Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 419 Influence
"Director Chen, can you briefly introduce your new film?"

"My new film is called The Martian, and it's a story about surviving alone on Mars, simply put, it's the space version of Robinson Crusoe.

The film's investment will reach 8000 million RMB, and the leading actor will be starring Zhou Runfa. "Chen Hao introduced.

The reporters were speechless for a while, but they are used to Chen Hao's introduction, spring and autumn style of writing, keeping mystery, hunger marketing!
But hearing the investment of 8000 million RMB, I couldn't help but feel refreshed. This is a big deal.

Compared with the current average investment of less than 500 million yuan in domestic films, it is indeed a big investment and a big production.

8000 million investment, if you want to recover the cost in the mainland, then the final box office must reach at least 2 million yuan.

Now that they dare to invest so much, only the four major directors can make people confident. The mainland can't recover the cost, and overseas can sell copyrights without losing money.

At the same time, this is also the first time Chen Hao has cooperated with a Hong Kong superstar. Although Zhou Runfa came back from Hollywood a bit downcast, the title of God of Gamblers is still very famous in the mainland.

With an investment of 8000 million and the first cooperation with Hong Kong superstars, I don't know what kind of box office frenzy "The Martian" will set off this summer.

After Feng Dapao and Xingye had no new films released, and Guoshi went to make literary films, the box office of domestic films in the mainland this year is obviously relying on Chen Hao and Chen Kaige to carry the banner!
Before the media conducted a survey on which of the two would win the annual box office champion, it was obvious that the two were expected, but they didn't know who would win in the end!

After the press conference, Chen Hao rushed directly to the studio in Hebei Province, and the content of the press conference soon made headlines in the media.

"Haotian Films launched the 'Haotian New Director Program', with no upper limit for investment, aimed at cultivating new mainland directors!" -- Sohu Entertainment Report
"Chen Hao's new sci-fi film "The Martian" started filming, with an investment of 8000 million RMB, and for the first time he partnered with Xiangjiang actor Zhou Runfa!"-- Netease Entertainment
"Haotian Holdings announced the 2005 full-year work plan!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

The news of Haotian Holdings’ New Year’s press conference soon caused a sensation in the industry, especially the implementation of the “Haotian New Director Program” made all students and young directors who dreamed of being a director excited.

Don't look at the "Hope Star Project" which only invested 3 million yuan in 500 years, but for students, tens of thousands of yuan is often enough to shoot their first work.

In 2005, the entire industry invested 500 million yuan, which was regarded as a "big production". Considering that Chen Hao's Virgo "Comet" was only 5 yuan, 500 million yuan is enough to support students to shoot dozens of works.

As for Xie Fei, who is in charge of the "Hope Star Project" of Di Ying, someone has already visited his house, and the phone is ringing non-stop.

However, Xie Fei has experienced so much in the world, he is more than enough to deal with it, and there is a final review by Haotian, so he can shirk it if it is impossible.

As for the wider dissemination of the "Star Fire and Prairie Fire Project", many young directors who have director dreams but are trapped in investment and distribution have rekindled their dreams.

But this time their goal is very unified, which is Haotian Film and Television.

Many people have already rushed to Haotian with their own scripts and ideals in mind!

The launch of the "Haotian New Director Program" not only maximized the favorability of young directors, but also received great acclaim from the media and the industry.

Han Sanpin even came forward to comment: Chen Hao is not only a talented director, but also a conscientious director. He knows the difficulty of new directors, so he launched this plan.

From the development of the studio to the present, Haotian Film and Television has become one of the largest private entertainment companies in China. However, while developing, it has not forgotten its social responsibility. Its contribution to the development of the industry and the support of young directors is obvious to all!

I sincerely hope that this program will be a great success and train more outstanding young directors for us!
Han Sanpin is also very pleased with Chen Hao's move. After all, training young directors is also one of Huaying's initiatives, which is of great benefit to the development and promotion of the entire domestic film market.

Han Sanpin was very pleased by Chen Hao's actions, he obviously felt that he had a discerning eye!
At the same time, after Huayi learned the content of Haotian's press conference, the big and small kings looked at each other in dismay.

Obviously, the whole director support plan will bring Haotian countless praises, as well as the goodwill of new directors, not to mention the praise of the media.

"How about we get one too?" Xiao Wang frowned.

The king shook his head, "The support plan looks very good, but it is estimated that it will lose money in all likelihood. After so many years, how many new directors are there?"

Xiao Wang nodded when he heard the words. The only rookie directors who have really made a name for themselves over the years are Chen Hao and Lu Chuan!
Chen Hao won't say much. Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun" and "Kekexil" received a lot of praise, but they only made money and shouted.

Later Ning Hao once said in an interview that when making movies at the beginning of the century, what everyone talked about was not the box office, but the feelings!

It can only be said that the mainland film market environment at the beginning of the century was indeed not very good. There was no box office at all, so how can we talk about it?
Lu Chuan's two movies didn't make any money at all, but even so, Lu Chuan was the only one who could make money.

Therefore, if a new director in the industry wants to stand out, he must not only have the ability, but also have the opportunity, otherwise it will be really difficult!
For the king who is a pure businessman, movies are just a tool to make money. Saying how much he loves movies and is willing to contribute to the movie industry is all high-sounding nonsense, just listen to it.

The only thing people pursue is money!Don't talk about anything else!

"We are about to set up a media group, and the most important thing now is performance. We must have outstanding results in the first year, and we must not lose our title as the number one private entertainment company in the mainland!
At that time, we will also hold a grand press conference, so that all the media in the mainland will report. The era of Huayi Brothers Media Group is coming! "The king said domineeringly.

Xiao Wang smiled when he heard the words, now Huayi has been involved in the investment and operation of films, TV dramas, artist management, records, entertainment marketing and other fields, and has achieved good results in these fields.

Therefore, this year, they decided to establish the Huayi Brothers Media Group, to become the top private entertainment company in the mainland. As for contributing to the film industry, it is still not as good as making money!

At the same time, compared to the industry paying more attention to Haotian's director support plan, movie fans pay more attention to Chen Hao's new film "The Martian"!
"Comet", "Moon", and "Man with No Surname" have shown everyone Chen Hao's talent in science fiction films, and also made domestic classic science fiction films truly available.

And in the field of sci-fi films, Chen Hao is currently the only one leading the show, and many radical Chen Hao fans even call Chen Hao "the godfather of Chinese sci-fi movies"!
Now, Chen Hao's new film is a sci-fi film, which naturally makes Chen Hao's movie fans, especially sci-fi fans, ecstatic!
