Chapter 1277 1379. Now showing

The first-day box office of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in mainland China was quickly released. The figure of 297 million was not beyond anyone's expectations. This is the box office figure that this movie should have.

Rowling's magic series is still expected by countless fans and book fans, and Nie Wei's works as a director still maintain a strong box office appeal.

In North America, the first-day box office figure of the movie was also 37 million US dollars. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office champion of the week will inevitably be won by this movie.

In the UK, there is also a box office data of 15 million pounds.

The box office response in other European countries is very good. Among the 20 countries that released the movie at the same time, more than 90% of them can firmly win the honor of the box office champion of the week.

With the release of the movie, the discussion about the movie on the Internet has also reached a climax.

The first and most popular discussion is naturally about the magical animals in the movie.

This is the biggest feature of this movie. Rowling's original Harry Potter mainly describes those magical magics, such as levitation and transfiguration, but in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Rowling blurred the concept of magic and poured more content on magical animals.

Even in several battles in the movie, the male protagonist relied on the abilities of magical animals to defeat his opponents.

After the movie was broadcast, this intention was naturally not ignored by the audience.

"The Niffler is naughty but very cute, the Bowtruckle is Newt's intimate little cotton-padded jacket, and I was completely shocked when Thunderbird appeared. Of course, our Chinese Rolling is indispensable. It can be cute and fierce. I finally saw the power of the legendary Chiyou's mount. Thumbs up."

When Nie Wei saw this comment, he couldn't help laughing.

Rolling is his private goods. The prototype is the Chinese panda. Of course, in the movie, Rolling is a cute creature that is usually "lazy and cute, acting cute and pitiful", but on the battlefield, it becomes a god of war who can control the "black and yellow qi".

In the final battle, Gun Gun protected many people from the danger of the out-of-control Mo Mo Ran.

The audience thought that this was a benefit that JK Rowling wrote specifically for the Chinese audience, but they didn't know that this was actually added by Nie Wei when he was writing the script. Of course, JK Rowling was very welcome to the addition of this little animal. After all, the prototype is a panda, and people all over the world like pandas.

Nie Wei has been committed to mixing Chinese elements in movies in recent years. At first, some audiences didn't understand, but as Hollywood movies mixed with Chinese elements became mainstream, Nie Wei's doing so has become a very normal phenomenon.

There are even fans who suggest that Nie Wei add more Chinese elements. Many people are very curious about the mysterious China. They usually use text descriptions to imagine it in general, but movies are different. They are more intuitive and easier for everyone to accept.

This is also what Nie Wei and even many Chinese filmmakers hope to see. Cultural identity is the key to a movie going global.

"Fantastic Beasts are so interesting. I liked these legendary magical creatures when I watched Harry Potter before, but there was too little content about these magical creatures in the plot. This time I had a great time."

"When will the magical beasts figurines be released? My wallet is thirsty. Just as the new January is coming, even if I eat instant noodles and steamed buns, I will put all the magical beasts peripherals in my pocket."

"Doesn't the Star Group have a game business? Haven't you thought about making this movie into a game? The concept of magical beasts should be quite interesting. Maybe it can become another "Pokémon" that is popular all over the world."

The audience naturally can't forget the peripherals. In fact, when the movie was just being prepared, the peripherals were already placed in the top priority.

Just like Pokémon has created tens of billions of economic benefits in recent years, Nie Wei can naturally see the huge value behind these magical beasts.

So before the filming of the movie started, Nie Wei had already negotiated the copyright of these magical beasts with JK Rowling.

And the Star Group owns the copyright of the magical beasts that appear in the five planned films, and can produce peripherals, games and other works.

There is nothing much to say about the surroundings. After years of development, the industry has become very mature. The model is also made by the team of Fanxing Company. It only needs to find a factory with sufficient craftsmanship.

As for the game, Fanxing Company will naturally not miss it.

However, this project is not a traditional computer game or mobile game, but is led by Liu Jing, who decided to make a VR game that is unique to Fanxing's next VR device.

The design of the game itself is similar to Pokemon, mainly capturing magical animals on a daily basis, and there is also a battle mode. Combined with the powerful performance of the latest Fanxing VR, the game department and the marketing department both think that this plan has great potential.

Nie Wei also nodded in agreement after knowing it. Some types are to try, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there may be stones piercing your feet, or you may be flooded, but if you don't try, then you will never cross this river. When the river rises, you will be drowned.

Apple crossed this river, but Nokia, Sony, and Motorola did not dare to cross the river, so they were all drowned on the other side, but Apple gained countless benefits because of crossing the river.

Of course, there are also those who have the courage to cross the river, but accidentally fall into the water, such as HTC, which has now started to pawn its mobile phone industry. With this previous experience, Nie Wei will let the company do risk assessment as much as possible after trying, but courage cannot be lost. Without this courage, there is no qualification to eat the biggest cake in this emerging market.

HTC dares to burn its boats, so Nie Wei, who has a lot of idle funds, is even more fearless.

VR market, and even further virtual reality technology, these are Nie Wei's goals. This is different from his long-term speculation and making money by relying on future memories. Instead, he really wants to fight to the death with those world-class technology companies.

So in recent years, Fanxing Company has also become a "global talent plan" and a "student training plan". On the one hand, it collects genius-level figures from all over the world, and on the other hand, it selects outstanding students from all over the world for training. Fanxing Company has also set up a fund for these two plans. The first batch of investment is 1 billion yuan, and then there will be at least 1 billion yuan investment every year.

In Nie Wei's opinion, talent is the most precious. Now it seems that the huge investment is not proportional to the output, but when the harvest comes in the future, we will know that the current investment is just a drizzle, how worthwhile it is.

Fantastic Beasts is a big attraction for the audience, so the actors have also attracted a lot of attention.

Like Nina and Joseph, they really felt what it means to be truly popular overnight. Invitations from major TV shows are just the most basic. There are also countless scripts, countless commercial performances and endorsements. Joseph is okay. He was the only actor in the company and never lacked resources, but for the "wild" Nina, she really felt like she was dreaming the most beautiful dream.

Those famous stores that she usually dared not set foot in now came to her door to sponsor her. Those brand clothes that she used to buy only with gritted teeth, now she can wear them at will, and she will have a share of the new products of each season.

And all she needs to do is to wear these clothes to attend an event and stand in front of the billboard to take pictures for reporters, and she can even receive a considerable amount of commercial performance fees.

It is worth mentioning that her salary has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

When she starred in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", her salary for a movie was only 800,000 US dollars, which is the most basic salary for Hollywood protagonists.

Now, the company's external offer has reached 5 million US dollars. With such a high number, there are still more than a dozen scripts coming to the door, which shows Nina's popularity now.

The night she felt the popularity, she hid at home and cried all night. At the age of 30, she finally became completely popular. The excitement, excitement and unknown bitterness in her heart made her feel mixed.

She was grateful to Nie Wei for giving her this opportunity, and she kept praising her witty choice at the time.

As for the guy who was pitted by Nina, he is still in prison now. Nina has no guilt at all. It was the other party's fault. She just chose to stand on the side of justice.

In addition to Nina, the little fat man like Hill is also soaring in popularity. As the most popular CP combination in the movie, his combination with another actress has become the sweet representative of this month.

However, due to his image, he received more food-related advertisements. For example, KFC and McDonald's both invited him to be the spokesperson. Of course, bakeries are also indispensable. For example, the well-known American bakery chain Panera also wants him to be the spokesperson. As for the snacks, there are too many of them, and he himself can't count them.

Although these endorsements don't sound very high-end, the income is not small. If Hill accepts all of them, the money he earns is not less than Nina.

However, the actor who benefited the most is actually Joseph.

Not only did his net worth soar, but the key is that through this time playing Newt, his acting skills were affirmed by many people, and there have been many comments on the Internet recently that affirm his acting skills.

"I always thought that Joseph could only play the kind of handsome guy, the kind who wears a suit and is either very cool or a playboy. I didn't expect that this movie would let me see his innocent side. Newt's shyness and cuteness in front of Tina really look like my first boyfriend."

"Joseph's acting skills in this movie gave me too many surprises. The awkwardness when communicating with people, and the radiant look when communicating with animals, even the stuttering turned into a chatterbox. This contrast is so interesting that I remembered Newt, the magical animal expert, all of a sudden."

"Nina is really very beautiful. Cutting her hair short gave me a refreshing feeling. She is really suitable for this retro dress. She has a more mature style, but also a conservative feeling of that era. As soon as she appeared, I felt a heartbeat, and I felt that she and Joseph had a special CP feeling."

"???"

When Joseph saw the comment below his social account, he silently clicked the delete key.

The relationship between him and Nina was still awkward. Although the misunderstanding had been resolved, Joseph was somewhat at a loss for what to do about the damage caused by the misunderstanding. Nina did not seem to be generous enough to forgive him, and the two of them basically had no communication in private.

Fortunately, they were all professional actors, so it did not affect them during filming. Moreover, Joseph himself might not have noticed that he was now particularly concerned about Nina's reaction.

In Nie Wei's opinion, this guy may have some thoughts in his mind, but he may not even realize it.

As for Nina, she is a strong woman. When she works, she really devotes herself to work. She can work at least 20 hours a day. The company even specially made a work schedule for her to force her to rest. The key is that she never complains even though she is so tired. She is simply the best employee in the eyes of the boss.

And this woman seems to have a special sense of crisis, which is reflected in her desire for money.

If the company hadn't stopped her, she would really accept all those commercial performances and endorsements. She seems to always have a sense of crisis that she will go bankrupt and wander the streets at any time, so she works hard to make money.

This is a short-sighted behavior. Too many commercial performances and endorsements will over-consume the value of stars, and here we have to mention another advantage of her, that is, obedience.

When the company told her about the long-term plan for the future, she no longer asked for more commercial performances and endorsements.

Nie Wei knew that she actually just wanted to give herself a guarantee. Perhaps it was family problems when she was a child, or it might be that her long period of obscurity had left her with a psychological shadow. She always lacked a sense of security and seemed overwhelmed by the sudden popularity. So after the company gave her a certain guarantee, she could immediately feel at ease.

The audience quickly moved from the novelty of the Fantastic Beasts, the actors, and even the props and costumes in the play to the movie itself.

A day later, there were many more overall reviews of the movie itself on the Internet.

Most of the audience gave positive comments, especially Harry Potter fans, who gave a very high evaluation of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Some people said that it completely inherited the style of Harry Potter and filled the gap in the hearts of Harry Potter fans.

They asked Nie Wei to finish the second part as soon as possible and release it as soon as possible. They couldn't wait to see the next sequel.

However, there were praises and criticisms. Just as Haidao said, this film was too orthodox and too commercial, which made some fans who expected surprises feel a little regretful after watching it.

Of course, the overall evaluation was good, and the high scores on professional film review websites were enough to prove it all.

Moreover, this movie broke Nie Wei's personal record since he became a director.
