Chapter 164 Ning Hao wants to make a TV series

When the box office performance of "Chain Saw" in North America caused strong repercussions in China, Davis found Chen Hao.

"Chen, congratulations, you have won the first battle." Davis said with a happy face.

"Same joy, same joy!" Chen Hao laughed when he heard this.

Davis couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He had always been optimistic about Chen Hao before, and now the success of "Saw" undoubtedly proved how good his vision is.

More importantly, he directly defeated Tommy Motorola in the head-to-head competition, which was considered a small victory.

Although there is still some distance from the position of president, Davis believes that he has the upper hand.

And Chen Hao in front of him is an important bargaining chip for him.

Through the three films written and directed by Chen Hao, Davis really understood the potential and strength of this guy.

And Davis believes that as long as Chen Hao is given more help, he will be able to surprise himself even more.

Now, Davis has identified Chen Hao and is going to bind him with him, at least in terms of investment and production, he can bring himself enough credit.

Moreover, Chen Hao also has a company in China, and now that Colombia attaches so much importance to the mainland China market, Haotian Film and Television, a local company, is also a big help.

"Any plans for a second movie?" Davis asked.

He knew that the young man in front of him was a quick shooter, and he had finished shooting three movies in less than a year, and all of them were released.

Although "Comet" and "Chain Saw" were easy to shoot due to the script, investment and other reasons, this speed is also terrifying!

"I already have an idea, and the script has been written for a long time, and it should be completed soon." Chen Hao said directly.

For Davis, although Chen Hao is not a life-and-death friend, compared to other Hollywood companies, he still has more trust. In addition to cooperating with him many times, it is also because the two parties have common interests.

Cooperation benefits both, and this kind of cooperation makes Chen Hao feel more at ease. After all, there are no saints in this world, and even if there are, they are not something you can meet.

"I knew it." Davis laughed when he heard the words, "In view of the performance of "Chain Saw", the company decided to invest in your second film, but it still can only give an investment of 1500 million U.S. dollars."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, "1500 million dollars should be enough."

Davis was relieved when he heard the words. He had promised Chen Hao an investment of 1500 million US dollars before, but now "Saw" was successful, but it was still 1500 million US dollars. He was worried that Chen Hao would have opinions.

"If the investment is not enough at that time, we can go and pull it. I believe it should be much easier now." Chen Hao laughed.

Davis frowned when he heard the words, "How many other companies came to you?"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, and Lionsgate, etc."

Although the cooperation with Davis is pleasant, after all, in North America, in order to prevent Colombia from being too strong and even affect his plan, Chen Hao had to find someone to contain Colombia.

"I know this group of guys, they are like flies." Davis couldn't help cursing after hearing this.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes angrily when he heard the words, what did he take himself for?

"Don't worry, we've been working together for so long, even if I suffer a bit, Colombia will give priority, unless the other party offers something that I really can't refuse." Chen Hao said.

Davis nodded when he heard the words. He understood Chinese culture and Chen Hao, "Don't worry, they can give it no matter what the conditions are, and Columbia can do the same."

"Of course I can trust you." Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In the subsequent conversation, Davis didn't mention the copyright of "Chain Saw", because he knew that if he mentioned it, Chen Hao would feel a thorn in his heart, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

Chen Hao also wanted to see if Davis would mention the copyright of "Chain Saw" today. Obviously, Davis' performance made him very satisfied, so let's continue to cooperate.

In any case, the two sides are now in the honeymoon period, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the dominant one.

Another week has passed, and the North American film market has ushered in a super blockbuster this week, and its box office performance can be said to be the only one!
This week, the much-anticipated "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber" was released simultaneously in eight countries around the world. The single-day box office in North America on Friday was 2884 million US dollars, and there is no doubt that it will be the top box office leader in North America!
When "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber of Secrets" starring the original cast of the first episode was released, many viewers had already lined up at the entrance of the cinema at four o'clock in the morning, waiting to buy tickets.

The result was as expected. As soon as "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber" was released, the box office has been far ahead of other movies by several blocks. On Friday, it received a box office of 2 million US dollars in a single day. Topped the box office charts.

However, the single-day box office failed to break the box office record of the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and it is estimated that the third and fourth days of release will be inferior to the first one.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" earned $3230 million in a single daily when it was released last year, and "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber" was a full 11% higher.

And "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber of Secrets" was only ranked ninth in the best single-day box office in North American history on Friday.

A week later, "Harry Potter 2: The Chamber of Secrets" grossed a total of $8835 million over the three-day weekend.

Although this box office result did not break the second-highest box office record in history set by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the cumulative box office was 9030 million US dollars in three days.

However, it surpassed the box office performance of "Star Wars Episode II: Invasion of the Clones" released in May this year with a box office score of 5 million US dollars in the first weekend, ranking second in the first weekend box office list in North American film history!

The first place was also released in May this year, "Spider-Man" with a cumulative box office of 5 million US dollars in three days on weekends!
Affected by the strong release of "Harry Potter 2: The Vanishing Chamber", the box office of the top-ranking movies last week all dropped sharply last week.

"Chain Saw" won a total of 643 million box office in three days last weekend, ranking eighth on the list.

The total box office in a single week was 1036 million, and after three weeks, the total box office was 4575 million!
Chainsaw is getting closer and closer to breaking $5000 million, most likely in the next week!
And after knowing the three-week total box office of "Saw", Chen Hao left the United States satisfied.

Now that "Saw" has made a big hit at the box office, and it has received an investment of 1500 million US dollars from Colombia, Chen Hao can return to China with peace of mind.

After returning to the imperial capital, Chen Hao went back to the company first, and then Ning Hao came to find him.

"Why, the script is finished?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Not yet, I'm here because someone asked me to be the executive director of a TV series!" Ning Hao said.

"The executive director of the TV series?" Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, "Who is it?"

"Zhu Zhibin!" Ning Hao said, "The producer of "Don't Talk to Strangers."

Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, this is the shadow of his childhood, "You decide for yourself!"

Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "I decided to take over. One is that my script has not been finished yet, but since the company has positioned TV dramas as one of the development routes, then I can also practice first."

"Of course." Chen Hao said, "If you think you've finished practicing, let's start a TV series directly."

Ning Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way, what's the name of the TV series?" Chen Hao asked.

"'Chinese Style Divorce'!" Ning Hao said.

""Chinese Style Divorce"?" Chen Hao frowned, "Chen Daoming and Zuo Xiaoqing starring?"

"How do you know?" Ning Hao asked puzzled.

"Ha ha……"
