    To be honest, Wan Xiaohu couldn't believe that "Frozen" could have such a strong box office effect in Japan.  In recent years, especially in the 2010s, the exclusionary nature of the Japanese film market can be clearly felt. Hollywood has conquered the world with its films, but it is difficult to break through Japan.  For example, many superhero movies produced by Marvel Comics under Sasha Entertainment and planned by the Marvel Cinematic Universe have swept the world. When it comes to Japan, those who should be ignored will be ignored, and those who should be rushed will be thrown into the street.  As expected by all the media, Wan Xiaohu only believed that "Frozen" could get a box office of up to 100 million US dollars in Japan.  As a result, in twelve weeks and twelve consecutive championships, the box office soared to 21.23 billion yen, equivalent to 200 million U.S. dollars.  And this is not the limit of "Frozen".  Not long after Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya¡¯s second child, the little princess named Wan Pingping, was born.  On August 31, 2014, "Frozen" was finally officially released in Japan, with a total box office of 26.429761167 yen, which is converted into US$249 million.  It surpassed the 26 billion yen of "Titanic" and was second only to the 30.4 billion yen of "Spirited Away".  At the same time, it also won a terrifying 16th consecutive championship in Japan. This is the first time in the past ten years that a movie has achieved 16 consecutive championships in Japan!  After the last box office draw in Japan, the total global box office of "Frozen" was fixed 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.  and the subsequent sales of DVDs and soundtracks.  ???????????????????????In North America, the box office is 410 million US dollars, ranking 19th on the North American film history list.  Ranked fourth in North American animated film history.  The sales of DVDs in Blu-ray, DVD, BD and other formats have also successfully topped the animation DVD championship.  It contains the original soundtrack of "Let-it-go", which topped the US Billboard best-selling week twice.  At the same time, this song has been translated into 42 language versions and is popular all over the world.  The Japanese box office grossed 26.43 billion yen, equivalent to US$249 million, ranking second in Japanese film history and second in Japanese animated film history.  The Blu-ray disc "Frozen-Movie-NEX" that is being released sold 661,000 copies on the first day of release.  It broke the Japanese Blu-ray disc first-day, first-week, and cumulative sales records.  The box office in China was RMB 1,123.5 million, equivalent to US$183 million, ranking fifth in the history of Chinese films and champion in the history of Chinese animated films.  The Korean box office grossed 10.26 million, equivalent to US$76.7 million, ranking twelfth in Korean film history and champion in Korean animated film history.  UK $65.72 million.  Germany is US$48.27 million, France is US$46.94 million, Russia is US$33.44 million, Australia is US$31.06 million, Italy is US$26.42 million, and Mexico is US$25.73 million.  Brazil US$21.73 million, Spain US$21.67 million, Venezuela US$12.515 million, Argentina US$11.555 million, and the Netherlands US$10.51 million.  Over one million dollars in ticket storage.  43 in total.  It broke various records held by most cartoons around the world.  Because it's hot.  The stage play has been adapted and is about to hit the Broadway stage.  At the same time, Abao Animation and Sasha Entertainment immediately announced that a sequel was in the works after the box office exceeded 1 billion.  We will first release a short film "Frozen-Fever" in the spring of 2015 to maintain the popularity.  At the same time, Golden Harvest Entertainment and Sasha Entertainment have jointly built 30 new theme parks around the world, and they have also confirmed that "Frozen" will be included in the parks.  Then, games of the same name, animated series, souvenirs, dolls, etc. are also in full swing.  According to calculations by Sasha Entertainment's planning department, "Frozen" has leveraged a market pie of approximately US$3 billion. As long as the quality of the sequels is maintained, this pie will get bigger and bigger and become an ever-lasting brand.  .  ¡­ As time enters September, Wan Xiaohu finally begins to create his first original film.  After the final formulation by the screenwriter and planning team, it was officially announced to the public.  On September 1st, it was drizzling.  In the lobby of the Dandelion Building in Beijing, hundreds of media outlets gathered together, whispering to each other from time to time.  When the clock on the wall pointed to nine in the morning, there was a commotion 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 flashing lights, everyone walked to the podium and sat down. Chen Xiaowei opened the ceremony: "Welcome friends from the press. Today is the press conference for Director Wan's new film. We will introduce this new film in 30 minutes, and we will leave a message at the end.  30 minutes will be left for you to ask questions. " Chen Xiaowei, who was born in the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, is a strong businesswoman. She has been working for Jiahe Group for six years and was recently promoted to the vice president of the group, responsible for the development of the Chinese market.  Su Ya is still here nowDuring the confinement period, Chen Xiaowei was responsible for the specific affairs of the company.  The personable Chen Xiaowei is equal parts intelligent and beautiful: "As for Director Wan's new film, please look at the big screen next to me. This is the first concept poster. The name of the new film is on the poster, "Yellow Emperor"  "." Following Chen Xiaowei's finger, everyone looked at the screen next to them, which showed a huge poster.  The two characters "Yellow Emperor" in the poster are like silver hooks and iron paintings.  Under the font, a tall figure holding a sword stood in the center of the huge altar, looking up at the sky.  The whole poster is pale yellow in color and has a simple composition. At first glance, it immediately gives a sense of historical vicissitudes.  ""Yellow Emperor" is a reconstruction of the legendary Chinese ancestor Yellow Emperor. Director Wan personally led the screenwriting team to sort out the ancient myths and legends about the Yellow Emperor in an attempt to reproduce our ancient Chinese myths. Under the auspices of Director Wan,  Jiahe Entertainment has begun to create a new movie project! "This project is named - Ancient Legend Movie Myth System. It plans to use many mythological movies to interpret the legendary stories that we were familiar with when we were young.  Those fragmented and sporadic mythological stories are summarized into a complete system. ""The first phase of the current system has only one "Yellow Emperor" planned. It plans to invest 1 billion yuan and invite an all-star lineup to create the most important one.  A top-notch domestic epic blockbuster! I would like to ask Director Wan to give us a more detailed explanation of the film.¡± The reporters gave us some applause.  Wan Xiaohu reached down and signaled everyone to be quiet: "My team and I started preparations for the Mythology System of the Ancient Legends movie very early. As everyone knows, I supervised most of the movies planned in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including superhero movies.  It was very successful. Compared with fictional comics, I think the myths and stories left to us by our ancestors are the real treasures.¡± ¡°I have said it a long time ago that we must explore our own wealth, classics, and comics.  Legends, myths, and history are all assets that we Chinese people can be proud of. Some people in the team previously proposed adapting the classics to film Monkey King and Nezha. In the end, I rejected these proposals. I think many Chinese directors and producers now,  We have begun to realize that our national treasures are still not satisfactory, but we have indeed seen this progress, which is a good thing. " "So the direction we have determined is to focus on mythology.  Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created humans and mended the sky, Fuxi created Bagua, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, Jiutian Xuannv, Jingwei filled the sea, etc. In the past, we said that the CG special effects were not up to par.  Nowadays, technology has developed to bring out the color of myth. You can produce any effect you want. This is why fantasy-themed movies have become more popular in recent years. ""The Yellow Emperor" is an experimental film based on the ancient legend movie mythology.  , in my imagination, the life of the Yellow Emperor will be shown in the form of a trilogy, his war with Emperor Yan, his war with Chi You, and finally his cultivation and immortality. Of course, it is also a commercial movie in itself, and will be followed up.  The whole plan needs to be tested by the market." After introducing "Yellow Emperor", half an hour passed and it was the reporters' turn to ask questions.  "Director Wan, you used to always start filming another movie before one movie was released, but this time it was more than half a year after "Frozen" was released before you announced the new movie. Is there any reason?" Wan Xiaohu  It is impossible to tell others that from now on, I will start to create original works, and the speed will naturally slow down. I can only use other reasons to excuse it: "Well, I spent the best ten years of my youth shooting non-stop."  To be honest, movies ignore too much of my family. I am thirty-four years old, and I don¡¯t want to regret that when I get older, I didn¡¯t enjoy the family happiness that I should have enjoyed. I hope that movies will become my life.  "Have you chosen the cast of the movie "Yellow Emperor" yet? Although the script of "Yellow Emperor" has been completed, we need to carefully consider the actors.  In order to cooperate with the entire ancient legend movie mythology system, the production team and director team are currently screening the general types of actors that fit the image. "When will "The Yellow Emperor" be scheduled? "If everything happens.  If everything goes well, it will be released in June 2016. "Director Wan, "Transformers 4" has already received nearly 2 billion in box office, making it the best-performing movie in China. "The Yellow Emperor" will hit "Transformers 4".  "A record?" "Haha, you're asking this question. I haven't even started shooting the movie yet. How can I think about breaking the record in two years?" "Director Wan, you said before that you will shoot commercial movies to the extreme.  , and now turns to making artistic films.You are already one of the greatest directors in the world, an Oscar-winning director, a master of science fiction, and a famous commercial director. The total box office of the fifteen films you have shot has accumulated to 6.555 billion US dollars, temporarily ranking second in the world.  Don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve taken your business to the extreme?  " Wan Xiaohu was surprised: "It turns out that I have become so popular without knowing it, haha.  I think, no matter what kind of movie you make, in the final analysis, you have to make the movie you like.  I want to tell a story, so whether I use commercial techniques or artistic techniques, it¡¯s just a process, and the result is that I finish telling the story I want to say.  " After a pause, Wan Xiaohu continued: "Now I want to sort out China's ancient legends, so I have the ancient legends movie mythology system.  When I get older and want to look back on the past, I may make another movie called "My Childhood", or "My University", or "In the World".  " " Destiny itself is an unknown journey. It is difficult for you to follow the set script and execute it meticulously. So in this process, how to achieve the best result you think is your goal.  .  I feel that I made the best choice in the past fourteen years. Although there are some regrets, I don¡¯t want to do it again.  " "I now have a new experience. I have been shooting movies in Hollywood in recent years. In fact, I prefer shooting Chinese movies.  Chinese-language films can contain every detail of my growing up past, childhood fantasies and youthful longings.  It's like I've come out of a circle. I've been waiting for many years since I made "Waiting Alone". I've taken a quick look at the world, returned to the original place, and started a new journey, not physically.  Travel is a spiritual journey.  " "There are many possibilities in the future. I can't see clearly or touch them, but I'm looking forward to them.  " "I think the movie "Yellow Emperor" will be a brand new beginning for me!  " Wan Xiaohu, who was talking eloquently, smiled brightly. " His life story has turned a circle since 2014, and now it continues to move forward in a straight line. His last self was down and out, trapped, without self-confidence, and a complete loser.  This self is a rich, calm, confident, and idol-level achiever. When the press conference ended, Wan Xiaohu gently clenched his fists: "Thank God for the gift, and I will continue to make movies with all my heart in return.  !  "
