Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 615 A ​​Utter Defeat!
At the same time, Chen Tianzhen dialed Zhou Yang's number.

"Hey? Xiao Yang, we've got a lot of suppliers asking if we sell plush toys of the various animals from Kung Fu Panda?"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up immediately, and he replied, "Then let our subsidiary produce a batch to try it out! After all, we own the copyright!"

Chen Tianzhen readily agreed; Zhou Yang was indeed a master at making money.

The response was extremely enthusiastic; the dolls launched by Chen Tianzhen were sold out immediately, but Zhou Yang did not intend to raise the price.

Sell ​​at the prevailing market price and allow some small businesses to purchase the copyright, after which they will then produce the product.

These small companies are extremely happy about this; Zhou Yang's actions have undoubtedly brought them a new lease on life, making him their benefactor.

Meanwhile, the release of global box office data on the first day stimulated a surge in sales of related toys.

Some businesses have made considerable profits from "Kung Fu Panda," such as certain travel companies and websites that sell plush toys.

However, Jiaozi and Zhou Yang were more concerned about the box office performance on the first day.

Kung Fu Panda grossed a staggering $2.3 million worldwide on its opening day!

This number doesn't seem particularly outstanding compared to Zhou Yang's previous films.

However, this film is an animated film!!!
This is extremely important!!!
Furthermore, the $2.3 million gross broke the record for the highest-grossing opening day worldwide for an animated film!

This is a completely new breakthrough!

This means that Chinese animated films are gradually entering the view of a global audience!
Starting with "Kung Fu Panda," the first shot of victory was fired!
It also allowed many overseas netizens to see the unique architecture and culture of China.

In contrast, Spider-Man vs. Snow White was a box office flop, grossing only $1.3 million worldwide on its opening day.

Compared to Disney's previous animated films, this one not only performed poorly at the box office, but also received terrible reviews.

Most online reviews, both domestic and international, favor "Kung Fu Panda," with many believing that Disney is not what it used to be.

Why isn't Disney as good as it used to be? Is it because they changed CEOs?

"Think about Disney's previous status in animated films, and then look at their current works, it's truly disheartening!"

"Disney is gradually declining, while Zhou Yang is undoubtedly a rising star!"

"Jiang Jun is the most handsome and has outstanding abilities! Even veteran film studios have to give way!"

"I have to say, the quality of Disney's movies these days is really worrying; they're practically awful!"

"It was never that great to begin with! I had high hopes for Disney, but now I'm extremely disappointed!"

"Sony should terminate its contract with Disney as soon as possible and return Spider-Man to Marvel!"

"..."

With the spread of information online, many casual viewers began to buy tickets to watch movies in theaters, and most of them chose the highly acclaimed "Kung Fu Panda".

The next day, the global daily box office figures were released!

As an animated film, Kung Fu Panda surprisingly topped the global box office that day.

The film grossed a whopping $2.6 million worldwide on its opening day!
This achievement sets a new record in the history of animated films!
It keeps breaking single-day global box office records!

What's even more remarkable is that this film achieved both critical and commercial success.

Meanwhile, "Spider-Man vs. Snow White," facing competition, only grossed $9000 million worldwide that day.

Clearly, Zhou Yang is the biggest winner, not only defeating Disney but also bringing Chinese animated films to the public eye. In this context, after a week, the global box office figures for the first week have been revealed.

Kung Fu Panda certainly did not disappoint, grossing $13 billion worldwide in its opening week!
This figure is truly astonishing, directly breaking the box office record for animated films and undoubtedly ranking first!

Not only was Zhou Yang very happy, but Jiaozi couldn't stop smiling after seeing the data.

As Conklin's work, he monitors these box office figures online every day.

Upon seeing such impressive results, Conklin excitedly exclaimed, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... 13 billion!!!"

It's amazing!
Kang Kelin immediately dialed Zhou Yang's number, so excited he was almost incoherent: "Oh, Jiang, this is wonderful! Without your meticulousness, such a result would have been impossible!"

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yang remained relatively calm, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Conklin, you're too excited, hahaha!"

"It's all thanks to you!"

"This is the result of our collective efforts!"

"Haha, that's right!" Conklin seemed very excited, and his carefree personality led him to agree.

After the call ended, Zhou Yang felt a surge of accomplishment seeing everyone's excited expressions.

He opened his phone to check again and learned that "Spider-Man vs. Snow White" only grossed $2.3 million in its opening weekend.

This number is even less than the daily box office of "Kung Fu Panda," which is truly embarrassing, and David and Sony are quite disappointed.

Meanwhile, upon hearing this financial report, David and Sony's top executives were not just frowning, but sweating profusely.

Spider-Man vs. Snow White lost a staggering $6 million!

The senior executives of both companies currently appear quite serious. In the past, even when there were disagreements, as long as it did not harm the company's interests, everyone could still communicate calmly.

However, the recent losses have seriously threatened the personal interests of senior management.

Ultimately, the two companies decided to hold a video conference.

However, at this meeting, due to the pressure of huge losses, the two sides found it difficult to communicate calmly and instead blamed each other for the root cause of the problem.

Ultimately, the two sides argued incessantly, and the meeting ended on bad terms.

Therefore, the two companies decided to completely break up and made it clear that they would no longer cooperate.

In this situation, Sony is in a state of extreme unease. It was not easy to climb to its current position, and now it is in such a predicament, which is really worrying about its future.

At the same time, an important call came from Sony Group headquarters.

This phone call left Sony feeling utterly desperate!

As a subsidiary of the Sony Group, Sony Pictures' current huge losses are clearly due to poor decision-making.

Therefore, Sony Group headquarters decided to remove the president of Sony from his post.

This has truly reached the worst possible point!
Sony sat helplessly in his chair, once again feeling regretful that he shouldn't have partnered with Disney, let alone made an enemy of Zhou Yang.

In a swift response, Sony headquarters decided to replace senior executives and released the news on social media.

#SonyMovies: A statement released today announcing that Sonny Jon has been removed from his position as president due to mismanagement! All Spider-Man production projects will also be suspended! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!#
