New Century Anime Warrior

Chapter 106 Damn! You're a genius!

With the widespread popularity of "0079" online, July has officially arrived.

For Si Hua, the production schedule of "Frozen" has become even more urgent.

Because Disney ultimately decided to release the movie on August 24th, which is only a month and a half away now.

Therefore, Frozen had already begun its promotional campaign when Gundam was released.

According to the plan developed by Disney's marketing department, the pre-launch campaign will last from early July to mid-July.

During this period, concept art, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and teaser trailers will be released gradually.

Next came the release of the final trailer and theme song across the entire internet, marking the beginning of the pre-launch phase and its explosive growth phase.

"Stephen, our theme song 'Let It Go' has just been officially released."

Mug handed Si Hua a cup of coffee and, incidentally, delivered some good news.

At this moment, Si Hua's eyes were bloodshot and red; he hadn't been able to sleep soundly for some time.

Perhaps all air signs are like this: when they should be idle, they're as idle as a salted fish, but when they're serious, they'd give their life for it.

"Released simultaneously with the final trailer?"

"Mr. Iger thinks highly of the theme song you wrote, so he plans to release it at the same time to further enhance the pre-release hype."

"Old Iger is still so confident."

Si Hua took a sip of the steaming hot coffee, as if his fatigue had truly been banished.

"So, can I invite everyone to witness the final trailer and theme song together?"

"Haha, Linda really knows you better. She's already gone to call her colleagues whose work isn't so urgent."

Before Muge could finish speaking, a group of people rushed into Si Hua's office. They were all his comrades who had been working together day and night in the animation building recently.

Screenwriting, art direction, 3D production, special effects, voice acting, music composition, etc.

"Boss Stephen, we're here!"

The entire office suddenly became very lively.

Let them relax for one night.

Otherwise, the bowstring will break if it's stretched too tight.

"When you arrive, sit down, have a drink, play some games, and if you have any good news, shout it out loud so everyone can celebrate together."

"yeah!"

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Frozen had already been completed and even achieved worldwide acclaim.

It seems everyone's been under a lot of pressure lately — oh, me too.

Seemingly sensing Si Hua's exhaustion, Lin Lin sat down next to him, gently took his arm, and leaned against him tenderly.

"I heard the theme song will be played on repeat on radio stations across the US, MTV, and our Disney Channel?"

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the girl, Si Hua chatted with everyone.

"Yes, it was also released on YouTube."

"Looks like this is quite a commotion."

"Of course."

At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly held up a tablet and excitedly shouted at Si Hua, "Boss Stephen, look at Twitter!"

""

Upon hearing this, everyone took out their phones or tablets and logged into their Twitter accounts.

Twitter's trending topics are now dominated by keywords like Frozen and LetltGo.

It hasn't been long since the final trailer was released, and it's already gaining momentum so strongly?

Although Disney itself has also promoted and attracted attention, the level of popularity is simply too exaggerated, and the upward trend is extremely rapid.

"Boss Stephen, our theme song has made it into the top 50 of the Apple App Store's music download chart!"

"It's on the bulletin board too! Wow, that's incredibly fast!"

"Many music BBS forums are flooded with this message."

Everyone was even happier to hear this, and they all raised their drinks and clinked glasses in celebration.

"It seems experience truly matters; Old Egger's judgment was spot on." Si Hua gently clinked his coffee cup against Mu Ge's.

Moog was also excited and immediately threw out a bet.

"How about we guess the number of views on YouTube in 24 hours?"

"The prize is coffee for everyone tomorrow, how about it?"

A little gambling is harmless fun, and Si Hua readily agreed.

"Deal! I bet it'll get over 100 million views."

"That's stingy. I'd guess 500 million!" Si Hua said dismissively.

This period coincided with the rise of mobile internet and the continued growth of the global internet user base.

Most people still obtain entertainment information through traditional means such as television, radio, and car radio.

Therefore, 500 million views on YouTube in 24 hours is already an astonishing figure.

As Si Hua predicted, the final trailer easily surpassed 500 million views.

Related keywords, such as Disney's annual animation, the most beautiful ice and snow scene, and Eastern genius, also trended on social media.

"A genius from the East saved this animation, and also saved Disney."

This is the conclusion drawn by many media professionals who dared to make pronouncements based solely on the final trailer.

However, these almost detrimental praises did not disturb Si Hua, who was still diligently working overtime.

The bait has been thrown out; if they can't deliver a delicious bowl of fish soup in the end, then he and Disney will become a laughing stock in the industry.

In early August, the final cut of the film, which had been completed to the last possible moment, was finally submitted to a senior Disney executive team for review.

Robert Iger led the board members to watch the finished film immediately.

Then this usually refined and composed old man stormed into Si Hua's office.

"Fuck!!"

Old Iger's F-sounding voice must have been quite powerful; he must have been a good boy who smoked, drank, and got perms when he was young.

"Stephen, you're a fucking genius!"

Old Iger's drooling reminded Si Hua of famous scenes from "Forrest Gump" and "Full Metal Jacket".

"I know I'm a genius—but Robert, you should take it easy. I feel like you're too old to handle this kind of stress."

"Bullshit! I can sleep with ten girls in one night now."

Robert Iger seems to be really into it; even the president of a global entertainment giant is starting to brag.

"Those old fogies on the board who opposed me watched the whole thing and they were like their mothers had died, not daring to utter a single word, hahaha, you have no idea how happy I am right now!"

"Okay, whatever makes you happy."

Si Hua truly didn't understand how much pressure there was in being the head of a large company, after all, he was only twenty years old and still a child.

"Oh, right, Stephen, remember to get ready. We're having the world premiere on August 15th, and I'm going to make it a grand affair!"

"Right here at the EICapitan Theater in Hollywood! I'm going to invite all the Hollywood celebrities and stars!"

"Stephen, my son, all of Hollywood will murmur your name, and you will be crowned king!"

No, you can't say that line.

Si Hua panicked.

This world clearly doesn't have Warcraft, so why is this old guy able to say such dangerous things so fluently?
