American Entertainment: Starting with playing the role of Little Beaver

Chapter 21 Premiere
In fact, ever since Warner Bros. officially released the poster for "Sorcerer's Stone" last year, marketing related to the film has been proceeding steadily. For example, in June of this year, Warner Bros. released the second trailer at the same time as filming wrapped up, and in August, with the completion of the special effects, the third trailer for the film was also released to the public.

If it weren't for the major events in September that drew the world's attention to New York;
The sudden disaster forced Warner Bros., which was unable to seize public resources when the country was in dire need, to halt its attention-grabbing publicity campaign.

Warner Bros. will definitely throw a big party in the fifty days leading up to the movie's official release.

However, HP is, after all, a British-American co-production, and features an all-British cast.

Is it not appropriate for North America to openly discuss entertainment?
Is it okay for me to play a loudspeaker in the UK?
Not to mention, HP is for young adults, and its target audience is children, who don't care what's going on in Xinxiang.

So……

Warner Bros. then took a roundabout approach, focusing all its publicity efforts on the UK. As a result, the premiere was held in London. Well... initially, they wanted to hold one premiere in each city.

Since resources can only be concentrated in Britain, when the 4th arrives, Leicester Square will shine like a vast galaxy:

Sean Connery, the actor who played James Bond in the original series, was invited to attend;
Magneto from X-Men and Gandalf the White from The Lord of the Rings, Ian McKellen, also came;
Moreover, Kate Winslet, currently one of the most successful actresses in the British film and television industry, also appeared on the red carpet;

When Rose, dressed in an evening gown and wearing a top hat with a bow, raised her gloved right hand to greet the fans outside the cordon, the increasingly loud cheers made Isabella, who was about to appear, smile.

"Oh~ Isa~ what are you so happy about?"

Today, Isabella and Lorraine are riding in the same car.

It's not that Vivian and Catherine wouldn't be there; they would still attend today's premiere. Rather, there's an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry: if an artist brings their family to the red carpet, the family member is considered to have automatically relinquished their right to privacy.

At that time, all media outlets will be able to freely publish photos of your family.

Regardless of whether he is an adult or not.

Vivian doesn't care about the exposure issue because she became famous in the 1980s, but neither Vivian nor Isabella want Catherine to be in the spotlight, and she herself doesn't want to walk the red carpet.

So when Rowling also wanted to protect her daughter, the two teamed up.

"Oh, I was thinking, Kate must be the pinnacle of actresses, right?"

Isabella said, "There's probably no woman in the film industry more dazzling than Rose."

"Are you envious?" Rowling asked with a smile, "or yearning?"

“Both…” Isabella turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Lorraine: “You know, I’m very frank when I talk to you, so I’d like to say that now that I’m in this industry, I naturally hope to do my best.”

Rowling was amused.

To be honest, she quite liked Isabella's frank attitude.

However, she also felt that Isabella was being overly modest.

"Isa."

"Ok?"

“I can accept you saying Rose is the most dazzling woman in the film industry now, but if you still say that after tonight, I will have to let you leave the crew, because I think Hermione is the best.”

Rowling winked at Isabella, "You~"

"hahahaha~"

The little girl beamed with joy.

She enjoyed hearing compliments and acknowledged that Hermione indeed possessed a strong personal charm.

Therefore, how can Hermione surpass Rose?

Oh~
That sounds amazing!
As the two were talking, the limousine arrived in front of the red carpet.

Staff members dressed in suits and ties opened the car doors for them.

The next second, a deafening scream pierced Isabella's eardrums.

Her high-pitched voice even made her ears hurt a little, but regardless of her performance experience in her previous life or the intensive training that the old lady gave her in this life, they were all reminding her that she must be elegant at this moment.

She smiled and nodded at the staff, handed them her hand, and climbed out of the car with a 'well-trained' posture. The subsequent clicking sound made her feel like she had fallen into a sea of ​​flashing lights.

'Oh, Sxxt——'

'Daniel is right, this really is a nightmare.'

Isabella wanted to close her eyes, but she couldn't, because beauty comes at a price.

Her composure elicited excited screams from the fans outside the cordon.

"Hermione? Is that Hermione next to Rowling?"

"Yeah! Yeah!! Yeah!!! It's her! It's her!! It's definitely her!!!"

"My God—she's even more beautiful in person than in the posters and trailers—"

"Oh—what was her name again? Isa? Isa!!"

To be fair, this is Isabella's first time meeting the public.

Before she arrived, she had no idea what the scene would look like.

But once the chant of 'Isa, Isa, Isa' was uttered, Warner's investment in promotion, HP's influence in the UK, and the sales of merchandise from companies like Mattel became immediately tangible.

Everyone knows her!

Then she turned around and waved in the direction of the sound...

"Oh my God!"

“She is gorgeous!!!”

Isabella, dressed in a fiery red dress, resembled a rosebud about to bloom.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing her naturally flowing, slightly wavy golden hair to flutter in the wind.

She was as beautiful as an angel.

After lingering on the red carpet for a while and briefly interacting with fans from all over, Isabella then followed Rowling through the premiere's schedule, leaving her signature on the autograph wall and being interviewed by the host...

After finishing all that, Isabella finally had the chance to enter the cinema and go into the theater, which was decorated just like Hogwarts.

He waved in the direction where his mother and older sister were; Rowling's daughter, young master's brother, and Rupert's family were all over there.

Daniel's family was also there.

The playful response reassured her, and she sat down in the main creative team's seat, next to the old lady and Rupert.

"Darling, you look so beautiful today."

The red figure that appeared so suddenly made the old lady smile and praise it.

Isabella simply shrugged and shook her head.

"Oh, Maggie, I don't want to be beautiful at all right now!"

"Just now at the door, a gust of wind blew in and I almost froze to death."

The chill in London in November was already quite noticeable.

At this time, the most suitable garment to wear is actually an overcoat.

Just like Benedict Cumberbatch.

However, her 'frank words' were perceived as hypocrisy by the old lady.

"If you're not pretty anymore, you'll be unhappy."

"Pfft—Hehehehe—"

Before Isabella could respond, Rupert, who had been listening to the two of them, burst into laughter.

Harry, Bonnie, the young master, and others who were already seated also covered their mouths and 'secretly' chuckled.

Isabella curled her lip at the sight, saying, "You people are really boring."

I grabbed the shawl from my seat and wrapped it around myself; it was brought in by my mother.

I just like to tell the truth.

"Hahahaha~"

His unhappily admitted it made everyone laugh.

Isa kept a straight face for a while, and then...

"haven't seen you for a long time."

She broke down, smiling as she looked at her friends beside her.

This is the first time everyone has gathered together since filming for "The Philosopher's Stone" wrapped up.

Everyone changes, the most obvious being that they grow taller.

Of course, she's grown up too.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Everyone greeted him with smiles.

Oh~ even the voice has changed~
Okay, she's changed too.

Being a female celebrity isn't easy. No matter your age, when attending more formal events, fashion consultants will advise you to wear dresses. Not to mention, in the UK, dresses are considered formal wear for women.

Even the Duchess of Cambridge couldn't escape this custom, so Isabella had no choice but to follow suit.

Not to mention, Bonnie and the others were the same.

Since Isabella and Rowling's appearance on the red carpet was considered the grand finale, the premiere officially began shortly after everyone was seated. The Warner Bros. host gave a welcoming speech, thanking the invited guests for their support. His speech lasted about three minutes, and then *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows* officially began playing. Melodious orchestral music filled the theater's sound system.

That's the "Hedwig Variations" that all Harry Potter fans are familiar with.

The Warner logo flashed by, and Privet Road suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Due to insufficient access and the need for confidentiality, Isabella has never seen what her portrayal of Harry Potter looks like.

As the movie began, she, sitting in the audience, felt a strong sense of novelty, but...

This novelty only lasted a few seconds.

The sight of Dumbledore appearing and, together with Professor McGonagall, taking the infant Harry from Hagrid, who was riding a flying motorcycle, and placing him at the Dursleys' doorstep evoked a sense of emotion in Isabella.

This is where the dreams of countless Harry Potter fans began.

The film officially begins as the lightning bolt scar on Harry's head grows larger, revealing the large Harry Potter logo.

Chris Columbus used 15 minutes of footage to depict Harry's growth:
The 10-year-old boy lives under the stairs of his uncle's house, which the entire Dursley family considers an omen of bad luck.
Even so, he didn't go astray and can communicate with people and things around him in a pleasant manner.

For example, when he goes to the zoo, he can talk to the snakes with a smile, because that's the snake-like voice that the noseless monster has.

He was overjoyed when he received his Hogwarts acceptance letter. Even though his uncle tore up the letter and locked him under the stairs, fiercely telling him that there was no magic in the world, he still had hope for tomorrow.

Then, he successfully waited for Hagrid.

This also means that the magical world has officially begun—

The action of tapping the wall with the tip of an umbrella to open the door to Diagon Alley is a move that countless Harry Potter fans have imitated.

Diagon Alley is filled with countless shops: some sell cauldrons, some sell wands, some sell herbs, and of course, the most eye-catching are the owl shops. Hedwig tilts her head...so cute!
When Harry arrives at King's Cross Station, the appearance of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters signifies that the main characters will soon be reunited.

Chris Columbus used three minutes of footage to depict the train's arrival at the station. Then, the scene flashed to a train speeding by, implying that Harry was on his way to Hogwarts. The next second, snap, Ron appeared and sat down next to Harry...

The audience at a premiere generally falls into four categories:

The first category consists of the project's creators and their relatives and friends;

The second category is invited guests;

The third category is media reporters and film critics;

The fourth category consists of the lucky ones.

Most movie premieres release tickets to the public, though in limited quantities. Those who wish to attend can fill out the participation rules and wait for a draw. If selected, they can see the new film as soon as it's released.

Of course, this selection is based on human judgment.

Therefore, those who are selected are usually seasoned movie fans or IP fans who frequently participate in various film events.

And the fans have all entered...

From the moment the movie started playing, there were already cheers from the dedicated audience section.

Moreover, that cry appeared wave after wave as the plot progressed, like ocean waves, with a great sense of rhythm.

To be honest, this situation is quite normal in everyone's eyes. Although HP has not shown any depth so far, isn't the standard for judging commercial films to be a normal plot and good special effects?

HP's storyline is beyond question; the market has already proven it.

As for the special effects?

Chris Columbus is a student of Steven Spielberg, and the visual effects assets he has are from Industrial Light & Magic.

But with Ron's appearance, the audience, who were marveling at how wonderful the magical world was, suddenly burst into laughter.

There's no way around it; Rupert Hooper's portrayal of Ron is a bit of a goofball.

"So...It is true! I mean, do you really have the...the...?"

(So...that's true! I mean, you really have that...that...)
"The what?"

(What?)

"Scar?"

(scar?)

When Ron first met Harold, his initial reaction was the same as everyone else's except Snape.

That's because they wanted to see Harry's scars.

But he dared not confront the noseless monster directly.

So, when his wide-eyed curiosity and cautious fear were mixed together, his expression became somewhat comical.

As Harry tossed his hair back, revealing his scar, his eyes widened again, instantly turning the theater into a sea of ​​laughter...

"Oh—how can Ron's eyes still be so wide open?"

"Hahaha~ His acting is hilarious! I feel like he's not seeing scars, but alien creatures?"

"Oh my gosh~ He looks kind of silly, but...it's funny...hahahaha~"

The sounds coming from all directions made Rupert's face tighten.

Instinctively, I turned around and peered into the darkness.

Having gained nothing, he turned away instantly.

"It's all you!"

He muttered something to Isabella beside him.

Isabella, who understood what he was talking about, and Daniel, who was sitting next to him, both laughed.

Ok.

This scene was filmed under the chaotic direction of Director Yi.

At the time, Isabella thought Rupert's performance under her guidance was somewhat comical.

But Columbus thought it was good. He believed that Rupert had portrayed Ron's cuteness very well, which echoed the scene of him devouring a chicken leg at the Hogwarts dinner party, so he kept that scene.

Now let's see...

It's really funny.

After learning Harry's identity, Ron's eyes widened like saucers.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it's like a Plus version of normal eyes.
But when he saw the Pikachu tattooed on Harry by the noseless monster, could his eyes transcend Pro and evolve into Pro Max?

Wow~
Those magnified eyes perfectly embody the essence of a comic book aesthetic!
Honestly, this kind of scene would be a disaster in any other movie.

Because the acting was too exaggerated.

However, HP is Young Adult.

Young adults are capable of embracing everything.

The best shot is one that makes the audience in the theater happy.

It has nothing to do with acting skills.

But the truth is...

is also like this.

Because he was short of money, Ron couldn't afford the snacks on the train, so he was feeling a bit down. Therefore, when he discovered that Harry's pockets were full of coins and that Harry had emptied the shopping cart, Ron was once again shocked.

Because this scene was filmed continuously, Rupert's expression on screen remained exaggerated, but his blank look was the best embodiment of a child's innocence in the eyes of the audience.

Ron and Harry chatted while eating snacks, and the process of going from strangers to friends satisfied many book fans.

The enjoyment lasted only a few seconds.

When Ron picked up his wand, wanting to show off his magic, or rather, his strengths, to his rich classmate...

Has anyone seen a toad?

“A guy named Neville lost a toad.”

A beautiful figure dressed in Hogwarts school uniform appeared at the door of their carriage.

Following the sound, they saw a girl with long, flowing hair scrutinizing the two of them.

At the same time, she was holding onto the door frame with both hands, as if trying to steady herself in the swaying train.

However, it also carries a sense of highway robbery and forced interrogation for information.

Because of her harsh tone, she seemed arrogant and disdainful of others.

Even so, cheers still erupted at the premiere.

"Oh~ Hermione's out~"

"She looks so cute in her Hogwarts robes!"

"Although it's different from the original story, I like this Hermione... Her name is Isa?"

"Yeah~ Isa! Her name is Isa!"
