Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 549 5000 million and Cannes
After Chen Hao returned to the imperial capital, he began to work on the post-production of "I Am Legend". He started editing and stared at the special effects production at the same time.

However, before staying in the editing room for a long time, Chen Hao was dragged to the screening room by Ning Hao. "Crazy Stone" had already been produced, and Ning Hao wanted Chen Hao to give a review.

Looking at Ning Hao who was full of anticipation and anxiety, Chen Hao nodded with a smile and sat down. Xiaoying, Hao Yi, Xing Aina and others also squeezed in to watch.

After the five-clawed golden dragon, it was the Ritian animation of Haotian Film and Television, and then the movie officially started.

Chen Hao watched it with gusto, and compared it with the previous version while watching. The plot was similar, without much change, except that Lian Jin, who played the role of the international thief, became Deng Chao.

And the overall lighting is much brighter. Although I watched "Crazy Stone" in my previous life, although there were many night scenes, the overall lighting was indeed dim.

When he saw something funny, even though he had seen it long ago in his previous life, Chen Hao still couldn't help chuckling. As for Xiaoying and Hao Yi, they laughed louder.

Ning Hao has been observing Chen Hao's expression nervously. For his first commercial film, Ning Hao is full of expectations and worries.

Before I knew it, "Crazy Stone" was over.

"I thought it was fun when I was filming, but I didn't expect the film to be so funny." Hao Yi said pleasantly.

Xing Aina also nodded, "Anyway, I laughed many times."

"Boss Ning's filming is very good, I think everyone will like it." Xiaoying also praised.

Ning Hao couldn't help but smirked when he heard the words, and then looked at Chen Hao. The one who had the most say was one of the four mainland directors.

Chen Hao looked at Ning Hao's nervousness, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing this, Ning Hao had a bitter look on his face, "Is it still not possible?"

In an instant, Ning Hao felt that the world was gloomy!
Chen Hao shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, "When did I say it can't be done? What I mean is that the movie has a high degree of completion, and it will definitely become a dark horse at the box office this year."

"Really?" Ning Hao became excited when he heard the words, and then he came over and grabbed Chen Hao's neck and said, "Then you shook your head just now, you scared me to death!"

Chen Hao was shaken, and said helplessly, "You are too impatient, this film embodies Quentin's black humor, French New Wave and Italian New Realism.

And the details are well controlled, especially the use of dialects is the finishing touch, making the whole film imposing and giving people a fresh feeling.

Not to mention the narrative structure, the sense of humor is difficult even for Xiangjiang to capture. "

Ning Hao was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words, patted his head and said, "Is it really that good?"

Hao Yi, Xing Aina and Xiao Ying were also taken aback by what Chen Hao said.

Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled and said, "When the film is released, you will know. I predict that the box office of "Crazy Stone" should be close to 5000 million."

"So tall?" The three of them said in surprise in unison.

Don't look at Chen Hao's box office exceeding 5000 million in succession, but that is a very rare phenomenon. 10 million can already be ranked [-]th in the annual box office rankings this year.

And the top ten are all big directors and Hollywood movies, can Ning Hao reach this level now?
Although Ning Hao is not her debut work, it is her first commercial film after all. Judging from her previous reputation, it is similar to her debut work.

Chen Hao's debut novel had a box office of 1000 million, Lu Chuan's debut novel had a box office of 900 million, and Ning Hao's box office was 5000 million?
Even in the past few years, the mainland film market has recovered, which is a bit scary!

Chen Hao is more confident. In his previous life, "Crazy Stone" had a box office of around 2300 million. Now Chen Hao, one of the four directors, is the registered producer.

With Haotian Theaters giving enough filming, the box office doubled. Chen Hao felt that it was not impossible.

"Okay, the movie was shot well, the theater has a company arrangement, and then you can get busy promoting it." Chen Hao patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said, "Remember to call me when it premieres."

Ning Hao nodded excitedly when he heard the words. Obviously, Chen Hao's words gave Ning Hao a lot of confidence, and Haotian Cinemas also gave Ning Hao a lot of confidence.

After watching "Crazy Stone", Chen Hao entered the editing room to continue editing "I Am Legend".

At the same time, "The Martian" was officially launched in North America.

After "The Martian" won the Oscar for best original screenplay, the box office rebounded briefly again, and then gradually declined again until the bottom line.

"The Martian" has won a total box office of 6050 million US dollars in North America, and this result ranked 2005th on the North American box office list in 39!
It is worth mentioning that "The Martian" officially surpassed "Life is Beautiful" with 5756 million US dollars, and became the runner-up of the North American foreign language film box office rankings, second only to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with 1.28 million US dollars!
At the same time, Chen Hao's "The Man Without a Surname" ranked fourth on the list with US$5650 million. Among the top five on the list, Chen Hao alone occupies two seats!
And the top five films, except for the Italian "Life is Beautiful", the other four are all Chinese-language films, which shows the strength of Chinese-language films at the beginning of the century!

"The Martian" grossed $5100 million in Asia, $5600 million in Europe plus South America, and $6050 million in North America, for a global tally of $1.675 million.

This global box office score surpassed the US$1.38 million of "Man with No Surname", creating the highest box office record for Chen Hao's personal Chinese film!
The North American box office of "The Martian" is 6050 million US dollars, and the producer can get 52% of the box office share. Liang Tianchi Pictures and Sony Columbia can get 3% and 5% of the distribution share respectively.

After excluding taxes, "The Martian" brought Haotian Film and Television $2670 million at the box office in North America, 7340 million yuan in the mainland box office, and $1660 million in profits in Europe and South America.

All box office revenues add up to 5220 million US dollars, and Haotian Film and Television's investment accounts for 50%, which is 2610 million US dollars, or about 2.15 million yuan!

After deducting the 8000 million investment cost, "The Martian" made a box office profit of 1.35 million yuan!

……

"Hmph!" Xiaohu looked at Chen Hao coldly and snorted.

"What's the matter?" Chen Hao's heart jumped, but there was no flaw on his face, he smiled and walked over to hug Xiaohu, wanting to kiss him.

"If you want to kiss, go kiss your South Korean beauty!" Xiaohu pushed Chen Hao away and sarcastically said.

Chen Hao paused when he heard the words, did it spread to the country?
"What South Korean beauty?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.

"Do you want me to tell you about the good things you have done yourself?" Xiaohu said angrily, pinching Chen Hao's waist.

"You mean the Oscar trophy?" Chen Hao laughed, "That's because I was drunk and I promised her. I can't break my promise, so I can only give it to her."

"Make it up, keep making it up!" Xiaohu crossed her arms and said fiercely.

"What I said is true. You also know that South Korea has never won an Oscar, so Son Yejin liked the statuette very much when she saw it. I also drank too much at the time, so I agreed to give it to her in a daze." Chen Hao explained. road.

"You think I'm a three-year-old child?" Xiaohu pouted, "Isn't it a token of love?"

"Finding love? What kind of love?" Chen Hao smiled and put his arms around the little fox and said, "I'm only in love with you for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao kissed Xiaohu's red lips, and at the same time used his hands hard to prevent her from breaking free.

"Well... again... this trick..."

Soon, the little fox was speechless and could only utter meaningless monosyllables!

The next day, Chen Hao saw the scandal about himself and Son Yejin, and asked Chen Hou to go to the major media to say hello, while he was busy explaining to Yaya and Dameitang.

Dameitang was the most angry, because of the three Oscar statuettes that Chen Hao won, only she hadn't got one yet, while Yaya and Xiaohu already had one each.

Chen Hao had no choice but to promise to give her the next award, and to give two, so that Dameitang could balance it out!

Time passed quickly in the post-production of "I Am Legend", and it was mid-May in a blink of an eye.

Now the post-production of "I Am Legend" is only the special effects part, and all other parts have been completed, but Chen Hao had to temporarily put aside the film's post-production and fly to France, because the Cannes International Film Festival is coming.

"The Da Vinci Code" directed by Chen Hao last year will be the opening film, so naturally he cannot be absent as a director.

Speaking of which, the popularity of "The Da Vinci Code" has been high since the filming started, and now it is about to premiere worldwide, which has attracted great attention from Western countries.

Everyone is full of curiosity or anger about this "deviant" movie, and wants to see what kind of movie it is.

Before the British media reported that "The Da Vinci Code" was suspected of plagiarism, which caused a sensation, because if the verdict came into effect, the film would not be released in the UK.

However, not long ago, the British court ruled that "The Da Vinci Code" was not plagiarized, and the UK will also be among the countries where "The Da Vinci Code" premieres simultaneously.

On May 5th, Chen Hao arrived in Cannes. Rose de France Sophie Marceau, as the host, warmly received the guests from afar. This old-fashioned heart almost melted Chen Hao.

The next day, the Cannes International Film Festival officially opened, and Chen Hao met the long-lost Fan Yaojing.

Seeing Chen Hao, Fan Yaojing's eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, gave her a hug, and gave her a face-to-face gift, then said with a smile, "It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"When we see each other, it's like three autumns!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

Fan Yaojing heard that her eyes were about to drip water, "What a villain!"

Immediately, the two officially embarked on the Cannes red carpet.

Fairy Fan showed off her proud figure and silk dress with unique Chinese characteristics to her heart's content.

Chen Hao held Fan Yaojing's waist and said, "How does it feel to be filming in Hollywood?"

While cooperating with taking pictures, Fan Yaojing said, "It's the same when filming, but there are many rules and regulations, and the degree of industrialization is far ahead compared to domestic."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, this is an indisputable fact, and it will last for many years, "Then how is your performance in the crew?"

"That's it. Anyway, it's just a vase character. As long as the shape is well-shaped, it will be fine." Fan Yaojing said half-jokingly and half-sincerely.

"Don't be dissatisfied. When the movie is released, your status and status will be completely different." Chen Hao said, "The media will definitely call you an international fan."

"Hahaha..." Fan Yaojing couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and also thought about the movie's release as soon as possible.

At that time, they will be able to sit on an equal footing with the International Chapter. As for the other three once and one ice, they can only be ranked behind themselves!
It can be said that one step to the sky!
However, all this was brought by the man around him. Looking at Chen Hao, Fan Yaojing felt a little depressed, and couldn't figure out why Chen Hao rejected her.

However, regarding this point, Fan Yaojing still did not give up completely. After all, she can now lead the leading roles in Hollywood with an investment of 1.5 million yuan. If she really wins Chen Hao, it will be a disaster!

After walking the red carpet, the Cannes opening ceremony officially began.

Subsequently, "The Da Vinci Code" also officially premiered in the world, and countless movie stars, directors and movie fans also watched this film that caused countless controversies curiously!

Davis looked at Chen Hao and said, "You have to be prepared to be scolded."

Chen Hao shrugged when he heard the words, "I expected it when I accepted this movie."

"That's good." Davis nodded, and then smiled again, "But the more vigorously the media scolds, the more curious everyone is, and the higher the box office will be."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, the box office is high, and he still has 15% of the North American box office share!

Time passed quickly. After the broadcast of "The Da Vinci Code", everyone at the scene reacted differently. Some people applauded, some talked a lot, and some even scolded.

Then Chen Hao was surrounded by reporters.

"Chen, what do you want to express when filming "The Da Vinci Code"? Are you against God?"

"I've said it a long time ago. I don't intend to focus on the religious part of the movie. What I want to shoot is suspense!" Chen Hao shook his head.

"But your whole movie is slandering God!"

"It's not that I slander God, I just shoot according to the script." Chen Hao said.

"You're not slandering God, so why did you take on this movie?"

"This is just a collaboration between me and Sony Columbia, nothing else is involved." Chen Hao shook his head.

……

Chen Hao was surrounded by reporters. The reporters were really a little crazy. Of course, it doesn't matter how loyal they are. Many people just want to attract attention.

When Chen Hao returned to the hotel, he was sweating a lot. These reporters were indeed too enthusiastic.

Religion has indeed always been one of the hot issues in Western countries. Chen Hao has a deep understanding of this filming of "The Da Vinci Code". It seems that it is better to make less such movies in the future.

While Chen Hao was feeling emotional, someone knocked on the door.

Chen Hao opened it and saw that it was Fairy Fan.

"What? Are you still thinking about the movie?" Fan Yaojing asked when she saw that Chen Hao's face was not looking well.

"Yeah, these reporters are too troublesome." Chen Hao shook his head.

Fan Yaojing hugged Chen Hao directly, and whispered in his ear, "Don't think about them, just think about me! I'm not wearing anything inside!"

Chen Hao was refreshed when he heard the words, and then there was a "hissing" sound in the room!

On the second day, as expected, many media criticized "The Da Vinci Code", and even the Pope of the Vatican spoke, asking Sony to modify the untrue parts of the movie.

In this regard, Sony Columbia is very happy. The more hyped you are, the more popular it will be. Next, it depends on how the box office performs!
On the second day of its premiere in Cannes, on May 2006, 5, "The Da Vinci Code" was released simultaneously worldwide!
