Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 552 20+20
"We're old friends now, so I won't hide it anymore. My bottom line is 2000 million US dollars + 20% of the North American box office." Chen Hao said.

Davis nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't show any surprise. Obviously, he had been mentally prepared for a long time!
2000 million US dollars + 20% of the North American box office is undoubtedly the remuneration of Hollywood super directors, but in fact, in the eyes of Hollywood giants, this is not the most important thing, what they value most is the success rate.

As long as you can succeed, it is not difficult to give you a sky-high salary, because the movie is successful, they have more distribution channels to make money, and they will only earn more.

If you are afraid that the movie will fail, then everyone will lose money.

Therefore, it is normal for Chen Hao to ask for 20+20 remuneration, in the eyes of Davis and even Sony Columbia.

Of course, Hollywood has developed for nearly a hundred years, and various mechanisms are relatively complete. It is impossible to give you unlimited salary increases.

The highest salary should be 2000 million US dollars + 20% of the global box office!

As for higher, there may be some, but that will not be shown on the bright side, 20+20 is the ceiling that Hollywood giants can pay for a film.

As for what's going on behind the scenes, it's a secret!
The 20+20 that Chen Hao wanted was not the peak of Hollywood salary, so Davis also saw Chen Hao's sincerity, and made a decision without too much hesitation.

It seems that Davis should have discussed this issue with the company before coming here, and the remuneration proposed by Chen Hao should be within their acceptable range, even lower than the pre-arranged possibility.

Seeing Davis nod his head and agree, Chen Hao couldn't help asking, "Am I going to be low?"

"Hahaha...Of course it's not too low." Davis laughed, "Happy cooperation!"

Chen Hao heard the words and no longer struggled, "Happy cooperation!"

"Now we can talk about which work we like!" Davis asked.

Chen Hao pointed to the list and said, "That's it, but I have one request, I want Charlize Theron to be the heroine!"

Davis frowned slightly upon hearing this, "But her "Wonder Woman" just failed at the box office."

"Believe me, it's not the actor's fault." Chen Hao said, "Don't worry, with me here, her joining is definitely the icing on the cake."

Davis winked and said with a wink, "Since you've already spoken, it's her!"

There is no doubt that Davis will become the producer of Chen Hao's new film, and the director and producer have agreed, so the joining of South African diamonds will be considered a decision.

After finishing the matter of "The Da Vinci Code", Chen Hao flew directly back to the imperial capital.

In China, the media is frantically reporting the box office myth created by "The Da Vinci Code"!

"The Da Vinci Code's first weekend grossed US$7707 million, surpassing the total box office of "Heroes" in North America in three days!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"The world's first weekend was 2.24 million US dollars, and Chen Hao broke the world's first-week/single-week box office record for Chinese and even Asian directors!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Chen Hao is expected to break the global box office record of Wu Baige's "Mission: Impossible 2" with 5.45 million US dollars, and become the global box office champion of Chinese single film!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

"The Da Vinci Code" directed by Chen Hao can be said to have given the mainland a big surprise, the box office of such a first weekend is indeed too explosive!

So the media, habitually began to tout the film's box office records!

And as a mainlander, seeing Chen Hao's ability to achieve such a high box office around the world, I feel a sense of identity, pride and honor.

Although I felt that the media praised Chen Hao too much, but I still couldn't get enough of it.

The same is true on the Internet.

Qinglian Earth: 7707 million in the first weekend in North America, 2.24 million in the first week of the world, this box office is too frightening, Chen Hao is simply not human!

China Entertainment Reporter: Because it involves religion, the reaction in our country may not be so strong, but it is indeed popular abroad, and the reaction at the box office is like this.

Du Tianzi: Quickly kill "Mission: Impossible 2" and become the number one Chinese director!
Red Copper 1982: Now I feel a little sympathetic to the other three directors. Seeing that Chen Hao’s box office is all over the world, but they can only compare with the mainland box office. The gap is too big, and I feel distressed for a second!

……

Compared with foreign countries, film critics in the mainland give "The Da Vinci Code" a high evaluation. That is because the original novel of the film is not popular in the mainland.

I haven't read the original book, and there are no religious issues. If you just watch the movie alone, the plot is compact and the suspense is endless. It is definitely a qualified commercial film!
This is also reflected in the box office. The first week's 5500 million results are absolutely impressive, and there is no suspense to become the third film in the mainland this year with a box office of over 3 million.

Even surpassing "King Kong" and "Fearless" is only a matter of time!

……

Chen Hao, who returned to the imperial capital, began to stare at the post-production special effects of "I Am Legend".

At the same time, Fan Yaojing called and confirmed that Li Yu had accepted the investment from Haotian Film and Television. The production cost of "Apple" was 1200 million RMB!

The influence of Haotian Film and Television in the industry and the huge advantages of Haotian Cinemas in scheduling films made Li Yu agree directly after confirming that Haotian Film and Television would not point fingers!

Establishing a cooperative relationship with each other can be described as a win-win situation!
After the time entered June, Ning Film Studio sent a message that they had confirmed the invitation of Xiangjiang's Chen Jiashang to be the director of "Painted Skin".

After Chen Hao knew about it, he didn't feel much, and readily agreed to invest 4000 million yuan, but the two heroines, Chen Hao, asked to use Master Xun and Fairy Fan.

Regarding this point, Ningying Film Factory and Moying Film Factory had already expected it. After all, Haotian Film and Television participated in the investment, so it would be strange not to use its own artists.

The director Chen Jiashang also agreed, especially Mr. Xun. "If You Love" made her famous in Xiangjiang and Baodao. The acting skills are not just talking.

As for Fan Yaojing, she is also one of the Four Dans and Shuangbing, and she also starred in the heroine of the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers". When "Painted Skin" is released, she can definitely use her momentum.

Then the four parties reached a cooperation agreement. The three companies each contributed 4000 million yuan, with a total investment of 1.2 million yuan. Chen Jiashang was invited to direct, and Mr. Xun and Fan Yaojing starred.

As for the male lead, Chen Hao recommended Chen Kun, Deng Chao and Hu Ge!

Chen Kun was recommended because Mr. Xun, who has a good relationship with Chen Kun, specially approached Chen Hao and said that she hoped that Chen Kun could play the leading role.

Deng Chao and Hu Ge recommended themselves after hearing the inside information!
Chen Hao agreed to the recommendation, but the decision was still in Chen Jiashang's hands. Chen Hao didn't want to interfere too much with Chen Jiashang's creation. After all, he was also a director, and he knew it was uncomfortable to be pointed at!

But Chen Hao estimated that Chen Kun would win with a high probability. After all, Hu Ge and Deng Chao's qualifications in film are too poor.

Speaking of which, the three companies' film resources are all limited, but Chen Kun is supported by Zhao Yanzi and Mr. Xun, and his acting skills are good, so the film resources are definitely one of the best among the new generation of young students in the Mainland.

Chen Kun has been the leading actor in many movies, has qualifications, and at the same time has proved his own strength, which the other two do not have.

The result was the same, Chen Jiashang still chose Chen Kun as the hero of "Painted Skin".
