Hollywood Starts with Animation

On the first day of the broadcast of "SpongeBob SquarePants 2", the number of subscribers to UPN's cable TV children's channel exceeded 17 million in one fell swoop.

According to the ratio of at least two people in a family, that is to say, "SpongeBob SquarePants 2" has only been broadcast for one day, and the number of viewers is at least as high as 34 million; with the subsequent increase in the number of viewers, the number of viewers per episode and episode is conservatively estimated. There will be more than 60 million visitors.

It is not much different from the 78 million viewers of each episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the original time and space.

Well, there is still a small gap!

After all, UPN TV is still not the king of cable TV due to its size!

But even so, in the field of children's animation series, "SpongeBob SquarePants" has firmly established the position of the ace animation series. And it is not difficult to imagine that as the animation continues to be broadcast, its influence is bound to expand further, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the 78 million viewings per episode of the original time and space.

"Los Angeles Entertainment News" first published an opinion piece.

Well, as it has a good cooperative relationship with Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, it has always been praised. In the eyes of outsiders, it is the number one licking dog of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group!

Well, the kind without refutation!

All the employees of the "Los Angeles Entertainment News", including their bosses, were not at all surprised by the "dog licking" remarks in the world, and even took pride in it for a time.

Title: SpongeBob SquarePants, the King of Animated Series!

"Since the broadcast of "SpongeBob SquarePants" last year, it has been deeply loved by the general public with its humorous, humorous and entertaining fun, whether it is children or adults. ."

"Yesterday, the launch of "SpongeBob SquarePants 2" and its high number of subscribers are enough to testify to this."

"The plot, style, and level of humor are still so attractive!"

"As the production company of "SpongeBob SquarePants", Water World Animation Studio, and as its broadcast platform UPN TV network, I believe that with the continuous broadcast of "SpongeBob SquarePants", its influence will be further increased."

"Many people say that Pixar Animation is the new leader in the field of film animation; but we at the Los Angeles Entertainment News believe that,

Waterworld Animation is the new king of TV animation series! "

The entire article has more than 2,000 words, and there is nothing between the lines that praises the UPN TV network and the animation of the water world.

However......

Many old beauties still like the dog-licking remarks of the Los Angeles Entertainment News!

Today, the sales of the "Los Angeles Entertainment News" has increased by 45% compared with yesterday, which makes many media colleagues angry... envy to death!

What can they do?

Of course, play along with it!

In addition to reporting on "SpongeBob SquarePants", many media newspapers have not spared the newly launched animated series "Peppa Pig".

On the day of the premiere, a total of 5 episodes of "Peppa Pig" were broadcast, and the average number of subscribers per episode was 8.2 million.

That number certainly doesn't compare to the number of subscribers to SpongeBob SquarePants 2!

However, with 8.2 million subscribers per episode, "Peppa Pig", which only aired for one day, has become a first-class animation in the field of American TV animation;

Among all the animated series broadcast on major American TV stations yesterday, "Peppa Pig" was second only to "SpongeBob SquarePants 2" and won the second place in the number of viewers.

For a time, the bigwigs of major TV stations and animation production companies were shocked!

......

Disney Group.

Davidson George, the head of its subordinate Disney animation department, looked at the report data in his hand and was really angry.

"Damn water world animation!"

"It's just that you launched a "SpongeBob SquarePants" and grabbed the first place, but even a newly launched "Peppa Pig" came to play with prestige? It's a jerk!"

"Our Disney's "Snow White", "Sleeping Beauty" and other classic animations have also lost to them?!"

"How do I, and our entire animation department, explain to the group board?"

Davidson George was really furious. He tore the report in his hand to shreds, but he was still not relieved, and kicked a few times on the ground.

How does Disney animation exist?

It is the pride of American animation and the existence of civilization all over the world!

But now, the animation series they are proud of on weekdays has been defeated by other people's animations, and it is the kind that is crushed fiercely. How can they accept this?

Reputation damage is secondary!

The most direct manifestation is the economic loss. As soon as the US stock market opened this morning, the Disney Group, the parent company of Disney Animation, its share price fell by 0.12%. It has a market value of nearly 30 billion US dollars, and it lost 350 million US dollars all at once. paper wealth.

Michael Eisner, chairman of the Disney Group, called Davidson George, the head of the animation department, at the first time.

"If you still can't restore the decline, then get out of my way as soon as possible. The company does not support idlers, and it will not leave waste that tarnishes Disney's glory!"

......

In addition to the anger of the Disney Group, the other six Hollywood companies are also amazed.

Of course, the most affected are Marvel Comics and DC Comics!

On weekdays, children always talk about superheroes such as "Spiderman", "Hulk", "Superman" and "Batman", but today, "Little Sponge" and "Pie" will always pop up in their mouths. "Big Star", "Peppa Pig" and so on.

For a time, the Water World Animation Studio and the UPN TV network made a splash.

At the same time, after the headline titled "TV Little Emperor Zucker Wald" published by the "Los Angeles Entertainment News" not long ago, there are also two media today that have played this headline. And no longer sarcasm, but affirmation.

Even if there are still plenty of refutators, it's a good start.

Chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants.

Today, the sales of SpongeBob SquarePants House’s 7 stores in the Los Angeles area also ushered in a wave of explosions. From the beginning of the morning to the end of the business, there is an endless stream of people entering the store to buy peripheral products.

The dolls on the shelves were emptied again and again!

The two animation-related books, clothing, keychains, stationery and other peripheral products are also big sellers.

Taro Hashimoto, who is currently the new president of the chain stores surrounding SpongeBob SquarePants, has been either answering the phone or negotiating underwriting prices with surrounding chains in various states of the United States since the morning.

The related products of SpongeBob SquarePants House on the Amazon mall are also among the best-selling products.

Jeff Bezos even called directly, congratulations to Zucker for making money again!

...

Just when the audience was still discussing "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig", they just joined the WB public television network under the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Because tonight, the second season of "The Talent Show" is about to start!

In addition, well-informed people also learned that after the broadcast of "The Talent Show" tonight, the WB public television network will also try to broadcast a new variety show.

All media reporters couldn't help sighing: "Why is it all about Zucker Wald recently?!"
