Chapter 1484: 1485【Harry Potter Movie】
Chapter 1484 1485【Harry Potter movie】
After "Hero" was released, the box office and word-of-mouth were severely polarized.
The box office is rising steadily, and the box office exceeded 50 million in the first week, which is comparable to the entire box office of "Big Watch". It shocked the film critics in the mainland.
But word of mouth is hard to describe. Many film critics commented that the story of "Hero" is really thin, it is all supported by big scenes and action scenes, and there are serious shortcomings in the literature and drama.
However, it is strange to say that the worse the word of mouth, the better the movie's box office. In the end, it won a box office of 250 million RMB in one fell swoop, accounting for one-sixth of the total box office of movies nationwide in 2002.
Such results can be said to be extremely terrifying, making all colleagues envy and hate.
The popularity of this movie has also greatly benefited several leading actors. The leading actors Hu Jun, Wu Yue, Duan Yihong, and Chen Hao all succeeded in gaining a firm foothold in the film industry with this film.
From now on, they can proudly declare themselves movie stars.
You know, there is an invisible gap between TV stars and movie stars. Movie stars have a slightly higher status than TV stars. In Xiangjiang, in Dongying, in South Korea, in Hollywood... it's all like this.
Only outdated movie stars consider going to the television industry. The popular TV stars are all proud of making movies.
Before, although Hu Jun, Wu Yue, Duan Yihong, Chen Hao and others were well-known, they all mainly made TV series. This "Hero" won the annual box office champion in one fell swoop, which helped them officially gain a foothold in the film industry.
…
"Hero" was a big hit at the box office, which put a lot of pressure on Feng Xiaogang.
Before that, the domestic film circles had been juxtaposing him with Zhang Yimou, thinking that they were both top domestic directors. But one is good at making commercial films, one is good at making literary films, one makes money, and the other wins awards, so they are evenly matched.
But in fact, Zhang Yimou has won many film awards and box office. Because his films can always win awards at international film festivals, and each award-winning film can be sold at a good price in the international film market.
It’s just that mainland audiences don’t understand this, they only see the box office in the mainland, so they always think that Zhang Yimou is a loser.
Especially in the past two years, he filmed "Speak Well", "Not One Less", and "My Father and Mother".
Feng Xiaogang is very grateful for the misunderstanding of the mainland audience. Otherwise, he, a director who has never won a major international award, would not be able to sit on the same level as Zhang Yimou.
But now, he really can't sit on an equal footing.
Zhang Yimou's "Hero" surpassed the box office of all his previous films. Moreover, those awards won by others were something that he would never get his hands on in his life, which made him collapse for a while.
…
"Master Cheng, help me, I also want to make a blockbuster movie." Feng Xiaogang approached Xiang Nandao.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you." Xiang Nan handed him a script.
Feng Xiao just took a look, and saw four large characters on the cover - "A World Without Thieves".
"This is..." He flipped through it curiously, then glanced at Xiang Nan, "Master Cheng, is this script really good?"
Zhang Yimou's "Heroes" has a big structure, talking about family, country, world, war and peace. This "A World Without Thieves" is about a few petty thieves. After death and sublimation, it is only about love and redemption, which is incomparable with Zhang Yimou's.
"If you don't want it, you can return it to me." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and said.
When Feng Xiaogang saw it, he quickly hugged the script, "Yes, I want, but I can't trust you. In this world, who else can I trust?"
"It's good that you know." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "You can rest assured, I won't cheat anyone if I cheat myself."
"That's true." Feng Xiaogang nodded, "That's fine, then I'll take this movie."
"Well, one more word, the protagonist should use his own people as much as possible." Xiang Nan reminded.
The original version of "A World Without Thieves" uses Andy Lau and Liu Ruoying, and even the four eyes are Lin Jiadong. Xiang Nan didn't like this. If you have a good role, you should stick to your own people.
These big directors don’t use their own people, so mainland artists never have the chance to get a job, and let a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists occupy the mainstream in the mainland. This is not a good phenomenon.
Feng Xiaogang nodded upon hearing this.
…
Subsequently, "A World Without Thieves" began casting, while Zhang Yimou was busy sending "Hero" to the Oscars.
"A World Without Thieves", male protagonist Wang Bo, Feng Xiaogang consider Huang Xiaoming to play, heroine Wang Li is played by Qin Hailu, supporting actress Ye Zi is played by Chen Hao, Uncle Li is played by Ge You...
After reading the list, Xiang Nan didn't make any adjustments and made a final decision.
Because Qin Hailu has acted in the "My Fair Princess" series, "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" series, "Silent Oath", "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind", "Daranfang" and so on, she is already a well-known actor in the mainland TV drama industry. First sister, it's time for her to take a step up and develop into the film industry.
Although Huang Xiaoxuan's acting skills are up and down, he is one of the most box-office appealing people in the Mainland Mesozoic world. "The Wind", "Chinese Partner", "Heroes of Fire" and so on are all good.
Xiang Nan believes that if he does not take a wrong path, carefully polishes his acting skills, ponders the characters carefully, and chooses the script carefully, he is actually very hopeful that he will become the best candidate for mainstream commercial films like Andy Lau.
…
In the summer of 2002, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was officially launched, which took Disney two years to create and cost a total of 130 million US dollars.
Fifteen years have passed since this novel was published in 1987. Many readers have changed from teenagers to middle-aged and young people, and even children are reading this novel.
Therefore, when it is officially put on the screen, for all Harry Potter fans, it is simply a wonderful moment when dreams come true. So when the movie was released, movie fans lined up overnight to buy tickets, it was hard to get a ticket, and it was extremely popular.
And Disney's production does live up to the expectations of the audience.
The first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was directed by Chris Columbus, who has directed "Little Goblins", "The Goblins", and "Home Alone". He is best at directing children's plays, so "Harry Potter" Liport and the Philosopher's Stone was shot by him with full of fun and wit, satisfying the appetite of all audiences.
Therefore, the audience who have watched it are very satisfied, and after word of mouth, the box office is naturally indispensable. In the end, North America alone achieved a box office of 310 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 970 million U.S. dollars, winning the global box office champion that year.
Disney made a lot of money, and Xiang Nan also made a fortune.
Especially his "Harry Potter" series of novels, which are a bit outdated. Now that the movie hits theaters, those novels immediately become popular again.
All major booksellers requested reprinting, which made Xiang Nando earn tens of millions in royalties.
