In early 2002, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", which attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of Harry Potter fans, was finally released. This movie, which combines fantasy and adventure elements, is not only loved by Harry Potter fans, but also those who have never been exposed to this novel.
Passersby audiences were all attracted by the famous "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Coupled with Warner Bros.'s strong global promotion, all audiences were attracted to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
Philosopher's Stone" is full of great expectations.
In terms of film schedule, in the US market alone, there are nearly 4,000 theaters showing this film.
In just one week, the total U.S. box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has reached 1.0 billion US dollars.
This figure is only 20 million short of the total production cost, and this result also led to the first place in the global box office in 2002.
In the UK, "Harry Potter" also received high-end treatment in more than 500 theaters across the country. In its first week of release, it earned 9 million pounds at the box office, totaling nearly 30 million US dollars.
In other words, the single-week box office in the two major markets of the United States and the United Kingdom alone exceeded the total investment cost. This performance made the global film industry go crazy.
Of course, if it wants to make money back, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" must exceed US$300 million.
But judging from the current single-week box office revenue, US$300 million is not the end at all!
Many well-known directors in Hollywood have spoken highly of this film, especially the matching of costumes and soundtrack, which reflects world-class standards.
Many film critics in the industry have predicted that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is expected to enter the billion-dollar box office club.
The data that the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars after its release in North America in a single week also proves that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" does have the potential to enter the billion-dollar club.
With the popularity of "Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone", the world has once again started a craze for traveling to the UK.
On the famous King's Road, platform nine and three-quarters, countless tourists from all over the world come here every day to admire the miracle.
The huge flow of people has also brought huge financial revenue to the British government. At the same time, the sales of the "Harry Potter" novels have once again increased rapidly. Taking advantage of the popular discussion among the people, Bloomsbury, UK
The publisher quickly released the already printed "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" to the public.
This is the fifth installment in the "Harry Potter" series, which has been completed a long time ago. In order to coincide with the release of the big movie, it was released after a year, which caused many Harry Potter fans to complain.
However, it is precisely because of the release of the movie that the attention and sales of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" have exploded.
For a time, Harry Potter became the most discussed word at the beginning of 2002.
Compared with the booming box office abroad, domestically, the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", like its novel version, has received an unexpectedly cold reception.
Although the box office performance still ranks among the top five domestically, compared to the novel's top-ranking performance abroad, it seems a bit unworthy of mention.
But even so, when the global box office total of "Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone" was released a month later, it still shocked the entire world of film circles.
The total box office was 920 million U.S. dollars, with the North American box office reaching nearly 300 million U.S. dollars and the overseas box office reaching 200 million U.S. dollars.
It is only one step away from the billion-dollar box office club.
With such a hot box office, theaters in various countries and regions will naturally provide additional screenings. Therefore, it is almost certain that the global box office will exceed one billion US dollars.
After this battle, the producer Warner Bros. made a lot of money, and the young actors in the play instantly became top-notch international actors. They were not willing to give in to the top actors in Hollywood, and they were weak in advertising endorsements.
They all have their own global fan clubs.
The huge success attracted huge attention, but due to contract regulations, the young actors were unable to film other films in a short period of time. Because of the huge box office returns, Warner Bros. immediately launched "Harry Potter"
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the second part of the series.
Although the prices of the leading actors have skyrocketed, and many film producers have offered sky-high contracts, the young actors ultimately chose to continue starring in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." The first reason is because they have already signed the contract, and the second reason is that the young actors
I really like the story of "Harry Potter".
Without "Harry Potter", there would be no contracts worth millions or tens of millions.
Therefore, when being interviewed by the media, all the cast and crew, including the director, expressed admiration when talking about Leesin, and respectfully added the title "teacher" when addressing him.
The popularity of "Harry Potter" has made Li Qing the most expensive playwright in the world
A production company offered a contract worth US$10,000 per word, hoping that Leesin could write a script for the company.
But unfortunately, Li Qing did not have any response to this.
At the same time, Hanhai Group also announced at the beginning of the new year that Leng Ling officially joined Hanhai Media and has begun to invest in the production of a new album. Compared with the aloofness of Yuanzheng and Wasp, after switching to Hanhai Media, Leng Ling continued to work hard.
Leng Ling has received many film contracts and advertising endorsements. In addition to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Leng Ling has also become the spokesperson for Shengshi Real Estate and Liu Laoji Herbal Tea. Among them, she has been on the scene of several newly opened land-class real estate projects by Shengshi Real Estate.
, causing an uproar in the industry for a while.
Many people in the industry are privately mocking the WASP culture. Didn't they say that Leng Ling doesn't accept any endorsements or perform in any commercials?
Your temper has changed just after changing owners. Is it because you are incompetent or because Hanhai is too powerful?
Many people also know the reason why Leng Ling is so positive.
So as expected, when April came, Leng Ling's new single "Fleeting Time" was released.
As soon as the single was released, it immediately detonated the major charts and triggered nationwide singing. Almost all major music radio stations were playing this single.
On campus, in squares, and in many public places, wherever there is a video player or loudspeaker, the song "We will meet on a narrow road in our lifetime, we will not be spared" will sound from time to time.
Leng Ling's popularity, which had hit rock bottom, was instantly revived by this song.
Leng Ling's name almost always appears in the top three positions on the major singer ranking lists.
This is the first collaboration between Li Qing and Leng Ling, and it is so stunning that it can be said to be the most stunning beauty in the world.
It coincides with the release of a new album by domestic first-tier singer Wang Weihong. However, as soon as "Fleeting Time" came out, almost all the new albums of first- and second-tier singers represented by Wang Weihong were wiped out in an instant.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.
The moving melody, delicate lyrics, and Leng Ling's extremely ethereal and heart-trembling singing voice of "Fleeting Time" finally shined the most dazzling light in this era.
Some media people commented: "If chasing stars can only be done once in a lifetime, then I would choose Leng Ling. In my memory, she has never disappeared, no matter how many times the waves roll, then I will choose Leng Ling."
Just keep standing at that peak and you will never be eliminated."
"Leng Ling's singing voice is unique. Her singing voice in any song, even a bad song, is melodious and will not make people tired. And her collaboration with Li Qing, in my opinion
It seems to be the collision of lightning and flint, and the sparks that burst out are the most brilliant and dazzling in the world."
"Leng Ling made the right choice to join Hanhai. She has been delayed for too long. The hornet cannot give her what she wants, but Hanhai can."
"There is no doubt that she is the darling of the times. From her debut to now, even the troughs in the past two years are not actually troughs. She was born for the music industry. I can't imagine not having Leng Ling's singing voice.
, how the world would be eclipsed."
Everyone is praising Leng Ling and "Fleeting Time".
But no one knows that this song, which is praised by the world and so popular that it has no friends, is actually a scratch paper that Li Qing's personal assistant Xue Yan accidentally discovered when sorting out Li Qing's office files.
The scratch paper is very worn, and the pen writing on it is scrawled and messy. Judging from the yellowing of the handwriting and the entire paper, it must be at least three years old.
But after all, it was the boss's thing. Xue Yan did not throw it away casually. Instead, she tidied it up and put it in the corner of the bookcase on the boss's desk, along with other messy draft papers, invoices, etc.
Clamped up.
And "Fleeting Time" is sandwiched in the top position.
Once, Leng Ling came to the company to sign a contract, and then he came to Li Qing's office by accident and accidentally saw the lyrics of "Fleeting Time".
When he vaguely read out from the scrawled pen calligraphy, "In my lifetime, we meet on a narrow road, we are inevitably unavoidable, and the palms of our hands suddenly grow tangled curves." Leng Ling only felt a flash of lightning flash through his mind, as if he had read this sentence in his previous life.
Just like the lyrics, I was instantly immersed in the artistic conception between the lines and couldn't extricate myself.
Until Zhou Shu found Leng Ling, this former queen had stood in front of the bookcase for nearly an hour.
At that time, Leng Ling had just joined Hanhai for more than a month, and the songs promised to Leng Ling in the contract were nowhere to be found. On the surface, Leng Ling didn't seem to be in a hurry. After all, she also knew that Li Qing was filming a movie abroad and had no time to worry about domestic affairs.
.
But after accidentally witnessing the lyrics of "Fleeting Time", she could no longer suppress her emotions in her heart. The next day, she asked Zhou Shu to call Li Qing, who was filming a movie in Mexico, and wanted to get "Fleeting Time"
The complete lyrics and music of.
The lyrics and music of "Fleeting Time" had been written a long time ago and were placed in a fixed safe, but the draft paper was crumpled into a ball by Li Qing. I remember throwing it in the trash can in the office, but he didn't want to be picked up by Xue Yan
Seeing this, Li Qing was greatly surprised.
It had been more than a month since Leng Ling joined Hanhai, but he still hadn't had the chance to meet Li Qing. Li Qing was quite apologetic about this. With this opportunity, he also felt that Leng Ling was destined to "Fleeting Time", so
Without giving it much thought, he gave the song to Leng Ling.
This is how "Fleeting Time" became popular all over the country.
And the popularity of "Fleeting Time" doesn't stop there.
In the music circles in Japan, South Korea, and even Europe and the United States, many foreign singers purchased the right to cover "Fleeting Time" in the following period.
It's just a pity that there is no one like Leng Ling in the world who can sing the charm of the song "Fleeting Time", as if this song was tailor-made for Leng Ling. No matter how distinctive other people's voices are, they can't achieve Leng Ling's.
The artistic conception and level of Ling's singing are one-tenth of the tenth.
Under this circumstance, more and more people are beginning to look forward to Leng Ling's new album.
After all, judging from the public contract amount, at least two of Leng Ling's new album's title songs must be Li Qing's works.
However, Li Qing still plays the role of the unknown infatuated lover "Jack" in a water tank in Mexico.
However, what is certain is that the plot filming of "Titanic" has entered the final stage.
The time span from the official start of filming to now is one year and five months. It can be said that this is the longest movie Li Qing has ever made.
The time came to mid-July of 2002.
It was finally announced that Lee Sin's role in "Titanic" has been completed, and the crew prepared a farewell party for Lee Sin.
In the hotel lobby, Emma held a wine glass and stepped onto the performance stage with a flushed face. Looking at Li Qing who was smiling and communicating with Scott in the audience, she held back the tears in her eyes and said loudly: "Is there still a chance to cooperate?
Jack."
Hearing Emma's voice, the originally jubilant hotel lobby suddenly fell silent. Hundreds of people in the entire crew watched this scene.
Many people looked at Emma in confusion.
Scott patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Answer well, Jack."
Hearing the name Jack, Li Qing opened his mouth, and finally turned around suddenly and said loudly: "Of course, Ruth, I hope that I will still have you in my next movie."
When Emma heard this, tears flowed down involuntarily: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
This scene was so shocking that the audience burst into endless applause.
In the audience, Han Han applauded and sniffed, eh?
What's going on with this inexplicable emotion? Shouldn't I be angry...
"It's easy to get into the movie but hard to get out of it. In total, from the time the crew was preparing to now, the filming of "Titanic" has been almost two years."
Scott held the champagne and said with emotion: "Coupled with the post-production special effects, dubbing recording, etc., I'm afraid it will take another two years before this movie is released. This is my longest film and also the longest."
A controversial work. From the beginning to now, I have always treated it like my own child. Now many people outside the world are badmouthing it, and I feel very uncomfortable. Oh, Leesin, as a starring actor and investor, if someone criticizes it
You, beat your child, what should you do?"
"Call back." Li Qing's answer was very concise.
"There is a saying in China that I have always been puzzled by and thought was a bit ridiculous, but now I probably understand it."
"What are you talking about?" Li Qing asked curiously
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
Scott shrugged and said: "But I think, if possible, I don't want to wait for ten minutes. I want to beat those bastards to the ground immediately."
