Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 272 Promoted to Second
The popularity of Haotian Holdings is still fermenting. For this reason, Chen Hao has also received many phone calls and text messages from celebrity artists he knows or does not know, including Sidan Shuangbing!
This time Chen Hao did not refuse the invitations of several of them, because he needs to use three female characters in his new film.

If they can join in, it will definitely be of great benefit to the film's box office.

At the same time, Chen Hao also received a call from Wang Jinghua. This time, Chen Hao could more clearly feel that there was a problem between Wang Jinghua and Huayi.

Facing Wang Jinghua's intention to cooperate, Chen Hao hesitated, after all, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.

However, even if Wang Jinghua wants to leave Huayi, it will be next year. After all, the two parties have a contract, and Chen Hao still has time to consider whether to cooperate with him!

At the same time, a new week has passed, and last week's North American weekend box office rankings are freshly released.

Affected by the Oscar nominations, the box office of "The Ninth District" did not fall but increased for three days last weekend, showing a reverse growth situation.

"The Ninth District" made a box office of 3 million US dollars in 856 days on the weekend, surpassing the 733 million US dollars last week.

With the US$1.35 million of "The Ninth District", Chen Hao has successively surpassed Li Press's US$1.28 million of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and US$1.32 million of "Hulk".

It became the second highest-grossing Chinese director in the United States, second only to Wu Baige's "Mission: Impossible 2.15" with US$2 million.

It is worth mentioning that the box office of Wu Baige's new film "Memory Rift", which was released at the same time as "The Ninth District", stayed at 5300 million US dollars.

Compared with the investment of 6000 million US dollars, it is undoubtedly a loss again. Wu Baige's trip to Hollywood is basically confirmed and has come to an end!

"The box office of "The Ninth District" reversed its decline at the weekend, breaking through [-] million U.S. dollars in a single week!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"The cumulative box office of "The Ninth District" is 1.35 million U.S. dollars, or about 11.12 billion yuan!"-- Netease Entertainment
"In North American box office, Chen Hao surpassed Li An, second only to Wu Baige!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

After the news was sent back to China, the media naturally reported it again.

Anyway, as long as there is news related to Chen Hao, everyone is very interested.

Now Chen Hao has surpassed Li Yong of Baodao again, which made Chen Hao look more talented, and was praised by the media as an unborn genius.

Coupled with the exposure of Haotian Holdings, the mainland media is a bit like a myth about Chen Hao!

However, the turmoil from the outside world did not bother Chen Hao, because after Haotian Film and Television resumed work, Chen Hao also officially started his own work, promoting "The Ninth District"!
"The Ninth District" will be released in the mainland on February 2th, and there are only 13 weeks left for the crew to promote it.

However, Chen Hao is not particularly worried, because "The Ninth District" can definitely be said to be the hottest movie in the mainland recently.

After all, even the news network has been on it, and it is impossible to have a low popularity!
However, the production crew carried out publicity as usual, and the male protagonist Downey was also invited by Chen Hao to the domestic platform.

But at this time, Downey is not the iron man who turned back as a prodigal son in later generations. Although he also starred in Chen Hao's "Chain Saw" and "Taken", his popularity is not too high.

Fortunately, Downey and Chen Hao had learned a few bad Chinese words, which always made everyone laugh.

While Chen Hao was busy promoting "District [-]", he received a call from Greg Silverman from Warner Bros.

Seeing Greg Silverman's call, Chen Hao raised his eyebrows. It seems that Warner Bros. has made up his mind!
"Hi, Greg Silverman!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Hello, Chen, congratulations!" Greg Silverman laughed.

Chen Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, it seems to be a success!
"Congratulations on your four Oscar nominations, that's an amazing achievement!" Greg Silverman exclaimed.

Chen Hao almost choked up his old blood after hearing this, what the fuck, that's not what I wanted to hear!
"Uh...thank you!" Chen Hao refrained from complaining.

After chatting awkwardly for a while, the two finally got to the point.

"I'm calling. Besides congratulating you, I also want to talk to you about the company's selection of Batman's director." Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao's heart moved when he heard the words, "How was the result?"

"After repeated discussions, we hope that you and Nolan can jointly direct, what do you think?" Greg Silverman said.

"Co-directing?" Chen Hao was surprised when he heard the words. He really didn't expect that Warner Bros. would come up with such a compromise.

"Yes, we looked at the proposals of the two of you and felt that there were many similarities and commonalities, so we thought that if you two worked together, we might be able to collide with more inspirations." Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao didn't answer when he heard the words, but fell into deep thought. Do you want to direct "Batman" with Nolan?
To be honest, Chen Hao's first reaction was unwillingness.

Although "Batman" can indeed be called the greatest superhero movie, this title is not too important to Chen Hao.

The past life of "Batman" did make Nolan one of the world-renowned directors, but in the opinion of Chen Hao, who has a golden finger, it is not a must.

Moreover, Nolan, as Chen Hao's favorite director, some of his films are also in Chen Hao's plan, and I feel a little ashamed of him when I say it.

Originally, if Warner Bros. directly agreed to direct him, Chen Hao would be able to go along with it, but he didn't expect to get a co-director now.

I don't know if it's because of the inertia of history, or because Nolan's luck is too strong!

After thinking about it, Chen Hao said, "I need to think about it! I really didn't expect you to come up with this plan!"

Greg Silverman heard the words, "Well, you can consider it, but I really hope you can join this plan."

"OK, I will think carefully and give you an answer as soon as possible." Chen Hao nodded.

"What's the matter, buddy?" Donnie asked at the side seeing Chen Hao's appearance.

"Warner Bros. invited me to direct the rebooted "Batman", but also asked me to co-direct with Christopher Nolan." Chen Hao said.

"'Batman'?" Downey was taken aback when he heard that. "This is one of the most popular superheroes in North America, much more popular than 'Iron Man'."

"Don't you like Iron Man?" Chen Hao suddenly asked with a smile when he heard the words.

"No, I like it very much. Maybe it's because of my past. I prefer those imperfect characters. Iron Man is such a superhero." Downey shrugged and said frankly.

"Maybe in the future you will have the opportunity to play Iron Man." Chen Hao patted Downey on the shoulder and said.

"Wow, then I'm willing to act for free." Downey laughed loudly.

"This is what you said, remember!" Chen Hao also laughed when he heard the words.

Soon, the time came to February 2th, and "The Ninth District" will officially premiere in the mainland on this day!
