The Four Hundred and Twentieth Eight Chapters Continue to Be Popular
The popularity of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" quickly spawned a large number of "imitations" and "players".
This is not... today there are many teenagers wearing magic robes, wizard hats, and holding magic wands, gathering in groups on Trafalgar Square, one of the most famous surfaces in London, England.
Even, there is no shortage of people who imitate certain bridges in the movie.
The beginning of the video~
Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall appeared on Privet Drive, near the house of Harry Potter's Aunt Petunia, waiting for Hagrid to appear.
Professor McGonagall: "Do you think it's appropriate to leave such an important matter to Hagrid?"
Dumbledore: "I can trust him with my life, Professor."
Professor McGonagall thought it was inappropriate to entrust Harry to his terrible Muggle aunt and uncle, and was a little worried about it, but Dumbledore didn't think so.
"Wouldn't it be better for him to grow up away from fame and trouble? Until he accepts it," Dumbledore said.
When this scene in the movie was reproduced in Trafalgar Square in London, many people around couldn't help applauding. Well, even many older people who haven't seen the Harry Potter movies applaud.
"Great, lads."
"Of course, the girls performed very well too!"
"What a bunch of energetic young people~"
......
Seeing this, those "imitations" and "players" are getting more and more energetic!
......
Immediately, several more people performed another part of the movie.
[Harry is addicted to the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore admonished him. 】
"Again, Harry? I see, you, like many before you, discovered the wonders of Erised's sunglasses. I'm sure you already know what he does, let me give you a hint, world When the happiest people in the world look in the mirror, they only see themselves," Dumbledore said.
Harry: "Then it will reflect what we want, whatever it is?"
"Yes, and neither."
Dumbledore said earnestly: "It enables people to see the deepest and most urgent desires in their hearts, Harry, you have never seen your family, so you see your parents standing by your side, but... You have to remember. Harry, this mirror neither reflects knowledge nor conveys truth, and people spend their time in front of it, even go mad. I hope you don't look for it anymore, don't indulge in illusory dreams, and Forget real life."
Whether in the movie "Harry Potter" or in the novel "Harry Potter", Dumbledore has always been that outstanding, wise old man.
Fans of books, fans of movies, most of them are attracted to Dumbledore.
This is something that many parents would like to see.
For example: After the first round of battle with Voldemort, Harry found and guarded the Philosopher's Stone. Harry, who was resting in the school hospital, asked Dumbledore for his doubts.
"Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell can't stand you touching him?"
"Because of your mother, he sacrificed himself to save you, and such behavior left a mark."
"No~"
"This mark is invisible, it grows in every inch of your skin."
Dumbledore blurted out.
Harry: "What is that?"
Dumbledore: "Love, Harry, it's love!"
Correct and healthy values and social views greatly help the growth of small book fans and fans. You say, how can those parents not love Harry Potter?
These various phenomena and good news have further boosted the box office of "Harry Potter".
......
The fourth day of the film's release is Monday, a working day, but the "Harry Potter" movie still reaped 4.52 million pounds at the box office today.
This achievement,
Enough to put "Harry Potter" at the top of the British film market on Monday.
No. 2, only reported £1.3 million at the box office today.
In third place, the box office reported that day was less than 1 million pounds.
The British box office rankings on that day ranked from 2nd to 8th, and its total daily box office receipts were on par with "Harry Potter", which is evident from its strong performance.
Many of my colleagues are going crazy with jealousy.
"My God~"
Bailey, president of the UK's top RPC (Door Films) film company, was shocked: "With the further popularity of "Harry Potter", I can't imagine its final box office results, I can't say, it can become a British film Box office champion. Yes, I don't mean the 2000 box office champion, but the UK box office champion!"
In 1987, the film "The Last Emperor", which won 8 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director, was filmed and completed by Dao Film Company and Italian Janco Film Company.
The status of Dao Film Company in the UK is no less than that of the six major Hollywood companies, including Disney and Warner.
As a result, Bailey's words were wildly reprinted by many media.
After all, this Bailey is not the world king Bailey, but the British film tycoon Bailey.
The situation has progressed to this point, and everyone understands the fact that "Harry Potter" is unstoppable!
......
America.
Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
As the chairman of the board, Zhu Ke has always had a smile on his face in the past few days, and he can't stop being proud of himself!
No way, who made "Harry Potter" a big hit at the British box office? !
Before that, Bill and Zucker's decision to let "Harry Potter" premiere in the UK was a very risky decision.
If successful, it will greatly enhance the influence in the United States;
If it fails, it will undoubtedly greatly dampen the future box office potential of "Harry Potter";
"Where's the point of making big money without taking risks?"
Zucker clenched his fist: "The reality is that we succeeded. The winner wins everything!"
In fact, the reason why the movie "Harry Potter" was able to achieve the success of its premiere in the UK, in addition to the old Bill's command, Zucker himself is definitely a great contributor.
Since 1998, Zucker has definitely spent a lot of effort in promoting the "Harry Potter" books, and the financial resources, manpower, material resources, media influence, etc. spent during this period are simply countless.
A lot of hard work has paid off today!
In the history of the original time and space, Warner Bros. completed the production of the "Harry Potter" movie, costing 125 million US dollars, and the publicity cost was not less than 50 million US dollars.
However, look at how much Zucker spent?
Zucker's announcement fee for the "Harry Potter" movie is a full $100 million!
This is a real $100 million announcement fee!
Even the Big Six, with deep pockets, cannot easily decide on the $100 million announcement fee, after all, it is now 2000, not after 2010. Take a look at "Titanic", its publicity cost can only be worth over 100 million.
Not only that!
Zucker's emphasis on "Harry Potter" is by no means comparable to Warner in the original time and space!
In the original time and space, Warner was in a turbulent period of internal struggle at that time, where was there any extra energy to promote "Harry Potter"? It wasn't until Harry Potter grossed more than $900 million that Warner Bros. went to great lengths to promote it.
The "Harry Potter" movie is excellent, but the most important thing is to invest a lot of money in a wide range of publicity and promotion.
This, Zucker has done a lot.
Looking at the world, Zucker's strength and influence, including influence, are of course not as strong as Warner's, but... only in the United States and the United Kingdom, Zucker definitely dares to face any of the six major Hollywood companies.
"I definitely made a huge contribution to the success of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!" Zucker boasted.
Although there is suspicion of boasting, this is precisely the truth.
In the original time and space, when the "Harry Potter 1" movie was released, the total global sales of the "Harry Potter" series of books could only exceed 2 million copies;
And what about after Zucker's operation?
The cumulative global book sales exceeded 20 million copies, are you kidding me? !
" "The first more sent.
