Hollywood Starts with Animation

New York.

On a street in Manhattan, the movie channel of Zucker's WB TV station sent popular host Kemi to conduct street interviews.

"Hi sir, I'm Kemi, the host of WB TV's "Sunday One Entertainment", can I interview you a few questions?"

The young and beautiful host Kemi in a beige dress asked a handsome young man in a white shirt and black trousers.

"Oh!!!"

"God! You're Kemi, Kemi Troy from Sunday One Entertainment?!"

The handsome young man had a stern expression just now, um, no strangers are allowed in, but now, he is very excited to look at the beautiful hostess Kemi.

Kemi smiled: "Yes, I'm Kemi Troy, can I interview you a few questions?"

After getting a positive answer, the handsome young man jumped up immediately, his face full of unbelievable expressions.

"Oh, God!"

"Are you sure it's not April Fool's Day?"

"Oh... Kemi, I'm Chrisann, you don't know how much I like you, uh, it's not just me, there are many friends around me, Dade, Ace, Seoter, Buffy. ..and there are many, many people who love you very much, and of course, the "Sunday One Entertainment" program you host."

"Eh? You want to interview me a few questions, of course."

"However, you must sign for me later!"

The handsome young man is set to collapse.

His character is not cold on the outside at all, but a chatter, even the host Kemi can't interrupt his chatter at this moment.

Kemi said: "Mr. Chrisann, I interview, you answer, I will sign your autograph later, OK?"

Hearing this, the handsome young man nodded immediately.

"Our "Daily Entertainment" program is doing a special report on the "Spider-Man" movie in this issue. As the "Spider-Man" DVD and video tapes are about to be released, I would like to ask you a few questions."

"First question: have you seen the Spider-Man movie?"

Cammy asked.

"certainly!"

The handsome young man blurted out: "I am a big fan of "Spider-Man", when I was 6 years old, I first came into contact with "Spider-Man" comics, God, I love this birthday from my parents so much It's a gift, I remember..."

Chatting mode continues.

The beautiful hostess, Kemi, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of her mouth.

The cameraman who followed was even more speechless.

......

Mary, female, 25 years old, currently works for a home improvement design company in Manhattan.

"Mary, will you buy the Spider-Man DVD as soon as possible?" Kemi asked the passerby.

Hearing this, Mary replied: "I will choose to buy it. When "Spider-Man" was released last year, my boyfriend and I went to see it, and my girlfriends and I have seen it in the theater more than once. Love! Speaking of which, Kemi, I think your boss, Zucker Wald, should thank me, and my friends and I have contributed a lot to the box office."

......

"You're asking me about the Spider-Man DVD and video release?"

"Oh, God!"

"Of course I know the news!"

"Bookstores, subway stations, shopping malls, restaurants... There are posters for Spider-Man DVD releases everywhere, how could I not know?"

"Of course, I won't be bored. You know, I'm a big fan of Little Spider."

"The regular edition is $9.9, the special edition is $19, and the deluxe edition is $40. For these three types of DVDs, I will choose the deluxe edition without hesitation. Compared with the 117 minutes of the theatrical release, I have an extra 18 minutes. Certainly not to be missed."

An 18-year-old high school student wearing a basketball uniform was interviewed by the female host Kemi and faced the camera.

......

At noon that day, I interviewed Kemi, who had been in the morning, and returned to the New York branch of WB TV.

Cross!

"Daily Entertainment" producer Jamien: "Kemi, report your investigation."

The hostess Kemi said: "After my 3-hour investigation in the morning, I interviewed a total of 100 people. Among them, there are people who have seen the "Spider-Man" movie, accounting for 72 people, and they are willing to buy it as soon as possible. DVDs, 65 people."

"Of course, the vast majority of the groups I interviewed are young people between the ages of 15 and 35, who are the main group for movie entertainment consumption."

a group of data;

A satisfaction survey;

Including the program planning of this issue of "Daily Entertainment", it is all to promote "Spider-Man"!

Producer Jamien nodded and said, "Although this data and report cannot accurately reflect the situation, it is of great benefit to our current program and the requirements of our leaders."

Propaganda, of course, is to tout it hard!

As a company under Zucker, WB Television Network and Wald Pictures are under the jurisdiction of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group. Naturally, there will be no hindrance.

Otherwise, without Zucker coming forward, Ms. Donna Langley wouldn't make it easier for those who are behind.

......

Time is fleeting~

May 15.

Amazon e-commerce platform, Blockbuster stores, Barlow Bookstore, SpongeBob SquarePants surrounding chain stores...

At 7:00 this morning, the DVD and videotape of the "Spider-Man" movie will be released on time in the United States!

"Quick, quick, get moving!"

"All the staff in the warehousing department, I ask that they must be prepared at all times to ensure the stock of major sales points. Once there is a vacancy, it must be filled as soon as possible."

It's not Zucker or Kevin Feige, president of Wald Pictures, who is calling the shots, but Taro Hashimoto, director of the group's home entertainment department.

That's right, it's the little devil Hashimoto Taro.

Hashimoto Taro is not only the president of the SpongeBob SquarePants chain store, but also the general manager of the Baez Doll Factory, and the director of the family entertainment department of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

Multitasking!

From DVD recording, engraving to warehousing, sales, etc., Hashimoto Taro is completely responsible for it. In terms of retail, he has a strong ability.

There were many moviegoers who came to buy the movie at the major sales points and stores that sold "Spider-Man" DVDs and videotapes. Although there was no torrent of long queues, the number of people was still endless.

Adjust the goods!

As of noon, the Los Angeles Distribution Center has dispatched three batches of inventory to major sales points in a row. What's more, the Los Angeles Center Bookstore of Barlow Books has sold 500 copies of the book in one morning. Spider-Man special edition DVD, the regular edition also sold more than 900 copies.

Sales are gratifying!

Good news!

As of 4 p.m., according to data from sales points across the United States, the cumulative sales of the regular, special, and deluxe editions of "Spider-Man" DVD and video tapes have exceeded 420,000 copies.

This statistic is undoubtedly amazing!

You must know that it is only 4:00 pm, and 5-7:00 pm, which is the golden period of DVD sales.

In 1998, "Titanic", which set a film history record, sold only 480,000 copies in the offline market of DVDs and videotapes on its first day, ranking first in the history of the offline market.

"Huh~"

"The $20 million publicity fund is really not in vain!"

"Today's cumulative sales can definitely break the first place occupied by "Titanic"!"

Zhu Ke, who received the news, smiled wide-eyed.

From start to finish, Zucker was confident about the release of Spider-Man on DVD and video. In the original time and space, the offline market sales of the "Spider-Man" trilogy firmly held the first place, and it was the later "Transformers" movie series that could pose a threat.

But now, there is no shadow of the "Transformers" movie.

"Spider-Man" is definitely fighting for defeat in the offline market, and there is no opponent to fight!

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of DreamWorks Animation, is very upset right now.

"My animated film "Shrek" produced by DreamWorks is about to be released, and it is at an important moment of publicity. However, the current limelight and popularity have been taken away by "Spider-Man"."

"Zuck, you bloody bastard!!!"

" "The first more is sent.
