CHAPTER 1843: CHAPTER 965: THE GROWING REPUTATION OF NEZHA THE DEVIL CHILD

Ding Yue’s words were not about boosting others’ morale at the expense of his own confidence.

The main issue was that Penguin Group’s animated movie "League of Legends: The First War" had such a strong performance on its first day of release. Including the evening’s pre-sale box office, it had already reached 600 million yuan, which was quite terrifying.

Ding Yue knew it might be impressive but didn’t expect it to be this impressive. It seems the League of Legends IP is truly appealing.

This made Ding Yue realize one issue: with Penguin Group achieving such success with the League of Legends adaptation of "League of Legends: The First War," they might be making a League of Legends animated movie every year from now on.

After all, League of Legends’ world background is strong, and many animated movies could be adapted from it, instantly giving Penguin Group the wealth key.

This is a huge challenge for every animated movie made by Feiyue Animation Studio in the future.

However, thinking carefully, this is actually a good thing. Having challengers makes everyone at Feiyue Animation Studio take each of their animated works seriously. Only in this way can everyone remain vigilant and avoid a catastrophic failure due to complacency.

This time, "NeZha the Devil Child" might not beat "League of Legends: The First War," but it certainly won’t be a crushing defeat, because the initial screening of "NeZha the Devil Child" was too low and the reputation hasn’t been built up yet.

Once "NeZha the Devil Child" builds up its reputation, it can gain more box office just like "Wandering Earth" did. As long as the quality is there, the audience will not miss such an excellent movie in this era, which is no longer about famous actors and directors or trending stars boosting box office numbers.

Now it’s about the quality and reputation of the movie itself!

Part of why Penguin Group’s animated film "League of Legends: The First War" is so popular today is also due to its quality and reputation being pretty good.

At least it can reach an eight-point standard.

"Principal Ding, I’ll start preparing for the construction of Feiyue Cinema in major cities across the country once I get back."

An Yujia had already begun planning in her mind.

After all, Principal Ding had said to pilot the construction of Feiyue Cinema, and as the CEO of Feiyue Group, she naturally had to go all out.

An Yujia is 70% confident in the Feiyue Cinema project. The remaining 30% is because, as she just told Principal Ding, the cinema market is already quite saturated, making it genuinely challenging to find new growth points.

But as Principal Ding said, as long as Feiyue Cinema is well-constructed, there is still a chance.

An Yujia can only offer Principal Ding some suggestions. Since Principal Ding has made a decision, she will certainly follow his orders unless the order is completely wrong, in which case she would advise or offer her opinion.

"Alright, thank you, Miss An."

Ding Yue nodded slightly and calmly said to An Yujia.

This matter was left to Miss An to handle, and Ding Yue had a good sense of what the final result might be. If the pilot construction fails, he would bear the loss himself.

But if it succeeds, those arrogant cinemas will feel the devastating impact brought by the era’s innovation.

"Yue, are we set on suing the cinemas after ’NeZha the Devil Child’ finishes its run?"

Huang Youjie also asked Ding Yue from the side.

"That’s right."

Ding Yue nodded, answering Huang Youjie, "We can’t let these cinemas get a taste of arrogance."

"But Yue, don’t you think the cinemas gave our ’NeZha the Devil Child’ a low screening rate, and that it favored ’League of Legends: The First War’? Could Penguin Group be involved?"

Huang Youjie muttered uncertainly.

Based on past events, whenever it involves competition between Penguin Group and Feiyue Group, Penguin Group is often behind stirring things up.

"Do you even need to ask?"

Ding Yue glanced at Huang and said, "No one would believe Penguin Group didn’t meddle. However, this sort of thing is very normal, and it’s hard for us to get direct evidence. As long as the arrogant cinemas understand that breaking the screening agreement will result in punishment, once they pay the price, they’ll be more cautious in the future."

"But won’t this mean cinemas might target Feiyue Media’s works in the future?"

Huang Youjie said worriedly.

After all, once this lawsuit with the cinemas goes through, a grudge will be formed, and in the future, if cinemas don’t allocate many screenings to Feiyue Media’s films, there won’t be much they can do about it.
