The new version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is still quite different from the original version on Earth.

The reason, of course, is because Sun Peng did not participate in the production of the script.

Including the Chinese version of "Han Bo and Lingshi", Sun Peng did not interfere, but let the screenwriters of the filmmaker play freely. He believes that only in this way can he create two completely different films, rather than an industrial assembly line product with a completely mold - at least if Sun Peng is the screenwriter, he does not have that confidence.

And the just-released "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" also proves this.

"Compared to the original book, the adaptation of the movie is very large!"

On Yiye Zhiqiu's Weibo short movie review, the old white blow seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "Although the movie is very exciting, and the main plot does not have much action, it is difficult to meet the desire of fans of the original book to copy everything completely......"

But another big V obviously disagreed with Yiye Zhiqiu's opinion, and Xiao Worm excitedly made his own comments: "What I have been worried about has not happened, and compared with it, the movie obviously has more novelties and more interesting small details, and the American adaptation is quite successful!" ”

……

Both for and against this adaptation, but there is no doubt that many critics gave an average high score of 8.3!

For a purely commercial film, such a score is quite attractive.

Of course, in this era of national social networking, the influence of film critics' words has taken a back seat, and the recommendation of friends around them is the most important. For example, Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law posted a circle of friends casually that day: "I took my children to watch "Zootopia" today, and I feel much better than yesterday's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"! It immediately attracted questions and comments from several mothers.

"The child wants to watch the little magician, isn't it as good as the cartoon?"

"Both children want to watch it, but I just want to take her to watch one, which one is better?"

"It seems that Zootopia has a higher rating, but the little magician is more popular, right?"

"It's not that yo, the box office of the little magician is higher in China, but in Europe and the United States, it is "Zootopia" that is more powerful!"

……

Monday morning, the magic capital.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

In the general manager's office of Nanhai Pictures, there was a happy scene, and even the French red wine treasured by the general manager Wang Zishan was taken out, and the whole room was filled with laughter.

"Well done, guys!"

After taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Wang Zishan said excitedly: "Good job! In just the first weekend, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" won nearly 700 million at the box office, which is half of our American counterparts...... Haha, this number is in the history of our distribution in the South China Sea, but it can be ranked in the top five! ”

Speaking of excitement, Wang Zishan poured himself another half glass of red wine!

The results of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are really a bit unexpected by Prince Mountain. You must know that this is not a Chinese New Year file, and there are also "Zootopia", "Fatal Temptation", "Eleventh Man" and other domestic and foreign big productions competing at the same time, the little magician can still win nearly 700 million box office, and successfully won the box office championship of the first weekend, in addition to the movie itself, the distribution department of Nanhai Pictures is definitely indispensable!

And......

"The key is word of mouth, and it is still spreading!"

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Han Tieshu took a breath and said excitedly: "Not only our Huaxia, but also film critics in European countries and North America have quite high ratings, and many people even say that it is the best children's movie in recent years...... Mr. Wang, it seems that the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is really going to explode this time! ”

The box office of Huaxia 700 million Chinese coins exceeded 100 million US dollars!

In North America, the opening weekend box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was also as high as 69 million, which was lower than the $81 million of "Zootopia", but it also successfully won the second place on the list!

The box office is a big hit, and the word of mouth is good!

So there is no doubt that both the South China Sea in China and the Haggs in Hollywood continue to invest more resources in Little Magicians - increasing publicity and increasing the number of theaters that are released. And all this will be reflected at the box office in the following weeks......

"The key is that the "Han Bo and Spirit Stone" of the Chinese New Year file!"

After drinking the wine in the glass again, Wang Zishan put the wine glass on the table heavily: "Gentlemen, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has handed over a perfect answer...... At least for the first three days of the release, everything was perfect. And what about our "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone"? When the audience uses it to compare "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", is it a scolding or a loud applause? ”

"Mr. Wang, believe me, a little wizard is no worse than a little magician!"

Even though he was still a little nervous before, but at this moment, a middle-aged man still stood up firmly!

"Very good, Director Wang, this is good!"

Nodding, Wang Zishan said seriously: "You know, at the beginning, Mr. Bai strongly demanded that we must be released in front of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"! But now, we have chosen to put it behind, which means that if our reputation is better, even if it is just about the same, then the little wizard will become the best promotional video for the little wizard! But if our reputation is too bad and too different from the little magician...... Gentlemen, that's not a promotional video, it's a life talisman......"

……

At the same time, North America, Los Angeles.

In a quiet room in a quiet high-end private club, a gray white fat man said with a solemn face: "Gentlemen, I think you should have seen the box office last weekend, right?" ”

There was no voice answering, but everyone nodded.

Everyone is mixed in this circle, and the weekly box office list is almost a part of their lives, so it is naturally impossible to say that they haven't seen it. And the reason why no one spoke was because they were intimidated by the list this past weekend.

260 million, that's a pretty impressive number!

And the top four all exceeded $30 million, which seems to be the first time on the weekend box office list of the Christmas stall!

But......

There is only one reason why the people in the room are silent after this result - the animated film "Zootopia" is at the top of the list, and the second place is the children's movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Both of these films have one thing in common.

Laobai！

If he were an American, Hollywood would not hesitate to put him on the altar, just like the Grammys did.

But it's a pity that he is a Chinese!

"According to our estimates, these two films may be able to make $500 million at the box office in North America!"

After being silent for a long time, a middle-aged woman suddenly spoke: "And if the Huaxia people do a good job, then the box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi" in more than a month will not be less than 200 million!" In other words, he was able to sweep up $700 million at the box office in North America with only three movies...... Note that it's at least 700 million, which is almost equivalent to the total box office in North America in a month! ”

The total box office in North America this year is 11 billion, and the average is about 900 million per month!

But then, the old man just now added: "Miss Iger, please don't forget, there is also "The Silence of the Lambs" in March, and "Hero", "Mulan" and "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" in the summer vacation! So if it continues like this, how much box office will that man's script get in North America this year? Fifteen billion? Or even two billion? Can he alone surpass most of our film companies? ”

“……”

After hearing his words, the room fell into an embarrassing silence.

These movies are also well-known in North America.

After a long time, a voice rang out: "Fortunately, except for "Hero" and "Mulan", the others are Hollywood works, aren't they?" ”

"Of course, you're right."

Nodding, the white-haired man took a deep breath and said, "But who can guarantee how long this cooperation will last?" Let's not always look at what he can bring to Hollywood now, but also see what he takes away...... Ladies and gentlemen, isn't that so? ”
