Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 56
Chen Hao smiled slightly, although Da Meitang hung up the phone after just saying hello, but being able to call was already a good start.

Afterwards, Chen Hao took a car to the cafe where he met Yu Dong last time, and the two agreed to formally sign the distribution agreement today.

When Chen Hao arrived, Yu Dong was already waiting.

"Sorry, senior, I've been waiting for so long!" Chen Hao apologized.

"It's okay, I just arrived not long ago." Yu Dong waved his hand and said, "This is a contract, you should read it first!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao took over the contract and looked at it. He had signed many distribution agreements in his previous life. Chen Hao mainly saw that the points mentioned in the last conversation were all in the contract, so he signed it directly.

Seeing this, Yu Dong smiled, and finally agreed to cooperate.

"Senior, where is the first screening of "Comet" scheduled? When will it start?" Chen Hao asked.

"The first show will be held in Huaying Film City, and the time is set for November 11th." Yu Dongdao, "After the first show is over, the school and the theater will arrange screenings at the same time. As for the scale, it will depend on the situation."

"Okay, if there is anything I need to do, I will definitely cooperate." Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"Come to attend the screening on the 25th, and at the same time prepare to accept some interviews for publicity." Yu Dong said.

"No problem." Chen Hao agreed.

After the talk, Chen Hao went back to the studio.

There was no one in the studio, and Ning Hao's "Incense" had already been prepared and was about to start filming. Xing Aina and Hao Yi were helping out.

Chen Hao was alone for a while, thinking about what to do for his second movie.

"Comet" will be released soon, but Chen Hao has no idea how much box office will be in the end.

Although "Comet" is a good sci-fi suspense thriller, it won the New Wave Award and was nominated for the Golden Horse, but considering that the domestic film market is currently in a cold winter.

Moreover, the total number of screens in the mainland is less than 1800 yuan, and the ticket price is far lower than that of later generations. There is also a headache of piracy, so the box office share of "Comet" is estimated to not be too much.

Chen Hao now mainly has the $50 that "Comet" sold to Colombia, which is almost 400 million RMB.

Calculated, it is estimated that the funds that can be invested in the second film are at most about 500 million.

Looking at it now, this investment can't be considered too low, but it is too little for Chen Hao. Many movies in his mind have to be excluded, and he still has to shoot at a small cost.

I just don't know if "Comet" will be able to attract investment after it is released. If so, the shooting cost will undoubtedly be more generous.

Time flies, and soon November 11th comes.

During this period, Chen Hao was not idle, and was mainly busy promoting "Comet" on the Tianya Forum and the Emperor Film BBS, which still attracted some sci-fi suspense movie lovers.

Yu Dong also discussed with Chen Hao the matter of promoting it on the BBS of various colleges and universities. Everything is ready, just waiting for "Comet" to be screened.

The screening of "Comet" was on Sunday, so Chen Hao, Dong Xuan, Zhou Yiwei, Tang Wei, Zhu Yuchen and Hai Qing all came to participate in the screening.

As for Deng Chao, Chen Gan, and Yan Danchen, they are all in the crew at this time and cannot participate.

"Will we still be on stage before the movie is shown?" Dong Xuan asked next to Chen Hao.

"Mr. Yu told me, no need, we don't have much reputation, at most we can just introduce us and we will start directly." Chen Hao nodded.

Dong Xuan relaxed after hearing the words, but felt a little disappointed. She originally thought that as the heroine, she would be able to show her face in front of the media.

Chen Hao saw what Dong Xuan was thinking, and said with a smile, "It all depends on the movie's ratings. If it's not good, you don't need to say it. If it's good, the media will naturally chase you."

Dong Xuan took a deep breath and nodded, "I see."

After the group arrived at the scene, they greeted Yu Dong. Yu Dong smiled at the crowd, and then pulled Chen Hao to the door to welcome the guests.

Yu Dong has been in the Emperor Film Studio and Huaying for several years, and his contacts are quite extensive.

Among them, Huaying also came, but it was not Mr. Xu who was in charge of distribution. He probably wouldn't come even if he was invited.

There were also quite a few film critics and the media, and soon the theater was full.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Dong took the microphone to the stage himself.

"Thank you for coming to the screening of the first domestic sci-fi film "Comet" released by Berner today. This is a very interesting film. His director is our talented director Chen Hao." Yu Dong pointed at Chen Hao and said .

Chen Hao was a little embarrassed by Yu Dong's address as a genius director. No matter how he heard it, he sounded like a prince selling melons, but he still stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.

"Such a young director?"

"Looks like he's still a student!"

"What the hell is Yu Dong doing? Why would he like such a director? It can't be a relative or something?"

……

Yu Dong turned a blind eye to the discussions in the audience.

"People may think that Director Chen Hao is too young to make decent sci-fi films, but I would say that it is precisely because Director Chen Hao is young that it is possible to break through the shackles of domestic sci-fi films for so many years.

As directors of the older generation, due to the limitations of the times, their thinking is more or less trapped. Only young people like Chen Hao, who are active in thinking and dare to think and shoot, can bring fantasy and even radical films to life. science fiction suspense movie.

As for whether what I said is true or not, it will be known in nine or 10 minutes, so I won't say much, let's start! "

Many media reporters and film critics in the seats whispered to each other with smiles, apparently noncommittal to Yu Dong's words.

Sci-fi films have always been one of the most difficult problems in domestic films. If a young man in his 20s breaks it all of a sudden, it would be hell.

And this movie has not heard of a big investment, how can it be a science fiction?
Without the help of big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, how can you attract the audience?

It is probably another pseudo-sci-fi movie, trying to lure the audience into the cinema with the gimmick of a sci-fi movie.

When everyone continued to criticize, the theater went dark, and "Comet" officially started.

The first ten minutes consisted of a seemingly meaningless chat between the eight friends.

"What is this shot?"

"Yu Dong is right, this is indeed a movie that only young people can make."

"Can this be called a movie? My shots are better than his!"

"This genius director is really a genius!"

……

After watching the opening of the movie, many media reporters and audience were a little surprised. Even though they had made very low expectations, they still didn't expect it to turn out like this.

To be honest, if it wasn't because they were invited, many people might have turned around and left.

At the same time, many media reporters smiled wryly and shook their heads. How can I write reports when I go back?It's really not the slightest bright spot, it's not bad if you can't hold back your mouth and curse!
