Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 162

Because of the praise of "Chain Saw" by the North American media and film critics, and many fans also praised the film, more and more American movie fans have noticed this low-cost horror film.

After Sony Columbia saw the potential of "Chain Saw", it also stepped up its promotional efforts, which made the box office drop in the second week of the film's release to be called horror.

In the next week's North American box office rankings, "Chain Saw" fell one place, ranking first on the list, with a cumulative box office of 1109 million US dollars over the three-day weekend!
The actual second-week box office of "Chain Saw" was US$1712 million, a decrease of only 1827% compared to the previous week's US$6.29 million.

It was released for a total of 11 days in two weeks, and the cumulative box office of "Chain Saw" was 3539 million US dollars!
From this point of view, it is almost certain that the box office of "Chain Saw" will exceed 5000 million US dollars, and it is not impossible to go higher.

The box office success of "Saw" and Chen Hao's special status as the Huaxia director also made Chen Hao the focus of North American media attention for a while.

Of course, there is appreciation and derogation.

"Chen, a talented director from China, made the wonderful "Chain Saw" with only 120 million US dollars, which taught a good lesson to many suspense thrillers in North America. Don't use those old-fashioned routines anymore. It's out of date!
And anyone who thinks Chen can only make low-budget horror films should check out his last film, "Moon," the best sci-fi film of 2002!

Although Chen is young, he is also a producer, director and screenwriter, and he is an outstanding talent. From his current three films, it can be seen that his screenwriting and director talents are extraordinary.

After the initial success in North America, let us look forward to more exciting things he can bring us in the future! "

"Chen, a new director from China, the success of "Chain Saw" is obviously an accident, just like Wu Baige made "Face Changing", as for "Mission: Impossible 2"? It relied on the influence of the first film strength only.

You may be a little curious because Chen is from the other side of the ocean. After everyone's novelty is over, Chen will definitely encounter Waterloo, just like Wu Baige's "Windtalker"!
Believe me, Chen's next movie is going to be a hilarious, downright boring shit! "

……

As a result of the media's controversy over Chen Hao, many North American movie fans know the name Chen Hao.

As for people, the face-blind Yankee obviously couldn't remember Chen Hao's face!

At this time, Chen Hao was receiving his guests.

Greg Silverman, one of the directors of Warner Bros. China branch.

"Chen, last time I was going to meet you in Cannes in person, but it just so happened that the film city we jointly established with Huaying opened, and I really couldn't get away, so I had to ask someone to contact you." Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard that. When he was in Cannes, Warner Bros. really came to his door and wanted to buy the North American distribution rights of "Moon" for US$150 million. They were very sincere.

If it weren't for Chen Hao being more familiar with Davis of Sony Columbia, he might have agreed to the cooperation.

"At that time, Warner Bros. was indeed the most sincere company." Chen Hao laughed.

Greg laughed with satisfaction when he heard the words. It seems that Chen Hao feels good about Warner Bros.

"If it wasn't for me and Sony Columbia having a better relationship, maybe we could cooperate once." Chen Hao continued.

Greg frowned slightly when he heard this, and then smiled, "It's not too late to cooperate, as long as you give half of the copyright of "Chain Saw" to Warner, then we are willing to invest more in making it a classic horror series .

And you will also become a household director in North America and even the world because of directing this series. "

Chen Hao heard that he really wanted to look at him like an idiot, so naked?And I still use you to make a series?
"Chain Saw" is a low-cost series, with little investment, and with Columbia's distribution channel, do I still need you, Warner?

These Hollywood tycoons are really cannibals, do you really think that a well-known North American director can fool you when you are young?
"I cooperate very well with Columbia." Chen Hao said directly.

Greg frowned slightly when he heard this, and then continued, "As long as you are willing to give half of the copyright of "Chain Saw" to Warner, I can promise to invest $3000 million in your next film!
Moreover, Warner Bros. and Huaying have jointly built theaters. In the future, your movie will be released in China, and we will also give more arrangements! "

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this. He was eyeing the copyright of "Saw". 3000 million US dollars is not a small investment, especially for a new director like Chen Hao.

However, considering the powerful distribution capabilities of Hollywood giants, if they really can get the copyright of "Chain Saw", they will definitely earn much more than 3000 million US dollars.

As for domestic filming, having Han Sanping behind him is not too tempting.

"I don't have any ideas for the next movie yet!" Chen Hao shook his head again and said.

It's all for profit, and it's so naked, Chen Hao can't trust this Greg, if he really plays, Chen Hao feels that he is definitely not enough for others.

It is Davis, who has been working with him for a long time, that makes Chen Hao trust him more.

Greg frowned when he heard this. It seemed that he would not be able to get the movie copyright for a while. The young man in front of him was not easy to fool around. More importantly, there was a Columbia stuck in the middle.

"If "Chain Saw" fails to reach a cooperation, maybe we can cooperate with you in the next movie." Greg laughed.

"If I have new ideas, I will notify Warner." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

After sending Greg away, Chen Hao met another Hollywood giant, Universal.

Universal had spoken to itself through the chairman of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival before. At that time, the intention of cooperation was not strong, and now it has come to the door again.

Without exception, they still want the copyright of "Chain Saw".

Naturally, Chen Hao would not agree, and said directly, "Why don't you exchange the copyright of "Fast and Furious" with me!"

The other party directly rejected it. Judging from the box office performance of the first part of "Fast and Furious", this series is obviously promising, and it is by no means comparable to "Saw".

And the second part of "Fast Fury" has already started filming. Unless the box office fails, how can Universal be willing to let go?
Next, Chen Hao also received cooperation invitations from other companies, most of which were for film copyrights, especially Lionsgate Films, which started out with horror films.

However, Chen Hao naturally refused.

At the same time that Chen Hao was giving out the good person card, Sony Columbia also had a quarrel over the copyright issue of "Chain Saw".

　Thank you for the 2000 reward for "finding a good book to pass the boredom"!
