Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 698 Lollipop

After returning from Langfang, Chen Hao had another two days with Xiaohu.

During the day, the two went shopping, but when they found that they were in danger of being recognized, they stayed on the Daping floor all day long, kept in-depth exchanges, and tasted all the cheese until they were exhausted.

After enough rest, the two of them will go home to have dinner to replenish their strength.

After two days of gossip like this, Chen Hao had to leave to go to the crew.

Originally, in January, the crew of Chen Hao's new film had already completed preparations and was about to start filming.

However, due to the once-in-50-year snowstorm in the south, the crew had to delay.

Now, in order to allow enough production time for post-production special effects, and because the Imperial Capital Olympic Games will be held in August this year, it should have a considerable impact on the box office of the released movies.

Therefore, Chen Hao's new film will not be released in early August, and must be brought forward, so the time is even tighter.

Therefore, on February 2, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of Chen Hao's new film gathered.

Meanwhile, the second week of February passed.

Last week, only one Jay Chou's "Slam Dunk" was released in the mainland film market. It is obvious that they dare to release it in the second week of the release of Master Xing's new film.

And the confidence of "Slam Dunk" is undoubtedly Jay Chou's terrifying popularity.

However, "Slam Dunk" did not create a miracle. Xingye's "Yangtze River No. 7" won the weekly box office champion with a box office of 5500 million yuan.

Two weeks after its release, "Yangtze River No. 7" has accumulated a box office of 2 million yuan in the mainland, making it the first film in the mainland with a box office of over 1.2 million yuan in 2008.

Although the word-of-mouth of "Yangtze River No. 7" is not as good as "Kung Fu", its box office is even worse than it, and Star Master's box office appeal is still terrifying.

In addition, in the North American film market, Liang Tianchi Films' first film "Taken 2008" in 3 was released in a hurry after 6 weeks of release.

As the third part of the series, "Taken 3" can be said to be high and low. Obviously, the potential of this series is almost exhausted.

With the impressive box office of $4040 million in the first week, the final North American box office of "Taken 3" was only $8679 million, which was unexpected by everyone.

According to the box office calculations of the first week, the final North American box office of "Taken 3" should be around 1.2 million U.S. dollars, but not only did it not exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, it even only completed two-thirds of the task.

But there is also good news, also because the series of movies have a considerable fan base, so the global box office performance of "Taken 3" is still very good.

Except for North America, the box office of all other release regions has reached 2 million US dollars, and the mainland will not be released until March 3.

"Taken 3" topped $3 million at the global box office, so that's not a big problem.

In other words, "Taken 3" invested 5000 million U.S. dollars, with a North American box office of 8679 million and a global box office of 3 million U.S. dollars!
This series seems to have a bit of a head start, but that was when Chen Hao and Liam Neeson, who was at the bottom, signed a contract for 3 movies from the very beginning.

Now, the only protagonist Liam Neeson has made it clear that he will not appear in this series again.

Of course, this statement cannot be said to be so absolute, but if you want to impress Liam Neeson, you will definitely have to ask for a sky-high salary.

But looking at the North American box office and global box office of "Taken 3", whether there will be a fourth part is indeed a question.

……

"Director Chen, it's finally time to start the machine!" Liu Dehua greeted Chen Hao with a smile.

"Hua Zai, he's still so handsome!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Hahaha... Who can be as handsome as you now! I was still worried that the snowstorm would delay me for a long time, and my schedule would be in trouble." Liu Dehua laughed.

"Yeah, fortunately this disaster is over." Chen Hao sighed.

"Yeah, it's finally over." Liu Dehua sighed in the same way, "But I admire you, Director Chen, one donation is 2000 million, amazing!"

"After achieving financial freedom, money is just a series of numbers." Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I have asked for so much, so naturally I have to give back, otherwise I am afraid of retribution!"

"Your retribution must be good!" Liu Dehua patted Chen Hao and said.

"I hope so!" Chen Hao thought of his romantic affair, and shook his head secretly, "This cooperation, we will strive to go further!"

"That's right, go one step further!" Liu Dehua nodded.

The two had collaborated on "I Am Legend" before, but it ranked runner-up in the annual box office rankings.

This new film, if it goes a step further, it will definitely be the crown of the year!

However, Liu Dehua has gained the most. After all, he has won the American Saturn Award for best actor, which is not low in gold!
"Director Chen, we are finally going to cooperate again!" Fan Yaojing came over and said with a smile, "Hello Brother Hua!"

"Hello!" Liu Dehua replied with a smile.

Chen Hao glanced at Fan Yaojing and nodded.

Seeing this, Fan Yaojing knew that Chen Hao might still be angry with him for drinking Yaya that night, but he was not afraid. Fan Yaojing was confident that there were many ways to make Chen Hao "change his mind"!
"Brother Ritian!"

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this address, and as soon as he turned around, a figure jumped into his arms, and immediately felt his handsome face was soaked in softness.

Chen Hao smiled and took a closer look, it turned out to be Song Zu.

"Zu'er is here!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Well, Brother Ritian misses you so much, do you miss him?" Song Zu asked with his arms tightly around Chen Hao's neck.

"Of course I do!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Bragging!" Song Zu pursed his mouth and said, "I miss me, why don't you call him?"

"Aren't I afraid of delaying your study?" Chen Hao said with shame.

"Hmph, I think you are busy picking up girls!" Song Zu said angrily.

"puff……"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

Fairy Fan laughed, "Is Zuer jealous?"

Song Zu's pretty face flushed when he heard the words, and then he lowered his head and shrank into Chen Hao's arms, making everyone laugh.

"Director Chen's charm is really great, everyone can eat it!" Fan Yaojing joked.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Fairy Fan when he heard the words, but saw Fairy Fan biting her red lips and staring at Chen Hao with winking eyes.

Before Chen Hao could respond, he heard a murmur in his arms, "Fox!"

I couldn't help but smiled, and glanced at the little guy in my arms, he was really big and clever!

"Brother Ritian, I want to eat your lollipop!" Song Zu raised his head and blinked his big eyes.

"Well, when will I bring it to you!" Chen Hao twitched his lips, and said seriously in Fan Yaojing's half-smile eyes.

"Okay, everyone is almost here, let's start reading around!" Chen Hao said.

Immediately, everyone went to a large room in the hotel, sat around together, and began to read around.

Chen Hao's new film is a sci-fi disaster film, "2012"!
I believe many people have heard that December 2012, 12 will be the end of the world, and this statement comes from the Mayan civilization, because its calendar ended on this day.

Furthermore, because the Mayan civilization has 5 famous prophecies, and the first 4 prophecies are correct, it is inevitable for everyone to be skeptical about the fifth prophecy, that the winter solstice in 5 will be the end of the world.

Of course, this prediction proved wrong.

In fact, the prediction that 2012 is the end of the world originated earlier from a hypothetical planet: Nibiru, which the Sumerians believed would eventually hit the earth.

The date of this disaster was originally thought to be May 2003, but nothing happened that day, so the date of this "doom" was pushed back to December 5.

And this coincides with the date of the 2012 winter solstice in the ancient Mayan calendar.

This kind of coincidence seems to have deepened the "correctness" of this prophecy. In addition, the Mayan civilization prophecy has been 5 out of 4, and the movie "2012" fueled it for publicity, so this kind of doomsday theory was popular on the Internet for a while.

Everyone has heard of it more or less.

Of course, such rumors turned out to be rumors in the end.

However, many works of art draw materials from it, and the movie "2012" is one of them.

"2012" tells the story of the male protagonist taking his children on vacation, only to find that the lake with good memories has dried up, and this area has become a restricted area.

Filled with doubts, he stumbled across a man who believed in mysterious prophecies at a nearby camp.

This person told him that because the natural environment and resources have been plundered and destroyed by humans for a long time, the balance system of the earth itself is on the verge of collapse, and human beings are about to face unprecedented natural disasters.

He also said that some countries have jointly secretly developed and built an ark that can avoid this disaster.

Hearing this, the hero naturally thought he was a lunatic, so he just laughed it off and walked away.

But the next day, disaster struck.

Strong earthquakes and huge volcanic eruptions turned the familiar homeland into a hell on earth.

In other parts of the earth, various natural disasters also broke out on an unprecedented scale.

The hero, like many families, embarked on the road to survival.

In the face of global natural disasters, he didn't know where to go, he suddenly remembered the ark and the map mentioned by the mysterious man, so he decided to go to the base of Noah's Ark to find a chance of survival.

In the process of searching for and going to the Noah's Ark base, the male protagonist's family has gone through life and death tests, and finally they finally arrived at the Ark base.

However, the number of arks that have been manufactured is far from satisfying the disaster-stricken people who have heard the news from all over the world.

Who goes and who stays has become a moral choice that challenges the entire human race.

In the face of disasters, human beings from different countries have made the most important choice: "All people are equal and have an equal chance to survive!"

In the end, people finally survived this global disaster in the Ark, and gained the hope of continued reproduction and development.

In "2012", the theory of the end of the world is that when the solar activity reached its peak, the neutrinos released directly heated the earth's core, causing many natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions on the earth!
In fact, solar activity takes about 11 years as a cycle.

When the solar activity reaches its peak, it will affect communication satellites and space stations, but it will not break through the earth's own magnetic field shield and the interception of the atmosphere, so it will not cause harm to the creatures on the earth.

Neutrinos, on the other hand, are extremely penetrating particles that interact extremely weakly with other matter.

Every moment a large number of neutrinos pass through our bodies and the earth itself without leaving any impact.

Moreover, the neutrinos from the sun originate from the thermonuclear reaction in the center of the sun, and have nothing to do with the activities on the surface of the sun.

But these are actually indifferent, because everyone watching "2012" is actually going for the dazzling and amazing special effects, and everyone doesn't know these scientific knowledge.

As long as it sounds like that, the most important thing is to watch the special effects and enjoy the dramatic visual impact.

Therefore, Chen Hao didn't bother to find other scientific theories.

On the first day of the crew's assembly, Chen Hao arranged for everyone to read it together twice. If any problems were found, they would immediately discuss and solve them. If they could not be solved temporarily, Lu Yang would write them down and find time to solve them later.

After the reading was over, everyone didn't disperse immediately, Chen Hao directly asked the hotel to deliver the meal, everyone ate together, chatting more is to seize the time to get acquainted, so as to cultivate a tacit understanding.

However, as everyone was chatting, Chen Hao soon heard the discussion of "***door".

This incident not only did not stop, but intensified.

Now 7 actresses have been involved, which has aroused the anger of many fans, and everyone wants Teacher Chen to apologize publicly.

At the same time, the police have arrested the suspect, but the photos are still being exposed.

As a result, all the scenes of Mr. Chen's movie "Jump Out" were deleted, and Zhang You raised me and moved. The media revealed that the relationship between his husband and wife has broken down and they have agreed to divorce.

Some wealthy marriages fell through, and it was even rumored that Yinghuang offered 700 million yuan to buy all the photos.

At the same time, photo discs and items are on sale, among which the "Big Mouth Monkey" underwear is the most sought-after!

Everyone chatted enthusiastically, but Chen Hao didn't take it seriously, after all, he had watched all of them with a critical eye in his previous life.

Now what Chen Hao thinks is that after this incident, Xiangjiang's young generation who is the most admired and most capable is ruined.

The Xiangjiang entertainment industry, which was already weak, will be even more difficult to sustain.

Then you can see that Xiangjiang has represented artists for more than ten or twenty years, and there are still only a few people such as Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, and Gu Tianle.

Well, Zhang Jiahui was promoted again later, but in the end there was really no one left, and even rubbish like Du Wenze could show up.

The Xiangjiang entertainment circle, which was already at a low ebb, could be said to be worse.

However, this has given opportunities to many middle-aged and new-generation niche students in the mainland. Coupled with the rapid rise and rapid development of the mainland film and television entertainment industry, many people have enjoyed dividends.

The film and television resources of the younger generation in Xiangjiang were gradually taken away by the high-quality niche students in the mainland, and then they were sought after by capital, who directly took the lead.

However, these have little to do with Chen Hao, anyway, he does not lack resources, he brings his own resources.

As for the various problems of "Little Fresh Meat" and "Little Huadan" in the future, as the capital, he has the right to choose, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

……

After the first day of assembly was disbanded, Chen Hao stayed in his room and looked at the shooting plan.

But, soon there was a knock on the door.

As soon as Chen Hao opened the door, Fairy Fan squeezed in. Then she winked and licked her red lips and said, "I heard that Director Chen has lollipops here? I want to taste it myself! Let's see what it tastes like!"
