America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 364: 362: Let's Show Down the Cards, Christmas Eve Is Destined to Be Unpeaceful
To be honest, the quality and reputation of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" are actually not as good as "Prisoner of Azkaban".

After Eric acquired Warner Bros., "Goblet of Fire" had already been filmed and the post-production was almost complete.

He didn't want to waste his energy and money on reshoots.

Moreover, compared to "The Prisoner of Azkaban", "Goblet of Fire" is indeed very attractive to children with its sunny pictures and the gimmick of the Triwizard Tournament.

As for children, all they want is a lively and happy environment.

Moreover, Voldemort was successfully resurrected in this finale, which was also a major selling point for the promotion.

This super villain, who has been paving the way for four movies, finally shows up.

At the premiere, Eric and Judy sat together, and there were also many Harry Potter fans among his women.

The three Olsen sisters, Gadot, Liu and Daddario were all sitting in the back.

With the appearance of three magic schools, Harry Potter's worldview is expanded, and it turns out that the magical world is not just about Hogwarts.

The ball begins and Harry's first love, Cho Chang, appears. He is an Asian character, an Asian wizard.

The casting was a bit bad in Eric's opinion, she was a bit too old and not pretty enough.

Many parents who don't care about the plot are even more confused: "Isn't Harry Potter's girlfriend Hermione? Is this a love triangle?"

But then the fire-breathing dragon roaring across the big screen and the thrilling aerial chase drew the audience's attention back.

What’s the point of playing with love in the magical world? Isn’t it better to play with dragons?

When we got to the second underwater level, it finally started to feel a bit scary, causing many kids to exclaim in surprise.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Voldemort was resurrected and transformed, and the Gothic horror style became even stronger.

Then Voldemort and Harry began to fight.

"Avada eats the big melon!"

"Except your weapons!"

The two rays, one blue and one red, collided in mid-air, triggering the Flashback Spell, finally bringing Harry back to Hogwarts.

The news of Voldemort's return was also made public, setting the stage for the fifth sequel.

Although some scenes are a bit scary for children, the movie is generally light-hearted and bright.

After the screening, there was naturally warm applause.

The creators came on stage to give their thanks, and it was the first time that Eric saw the real actors of Harry, Ron and Hermione gathered together; they had just dispersed when they walked on the red carpet.

Miss Watson is now 15 years old and looks very petite in her loose magic robe.

But after taking off the magic robe and putting on makeup, she looked much more beautiful. She didn't look like a 15-year-old girl. Some people would believe that she was an adult.

"Christmas is coming soon, and I plan to invite some good friends to my house for dinner. What do you think?" Eric asked.

"Why are you asking us? You have decided your friend."

"Not only my friend, but also your friend. At least in the future I hope you can become very good friends."

Ashley frowned. "What do you want to say, Eric?"

Eric glanced at Judy, Xiao Liu and Daddario who were watching him quietly, and made up his mind.

"Judy helped me a lot, and as you all know, it would have been hard for me to get through that without her."

"But her relationship with her family is not very harmonious, so she doesn't plan to go back home for Christmas. I don't want her to be too lonely."

In Ashley's eyes, Judy is still that lesbian.

She didn't think much about it and nodded as a matter of course: "Okay, I like Judy's personality."

At this time, Elizabeth walked over quickly, took Ashley's hand and pulled her: "Hurry up, hurry up, we want to take a photo with the main creators of Harry Potter."

The three Olsen sisters are die-hard fans of the wizarding world, and they immediately trotted away upon hearing the words.

Eric winked at Judy. "It's done. How about Christmas Eve?" "I don't care."

"Me too."

"I'll do whatever you say, dear."

"Well, prepare the gifts. Make sure they are generous."

"Don't worry, after all, we are latecomers and will take the initiative to show goodwill."

Half a month has passed in a flash and Christmas Eve is approaching.

On the big screen, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was unrivaled and continued to soar.

The time slot of more than a month was given to the younger brothers. They are not blind and no one would come up to cause trouble, not to mention that they cannot beat them.

So far, "Goblet of Fire" has grossed $2.45 million in North America.

Based on the experience of the Harry Potter series, box office revenue outside North America is usually twice or even more that of North America.

Therefore, the final forecast given by major analysis agencies is that the global revenue is expected to reach between 9.3 million and 9.5 million US dollars, and whether it can break 10 billion depends on luck.

However, it is generally expected that the movie can beat "Star Wars Episode 3".

In Beverly Hills, the Cooper family is preparing dinner.

Joshua also came back yesterday, bringing his two girlfriends with him.

After Charlie Cooper officially retired, he gave Joshua another $1000 million to help him run his sporting goods business.

This guy has also recognized that he will never be able to play as a starter in football and that this is the ceiling of his talent.

So he accepted his fate and chose to semi-retire after his contract with the team expired last year, and started doing business with the help of his father.

It’s been more than a year, and we’ve been doing pretty well. The brand has already gained some fame in San Francisco.

In the kitchen, Eric rubbed against Emily Cooper like a pleaser puppy.

"My dear mother, the greatest mother, I haven't enjoyed your cooking for a long time. This tastes so good."

Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law burst out laughing.

The richest man in the world is completely different from what they imagined.

His mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Get lost! Don't expect me to help you again with this matter."

"You're totally crazy, brat! Six and then four more, is this the end?"

“I’ve found that as your wealth grows, desires become more difficult to satisfy.”

"Nico, Theron, Gadot, even the Olsen sisters, any one of them can drive a man crazy."

"You've got enough already, I don't even know what to say to you."

"Anyway, you have to clean up this mess yourself, and you, Charlie, are not allowed to help him. Do you hear me?"

Dad nodded softly and gave Eric a helpless look.

Eric walked out of the kitchen angrily. Joshua laughed strangely: "I told you that you can't do this."

"But there is one thing I've always been curious about. How do you deal with 10 women, 10 female stars with strong desires?"

"I mean, can the body bear it?"

“Do you have any special techniques that you can share?”

Eric waved his hands in disdain: "Get lost!"

At this time, the sound of a car was heard outside, and they were coming.
