Chapter 430 15+15
"Last night, the 77th Academy Awards officially ended at the Kodak Theater, and "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Aviator" staged a two-horse battle!

The final award shows that Hollywood is committed to stripping away the high-sounding appearance of wealth and returning to the essence of movies. The film "Million Dollar Baby" favored by film critics has preempted "The Aviator" with 11 nominations.

The film "Million Dollar Baby" attaches great importance to art and focuses on the controversial topic of euthanasia. The script has a deep meaning and motivates people to make progress.

While the movie "The Aviator" has a grand scene, it is relatively too protracted and lengthy.

Compared with Martin Scorsese's peak period works such as "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", and "Goodfellas", "The Aviator" has declined as he ages, both in terms of artistry and thought.

Therefore, although "The Aviator" won the most 5 trophies, "Million Dollar Baby" became the Academy Awards with 4 awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. biggest winner.

In terms of acting awards, Hilary Swank changed her body shape and appearance for the role of "Million Dollar Baby", which not only showed the subtle changes in the character's emotions, but also showed the character's ambition to make progress. She won the Best Actress Award. The main characters deserve their names.

Jamie Foxx, who won the best actor, was praised by the media when he reproduced the African-American singer Ray Charles in the film "Soul Singer".

In comparison, Leonardo DiCaprio played the role of the legendary rich man Howard Hughes in the film "The Aviator" with a little more strength, but less naturalness and calmness than he should have. The miss is also expected.

In addition, "The Man Without a Surname" once again defeated its strong competitor "Deep Sea Eternal Sleep" after the Golden Globe Award, and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award!
It is worth mentioning that this is the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in mainland China. Chen has become a hero in the film industry in mainland China, and it has also made mainland China and China Treasure Island a tie!

The award of "No Surname" will definitely bring another wave of enthusiasm to the film. Its North American box office is likely to surpass "Hero" and even "Life is Beautiful", becoming the second largest foreign language in North America after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Runner-up at the box office!
In addition, the North American box office of "The Hangover" has just exceeded 2.7 million US dollars, and this talented director from China is definitely one of the most dazzling directors in North America in 2004.

I believe that Chen's mailbox must be full of cooperation invitations and photos of actresses, but if you have the copyright of a Marvel superhero in your hand, you may be able to get your wish! "

……

After reading the media reports, Chen Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. It seems that the fact that he frantically collected the copyrights of Marvel superheroes is well known in the United States, and even the media are making fun of him.

In addition, Chen Hao received a reply from Lionsgate Films early in the morning. They are willing to invest in Chen Hao's new film, but they are only willing to invest 2500 million US dollars.

Lionsgate is obviously cautious. They can earn at least 3500 million US dollars from "The Hangover". Now they have invested 2500 million US dollars in Chen Hao's new film. Regardless of whether they make money or not, at least 1000 million US dollars are in their pockets.

Chen Hao also sent the result to Sony Columbia, and the other party readily agreed. Obviously someone is willing to share the risk of 2500 million US dollars, and Columbia is happy to see the result.

Here, preparations for Chen Hao's next film "The Da Vinci Code" officially began.

Last night, Chen Hao read two scripts when he had nothing to do afterwards. Compared with "007: Casino Royale", Chen Hao was more interested in the suspenseful thriller script "The Da Vinci Code".

Without much hesitation, Chen Hao chose "The Da Vinci Code" and quickly informed Davis.

At present, the total investment budget of "The Da Vinci Code" is 1.15 million US dollars, while Chen Hao's remuneration is 1500 million US dollars + 15% dividends from the North American box office.

Before Chen Hao was filming "The Ninth District", he could get 1000 million US dollars + 10% of the North American box office share, but that was the producer and director with three jobs, this time he was just a simple director.

But Chen Hao is now more famous than before, and without his own investment, he will naturally increase the price.

Relying on the impressive record of never failing, and the North American box office of "The Hangover" reached 2.7 million U.S. dollars, Sony Columbus agreed after a short consideration.

15+15 (North America), this is Chen Hao's current salary, and there is still a long way to go before 20+20 (Global), so we have to keep working hard!
After negotiating the remuneration, Chen Hao directly confirmed the two leading actors.

For the male lead, Chen Hao is still looking for Downey. The role of professor and scholar of religious semiotics at Harvard University is not too difficult for Downey.

The only thing I was worried about was Columbia's attitude. Downey was somewhat affected by the previous negative drug news. After all, once a person's impression is formed, it is difficult to change it in a short time.

I'm afraid that this will make Columbia clung to it. After all, it is an A-level production actor with an investment of up to 1.15 million U.S. dollars, and it is not so easy to get it.

However, Downey has not had any negative news about drugs for three years. "The Ninth District" has once again proved his acting skills. The handsome, wicked and lovable teacher in "The Hangover" is even more popular with Downey. skyrocketed.

It makes sense to choose him as the leading actor.

This is the shortcoming that I am not an investor. I don't have [-]% authority, so I have a lot of worries.

However, Chen Hao chose Downey, and then let Davis take care of it.

As for the heroine, because France is involved in the script, many scenes were filmed in France.

Therefore, Colombia wants to find a French heroine, and also stimulate the European box office by the way.

Thinking of French actors, Chen Hao's first reaction was French Rose.

The first actress that Chen Hao thought of was the third Rose de France, Sophie Marceau!
"First Kiss", Chen Hao watched it later, and his first impression started from "007: The Black Sun Crisis", in which Sophie Marceau is a perfect fusion of purity and sexiness, able to evoke the most primitive desires of men.

Due to the influence of his previous life, Chen Hao really wanted to have an in-depth cooperation with Sophie Marceau.

The role is not difficult, and Sophie Marceau is well-known not only in France, but also throughout Europe, so choosing her as the heroine can take into account the European box office well, and it should not be a big problem.

As for other French actors, in Chen Hao's impression there is Jean Renault from "The Killer Is Not So Cold", let him play an important supporting role.

Chen Hao sorted out some of his requirements on "The Da Vinci Code" and sent them to Davis, asking him to handle them as a whole.

The rest will be handed over to Columbia. Anyway, I am a mercenary, and I use money to do things. By the way, I make a wish and get it done!
　Thanks to "Qinglian Earth" for the 500 rewards and "Chen Zai Rural" for the 100 rewards!
