v2 Chapter 772： Cameron's recommendation

In the past ten years, three lovely children have also grown into young girls and young girls. The release of the closing episode also heralds the end of the decade-long magical journey that has accompanied global fans, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" The premiere of Ha Mi was described as "lost love".

At the end of the chapter, tears kept running, and with the emotion of farewell, many viewers walked out of the theater with red eyes.

Moreover, the entire series took ten years and accumulated countless fans and extremely high popularity. When the final chapter of the series arrived, all of them broke out.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has also become a record-breaking machine, setting a series of previous North American box office records.

These records previously belonged to the super fan movie "Twilight Saga: New Moon". Many people are complaining about this film, but it does not prevent it from using the power of fans to make Duke use the series of box office records created by "The Dark Knight". .

In this era, fan movies are becoming more and more unignorable, and the same is true of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

The original midnight box office record in North America was $30 million for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" increased this record with a midnight box office score of $43.5 million. That's a full 13.5 million dollars!

◎%, the North American premiere box office record also belongs to "Twilight Saga: New Moon", which spent 72.7 million US dollars in 2009, surpassing the original record of 68.36 million US dollars in "The Dark Knight", which fully demonstrated the fan movie's success Powerful, but the fans of the "Harry Potter" series are more and crazier than it, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" cost 92.1 million US dollars, easily surpassed.

The biggest problem with fan movies is that they cannot last. The box office trend of "Twilight Saga: New Moon" is the best explanation, but the quality of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is good enough. The box office is far more stable than "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", but compared to the box office trend of "The Dark Knight" in the first week, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" can only lose in the first weekend in North America. .

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in the first three days of North America, collected 169.15 million US dollars, won the box office in the first week after "The Dark Knight" in history.

This is enough to make Duke and Warner Bros. laugh together, and the film's box office revenue is second. Derivatives are the main source of income. Since the large-scale promotion of "Under Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", various Harry Potter-related products have been selling crazy.

According to Warner Bros. estimates, sales of Harry Potter derivatives this year will not be less than $3 billion at least.

For example, the "Harry Potter" series can shoot eight consecutive films. Whether it is investment or influence, it is rare in global film history. As the end of the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" no matter the storyline It's still visual effects, and it's the most popular one in the whole series. Overseas media unanimously praised it as the "Best Film of the Year".

There are also British media reports that Warner Bros. Pictures, as the publishing company of the "Harry Potter" series, will once again hit the Oscars with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", and strive to make this series the finale. The best film throne.

The first seven films in the "Harry Potter" series have won nine Oscar nominations in total, including "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" nominated for the last Oscar for best visual effects and best art direction , But so far. Did not win any glory.

Warner Bros. did declare various Oscar nominations for this film.

However, they are the same as Duke. We all know that it is not difficult for this film to get the best picture nomination. After all, the best picture nomination has been expanded to nine, but if you want to get the best picture, unless Joanna Rowling has an accident before the final Oscar voting , Hang up like Tolkien, otherwise it is basically impossible.

As Duke said and Hollywood has proved it with facts. No one can ignore the sensational effects and sympathy of death.

The purpose of Warner Bros. is actually very simple. When the new awards season arrives, borrow the Oscar's wind to make the film's box office and peripheral sales get higher income.

Fan movies and sequel movies are far more popular than other original types of movies, which is why Hollywood attaches great importance to adaptations and sequels. And the important reason for not catching a cold with the original.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" also proves this rule. With the advantage of the final chapter of the series, the film was released in only 24 days, and it surpassed Duke's half-year-old at the global box office. In mid-December, the global box office of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows reached more than $1.133 billion, while Duke’s Inception has not The threshold of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars was reached, and the figure stagnated at 1.076.6 million.

In the end, it was very difficult for the box office to exceed 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, because the film had already been downgraded from North America.

The North American box office of "Inception" eventually stopped at $368.97 million.

Originally, Warner Bros. planned to keep the film in theaters until the time of the last Oscar vote, but it was rejected by Duke. He believed that Warner Bros. should focus its resources on the upcoming "Gravity". , This film is the focus of the next operation.

These operations are not only theater screenings, but also Oscars.

Duke's goal for Oscar is very clear, in fact, there is only one-best actress.

To win the award, you must first complete the post-production of the film. Before the end of December, Duke basically completed the film, and then held a small preview inside Warner Bros. What Duke did not expect was James. After Cameron heard about it, he rushed to watch the preview.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Duke used to work hard for the "Avatar" platform, and James Cameron did not want to owe him favor.

As he thought, James Cameron specifically mentioned Duke's new film in an interview two days after the screening.

James Cameron said that in the 90 minutes of watching "Gravity", his hand has been on his mouth, and he should remind himself from time to time not to forget to breathe.

Especially for the 3d effect of the film, Cameron madly praised that the film raised the filming technology to a new level, and also created a precedent in terms of visual effects and 3d technology. It perfectly uses cg and real-life shooting. defect.

In this TV interview, James Cameron even felt that his description was not enough. He mentioned from time to time that "if you describe this film as a thrilling thriller, you would underestimate it." , "This is not enough to explain how good this film is", "This film is much more than that"...

Obviously, James Cameron is not only the favor of Duke, but also really attracted by the film itself.

For this, he wrote a related article on his instant sharing, which was instantly reposted by hundreds of thousands of fans and became one of the most interesting online news before Christmas.

"I think "Gravity" is by far the best space movie. I grew up watching space movies. That is my big love. I was a member of NASA’s advisory board and has continued After 3 years, I am very eager to go to outer space. After watching "Gravity", I feel that my wish has been fulfilled."

"The most successful thing that Director Duke Rosenberg has done is to truly show the state of weightlessness. He will take you to outer space. You will feel the magnificence of space and the beauty of the earth. The feeling of floating in space without gravity, and the loneliness, fear, and beauty. I feel like I’ve been to outer space. If you go to this movie, it’s hard not to feel the reality like me. ."

"The other thing I really like about this film is that it takes filmmaking technology to a new level. I know it’s difficult to shoot when the actors are in constant motion, but they did it and did a great job. I know they use A lot of robots, and the latest lighting equipment, these are brand new attempts, and the effect is very good. This is not like the people you often see before flying with Wia hanging, this film is more real, you will feel the kind of weightlessness , And the astronauts have received good physical training, you will feel the same."

"The film "Gravity" has also created a precedent in terms of visual effects and 3D technology. It makes perfect use of cg and live action shooting without any flaws. If this film is described as a thrilling and exciting film , That’s also an underestimation. I kept my hand on my mouth during the 90 minutes of watching this film, and I had to remind myself from time to time not to forget to breathe, which is not enough to explain how good this film is."

"This is really a powerful, human and touching movie."

"Someone might say that Duke Rosenberg is making a space thriller, and this movie is much more than that. It's about survival, about how a woman faces herself and how she manages to survive. Carrie Johnson’s performance is impeccable. If I were you, I would definitely go to the theater to watch this movie. Don’t miss it."

Although James Cameron has a human nature, these can indeed help the film. Duke also called him specifically, and Warner Bros. will also use these with the consent of James Cameron himself. The actual promotion of the film.

Scarlett Johansson’s performance on “Gravity” is undoubtedly outstanding. James Cameron’s praise is not excessive. Duke’s views are the same as him, but he wants to be nominated for an Oscar and thus win the awards ceremony next year. It’s far from enough to rely solely on roles and performances.

In addition to Scarlett Johansson's frequent attendance at various events to increase his exposure, Duke and Pani Kellys and Warner Bros.'s work has long been ahead. (To be continued.)
