Chapter 580 Harry Potter Follow-up Plan

After six months of screening, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has basically reached the end of its run.

The film closed in North America on the third weekend of April, having grossed a total of $3 million, but still failed to shake Star Wars Episode 5300: Revenge of the Sith's position as the North American box office champion last year.

In terms of global box office, it reached 10 billion US dollars, successfully defeating the global box office of "Star Wars Episode 8400: Revenge of the Sith" of 3 million US dollars, becoming the global box office champion last year.

More importantly, peripheral products have once again sold well, generating a total of more than 5 million US dollars in peripheral sales since its release.

This does not include revenue from DVD sales, TV broadcast rights, and online rights.

The box office revenue has to be shared with local distributors and theater chains, but apart from the necessary costs, it is basically pure profit. And this is continuous, long-term income, a very stable meal ticket.

Financial media have all regarded the Harry Potter series as a business myth, analyzing the various reasons for its success, and ultimately attributing them all to the fact that the film has an outstanding producer.

This gave Gilbert Jr. an aura of success, as if any movie related to him, as long as it was positive, would be a big hit.

Countless examples in the past have proved this point.

After the huge success of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", plans for a sequel were also put on the agenda, this one is called "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

After Voldemort's appearance in the previous film, this one will see Voldemort demonstrate his abilities and engage in a battle with Albus Dumbledore to show why he is the ultimate villain.

Christopher Lee, who plays Dumbledore, is already 84 years old. It is not easy for him to still be active in the forefront of performance at such an old age.

Gilbert Jr. went to see him and found that Christopher Lee was in good health and could continue to play Dumbledore.

In addition, the Gryffindor Big Three continue to return. Generally speaking, as long as there is no exaggerated request, the producers will not easily change actors after becoming the protagonist of the series.

In addition, Zhang Qiu, who appeared in the previous movie, will of course still have a role in this one, which means that the Fairy Sister will also appear in this movie.

Because of the global success of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Fairy Sister finally doesn't have to be jealous of Shu Chang. Although she is not the lead actress, the film's global box office has exceeded $1 billion, which is enough for the media to brag about it for a while.

But Shu Chang doesn't have to worry. Although "Mystery of the Talisman 3" only grossed $6.23 million worldwide, the total box office of the trilogy reached $18.48 billion.

Moreover, she is the leading actress, and her position is second only to Cheng Long, which has snatched the supporting role of Fairy Sister.

Therefore, in the competition for the strongest actor born after 1985, Shu Chang is undoubtedly the winner.

As for Gilbert's 'favorite' Yang Mi, she was playing Guo Xiang when the Fairy Sister was playing Xiao Long Nu in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Fairy Sister has made her way into the international arena, but Yang Mi hasn’t even gotten a supporting role in a movie.

But the future is still long, and the one who laughs last is the winner. It is still unclear who is the most powerful actress born after 1985.

A new important character, Luna, was added to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Little Gilbert was more familiar with Luna from his previous life, and at that time he thought that Harry Potter and Luna were actually a couple.

Later he found out that it was not the case, which disappointed him for a while.

However, producer Robin Grand decided to hold an audition, and little Gilbert didn't know the name of the actor who played Luna in his previous life, so he agreed to Robin Grand's plan.

The director of the previous film, Mike Newey, decided not to continue directing the series, so the director of this film was replaced by another British director, David Yates.

This is a novice director who has not shot many films before, mainly short films and TV series.

Gilbert Jr. remembers that David Yates seemed to have been the director of the Harry Potter series and the prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series, and the results were pretty good. However, it would be more appropriate to wait a year for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, until fans had forgotten the previous work a little and their expectations for the new work had increased.

After finishing work on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Gilbert Jr. held several meetings with Marvel Studios executives.

At the meeting, Gilbert Jr. made it clear that "the box office potential of superhero movies is no less than that of Harry Potter, and may even be stronger than that of Harry Potter.

I hope our superhero movies can look very refreshing on the big screen, with a sense of justice, a sense of mission and other beautiful qualities. "

Kevin Feige said: "After Iron Man, we have planned to shoot Thor, Captain America, Hulk and other works."

"The script of 'The Hulk' needs major revisions. What does Universal Pictures say?" asked Gilbert Jr.

Kevin Feige replied: "They agreed that The Hulk would return to Marvel, but the Hulk solo movie would have to work with them."

"This bunch of greedy vampires." Little Gilbert complained, and then said: "Communicate with them. Also, Edward Norton is not a suitable candidate. Replace him."

"Okay, what about Liv Tyler?"

“The core is the actor who plays the Hulk, Edward Norton, who seems like a neurotic, not like Bruce Banner.

Oh, and invite Mark Ruffalo to audition for Bruce Banner."

Gilbert Jr. did not directly confirm Mark Ruffalo, although his role as the Hulk was impressive. But at this time, Mark Ruffalo was still playing supporting roles in movies or appearing in music videos as a second- or third-tier actor.

If they hadn't passed the audition, people would have thought that Mark Ruffalo and Gilbert Jr. had some improper relationship!
As for Liv Tyler, this woman has been pestering Gilbert Jr. recently. She wants to find other roles to play besides the "Fast and Furious" series.

So Gilbert Jr. stuffed her into "The Hulk", and this version was renamed "The Incredible Hulk".

This time, no one needs to doubt that their relationship is improper, because their relationship is indeed improper.

Liv Tyler recently introduced girls to Gilbert Jr. with great fanfare, but was severely stopped by Gilbert Jr. He is not a stud, so why does he need so many girls?

Since Little Gilbert didn't like the new girl, Liv Tyler pestered Little Gilbert. She heard that several sisters in Cantaloupe Manor had children, so she naturally wanted to contribute one.

However, she didn't get any good news, but Jennifer Connelly did get good news.

By the time of Gilbert Jr.'s generation, the situation of the Landrini family had improved somewhat, and Jennifer Connelly was pregnant with her sixth child.

Obviously, once these six and future children have more children, the Landrini family will immediately become larger.

The core of the family is people. Even in the 21st century, regional and family-based groups are still very popular in Europe and the United States.

The larger the population of a family, the greater the probability of producing talented people, and the family will be able to prosper for a long time.

In the end, the Landrini family will become a powerful force in the Western world, just like the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.

Of course, having too many children is also troublesome.

The housekeeper Xingzi, Yahui and Lily are the main force in taking care of the children. So many little ancestors have exhausted the three of them.
