Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 663 "Pacific Rim" Asia

Cheng Tian acquired Jiahe's equity and bonds held by Zou Wenhuai and his daughter, becoming the largest single shareholder of Jiahe, which can be said to have triggered a tsunami-like response.

It was even more shocking than when Wang Jinhua left Huayi and joined Chengtian!
Seeing that the third pole of mainland entertainment is about to rise, officially challenging Huayi and Haotian, the media is naturally very lively.

Chen Hao just smiled lightly at this. Jiahe seems to be a legend in the film industry, but it has long since faded away. Not only has the production been discontinued, but also the brain drain is serious. It is impossible to bring much talent and production experience to Chengtian.

Chengtian obviously miscalculated in this regard, but his ultimate goal will undoubtedly be achieved.

That is, listing!

Jiahe itself is a listed company, and Wu Kebo obviously wants to go public through a backdoor!

As far as the capital is concerned, Wu Kebo is indeed very familiar with the game, but the most fundamental thing in the entertainment industry is to rely on the works to speak. Even if it goes on the market, without a good work as a base, how much leeks can be harvested?

Speaking of which, in order to hit the number one entertainment company in the mainland, many companies have begun to make efforts.

Since Haotian Films announced its listing within three years a few years ago, Huayi first introduced Focus Media’s capital injection of 3 million US dollars, and then Pony Feiteng started its A round of financing.

Now, Chengtian has invested in Jiahe again, so everyone is not idle.

It is estimated that Guangguang and Berner should also make some moves next!

"Is Chengtian going to go public through a back door?" Xiaoying who regained her clarity asked, looking at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao smiled, "It should be, but it has nothing to do with us, let's continue!"

After speaking, Chen Hao picked up Xiaoying and walked to the big boat.

But Xiaoying lay in Chen Hao's arms and muttered resentfully, "Coward, I dare not take it seriously!"

Hey, Chen Hao realized that he was despised, so he immediately launched a crazy revenge.

……

On the second day, Chen Hao continued the filming of "Iron Man", trying to finish it as soon as possible so that post-production could start.

Time flies, and a new week is coming soon, and the North American box office for the first week of November is also freshly released!
North American weekend box office list (2007.11.2-2007.11.4):
No. 1, "American Gangster", released for 3 days, weekend box office of 4634 million US dollars, Universal Pictures, cumulative box office of 4634 million US dollars, 3054 theaters;
The second place, "A Little Bee", was released for 2 days, with a weekend box office of 3 million US dollars, Paramount/Dreamworks, a cumulative box office of 3910 million US dollars, and 3910 theaters;
No. 3, "Chain Saw 5", released for 3 days, with a weekend box office of 3005 million US dollars, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 3005 million US dollars, and 3183 theaters;
No. 4, "Dan's Real Life", released for 10 days, with a weekend box office of 813 million US dollars, Disney Pictures, a cumulative box office of 2295 million US dollars, and 1925 theaters;
No. 5, "Thirty Nights", released for 17 days, with a weekend box office of 400 million US dollars, Sony Columbia, with a cumulative box office of 3423 million US dollars, and 2627 theaters;
……

In the first week of November, a total of 11 new films were released in the North American film market.

In addition to New Line's "Children of Mars", which did not perform well at the box office, and only earned $2020 million in theaters in 365, ranking seventh on the list, the other three new films directly occupy the top three on the list!

Previously not favored by the media, "American Gangster", which was expected by the industry to be only 2000-2500 million US dollars, successfully counterattacked with a magnificent box office of about 15200 US dollars per theater.

Although it is Oscar's favorite "gangster epic + adaptation of real events + magnificent masterpiece", "American Gangster", which is suspected of "following the trend of "The Departed", has a budget of 1 million US dollars.

What's more, Director Scott had long ago made a self-destructive remark of "I can't win the award because I'm British!"

Therefore, if you want to join the ranks of the Olympic bid, you need not only excellent quality, but also the escort of box office revenue that matches the production specifications. Only by speaking of "economic contribution to the big Hollywood machine" can we hope to smooth Scott's disrespectful quotations.

Now it seems that Scott has won. Not only did the box office far exceed expectations, but he also gained a good reputation that is very beneficial to maintaining marketing stamina.

The media comprehensive evaluation score is 76 points, among which Yahoo is B+, and Rotten Tomatoes website freshness is 78%!

It seems that Scott can hit the Oscar again this time.

However, the cartoon "A Little Bee", which was screened in 3928 theaters and invited a lot of big-name voices, did not perform satisfactorily. With an investment of 1.5 million yuan, the first weekend was 3910 million yuan. No matter how you look at it, it is thankless. buy and sell.

Moreover, the media’s comprehensive evaluation score is 55 points, among which Yahoo is C+, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes website is 54%. It has basically bid farewell to the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

"Chain Saw 3", which ranked third on the list, also performed poorly, with 5 million, setting the lowest opening record except for the first part of the series.

What's worse is that the media score is only 60 points, which is acceptable, but according to this score, the film's stamina must not be great, and the decline in popularity is an indisputable fact.

On the bright side, the box office remained at $3000 million in the first weekend, which is considered a success for a low-cost thriller with an investment of only $1100 million.

What's more, there are also income from channels such as DVD sales and rental, which has now become the main source of income for this series.

Therefore, this also means that there is no suspense in the launch of "Saw 6", and it should be able to meet you in 2009!
At the same time, Xiaoying found Chen Hao during the filming break, because "Pacific Rim" is also officially drawn in the whole of Asia!
"How much is the domestic box office?" Chen Hao asked.

"The final total box office in the mainland is 3.12 million yuan!" Xiaoying replied, "the difference between "Titanic" and "Titanic" is 4800 million yuan!"

"It's not bad." Chen Hao's mentality is very good, anyway, sooner or later it will be his own, "Is it the annual crown?"

“目前是的。”小颖看了眼资料道，“排名第2的《变形金刚》票房2.68亿，第3的《蜘蛛侠3》仅有1.45亿。

In the next 2 months, "Lust, Caution" that will still be competitive for the title of the year is just released, as well as "Assembly" and "Certificate of Voting" in the Lunar New Year file!

However, the box office of "Pacific Rim" has exceeded 3 million, and many people think that your annual crown has been stabilized! "

Chen Hao nodded with a smile. If "Pacific Rim" won the box office championship in 2007, then this would be Chen Hao's second box office title after "The Martian" in 2005.

It's a pity that "I Am Legend" has not surpassed the national teacher's "Full City with Golden Armor", otherwise it will be the annual box office champion for three consecutive times!
"By the way, the total domestic box office of "National Superman Hancock" is 1.32 million yuan, temporarily ranking fifth in the 2007 annual box office list in the mainland." Xiaoying added.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, but he was not very interested in it. After all, Chen Hao didn't take a share of the global box office, "Okay, let's talk about the box office in other Asian regions!"
