“Top Gun: Maverick” in ScreenX features 58 minutes of exclusive ScreenX imagery – the most ScreenX content ever to be produced for a ScreenX feature film. The format’s peripheral 3-screen design allows audiences to take in majestic views, feel the rush of flying and puts them right in the middle of the climatic jet fighting scenes with Maverick and his crew.

Some additional box office highlights for the 4DX format:

  • In the U.S. “Top Gun: Maverick” has brought in $4.3 million across 50 screens with a per screen average of $85,910

  • In Japan, “Top Gun: Maverick” has earned over $2.5million across 63 screens on pace to become Hollywood film during the pandemic
  • In China Taiwan, on only 5 4DX screens, “Top Gun: Maverick” brought in an astounding $700,000
  • Overall 4DX is outpacing the market as the industry recovers from the pandemic especially in the US and UK

“Top Gun: Maverick” in 4DX puts you directly into the cockpit, as you feel every twist and turn in a multi-sensory cinema-going experience. 4DX utilizes motion, vibration, water, wind, snow, lightning, scents, and other special effects that enhance the visuals on-screen. Each auditorium incorporates motion-based seating synchronized with more than 21 different effects.

CJ 4DPLEX worked closely with director Joe Kosinski and Paramount Pictures on selecting the most immersive scenes for ScreenX and carefully crafted the motion and effects for 4DX to ensure the highest quality presentation of the film.

“The increase in audiences and our record-breaking box office results reinforces the strong word-of mouth around the film for both of our formats, many of whom are returning to see the movie in a completely unique presentation.” Jongryul Kim, CEO, CJ 4DPLEX. “We hope that movie fans who have discovered ScreenX and 4DX for the first time will experience other great films that can’t be seen anywhere else.”

Wolfoo – Vietnamese animation taking the world by storm

Leave a comment

Rich in humanistic values, Wolfoo has won over the hearts of millions of people across the globe.

NEW YORK, March 12, 2022 — An animated web series popular with kids worldwide, Wolfoo enjoys wide appeal that stems from the humanistic values deftly woven into stories about fun everyday situations. The series has been twice awarded the Youtube Diamond button, with more than 2 billion monthly views and counting. Yet it is a little-known fact that Wolfoo is indeed the pride of Vietnamese people.

Wolfoo is a collection of animated characters in the WOA ecosystem owned by SCONNECT, a Vietnam-headquartered company specialized in creative content.

Originally produced in English, Wolfoo has been dubbed into many other languages, such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, etc. To expand its market, the producer has registered images of Wolfoo characters as trademarks in the United States and Vietnam. In addition, in Vietnam, the producer has also copyrighted the scripts of the Wolfoo animated web series and secured protection for the Wolfoo brand.

Wolfoo is steadily asserting itself as the animation brand taking the lead in holistic integration of entertainment and education through a rich ecosystem of products familiar and attractive to children across the world. Spanning a diverse range of topics, each episode raises children’s awareness about proper behaviors, helps them form healthy habits, and equips them with essential life skills. Wolfoo also fosters the development of personality traits and skills for children, namely courage, gratitude, compassion, empathy, humility, integrity, persistence, creativity, curiosity, teamwork, emotional self-control, and communication.

The secret to success

Speaking about his choice to target the international market rather than the domestic one, Ta Manh Hoang, CEO of SCONNECT which owns the ecosystem of creative products under the WOA brand said, "We believe in the principle that sometimes choice matters more than effort. It is important to choose the right direction from the start, no matter how difficult it may be, because you will attain greater and more enduring gains upon success. Breaking into a market of high standards will push us to harness all possible resources for development. It is akin to tackling a hard math problem, requiring perseverance that will be rewarded many times over once solved. After capturing international market share, our return to the domestic market and future growth will be smooth sailing."

"Every WOA product has clearly-defined core values. After determining the core values of a product, WOA comes up with a coherent action plan and commits itself to delivering these values through said product and service. Thus, we ensure sustainability and distinctiveness in doing business," Ta Manh Hoang asserted.

Ta Manh Hoang assessed that the digital environment, harsh as it is, also opens up numerous learning and capacity-building opportunities for Vietnamese production teams. "Youtube is an open space, with very specific rules. Not only does Youtube help creators develop content but also guide them on how to do business and fairly split profits. We have learnt a lot from Google, particularly Youtube. Through our steady development on this platform, we have matured a great deal. I have every confidence in our Vietnamese staff; they are young, proactive, quick learners, and multi-taskers. Every person on our team enjoys a clear path of skill and career development. And that is how we can walk far," Ta Manh Hoang remarked.

WOA constantly conducts research and development, and expands its portfolio to meet the demands of customers. Take Wolfoo for example. In addition to short episodic content, the production team is also working on serial content for the Wolfoo Series, with massive investment in film technology so as to offer a product of superior quality. While the short episodes of Wolfoo revolve around daily happenings, Wolfoo Series takes the audience on exciting long-running adventures in the worlds of magic, toys, etc.

As the audience’s trust and support is an invaluable asset, WOA endeavors to always deliver tangible values and best satisfy the audience through the expansion of the Wolfoo ecosystem. In 2022, WOA expects to launch the online game Wolfoo and the 2000-square meter Wolfoo City edutainment center, complete with the Wolfoo cast of characters.

 As a commercial brand of SCONNECT CO., LTD, WOA commits to foster connections for values across the world. Being a producer of creative products, WOA is taking the lead in fast delivery of service and a strong portfolio geared towards global connectivity and development.

China Matters produced the animated video series ‘The 24 Solar Terms in Poetry and Painting’

Leave a comment

BEIJING, March 11, 2022 — China Matters animation team produced the animated video series The 24 Solar Terms in Poetry and Painting, which illustrates the Chinese solar terms through dynamic Chinese paintings and classical poems translated by Dr. Xu Yuanchong. The five solar terms included in this episode are Minor Cold, Major Cold, Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, and Awakening of Insects, which combine to form a scroll of revival as winter turns to spring.

jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”
 

jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-3fOlbJz1k’, image: ‘http://www.prnasia.com/video_capture/3689299_AE89299_1.jpg’, autostart:’false’, aspectratio: ’16:9′, stretching : ‘fill’, width: ‘600’, height: ‘338’});

The Chinese solar terms embody Chinese people’s traditional recognition of natural rhythms, astronomical calendar, folk customs and farming. On November 30, 2016, China’s 24 Solar Terms were officially included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the creative "24 Solar Terms countdown" drew worldwide attention.

Minor Cold and Major Cold mark the end of a year. Paintings Snow on Mount Emei and Thatched Gate Covered by Snow are used to interpret the two solar terms. In these two paintings, against the majestic mountains covered by snow, pedestrians brave the heavy snow, domestic dogs wag their heads and tails, and donkeys waddle forward, adding great vitality to the snow-capped mountains.

To illustrate Beginning of Spring, Rain Water and Awakening of Insects, which mark the beginning of a new year, three paintings are selected: Fair Lady Exploring Plum Blossoms, Spring in the Mountains and Lakes, and A Thatched House in the Bamboo Forest. They together form a scroll of early spring: In the Beginning of Spring, girls get outside to enjoy plum blossoms. In the Rain Water, travelers take a boat and drift on a turquoise river. In the Awakening of Insects, crickets singing can be heard at night. Frame after frame, the animation depicts bamboo shoots coming out of the soil, insects stretching and jumping, and so on—everything is reviving to embrace spring.

All these paintings and poems embody the Chinese people’s graceful taste and rich emotions.
