Chapter 283 Black Widow Acquired

When "The Ninth District" won 2130 million yuan in the mainland the next week, it also won a weekend box office of 270 million US dollars in North America.

The cumulative box office of "The Ninth District" in the North American film market has reached 1.47 million US dollars, continuing to refresh Chen Hao's personal best North American box office record!
At the same time, "The Ninth District" was officially released in countries and regions other than the mainland and the North American film market, with a total overseas box office of 8300 million US dollars!

This box office result also broke the overseas box office record of 8100 million US dollars created by "Taken", and refreshed Chen Hao's personal highest overseas box office score!
The global box office of "The Ninth District" has also reached 2.34 million U.S. dollars, which is 1100 million U.S. dollars short of Li Press's "Hulk".

In the case that the mainland and North America have not yet been released, "The Ninth District" is likely to overtake and surpass Li Press in the single-film global box office record!

And after "The Ninth District" came out at the box office the next week, Chen Hao stayed in the capital for a few days, dealing with company work and preparing for a new film.

After announcing that Fan Jinsuo joined Chen Hao's new film, Haotian Film and Television announced that Chen Kun would join in!

This news made the media lively again.

"The Ninth District" has only been released for two weeks now, and Chen Hao is already preparing a new film!

Fast man, really well-deserved reputation!
At the same time, the media was also a little surprised and curious about Chen Hao's choice of a mainland actor as the male number one in his film again!

Apart from the three co-produced films, the only two domestic films Chen Hao chose were mainland actors as leading actors.

Among them, "Comet" is different, because Chen Hao was still a fledgling at that time and had no reputation, and the cost of the movie was only 5 yuan, so he couldn't afford to invite a big bowl of superstars from Xiangjiang Baodao.

In the subsequent "Moon", Chen Hao chose Xu Shan to cooperate again!

If "Moon" can be regarded as justifiable, after all, it has just become famous, but Chen Kun from the mainland was chosen again for the new film, which surprised everyone!

After all, Chen Hao's way of choosing the hero is a bit unorthodox now!

Take a look at Guo Shi's "Ambush from Ten Daggers", the heroines are Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu, and Feng Dapao's "A World Without Thieves", the heroine is Liu Dehua!
Master Xing's "Kung Fu" and Cheng Long's "New Police Story" are both himself and Hong Kong superstars.

Only Chen Hao's chosen hero is a young student from the new generation in the Mainland!
At the beginning of the century, when the mainland film market had not yet risen, the three major directors had no choice but to choose Xiangjiang superstars as the male lead for box office considerations.

Therefore, Chen Hao's approach seemed too different!

So many reporters asked, "Director Chen, why didn't you choose Xiangjiang superstar as the male lead?"

Chen Hao said with a smile, "It takes money to hire a Hong Kong superstar, but I'm making a sci-fi film, so I must do my best to save as much money as possible for special effects!"

The reporters couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words. Indeed, if all the investment in a sci-fi film was spent on hiring stars, then the special effects must be a mess, which can be called [-] cents!

It's no wonder that Chen Hao was able to make a classic science fiction film. The script is one aspect, and this is also the main reason in terms of capital investment!

"Then aren't you afraid that the film will lose money because the actors don't have box office appeal?" the reporter continued to ask.

""Moon" has proved that a mainland actor as the leading actor can also sell well at the box office!" Chen Hao laughed, "And the leading actor has no appeal, I have it, and that's fine!"

When the reporters heard the words, they could only praise Chen Hao's pretentiousness. The North American box office exceeded [-] million, and he was nominated for an Oscar. The director who has not missed all the films so far is awesome!

Soon, after finishing all the work at hand, Chen Hao flew to the United States!
After coming to the United States, Chen Hao went directly to Liangtianchi Films!

On the way, Chen Hao called Greg Silverman of Warner Bros. and politely declined the offer to direct the reboot of "Batman" with Nolan.

In this regard, Greg Silverman persuaded again, but Chen Hao still did not agree.

In this regard, Greg Silverman regrets, but hopes that the two parties can cooperate in the future.

After all, Liang Tianchi has many high-quality projects, and Chen Hao, as a newly rising talented director in North America, maintains a good relationship is a basic operation!
Afterwards, Chen Hao called Davis again. In addition to congratulating him on his appointment, he also asked about joining the MGM acquisition team.

Davis' answer made Chen Hao ecstatic. Sony America is now establishing MGM Holdings, and it is time to seek a consortium to join.

Although Chen Hao's Quantianchi Pictures is too small for Sony, as long as they can spend money to help complete the acquisition of MGM, then Sony America is willing to accept it.

Anyway, Sony is just trying to promote its own Blu-ray, and the purpose of Liang Tianchi Pictures does not conflict with Sony America.

Moreover, the shares held by Liang Tianchi are very small, so there is no harm in cooperating.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao couldn't help but waved his fist. Being able to join MGM Holdings is of great subversive significance to the development of Liang Tianchi.

Being able to have its own stable distribution channel, then the measuring ruler is not a rootless duckweed, and it will not be killed so easily!
With excitement, Chen Hao came to Liangtianchi Pictures.

As soon as he came back, Smart followed Chen Hao's office.

"These are some of the more important things in the company recently, take a look!" Smart said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao picked it up and flipped through it while asking, "Has Wen's "Saw 3" started shooting?"

"Just turned it on!" Smart said.

Chen Hao nodded, "Are these the two movies you chose to invest in?"

"Yes, one is the horror film "Suspect Zero" and the other is the comedy "Barbecue", and the cost of the two films is not high." Smart replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. They are all low-cost movies, and they are all types of movies that are easy to make a big fortune with a small amount.

After looking at the planning proposals of the two films, and taking a look at the selling points and budget, Chen Hao felt that they were not bad, at least he shouldn't lose much!
"By the way, I have already refused to direct the new version of "Batman", which means that I will direct a movie in the second half of the year." Chen Hao said.

"That company will have four movies this year!" Smart said.

"That's right!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile, producing 4 films a year is actually not too much for many American film companies.

Especially horror films, comedy films, youth films, etc., are basically based on the same model, and it is easy to mass-produce them.

However, there are Chen Hao's new films and "Saw 3", which are obviously more guaranteed at the box office!

"By the way, what's going on with the Marvel superhero copyright?" Chen Hao asked.

"Marvel doesn't seem to want to sell the copyright anymore, but Lionsgate Pictures is quite sincere in cooperation, so it sold us the right to adapt the film and television of Black Widow!" Smart said.

Chen Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, another not-so-popular Marvel superhero had acquired the copyright.
