Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 560 Gathering Big Names
Chen Hao's words diverted the attention of the media and everyone to the competition for the annual box office crown between him and the National Teacher.

And when the media once again heated up the competition between the two, on July 7, the Imperial Olympic Organizing Committee issued an important notice.

The list of directors for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympic Games was finally finalized. The famous Chinese director Guo Shi served as the chief director, and Chen Weiya and Zhang Jigang were the deputy chief directors.

The 2008 Olympic Games director group candidates began public bidding last year. Initially, there were 13 bidding teams. After 8 teams were selected in the first round, 5 bidding teams entered the candidates.

In the end, the Olympic Organizing Committee will select and determine the members of the director team, with chief director Guoshi, deputy chief directors Chen Weiya and Zhang Jigang as the main members.

Guoshi, one of the most famous film directors in China, has directed many international award-winning films such as "Red Sorghum" and "Raise the Red Lantern" and many large-scale musicals such as "Turandot" and "Impression Liu Sanjie".

Chen Weiya is a well-known contemporary choreographer in China, the artistic director and deputy head of the China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe (National Song and Dance Troupe).

He has successively served as the general director of large-scale evening events such as the opening ceremony of the 21st Universiade, the opening ceremony of the [-]th National Games, and the opening ceremony of the [-]th East Asian Games.

He is currently the chief director who has directed the most large-scale opening ceremony cultural activities and has the highest success rate in my country.

Zhang Jigang, a famous choreographer and head of the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe, has directed works such as "Mother" and "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands". Among them, "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands" was performed at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2005, which aroused strong response.

This combination can be described as a strong alliance, and it has attracted countless attention once it was announced. After all, Chinese people have been looking forward to hosting the Olympic Games for a long time.

In addition to reporting, the media once again mentioned the competition between Chen Hao and the National Teacher. After the National Teacher was confirmed as the chief director of the Olympic Games, it was not good for Chen Hao.

Director Chen didn't feel much about it. After all, he knew about it a long time ago, so he didn't make a fuss, but continued to promote his new film.

Another week passed, Hollywood introduced the blockbuster "Superman Returns" to be released in the mainland, and it won 3100 million yuan in the first week, pulling "Crazy Stone" from the championship.

The cumulative box office of "Crazy Stone", which has been released for three weeks, has reached 3400 million yuan, surpassing the previous box office record of 2350 million yuan.

The number of film schedules has increased, and Chen Hao's producer has gained popularity, and the quality of the film itself is excellent, so this box office result is justified.

At the same time, after 2006 months of fierce competition, the 3 Mighty Bull Happy Boys finally came to an end!
It has to be said that there is no harm if there is no comparison. In 2006, although the ratings and market share of Happy Boys still firmly occupied the first place in the double stick at the same time.

But compared with the phenomenal level of Happy Girls in 2005, it is far worse!
Since the 2005 Happy Girls entered the national top 10 competition, the audience rating has exceeded 3%, and then it has been rising in a straight line, and finally even reached the highest rating in the history of variety shows at 11.56%!

In 2006, the ratings of the 4 Happy Boys were only 3% until the national 3 entered 3.2, and the ratings of the final championship match were only 3.85%, failing to break 4!

The 2005 Happy Girls is indeed a swan song, and the ratings of future variety shows will never come close to it.

However, although the ratings have dropped a lot, the advertising fee is still not lost. After all, the ratings have always been the first in the ratings at the same time.

However, it has somewhat affected the brand value of Happy Girls.

Chen Hao is thinking whether to sell the copyright directly to Shonan Satellite TV, so that he can make another wave and finish the job.

But think about it, it's only 2006, the Internet is not that popular yet, neither are smartphones, and the era of national variety shows has not yet arrived, and other variety shows want to be popular.

In other words, it is basically impossible to get popular to the point of the previous life. Is it good to make it in advance?
Regarding this, Chen Hao was really hesitant!
Just wait a year or two!
Of course, because it was held at a different time from the previous life, this year's Happy Boys contestants were naturally different, and there were many new faces. To Chen Hao's surprise, Zhang Jie actually participated in Happy Boys a year earlier.

Maybe it's also because the happy boy from the previous life didn't hold the first session until 2007, so he couldn't participate even if he wanted to!

Similarly, Zhang Jie has a contract, and also stops at the top 4. This is a routine operation.

What surprised Chen Hao was that Xue Qianqian also participated in the 2006 Happy Boys.

You must know that Zhang Jie participated in Happy Boys in her previous life, but Xue never did it before!

However, although Xue entered the top ten in the country before, he was eliminated after entering 8 and 6.

However, before Huo Shaowen signed Zhang Jie and Xue Qian, there was naturally Chen Hao's meaning in it. After all, the golden finger is there, and if it is not used, it will become invalid after the expiration date.

At the same time, Haotian Music will also produce a happy boy compilation "10", which represents the top 10 albums in the country.

……

As time went by, the mainland film market released Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" in which Haotian Film and Television participated in the investment.

The weekly champion of "Superman Returns" only sat for one week before being snatched away by "Mission: Impossible 1" and achieved two consecutive championships!
And when "Dragon Tiger Gate" was officially released, the time has come to August.

"I Am Legend" will be released on Thursday, August 8, and on August 3, "I Am Legend" held a grand premiere ceremony at the flagship store of Imperial Capital Haotian Cinemas.

It is said to be grand, but it is not as good as the premiere of "Heroes" by the National Teacher in the Great Hall of the People, nor can it be compared to the open-air venue of Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

But even in the movie theater, no one can ignore Chen Hao's new movie!

In the past two months, all kinds of news about Chen Hao has been flying all over the sky. For a while, the Chinese directed a single film at the global box office champion, and for a while, the Chinese director directed the world's total box office champion!
And Chen Hao shouted that the goal of "I Am Legend" is to surpass "Hero", and coupled with its terrifying box office appeal, everyone will not ridicule this.

Now this long-awaited end-time sci-fi is finally going to meet the world, and media reporters, film critics, and movie fans are delighted.

The premiere of "I Am Legend", with Chen Hao's network and influence, naturally gathered big names, it can be called the scene of an awards ceremony.

Many actors who have worked with each other, such as Zhou Runfa, Gong Huang, Xu Shanzheng, Hu Ge, Deng Chao, and Chen Kun, were present one after another, and even celebrities who had not worked with them such as International Zhang and Zhao Yanzi also appeared one after another.

Watching "I Am Legend" is not true, but it is true to come here to show favor and look forward to cooperation.

Naturally, Chen Hao was the most welcoming, but in the end he found that there were too many celebrities coming and there were not enough seats, so he could only add seats in the aisle, and finally sat down reluctantly.

At 6:[-] p.m., the premiere of "I Am Legend" officially begins!
