Chapter 235 "Saw 2" First Weekend Box Office
Chen Hao established Haotian Special Effects, not only to prepare for his future film special effects, but also has the ambition to establish a special effects company that ranks first in the world.

However, the expenses of maintaining a special effects company are undoubtedly huge, and Chen Hao has to invest money continuously.

Especially now that Haotian's special effects have not yet become famous, it is estimated that it will be difficult to accept jobs.

So Chen Hao is going to find a job for Haotian Special Effects, which is not only his own investment, but also can support Haotian Special Effects, and can also exercise the technical ability of Haotian Special Effects, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
"It's not that Haotian's special effects can't make animated films, but there may be a gap between "Ice Age" and "Schrek"!" Chang Hongsong replied.

"Is there a big difference between the production of animated films and film special effects?" Chen Hao asked casually, quite curious.

"Film and television special effects belong to post-packaging special effects, mainly to synthesize pre-shooting and post-false images, and the software usually used is C4D and AE software.

Animation special effects usually include natural cluster special effects such as wind, rain, fire, cloud, hair, cloth, etc. This kind of scene is usually grand and there are no materials that can be used directly, so special effects artists need to make it in MAYA software.

There are still some differences between the two, and the software used is also completely different. The former's position is correctly called a film and television post-production compositor, while the latter is called a special effects engineer in the industry. "Chang Hongsong replied.

"How long will it take for Haotian's special effects to reach the level of "Ice Age"? How long does it usually take to produce an animated film?" Chen Hao asked.

"The production time of an animated film like Hollywood is generally about 3 years, but if Haotian Special Effects wants to produce a Hollywood-level animated film, it is estimated that it will take at least 4 years!" Chang Hongsong said.

"Then how long will it take if I finish writing the script, complete the various character designs, and expand the company's recruitment?" Chen Hao continued to ask.

"Even so, it will take at least three years!" Chang Hongsong said, "Are you going to expand the enrollment?"

"Yes, I said that I want to build a world-class special effects company, and I plan to contract the domestic special effects market, so the expansion of enrollment is certain, and the headquarters will move back to the imperial capital in the future.

After all, there must be more talents in the mainland than Xiangjiang, a small place, and special effects have not yet developed in the mainland, so we should try our best to absorb all talents to create Haotian special effects together.

Of course, Xiangjiang will remain as a branch, and it is estimated that several branches will be opened in the future. After all, the special effects market in the future will definitely be larger than it is now. " Chen Hao said.

Chang Hongsong nodded excitedly when he heard the words, it seems that his boss is really ambitious for the special effects company, and he is willing to invest money, which makes Chang Hongsong very happy!

More importantly, Chang Hongsong has seen Chen Hao's patience. After all, if he is willing to invest in the production of animated films, he will have to wait at least 3 years. This is not an investor who wants to make quick money and leave immediately.

"Okay, let me tell you what you have in mind." Chen Hao said, and then took out another script, "This is the script, and there are character designs. Let's see how much it costs to make this animated film."

Chang Hongsong took the script and read it, "Kung Fu Panda?"

"Yes, that's the next task for you. Of course, if you have work, you have to continue. The most important thing is to seize the time to improve your ability." Chen Hao said.

Chang Hongsong assured after hearing the words, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will never let you down!"

"I have confidence in you." Chen Hao said with a smile, "If you have a budget, please let me know!"

"No problem." Chang Hongsong smiled.

……

After finishing the Haotian special effects group, Chen Hao didn't make any stops, and went directly to the United States by plane!
After arriving in the United States, Chen Hao didn't delay for a moment, and directly participated in a promotional activity for "Saw 2".

After Chen Hao's arrival, the scene also had a small climax. After all, Chen Hao is considered the father of "Saw", because "Saw" has won the love of many horror movie fans.

In addition, "Taken" has a North American box office of more than [-] million, which is already a minor celebrity in North America, and its influence is naturally not Wen Ziren Kobe's.

"Chen, do you think the second part of the series directed by Wen can surpass your first one?"

"There is no doubt that Wen is a very talented director. I believe in his ability, so I entrust this series to him!" Chen Hao praised without hesitation.

""Saw 2" was released on Halloween, and last week's "Scream 3" won a super high box office of 4970 million US dollars, breaking the record for the premiere of a new film in October in North America. Will this Have a big impact on "Chain Saw 10"?"

"Scream is indeed a very good horror comedy series, but I believe that "Saw 2" is no worse than it." Chen Hao raised his eyebrows.

"So, do you think "Saw 2" will beat "Scream 3"?" The reporters asked with blind eyes.

"Yes, one is the first week, and the other is already the second week. I think "Saw 2" can win." Chen Hao naturally stood up for his film.

"Then can you predict the box office of "Saw 2"?" the reporters chased after him.

"It should be able to break through [-] million!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Breaking [-] million?" The reporters were taken aback when they heard this.

Wen Ziren and other main creators were also stunned when they heard the words, the boss must have too much confidence in himself!Why am I so stupid!

The reporters couldn't help grinning afterward. It seemed that Chen Hao had a big mouth, or he was arrogant, but the reporters liked such an open-mouthed person the most.

After the event, Wen Ziren said helplessly, "Mr. Chen, are you speaking too loudly? I'm under pressure!"

"Haha, for publicity, it's just bragging, and when I say over [-] million, it doesn't necessarily mean over [-] million in North America, but over [-] million globally, right?" Chen Hao laughed.

Wen Ziren felt a little relieved when he heard the words, "Chain Saw 1" earned US$5515 million in North America and US$1.03 million worldwide!
After gaining word of mouth, as the second part of the series, as long as it is not bad, generally speaking, the box office will be higher. It should not be too difficult to exceed [-] million worldwide!

"Saw 2 will beat Scream 3!" - The Washington Post

"Chen swears, the box office of "Saw 2" will definitely exceed [-] million!"--"Detroit Free Press"

""Saw 2" defeated "Scream 3", is Chen overconfident?" -- "Boston Globe"

……

Soon, the media reported Chen Hao's words, but most of them ridiculed secretly.

After all, "Saw 2" had an investment of only $350 million, while "Scream 3" had an investment of $4500 million, and it just set a new record.

Many media also insinuated Chen Hao's identity as a Chinese, thinking that Chen Hao would soon encounter Waterloo like his compatriots Wu Baige and Li An!
Wen Ziren didn't look too good about this, but Chen Hao was indifferent, and had already been staring at the special effects production of "The Ninth District".

Soon, three days of the weekend passed, and the North American weekend box office rankings were officially released!
PS: The company's Mid-Autumn Festival promotions have started to get busy, and I will start working overtime this weekend, and I may work night shifts in the future, so I can't do more updates, or even stop updates. I can only try to keep two updates a day!Sorry, everyone!
　Thank you for the 200 tip from "I'm a Handsome Guy"!
