Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 135 Domestic Repercussions

The facts were indeed as expected by Chen Hao, not only Scarlett Johansson was not able to invite, but Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Samuel Jackson did not agree to join.

In the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to find a familiar person, Norman Reedus.

He's Darryl from The Walking Dead, man!
Within three days, Chen Hao completed the interviews for all the cast members of the Avengers version of "Saw". Combining factors such as age, whether they are in the United States, and their current fame, the final list of cast members was confirmed.

……

After the actors are determined, Davis has also formed a crew, and now the filming location needs to be determined.

In the end, Davis found a huge warehouse for Chen Hao. Most of the scenes in the film will be set up in this warehouse, which is more convenient for shooting.

But before the scene was set up, Chen Hao gathered all the crew members, not only the actors, but also all the behind-the-scenes personnel for a meeting.

During the meeting, Davis showed up in person, and affectionately called Chen Hao his brother.

In the end, he said directly, "If there are any problems in the crew, especially those who don't obey the director's arrangement, they will be fired immediately, and I guarantee that it will be difficult for you to find a job in the future."

Everyone was shocked by Davis' words. Originally, everyone was not optimistic about Chen Hao, a Chinese director.

It wasn't until everyone knew that "Moon", which is currently being screened in the United States, was produced by Chen Hao, that some of the contempt in their hearts was eliminated.

But it is probably impossible for them to be completely obedient.

It's just that Davis speaks in person, that's different, as a high-level executive of one of the eight giants in Hollywood.

It's easy to handle everyone in this small crew.

Everyone also put away their small thoughts, and what they think about now is to finish the work, and then just take the money and leave.

It's just that everyone will inevitably wonder why Davis attaches so much importance to the Asian director in front of him, and he looks handsome after a closer look.

Is it...

Alas, it really is not easy to get ahead, many people even cast regretful glances at Chen Hao!

Seeing this, Chen Hao wanted to hit someone, but couldn't help but roll his eyes at Davis.

Davis didn't expect this to happen either. He came here to support Chen Hao, but he didn't expect that there would be ambiguity, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

However, with Davis' words, Chen Hao's work in the crew will undoubtedly be simpler and much smoother.

Afterwards, Chen Hao, Ning Hao and the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew began to build the scene according to the plot of the script.

At the same time, various props were produced.

Wen Ziren in his previous life spent 5 days making all preparations, and then completed the filming of "Chain Saw" in 18 days without rehearsal.

The main reason is that there are not too high requirements for acting skills, and the scenes are not too big. As long as you follow the script smoothly, if there are no mistakes, there will be very few NGs, so it can be completed so quickly.

……

At the same time, in Huaxia, "Moon" was officially released two weeks after its release.

In the last two weeks, "Moon" received box office results of 32 and 14 respectively, and the cumulative total box office reached 3202 million!
This result made "Moon" temporarily ranked fourth in the 2002 annual box office list!

It is second only to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" with 5620 million, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" with 5554 million, and "Star Wars Episode 4500: Attack of the Clones" with 2 million!
《月球》累计票房3202万, 制片方和发行方的票房分成是3202万*91.7%*35%=1027.68万。

去掉陈昊垫付的200万宣传费, 再去掉华影和伯纳15%的宣发费用, 昊天影视获得的分成是（1027.68-200）*85%=703.5万。

After excluding Huaying's 30% investment share, 703.5 million * 70% = 492.45 million.

Taxes are also removed, and Chen Hao can finally get about 420 million.

Adding the 200 million publicity expenses paid in advance, Chen Hao can get back 620 million, leaving 1400 million in his hand, a total of 2020 million.

Now that he has invested US$120 million in the filming of "Saw", Chen Hao only has US$1030 million left.

Of course, Chen Hao can't get these dividends immediately, and it may take two months.

After the release of "Moon", Chen Hao once again became the focus of attention with the temporary fourth box office result of the year at 3202 million.

It's just that when the media reporters wanted to interview Chen Hao, they got news of an accidental explosion.

Chen Hao shelved his planned third Chinese-language film and went directly to the United States to shoot an English-language film.

That is to say, Chen Hao, like his predecessors Wu Baige and Li Yong, went to North America.

As soon as this news came out, the mainland media exploded!

Today, when the three major mainland directors have not yet gone to the United States to try their skills, it can only be said that it is too conceited and too bold for a rising star director to go directly to Hollywood.

And with the media reports, the news quickly spread throughout the country.

Everyone's opinion on this matter is quite the same.

The vast majority of people hold a negative attitude, thinking that Chen Hao should hone in China for another two years, and maybe he can go to the United States for a try after he becomes more mature and stable.

Now that he has just made two films and rushed to sweep the world in such a hurry, Hollywood, where he is not familiar with, is afraid that he will return home soon.

Just at this time, the news of Wu Baige's "Windtalker" failed at the box office also spread to China, which made everyone even more pessimistic about Chen Hao's future.

In order to gain attention, media reporters interviewed several major directors.

Feng Dapao: Chen Hao still has some talent, but if he rushes to the United States in such a hurry, I am afraid that he is not far from failure. There are completely two worlds there and at home. You should come back quickly, lest you lose your embarrassment to the United States .

Brother Chen Kai: Chen Hao's choice this time is still a bit ill-considered. Young people should be more patient.

Zhang Weiping: This kid is a bit too crazy. The only directors in China who are qualified to go to North America should be Guoshi, and our upcoming "Hero" can be said to represent the highest level of current domestic movies.

I can say responsibly that even if the movie "Hero" is released in North America, it will still shock foreigners, because "Hero" has this strength. If you don't believe me, you can wait until the end of the year to verify it.

Jiang Wen: This kid is really kind. I'm looking forward to his performance.

……

At the same time, the reaction on the Internet was mixed.

The reality is too cruel 1: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, it’s okay to make a breakthrough, but at worst, they fail and return home!
China Entertainment Reporter: Chen Hao is still very talented, what if he succeeds!

The Great Qin Empire will last forever: If you can't do it, it doesn't mean Chen Hao can't do it!

Reader 1533296848328111: Chen Hao can make sci-fi films that he is good at, and he should be very likely to succeed!
Qinglian Earth: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains of tigers!Man, it should be so!
Quaner 1993: Elegant Butterfly!

……

The people on the Internet are generally young people. What they lack most is passion and fighting spirit. Their edges and corners are still there, and the blood in their hearts is still there. Therefore, I am more optimistic about Chen Hao's North American trip and look forward to it!

However, the hot discussion in the media and the Internet made Chen Hao's trip to North America the focus of everyone's attention for a while, and the popularity remained high.

Everyone is also waiting, how many points can Chen Hao give everyone!
……

North America, Los Angeles!

Domestic news obviously did not reach here so quickly, and at this time, Chen Hao and his staff had already spent 5 days to complete all the preparations.

On August 2002, 8, Chen Hao's first Hollywood film "Saw" officially started shooting!
