    The three-day weekend from June 16th to 18th, 2007 happened to coincide with Father's Day on the 18th, so "Kung Fu Panda" took advantage of the situation and launched a specially produced short film "Kung Fu Panda: A Family of Noodles", which was posted as an easter egg at the end of the main film.  Engage the audience to watch it again.  In fact, the copywriting of "Kung Fu Panda" is very sufficient. Wan Xiaohu has also considered the sequel of "Kung Fu Panda" from the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the feature film, there are more short films with rich story backgrounds.  Arrangements have even been made for Abao animation and production of animated TV series has begun.  These short films and animated series include the 25-minute "Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Unparalleled Martial Arts", the 23-minute "Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Master", the 22-minute "Kung Fu Panda Thanksgiving Special", and the 27-episode "Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Master".  "The Legend of Kung Fu Panda", and the 3-minute "Kung Fu Panda: Noodle Family" of this video.  In "Kung Fu Panda: A Family of Noodles", it mainly tells the story of how Mr. Lao Eping took care of little Po when he grew up, how he taught Po how to make noodles, and how Po was lazy and fantasized about being with the Furious Five.  play.  In just 3 minutes, Po's childhood life is outlined with the theme of a bowl of noodle soup and the plot between father and son.  Obviously, on this Father¡¯s Day, such a short video is very attractive.  The global popularity of panda flash mobs has once again amplified the publicity effect.  This week, two new movies were released on a large scale in North America.  One is the superhero movie "Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer" produced by 20th Century Fox and from Marvel Comics. This is the sequel to "Fantastic Four" directed by Tim Story in 2005.  The movie made a global box office of $330 million, which is pretty good.  "Compared with recent superhero adaptations that have no connotations, the Fantastic Four focuses on a bizarre superhero family, with Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman as a pair.  The Human Torch is the younger brother of the Invisible Woman, and the Thing is their good friend.  Originally, the Invisible Woman was supposed to be played by Jessica Alba, and she became famous for it.  Wan Xiaohu changed Jessica's destiny, making her famous in "Wanted" and quickly quit the film industry to become his own housekeeper.  The "Fantastic Four" series is not a successful superhero movie.  With four household names and huge popularity, they are not as good as the "X-Men" series, but they are still in Wan Xiaohu's repurchase plan, but 20th Century Fox still wants to give it a try.  Wan Xiaohu just let them go, because he knew that 20th Century Fox would soon regret not selling it to Wan Xiaohu earlier.  Another medium-sized release this week is Warner Bros.¡¯s ¡°Pure Girl,¡± a film adapted from the best-selling novel. Warner Bros. follows the success of the ¡°Harry Potter¡± series.  I already like movies adapted from novels like this.  At the end of the three-day weekend, the box office is released.  ""Pornographic" only received 6.8 million US dollars in 2,612 theaters. Obviously this is not the next "Harry Potter" that Warner Bros. is looking forward to." ""Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" downward trend  Yu Pingping's "One Night" fell 28% to US$11.05 million this week. With US$13.1 million, the box office of "Ocean's Thirteen" fell slightly faster than "Ocean's Eleven" to US$90 million in 17 days.  and "Ocean's Twelve", with $18.5 million this week. "" According to Mojo's authoritative announcement, this week's North American box office champion belongs to "Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer". However, despite receiving $50.6 million.  It doesn¡¯t make 20th Century Fox happy, because this is 6 million US dollars lower than the opening result of the first film, which makes 20th Century Fox¡¯s ambition bankrupt.¡± ¡°The most surprising thing this week is that the box office runner-up ""  "Kung Fu Panda" grossed US$31.2 million over the three-day weekend, which was only an ultra-low 15% drop from the previous weekend. The total box office in 17 days was US$193 million, becoming the best result for a film directed by Wan Xiaohu in North America.  "Variety" magazine made a special comment: "The cultural popularity brought by Kung Fu Panda." The article stated that with the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda", the panda flash mob became a sensation.  China, the largest developing country, has gradually exploded into increasingly intense cultural expansion.  A group of Chinese directors headed by Wan Xiaohu began to frequently show China in the world through movies.  And because capital from China has begun to invest heavily in the United States, especially in the real estate industry, the inflow of capital has also increased the number of Chinese immigrants to the United States, and Americans have gradually begun to feel the presence of the Chinese.  Regardless of whether Americans show goodwill or bad intentions toward China, there is no denying the fact that they are beginning to desire to understand China.  At this time, "Kung Fu Panda", which is packaged with China's national treasure giant panda and China's quintessence Kung Fu, is popular and popular, so it is not a sudden thing.  The article also said that China has five thousand years of civilization and ancient memories.Once it wakes up, it will inevitably become the largest force to compete with Hollywood culture.  Of course, "Variety" is not a supporter of the China threat theory, so the article welcomes the rise of China and directors like Wan Xiaohu who represent Chinese culture.  And Wan Xiaohu is also a reader of "Variety Show". When he saw this article, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.  I don¡¯t understand what kind of director I am.  Many Chinese viewers believe that Wan Xiaohu is a Hollywood-style director and does not represent Chinese culture.  The United States also believes that Wan Xiaohu represents Chinese culture.  After calming down, Wan Xiaohu suddenly understood Li Yu¡¯s emotion when he and Li Yu discussed the directing plan for "Life of Pi". 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 Hong Kong since childhood.  I went to live in the United States and was treated as a foreigner by the 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 the local people.  In his words: "I have been drifting all my life without roots in blood, culture, or region. After drifting for a long time, I hope that my drifting will be my vague position." Wan Xiaohu didn't have such an idea. He grew up under the red flag.  When I was young, I was a very angry young man who hated Japan and America.  However, after the reform, the domestic environment became chaotic.  Coupled with the unsatisfactory life, I gradually became dissatisfied with the government and accepted some universal American values.  Now that I am living again, perhaps the honor of my family and country has gradually faded, and I am more eager to enjoy it and what kind of life is suitable to enjoy.  Just what kind of life you want to live.  Neither the Chinese system nor the American system is the best. Under this blue sky, it is just a matter of choosing the one that is more suitable for you.  He likes Chinese culture and civilization. Five thousand years of brilliance have produced so many precious jewels.  He also likes American individual heroism and often fantasizes about saving the world on his own.  He likes the freedom of speech in Western countries, and he can curse in the streets when he has nothing to do.  You can create whatever you want, but you also hate Western politicians who act on TV all day long, waste their energy on votes, and become the lackeys of capital by any means necessary to get votes.  He likes China¡¯s reserve and reservation, and likes this atheistic country where he doesn¡¯t need to worry about saying the wrong thing and offending religious people.  But I also hate China¡¯s harmony.  All gods and horses want harmony, but harmony makes you paralyzed!  This is a blue world.  Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t know what to do.  I could only put down the "Variety" magazine, look at the time, it was already past nine in the morning, and immediately put these thoughts behind me.  "Forget it, I am who I am, a firework with different colors! Make my movie. Live the life I want, promote Chinese culture by the way, and contribute a little to the rise of China. I am worthy of my ancestors."  Shaking his collar, Wan Xiaohu shouted to his assistant: "Go and inform the production team and the director team. Go to the performing arts hall and start today's heroine audition. By the way, let's go see the actresses who auditioned, Scarlett.  Have Johnson, Natalie Portman and others all arrived? Those who have not arrived will be directly disqualified. I don¡¯t like people who are late. " "Mtime Weekly Box Office Album: From the 12th to the 18th, "Kung Fu Panda."  " broke the 100 million mark again in a single week, boasting the June movie market with 102.4 million yuan. This week, the film schedule of "Kung Fu Panda" has increased to 65%, and the attendance rate has not decreased. " "The total box office in 17 days is 287.4 million yuan.  , can "Kung Fu Panda" break the record of 367 million yuan in "Never Ended"? " "This week, "Kung Fu Panda" has a total global box office of 175 million U.S. dollars, achieving two consecutive championships. As of the 19th, it has accumulated 491 million U.S. dollars worldwide?  Box office. It is about to exceed the 452 million US dollars of "Wanted" and become the highest-grossing movie directed by Wan Xiaohu. "How far will "Kung Fu Panda" go? "I think it will be on the list!  800 million!" Netizen [Iron Man] said.  "China can at least reach 400 million, and if it breaks the record, globally, it will be between 700 and 800 million US dollars." [Vanishing Maple] speculated.  "No matter how many billions it is, the boss will make a lot of money again with "Kung Fu Panda"." [Blooming in Dreams] praised.  "It has exceeded 100 million in two weeks. The boss is the most powerful!" "Haha, no matter how much it is, it has become a foregone conclusion that it will surpass Wu Yusen's "Mission: Impossible 2" of 540 million US dollars. Lao Wu can no longer brag about comparisons, Chinese directors  The director with the highest single-film box office. It¡¯s quite sad to live in the same era as the boss. The boss has already refreshed all the box office records. The next one is to capture the database of each small box office. " In order to live up to it.  Everyone¡¯s expectations,"Kung Fu Panda" worked hard to hit the box office, and Golden Harvest Entertainment and Sasha Entertainment also continued to expand the scale of the panda pop-up, trying to squeeze out every drop of potential.  Under such fierce momentum.  Box office success is spreading frequently.  North America¡¯s fourth weekend gross was $18.5 million, ranking third.  It grossed US$11.6 million in the fifth weekend, followed by US$7.32 million, then US$4.41 million Because of its excellent reputation, it was released for a full four months, and finally ended with a perfect score of US$291 million in North America.  Mainland China also enjoyed a stellar two months, with 81 million in the fourth week, 33 million in the fifth, 10.5 million in the sixth, 5.8 million in the seventh, 3.2 million in the eighth, and 1 million in the ninth, with a total box office of 421.9 million.  RMB ended the record of "Never Ending" and became the box office champion in mainland film history as an animated film.  Of course, this time it broke its own record, and it was a Hollywood project. Therefore, although it was the first movie to break 400 million, "Kung Fu Panda" did not celebrate its success again.  And in the long road to global release, at the end of December, after Japan, the last box office, was closed, the global box office answer sheet was handed over (To be continued)
