Chapter 197 Binding Wen Ziren (Fourth)
After Chen Hao said goodbye to Yaya, he explained to Xing Aina and Hao Yi, and then went directly to the United States to prepare for the release of "Taken".

After Chen Hao came to Los Angeles, he went directly to Liangtianchi Films. The current Liangtianchi is different from the past.

The former Quantianchi can only be said to be a leather bag company, but now it has 4 employees.

A front desk, an accountant, and Wen Ziren and his good friend Ravenal.

When Chen Hao first arrived at the company, the front desk didn't even recognize him. It was Wen Ziren who saw Chen Hao, walked over quickly and shouted, "Mr. Chen, you're here!"

"Wen, long time no see, how are you doing?" Chen Hao nodded with a smile, and went to his office under Wen Ziren's guidance.

"Recently I've been busy revising the script of "Saw 2", um, I've been living a fulfilling life." Wen Ziren said with a smile.

"It seems that the script has been polished." Chen Hao smiled.

"Yes, I'll show it to you right now!" Wen Ziren ran out excitedly after finishing speaking.

Only now did Chen Hao have time to look at his office. The area is not small, and the decoration is quite simple. It doesn't matter. The only dissatisfaction is that there is no small room for rest.

Soon, Wen Ziren ran back, stopped at the door, walked in step by step, and handed the script to Chen Hao with both hands cautiously.

After Chen Hao took it, he looked through it carefully, and found that it was slightly different from the second part of the series in his memory, but overall it didn't change much.

After pretentiously watching it, Chen Hao directly looked up at Wen Ziren, "Wen, don't blame me for being unkind, I am going to let you direct "Chain Saw 2", but you have to sign a contract with Liang Tianchi Films for 15 years." movie."

Wen Ziren was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his mood became very complicated.

He was naturally very happy to be able to direct "Chain Saw 2", but it was a bit of a pitfall to sign with Liang Tianchi for 15 movies.

This is definitely more beneficial to Liang Tianchi. If Wen Ziren can become famous, then Liang Tianchi is equivalent to binding a well-known director.

And 15 movies, even if Wen Ziren can make one movie a year, it will be tied up for 15 years, even though Wen Ziren is still young enough.

On the contrary, if Wen Ziren fails to succeed, then the ruler can be directly invalidated.

Undoubtedly, facing the unknown Wen Ziren, Liang Tianchi is the stronger side, and he is not yet qualified enough to raise conditions.

Of course, from another point of view, the conditions are a bit harsher, but Wen Ziren has at least got a chance to prove himself, and he has prepared for "Chain Saw 2" for several months, and he is very reluctant .

"Can it be changed to 10 movies?" Wen Ziren asked tentatively, although he himself knew that it was impossible.

Chen Hao directly shook his head, "Impossible, but no matter whether "Saw 2" succeeds or not, I can guarantee you three chances, and you won't be ignored if you fail once.

In addition, the contract conditions given to you are not static, and the company will give you a considerable reward according to your value. "

Wen Ziren felt better when he heard the words. Now, Liang Tianchi gave him a chance, and he will also give him a reasonable reward. The rarest thing is that he can have three chances, which is the most important point.

Many directors are directors for the first time, and then they become directors for the last time. To be able to give a director three chances is the best of humanity.

After all, Wen Ziren can't guarantee that he will be able to succeed. With these three opportunities, at least he is more likely to succeed than many other newcomers.

Wen Ziren's thoughts changed sharply, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll do it!"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Then enjoy the cooperation! After our contract is signed, you can start the budget and other preparations for "Saw 2."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will definitely not let you down." Wen Ziren said harshly.

"I'm optimistic about you, otherwise I won't give you a chance." Chen Hao said with a smile, "I will be the producer of the film, but I don't have much energy to go to the set, and you can handle it yourself. If you can't handle it, you can shoot again." Give me."

Wen Ziren nodded excitedly when he heard the words. Chen Hao's words obviously handed over the entire crew to him, so that he would not be restrained by the producer, and no one would point fingers. Naturally, he wished for it.

"But it's your first time as a director, so you have to be careful. If you overspend, don't blame me for joining the crew." Chen Hao laughed.

Wen Ziren was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded quickly.

Chen Hao was also afraid that Wen Ziren would not be able to hold the feature film for the first time. If he was like Cameron, he would be cheating, so he had to warn again if he gave the sweet.

Then the two chatted some more about the movie, and Davis came.

"Chen, I finally saw you in America." Davis said happily.

"It seems that you are in a hurry!" Chen Hao laughed.

Davis nodded directly. As the head of Columbia's Asian region, several Asian films he is currently in charge of investing have not yet been released, especially in the current situation of SARS in East Asia, which is not optimistic.

On the contrary, it was Chen Hao's "Chain Saw" that made him lose his face in the head office. Now is the time to pursue the victory, so he has been waiting for Chen Hao's "Taken".

If "Taken" can meet the box office expectations, then no matter how the Asian region performs, he will be invincible, and he can even be transferred back to the head office earlier.

After all, three-quarters of the investment in "Taken" comes from Colombia. As long as "Taken" succeeds, it will be another great achievement.

The key is that Chen Hao is the card he can get for the time being. After all, he is in Asia and cannot reach North America. He cannot participate in some big productions. Fortunately, he met Chen Hao.

"The movie has already been filmed, and I want to release it as soon as possible." Chen Hao also said directly.

Now both of them are counting on "Taken" to be released and sold quickly.

Davis nodded when he heard the words, "That's right. After all, it's already March. If it's any later, it's going to be the summer season, when the competition is tough, so I can only choose the spring time."

The spring time in North America is generally from the first weekend in March to the Thursday before the first weekend in May.

This schedule is relatively cold. On the one hand, the holiday schedule has just passed, and there are fewer tourists, and the blockbuster movies that should be released have basically been released.

Second, the Oscars have just passed, and the best films competing for the Oscars have basically completed their box office battle.

Ever since, there are mainly several types of films released in this period.

One is that it was originally intended to compete for an Oscar last year, but it was postponed due to poor test screenings.

The second is a horror film for the purpose of attracting money.

The third is the annual small film, or a film with little box office potential.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, this schedule is less competitive, and the following summer schedule is too fierce, so some giants will arrange blockbuster movies in this schedule.

It is equivalent to ten birds in the forest as one bird in the hand. Take it all in this low season of the film market, and the box office is also very impressive!
