Chapter 522 The output value brought by culture

"This movie can be said to be full of aesthetic interests such as magic and witchcraft, suspense and exploration, history and legend. When it is still a text, readers will involuntarily immerse themselves in this artistic conception intertwined by fantasy and reality. Now it has become a vivid sound and picture plot, and it still uses the most advanced movie special effects, which is enough to attract people to enter the theater."

"When humans evaluate a thing, they often like to start from their own interests and interests. Before the movie is released, jealous people criticize the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for being too naive, causing older viewers to fall asleep in the theater."

"This view is not unreasonable, the movie is indeed childish."

"But no matter Ryan's screenwriter or Chris Columbus' directing, he also took care of adult audiences. Looking at the complete collection of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", most adults can definitely watch it with relish."

"The movie always revolves around the life and learning experience of the protagonist Harry Potter. From another perspective, what attracts the audience the most may not be the plot, characters, imagination, audio-visual pleasure, and the sense of group identity when sharing common topics, but the growth inspirational film mode hidden under the cloak of fantasy."

"The experience at Hogwarts Magic School can be said to be the 'an educational model of another world' imagined by Ryan. Perhaps even he himself did not realize what kind of practical significance the inspirational learning process like Harry has for the real world."

"Looking at the world, this kind of inspirational mapping projected from popular cultural products is so urgent. Our children's literature and film and television have many campus environments, but those naive or naive campuses can no longer keep up with the drastic changes in the campus situation."

"This is the impact of the changes of the times."

"Anyway, at least through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the future generation of our country can understand that "evil" like Voldemort is not only everywhere, but also a part closely related to itself. Their growth is a process of comprehensive understanding of "good and evil."

"The United States needs this kind of movie. The whole world needs this kind of movie. Ryan and Chris Columbus teamed up to contribute an epoch-making movie to us!"

This is a comment from the Teachers and Parents Federation published by the New York Times after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone landed in North America. It has a positive voice for the film and even gave some inexplicable meanings for Ryan and Columbus.

"Movies can always be interpreted with all kinds of meanings."

Sitting in the living room of the villa in Kensington District, Nicole put down the newspaper in her hand and asked Ryan opposite her, "Did you think so when you wrote a novel?"

"Dear, you should know why I wrote this novel." Ryan spread his hands.

"Ryan was a pauper at that time."

Taylor, sitting on the sofa with Emma Watson in his arms, gave an explanation, "Well... Nicole is not much better. The two poor people are said to have owed a large debt."

Hearing the little girl's words, Ryan and Nicole looked at each other with a smile, as if recalling the years when they met, but their sweet eyes lasted for only a few seconds, and the light blue eyes showed a sharp needle-like sharpness.

“So boring.”

Emma Watson held his chin and pressed on Taylor's shoulder, "When I went out today, dozens of reporters came around, and my brother was frightened. God, how can I go out to play in the future."

"Also, starting tomorrow, I'm going to promote it with the crew, which is simply terrible." Her little face wrinkled.

"Poor Emma." Taylor touched her with his forehead. "Fortunately I am still free now. I decided to enjoy the freedom on behalf of everyone. I want to go to Burger King, and I want to have a beef burger."

"Don't you hate fast food?" Ryan asked strangely.

"It's different now. Burger King has become a Harry Potter world." The little girl stood up with Emma and said with a high nose. "I'm not burger, but Harry Potter culture. Do you understand, Ryan?"

"Dear. I promise." Ryan pointed out outside the villa, "As long as you go out, there will definitely be dozens of paparazzi following you."

"Okay, I understand." Taylor knew that this was the truth, so he sat down again dejectedly.

Walking across and filling the two little guys with juice, Ryan simply sat next to Nicole, while Emma Watson on the other side talked about some of the situations he had seen when he came over.

"Alison didn't know the situation inside Burger King at all. She listened to me." The two little girls laughed and said, "When I came to Burger King to buy breakfast. The store was filled with various peripheral products of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Inside and outside the store, there were posters, cups, plates, and figure models with images... I was shocked at that time and thought I had entered the set."

"I didn't expect the movie to be paired with such an event." Emma Watson was also a smart girl, showing a thoughtful look, "But one thing is absolutely certain. Everyone in the queue bought the Burger King Harry Potter package."

“Those are nothing.”

Taylor acted like a teacher to teach students. In this regard, she could indeed be the teacher of other children. "Do you know, Emma, ​​I called in Los Angeles this morning. Ryan just had a job with Johnson & Johnson, Cadbury, and..."

The little girl suddenly couldn't remember the specific name, so she simply waved her hand and said, "Anyway, many messy companies have reached some authorizations, with a total amount of up to 50 million US dollars."

"Alison?" Ryan couldn't help looking at her.

"Sorry." The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, showing a embarrassed look, "I didn't mean it. I happened to pass by the study and heard you were calling... Well, Nicole can prove it."

Shaking his head helplessly, Ryan made a shut-up gesture to her, and she and Emma Watson covered their mouths at the same time.

In fact, these authorizations with time authority are nothing more than the use of images and other rights. Now that he has Disney, whether it is TV copyright, DVD video tape distribution, or doll manufacturing and sales, it can be digested internally, and this way it can maximize profits.

Unlike Warner who bought out most of the copyrights in his previous life, Ryan now has almost all the copyrights. Although the partners definitely enjoy the power to share the share, he is the biggest beneficiary.

"Honey."

After the two little girls asked Harry Potter why he made money so much, Nicole, who was studying the original work of "Yi Shi", pushed it over without hesitation, "You should ask Ryan more about this kind of question."

The two little girls were quarreling with each other, full of curiosity and curiosity.

Taylor was a little better. After all, she was influenced by her since childhood. Although she was interested in gossip, she was confused and understood a little. As for Miss Emma Watson, she was completely a layman.

"Ryan, didn't you say that if I didn't succeed in singing in the future, I would just leave the film company to me for operation?"

Faced with the curiosity of my dear sister, Ryan had to simply say, "In today's time when the cultural industry is becoming more and more ideological and capital will, any cultural product will evolve into a cultural event and cultural phenomenon, it will surely become a commodity with high economic value."

Taylor nodded in a slight way, while Emma Watson shook his head directly.

Ryan mainly said it for Taylor, and it doesn't matter whether he understands it or not. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone may become a transnational cultural event and cultural phenomenon. The cultural vortex it can form will absorb public attention like a tornado, and the consumer group it mainly faces..."

Rubbing the head of the little guy lying on the sofa, Ryan continued, "It's just a minor like you, my dear, if you're attracted by Hermione's wand and want to get a copy, then Nicole and I will definitely pay..."

"It's a pity that there is no dragon heart string inside." Taylor said casually first, and then said seriously, "I think I understand. You are mainly making money from your children."

This childish words that pointed directly at the essence immediately made Ryan and Nicole laugh at the same time.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released in both the United Kingdom and the United States and even at the same time, causing an absolute sensational effect, especially when it was released before Christmas, and became the first choice for watching movies on countless family festivals.

As for the critics, if someone really competes with such a family-friendly movie, then the only one who is ridiculed is himself.

As the New York Times said, movies may be a little boring for some adults, but they will never be unable to watch them. A child audience often means two or more movie tickets.

In particular, the novel "Harry Potter" was published nearly ten years earlier than in the previous life, and it has cultivated many fans. Many people over the age of 20 are also those who grew up reading this series, and they have special feelings for it. They have also become a group of people who actively buy tickets.

And Ryan's staunch supporters...

Because Ryan once said that Hermione's position in his heart is as important as Harry Potter, after the movie was released, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe became the focus of media attention and reporting.

Now the girl with a little rabbit teeth is extremely cute. Emma inevitably attracted a group of uncle audiences, which can be regarded as an alternative contribution to the movie.

When December 24 approached, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" unexpectedly took the throne of the North American box office rankings, and the third movie in history that had a box office of over 100 million in North America week was born, with an amount of $113.05 million.
