    The wonderful year 2013 is coming to an end.  Wan Xiaohu¡¯s entertainment empire has also moved further towards major studios.  After integrating several special effects companies such as Digital Domain D2 and Industrial Light & Magic ILM, Dragon Warrior has become the largest and most top special effects company in the world. It produces special effects for hundreds of movies around the world every year and has accumulated a large amount of advanced CG visual effects.  effective technology.  However, the competition among today¡¯s special effects companies is too fierce and they are not very profitable. Dragon Warrior even lost millions of dollars last year.  Fortunately, Wan Xiaohu can still afford to lose this little money. Dragon Warrior is also looking for new business directions internally and exploring the construction of CG technology in other fields.  The development of Marvel comics is brilliant. Under the leadership of Kevin Feige, the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan is becoming more and more popular, and the live-action movies in production are already scheduled for the next seven or eight years.  There are also a lot of cartoons, short plays, TV series, short films, comics, etc. that complement the world view.  It can be said that in the battle for hegemony with DC Comics, Marvel Comics has completely left DC Comics, which is not alive or dead in live-action movies, behind.  Time Internet Group and YouTube are also becoming more and more powerful in the Internet field. Together with the acquisition of Netflix, it is difficult to find opponents in the field of streaming media services.  Abao Animation is also developing prosperously. After acquiring DreamWorks, the North American branch produces about six cartoons every year, and the Mainland China branch has become the leader of domestic animation. The cartoon and big movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"  Still a Riot film, "Qin Shi Mingyue" also relies on the injection of powerful Hollywood technology.  It has become a leading product of domestic animation.  Every year, Abao Animation supports a large number of talents who are interested in the field of animation.  Help them set up their own animation studios. Currently, they have supported studios such as Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie, Langyan Animation Studio, Jeep Duo Animation Co., Ltd., etc.  Jiahe Entertainment continues to lead the domestic entertainment industry, integrating film, television, entertainment, brokerage, records, investment, theaters, and peripherals. In terms of investment projects, it mainly participates in the production of Korean, Indian, and Hong Kong films, and will also cooperate with Savoy  Together with Sand Entertainment, they will co-produce Chinese blockbusters.  With the participation of Lionsgate Pictures, DreamWorks Movies, and Lucasfilm, Sasha Entertainment is increasingly showing its dominance.  Especially the strong attack in 2012.  It has accomplished a major feat in Hollywood over the past century. For the first time, a film company originating from the eight non-traditional major studios (MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, United Artists, Fox, Disney/RKO) has appeared.  It topped the annual box office championship in North America. ? Another global investor has focused its attention on Sasha Entertainment.  Although Sasha Entertainment is not listed, it controls five listed companies, all of which are popular, and their stocks are soaring.  Even if there is no guarantee of Wan Xiaohu's memory in the future.  This powerful industrial chain is enough to ensure that Sasha Entertainment firmly occupies a spot in the new six major entertainment companies.  This is about to pass in 2013, and Sasha Entertainment is still the same.  ¡°Warm Bodies,¡± a low-budget, heart-warming zombie film released in February, adapted from the novel of the same name, took in $66.38 million in North America.  A decent box office of US$117 million worldwide.  "The Hangover 3", released in April, was slower than the previous two films, but it still took in a box office of US$112 million in North America and US$318 million globally, and the story has come to an end.  No hope for a sequel.  ¡°Iron Man 3,¡± the first movie in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, released in May, may be affected by the effect of ¡°The Avengers.¡±  It once again achieved a godlike box office, with US$409 million in North America and US$1.215 billion worldwide.  There is no doubt that he will be ranked first in the world this year.  ¡°The Conjuring,¡± a new horror film by Lionsgate Pictures and Chinese director James Wan, was released in July. It grossed US$137 million in North America and US$318 million globally, which is perfect.  In the same month, the sequel "Despicable Me 2" produced by Po Animation was released. The Minions took the world by storm, earning US$368 million in North America and US$970 million globally, making huge profits.  In August, a Chinese-language film co-produced by China and the United States, the sequel "Time Planning Bureau 2", directed by Wu Ershan, achieved a good box office of 456 million yuan in mainland China, 102 million US dollars in North America, and 314 million US dollars globally.  Released in September, the 3D art blockbuster "Life of Pi", which took five years to complete, was directed by the great Chinese director Ang Lee and produced by Wan Xiaohu.  This film was originally planned as an art film, but it turned out to be unexpectedly popular, earning US$125 million in North America and US$609 million worldwide.  It has become Sasha Entertainment¡¯s annual Olympic blockbuster.  In October, the fantasy and magic movie "Now You See Me" was released, with US$118 million in North America and US$352 million globally, which was also a success.  November is another highly anticipated blockbuster. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" grossed US$425 million in North America and US$865 million globally, ranking first in North America at the end of the year.  As a result, whether it is North America or the world, the box office championship has fallen into the hands of Sasha Entertainment.    In the same month, "Thor: The Dark World", the second part of the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, was released, with US$206 million in North America and US$857 million globally, another bumper harvest.  "Red Flame Battlefield 2", another adaptation of DC Comics, earned US$53.26 million in North America and US$148 million globally, which is only so-so.  A perfect year!  The final battle is set for the animated film "Frozen" directed by Wan Xiaohu.  ¡­ Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t take part in all promotional activities. He stuck to his post-production position. It wasn¡¯t until August, when the final dubbing and synthesis work was completed, that he appeared at the Venice International Film Festival and presented the trailer for Frozen.  , meet the long-awaited audience.  This trailer is not a trailer, but is intended to attract male audiences and features the little snowman "Xue Bao" in the movie.  Olaf can fall apart at any time, which fits the boy's "soft violence" plot very well.  The subsequent full-length trailer also focuses on the adventure action plot.  Deliberately ignoring the theme that this is a musical.  However, Sasha Entertainment and Abao Animation¡¯s investment in the promotion of ¡°Frozen¡± is not high.  Especially compared to the indiscriminate promotional activities of "Iron Man 3", "Thor: The Dark World", and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", "Frozen" is very gentle.  It can¡¯t even compare to ¡°The Croods¡± and ¡°Despicable Me 2¡± which are aimed at summer releases.  First, as the director, Wan Xiaohu should have been the best publicity arrow, but he devoted himself to quality and did not show up for publicity at all.  Second, the voice actors are not well-known and have nothing to promote.  third.  Princess cartoons have always been Walt Disney's traditional strength. It was the first time that Abao Animation set foot in this fairy tale genre, and they didn't know how to promote it.  The effect is not obvious if the strength is too great.  ??For Sasha Entertainment executives, they have to do everything they need to do, and the rest will be left to God after the release.  It doesn¡¯t matter if you lose.  Anyway, this year Sasha Entertainment is firmly at the top of the global and North American box office. It doesn't matter if one or two movies are occasionally killed.  Time flies and it¡¯s November.  "Frozen" has also created a lot of momentum, and the results from pre-sale tickets are pretty good.  And after the production is completed.  Wan Xiaohu, who started spending time with his family and enjoying life, also recovered from his leisure time and began to work, participating in the final publicity stage.  Received interviews from several media outlets.  A promotional video about the behind-the-scenes production was recorded.  Although it is just a cartoon, the technology involved in "Frozen" is also very advanced.  It is the first film to use CG technology to shoot a 3D ice and snow world.  Different from the previous hand-drawn style, if CG animations want to surpass them in terms of fluency and realism, it will be a great test for the production team.  Fortunately, since the beginning of Wan Xiaohu¡¯s establishment of Abao Animation, he has poached a large number of talents from Pixar Animation and annexed DreamWorks Animation. The accumulation of technology is no longer a problem.  "How did you come up with the idea of ??filming a fairy tale? We know that it is "The Snow Queen" adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, but it doesn't seem to be that consistent with your style." The reporter asked.  Wan Xiaohu replied with a smile: "I never thought about making such a fairy tale film at first. One time my son and I were skiing in Switzerland. At night, he pestered me to tell stories. I told him again and again.  Once again. I simply thought that I would make the story into a movie and let him watch it himself. "How old is your son?" "Please change the topic." Wan Xiaohu refused to answer. As for his family, he didn't want them to live.  Under the spotlight, it is always treated as a secret and hidden.  "What is the audience positioning of "Frozen"? Many of Disney's princess cartoons are young female viewers. Is this the same?" "I think it is suitable for all ages and both men and women. It is a very suitable family movie.  "The theme song "Let-it-go" is very nice. I heard that you also participated in the production of this song? " "I drafted a draft, and the rest were completed by the Lopez couple.  , it took about two years to create. We hope that this song, in conjunction with the plot of the movie, can inspire something different. " "The last question, for "Frozen", how much box office do you expect, Director Wan.  ?¡± Wan Xiaohu thought for a while and stretched out a finger.  The reporter said in surprise: "Only 100 million US dollars?" Slowly, Wan Xiaohu stretched out a finger of his other hand.  "Twenty million US dollars, the cost is already 150 million US dollars." Wan Xiaohu then calmly took the twoHe intertwined his fingers to form a cross and said, "I hope it can exceed a billion dollars." "Huh?" The reporters were stunned.  An animated film that wants to make more than a billion dollars at the box office?  The reporters immediately turned from surprised to speechless. They looked at each other for a few times. They didn't know where Wan Xiaohu's confidence came from. Maybe it was because he won the best director at the beginning of the year and went to his head.  Young people are just unreliable and prone to overheating.  Especially Wan Xiaohu, who has had a smooth journey, made several blockbuster movies, and really regards himself as a god.  "Then I wish Director Wan good luck, and "Frozen" will become famous all over the world." The reporters didn't say anything, but they remembered in their hearts that when the movie is released, they will definitely despise Wan Xiaohu. Don't be too arrogant.  Be low-key.  PS: Unfortunately, Lao Bai is going to announce the eunuch in "The Magic Pen Shocks the Immortal". It's hard to write an eunuch!  In tears!
