The global success of the Potter series is mainly due to the loyal fan base that has always been unwavering, as a film that has been filmed for the sixth time, unless there are special circumstances, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough at the box office, which also means that according to the normal situation, "Harry.

""Guinea Pig Agent" is aimed at a family-friendly audience. Our "The Hangover" is aimed at adult audiences, and the two are not long-distance. In short, do your own publicity. Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.

is also like "Transformers 2", the day after the first day, "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince inevitably declined at the box office, but it still earned $21.8 million.
When the time came to Friday, the weekend movie-watching craze was detonated again, and Lin Yuquan was filming "Twelve Treasures" at this time, but his attention had returned to "The Voice of China".
It was nine o'clock Kyoto time, the same time, the same channel, the same place, but with more viewers sitting in front of the TV.
After the familiar music sounded, Hua Shao crackled and challenged the limit of speech speed, and the second issue of "The Voice of China" officially began.
"It's the moon, it's the moon, it's not the frost on the ground, the petals on the ground, it's over after reading it, there's no need to think about it, what autumn water, how to look through, what lights, how to be beautiful"
With the singing of Zhang Huimei's "Straight to the Point", the tutors and the audience all enjoyed the beautiful rhythm of the music.
"What scenery, just look at it, why bend around" When I sang here for the second time, the penetrating treble suddenly exploded, Zheng Jun, Yu Chengqing, and Na Ying pressed the button one after another, and turned to look at Shen Jiali on the stage.
"If you light the light, it will be on, if you turn off the light, it will be dark, who lives, impatient, where does it come from, where does it come from, gather and scatter, who once said, alone without relying on the railing, the stupid person opens the door, and sees the mountain, I see the mountain, it is the mountain, it is, it is very simple, don't trouble yourself, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, who said, the liver and sausage will be broken, bastard"
Under the high pitch of the layers of advancement, Liu Huan couldn't help pressing the button anymore, and stood up and applauded Shen Jiali like Zheng Jun and the others.
At the same time, not only was the atmosphere in the recording studio on the TV set warm, but countless viewers in front of the TV were staring at the TV screen with their eyes firmly on it, marveling at Shen Jiali's terrifying high voice.
"Open the door and see the mountain, I see the mountain, it is the mountain, hey"
As Shen Jiali ended singing with a beautiful high note, Lin Yuquan applauded unhurriedly, with a satisfied look in his eyes, and it was a wonderful opening.
And this is obviously just the beginning, with the appearance of one contestant after another, with the moving singing again and again, the audience is all immersed in the show, except for the damn commercial, which will pop up every time the tension of choosing a mentor.
Minutes and seconds passed, and it was time for the last player to play.
"My name is Su Xia, 21 years old this year, from Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, because of my big teeth, others call me Su Daya." An ordinary-looking and plainly dressed girl shows her distinctive little buckteeth.
"Why didn't anyone accompany you to the race?" Hua Shao interviewed.
"I came with my mom and dad, they have passed away, but in my heart, they have always been by my side, and this position can only belong to them." Su Xia smiled.
"I am an orphan, in a car accident ten years ago, my parents tried their best to protect me, but I left this world and came to the stage of "The Voice of China", in addition to pursuing my music dream, I also hope to let my parents know that I have been working hard, I will live well, and they don't have to worry about me."
Under the gaze of the audience in front of the TV, Su Xia walked onto the stage, nodded to the music team, and the melodious and melodious music melody sounded.
"It was an autumn, the wind was so lingering, it reminded me of them, those helpless eyes, in that place of beautiful scenery, I heard a loud bang that shook the valley"
Han Hong's "It's Dawn", as soon as Su Xia's singing voice came out, the audience in front of the TV was all dazzled, and the sound was so catchy, so good.
"I saw my parents just go away, leaving me in this strange world, I don't know what risks there will be in the future, I want to hold his hand tightly, my mother told me that there will be hope, I see the sun come out, it's dawn"
As the singing continued, Liu Huan seemed to have tears in his eyes, and in front of the TV, the eyes of countless viewers became moist.
"I saw in my dream, my mother, a person in the world must learn to be strong, you don't leave, don't hurt, I saw my father and mother just go away, leaving me in this strange world, I would like to build a beautiful garden for him, I want to hold his hand tightly, my mother told me that there will be hope"
The increasingly moving singing echoed through the TV speakers in the living room, and too many viewers were already full of tears, allowing tears to run down their cheeks.
"Pap" Liu Huan pressed the button, "Pap" "Pap" "Pap", Na Ying, Zheng Jun, and Yu Chengqing all pressed the button, and the eyes of the four of them flashed with tears like ordinary audiences.
"I wanted to hold his hand tightly, and my mother told me that there would be hope, and to see the sun come out and dawn"
With the end of the singing, Lin Yuquan let out a long breath, his eyes were bright and firm, before that, he had only one idea for "The Voice of China", that is, to create a top music feast that belongs to the Chinese, but now he finds that compared with the so-called music feast, it is more meaningful to dig out those buried good voices that can move people's hearts, or to provide a stage that can make people realize their musical dreams, which is the biggest charm of "The Voice of China", and it is what he should do the most.
