Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 761 Crown of China Entertainment
The time has come to the end of February. After shooting many scenes, the cooperation between the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" has become more and more tacit, and the shooting progress is also accelerating.

Chen Hao asked with a smile, "What documents did you say you wanted to show me?"

"Huh?!" Xiaoying hummed unconsciously.

For a while.

Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled, got up slightly, picked up a stack of documents by the bed, and leaned on the bed to read them.

The first thing Chen Hao saw was "The box office of "Crazy Racing" exceeded [-] million!"

The second part of Ning Hao's Crazy Series hit mainland theaters on January 1. After more than a month, the box office successfully broke through 20 million, making him the sixth mainland director with a box office of over 6 million.

This result was obviously beyond the expectations of the media and the industry. Although "Crazy Stone" made Ning Hao famous, the second commercial film broke [-] million, which is still a bit surprising.

After all, the investment in "Crazy Racing" is only 1000 million yuan, and this is obviously another classic case of using small things to make big gains.

Originally, the media and the industry were optimistic about Lu Chuan. His "Nanjing Nanjing" investment was as high as 8000 million, and because of the high-profile subject matter, everyone agreed that this year Lu Chuan would become the sixth Mainland director to break 6 million.

Unexpectedly, Ning Hao once again became a blockbuster, ahead of Lu Chuan.

In this way, Haotian has another director with a box office of more than [-] million. At the same time, the highest-grossing female director Yu Feihong is also in Haotian. It seems that Haotian is full of talents and is in full swing!

Speaking of it, "Crazy Racing" is also quite miserable. Although it became the third film in the mainland to break through 2009 million at the box office in 3, it never won the box office championship for even a week.

In the first week of its release, it encountered "Under the Red Cliff", which was released until the third week. Afterwards, "Under the Red Cliff" ended its three consecutive championships, but met "You Long Xi Feng" produced by Hua Yi, starring Liu Dehua and Shu Qi.

It was once again suppressed by "You Long Xi Feng" for 2 weeks, and then there was another French film, "Desperate Express 3" starring Jason Statham for 2 consecutive championships.

And now, the box office of "Crazy Racing" has exceeded [-] million, but it is also close to drawing.

"Crazy Racing" should be the only movie in the mainland that has grossed over [-] million yuan but has never won the weekly box office championship.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao thought of the third part of Ning Hao's crazy series "Crazy Alien".

This movie also set an embarrassing record, the movie with the highest box office without winning the weekly box office champion!

The 22 billion "Crazy Alien" did not win a weekly box office championship, but was severely suppressed by the super dark horse "The Wandering Earth" released at the same time.

Then came "Avengers 4", which didn't leave any chance for "Crazy Alien"!
However, at this moment, Ning Hao was not embarrassed at all, but became the focus of media and industry attention.

Not to mention the media, Chen Hao can imagine that there must be many companies that have moved their minds on Ning Hao at this time.

But Chen Hao is not in a hurry, after all, the brothers have been in love for 9 years, and it is not easy to break up.

What's more, Ning Hao owns 10% of the shares of Haotian Films, and it is not clear how much it is worth now.

But Huayi and Chengtian Jiahe must be reluctant to take out so much equity to hook up with Ning Hao, let alone other small companies.

After all, how do you choose between a 3% stake in Tongxun and a 100% stake in a small company?
The answer is clear at a glance!
What's more, Haotian Movie will be released soon, so leaving at this time, unless Ning Hao is stupid.

The second document is about "Ghost in the Heart", a horror romance film invested and produced by Haotian Films. This is the second film produced by Haotian Films this year.

The director is Teng Huatao, Li Ming and Liu Ruoying are invited for the lead roles, and Chen Hao arranges Yan Danchen to play the second female lead.

The investment in the film was as high as 3500 million RMB, but the box office in the first week was only 820 million. After three weeks, the cumulative box office was 1800 million RMB. Obviously, it will be lost.

The only consolation is that the acting skills of the two heroines are quite affirmed by the media and film critics. Maybe they can sign up for the film festival, win an award, try to sell some more copyright fees, and try to stop losses.

However, the box office of the movie is dismal, so Teng Hua can go back to filming TV dramas with peace of mind!

Then Chen Hao turned to the "Bidding Plan for Haotian Building".

After nearly three months of competition, finally three design proposals for Haotian Building were sent to Chen Hao.

As for which plan to choose in the end, Chen Hao must nod.

The first project is "film building"!
The three buildings are connected by corridors, and the whole is made into a slightly undulating movie film shape. This is a perfect combination with Haotian's main business, which can be described as ingenious.

The second plan is "Sailing Building"!
The three buildings are designed in the shape of a sail and two poles, and there is a hull at the bottom. The overall look is a sailing boat, which means smooth sailing!
The third scheme is "Crown Building"!
The three buildings stand side by side, with a diamond inlaid on the roof of each building, and a three-story circular structure connecting the two adjacent buildings, so that the whole building becomes a crown shape, symbolizing supreme power!
Looking at these three plans, Chen Hao felt that they were all very interesting and good, but he could only choose one of them!
After comparing and comparing, Chen Hao finally turned to the third plan, "Crown Building"!
The crown is a hat symbolizing supreme power worn by the monarch, which can show Haotian's ambitions!

In fact, Chen Hao prefers to call it "the crown of China Entertainment", which can better show his ambition and aspirations!

At the same time, the shape of the crown is also very similar to a ring. Chen Hao plans to carve the images of three women on the three diamonds on the three buildings in the plan.

It means that the relationship between myself and the three daughters is like "diamonds are forever, and one will last forever"!
When the "Crown of China Entertainment" is completed, it will definitely be the largest diamond ring in the world.

And after the three women know what they want, they will definitely be very happy, maybe the four of them can agree!
Thinking of this, Chen Hao ticked the "Crown of China Entertainment" and chose it!
After deciding,

……

The days of filming were very busy. In order to catch up with the summer vacation time, Chen Hao caused the entire crew to work nervously. Lu Yang was also arranged by Chen Hao to film more scenes.

However, because "Edge of Tomorrow" has a space-time loop setting, there are many repetitive scenes and shots, which may be a bit boring and boring to shoot.

Sometimes the same scene was shot for three or four consecutive days, with the same people and the same location, and even the lines did not change much.

Therefore, this film's requirements for actors are not high, but they are not low.

Because the same scene is shot four or five times, each time must reflect some subtle changes.

Especially Liu Ye, who is the leading actor, needs to repeat it countless times, and was killed countless times by Kate Beckinsale.

And after countless times of training, experience on the battlefield, and countless deaths, the temperament of the whole person will be a little different every time, and the details are especially critical.

Here, Chen Hao is about to act Liu Ye. His performance exceeded expectations. He seems to be able to handle this kind of very detailed performance. It is rare for NG to pass. Chen Hao couldn't help but give it a high look.

When the time came to March, the filming of the entire military base was almost finished. During this period, we basically had to shoot night scenes every day, and we were often busy until 3 o'clock to call it a day.

The actors are tired, and Chen Hao is not relaxed.

Although Chen Hao has a film in his mind, which has saved a lot of time and film, Chen Hao still has to check every night whether the film shot that day can be used.

See if there are any problems with the filmed film, and prepare the shooting schedule for the next few days.

Details including all camera positions and lighting effects must be prepared in advance, and if there are any problems during shooting, they should be corrected immediately, so as not to delay Chen Hao's rush for time.

……

When the crew left the military base and were about to go to the next shooting location to continue filming, Chen Hao left his crew alone and went to the crew of "The Founding of a Nation".

Because Han Sanpin asked Chen Hao to play a cameo role before, it has been delayed for a long time, and "The Founding of a Country" is about to be finished, so Chen Hao has no choice but to rush there.

After entering the film crew, Chen Hao went directly to Han Sanpin, and the whole journey was indeed full of stars. After all, counting 173 stars is a lot of effort!

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Chen Hao, and at the same time, there were some surprises. Unexpectedly, Chen Hao was also drawn into the crew of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

That's because they didn't see that Chen Kaige and Wu Baige had both made guest appearances before.

"Senior, I'm here to report to you!" Chen Hao said in front of Han Sanpin.

"Chen Hao, you are finally here!" Han Sanpin raised his head and smiled, "I thought you were going to let me go."

"Then I don't dare." Chen Hao smiled, "Isn't "Edge of Tomorrow" in a hurry, I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with the summer vacation."

Han Sanpin immediately asked after hearing the words, "How is the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" going? When will it be released?"

"Everything is going well so far. As for the release time, it should be at the end of July." Chen Hao said.

Han Sanpin nodded when he heard the words, that's good, there is a gap of one and a half months between "The Founding of a Nation".

"Then hurry up and put on your makeup, it's over after a few shots." Han Sanpin said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and was taken to the dressing room. The character played by Chen Hao was called Li Yinqiao.

Li Yinqiao is a lay disciple of the Wudang School, good at Taijiquan and Taijijian.

In order to reflect Li Yinqiao's strong martial arts, fierce and brave qualities, the makeup artist glued some mustaches on Chen Hao's face, and then changed into a military uniform, which became the head of the guard.

After putting on his makeup and changing his clothes, Chen Hao entered the venue and saw Tang Guoqiang and Range were resting and chatting.

The content of Chen Hao's filming is the plot of Li Yinqiao, who was the personal bodyguard of the great man during the bombing in 1948, and ordered the great man who had not yet evacuated to be forcibly taken away on a stretcher.

The main antagonists are the giant played by Tang Guoqiang and the chef played by Zhou Yuan.

"Hello, Teacher Tang! Hello, Teacher Fan!" Chen Hao walked up to the two of them and said hello.

"Director Chen, please sit down," Tang Guoqiang said.

"Hello, Director Chen!" The range on the side greeted.

Chen Hao sat down and said, "I didn't come from an acting background, so there may be a lot of problems in my acting skills. I will ask the two teachers to give me some pointers."

Chen Hao's role as Li Yinqiao is still relatively small. After all, it is a cameo, so it only takes 2 days to complete the filming. Moreover, Chen Hao didn't even have a line on the first day, so he just acted as a human background board.

He raised his head high and kept himself in the camera. Chen Hao could do it naturally. Then he watched Tang Guoqiang act. Of course, this actor's acting skills are very good, especially Zhuge Liang is too classic and impressive.

Of course, what Mr. Tang is even more impressive is, who has the best excavator technology, Huaxia Shandong is looking for Lan Xiang!

The most famous one is the sketch "Show Good" series with Zhao Bensan, but he is also a person who has won many actor awards, and he is also an international actor, so his acting skills are naturally not mentioned.

On the second day, when the shooting of the big bombing scene started, Li Yinqiao faced the great man who refused to retreat, and forced him to be carried away on a stretcher.

"Brother Qiang, let's go, it's very dangerous here now." Chen Hao said nervously.

"No, I can't go, I want to stay here and face it with everyone." Tang Guoqiang waved his hand and refused directly.

"Come on, listen to me, take him away on a stretcher, hurry up." Chen Hao directly called the guards to carry him.

"Card!" Han Sanpin shouted.

"Chen Hao, your expression just now was a bit exaggerated. Although it is a dangerous moment, as the head of the guard, you still need to be calm and calm. Your expression just now was too exaggerated, understand?" Han Sanye said.

"Okay, director, I understand." Chen Hao immediately replied after hearing the words.

"Director Chen, your acting is actually okay, but you are a little nervous. You must not be psychologically burdened. The more you want to perform well, the result may be worse. You must first relax, and then follow the director's request. Just do it right." Tang Guoqiang came over and said.

"Thank you Teacher Tang, I will remember." Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

Thinking of Han Sanpin's request and Tang Guoqiang's words, Chen Hao took a deep breath to relax himself, in order to use moderate force and not become the leader of Ma.

Afterwards, it was NGed twice, and it finally passed the heaviest scene of Chen Hao, and the subsequent scenes were relatively easy, mainly because there were no scenes with too strong or deep emotions, so it was relatively simple for Chen Hao.

Soon, 2 days passed by, and Chen Hao's Li Yinqiao left directly after finishing filming, and rushed back to the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow".

As soon as Chen Hao returned to the set, he received a call from Li Mingqiao.

"Brother, the bank loan issue is settled." Li Mingqiao smiled.

"Then thank you Brother Li. When I finish my work, let's get together and I will definitely toast you." Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait for you." Li Mingqiao said, "The total loan amount is 3 million yuan, the annual interest rate is 2%, and the term is still 10 years, which means that starting this year, you will have to repay the bank 3600 million yuan every year. Renminbi!"

"I see, I still have to thank Brother Li." Chen Hao said.

"You're welcome with me!" Li Mingqiao said.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao was about to put away the phone, but the phone rang again, and it was Yu Dong's call.

"Brother Dong!" Chen Hao said.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I brought you bad news this time." Yu Dong said awkwardly.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard the words. Could it be that something went wrong with the acquisition of Poly's theater chain?
"Bad news?" Chen Hao asked.

"Yes, I'm busy now with Poly, and I also tentatively asked about Poly Wanhe, a theater chain under Poly, but the results were a bit off.

The Poly Group really wanted to dispose of its Poly Culture, but it insisted on Polywan and Cinemas. " Yu Dong said helplessly.

Six years ago, Poly Culture and Imperial Capital Huayi merged to form Poly Huayi Media, which became the largest merger and acquisition case in the cultural industry at that time.

Poly Huayi Media has the most professional and largest business structure in the mainland, namely two content platforms (film and television production, advertising production) and one broadcasting platform (travel satellite TV).

Through the effective integration of resources, a super entertainment group with a business system involving channel operation, film production, TV drama production, professional film and television distribution, advertising operation, and performing arts brokerage services has finally been formed.

Poly Huayi Media has nine major companies, Travel Satellite TV (Nanhai Province), Dongfang Shenlong, Poly Bernard, Yingshi Film and Television, Xinbaoyuan, Huayi Alliance, Shanheshui Advertising, Huayi Xingyuan and Huayi Qiansi advertise.

In the past 6 years, the development of Poly Culture Group has not been very smooth, and now Poly Berner, who has the most gratifying performance, is facing a split, which is even worse.

Therefore, Poly also intends to sell its subsidiary Poly Culture Group. After all, without Berner, Poly Culture will probably lose more money and its value will continue to depreciate.

Therefore, Yu Dongcai said that he was willing to help Chen Hao match up and win the Poly Wanhe Cinemas under Poly Culture.

I just didn’t expect that Poly was willing to sell 50% of the equity in Poly Huayi, which is the Poly Culture Group originally owned by Poly. Its subsidiaries include Dongfang Shenlong Film Company, Xinbaoyuan 15% shares, British film 20% shares, Qiansi Advertising Company.

However, they are unwilling to let go of Travel Satellite TV and Polywanhe Cinemas. It seems that they have decided to abandon the film and television industry and completely switch to the construction of terminal cinemas.

This may also be related to the rapid development and popularity of the mainland film market. The growth rate of theaters and screens in the mainland has become the world's first, which shows that this is a delicious cake that is getting bigger and bigger.

More importantly, there is the gem of Wanda in front.

Wanda’s involvement in the entertainment industry was a strategy proposed by Pharaoh at the beginning, not only because the entertainment industry is a sunrise industry, but also because pan-entertainment industries such as theaters and games can be its core business, and Wanda Real Estate can bring traffic to its core business. industry!
Therefore, even if the major managements objected 4 years ago, because the annual box office in the Mainland was only one billion yuan at that time, the investment in building a luxury theater was as high as 2000 million yuan, and the cost could not be recovered at all.

For this reason, Lao Wang chose a compromise method, and established a joint venture with Warner Bros. who wanted to enter the mainland, but there was still an agreement. After a few years, Warner Bros. would acquire Wanda’s shares in the theater.

It’s just that the country’s decree that foreign capital cannot hold more than 49% of the shares directly caused Warner Bros. to withdraw from the mainland theater market. At this time, Wanda has no choice but to take over the theater under construction.

As a result, the mainland film market just happened to develop, and I found that this is indeed a good project, so I tried my best to do it.

Relying on the convenience brought by the real estate of the old bank, Wanda Cinemas has developed extremely rapidly, achieving a triple jump in four years.

In 2006, Wanda Cinemas ranked sixth among all cinemas in terms of annual box office.

In 2007, Wanda Cinemas ranked sixth among all cinemas in terms of annual box office.

In 2008, the annual box office ranking of Wanda Cinemas directly rose to No. 3 among all cinemas, second only to Xingmei and Cosmic Haotian, and the gap between the three was very small, only about 1000 million.

SMI ranked first with 5.28 million yuan, Cosmopolitan Haotian ranked second with 5.19 million yuan, and Wanda Cinemas' annual box office was 5.08 million yuan!

As of the end of December 2008, the number of screens in Wanda Cinemas had reached 12, second only to SMI's 318 and Cosmopolitan's 441.

The key is that Wanda Cinemas are basically self-built, "unified brand, unified management, and unified operation", and backed by a powerful group, the brand benefits are good, and it has become the most potential and most dynamic theater chain in China.

In this regard, neither Xingmei nor Sihai Haotian can compare to Wanda!

Moreover, the terrifying Wanda speed of "1 screens a year" makes it possible for Wanda to surpass Xingmei and Universal Haotian in 100 and become the largest theater chain in the mainland.

2009年旺达计划开新影院11家，增加银幕100张，2010年计划开新影院18家，新增加银幕150张。

This is still under the circumstances that Wanda insists on self-construction and seldom absorbs franchised theaters.If the admission of franchise theaters is relaxed, Wanda is likely to become the largest mainland theater chain in an instant.

Backed by Wanda Real Estate's Wanda Cinemas, the development potential is indeed terrifying.

Similar to it is Poly Wanhe Cinemas, behind which Poly is also a real estate giant, although the investment in cinemas is not as strong as Wanda.

But with the example of Wanda, the development potential of Polywan and cinemas should not be underestimated.

Perhaps it also saw the amazing development speed and potential of Wanda Cinemas, so Poly Group did not want to sell Poly Wanhe Cinemas.

And Chen Hao who heard the news was even more helpless.

Originally, Poly Wanhe Cinemas was the main meal in Chen Hao’s plan. Therefore, Sihai Haotian Cinemas has not expanded externally for 2 years.

In Chen Hao's plan, as long as Polywan and this middle-ranked theater chain are acquired, Sihai Haotian will become the largest theater chain in the country.

In addition, Sihai Haotian Cinemas has upgraded its 3D projection equipment, surpassing SMI to become the highest-grossing cinema in the country is a piece of cake.

I just didn't expect that Poly Group didn't want to sell Poly Wanhe!

　Thanks to "Qinglian Earth" for the 1500 rewards and "Du Tianzi" for the 100 rewards!
