America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 364 362. Let's show our cards. Christmas Eve is destined to be uneasy

To be honest, the quality and reputation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are not as good as Prisoner of Azkaban.

After Eric acquired Warner Bros., Goblet of Fire had already been filmed, and the post-production was almost completely completed.

He didn't want to spend a lot of money on reshoots.

And compared to Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire is really attractive to children with its sunny pictures and the gimmick of the Triwizard Tournament.

Children, they just want to have a lively and happy time.

And Voldemort was successfully resurrected in this finale, which is also a big selling point for publicity.

This super villain who has laid the groundwork for 4 movies finally showed up.

At the premiere, Eric sat with Judy, and there were also many Harry Potter fans among his women.

The three Olsen sisters, Gadot, Xiao Liu and Daddario were all sitting in the back.

With the appearance of three magic schools, Harry Potter's worldview is expanded. It turns out that the magic world is not only about Hogwarts.

The ball begins, and Harry's first love Zhang Qiu appears, an Asian character, an Asian magician.

The casting is a bit bad in Eric's opinion, she is a bit old and not pretty enough.

Many parents who don't care about the plot are even more confused: "Isn't Harry Potter's girlfriend Hermione? Is this a love triangle?"

But then the fire-breathing dragon whizzing past on the big screen and the thrilling aerial chase drew the audience's attention back.

What's the point of playing love in the magic world? Isn't it good to play with dragons?

When it comes to the second level underwater, it finally has a bit of a thriller taste, which makes many children exclaim again and again.

When we arrived at the cemetery, Voldemort was resurrected and transformed, and the Gothic horror style became stronger.

Then Voldemort and Harry started to fight.

"Avada, eat the big melon!"

"Expelliarmus!"

Two rays, one blue and one red, collided in mid-air, triggering the flashback spell, and finally bringing Harry back to Hogwarts.

The news of Voldemort's return was also made public, laying the groundwork for the fifth sequel.

Although some scenes are a bit scary for children, the movie is generally light-hearted and bright.

After the screening, it naturally received warm applause.

The creators came on stage to thank them, and Eric also saw the real actors of Harry, Ron and Hermione gathered together for the first time. They were all scattered when they walked on the red carpet just now.

Miss Watson is now 15 years old and looks very petite in a loose magic robe.

But after taking off the magic robe and putting on makeup, the whole person is a lot more gorgeous, not like a 15-year-old girl, and some people believe that she is an adult.

"Christmas is coming soon, I plan to invite a few good friends to my house for dinner and gathering, what do you think?" Eric asked.

"Why are you asking us? You've decided who your friends are."

"Not only my friends, but also your friends. At least I hope you can become very good friends in the future."

Ashley frowned: "What do you want to say, Eric?"

Eric glanced at Judy, Xiao Liu and Daddario who were quietly looking at him, and made up his mind.

"Judy helped me a lot. You all know that without her, it would be difficult for me to get through that stage."

"But her relationship with her family is not very harmonious, so she doesn't plan to go back for Christmas. I don't want her to be too lonely."

In Ashley's eyes, Judy is still the lesbian.

She didn't think much about it, and nodded as a matter of course: "Okay, I like Judy's personality."

At this time, Elizabeth walked over quickly, took Ashley's hand and pulled: "Hurry up, hurry up, we have to take a photo with the main creators of Harry Potter."

The three Olsen sisters are die-hard fans of the magical world, and they immediately trotted away after hearing the words.

Eric blinked at Judy: "It's done, how about setting it on Christmas Eve?"

"I don't care."

"Me too."

"I'll listen to you, honey."

"Well, prepare the gifts, and make them generous."

"Don't worry, after all, we are latecomers and will take the initiative to show goodwill."

Time flies and another half a month has passed, and Christmas Eve is coming.

On the big screen, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has no rivals and is advancing all the way.

The previous month's schedule was given to the younger brothers, and they are not blind, so no one will come up to make trouble, not to mention that they can't beat them.

So far, "Goblet of Fire" has won $245 million in North America.

Based on the experience of the Harry Potter series, the box office outside North America is usually twice or even more than that in North America.

So the final forecast given by major analysis agencies is that the global box office is expected to reach between $930 million and $950 million, and whether it can break $1 billion depends on luck.

But it is generally optimistic that the movie can beat "Star Wars Episode 3".

In Beverly Hills, the Cooper family is preparing dinner.

Joshua also came back yesterday, bringing his two girlfriends with him.

After Charlie Cooper officially retired, he paid Joshua another $10 million to help him run a sports goods business.

This guy also realized that he would never be a main player in football, and his talent ceiling was just that.

So he accepted his fate and chose to semi-retire after his contract with the team expired last year, and started doing business with the help of his father.

It's been more than a year, and it's been pretty good. The brand has become famous in San Francisco.

In the kitchen, Eric rubbed back and forth on Emily Cooper like a puppy.

"My dear mother, the greatest mother, I haven't enjoyed your cooking for a long time. This tastes so good."

Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law burst out laughing.

The world's richest man is completely different from what they imagined.

Mom rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost! Don't expect me to help you again this time."

"You're crazy, brat! After six, there are four more. Is it over?"

"I find that as your wealth grows, your desires become more difficult to satisfy."

"Nico, Theron, Gadot, and even the three Olsen sisters, any one of them can drive a man crazy."

"You've got enough, I don't even know what to say to you."

"Anyway, you have to clean up this matter yourself, and you, Charlie, are not allowed to help him, do you hear?"

Dad nodded softly and gave Eric a helpless expression.

Eric walked out of the kitchen in a huff, and Joshua laughed strangely: "I told you that you can't do it."

"But there is one thing I've always been curious about. How do you deal with 10 women, 10 female stars with strong desires?"

"I mean, can your body bear it?"

"Do you have any special skills? Can you share them?"

Eric waved his hand in disdain: "Get lost!"

At this time, the sound of a car came from outside, and they came.
