Chapter 580 "Harry Potter" Follow-up Plan
After six months of screening, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has basically reached the end of its screening.
North America dropped the third weekend in April, with a total box office of 353 million US dollars, but it still failed to shake the status of "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" as the North American box office champion last year. .
In terms of global box office, it also reached 1.084 billion U.S. dollars. It successfully defeated "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" with a global box office of 850 million U.S. dollars, becoming last year's global box office champion.
More importantly, the peripheral products have once again been a hit, with a total of more than 546 million US dollars in peripheral sales since its release.
This does not include income from DVD sales, TV broadcast copyrights, Internet copyrights, etc.
The box office has to be shared with local distributors and theaters, but apart from the necessary costs, it is basically pure profit. And this is a continuous, long-term income, a very stable meal ticket.
Financial media regard the "Harry Potter" series as a business myth, analyze various reasons for its success, and finally attribute it all to the fact that the film has an excellent producer.
This casts a layer of success on little Gilbert, as if any movie related to him will be a hit as long as it is positive.
Countless examples in the past have proven this.
After the success of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", plans for a sequel were also put on the agenda, this one called "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
After the appearance of Voldemort in the last film, Voldemort will demonstrate his abilities in this film and start a battle with Albus Dumbledore to explain why he is the ultimate villain.
Christopher Lee, who plays Dumbledore, is eighty-four years old. It is not easy for him to be active in the front line of acting at such an old age.
Little Gilbert visited him and found that Christopher Lee was in good health and could continue to play Dumbledore.
In addition, the Big Three of Gryffindor continue to return. Generally speaking, as long as there are no too exaggerated requirements, after becoming the lead actor in a series, the producer will not change actors easily.
In addition, Zhang Qiu, who appeared in the last movie, will of course still have a role in this one, which means that the fairy sister will also appear in this movie.
Because of the global sales of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", the fairy sister finally no longer needs to be jealous of Shu Chang. Although she is not the starring role, the film has exceeded one billion dollars worldwide, which is enough for the media to brag about it for a while.
But Shu Chang doesn’t have to worry. Although the global box office of "Spellbound 3" was only US$623 million, the combined box office of the three films reached US$1.848 billion.
And she is the starring role. Ichiban's status is second only to Cheng Long and more than the supporting role of the fairy sister.
So in the competition for the strongest post-1985 actor, Shu Chang is probably the winner without a doubt.
As for Little Gilbert's "favorite" power, when Sister Shenxian played the role of Xiao Longnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she was playing Guo Xiang.
The fairy sister has already made a career in the world, and she has not even been able to get a supporting role in a movie.
But the future is still long, and the winner is the one who laughs in the end. It’s hard to say who is the strongest post-1985 actress.
The new important character Luna was added to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Little Gilbert was familiar with the Luna in his previous life. At that time, he thought that Harry Potter and Luna were actually the same person. right.
Later he found out that it was not the case, which disappointed him for a while.
However, producer Robin Grand decided to hold an audition. Little Gilbert didn't know the name of the actor who played Luna in his previous life, so he agreed to Robin Grand's plan.
The director of the previous film, Mike Newey, decided not to serve as the director of the series, so the director of this film was replaced by another British director, David Yates.
This is a novice director. He has not shot many films before, mainly short films and dramas.
Little Gilbert remembers that David Yates seems to have been the director of the "Harry Potter" series and the prequel "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series, with pretty good results. However, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will have to wait for a year. It will be more appropriate to wait until fans have forgotten the previous work a little and have increased expectations for the new work.
After finishing his work on "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Gilbert Jr. held several more meetings with the top management of Marvel Studios.
At the meeting, Gilbert Jr. made it clear: “The box office potential of superhero movies is no less than that of Harry Potter, and may even be stronger than that of Harry Potter.
I hope that our superhero movies can look very refreshing on the big screen, and have a sense of justice, a sense of mission and a series of beautiful qualities. "
Kevin Feige said: " After "Iron Man", we have planned to shoot a series of works such as "Thor", "Captain America", "The Incredible Hulk" and so on."
"The script of "The Incredible Hulk" needs an overhaul, and Universal Pictures has done so. What do you say?" Little Gilbert asked.
Kevin Feige replied: "They agreed that "The Hulk" will return to Marvel, but the "Hulk" solo movie will have to work with them."
"These greedy vampires." Little Gilbert He complained, and then said: "Communicate with them, and Edward Norton is not a suitable candidate. Replace him."
"Okay, what about Liv Tyler?"
"Keep it , the core is the actor who plays the Hulk, Edward Norton looks like a neurotic, not like Bruce Banner.
By the way, send an invitation to Mark Ruffalo and ask him to play Bruce Banner. audition.”
Gilbert Jr. didn't directly cast Mark Ruffalo, although his performance as the Hulk was impressive. But at this time, Mark Ruffalo was still playing a supporting role in the movie, or a second- and third-tier actor in the music video.
If he didn’t pass the audition, others would have thought that Mark Ruffalo and Little Gilbert had some inappropriate relationship!
As for Liv Tyler, this woman has been pestering little Gilbert a lot recently. She wants to find other roles outside of the "Fast and Furious" series.
So little Gilbert conveniently stuffed her into "The Incredible Hulk", and this version was renamed "The Incredible Hulk".
This time, no one needs to doubt that the relationship between the two is inappropriate, because the relationship between the two is really inappropriate.
Liv Tyler recently introduced girls to little Gilbert in a big way, but was severely stopped by little Gilbert. He's not a stud, why would he need so many girls?
Since little Gilbert doesn't like the new girl, Liv Tyler pesters little Gilbert. She heard that several sisters in the Melon Manor had children, so naturally she wanted to contribute one.
But the good news didn’t come out for her, but good news came out about Jennifer Connelly.
By Little Gilbert's generation, the situation of the Landrini family's thin population has improved, and Jennifer Connelly is already pregnant with her sixth child.
Obviously, once these six and future children bloom again, the Landrini family will grow stronger immediately.
The core of a family is its people. Even in the 21st century, grouping based on region and family is still very popular in Europe and the United States.
The more people a family has, the more likely it is to produce talented people, and the family can prosper for a long time.
In the end, the Landrini family will become as influential in the Western world as the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.
Of course, having more children is troublesome.
The housekeeper’s Kyoko, Masae and Lily are the main ones taking care of the children. There are so many little ancestors, but the three of them are exhausted.
