Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 266 News Network
"Senior, since Huaying decided to support "The Ninth District", how about the box office share?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Your boy is climbing up the ladder!" Han Sanpin smiled helplessly when he heard the words, "However, since I said I would support you, it is also a reward for your willingness to return to China. Give you 40% of the achievements!"

"That's really great, senior, so that I can have a little bit of confidence when shooting domestic films, otherwise I'm afraid I will lose money!" Chen Hao laughed.

The 40% box office share is currently the highest in the country, and the box office share of Guoshi's "Hero" is 40%.

Now, relying on his fame and his willingness to return to China to support the domestic film industry, Chen Hao finally got this share!
"I'm talking about the box office share of "The Ninth District". When did you talk about your domestic film!" Han Sanpin couldn't help laughing and cursing.

"Hey, since the 40% share has already been given, there is absolutely no reason to lower it back. I believe that the theater will agree to my request." Chen Hao said confidently.

"Okay, young people must have self-confidence. As long as you have the ability, then you can get the share you want." Han Sanpin smiled and said, "Have you already thought about the next movie?"

"Yes, the script is almost finished." Chen Hao said.

"What type? How much is the investment?" Han Sanpin asked repeatedly.

Obviously, Han Sanpin's expectations for Chen Hao are not just as simple as the return of the box office. As the vice president of Huaying in charge of film production, what he wants most is that Chen Hao can boost the box office of domestic films.

As for making a profit at the box office, that's secondary!

The concept of Han Sanpin is undoubtedly influenced by Hollywood blockbusters, big investment, big production, and big lineup can create high box office!

Guoshi's "Hero" is a proof. With an investment of 3000 million US dollars, Hong Kong's mainland superstars gathered together, and then "Hero" created a box office miracle, officially opening the era of blockbuster movies in the mainland.

It is a pity that after "Hero", there was no box office miracle again, and the audience who were finally attracted to the theater returned to their previous state, which made Han Sanpin very regretful.

At present, Han Sanpin can only count on the three directors, Chen Hao, and director Xiangjiang!
Chen Hao is undoubtedly the key training target, after all, he is young enough, talented, and has a brilliant record!
If Chen Hao said it was a small investment now, Han Sanpin might still be disappointed!

"It's a sci-fi drama romance film, with an investment of about 3500 million yuan!" Chen Hao replied.

Han Sanpin nodded when he heard the words, a little disappointed. After all, compared with the 3000 million US dollars invested in "Hero", 3500 million RMB is not enough.

But when I heard that it was a sci-fi film, I had some expectations. After all, Chen Hao's "Comet", "Moon" and "District [-]" had already made a name for themselves.

It is said that Chen Hao is the director who is best at making sci-fi films in China and even Asia, I believe many people will not object.

And for a domestic film, an investment of 3500 million yuan is already considered a big production, after all, the average investment of domestic films last year was less than 500 million!
More than 70% of domestic films are losing money, and Han Sanpin can also understand that Chen Hao must consider the issue of profitability.

The mainland is not like the United States. There are so many distribution channels and copyright revenues, and the box office in the mainland accounts for 90% of the total revenue.

It's just that the box office was high, but it ended up losing money. Obviously, Chen Hao didn't want to, after all, he had to pay real money.

The public may say that Chen Hao is awesome just by looking at the box office, but the industry obviously pays more attention to profitability, and Chen Hao's company also has to make money.

Now in the mainland, there are too few directors who can keep the movie box office profitable!

"Well, just ask how much money you need to invest." Han Sanpin said.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard the words. This means that Huaying must be brought with him. As for the money, he can ask for whatever he wants, "I will contact Huaying when I finish writing the script and prepare the final budget."

"Okay, you can just contact Old Tang when the time comes." Han Sanpin said with a smile.

After finishing the phone call with Han Sanpin, Chen Hao returned to the room with a smile and continued writing the script.

When eating at night, Chen's father and Chen's mother saw Chen Hao smiling all the time, so they asked, "What kind of happy event, so happy?"

Chen Hao smiled and pointed to the TV.

Father Chen was even more puzzled when he heard the words, "What's wrong with the TV?"

"I might be on the news broadcast!" Chen Hao laughed.

"What?" Chen's father and Chen's mother were taken aback when they heard the words, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Hao was a little depressed when he heard the words, "Isn't the film I made nominated for an Oscar, this matter may be broadcast on the news network!"

"Really?" Seeing Chen Hao's innocent face, Chen's father was a little uncertain, "The news broadcasts are all national and global events. Does making a movie count as a national event?"

"It's a little troublesome to explain, you can figure it out if you don't see it yourself." Chen Hao said helplessly.

Chen's father and Chen's mother were refreshed when they heard the words, and it seemed that their son didn't seem to be joking. Does that mean that his son could really be on the news broadcast?

Thinking of this, the couple directly brought the food to the coffee table, and while eating, they never took their eyes off the TV!
Although Chen Hao was still at the dinner table, he never took his eyes off the TV. After all, he was a human being for three generations, and this was the first time a big girl got on a sedan chair!
Finally, at 19:15:15, Zhang Hongmin spoke.

"The following inserts a newsletter. The Chinese-American co-production film "The Ninth District" directed by the young Chinese director Chen Hao has already achieved a box office record of 1.29 million US dollars in the United States.

At the same time, in the shortlist announced for the 76th Academy Awards a few days ago, "The Ninth District" won a total of 4 nominations for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing.

Became the first director in mainland my country to be nominated for 4 Oscars!
The success of Chen Hao and "The Ninth District" shows that the mainland's film system reform has achieved initial success and is booming..."

"Xiaohao, it's really on the news broadcast!" Father Chen's first reaction after hearing the news was that it was untrue.

On the other hand, Chen's mother was already smiling from ear to ear, and looked back at her son, no matter how handsome he looked, he was indeed born by me.

Chen Hao felt a little regretful, because the news broadcast was just the host Zhang Hongmin's oral broadcast, and he didn't even show a handsome photo of Chen Hao.

However, with the 15-second oral broadcast of the overlord "News Network" and the impact it caused, the effect is absolutely terrifying, worth tens of millions of publicity fees.

After all, it is 2004, and the Internet and smart phones have not yet been popularized nationwide, so TV is the first choice of entertainment for the general public.

It is also the reason why the ratings of CCAV1 TV series can reach 10%. In later generations, the ratings can reach 2%, which is already a hot drama!

Now, Chen Hao is not worried about the promotion of "District [-]" anymore!
