Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

This movie made Nie Wei break his weekly box office record in five European countries including Britain and France.

Especially in the UK, the first week box office record was as high as 47 million pounds, which broke Nie Wei's previous weekly box office record in the UK, and even broke the British film weekly box office record.

Of course, Nie Wei knew that the reason why this movie was so popular in Europe was more because of the influence of Harry Potter.

It can be said that "Harry Potter" is the most popular existence in the entire European or British entertainment industry. Basically, more than half of the British actors have appeared in this movie. A passerby you see may be a well-known local actor.

In addition, because the Harry Potter series is over, many local fans are actually looking forward to the release of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" as soon as possible. This is the "magic complex". As long as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is well made, there will definitely be no lack of box office data, not to mention that Nie Wei also made it very well?

Unlike the controversial domestic situation, this movie was well received in the UK.

Open the British film and television forum, you will find that the discussion about this movie is very hot, and most of the comments are full of praise, especially Harry Potter fans, who praise Nie Wei in various ways because Nie Wei really shoots the feeling they want.

"Ms. Rowling never disappoints Harry Potter fans. It is still the familiar magical world, but the reflection of reality is more profound than Harry Potter, especially the survival problems of animals caused by environmental damage and the protection of rare animals. It is really worth people's deep thinking."

"It feels that Rowling especially likes a type of boys. They are shy. They will be shy when facing the girls they like. They are also talented. They are usually low-key and introverted, but they are full of courage when facing difficulties. You think I am talking about Harry Potter, but I am actually talking about Newt, They are all the same type of people. "

"Nie Wei is really a super director. The whole film moves smoothly, the editing is superb, and the rhythm is perfectly controlled. It makes people cry and laugh. More than two hours have passed unknowingly. After watching it, I walked out of the screening room with an unsatisfied mind. As soon as I walked out of the door, I turned back because I wanted to watch it again. "

"After watching the first part, my only thought was when can I see the second part? "

Nie Wei has never been so popular in the UK. This is the power of JK Rowling's magic novels. In the local area, JK Rowling is really a writer that makes all British people proud, and everything related to her will quickly become famous in this land.

For Nie Wei, this is a small surprise.

After accidentally opening up the British market, Nie Wei also deliberately took two days to participate in some local British variety shows, but that's all.

It's not that Nie Wei doesn't value the British film market. Since it can provide 47 million pounds of box office data in a week, Nie Wei can't ignore this market. However, the British people's viewing standards are a bit too weird. Nie Wei doesn't think his future works will suit their tastes.

After he doesn't shoot "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", perhaps he can only shoot the "007" series to break his own record.

For Nie Wei, the most important thing is the box office market in Asia and North America.

China's first week box office of 1 billion is still Nie Wei's most powerful base camp, and in North America, the first week box office performance of 83 million is also gratifying.

If nothing unexpected happens, the global total box office of this movie may exceed 800 million US dollars, and it will not be a problem to squeeze into the top 80 of the total box office list of film and television.

And Nie Wei's personal total box office performance as a director will also rise by one place, at least under the premise that the previous one has no new works released.

October has passed in a flash, and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has also won the fourth week of weekly box office championship in the UK, but the box office revenue of this week is only 9.3 million pounds.

In North America, this week, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was dethroned by the newly released Aquaman, which is DC's trump card this year. Facing the exhausted potential of "Fantastic Beasts", it was expected that it would win.

However, after four weeks, the North American box office of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has reached 220 million US dollars.

In China, the box office of this movie has also exceeded 3 billion, but like North America, the potential has basically been exhausted. The recent attendance rate has barely maintained at around 20%, and the scheduling rate has also dropped to 11%.

A box office of 3 billion is enough for any director to be proud of for a lifetime, but Nie Wei has achieved such a result, and some media even wrote that he has "run out of ideas".

These media all believe that the new movie with declining box office and reputation also means that Nie Wei will go downhill.

However, on the Stars Film Review website, the movie still has a score of 8.1 points, which can be ranked in the top 200 of the total list, and it is also the highest-rated movie among the recently released movies.

Even if some people doubt that Fanxing Film Review is fake, after all, it is a self-produced movie, but on IMDB, the world's most professional film review website, the film has a score of 8.0 and is also on the website's TOP250 list.

As for the box office results, the 3 billion box office results accounted for 80% of the box office data during the National Day.

But this group of media just pretended not to see these data, even though many netizens have posted these data on their official public platforms, they also pretended not to see them. Some media even shamelessly deleted all such comments, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and blackening for the sake of blackening.

As the person involved, Nie Wei completely blocked these news and worked hard for the final progress of "Fantastic Beasts 2".

The main reason is that Nie Wei knows that this group of people can't stir up trouble.

Moreover, what they do is to attract attention, so it is useless to reason with them. There is a special adjective for such media in the industry, called "professional blackmail".

They just "blackmail" whoever they see is popular, because as long as they blacken these popular people, they will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among their fans and quarrels. Regardless of right or wrong, at least they have popularity.

And even if fans can react that they are intentional, in order to protect their idols, they still have to explain and criticize.

This is how they use the psychology of fans to get attention, and then take the opportunity to accept advertisements, so as to achieve the purpose of making money.

Joseph has been feeling a bit overwhelmed recently, because when he first came to Europe, few people recognized him when he walked on the street. However, many girls were interested in him, but not because of his fame, but because of his handsome appearance.

But since the broadcast of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", people gradually approached him on the street and asked him tentatively if he was Newt in the movie. When Joseph nodded, the other party would scream in surprise, and then they would sign autographs and take photos, etc.

This is his most substantial feeling about popularity.

He even felt that the attitude of the girls in the beauty salon he went to every morning had changed dramatically. Of course, the other party's service attitude was also very good in the past, but it was all very formulaic. But since the release of the movie, he felt that the girls' smiles to him were much more friendly, and they would look at him with admiration.

This made Joseph very satisfied.

Of course, what made Joseph even more worried were the endorsement contracts waiting for him to sign in the American companies. He has been calculating how much money he can make this year every night recently. He doesn't know in the first half of the year, but in the two months after October, he knows that his income will exceed 10 million US dollars.

This made him so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He felt that if he worked hard, he would soon have his own small villa in that famous mountain villa. He could also buy the luxury car and famous watch he had longed for. Of course, he could also find many girls to chat about life and ideals.

Nina is similar, but she is still slightly less popular than Joseph, and the same is true for income.

First of all, due to the role positioning of Nina, many fans are not interested in her. They always feel that Tina played by Nina is a bit brainless and impulsive, which also affects Nina herself. Recently, there are many viewers who scold her for her role on the Internet, and some people even set up a special topic of "anti-Tina", hoping that JK Rowling and Nie Wei can make Tina's character have some accidents in subsequent works.

In addition, the entertainment industry is still somewhat "patriarchal".

This can be reflected in the pay. The male stars in Hollywood who can get tens of millions of pay are more than twice as many as female stars.

It's not that women are not motivated, but there is discrimination in this circle itself.

Nina was quite dissatisfied with this. After accidentally learning about Joseph's income, she didn't look very good to Joseph these days.

Although she knew that Hollywood was like this, that it was "preferring boys to girls", she was still unbalanced in her heart.

Joseph felt puzzled by this. He had been avoiding Nina recently, fearing that it would be awkward if they met, and he would have to face the other's ugly face.

Depp finished his work a week ago. Because his next movie was about to start shooting in half a month, Nie Wei concentrated his role.

Nie Wei would give the privileges that a superstar should have, just like he would obediently work overtime for free during this period. This can be regarded as a reluctant "mutual respect".

After Depp finished filming, Nie Wei originally wanted to hold a wrap-up party for him, after all, he should not have the intention of returning to the crew to attend the final wrap-up party, but Depp was completely uninterested in this. After returning to the hotel and sleeping for three hours on the night of the wrap-up, he carried a backpack and flew to Iceland in a chic manner.

It was his agent who came to inform the crew that Depp had left.

Nie Wei didn't care. Depp didn't want to hold a wrap-up party, so he saved the money for the party. Because he saved some money, Nie Wei, who was in a good mood, deliberately finished work early, which was considered a small vacation for everyone in the crew.

Taking advantage of this time, Nie Wei also went to the streets of France for a stroll.

Shu Chang's filming was still in progress. As the heroine of the play and one of the characters with the most scenes, Shu Chang still had at least half a month to finish the filming, and then she might have to do some make-up tasks and post-dubbing tasks. Shu Chang's idea of ​​visiting Nie Wei was probably ruined.

But Nie Wei could complete the photography about a week in advance.

Nie Wei went shopping just to buy Shu Chang some gifts to take back home. In another week, the second Fantastic Beasts would be successfully completed, and the post-production special effects production, editing, and music matching tasks could all be completed in China. At that time, he would have plenty of time to dub Shu Chang.

Gifts are hard to choose. Shu Chang is no longer a woman who can be satisfied with branded bags or watches, or she doesn't care about these things at all.

Every season, a set of the latest products of these brands will be sent to Nie Wei's manor.

There are three rooms in the house, one of which is dedicated to Shu Chang's bags, but even so, that room is almost full. For a long time, Shu Chang would give away many "outdated models" that she had never carried.

She doesn't lack these luxury goods. For her, luxury goods are just some extra daily necessities.

So when everyone was rushing to those shopping malls, Nie Wei went to the street instead, looking for those small or old shops to see if there were any unique things.

Finally, an antique shop on the street caught Nie Wei's attention.

The decoration of this antique shop is very retro, and Nie Wei feels very familiar. It is very similar to the retro style of Harry Potter, that is, the kind of 1920s and 1930s.

Nie Wei pushed open the door and heard the sound of a bell. He looked up and saw that there was also a doorbell here, just like the one in Jacob's Bakery.

Nie Wei looked around the room. The light was very dim. It was sunny outside, but the owner had drawn the curtains, and they were very thick curtains. When Nie Wei opened the door, he even saw the boss at the counter blocking the sunlight with his hands.

"Is this a store opened by a vampire?" Nie Wei was quite speechless about the boss's reaction.

The furnishings in the store were also very messy. Many things were thrown on the table casually without any special classification, making Nie Wei feel as if he had returned to the antique shop near Hokokuji Temple in Kyoto.

Nie Wei knew very well that the thick curtains in the store were not because the boss was a hidden vampire, but because he didn't want you to see these things clearly. As for the messy display, it was just that the customers felt it was messy, but the boss knew it clearly.

This was a moment that really tested one's vision.

Although Nie Wei has a mother who is an expert in cultural relics, he has only a vague understanding of this industry. As for these obviously European-style objects, he is completely clueless.

However, he was not panicked. He pretended to be very comfortable, and walked around the store with a relaxed and natural smile.
