Chapter 579 Harry Potter Explodes, Three Major Snipers Failed

"Don't worry, as long as he nods, we can let your Universal Pictures film and television works enter Xunfei."

Hearing Gardley's words, Marrington put the cup heavily on the table and sneered, "Let me bow my head to Zhang Xiao? That's impossible!"

After speaking, Marrington stood up and left angrily.

John and Gardley looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Gadley looked at Marrington's back and said, "It's really a giant baby that will never grow up."

John said lightly: "Since he took over Universal at the age of 28, Marrington has been going smoothly and has never experienced any setbacks. This has created his arrogant and arrogant character."

"If it weren't for Disney's rapid development, we still need him as a pioneer, and I would like to eat Universal."

Gardley said with a smile: "Universal Pictures has 450 theaters, covering the entire North America and Europe. Who wouldn't want to have a bite? Unfortunately, we don't have the ability."

Universal Cinemas is the foundation of Universal Pictures, unless the latter goes bankrupt, no one can move.

John said: "Forget it, our primary enemy now is Disney, and we must find a way to interrupt its development trend."

Jiadeli's expression became serious, and he said, "Mr. John is right."

John pondered: "Your movie is three days ahead of Harry Potter, our Paramount movie is three days behind theirs, Universal's movie is against them, if our three movies are all If you can’t snipe successfully, you have to think of another way.”

Gardley laughed and said, "Mullington will still be able to play off-the-market moves."

John raised his eyebrows and nodded, "That's right."

The two picked up the coffee, slammed it, and showed a tacit smile at the same time.

···
The next night, Zhang Xiao attended the premiere of "Harry Potter".

As the author of the "Harry Potter" series of novels, the appearance of Zhang Xiao has attracted countless fans to support him.

Many people also brought "Harry Potter" trap books.

As of today, all eight "Harry Potter" books have been published, and the sales volume is extremely hot. According to statistics, a total of [-] million copies have been sold, which is much more than that on the earth.

Zhang Xiao didn't put on airs, and after signing his name for more than 50 book fans, he walked into the theater.

In the theater, Zhang Xiao saw the little actors of "Harry Potter", all of them were very cute.

Half an hour later, the first part of "Harry Potter" officially began its premiere.

In Zhang Xiao's opinion, the whole movie was shot very well. Whether it's the performances of the actors, the plot of the movie, or the special effects of the magic, all of them are above 8.5 points. If these add up, they can reach 9 points. Absolutely satisfy the fantasies of book fans.

After the movie ended, Zhang Xiao was the first to comment.

"On a scale of 9, I'd give Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone a [-]."

"The world shown in the movie is very close to the magical world I imagined when I was writing the novel, and I especially like the little actor who plays Harry Potter, Daniel, he is very talented and spiritual in acting."

"Overall, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a very successful movie, I am very satisfied, and hope that the second part can start shooting as soon as possible."

With Zhang Xiao's affirmation, all the crew of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" let out a long sigh of relief.

Before attending the premiere, Zhang Xiao once said that as a filmmaker, he would never say anything against his will, which frightened Disney and the "Harry Potter" crew.

If Zhang Xiaozhong expressed dissatisfaction with the movie, then they would be completely finished.

Fortunately, this terrible thing did not happen.

Before the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Columbia's action film "The Hunter" gained a good reputation and box office. It won 3.14 million US dollars in three days, which can be said to be very popular in North America.

Today, at the same time as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Universal Pictures' sci-fi blockbuster "Star Sea" will be released globally.

Three days later, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will also usher in Paramount's horror film "Deep Mist". Also a very big threat.

In this case, not to mention people in the industry, even an ordinary movie fan knows that the three giants are jointly gathering "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

On the way back, Zhang Xiao asked: "What are Herman, John, Gardley, and Marrington thinking? Concentrating all the films on this week's release will not only affect the "Harry Potter" And the Philosopher's Stone" box office will also affect their own box office at the same time, this is too irrational!"

Herman explained: "Mr. Zhang, they hope to successfully snipe "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and then organize us to form a Harry Potter series. For this goal, even if they suffer a little loss , and at the same time.”

After listening to his explanation, Zhang Xiao suddenly realized: "It's a famous watch, as long as the first film's reputation and box office fail, then the fans will be completely disappointed in us, and then Harry Potter will end without a problem. Right!"

"That's right!" Herman nodded.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that, they still have a long-term vision!"

Herman said: "I hope God can bless our "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to be a success."

Maybe God really heard Herman's prayer. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" reached a global box office of 2.23 million US dollars on the first day, successfully beating Universal Pictures' sci-fi blockbuster "Star Sea", which only took To 1.32 million US dollars.

As for Columbia's "Hunter", affected by two films, it only won 6000 million box office in the North American and European markets.

At the same time, the word-of-mouth of the two films also came out.

On Rotten Tomatoes, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" scored 90.00% freshness, and the word-of-mouth has exploded. Countless book fans have expressed their love for this movie.

But "Xinghai" is not so good, it only got 50.00% freshness. A film critic compared it with "Interstellar", and was directly criticized as useless.

the next day.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has a global box office of 2.87 million US dollars, while "Star Sea" is only 1.18 million US dollars, and "Hunter" is only more than 5000 million US dollars. Disney won again.

On the third day, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" earned US$2.44 million, "Star Sea" earned US$800 million, and "Hunter" earned US$[-] million. "

On the fourth day, Paramount's "Deep Mist" was released, and the box office didn't even reach 5000 million, and its freshness on Rotten Tomatoes was only 40.00%.

So far, the sniper plan of the three giants has completely failed. The word-of-mouth and box office success of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has laid a very good foundation for the "Harry Potter" series. Even Disney's stock price has fallen. Up 5.00%.
