Chapter 651 Bet
"The box office of "Pacific Rim" broke through 2.9145 million yuan, officially surpassing "Curse of the Golden Flower" to become the top domestic film box office champion!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"The box office of "Pacific Rim" surpassed that of "Golden Armor" and ranked second in the mainland film history!"--Qiandu Entertainment
""Pacific Rim" is about to bring the box office of domestic movies into the era of 3 million!" --- Netease Entertainment
……

"Pacific Rim" broke the box office record of "Golden Armor" and was crowned the box office champion of domestic films in mainland film history. At the same time, it was also promoted to the second place in the total box office list of mainland film history, second only to "Titanic" with 3.6 million yuan!
This box office result has excited the industry. Although the box office of "Pacific Rim" is the box office of Haotian Films, it also allows everyone to see the great progress of the mainland film market and its huge box office potential.

Although many film companies envy and hate the super high box office of "Pacific Rim", they are undoubtedly more confident in the development of their own company, which has led to the establishment of many film companies.

The explosive box office of "Pacific Rim" has even attracted the attention of a lot of capital, who regard the film and television industry as the next target for investment.

There are also major film and television companies that are currently actively preparing for financing or going public, including Haotian's old rival Huayi.

The media naturally reported frantically and wanted to interview Chen Hao, but it was a pity that Chen Hao was in North America, so they couldn't see him.

However, the media immediately turned to interview Mr. Xun and Deng Chao, and Hu Jun, who was on the crew of "Red Cliff" with Deng Chao, did not escape the harassment of the media.

Even Jing Tian, ​​who only owns a few shots, has recently appeared in the media frequently, and her exposure rate has soared for a while, but she has seen the terrifying influence of the four major directors in the mainland!

On the contrary, Fan Yaojing, who was on the crew of "Painted Skin" with Mr. Xun, was a little jealous. Before, she thought that "Transformers" would win the 2.6 box office champion with its 2007 million yuan.

Who would have thought that Chen Hao would be so fierce that he directly broke the box office record of a domestic movie, and even went for 3 million box office!

The point is that "Transformers" starred Fan Yaojing, while "Pacific Rim" starred Mr. Xun, which made her seem to be slightly inferior in the competition with Mr. Xun.

The media originally debated which of the two was Haotian's first sister, but they generally believed that it was Mr. Xun. After all, Mr. Xun had deep qualifications, and he was soft when he won awards. He was obviously better than Fan Yaojing.

It's just that as Fan Yaojing starred in Hollywood's super sci-fi masterpiece "Transformers" and swept the box office all over the world, Fan Yaojing, who has become an international fan, seems to have a faint momentum to surpass Mr. Xun.

The media also joined in the fun and hyped up, reporting that the relationship between the two was tense, and they had already torn their faces for the first sister of Haotian.

But now that the box office of "Pacific Rim" has exploded, the mainland media has changed their face again, and Mr. Xun's position as the first sister is quite stable.

Fan Yaojing looked at the surrounded media, and the smiling Mr. Xun snorted. He could only think that he was following the Hollywood route and wanted an international style.

Moreover, the global box office of "Transformers" will definitely stabilize "Pacific Rim", and there are sequels to be filmed. In terms of prospects, it must be higher than Mr. Xun. Let's talk about masturbation!
……

The hustle and bustle in the Mainland hadn't disturbed Chen Hao. At this time, the crew of "Iron Man" was ready, so Chen Hao officially held the "Iron Man" launch conference on September 2007, 9!

There is no doubt that this is a press conference that is enough to record the history of the development of the Marvel superhero movie universe.

The media in North America are also very concerned about this. First, because of Chen Hao's own influence, five English-language films have broken the box office of 5 million in a row, and 3 of them have broken the box office of 2 million, and none of them missed the box office. It is amazing!

The second is because "Iron Man" is the opening chapter of the Marvel superhero movie universe proposed by Chen Hao. As one of the symbols of American culture, Marvel has a huge influence in the entire United States.

Marvel fans across the United States are extremely excited, and they admire Chen Hao who proposed this grand blueprint.

Even if the media and the industry are unanimously unfavorable, it is still difficult to resist the attraction of this huge plan to them.

As for the media, even if they want to ridicule, they have to write something, so the press conference of "Iron Man" can be described as a gathering of reporters.

"I didn't expect Chen Hao to actually start the Marvel superhero movie universe project!"

"Yes, but do you want him to succeed? Or do you want him to fail?"

"As a Marvel fan, I hope that he and Marvel can succeed, but no matter how you look at it, it's unlikely! After all, apart from Spider-Man and the X-Men, Marvel's other heroes don't make money at all!"

"That's right, I can only hope that Chen Hao's magic will continue to work."

"To be honest, what do you think will happen if a Chinese person shoots an American superhero? I think it will be the same ending as Li Yin's "Hulk"!"

……

At 8:[-] in the morning, Chen Hao brought Downey, Anne Hathaway and other film creators to the press conference.

The scene suddenly flashed, and the media were enthusiastic.

After Chen Hao was seated first, he gave the media another 5 minutes to take pictures, and then tapped the microphone, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"Thank you very much for being able to attend the launch conference of "Iron Man" today. It seems that everyone is very interested in this movie." Chen Hao laughed.

The reporters in the audience also laughed when they heard the words, but they were somewhat malicious.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, you may know "Iron Man" better than me, so I won't go into too much introduction, if you have any questions, just ask!" Chen Hao said bluntly.

"Director Chen, has the script of "Iron Man" changed significantly compared to the comics? Will it be changed beyond recognition?"

"Adaptation must be adapted to a certain extent, after all, movies are different from comics, but these are artistic re-creations based on loyalty to comics.

And I said that this is the opening chapter of the Marvel superhero movie universe. In "Iron Man", we have already cooperated with other superheroes. Comic fans not only don't have to worry, but can have expectations. "Chen Hao laughed.

"Director Chen, can you tell me what other superheroes will appear in "Iron Man"?"

"Well, I'll keep it secret for the time being. If you want to know, you can go into the movie theater to find out for yourself when it's released!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Director Chen, as a Chinese, do you think you can shoot American superheroes well? After all, Li Yin failed miserably when shooting the Hulk!"

As soon as this question came up, many reporters had gloating smiles on their faces, obviously they were trying to embarrass Chen Hao!
"Whether you can make a good movie or not has nothing to do with the nationality of the director, just like Americans have made many bad superhero movies before, the key is whether you are well prepared and sincere!
And in order to film the Marvel superhero movie universe, I spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy Marvel, even at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, so do you think I have sincerity?Or do you think I have too much money and nowhere to spend it? "Chen Hao said coldly.

"Director Chen, all the previous Marvel superhero movies have failed or had mediocre response except for "Spiderman" and "X-Men", but can you say that they are not sincere? Who would not take themselves seriously? What about movies?
But they still failed, why do you think you can succeed? "

With a bang, this tit-for-tat question caused the reporters on the scene to talk a lot, some gloated about it, and some were excited.

Downey and the others all looked at Chen Hao, a little nervous and anxious.

Chen Hao also didn't expect the media's questions to be so sharp today, but he was full of confidence, so why would he be afraid.

"Because I have never failed!" Chen Hao said loudly.

Hearing the words at the scene, he was taken aback for a moment, and then started buzzing with discussions. Chen Hao was right. His films, whether in Chinese or English, had never failed, and many of them were still big hits at the box office.

"Director Chen, movies are actually similar to gambling. No one can guarantee that they will win all the time. It's a bit shameful of you to say that!"

The reporters at the scene looked at Chen Hao expectantly after hearing the words, it was obvious that they had sex with Chen Hao!

"Oh, you are making things difficult. I can't prove that I can do it now, but you can't prove that you are right either. After all, the movie hasn't been released, and no one knows the result!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Director Chen, why don't we make a bet, how about we bet on the box office after the movie's release?"

There was another commotion at the scene, and countless reporters were expecting Chen Hao to agree, so that there would be a hot spot and attract attention!
"Don't agree!" Downey said, covering his mouth with his hands.

Chen Hao felt a little funny, and this plot felt a little familiar.

But the current situation is that if I agree, I seem to be cheated. If I don't agree, the media reporters must say that I don't have confidence, and "Iron Man" is undoubtedly a bad movie.

But thinking about such hype, it seems that the promotion of "Iron Man" is also a good thing!

"Then how much box office do you think "Iron Man" is considered a success?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

The reporters in the audience were excited when they heard the words. Chen Hao has taken the bait. After all, he is young and vigorous!

"The investment in "Iron Man" is 1.3 million US dollars, so as long as "Iron Man" can get 2.5 million at the box office, it will be considered a success! How about it, Director Chen dare to take a gamble?"

Those present were delighted when they heard the 2.5 million box office, and felt that this colleague was a little shameless.

Superhero movies, except for Marvel's "Spider-Man" series trilogy, which has a box office of more than 3 million US dollars in North America, have not performed well.

Let’s just talk about Marvel’s other top-selling superhero “X-Men” series. The North American box office of the three films was 1.57 million, 2.14 million and 2.34 million US dollars respectively!
The goal of 2.5 million is more than any box office of "X-Men".

"Iron Man" is not a popular Marvel superhero, and it is quite difficult for him to catch up with the box office of "X-Men", one of Marvel's two most popular movies.

"Excuse me, which newspaper reporter are you?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"The Utah News!"

"No wonder, Utah!"

"Damn, this is almost racial discrimination written on the face!"

"These guys are really blatant, but that's okay, it's good for everyone!"

……

While the reporters were discussing, they couldn't help looking at Chen Hao, wanting to see how he would react.

Chen Hao also caught the expressions of the reporters in the audience, looked at the expectation in their eyes, but pretended to hesitate for a while.

"What? Director Chen doesn't dare? Maybe he doesn't have confidence in the movie!"

Chen Hao glanced at the other party when he heard the words, it was a clumsy aggressive method, but in this situation, it is very effective.

"At first, I didn't want to agree, because after all, there is no benefit for me to win, and you will succeed no matter what." Chen Hao shook his head and said, "But since you are so persistent, let's take a gamble, but we have to Raise your bets!"

Now that he was a little bit stuck, he simply took a gamble. Anyway, Chen Hao had a good idea, and this would allow "Iron Man" to maintain maximum exposure.

Especially when the movie is released next year, I believe the media will release this bet on their own. At that time, it will also be a kind of alternative publicity for "Iron Man", which will be beneficial to its box office.

"It's a trick!"

"Still too young!"

"Haha, here's a good show to watch!"

……

When the reporters heard that Chen Hao agreed to bet against each other, they were overjoyed, as if they saw the bonus beckoning to them.

"Director Chen, how are you going to bet?"

"What's your name?"

"Shemlis!"

"Okay, if Iron Man doesn't make $2.5 million at the North American box office, I'll take that back and admit I'm a mediocre guy.

Conversely, if it hits $2.5 million at the box office, you've got to run it in the Utah News that Shemlis is a villain who will do anything for fame! " Chen Hao laughed.

"This is not fair!"

"The occurrence of this bet itself is not fair, because our identities are not equal. In fact, winning or losing is not good for me, but it is of great benefit to you, so if you don't want to bet, forget it and pretend I didn't say it! " Chen Hao shrugged.

"Don't be cowardly, just bet!"

"Sacrificing one of you, happy thousands of families!"

"If you bet, you will become famous, don't hesitate!"

……

Facing the expectant and encouraging eyes of all his peers, Semlis finally nodded with an ugly expression.

"Okay, it's a deal." Chen Hao nodded and said, "Are there any questions?"

"Director Chen, will you always direct the movies in the Marvel Superhero Movie Universe?"

"Of course not, no matter how much you like the food, you will get tired of eating it every day." Chen Hao shook his head and said, "So, I will only make "Iron Man".

Of course, if the Marvel superhero movie universe project is successful, then I should make another "Avengers"! "

"Director Chen, I heard that the heroine of "Iron Man" is Nicole Kidman, why is it changed to Anne Hathaway?"

"The main purpose is to build the Marvel superhero movie universe, which will take more than ten years. Considering age and status, we will choose younger protagonists.

Of course, it's also because Annie's performance is so good, I am extremely satisfied, I can't find any flaws, she is the one who makes the bed decision! " Chen Hao replied with a smile.
