The next day.

In the morning.

At a theater in Beijing.

Its time for work.

Little Liu, do a check on the equipment.

Little Wang, how many movies are screening today?

Just four, but most of the sessions are for Frozen.

Hai, to give an animated film such a screening rate, will it really work out? Will people really watch it?

Sister Han, the ticket bookings have been tabulated!

What are the ticket sales for today?

Theyre all sold out!

What? Sold out?

The tickets for all of Frozens showtimes have been sold out.

Huh? There are people buying tickets for the morning sessions too?

Damn, just how many fans does Teacher Zhang have!

Shanghai.

In a theater.

Look!

Isnt that Director Li Ke?

Hes here?

Ah, I saw Xu Meilan!

Sister Lan also came to support the movie?

And Jiang Hanwei too! Thats Jiang Hanwei, right?

Its him. Old Jiang has also been filming a show in Shanghai recently.

That theater is booked for the day. The attendees are all celebrities.

Awesome!

New York.

Several Hollywood animation directors came together in a group.

These people were all well-known animation directors in Hollywood. One of them was even the director of a Top 3 animated film of all time at the Hollywood box office, even though its earnings werent that much compared to Hollywood live-action movies.

Are we really going to watch it?

Come on, lets have a look.

It cost 200 million dollars to make, so I would like to see what he came up with.

I dont have much hope for it.

The new directors are all too arrogant for their own good.

Yeah, who doesnt know how tough it is to make an animated film? As someone who has only made a live-action movie, what does he know about animated films? What does he know about Hollywood animated films?

London.

Wow!

Who is that?

Lillian!

Lillian brought her family here to watch a movie?

Is she going to watch Potters new movie?

Surely? She has a guest role in that movie, after all.

Eh, thats not right. She didnt go into that cinema hall!

That cinema hall isthe VIP cinema hall for Frozen?

What? Lillian is going to watch Zhang Yes animated film?

Lillian has actually come to support Zhang Yes movie on its premiere day? Shes not even going to watch the movie she acted in?

Uh, its making me wanna watch Frozen as well.

Why dont we also buy a ticket for it?

Japan.

At a downtown theater.

Several acquaintances bumped into each other in the crowd.

Ah, Kyoko.

Ah, Seki-chan?

Editor Fujita, what are you also doing here?

Ahem, you all came to watch Frozen too? Werent you all calling to boycott Zhang Ye at the editorial department yesterday? You were so hyped about the boycott, so what are you are doing here!

No, thats you! Youre always the first person to criticize Zhang Yes new works, but arent you here too?

Im just curious, arent I?

Hai, we were curious too.

Keep this matter a secret. We never saw each other.

Uh, OK.

France.

At a media session.

Many media personnel had come, with quite a few film critics among them. When everyone got seated in the theater, they took out their pens and notebooks and got ready to write their reviews of the movie.

This farce is finally coming to an end.

Yeah, Zhang Ye was too impulsive this time.

Everything was actually going very well for him in the international entertainment scene.

Who let him challenge the Hollywood directors?

The movie hasnt even started yet. Talk after we finish watching it.

Is there still a need to watch it? Do you really think that he can win?

During the Nobel Prize award ceremony, during the premiere of Wolf Warrior 2, during the time Man vs. Wild was showing, Ive always stood on the losing side by writing my drafts in advance. So Ive decided this time that as long as its a report on Zhang Ye, I will only write my drafts after Ive watched to the end. This is a very special person were talking about.

On the Web.

Netizens from all over the world appeared.

Quite a few social media personalities also joined the festivities. They used their own ways to share this moment of the ultimate bet between Zhang Ye and the Hollywood directors by livestreaming to their fans.

Its starting!

The live text commentary for Frozen is beginning now!

Ive arrived at the theater, and Ill be updating everyone on how Zhang Yes new movie turns out, haha.

Two minutes and counting down!

The lights have dimmed! I cant wait!

Everyone, wait for my video review.

The worst animated film with the largest budget in history will be coming soon!

On the day of the premiere.

Media outlets from around the world were all in attendance.

The entire worlds industry insiders were paying attention to this.

Many normal people also went to watch the movie at the earliest showtime.

Zhang Yes sisters.

Xu Meilan.

Lillian.

Fan Wenli.

Jiang Hanwei.

Zhang Xia.

Many of Zhang Yes family and friends had come to catch the premiere.

A lot of people knew how capable Zhang Ye was and what he could do, but his opponents this time were simply too good. That 700 million USD box office movie that Wilson directed had backed Zhang Ye into a tight corner. They had never seen Zhang Ye lose before, but they knew even the most capable person couldnt keep winning forever. If there was ever a time when Zhang Ye would lose, then it would probably be this day.

At this time.

Frozen premiered around the world.

When the first scene played, many people were taken by surprise.

On the screen.

Elsa. Elsa! Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

Anna, go back to sleep.

I just cant. The skys awake, so Im awake, so we have to play.

Go play by yourself.

Do you want to build a snowman?

Hehe.

Come on, come on, come on, come on! Do the magic! Do the magic!

Ready?

This is amazing!

Watch this!

Wow!

Korea.

The theater burst into an uproar.

Oh my God!

What kinds of visuals are these?

It looks exquisite, doesnt it?

The character designs are so pretty!

These two girls are so cute!

Ive never seen an animation with such good visuals before!

This looks like it was really made frame by frame!

So this is what 200 million USD can make?

Zhang Ye is such a wastrel. Hes so bold to spend money like that!

Yeah, no one else would dare to spend as much as he has!

Ah, Annas hurt!

On the screen.

The story continued developing.

Annas memory was altered.

Elsa was confined to the castle and isolated from others.

Everything had calmed down and seemingly returned to normal.

Do you want to build a snowman? / Come on, lets go and play. / I never see you anymore. / Come out the door. / Its like youve gone away. We used to be best buddies / And now were not. / I wish you would tell me why. / Do you want to build a snowman. / It doesnt have to be a snowman.

Elsa said, Go away, Anna.

Anna sang dejectedly, OK, bye.

When this song played, it surprised countless moviegoers around the world once more.

New York.

The Hollywood animated film directors were stunned.

Music?

Why is there music?

It has tied music into the plot and dialogue?

Can it even be done this way?

Woode, has anyone made an animated film in this way before?

I thinkits never been done like this before!

Zhang Ye really does know how to make a Hollywood animated film!

This does have the style of Hollywood! Yet its not quite the same!

Beijing.

At the theater that Zhang Yes sisters were.

Ahhh!

Anna is so cute!

Its such a good song!

Why is this song so good!

Theyre both so adorable!

I thought this was going to be a sad story, but when the song played, why does it change the entire mood of everything? They even used the lyrics as their lines?

This animated musical was made by our brother?

Oh, our amazing brother!

London.

Lillians family was rather surprised.

So how is it? I wasnt wrong in bringing you all to watch this, right?

Sis, that Chinese friend of yours is so impressive.

Im sure this opening has captured everyones attention.

Is this a brand new type of animated musical? Its truly unimaginable.

Lillian smiled and said, This fellow has always had a lot of guts to try out new things. But even with what weve seen, it might not be enough to outdo those Hollywood directors. Lets see what else he has up his sleeves for the rest of the movie.
