Dragon Country's film and animation industries had never lacked dark-horse hits! Movies made on budgets of just tens of millions earning billions at the box office, late-stage comebacks, and all kinds of surges in popularity!
But without exception, such cases were one-offs. The companies behind these dark-horse works usually succeeded because of some chance factor, and after that, their subsequent releases generally faded into obscurity.
But in Dragon Country's animation industry, there were two companies—no, two people—who were different!
The works Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu created almost always followed this dark-horse trajectory after airing. That was terrifying!
It was like the film industry in the Parallel World. People could accept a box-office hit like Wolf Warrior 2, The Wandering Earth, Nezha, or Li Huanying appearing every year or two. But imagine if all those movies had been produced by the same screenwriter, director, and company—and every single one became a massive hit. What would that look like?
That was exactly how the animation industry had felt about GT Animation Studio over the past two years, and about Chu Yu before he was banned three years ago! Every year, the industry's most profitable works were created by these two, one after another, leaving their competitors no chance at all. That was how Chu Yu had amassed such an enormous fortune in just seven years!
If Chu Yu took things one step further, he'd practically become a monopolistic tycoon in the animation industry! If your work was in a league of its own in both popularity and quality, it was basically like running a money-printing machine! Just like when the iPhone first came out in the Parallel World, and Apple Inc. took eighty or ninety percent of the profits in the global smartphone market!
The same was true in Dragon Country's
