Chapter 554 Waiting to be slapped in the face with the box office

It's just that the thought of Leila and her movie makes his heart calm. The main thing is that Leila's reputation is too great, and her record of never failing is too terrible. What made him most uncomfortable was that she deliberately set the screening date at the same time as him, apparently trying to use her film to snipe at herself. Does that mean she thinks she can beat herself?

With such speculation, he finally found an excuse and ran to the hall where Leila's movie was shown after the lights dimmed, wanting to see what kind of "children's" movie she had made, which made her confident that she could beat him in a superhero movie!

The movie begins with a child named Harry, who lives unhappily in a relative's house. However, the dawn of his life appears with the arrival of an owl, and he receives a letter from the Academy of Magic!

The more Joseph looked at it, the more ugly it became, and he realized that it was completely different from the children's movie he had imagined. He had read the script and knew that it was not a good book with a rich plot, and he didn't even feel that it was possible to succeed. But why did the same plot become what it is now after being filmed by Leila?

He looked at the magical shots and the magical background props, and didn't know what to think about to come up with them. If he shoots...... He wanted to say that he could shoot such a great picture, but unfortunately he couldn't fool himself.

"I want owls too!"

"Mom, buy me a flying broomstick. ”

"I'm going to the Academy of Magic!"

From time to time, the excited voices of children can be heard all around, and they are fully immersed in the movie, and even their parents are fascinated by the magical world depicted in the movie.

Everyone has a childlike heart in their hearts, the difference is only that some people hide it deeply, and some people keep it on the surface.

Hearing those childish words, Joseph knew that he was in trouble this time, and that he had encountered an opponent who might be difficult to deal with.

But at this time, he still didn't think he would lose, because he knew that this movie had a fatal flaw, that is, it was a "children's movie"!

Something for kids means it's unlikely to make much box office. It's impossible for parents to take their children to look at it over and over again, and it's impossible to take those expensive peripherals home. But "Catwoman" is different, it is aimed at adults, and it is a comic book fan with a lot of spending power. These people are crazy, not to mention those peripherals, even the limited edition that is several times more expensive will be snatched home with red eyes.

So from the perspective of consumption power, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is much worse than its own movie! With such a natural gain point, do you still have to worry about being defeated at the box office?

As long as the box office wins, it doesn't matter if some people spray their movies without connotation. Everyone can see who the victory belongs to by looking at the box office!

At that point, he will be able to step on his reputation as a genius and send himself to the top, and then he will be able to sit at home and have countless good scripts delivered to him, and the big film production companies will come to him one after another to seek his cooperation. With his own ability, pick a few good books, and I believe it won't be long before I can surpass Leila's status in Hollywood.

When the money is almost earned, he can devote himself to the production of art and art films, and with those awards, his name can be forever engraved in the history of films!

The more Joseph thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes coldly glanced at the big screen where Harry Potter was still playing, and turned around and left the screening room with a cold snort.

No matter how good the shot is, no matter how rich the imagination is, what about the box office!

Unbeknownst to Leila, Joseph was waiting to be slapped in the face at the box office, while she was comparing the movie shown on the big screen to the original in her memory.

Because she filmed two years late, the special effects production of the movie at this time has improved a lot compared to the original version, and some of the slightly blunt special effects shots in the original are no longer visible. At the same time, the shades she chose were slightly brighter than the original.

She had always felt that such a story about magic shouldn't make the whole film dark. She prefers to use some soft and bright colors to set off the liveliness of the children, and only when the plot needs it will she darken the chroma.

In this way, you won't feel too gloomy when watching, and it will make people feel much more comfortable watching.

At least she felt she had made the right choice when she saw the effect on the big screen.

"I want to get on my broomstick and chase that ball. Roy looked at the side of her face and couldn't help but whisper in her ear.

The warm breath hit her ears, making Lyra laugh. She squeezed his hand and leaned into his ear: "You have grown up, and the broom will be crushed by you." ”

"You're saying I'm fat?" Roy raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm saying you're more handsome. There is an ancient saying in the East that describes people who are beautiful, called 'sinking fish and falling geese'. It means that good-looking people will fall from the sky like fish and geese. Lyra fooled him in all seriousness.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated Roy's Chinese level, and perhaps he was not so clear about anything else, but he had studied this sentence. Originally, I wanted to learn some words to praise beautiful women to make my girlfriend happy, but I didn't expect to use it at this time.

"It turns out that this is what the sinking fish and geese mean, what about the shy flowers of the closed moon?" he said the latter idiom in very standard Chinese.

A wicked smile froze on Lyra's face, and then she moved her eyes to the front as if nothing had happened: "Watch a movie, please be quiet." ”

Roy clenched his hands into fists and coughed softly to hide the smile that almost broke out. It is rare to see her eat like this, it seems that learning Chinese is really right!

After the movie ended, the theater erupted in children's cheering and applause. Some of the film critics who sat in the audience did not hesitate to give positive appreciation.

In their words, "the film is like a wonderful dream, leading everyone back to the magical world of childhood fantasy." ”

In view of the popularity of the two films, NBC and several other media outlets have a very good eye to set up many reporters in front of the theaters where the two films are shown, and they will immediately gather around to interview the audience when the movies are over.

In front of the theater of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the main characters of their interviews are children: "Children, do you think today's movie is good?"

Mom and Dad have promised to take me to see them again if I help them wash the dishes this week!"

This is a child who has been seduced, and the fairy tale has caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

The reporter wasted no time in interviewing his parents: "Do you think this movie is good?"
