Since the premiere of "Finding Nemo", for the next two days, the WB Television Network aired trailers for "Finding Nemo" on rotation during prime time every night.
"Huh?"
"Box-office-worthy visuals, they're absolutely magnificent!"
Indeed, when countless viewers saw the trailer, they were immediately attracted by the clear and magnificent visuals.
"Hmm?"
"The Waterworld Animation Company that produced this animation is actually the creator of 'peppa pig' and 'spongebob squarepants'?!"
A significant number of viewers were shocked!
It couldn't be helped; behind-the-scenes is just behind-the-scenes.
In many cases, works produced by a production company have considerable fame within a certain range, but when the behind-the-scenes production company or director is mentioned, those who know them are inevitably few and far between.
For example:
After Marvel Company released the "Iron Man" movie, the name Iron Man quickly gained great fame worldwide, yet Marvel Company remained unfamiliar to people outside of America; however, once it's mentioned that "Spider-Man" and "Hulk" are also Marvel works, you'll definitely go "Aha!"
With the release of "Iron Man 2", "Iron Man 3", and "The Avengers", Marvel Company finally became thoroughly famous worldwide and recognized by many young viewers.
Waterworld Animation was the same.
If you randomly asked a passerby on the street, "Do you know Waterworld Animation Company?"
Surely, very few would know!
But if you asked, "Have you heard of 'peppa pig' and 'spongebob squarepants'?"
Then, the vast majority of passersby would nod.
Now, when Waterworld Animation promotes the "Finding Nemo" movie, bundling it with "spongebob squarepants" and "peppa pig" can definitely play a huge promotional role...
Oklahoma.
It is a state located in the south-central United States,
bordering Missouri and Arkansas to the east, and New Mexico and Texas to the west; Oklahoma's land area is 181,000 square kilometers.
With such a vast land area, the state's population is only over 3 million.
By 2020, it was only close to 4 million people, a typical sparsely populated state.
However... this place has been a key area of operations for Golden Dawn Entertainment Group for the past two years.
Many subsidiaries such as Page Pictures, Waterworld Animation, SpongeBob House, WB Television Network, and UPN Television Network have all established branches and departments in Oklahoma.
Nearly 2,000 people across the state work for Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
The population it reaches is even closer to ten thousand.
"Hmph!"
"Do you think I want to invest heavily in the sparsely populated Oklahoma?"
"There's really no other way!"
"The populous and prosperous states have all been carved up by major corporations; there's basically no piece of the pie for Kyle, so he could only settle for the next best thing and move to Oklahoma."
Precisely because of this, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has immense influence in Oklahoma.
Once the promotional reports for "Finding Nemo" came out, the strongest response was, strikingly, in Oklahoma.
"Heidi, are you going to see the movie tomorrow?" a young man asked his girlfriend.
"Of course."
The blonde girl nodded: "My whole family works for Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and I will work for them in the future too. Even if 'Finding Nemo' is terrible, I'll still go to the theater to support it."
Hearing this, the boy immediately retorted: "Heidi, I've seen the trailer for 'Finding Nemo'; it's not bad at all, and I've even heard it's very good."
"You big dummy."
Heidi rolled her eyes and said, "I was just saying it casually, I didn't say it would definitely be bad. Why are you so excited? Hey, hey, don't be mad. At most, I'll treat you tomorrow, OK?"
Immediately, the boy broke into a smile.
There wasn't a trace of gloom left on the boy's face.
Heidi couldn't help but think to herself, "Boys are so easy to coax."
Meanwhile, many people in Oklahoma similar to this young couple planned to buy tickets tomorrow to see the animated film "Finding Nemo"... New York State.
7 PM.
Eminem, the chief male singer under Golden Dawn Music, was currently holding a small solo concert in a local concert hall in New York.
Well, to be precise, it was a fan meet-and-greet.
All 300 seats were filled!
At the same time, there were hundreds more fans outside the concert hall who felt regret for not getting tickets and could only linger outside.
"Eminem, I love you~"
"Go for it, you're the best!"
"Eminem, you're the best rapper~"
...Since his debut, not much time has passed, but thanks to the strong promotion of Golden Dawn Music plus his own hard work, Eminem has now become a hot A-list singer in the American entertainment industry, with extraordinary influence.
After finishing several songs in a row.
The atmosphere on site was very intense!
"Everyone, the next song I'm going to perform is from my new album and is also the theme song for the movie 'Finding Nemo'. I hope you'll like it," Eminem said loudly.
"We'll definitely like it!"
The fans at the scene showed no restraint at all.
Eminem added: "And here's a quick ad: 'Finding Nemo' will be released across America tomorrow. Interested friends can go to the theater to show some support."
Promoting "Finding Nemo"?
That's right, in just over 20 days, the 10 fan meet-and-greets Eminem held across the East and West of the United States would all assist "Finding Nemo".
Eminem's assistance alone made a significant contribution to the box office pre-sales of "Finding Nemo".
Use every available force!
This was the consistent promotional strategy. Of course, it definitely cost money, even if Eminem was a signed singer with Golden Dawn Music... Somewhere in Los Angeles.
In a bookstore, when a 16-year-old boy excitedly bought the second book of Harry Potter, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", he found an advertisement flyer as soon as he opened the packaging.
"Holy crap!"
"This is too shameless."
"I bought a book and it actually has a promotional flyer for 'Finding Nemo'."
The boy, Baron, facepalmed, feeling somewhat speechless.
He couldn't help but think of his experiences over the last few days... watching the prison break TV series, there were 'Finding Nemo' commercials;
going out to buy burgers and cola, he'd see large 'Finding Nemo' posters in the lobby as soon as he entered the store;
even when browsing the web, the pop-up ads would feature the cute clownfish Nemo;
subway stations, LED screens in the city center, community billboards, school bulletin boards... he could see Nemo the clownfish everywhere.
Now, even buying the book "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" had that familiar flavor.
"'Finding Nemo' is truly everywhere!" Baron's mouth twitched.
San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Pittsburgh... all major cities in the mainland United States were covered with overwhelming advertisements for "Finding Nemo".
Even in Canada and Mexico, many people had heard of "Finding Nemo".
