Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 1008 Interstellar Crossing
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" crazily won the box office of 5.75 million yuan in the next week, breaking the highest box office record in a single week in the history of mainland movies.
While bringing Chinese-language films into the era of a single-day box office exceeding 8 million yuan, they won a total of 6.54 million yuan in box office in [-] days in two weeks, which directly detonated the mainland film industry!

All of a sudden, countless media exclaimed that the 5th film in the mainland with a box office breaking 10 billion is about to be born!
Countless people are endlessly admiring Master Xing, and the Huayi Brothers, who are the investors, are also very excited. Finally, they are about to own a movie with a box office of over 10 billion!
At present, there are only 10 movies in the mainland with a box office of over 4 billion, of which 2 are Hollywood blockbusters, and the other 2 are from Haotian Films.

Huayi is both envious and jealous of this, but also powerless. After all, a box office of 10 billion is still at the ceiling level for the current mainland film market.

It's not as common as later generations, and some people can even call out not to act in films with a box office of less than 10 billion!

Hua Yi, who is now cooperating with Master Xing, can finally feel proud for a while, and the hot box office of "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" even directly made the market value of Hua Yi Brothers successfully break through the [-] billion mark!

It became the second film company with a market value exceeding 2 billion after Haotian Films!
For this reason, Huayi held a grand celebration banquet for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" with great fanfare. At that time, countless media gathered, and the scenery was infinite!
Not long after Huayi Brothers held the celebration banquet, Haotian Films revealed that they would hold a press conference to announce that Chen Hao's new film will be launched!
Immediately, countless media gathered in Haotian Building!
As one of the top four directors in the mainland, and the number one director of commercial films, Chen Hao's influence in the mainland is undoubtedly huge. Every time a new film is released, it is a major event in the industry.

Countless stars want to participate in Chen Hao's film, because even a supporting role can bring countless exposure and increase popularity.

Countless theaters are looking forward to Chen Hao's new film, because there are still a few Chinese-language films that can really sell at the box office, let alone a film like Chen Hao that is basically guaranteed to be a hit.

Countless movie companies want to know the schedule of Chen Hao's movie, so they can avoid it in advance!

Countless movie fans are looking forward to Chen Hao's new film, because Chen Hao always brings good works and surprises!
The media are also looking forward to this great event in the industry, and also because Chen Hao's new film is often the most favorable contender for the annual crown!
In 2013, in the mainland film market, in addition to the imported films that increased their share, in terms of Chinese films, only Chen Hao had films released among the four major directors.

In addition, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" and Guan Hu's "Cook, Actor, Ruffian" are worthy of attention among the new generation of directors.

The rest are the veteran directors of Xiangjiang, Wang Jiawei, Chen Kexin and Xingye.

Among them, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" has already been released, but "The Grandmaster" only won the box office champion for 2 weeks, and the cumulative box office is only 2.5 million yuan.

Then I encountered the Hollywood spy blockbuster "007: Skyfall", and then came the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" by Xingye, who is now sweeping the movie world.

The final box office of "The Grandmaster" should not exceed 3 million RMB!

On the contrary, the evaluation of this film is very good. Professional film critics on Douban scored 8 points, and fans scored as high as 8.7 points.

And the performance of the heroine International Chapter is even more impressive, this role is enough to make her stand up!
What Chen Kexin brought was "Huaxia Partner", and everyone's expectations for this film in terms of box office are obviously not high.

Among the Hollywood blockbusters, "Iron Man 3" in the Marvel superhero movie universe series should also have a certain threat after the accumulation of the previous two films and the entire Marvel series of movies!

As for other films, the box office prospects and competitiveness are not particularly high, and they cannot reach the level of 10 billion box office!
Therefore, the battle for the title in 2013 should still be between Chen Hao and Master Xing.

The two have also played against each other before, and the record is one win and one loss. In 2004, Chen Hao's "Man without a Surname" ranked second in the year, and the first was "Kung Fu" by Master Xing!
And in 2008, Chen Hao won the annual championship with "Pacific Rim", and Xingye's "Yangtze River 7" ranked 5th in the year!

Now the two met again in 2013, Xingye's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" took the lead, and the situation is very good, it is very likely to hit the box office of 10 billion, which is a lot of pressure for Chen Hao.

After all, the 10 billion level is already the limit of the mainland film market, and the final box office of Chen Hao's last film "Gravity" was 9.8 million, which did not reach 10 billion!
Therefore, the outcome between the two is unpredictable!

……

"Chen Hao really loves sci-fi movies, and this "Interstellar" is another sci-fi blockbuster!"

"Otherwise, how can you be a master of science fiction! And it is recognized by the world!"

"I don't know what the story of "Interstellar Crossing" is this time? Is it a shuttle between universes?"

"Speaking of which, Chen Hao has also made many types of sci-fi movies, such as doomsday zombies, disaster movies, mechs, dreams, superheroes, and space movies, all of which are almost finished by him!"

"I don't know if the box office of "Interstellar" can surpass Xingye's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"!"

"Yeah, after all, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is too strong!"

……

When the time came to eight o'clock, Chen Hao showed up at the launch conference with all the main creators of the film.

With the appearance of Chen Hao, Matthew McConaughey, Zhou Runfa, International Zhang, Damei Tang, and Zhao Jinmai, the scene was immediately flooded by flashing lights.

This lineup is still very strong, not to mention the director Chen Hao, the male lead Matthew McConaughey is also a well-known Hollywood movie star, not to mention Zhou Runfa and the international chapter in China, even in Europe and the United States have a certain reputation!
Only Dameitang and Zhao Jinmai have relatively weak qualifications in film.

However, as Dameitang is one of Haotian's four golden eagle goddesses, and Zhao Jinmai is a young actor just signed by Haotian's agent, Chen Hao will naturally praise it.

However, due to the large investment in the film, apart from International Zhang, Zhou Runfa, Da Meitang and Zhao Jinmai, the other main supporting roles Chen Hao chose Hollywood actors.

Originally, the supporting role of Zhou Runfa, Chen Hao, wanted to find Matt Damon. In his previous life, this role belonged to him, but then Chen Hao thought of "The Martian".

Matt Damon starred in the previous version of "The Martian", but Zhou Runfa starred in Chen Hao's version of "The Martian".

And the villain in "Interstellar" has certain similarities with "The Martian". They both went to alien planets to conduct exploration experiments and were trapped.

It sounds like a hidden linkage!

And because he had an agreement to continue cooperating with Zhou Runfa, Chen Hao finally chose Zhou Runfa.

Choosing Zhou Runfa to play a supporting role obviously has more advantages than Matt Damon. The first is that the film salary is cheap, and secondly, Zhou Runfa has a certain appeal to the fans of Xiangjiang and Formosa.

This has a certain boost to the box office of "Interstellar" in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and even South Korea, island countries and Southeast Asia.

As for the other main supporting actors of the film, they are all from Hollywood, and they are already in the Canadian crew and did not come to the scene.

After the press conference, Chen Hao and others will also fly directly to Canada, except for Zhou Runfa, because his scenes are basically filmed in Iceland, and he will not join the crew until the middle and late stages of filming.

"Happy New Year everyone! I'm very glad that you can come to the launch conference of my new film "Interstellar"." Chen Hao said with a smile, "The plan of a day lies in the morning, and the plan of a year lies in spring. When spring comes, everything Recovery, it's time for me to shoot again, hahaha..."

……

The scene was a little cold, everyone looked at the laughing Chen Hao for no reason, obviously everyone still didn't understand the stalk!
"Ahem..." The embarrassed Chen Hao could only cough twice to cover it up, "My new film is still a sci-fi film, and the people next to me are the leading actors of the film.

Well, without further ado, if you have any questions, just ask! "

"Director Chen, how much is the investment in "Interstellar"? What is the main story?"

Chen Hao took a look at the questioner from Weibo, and he was sure he was on his way, "The total investment of "Interstellar" is 2 million U.S. dollars!"

As soon as Chen Hao's words fell, the media reporters became excited, because the production cost of 2 million US dollars exceeded the 1.6 million US dollars of "Inception", setting a new production cost record for mainland films!

This record has always been refreshed and maintained by Chen Hao, because he is the only one in Huaxia who can maintain profitability with such a huge investment. This other director is simply incomparable!
Of course, what Chen Hao said is actually a little watery. The real investment cost of "Gravity" is 1.3 million U.S. dollars, and the extra 7000 million U.S. dollars is not exaggerated.

And speaking of it, if the film is released globally in the future, there will definitely be a publicity fee of 5000 million, so saying 2 million is not too outrageous!
"Director Chen, have you watched "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? Do you think this movie can break the 10 billion box office? Can "Interstellar" surpass "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?"

"You have a lot of questions!" Chen Hao laughed after hearing this, "I haven't watched "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" because I have been busy preparing for a new film, but I know that this film has broken multiple box office records.

As for whether it can reach a box office of 10 billion, I think it should not be a big problem. After all, the box office appeal of Master Xing is there. The visual effects of Haotian special effects are also world-class, with more subversive settings, and the wonderful performances of the actors. I don't even think 10 billion will be the end! "

"Director Chen, you haven't said whether the box office of "Interstellar" can surpass that of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?"

Chen Hao laughed and said, "How do I know, "Interstellar" hasn't even been filmed yet, but I have confidence in my movie."

"Then Director Chen, what do you mean is that the box office of "Interstellar" can surpass that of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and won the annual championship?"

"That's what you said!" Chen Hao laughed, and then he still kept silent on this topic, "You should also ask some of our main creators, don't just stare at me all the time!"

The reporter saw that Chen Hao started throwing the blame, and knew that Chen Hao would not talk about it in detail, so he focused his firepower on several main creators.

"Matthew McConaughey, this is the first time you are working with Director Chen, do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I'm very happy and excited. After all, Chen is an incredible director, and countless actors want to work with him." Matthew McConaughey said, "I'm very lucky to be able to participate in "Interstellar".

This is an incredible movie. I knew it after reading the script, and I decided to join immediately. I am looking forward to cooperating with Chen and seeing this work as soon as possible. "

The media reporters nodded after hearing the words. The words of this Hollywood star are much more credible than those of domestic stars. After all, foreign monks are easy to chant sutras!
Even though everyone was carrying the sedan chair, it seems that Chen Hao's influence in the United States cannot be underestimated. It's not because of world-class directors!

"Brother Fa, seems to be a supporting role in the film this time?"

Zhou Runfa heard the words and immediately shouted in Gangpu, "Don't underestimate the supporting roles, especially the supporting roles in Director Chen's film. I won it after defeating countless competitors. It is not easy!"

The reporters all laughed when they heard the words. They obviously knew that Fa Ge was joking, but the words were indeed reasonable. Any character in Chen Hao's film would undoubtedly make the stars think hard.

"I don't need to talk about Director Chen's ability. You all know it, so I came as soon as Director Chen asked me to. Even if it is a supporting role, I will complete it [-]%. Director Chen must be satisfied!" Zhou Runfa said.

"International chapter, this should be the first cooperation between you and Director Chen?"

"It is indeed the first time to cooperate!" International Zhang smiled and glanced at Chen Hao, "But in fact, we might have cooperated a long time ago, but it's a pity that we missed it!"

"Oh? Tell us about it in detail!" The reporters were very supportive, and they turned into fans and said.

"Director Chen and I have known each other for a long time, and we also have the intention of cooperating." International Zhang said with a smile, "Actually, we had the possibility to cooperate as early as "Inception"."

Hey!
The reporters on the scene were clamoring, "Inception" is now the box office champion of mainland movie history, and it has been for 2 and a half years!
If the international chapter starred in "Inception", then the international chapter would really be an international chapter, unlike now, the word "international" is more of a joke!

He was overtaken by Mr. Xun, who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and was behind him!

After all, "Inception" has won a box office of 9.64 million U.S. dollars worldwide, ranking 20th in the box office rankings of global film history, and it is also the highest-grossing Chinese-language film!

"However, because I had already accepted "The Grandmaster" at that time, there were some conflicts in the schedule, so it was a pity that we could not reach a cooperation." International Zhang regretted, "But fortunately, Director Chen and I can finally cooperate closely. !"

After finishing speaking, the international chapter blinked at Chen Hao cryptically, and Chen Hao smiled when he saw this. The cooperation is indeed close enough, and the distance is already negative!
