作为一部进口电影，《疯狂动物城2》国内票房接近北美的两倍之多。 Box Office Mojo数据显示，截至目前，《疯狂动物城2》北美票房为2.28亿美元（约合人民币16.07亿），而灯塔专业版上的数据显示，这部影片的国内票 房已经来到32亿，预测总票房则超过38亿。 《疯狂动物城2》票房情况（图源：灯塔专业版） 这样的成绩在近些年的进口片中绝无仅有，即便当年的《复仇者联盟4:终局之战》国内票房也只是北美的七成。尽管映前业内对影片就已经持有较高的票 房预期，但它的表现仍超出这份预期太多。 究其原因，《疯狂动物城2》"精明地"从前作中提炼并放大了狐兔CP这一核心设定，将对CP的满足放在更高优先级，成功将九年积累的情感价值转化为巨 额票房。 《疯狂动物城2》剧照（图源：豆瓣） 同时，影片在产品设计上实现了极致大众化，成功覆盖了情侣、单身人群，以及家庭观众等多圈层需求，堪称今年最成功的全年龄产品、流行文化社交货 币。 但从更根本的内容创作来看，《疯狂动物城》首先是一个原创IP，生造原创角色和世界观，依赖的丰富的想象力与创造力。而国产电影在创作上常受现实 主义思维的影响，动画电影更有严重的子供向和神话传说改编路径依赖 ...

开播4天后，《唐朝诡事录3》（后文简称《唐诡3》）成为爱奇艺2025年度第五部破万剧。 向来严格的豆瓣网友，对《唐诡3》也青睐有加。11月8日，《唐诡3》台网双端开播，仅3天，豆瓣开分8.1分，并创下了系列最快开分纪录。从观众反馈 来看，第四案《诺皋记》口碑相当不错，豆瓣评分有进一步上升的可能。 遥想2022年，《唐朝诡事录》还是市场上的Nobody，包括主创人员在内的所有人都不确定这部剧投入市场后反馈如何，能否还有下一部。如今一晃三 年，无大IP加持、无大明星的《唐诡》系列俨然成为市场上品质IP的代表。 关于《唐诡》系列的分析已有太多，这次不妨把目光投向该系列的缔造者，内娱为数不多的"家庭作坊"——长信传媒，或者说郭家班。 从中老年到Z世代 一代人有一代人的审美偏好，而长信传媒最特别的地方在于，他们似乎总能打破世代之间的审美隔阂，通过不同类型作品，网罗不同年龄段的观众群体。 在长信传媒还叫做完美建信的时候，他们依靠抗战剧、传奇剧打下属于自己的一片天。 《大秧歌》《打狗棍》都属于那时期的作品，虽然集数超长，动辄七十来集，剧情进展也相当百转千回，但就是有牢牢锁死父母手中遥控器的魔力。社交 媒体上也常有人现身说法 ...
