Chapter 503

One week later, Kung Fu Panda premiered.

In the cinema.

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

The premiere of Kung Fu Panda only had less than half the people sitting in it.

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

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

"I can hear Mo Mo's voice again!"

"I absolutely support Mo Mo!"

"It's too deserted; I'll buy another ticket in a while."

"This is Mo Mo's first voice-acting work."

"It would be better if Mo Mo acted in it in person."

Most of the people who came to the cinema to watch the film 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 film.

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

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

But very quickly, everyone's expressions changed.

The audience members who were originally looking down at their phones started watching the big screen with rapt attention, occasionally letting out laughter following the plot.

This film 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 film!

The audience changed from supporting Chen Mo to being attracted by this film.

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

After the premiere ended, most people felt it was still unfinished.

If one said that previous domestic animated films were hard to describe, then Kung Fu Panda undoubtedly represented the new hope for domestic animation.

So it turns out China's animated films could also rival animations produced in Europe and America!

Very quickly, the film reviews from the premiere audience spread to the internet, among which there was no lack of some film critics who went to watch a joke.

The results were all unexpectedly good reviews.

"If you like China, you must not miss this film; this film satisfies all fantasies about pandas and kung fu, and 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 at all that this was Chen Mo's voice acting; it was he who gave Po vivid vitality."

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

As a result, they didn't get to watch the joke; instead, it was a stream of good reviews.

It completely overturned everyone's previous views.

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

Because of the large number of good reviews at the premiere, the box office of Kung Fu Panda started 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 film was still quite normal, but it was at the very end of the film that one could see it was a shoddily produced ending.

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

The audience's anger wouldn't be this great.

But this was Pixar, one of the world's largest animation film companies.

A film of this quality could be called defrauding consumers.

The film continued to receive bad reviews.

On the day of the premiere, the box office of Kung Fu Panda was around 3 million US dollars, and the box office of Ratatouille was around 10 million US dollars.

By the second day, there were some changes in the box office; the box office of Kung Fu Panda was around 7 million, and the box office of Ratatouille was around 10.1 million.

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

Every day after that, the box office of Kung Fu Panda was increasing, while conversely, the box office of Ratatouille was getting less and less.

In one week, the box office of Kung Fu Panda reached 270 million US dollars.

The final total box office was 790 million US dollars.

And the total box office of Ratatouille was 110 million US dollars, completely different from the box office estimated by the public.

"Kung Fu Panda, sweeping Europe and America!"

"The most anticipated Chinese animated film this year!"

"Mo Mo Company's box office far exceeds Pixar's!"

"Mo Mo Company will become the strongest dark horse among animation film companies!"

The news was exposed very quickly.

The stance of the international media also changed rapidly.

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

"Mo Mo, this time our Kung Fu Panda has established the Mo Mo Company's brand in one fell swoop; now the outside world says that the Mo Mo Company has no shortcomings."

Wang Jinghua reported to Chen Mo excitedly.

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

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

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

There were absolutely no shortcomings.

The Mo Mo Company's ranking among international entertainment companies 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 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 LoL competition."

Chen Mo said to Wang Jinghua.

Chen Mo roughly explained the competition to Wang Jinghua.

This competition was open globally; teams from all over the world could participate, and all players could freely form teams.

The participating teams only had one requirement: they must have a personal LoL account and could not lend it to others.

As long as the team that won this competition could win a reward of 1 million US dollars.

Wang Jinghua didn't understand gaming matters, but after listening to Chen Mo's instructions, she took the words to Brother Ma.

Brother Ma was just worrying about how to expand the LoL user base.

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

Brother Ma immediately started working on the relevant matters for the competition impatiently.
