Chapter 41: MFK why the hell I am paying you for?
Is Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution really that good? The previews have been getting rave reviews!
The first animated film by Game Changer has received explosive praise! Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution has garnered perfect scores from its preview screenings!
Is it the Pokémon IP effect or the film's own high quality? Let's analyze Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution starting from the trailer!
With praise pouring in from all sides, let's examine from ten different angles whether Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution is worth watching!
As Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution finishes its preview screenings, the film's incredible performance online has led critics everywhere to publish in-depth analyses.
Of course, due to copyright issues, they can only analyze the trailer and can't reveal specific details of the movie.
"Did Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution explode in preview screening results?"
Alex, upon learning this news, was once again dumbfounded.
From what's shown in the trailer, the film's first half is indeed quite good. However, the latter part clearly has a huge flaw.
Yet, it's still receiving explosive praise and rave reviews.
This can only mean one thing: Game Changer did a great job handling the final plot, perfectly covering the flaw shown in the trailer!
"They're succeeding even in making an animated movie?"
the project leader for Cute Pets Collection, was already at his wits' end.
Why is Game Changer so formidable in everything they do?
In gaming, the Pokémon series has set numerous records both domestically and internationally.
Take Pokémon Red/Green, for instance. Even Pokémon Pikachu, despite being released several months ago, remains at the top of the monthly download charts.
Over the past few months, many domestic game developers have released new games, trying to break into the top of the download charts. This includes many international developers launching new titles in the domestic market.
Unfortunately, no matter how many new games come out, Pokémon Pikachu remains unshakably at the top!
As for the second place on the monthly download charts?
Yes, it's Pokémon Green.
And third place?
You guessed it—Pokémon Red!
And this is just the PC monthly download chart. These three Pokémon games also have console versions.
The sales of physical game cartridges are also astonishing. After all, the number of people owning a GBA console has already surpassed ten million.
According to incomplete statistics from various digital agencies, the number of GBA handhelds might be approaching twenty million, with a strong trend of surpassing that mark!
It's foreseeable that with Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution's booming box office, if it can break out, the sales of Pokémon series games, including physical cartridges and GBA consoles, will further increase significantly!
Aside from gaming, Game Changer's ability to develop the Pokémon IP is top-notch.
The first season of Pokémon has already won multiple monthly awards for best serialized animation, and is likely to win the annual best animation award.
The only competition for this award is Pokémon: Orange Islands!
In other words, the annual best animation award is a battle among Game Changer's own works.
This award has long been set aside for them.
In manga, volumes 1-3 of Pokémon Special set records for both digital and physical manga sales.
In this era of highly developed internet, the fact that physical manga books can sell so well is hard to imagine for many industry insiders.
Then, the sales record for volumes 1-3 was broken by volumes 4-7 of the Pokémon Special manga.
In other words, whether it's animation or manga, at the end of this year, all awards and records are internal battles among Pokémon series works.
Other anime products have no chance of competing in this grand battle!
Now, Game Changer has developed another blockbuster movie. The trailer alone has generated a lot of buzz. One preview screening has led to explosive praise, and the rating is still a perfect 10, not even a 9.9.
Games, animation, manga, movies, and even merchandise.
From its spectacular debut to now, every step Game Changer has taken has been a perfect success.
They've never encountered a failure.
This is truly terrifying!
"By the way, did you manage to contact the core members of Game Changer Studio?"
Alex suddenly remembered: "How's that going?"
"What are their conditions?"
Given Game Changer's current success, Alex could imagine how outrageous the studio's core members might demand.
But no matter what conditions they propose, CA will agree unconditionally!
In fact, Alex wasn't afraid of outrageous demands; he feared the studio might not even give Penguin a chance to negotiate!
"Uh... Mr. Alex..."
The head of CAs HR department was a bit panicked: "We still haven't found the contact information for Game Changer's chief game designer..."
"Hmm, since this person is the studio's absolute core, confidentiality is indeed crucial. What about the animation team?"
"The... the animation team's contact information hasn't been found either..."
"That's understandable; after all, with the success of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, they need to maintain confidentiality."
Alex nodded. If CA had employees of this level, he would also ensure to prevent them from being poached: "What about the manga team?"
Compared to the major projects of games and animation, the manga team is often undervalued.
In today's world, manga indeed doesn't sell as well as games and animation.
"Uh..."
"We... we haven't found the manga team's contact information either..."
The HR head was sweating: "Game Changer's confidentiality is so tight, it's like they knew they would be successful and targeted for poaching!"
"Found nothing? What have you been doing?"
Alex was directly angry: "I'm paying you such high salaries not for you to just chat with me!"
Not being able to find the chief game designer was one thing. Not finding the chief animation team was another.
But not even finding the manga team's contact information?
What's the point of keeping such useless employees?
Wasting company resources!
