Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 487
It was a pity for Chen Hao to hear that Hasbro had reached a cooperation with DreamWorks.

After all, Chen Hao knows that the "Transformers" series is one of the most popular series in the world, and it is also very popular in the Mainland.

In addition, in fact, Chen Hao originally planned to hand over the role of the heroine to Fan Yaojing, which would definitely make her sexually excited. At the same time, it would also be a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, showing the strength of Haotian Film and Television.

Unfortunately, it was a step late.

"Or, let's contact DreamWorks to see if we can reach a cooperation. After all, the investment will definitely exceed 1 million U.S. dollars for an A-level production. DreamWorks will probably want to find someone to share the risk." Smart said.

Chen Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the words. That's right, this is Hollywood. They have a whole set of procedures for film selection and project approval, and risk control is obviously one of the important indicators.

If the investment exceeds 1 million US dollars, and it is not a sequel movie, then other companies should be brought in to invest and share the risk.

What's more, DreamWorks is not a Hollywood giant!

"Then hurry up and ask." Chen Hao said anxiously.

"I'm going to call right now and ask," Smart said.

Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, then walked into the editing room and continued his work.

When Chen Hao came out of the editing room, Smart told Chen Hao that Spielberg wanted to meet him, and Chen Hao naturally nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Chen Hao came to the reserved hotel to meet the famous Spielberg.

"Mr. Spielberg, hello, I've heard of you for a long time!" Chen Hao immediately stood up and greeted him when he saw someone coming.

"Mr. Chen, hello, I have been famous for you for a long time." Spielberg laughed.

"I'm not qualified in front of you." Chen Hao shook his head.

Seeing this, Spielberg nodded secretly, at such an age, with such achievements, and with such humility, it is rare!

"I heard you're also interested in Transformers?" Spielberg asked.

"That's right, I want to make it into a live-action movie." Chen Hao nodded.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about the prospect of the movie version." Spielberg raised his eyebrows.

"You are an American, and you know better than me the popularity and influence of Transformers in the United States. As long as you shoot well, you can make a lot of money!" Chen Hao laughed.

Spielberg smiled and nodded, "If you want to make a live-action version, the investment is not small. DreamWorks has made a budget before, 1.5 million US dollars!"

Chen Hao nodded his head when he heard the words, he was already prepared in his heart.

"The investment is too big, and DreamWorks is also planning to find another company to cooperate with, and we were originally planning to contact Paramount." Spielberg laughed.

Chen Hao frowned slightly when he heard this, "Then you came to see me today?"

"But after I learned that you were also interested in it, I thought about it and decided to cooperate with you." Spielberg laughed.

"Why?" Chen Hao asked curiously, after all, Chen Hao would not be so arrogant that he thought he was better than Paramount.

"I am optimistic about the future of you and Liang Tianchi Pictures, and the cooperation with Paramount can also continue, let them invest a little bit, and then be mainly responsible for the distribution. Now it is rare to share the same goals with you, so I want to cooperate for a long time. Back," Spielberg said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. His name is now worthy of the attention of these big shots, and Spielberg is also betting on both sides, and he has both sides. "Thank you so much."

"I don't know, how much Tianchi Films can invest?" Spielberg looked at Chen Hao carefully and said.

"How much investment are you going to attract?" Chen Hao thought for a while and said, this is a stable profit, and you can invest as much as you want.

Spielberg smiled and nodded. After Chen Hao's several films and several series of films performed well at the box office, Tianchi Films has clearly become one of the most dazzling companies among independent film companies.

Now that he is so loud, it seems that he has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years!

"The budget is $1.5 million, how about you paying 5000 million?" Spielberg asked.

"No problem!" Chen Hao agreed casually.

Spielberg laughed, "That's refreshing! Do you have any requests?"

Since Liang Tianchi Films is one of the main investors, it is not surprising that it obviously has a certain say in the film.

"I wonder if the director is sure?" Chen Hao asked.

"I'm optimistic about Michael Bay, what do you think? Or are you going to be the director yourself?" Spielberg asked with a smile.

"Michael Bay is good, I'll forget it." Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "Then the hero and heroine?"

"Shia LaBeouf has been chosen as the male lead," Spielberg said. "The female lead has not been decided. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. This is Spielberg's godson. As for the heroine, Spielberg obviously handed it over to another investor.

"I want Chinese actor Fan Yaojing to play the role." Chen Hao said, "This will still be very good for the movie's box office in the Mainland."

Spielberg thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Anyway, the real highlight of the film is the Transformers, and the heroine is just a vase, and it doesn't matter who she casts.

"So happy to cooperate!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation!" Spielberg laughed, "I also hope that we can continue to cooperate in the future."

"If there is a chance, of course there is no problem." Chen Hao smiled and said.

After hearing this, Spielberg nodded in satisfaction. He not only pulled down the investment, shared the risk, but also won over Chen Hao and Liang Tianchi Pictures. This business is obviously profitable.

The two discussed for a while, and then decided on the main behind-the-scenes and actors of "Transformers".

In addition to Fan Goblin as the female lead, Chen Hao will also serve as co-producers with Spielberg and Hasbro's COO Brian Goldner.

Of course, Spielberg is the executive producer, and Brian Goldner knows Transformers best and can give some suggestions for the film. As for Chen Hao, it is entirely for his fame and to attract mainland fans.

After solving the problem of Transformers, Chen Hao devoted himself to the post-production of "The Da Vinci Code".

Soon, a week passed, and the North American weekend box office rankings for the new week were freshly released.

It is a pity to Smart that "Chain Saw 4" failed to win the box office championship!
Last week's weekend box office champion was won by Bo Wei's "Four-Eyed Chicken" with a box office of 4004 million US dollars.

This is the first 3D CG animated feature film "Four-Eyed Chicken" after the divorce between Disney and Pixar. Under the attention of countless peers, media and movie fans, it debuted with a strong posture in more than 3600 theaters.

The debut on Friday and "Chain Saw 4" fell into a dogfight situation, and on Saturday and Sunday, audiences of all ages dragged their families into the theater with their mouths, the passenger flow increased dramatically, and finally defeated the R-rated Thriller "Saw 4".
