HP John Snape

Chapter 13

The movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a hit.

There's a big fire.

How to describe it?

A movie ticket cost three US dollars, which was about 24 yuan per adult/renminbi at the time.

In the eyes of flower growers in 2000, this was already very expensive.

But in the movie theaters around John, there was still an endless stream of people going there, and the theaters were full. Some people turned around after watching it once and queued up to buy tickets again.

Don't think it's an exaggeration, this was indeed a common scene at that time. John was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear every time he went out on the street.

After the movie's release finally came to an end, the box office statistics were released.

The North American box office alone was US$317.6 million! Won the crown of box office champion!

The global box office is even more impressive, US$976.5 million, ranking fourth in the world! !

For a time, the little boy's name "Harry Potter" was officially known to people all over the world.

As soon as it hit the box office, it was invincible. In recent days, newspapers and the Internet have been full of information related to "Harry Potter".

Although the recent popularity of Harry Potter has swept across the world, people do not have much intuitive impression of it. The box office data really shocked them!

Fortunately, the actors who were invited to audition for this film were all different, including those who were once famous, those who were not famous, and those who turned out to be unknown ordinary people.

They were also envied, jealous, and hated by other actors.

Just because of the contract that John had proposed to Warner - hoping to sign a contract with these actors, they will be the regular actors in the next seven Harry Potter films.

Warners was most aware of the power of the film they signed.

A movie that had only modest expectations before, suddenly exceeded expectations and entered the global box office! Even in the top five! This is a golden rice bowl.

What else is there to consider at this time? The contract proposed by the original author was only profitable and harmless.

But John also put forward new conditions.

His original intention was to shoot one movie a year, with all the actors and actresses following the original cast. But George, who had been busy for a long time, brought opinions from the publishing house.

——The fourth volume of Harry Potter books is about to be published. According to the frequency of one book every six months, by the time the second volume is released, the fifth volume will probably be published. The time period between the release of the book and the movie is too long, and the popularity of the book has diminished, which is undoubtedly very disadvantageous.

It was impossible for John to slow down his writing or delay publication.

So George hopes that John will take into consideration the book aspects and speed up the film process.

After John proposed it to Warner, he didn't expect it to hit it off.

Warner's idea is to strike while the iron is hot. Although one movie a year is the orthodox practice, in the Harry Potter movies, the actors actually only need five to six weeks to shoot, and the post-editing and promotion time only takes about three or four months. In total, it was only half a year.

Although we can't be so crazy that we only watch one movie every half a year, one after another without giving people a breather - that will make people tired and tired. But if you shorten it to three months appropriately, you can still make one movie for half a year.

As for young actors, there is no need to worry too much. Children grow up quickly, and foreign children mature even precociously. The appearance of half a year is basically the same as that of a year.

"Then it's settled." Charlie, who was in charge of this negotiation, smiled at him.

John nodded in response to him, looked over the contract in front of him, and then signed his name neatly.

"It's a pleasure to work with you,"

he said.

Although the first Philosopher's Stone has just been released not long ago, the crew will start preparations for the second part as soon as possible. If you want to release it at the end of this year, then this year is quite tight.

Just as John was getting ready to get busy again, the Internet about the Harry Potter movies began to ferment.

"Funny big glasses, thin body. He has enviable magic, intelligence that we can never match, and courage that can never be surpassed. He is little Harry."

"What I saw at first was that Harry was relatively miserable. childhood, but this did not wipe out the sunshine in his heart. According to our theory, if a child is lonely and cannot feel love when he is a child, then he will not know how to love others when he grows up. But Harry does not. , he is still the upright and sensible person with a warm smile. The comparison of birthdays - Dudley's birthday includes gifts, food and a zoo, but Harry can only look on pitifully. But when 11 years old comes. At that time, his new life began. I couldn't help but sincerely wish him..."

"Have you noticed that in the third book, it is mentioned that only students after the third year of Hogwarts can go to Hogwarts ? Maud Village', but in the first movie, after Harry and the others got off the express, the wooden sign on the left road said Hogsmeade (Hogsmeade Village). "

I saw Hagrid writing it in green letters. When the pink cake of 'Happy Birthday Harry' was handed to little Harry, he smiled with surprise and happiness, and I felt that my heart became complete. "

John was very surprised to find that some netizens discovered the small details in the movie.

But it's still early days, and there are still many small details that are gifts to everyone from the crew - of course, if they can find them carefully enough.

For example...

there are many paintings on the wall next to the moving staircase, and one of the very clear paintings is of Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of Henry VIII and the mother of Elizabeth I. She is considered by the public to be a witch and looks very familiar.

Presumably the crew will continue to release behind-the-scenes and easter eggs from the filming, which will be very interesting.

John felt like laughing just thinking about it.

Snape looked at him with disgust, but found that this trick was useless to him.

The author has something to say: The data on Harry Potter in the article are not exaggerated and are written based on Baidu data.
