Chapter 802: The Best Lover

For the "Harry Potter" series, Matthew doesn't have much feeling, but Hermione Granger as an adult has more of a taste for him, and from his personal point of view, this "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" belongs to a relatively bland one.

Probably David Yates, the director who has just changed, hasn't found his senses yet.

David had previously intended Guillermo del Toro to direct the series, but the Mexican director chose to complete his Hellboy series anyway.

The "Harry Potter" series filmed this one, and the whole story has entered the final stage.

The most important point is that even Matthew dared to openly get involved with Emma Watson, which illustrates a very important problem.

The film and the audience have to face the fact that the characters and actors have grown up.

As several young actors in "Harry Potter" grew up, the film added emotional scenes, and even Ron, Harry, and Hermione gave their first kisses on the screen, and the emotional scenes occupied a lot of time in the film, but failed to resonate with the audience.

I'm afraid that many viewers saw Hermione Granger choose Ron Weasley, and 10,000 alpacas flashed in their hearts in an instant.

How could Hermione Granger choose the dwarf and poor Ron Weasley? Her most suitable partner for dating is obviously the rich and handsome Voldemort!

Maybe the studios of the San Fernando Valley could invest in a story that Voldemort and Hermione Granger had to tell?

Matthew had to make a decision, in order to fulfill the wishes of the fans, to be in the manor tonight, and let Hermione Granger succumb to Voldemort's heroism!

He barely became Voldemort.

Since the success of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Warner Bros. has always regarded the series as its own fist brand, and has invested more than one another.

The Harry Potter series has always maintained a high level of visual effects and a very mysterious and magical color picture, never disappointing in terms of cinematography, lighting and special effects, and each film has improved again in terms of technology, this time is no exception, the visual effects of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" are dominated by dark colors, giving the audience a very cold feeling.

To a certain extent, both the plot of the story and the style of the film are showing an obvious trend of adulthood.

The protagonists have grown up and cannot live forever in their innocent and cute childhood.

Admit it or not, even in the sunny Joanna Rowling's writings, the adult world is still heavily dark.

Probably the adult world is like this, just like "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which is gradually full of intrigue and deceit.

Frankly, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is no longer a pure children's movie.

The gray and cold tones of the main body feel that they are no longer suitable for children, the relationship between the characters has become complicated, and the audience has to face the fact that a group of leading children have grown up.

Matthew still remembers Emma Watson saying that the "Harry Potter" series is coming to an end, and they have to find another way out, and Daniel Radcliffe appeared naked in a drama last year, I don't know if it is his coming-of-age ceremony.

In this difficult road of transformation, few of the young actors of the Harry Potter series will succeed.

Even Emma Watson, who is known to have the widest road, will face a lot of difficulties in the future.

Just like Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., the real-life self is almost completely equated with the characters in the fiction.

"Even though I have the title of ambassador for UNICEF, I am also the face of Chanel. ”

Emma Watson was very sober about the situation, and after the premiere, she returned to the car at Horner Manor and said to Matthew, "It's also very difficult for me to make a successful transition. ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "If you're interested, you can play a few roles in my film." ”

Emma Watson turned her head to look at Matthew and thought through a lot of questions in an instant, no wonder the actresses and models who had a brief relationship with him praised him, and in addition to the physical and mental pleasure of each other, he would also help in his career......

This really is the best lover.

"But......" Matthew said deliberately, "the pay won't be very high." ”

Emma Watson curled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "In the future, I will definitely look for you if I can't go any other way." ”

Matthew nodded, "Let me think about what role you're suitable for." He thought for a few seconds and said, "A strong woman with great skills and an independent personality, in a post-apocalyptic environment, there are a few bastards who want to blow you up, and you wield a fire axe and cut off all their heads. ”

Hearing this, Emma Watson pointed to her nose and asked, "Are you sure this is right for me?"

Matthew laughed, "Just kidding." He touched Emma Watson's head, "You're still safe to be Hermione Granger tonight, I'm going to be Voldemort." ”

Emma Watson wondered, "You're going to play Lord Voldemort?"

Matthew shook his head and whispered a few words in her ear, the corners of Emma Watson's mouth curled up more and more, and finally muttered, "You have a lot of tricks." ”

Although the two got along very happily together, the day after the premiere, Emma Watson left North America and went to East Asia and other regions to continue to run promotional announcements for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was released on a large scale, although the audience reputation of this film is not very good, and the average audience in the Cinema Score theater is only "B", but the series has accumulated a large number of fans, and perhaps the subsequent box office trend of the film will be a little problematic, but it will not be treated coldly in the first week.

Besides, everyone realizes that the series is about to end, and in terms of Warner Bros. publicity, it is really one less to watch.

Without any suspense, three days after just three days of the weekend, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" easily squeezed out "Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra" and grabbed the top spot at the North American box office charts, with a box office figure of $77.8 million.

"Special Forces" slipped to second place, and on the back of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the box office fell by more than 60 percent over the weekend, closing $18.2 million this weekend.

The film grossed $212.8 million at the North American box office, and the final destination will definitely be above $250 million, but it will be difficult to break the $300 million mark.

The next schedule has both advantages and disadvantages for "Special Forces", after "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", until August, there were no top commercial productions released in the North American market, and there were no more competitors like "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" that had a huge impact on the market.

On the downside, the summer file has reached the final stage from May to now, and the enthusiasm, energy and financial resources of fans have almost been consumed, and it is difficult to say how much enthusiasm will be maintained for a pure popcorn film like "Special Forces" in the future.

But there is no doubt about the success of "Special Forces".

Even if the North American box office certainly can't recoup its costs, perhaps the global box office won't be able to achieve large-scale profitability.

The cost of this project is here, just as the production cost of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was announced to be as high as $250 million, and it is unrealistic to rely on the box office alone to make a profit.

A Hollywood film that is a big box office hit often earns less than 40 percent of its total revenue.

More of the income comes from the surrounding area.

Of course, the premise of these is that the box office is a big hit, and if the box office is too poor, the surrounding copyright will not sell at a high price.

"Special Forces: Cobra Rise" is still being screened, and Paramount Pictures is still talking about TV rights, network broadcasts, and disc licensing, and it is impossible to determine how much revenue will be made until the negotiations are over.

But there is a peripheral income, which is staggeringly high.

Based on Matthew, Hasbro recreated various Duke products, such as dolls, dolls, and toys, and even the image of the comics has been changed to a certain extent.

According to the latest statistics, more than 10 million pieces of the new Duke's dolls, dolls, toys and other peripheral products were sold in just three weeks after the release of "Special Forces", and the sales in North America alone reached more than 115 million US dollars!

You know, these are just some of the many merchandise.

Hasbro's turnover skyrocketed in the third quarter, and even the stock price soared.

Matthew is also a beneficiary, and under his model licensing agreement with Hasbro, he is entitled to a 20% share of the gross revenue of all Hasbro products that use his image rights.

In addition, he also has the right to dividends in different proportions of other peripheral products.

At present, the North American box office of "Special Forces" has exceeded 200 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars.

Matthew didn't think it was much, even now, he remembered a news article about "Gravity" he once watched, and the reason why he remembered it so clearly was the staggering actor income figures.

According to the report, the heroine of "Gravity" earned a total of $75 million through the film's remuneration and various shares.

That's a woman!

In Hollywood, there is a huge imbalance between men and women in the same class.

For example, Julia Roberts, who was recognized as the first sister of Hollywood at the beginning of the century, has a lesser income than Tom Cruise at the same time.

Helen Herman made the most conservative estimate, "Special Forces" still has a lot of peripheral licenses under negotiation, as long as the selling price is medium to high, it is not impossible for Matthew, the leading actor who can take a cut, to achieve a total income of more than 100 million through this film.

At the same time, he invested in starring "Fast and Furious 4" is still being screened, starting with the release of "Special Forces", the film has squeezed into the top five of the North American box office for three consecutive weeks, and the current North American box office has accumulated 343.8 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded the 750 million US dollar mark.

These are the capital of Matthew.
