"This movie can be said to be full of aesthetics such as magic and witchcraft, suspense and exploration, history and legend, etc. When it was still a text, readers would involuntarily immerse themselves in this artistic conception intertwined with fantasy and reality, but now it has become a vivid audio-visual plot, which still uses the most advanced movie special effects, which is enough to attract people to enter. cinema."

"When human beings evaluate a thing, they often like to start from their own interests and interests. Before the movie was released, jealous people criticized the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as too childish, making older people Audiences fall asleep in theaters."

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

"However, no matter Ryan's screenwriter or Chris Columbus' director, they also take care of adult audiences. Looking at the complete works of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", most adults will definitely be able to watch it with gusto."

"Movies always revolve 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, or group identity when sharing common topics. , but its growth inspirational film model hidden under the cloak of fantasy.”

"The experience of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry can be said to be an 'education model in another world' imagined by Ryan. Perhaps he himself did not realize that the inspirational learning process like Harry's has a great impact on reality. What is the real meaning of the world?"

"Looking at the whole world, how urgent is this kind of inspirational reflection projected from popular cultural products? Our children's literature and film and television have many campus environments, but those schools that are naive or childish can no longer keep up with the campus situation. drastic changes."

"That's the effect of changing times."

"Not to mention anything else, at least through "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the future generation of our country can understand that 'evil' like Voldemort is not only present everywhere, but may also be a part of themselves that is closely related to them. Growing up is a process of comprehensive cognition of 'good and evil'."

"America needs this kind of movie. The whole world needs this kind of movie. Ryan and Chris Columbus have teamed up to give us an epoch-making movie!"

This is a review from the Association of Teachers and Parents published by The New York Times immediately after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" landed in North America. It sounds affirmative, even giving some meaning that both Ryan and Columbus find inexplicable.

"Movies can always be interpreted in various ways.

"

Sitting in the living room of the villa in Kensington, Nicole put down the newspaper in her hand. Ask Ryan on the opposite side, "When you first wrote the novel, did you ever think about it?"

"Honey, you should know why I wrote this novel in the first place." Ryan spread his hands.

"Ryan was a pauper back then."

Taylor, who was sitting on the loveseat, hugged Emma Watson's arm and explained, "Well...Nicole is not much better. Two poor people, it is said that they owe a lot of debt."

Hearing the little girl's words, Ryan and Nicole smiled and looked at each other at the same time, seeming to recall the years when they first met, but the sweet eyes only lasted for a few seconds. In those light blue eyes, The needle-like sharpness was revealed again.

"so boring."

Emma Watson rests her chin. It was on Taylor's shoulder, "When I went out today, dozens of reporters surrounded me, my brother was frightened, God, how can I go out to play in the future."

"Also, from tomorrow onwards, I'm going to promote with the crew, it's just too scary." Her little face was wrinkled.

"Poor Emma." Taylor touched her forehead lightly. "Fortunately, I am still free now. I have decided that I will enjoy freedom on behalf of everyone. I will go to Burger King, and I will eat beef burgers."

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

"It's different now, Burger King has become the world of Harry Potter." The little girl dragged Emma to stand up, wrinkled her tall nose and said. "I'm not eating a hamburger, I'm eating Harry Potter culture, understand, Ryan?"

"Honey. I promise." Ryan pointed to the outside of 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, and sat down again dejectedly.

Walking to the opposite side and filling the juice for the two little guys, Ryan simply sat next to Nicole, while Emma Watson over there talked about what he saw when he came over.

"Alison doesn't know what's going on in Burger King at all. She listened to what I said." The two little girls said while laughing and laughing, "When I came, I went to Burger King to buy breakfast. There are a variety of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" peripheral products, and inside and outside the store are posters with images, cups, plates, and character models... I was stunned at the time, thinking that I had entered the set."

"I didn't expect a movie to match this kind of event." Emma Watson is also a smart girl, showing a thoughtful look, "But one thing is absolutely certain, everyone in line bought Burger King Harry Potter package."

"It's nothing."

Taylor put on the appearance of a teacher teaching students. In this respect, she can indeed be a teacher for other children, "You know, Emma, ​​there was a call from Los Angeles this morning. Ryan just talked to Johnson \u0026 Johnson, Cadbury, besides……"

The little girl suddenly couldn't remember the specific name, so she just waved her hand and said, "In short, there are many messy companies that have reached some authorizations, with a total amount of up to 50 million U.S. dollars."

"Alison?" Ryan couldn't help but look at her.

"Sorry." The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, showing an embarrassed expression, "I didn't mean it, I just passed by the study and heard you calling... Well, Nicole can prove it."

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

In fact, these authorizations with time rights are nothing more than rights to use images. Now that he has Disney, whether it is TV copyrights, DVD video tape distribution, or doll manufacturing and sales, he can digest them internally, and in this way can maximize profits. change.

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

"Honey."

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

The eyes of the two little girls were fighting over each other, full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Taylor is better. After all, she has been exposed to it since she was a child. Although she is often interested in gossip, she also understands a little bit in a daze. As for Miss Emma Watson, she is a complete layman.

"Ryan, didn't you say that if I don't succeed in singing in the future, you can hand over the film company to me?"

Facing the curiosity of his dear sister, Ryan had no choice but to simply say, "In today's cultural industry, which is increasingly ideological and capitalistic, once any cultural product evolves into a cultural event and cultural phenomenon, it must be will become a commodity with high economic value."

Taylor nodded half-understanding, while Emma Watson shook her head directly.

Ryan mainly said it to Taylor, and it doesn’t matter if the other one understands it or not, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone may become a transnational cultural event and cultural phenomenon, and the cultural vortex it can form will be like a tornado It also attracts the attention of the public, and it mainly faces consumer groups..."

Rubbing the head of the little guy lying on the sofa, Ryan continued, "It's a minor like you, my dear, if you are attracted by Hermione's wand and want to get an imitation, then I and Ni Definitely will pay…”

"It's a pity that there is no dragon heartstring in it." Taylor said casually first, and then said seriously, "I think I understand, you are mainly making money for the children."

This childish language, which pointed to the essence, immediately caused Ryan and Nicole to laugh at the same time.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" caused an absolute sensation in Britain, the United States, and even the English-speaking region where it was released at the same time. Especially when it was released before Christmas, it became the first choice for countless families to watch movies during festivals.

As for the critics, if anyone is serious about such a family movie, then they can only be ridiculed.

As the "New York Times" said, movies may be a little boring for some adults, but they will never be unbearable, and a child audience often means two or more movie tickets.

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

And Ryan's stalwart supporters...

Because Ryan once said that Hermione was as important to him as Harry Potter. After the film was released, Emma Watson, like Daniel Radcliffe, became the subject of media attention and reports. focus.

But now the girl with a little bit of rabbit teeth is very cute, and Emma inevitably attracts a group of uncle audiences, which can be regarded as a unique contribution to the film.

When December 24th approached, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" unsurprisingly sat on the top of the North American box office charts, and the third movie in history with a North American weekly box office of over 100 million was born. 113.05 million US dollars.

At the same time, the film was screened in 525 theaters in the UK, earning a box office of 19.33 million pounds in the first week.
