For a long series of movies, the second and third movies are the most important. The success of the first movie is likely to be just a coincidence, but even so, the second movie can give everyone the inertia of watching movies, but if the second movie If the audience who was originally attracted by the first part is disappointed - then even if the film and television company has plans to launch a third part, it will repeatedly consider it and even seek changes - such as changing important supporting roles, changing directors, etc. If the third part is If the three parts still can't awaken everyone's love for this series, then this series will probably end with the trilogy. ¡¨Q It now seems that the reference for "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is obviously the "Harry Potter" series. J.K. Rowling has finished writing the sixth part in 2005 and is currently completing the most difficult ending part. It will probably be available to everyone in the middle of 2007. Non-English speaking areas will need to wait for the translated version, which will probably be a few months later. As for the third film, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," after Alfonso Cuaron's preparation, the subsequent parts of "Harry Potter" can probably be made by any director of above level. Hundreds of millions in box office. After "Magic Apprentice" experienced the surprise of the first part, it is obvious that it will also face such a test in the second and subsequent third parts. The only worry for Sony and Columbia is that Shen Zhenghui is too fast. Before they had time to make adjustments based on box office feedback, he was almost finished filming the six-part film, so they could only wait uneasily for the market to respond. The acceptance of Shen Zhenghui's works is pure. But even so, the box office results far exceeded Sony and Columbia's expectations. After all, Sony and Columbia are different. Although they are both ranked among the top six, Sony has never been able to find a series of movies that can support its business. Until the emergence of "Spider-Man", it is obvious that relying only on one "Spider-Man" Far from enough, Sony and Columbia themselves are unwilling to spend huge sums of money to invest in new series of movies. This is too risky. While you may hit the jackpot like Disney discovered Pirates of the Caribbean, you may also lose your pants like MGM. Sony has always been aggressive in the film industry with its wealth, but when it comes time to make a profit, it shrinks its eggs and needs to find a partner to share the risks. I would rather earn less. But on the other hand, if it weren't for Kasuga, Shen Zhenghui might not have the heart to shoot a movie like "The Magic Apprentice" for a Hollywood company. Even if the film has already been formed in his mind, if he can't find a cooperation in Hollywood The issuing unit, Shen Zhenghui's rationality will definitely warn him not to take such a big risk. Now, due to various reasons, the movie was released as scheduled and achieved the highly anticipated results. China¡¯s film industry has released its box office results in the first week. Some well-known directors came out and wailed: Shen Zhenghui is not at the same level as our domestic directors. They don't want to play with mainland directors at all, even if you are Zhang X, Chen X, or Feng X. These words are too hateful and do not meet the requirements of spiritual civilization construction. The instructions from superiors on the propaganda caliber are: Shen Zhenghui is Chinese, and his achievements are also the achievements of Chinese people. He was educated and grew up in China. So his success is also the result of Chinese education and environmental influence, of course. Making a fortune in Japan is a matter of personal opportunity. If you think you have talent, you can invest in making your own movies! China¡¯s film industry is deepening reform and lacks experience on the road to commercialization, but aren¡¯t our three major directors now trying to cross the river by feeling the stones? Great achievements have been made in commercialization. Of course, Shen Zhenghui's achievements are even greater. This is because he is young, has flexible thinking and dares to innovate. At present, several major domestic directors cannot compare with him because of his age, but look at it, didn't "Crazy Stone", which Shen Zhenghui and Liu Tianwang supported young directors, have a domestic box office of over 100 million? The young director only spent a few million on the film. There is no guarantee that he will be Shen Zhenghui again in the future. So you, a bunch of young directors, criticize us for not giving you a chance, which is why the level of Chinese movies is low. This is complete nonsense. A batch of your movies have already been released from the ban. Have any of your movies reached a box office of 100 million? In other words, is there any box office that reaches 10 million? Look, the same young people, why have others achieved such results? This is obviously because you went astray! You should summarize carefully what represents the direction of advanced culture and what represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Combined with other people's filming speed, you also need to do an in-depth study on what are the development requirements of advanced productivity. The hungry market is screaming! Do you think "Magic Apprentice 2" broke the record again? ??Chinese audiences are concerned about sitting in a Chinese cinema and watching a film written by a Chinese, directed by a Chinese, but with a Western theme and starring Western actors, and in name onlyThe feeling of a co-produced movie is quite subtle. In a sense, the official seems to have lost all moral integrity. The official turned a blind eye to Enleko's male or female setting and continued to promote that we did not cut the scene - yes, the Chinese version did not cut the scene. , but the version shown elsewhere was several minutes longer than the Chinese version, and netizens soon began to publicize this fact online. The self-censorship of the cut scenes actually doesn't hurt, since the film hopes to achieve all-age ratings. No matter how some bigots curse the censorship authorities or distributors online, nothing can stop this movie from rising at the box office. In fact, when the first week's box office results came out, both Sony and Columbia breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that the third film would get the same recognition. This means that even if Shen Zhenghui makes the next three films into rubbish, it will still be enough to attract the audience. Money. At least when the full box office of the second part comes out, Sony and Columbia will realize that the next four parts are pure profits. It¡¯s no wonder that reviews compare ¡°The Sorcerer¡¯s Apprentice¡± to ¡°Harry Potter,¡± even though the first part of ¡°The Sorcerer¡¯s Apprentice¡±, ¡°Sophine¡¯s Mission,¡± is far less famous than ¡°Harry Potter¡± because of ¡°The Sorcerer¡¯s Apprentice¡± For this reason, the box office of 690 million US dollars cannot be compared with the 975 million US dollars of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". However, you must know that "Harry Potter" was filmed under the attention of the whole world, and it was determined before filming that it was It¡¯s a business that¡¯s guaranteed to make a profit, and the only question is how much to make. Although "The Magic Apprentice" also has a preview of the novel, it is because of the Chinese author. It is impossible to reach the craze of "Harry Potter". It is entirely because the animation of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" unexpectedly became popular in the UK and spread to Europe and the United States. This attracted enough attention, but this was also very limited. On the contrary It is better to say that the success of the "Magic Apprentice" movie has in turn influenced the further expansion of novels and cartoons. Several channels promoted each other, and finally ushered in a general explosion in the second part. By the time the movie was released from the United States, the box office in North America had reached US$400 million, just below the US$423 million of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", ranking second in the annual box office rankings. This result is simply astonishing. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is simply a miracle. Who would have expected that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is not much worse than it. If you check the history of North American film, you will also find that. "The Apprentice - Part 1" ranks only behind "The Lion King", "Spider-Man" and "Jurassic Park", and it has obviously become a phenomenal movie. The $879 million disparity between "The Lord Envoy (Part 1)" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has only deepened the idea that they are entangled with "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Harry Potter". Like "Harry Potter", the overseas performance of "The Wizard's Apprentice" is even better than the box office in North America. According to the box office statistics outside North America, the box office of "The Wizard's Apprentice: The Imperial Envoy (Part 1)" has reached 490 million. In addition to the popularity in Europe, China and Japan also contributed to the huge box office. Thailand was also a shock, with Mario once again breaking the Thai box office record with this movie. I believe that after the filming of the six parts is completed, there will be six new positions in the top ten of Thai film records. The box office in China (excluding Taiwan and Hong Kong) reached 50 million U.S. dollars. China Film Corporation was so full that there were a lot of criticisms of the film's unhealthy ideology in China and called for a ban on the sequel. To be honest . Shen Zhenghui was also very unsure about the confusion between men and women in the original work. And the box office in Japan is simply a miracle. I don¡¯t understand why the Japanese also love this theme so much. Maybe it¡¯s because there are also novels, animations and animations. Japan contributed the highest box office outside the United States, reaching US$130 million. In the middle period of 2006. In the absence of the release of "Harry Potter", many people have shifted their expectations for "Harry Potter" to "The Magic Apprentice". But objectively speaking, the second part can be said to be the most interesting part of the entire "Magic Apprentice" story. As a member of the mission, Enleco shouldered the important task of staying in Kaaoch. King Si III used the title of Imperial Envoy, and Horkels hoped to use Enleco's talent (this is a misunderstanding, not a misunderstanding) to promote reforms in the entire country. Lan Jing's description of Enleco's reforms in Kaaoch absorbs the shadow of many events in history. Objectively speaking, although this is a purely commercial novel and also a purely commercial movie, in the In this part, many events that have occurred in history reappear like shadows, which distances the theme of the entire story from ordinary magician stories. Even the description of this story is just a cut out of real history and completely false. However, if such a performance can arouse everyone's interest in real history and stimulate discussion, then the significance of this movie will be on more than one level. Of course, many?We can also see Shen Zhenghui's intentions, but this may be because they don't have time to read the original book. In fact, Lan Jing's description of this plot has faintly revealed the cruel truth hidden in the gorgeous background of the story. But ordinary viewers have no intention of thinking about these things that are irrelevant to their lives. What they care more about is the magical magic shown by Enleco. Miss Fenacia's women's clothing is so charming that men can't control themselves. Caught up in the great tragedy of fate and the curse of his family, Haguero focuses on the glamorous, unaware of the underbelly of society that serves entirely as background and supporting character. And this simple socio-political and economic description is nothing more than a subconscious manifestation of Lan Jing¡¯s anti-thief ideology, which has been deeply influenced by the party-state education for many years. But journalists with a different sense of smell used their unique posture to smell out the rancid smell of socialist education, so while Hollywood was still discussing this idea of ??leaving a name on the U.S. box office rankings, it also put its own mark on the world movie box office rankings. When the Chinese director was discussing what achievements this Chinese would achieve in Hollywood, when the racists were secretly gritting their teeth, a tabloid and a local TV station fired the first shot to boycott the socialist director Shen Zhenghui. They keenly discovered that Although the mutual aid association established to help the miners in "The Imperial Envoy (Part 1)" is called "Freemasonry" in name, it is actually a socialist organization. They just pointed at their noses and said that Enleko was Lenin. They said The movie deliberately depicts the miserable life of the miners, in fact, it is to promote revolution. Although the movie does not launch a revolution, it will definitely happen in the next episode, because in the setting of the story, Kaaoqi is clearly a capitalist. Republic - they use the word capitalism in a positive sense, so the purpose of everything Enleko does in a capitalist society is to subvert the capitalist regime. This is exactly what Shen Zhenghui is doing now. He uses movies to package him ** publicity. This wide-open imagination is simply boundless. In addition to the disgusting denunciation of ordinary movie fans who have no sense of politics, sensible movie viewers soon began to conduct real science popularization, proving that everything described in the movie is of great significance in the history of Europe. The real ones include Freemasonry and so on. In fact, it is a secret organization of masons. Once it is involved with history, the whole movie immediately becomes high-level, just like when a people's teacher answered why Harry couldn't be with Hermione, he did not think from the perspective of personal feelings but from the perspective of historical class differentiation. He answered the questions openly and received unanimous praise from the audience who didn't know how to react. The malicious newspaper and radio station were trying to stir up some extreme sentiment, but they didn't realize that to some extent they were advertising "The Magic Apprentice." The public relations company and Shen Zhenghui himself quickly adopted the strategy and tactics of the people's teacher. A series of history lectures began. Europeans across the Atlantic began to laugh at Americans for not understanding history. On this basis, Shen Zhenghui also consolidated his position. He is not just a commercial director.
