hair in all animated films was stuck together.

*Kung Fu Panda* was actually such a good movie!

The audience went from supporting Chen Mo to being attracted by the movie itself.

The various exquisite martial arts moves in the movie were not inferior to real-life martial arts moves at all.

After the premiere ended, most people felt it was not enough.

If domestic animated films in the past were hard to describe, then *Kung Fu Panda* undoubtedly represented a new hope for domestic animation.

So China's animated films could also rival those produced in Europe and America!

Soon, the reviews from the premiere audience spread to the internet, among which were not a few film critics who had gone to watch a joke.

The result was unexpectedly good reviews.

"If you like China, you absolutely cannot miss this movie. This movie satisfies all fantasies about pandas and kung fu. Chen Mo's voice acting is also stunning; if you didn't look at the voice actor list, you wouldn't be able to tell it was Chen Mo's voice at all. It was he who gave Po vivid vitality."

After the premiere ended, many media outlets were waiting to see the Mo Company's joke.

As a result, they didn't see a joke, but instead, it was a clean sweep of good reviews.

It completely overturned everyone's previous views.

If it weren't for the fact that every media outlet had first-hand review materials, they would have even suspected whether the Mo Company had paid people to praise the movie.

Because of the large number of good reviews from the premiere, the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* began to increase slowly.

And *Ratatouille*, which had been competing with *Kung Fu Panda*, received the exact opposite evaluation.

The audience had originally been looking forward to *Ratatouille*, and even at the beginning, the movie was still quite normal, but it was at the very end of the film that one could see it was a crudely made ending.

If it were an ordinary animation company, this kind of production would be called barely acceptable.

The audience's anger wouldn't have been so great.

But this was Pixar, one of the largest animation companies in the world.

A movie of this quality could be called defrauding consumers.

The movie continued to receive bad reviews.

On the day of the premiere, the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* was around 3 million USD, and the box office for *Ratatouille* was around 10 million USD.

By the second day, there were some changes in the box office; the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* was around 7 million, and the box office for *Ratatouille* was around 10. million.

By the third day, the box office changes were even greater; the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* was around 25 million, and the box office for *Ratatouille* was around 6 million.

Every day after that, the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* increased, while conversely, the box office for *Ratatouille* became less and less.

In one week, the box office for *Kung Fu Panda* reached 270 million USD.

The final total box office was 790 million USD.

And the total box office for *Ratatouille* was 110 million USD, completely different from the box office estimated by the public.

Kung Fu Panda Sweeps Europe and America!

《The Most Anticipated Chinese Animated Film of the Year!

《Mo Company Box Office Far Exceeds Pixar!

《Mo Company Will Become the Strongest Dark Horse Among Animation Companies!

The news was exposed very quickly.

The stance of international media also changed rapidly.

Originally, they had all supported *Ratatouille*, but after *Kung Fu Panda* was highly acclaimed, they immediately turned around and praised *Kung Fu Panda*.

……

"Mo, this time our *Kung Fu Panda* has established the Mo Company's brand in one fell swoop. Now the outside world is saying that the Mo Company has no weaknesses."

Wang Jinghua reported to Chen Mo excitedly.

This time, the significance of *Kung Fu Panda* to China and to the Mo Company was too great.

First of all, this was the first animated film in China to break 100 million in the international market.

Secondly, from now on, the Mo Company had become an entertainment company capable of producing all types of films.

There were absolutely no weaknesses.

The Mo Company's ranking among international entertainment companies had also moved up several spots.

Chen Mo was also quite happy to hear this news.

After chatting with Chen Mo for a few more words about the Mo Company, she started talking about business with Chen Mo again.

"By the way, Sister Wang, help me contact the Communications Company; I plan to invest in the first global 1o1 tournament."

Chen Mo said to Wang Jinghua.

Chen Mo roughly explained the tournament to Wang Jinghua.

This tournament would be open globally; teams from all over the world could participate, and all players could freely form teams.

The only requirement for participating teams was to have a personal 1o1 account, which could not be borrowed.

Any team that won this tournament would win a reward of 1 million USD.

Wang Jinghua didn't understand gaming matters, but after hearing Chen Mo's instructions, she passed the message to Little Ma.

Little Ma was just worrying about how to expand the 1o1 user base.

If Chen Mo held a 1o1 World Championship on a global scale, it would definitely make more players enter the game.

Little Ma immediately started working on the tournament-related matters impatiently.
