Chapter 669 Wu Jianye, a man who walks in miracles!~)
A total of 523,668 copies of "Harry Potter" were sold on the first day it was released!
On the second day, sales dropped off a cliff to 321,129 copies!
On the third day, 112,298 copies!
On the fourth day, sales fell below 100,000 copies for the first time, with only 89,251 copies!
The following two days were 75,569 and 71,198 respectively!
Just when everyone thought this book was destined to hit the streets, it suddenly experienced reverse growth on the seventh day, breaking through the 100,000-copy mark again, with sales reaching 145,445 copies!
When this data came out, even Sean was confused and quickly asked the company's employees to contact various bookstores. What was going on?
As a result, it was discovered that this novel was popular among children, and now the book buyers have changed from teenagers to children. Sean asked the company employees to pay close attention to the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
In fact, once this novel was discovered by children, his sales exploded.
"You don't even know Harry Potter, you are obviously a Muggle!" If the child doesn't know Harry Potter at this time, then he will be the target of discrimination.
So almost every day, countless children cry to their parents, "I don't want to be a Muggle, I want Harry Potter!"
So on the eighth day, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" more than doubled, returning to 300,000 sales.
The sales volume in the following days was also the same, and finally the daily sales volume was stabilized at 500,000!
Other companies that originally wanted to open champagne to celebrate were speechless after seeing this data. Such sales indicate that this novel will become a phenomenal novel.
In less than ten days, the sales volume of this novel reached 2.5 million. This is only the sales volume in North America. If you wait until it is released in Europe and other regions...
When everyone thought about this possibility, their eyes once again focused on Wu Jianye. At this time, the "Hollywood Report" published a report.
"Wu Jianye, a man walking in miracles!"
In the article, "The Hollywood Reporter" made a systematic report on Wu Jianye's development trajectory in North America, starting with the release of the "Jurassic Park" novel, and then the emergence of the global rock album "Turn Out".
There are also the results of "The Last Love" released this year, and the recently released "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
Before Wu Jianye appeared, we could not find any character whose development was similar to Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye, who was born in a rural area in China, was able to write a global best-selling novel before he came to North America.
The novel "Jurassic Park" was released, and so far, the sales volume of the novel "Jurassic Park" still dominates the list of the top ten science fiction novels in the world.
"Born Out of the Sky" ranks first in the history of global rock album sales. According to the information obtained by this newspaper, Wu Jianye had never been exposed to music before writing "Born Out of the Sky"...
Before the release of "The Last Days", almost no one was optimistic about it, but this movie has now set a global box office record...
This is a big man who likes to explode in adversity. Although his works are not many, each of them is extremely sensational. He makes people understand that there are really geniuses in this world...
.
When "Harry Potter" was a sensation when it was launched, there was a cliff-like decline. When everyone thought that his miracles would no longer exist, reality once again taught us a lesson. All of us have forgotten, "Haha"
Before the novel "Libert and the Philosopher's Stone" was released, Wu Jianye had already said that it was a gift for children.
In fact, this is indeed the best gift for children during the summer vacation...
By the way, as I write this article, my son is quietly watching "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Oh my god, you know how hard I tried to let him
Can you stay quietly like this?
.......
As soon as this report appeared, it immediately caused a huge sensation in North America. At the same time, this report also listed the movies "Home Alone 1", "Die Hard 1", and "The Lion King" in which Wu Jianye participated as a screenwriter.
, the box office of movies such as "Speed".
Up to now, Wu Jianye has never failed. If only the Hollywood production company knew about these things before, now when the "Hollywood Report" reported all this, everyone suddenly realized that Wu Jianye was already like this
Awesome!
Suddenly, Wu Jianye became a hot topic in the United States, and everyone was talking about him.
It was under this environment that Wu Jianye led the front and backstage staff of "Jurassic Park" to hold a press conference for "Jurassic Park"!
Compared with the press conference of "The Love of Ghosts", there were more reporters here, and their attitudes towards each other were much kinder.
This is the media. When you are not doing well, they are the ones who step on you the most. When you are at the top of your game, they are the ones who kneel down and lick you the most!
For example, "Hollywood Reporter" was the one that Wu Jian Ye Hei hated the most before, but now it is also the one that licks the most.
"Director Wu, we all know that the daily sales of the novel "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" have reached 700,000. Can you tell us how you came up with the idea of creating a novel with such a theme?" "Hollywood"
Report" Jedi still looked tepid.
Although it was a press conference for "Jurassic Park", the hottest news about Wu Jianye now was "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", so the first questions reporters asked at the scene were all about "Harry Potter"
News about "Special and the Philosopher's Stone".
Wu Jianye did not answer any of the questions.
"Of course it's because my child has been born. When he was born, I was thinking about what kind of gift I could give him. Later, when I came to Hollywood to shoot a movie, I saw a girl wearing
I thought of this story when I was a little girl wearing a witch costume!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Father-son love, mother-son love, love, these are always the mainstream in Hollywood. Wu Jianye's answer naturally made the reporters at the scene very satisfied.
The press conference at this time was full of emotions, but everyone understood that this was just the beginning, and the questions that followed could not always be like this. Although Wu Jianye had filmed "The Love of Humans and Ghosts", he
After all, he is not someone like Spielberg or Lucas.
They have established their current status with one successful movie after another. The shortcoming of Wu Jianye is that he has too few movie works in Hollywood, only one, and no one knows what will happen next.
"Director Wu, we all know that the movie "Jurassic Park" is a pure science fiction movie, which is different from any movie you have directed before. I would like to ask, if you change the theme of the movie like this, how can
Aren't you worried that you won't adapt to the local environment?" Jedi's question gradually became sharper.
He didn't like the company's previous reports on Wu Jianye. In his opinion, Wu Jianye's success was largely accidental and was nothing to brag about, even if his company asked him not to be as sharp as before.
, he still couldn't help it.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I remember that the last time we held a meeting about the movie "The Love of Ghosts", you came to interview on behalf of "The Hollywood Reporter". At that time, I remembered that you said that your "Hollywood Reporter"
"I have never missed it. Facts have proven that you were wrong. Do you still choose to doubt me now?"
Jedi didn't change his expression because of Wu Jianye's sarcasm. If a reporter would show an embarrassed expression after being sarcastic, then he wouldn't be able to be a reporter.
"One mistake doesn't mean anything. The success of "The Last Days" was actually a lot of accidental. When it was released, the only competitor for "The Last Days" was "Back to the Future 3."
Coupled with the operation of Phantom Entertainment, this movie has been shown on more than 4,000 screens in the United States. If there is such support, it will be difficult for this movie to succeed!" Jedi naturally has his own way of saying it!
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "What about "Back to the Future 3"? I remember that he has more screens than "The Last Days"!"
Jedi still said calmly: "In fact, "Back to the Future 3" did not fail. Its box office has actually reached the expected level."
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "There is a saying in China that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. I look forward to seeing you after the release of "Jurassic Park" is over!"
Many reporters in the audience laughed. Most of them had participated in the press conference of the movie "The Last Days", so they knew that Jedi was not optimistic about "The Last Days" either.
Wu Jianye also said this at that time. I hope to see you again after the movie is released!
Jedi remained calm and said: "I will come!"
Schreck from "Vanity Fair" also picked up the microphone at this time and asked Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, the actors currently starring in the movie "Jurassic Park" are not very famous in North America.
, for such a big-budget movie, but you chose actors who are not suitable for it. Is it because of Director Spielberg and others that you can't invite more suitable actors?"
Samnir and the others felt a surge of anger in their hearts, but they still maintained smiles on their faces.
"Vanity Fair" This is such a shameless look down on them!
Wu Jianye said: "When making a movie, it doesn't depend on who is famous. The movie will be good. My movie only chooses the most suitable actors, not the most expensive ones. In their hearts, Sam and the others are the best actors. It's just that there are few actors."
It’s just a chance!”
Schreck continued to ask: "We all know that the heroine of this movie, Ms. Zhu Yan, is your wife, Director Wu. As an actress who has never proven herself in Hollywood, you chose her to be the star of your movie."
Heroine, can we consider you to be nepotistic?"
The peaceful spring breeze before had long since disappeared, replaced by a violent storm.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Obviously you didn't listen carefully to my answer just now. I said that I only choose the most suitable actors for my movies, and in my heart Zhu Xia is the most suitable female lead for this movie. At the time, I
When writing "Jurassic Park", the female lead was based on Zhu Xi!"
These reporters have to eat this wave of dog food even if they don’t want to.
Zhu Hao sat there with a gentle and generous smile, as if she had not heard the question just now, but in fact, before the press conference was held today, Wu Jianye had already asked Zhu Hao
I took a look at the peeing habits of North American journalists, which is why Zhu Hao is now able to be so calm and generous.
"The movie "Jurassic Park" has been promoting to the audience that it will restore the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period, but as of now, Phantom Entertainment has not released any images of dinosaurs. Now some people are spreading the news that in the digital field
I haven't created a dinosaur model yet, are you worried?"
Wu Jianye replied: "I don't know where these rumors came from. The special effects production in the digital field has been very smooth. I believe that when the movie is released, it will definitely bring a powerful visual experience to the global audience."
Senses!”
"Audiences around the world, so Director Wu's film will still choose to be released simultaneously around the world?"
"certainly!"
.......
After Schreck's question ended, Variety's Savannah also stood up and asked: "Director Wu, Director Spielberg has also mentioned before that his new film "Captain Hook" will also be in theaters.
It will be released next year, are you worried that "Jurassic Park" will be released at the same time as "Captain Hook"?"
The feud between Wu Jianye and Spielberg and others is no longer a secret. Everyone knows that Spielberg shot "Captain Hook" to use it against Wu Jianye's "Jurassic Park"
, so many people are waiting to watch a good show!
"There's nothing to worry about. Instead of worrying about other people's works, it's better to shoot your own movie well and make it worthy of every audience who pays for the ticket. This is what a director should be most concerned about!" Wu Jianye replied.
"Previously, Director Spielberg, Director Lucas and others have made remarks one after another, saying that the shooting of science fiction films is different from other types of films and cannot be controlled by just anyone. Director Wu, you have great confidence in yourself.
Are you worried?"
"No!"
The subsequent questions also revolved around Wu Jianye's "Jurassic Park" and his opponent Spielberg's "Captain Hook".
Nowadays, reporters very much hope to see Wu Jianye and Spielberg fighting against each other again. However, it is obvious that Wu Jianye was not fooled. The relationship between him and Spielberg is a personal grudge.
The popularity is enough, there is no need to have many scoldings over it, and the identity will be lost in vain.
After the press conference, Wu Jianye announced to the crew that the time to go to Kauai for filming gave many creators two days of preparation time. Two days later, the "Jurassic Park" crew will officially go to Kauai for filming.
Photography.
"worn out!"
After returning home, Zhu Xie collapsed on the sofa.
The old lady walked by and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you go say a few words and then it's over? Why are you still so tired?"
