Chapter 647 North American box office share (200 monthly tickets plus more)

Silent all night!
The next day, Chen Hao brought the three of them to Liangtianchi Pictures.

Yang Qing and Hao Yi contacted the crew first, while Chen Hao took Xiaoying to the office.

The first thing he saw was the piled up documents. Chen Hao couldn't help but sighed, and then with the help of Xiaoying, he started to deal with the company's affairs.

Soon, Smart rushed over, "President Chen, Secretary Zhao!"

"Come on, sit down!" Chen Hao hurriedly signed without raising his head.

Smart also got used to it, so he sat down straight away, glanced at Chen Hao and said, ""National Superman Hancock" has been officially released in North America and the world!"

"Oh?" Chen Hao raised his head upon hearing this.

""National Superman Hancock" has won a total box office of 2.45 million US dollars in North America, temporarily ranking No. 2007 in the 6 North American annual box office list.

The film's global box office is 6.51 million US dollars, and it also temporarily ranks 2007th in the global box office list in 6! "Smart introduced.

Chen Hao thought about it, and the North American box office of "National Superman Hancock" was 2800 million US dollars higher than last year's "The Da Vinci Code", but the ranking dropped by 1.

As for the global box office, "National Superman Hancock" is not as good as the global box office of "The Da Vinci Code", which is as much as 1.1 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office ranking has directly dropped by 4 places.

主要也是因为今年全球票房排行榜都被系列片给统治了，排名全球票房前4的分别是《加勒比海盗3》、《哈利波特5》、《蜘蛛侠3》以及《怪物史瑞克3》。

The No.1 non-series movie with the highest box office ranking in the world is "Transformers", and the No.2 is "National Superman Hancock".

Sony Columbia is very satisfied with the box office of "National Superman Hancock", whether it is North America or the world.

Although the global box office is not as good as "The Da Vinci Code", "The Da Vinci Code" is an adaptation. You must know that the novel has sold 4000 million copies worldwide.

Coupled with the fact that it involved religious beliefs, it attracted a lot of attention and controversy, and the global box office ranked second in the year, which can be said to have a reason.

And "National Superman Hancock" is an original movie, and the box office in North America can surpass "The Da Vinci Code", Sony Columbia has already secretly laughed.

Chen Hao is also very satisfied with this, because he has the right to share 20% of the North American box office of "Superman Hancock".

The North American box office of "National Superman Hancock" is 2.45 million U.S. dollars, and the 20% box office dividend is 4900 million U.S. dollars!
Adding in the previous 2000 million yuan, the remuneration for a movie "Superman Hancock", Chen Hao got 6900 million US dollars, or 5.244 million yuan!

This salary can be regarded as the top director's income in the world!

Speaking of the North American box office share, after deducting taxes, Chen Hao was able to get another 4018 million US dollars, or 3.0536 million yuan!

In 2007, although the exchange rate of USD/RMB dropped to 7.6 on average, it was still very profitable!

Sony Columbia is also very happy. Not to mention the global box office, Chen Hao also brought them a good start to the series.

At this time, Sony Columbia is already preparing for "National Superman Hancock 2". Originally, they planned to invite Chen Hao to continue directing, but Chen Hao refused because he wanted to film "Iron Man"!

Sony Columbia is actually in a hurry at this time, because Chen Hao has already reached cooperation with 20th Century Fox and Universal, and Sony wants to cooperate with Chen Hao again, so they don't know when it will be scheduled.

The key is that director Chen Hao's films still maintain a [-]% success rate, which has to make all major Hollywood companies flock to them!
"Transformers is still showing in North America. At this time, the North American box office has exceeded 3 million, reaching 3.0859 million US dollars, and the global box office has also reached 6.93 million US dollars.

Whether it is the North American box office or the global box office, it ranks fifth, just ahead of "National Superman Hancock". "Smart continued.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "What plans does the company have for the second half of the year?"

“下半年，公司主要还有2部影片要发行，一部是11月1日万圣节的《电锯惊魂5》，一部是安排在12月7日的《环太平洋》！
Let’s not say that “Saw 5” is scheduled for Halloween, but you really decided to schedule “Pacific Rim” for December 12th?On that day, New Line's "Dark Matter Trilogy: The Golden Compass" was released! "Smart reminded.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, New Line produced, a magical masterpiece, and another trilogy, you think "The Golden Compass" is "The Lord of the Rings"?

"Isn't there still 20th Century Fox's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" after a week's delay, so it's set for that day." Chen Hao affirmed.

Smart didn't say much after hearing the words, although he thought that "The Golden Compass" had greater box office potential than "Alvin and the Chipmunks", but since the boss was so sure, he stopped talking too much.

"By the way, "Iron Man" is ready?" Chen Hao asked.

"The crew is all ready behind the scenes, and the shooting location has already been contacted, and now the heroine is asking you to interview in person." Smart replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The "Iron Man" filmed by Chen Hao maintained the original version as much as possible, but also made some changes.

The "Iron Man" in the previous life was Marvel's fateful work, so it didn't think too much about the connection with the follow-up movies, but Chen Hao was different.

Now that he has announced the Marvel superhero movie universe plan in front of the entire United States, in the opening work "Iron Man", Chen Hao is going to let several main heroes show their faces and make cameo appearances.

Chen Hao's plan is to let the American team and the black widow show up in advance, paving the way for the following "Captain America".

As for Thor, Brother Hammer may not have come to the United States to hang out at this time. Hulk, it is because Sony Columbia has made another one, starring Edward Norton.

To avoid confusion, keep it out of the way and bring it up in conversation!

In the original "Iron Man", Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and War Machine will naturally appear.

Speaking of Colonel Roddy of War Machine, Chen Hao directly replaced Terrence Howard in the original version with Don Cheadle.

Because this change of roles appeared in "Iron Man 2" in the previous life, it was resisted by some fans. After all, this made many people feel that it was not authentic enough!
Although neither the parties involved nor Marvel responded to this change of roles, the main reason should be the salary.

When Terrence joined the crew in his previous life, he was nominated for "Best Actor in the 78th Oscar", and his film salary was 450 million US dollars, the highest for the crew, 50 times that of Robert Downey Jr.'s 9.

He originally signed a 3-episode contract, but Downey's pay for the second film soared, and the film crew decided to cut the role of Colonel Roddy and lower the pay to 100 million, which aroused the latter's dissatisfaction.

Because the salary he hopes is 800 million, the gap between ideal and reality is not so big.Terrence ultimately turned down the role, and Cheadle took over.

There is nothing wrong with the actions of both parties, but Colonel Roddy is a well-regulated character, no matter who plays it, he is the same, but there is only one RDJ.

This salary adjustment itself is not a problem.

Terrence starred in a blockbuster movie, continued to star and was cut off, it is really not acceptable.

Cheadle's salary is unknown, but it must be more cost-effective.

Controlling pay is also a consistent practice in the series of movies, just like Iron Man and Black Widow had to die later!
Therefore, Chen Hao directly asked Cheadle to play Gears of War this time, to avoid the dissatisfaction of some fans caused by the change of roles.

In addition, there was a change in the cast of Pepper. Chen Hao felt that he had to find someone more refined, so now he had to audition for Eva Green, Megan Fox, and Anne Hathaway.

The final candidate must be determined based on their performance!
