Chapter 746: The World's No. 1 IP
Jiang Xia was very wronged, quite wronged. 'Le' Wen ''lXs520'com
He was beaten more unjustly than Dou E.
obviously told the truth, but when he got to You Fangfei, it became a pastime.
After he was beaten, he suddenly figured out that this beating was not wronged, who let him not make his words clear.
After pronouncing seven "ha", he is not a person from the previous life, and the ghost knows what he is talking about.
In fact, Jiang Xia is reading those vast children's books, and he can't tell the difference between good and bad, and he has a headache for his daughter. He really wanted to write all Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales for his daughter, but he was helpless that he had never seen Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales in his previous life. He also wanted to write "Naughty Bag Horse Little Jump", but he had only seen one, and there was no need to write it.
As for foreign fairy tales, the more famous "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales", Jiang Xia didn't want to write them, he had read them, but he didn't want to write them. Because there are similar fairy tales in this world, the level is about the same, and it is well-known in the world, You Fangfei has already bought it for Jiang Chenxi, from children's books to teenagers' books, Jiang Xia was stunned.
In order not to increase the possible burden on his daughter, he still decided not to write those two fairy tale collections.
But Jiang Xia still has to bring out a children's book for her daughter to save Jiang Chenxi from fire and water.
He doesn't like to read, and he takes it for granted that his daughter doesn't like to read either, and he is not afraid of reading these days, but he is afraid that he will be forced to read if he doesn't like to read. What Jiang Xia wants to do is to let Jiang Chenxi read some good books even if he is forced to read by You Fangfei, at least at the level of a famous book.
Jiang Xia also knows a lot of children's books at the level of famous books, but he has not read much, and the only one that impresses him, or is the most well-known, is "hahahahaha".
"Hahahahaha" is a joke from netizens.
The old man Jin Yong wrote fourteen martial arts, and the first words are connected to "Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leans on the blue duck", which is very good and stylish.
Some netizens said, Rowling was a little embarrassed, her seven books are connected to "hahahahahahaha".
Each "Ha" represents a Harry Potter port.
Jiang Xia once thought about what kind of work can be regarded as a masterpiece? First of all, it must have the test of time, and then it must have a very high popularity, and it must be at least world-famous.
There are four great masterpieces in China, but these four masterpieces are always the four great masterpieces of China, not the world. Whatever the reason, it is true that it is not well-known enough in the world, even in the Internet age, it is not enough.
In the current world, there is only "Harry Potter" in Jiang Xia's view, which is well-known worldwide, and its influence is enduring and can be studied repeatedly.
It can even be said that it is the world's No. 1 IP in the previous life.
The reason why I say this makes sense, with the development of the film industry, movies are more and more fond of making series, and there are more and more movies in a series, such as the "Fast and Furious" series, Jiang Xia has come out to 7 before crossing, breaking a series of records in China, with a box office of 2.4 billion, if it weren't for the "Mermaid" later, a movie that can really surpass it at the box office, there is really no, the box office of "Monster Hunt", Jiang Xia disdains to count it.
In addition to the "Fast and Furious" series, Jiangxia has known series of movies, and the largest number of movies should be the "007" series, with more than 20 films. Mr. James Bond has been saving the planet for almost a century, and he continues to do so.
However, the total box office of the more than 20 "007" series is not as good as the eight "Harry Potter".
The eight "Harry Potter" films have a total global box office of 7.7 billion, with an average of nearly 1 billion per movie, and the counting unit is still US dollars.
Among the world series of movies, the number one total box office is "Harry Potter"!
Can such a series be the world's No. 1 IP?
What other works can compare to it?
Even the "Lord of the Rings" series can't be compared.
In Jiang Xia's opinion, if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is stronger, plus "Fast and Furious" is stronger, there should be hope to surpass "Harry Potter", but it will take many, many years.
The average box office of "Fast and Furious" is not too high, and the box office of a few films in the middle has declined, and it was not until the fifth part that the box office was pulled up.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" has always remained strong, if there is anyone who has the best hope of kicking "Harry Potter" off the championship, then Jiang Xia definitely supports "Pirates of the Caribbean", the average box office of each part is high enough, very close to "Harry Potter", and it continues to come out.
Even Jiang Xia thought that if "Harry Potter" did not have the bonus of the original book, it was not known whether he could spell "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Half of the success of the Harry Potter film series, Rowling's original book, is due to the film's director and screenwriter, as well as the production company Warner Bros.
The original book is good enough, has been translated into 73 languages, and has sold 450 million copies worldwide as of 2015, which is definitely a myth in today's era of e-book popularity.
The reason why the original book is so popular is because it is a film that can cover all ages, although it has always hung the words children's literature, but adults will read it with relish, can't extricate themselves, and are deeply attracted by the story and the world in it.
When Jiang Xia read the "Harry Potter" series, there were only six parts in this series, he was in high school at the time, and several movies were made, so he went to watch it. After reading the Chinese version, he also went to look through the original English version, although he couldn't understand it, but he still scanned it like a comparison, mainly looking at what everyone's name is, and some spells, as well as some place names or something, this kind of proper noun, he remembers it very clearly.
Looking at the English version of Fu at that time, Jiang Xia can now recall a whole series of "Harry Potter", both in Chinese and English.
The success of the work alone cannot create the myth of the $7.7 billion box office, and the adaptation and casting of the film is another major contributor to success.
Jiang Xia is the original party, he has always had a deep prejudice about changing literary works into film and television works, and always thinks that it is not good to change film and television works, because it is inevitable to adapt the original work, he hates this kind of adaptation, the original work is already wonderful enough, why should he adapt it?
But Jiang Xia later understood that a movie is a movie, yes, there are some things that can not be copied one-to-one by just talking.
may have something to do with the movie version of "Harry Potter" that Jiang Xia watched first, the "Harry Potter" series is one of the few that Jiang Xia doesn't hate the adaptation.
When the movie was in the first and second parts, it was very close to the original book, and the tones were all mild and warm, and they all had a bit of fairy tale color. After the director was changed in the third part, the tone began to turn cold, and there began to be something different from the original book, and after the fourth part, the changes became bigger and bigger, but it was also successful. Because in the fourth part of Voldemort's resurrection, Harry has to grow up to fight Voldemort, the fairy tale style in the first and second parts, not suitable for fighting, and the cold adult fantasy style is the right path.
The success or failure of the adaptation of literary works depends not on the angry cries of the original party, but on the reaction of the passers-by. The reaction of the passers-by is directly reflected in the box office, and their willingness to pay for the movie proves that the movie is a success.
The sudden change in style of the third part made many people uncomfortable, but the subsequent box office proved that this change was successful, and it can even be said that Caron, the director of the third part, saved the follow-up "Harry Potter" movie, which has the myth of 7.7 billion US dollars.
All over the world, the original party of "Harry Potter" and the film party are tearing each other apart, and the original party feels that the adaptation of the latter parts is simply destroying this great work, and the film party thinks that the adaptation is very good. The two groups of people quarreled endlessly, with no clue and no end. No matter how much they quarreled, both groups were big fans of the "Harry Potter" series.
Jiang Xia believes that the reason for the success of the film adaptation is very simple, it is the box office. He has always been a box office supremacy person, even if a bad movie has a box office, Jiang Xia wants to know why, why does someone go to watch such a bad movie? Later, he understood that when he went to watch a bad movie, he basically went to a certain star, except for that, there was nothing.
Excellent movies have their own excellent places, and they all need to be learned. Whether it's the special effects are done well, or the actors are cleverly chosen, or even the lighting and editing are good, you have to learn it.
Before the crossing, Jiang Xia regretted that he did not wait for the fifth part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and he was more satisfied that he saw the complete version of the eight "Harry Potter" and saw the final finale.
The excavation of the entire wizarding world is something that fans talk about, whether it is the owl or the Muggle world, there are many people who put forward various theories to study. The one that impressed Jiang Xia the most was that Zhai Wenzhe, a teacher from Tianjin University of Foreign Chinese who had only watched eight movies, once wrote a 100,000-word essay "Why Hermione Can't Marry Harry - History, Culture and Politics in Harry Potter" excavated a lot of hidden information, proving from the side that the success of "Harry Potter" is not accidental.
In fact, Jiang Xia saw that Hermione was actually on good terms with Ron, which was indeed beyond his expectations. Generally, the male protagonist in the movie is on good terms with the heroine, but this one does not, which surprised Jiang Xia.
Such a masterpiece is still children's literature, how could Jiang Xia not come up with it?
This one alone is enough for Jiang Chenxi to read from the age of six to the age of sixteen, and after the age of sixteen, he will make a movie and show her for more than ten years, and she can directly see the birth of her grandson.
Jiang Xia didn't have such a strong idea to write "hahahahahahahaha" before, but now he feels that he has to write it, and if he doesn't write it, You Fangfei will have to buy the whole family into a book.
