Chapter 769 Best Director

After news of the financing of Haotian Films spread, the management and artists of Haotian Films, who had just bought the original shares, were undoubtedly the happiest.

The financing of 3 million is to value Haotian Films at 30 billion yuan. Chen Hao said before that the company will issue 4000 million shares, with a total of 20000 million shares.

That is to say, the current price of Haotian Films is 15 yuan per share, and it was 3 yuan per share when everyone bought it before. Just a few days later, it has directly increased by 5 times.

Before spending 300 million yuan to buy 100 million shares of Xiaohu, Fan Yaojing and others, the shares in their hands have directly increased to 1500 million yuan!

This is still in the case that the company is not listed. If it is listed, it may rise even higher, and it is really possible to become a multi-millionaire by then!
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and many people were even annoyed that they had bought less than 100 million shares before.

……

When there was an uproar in China over the financing of Haotian Films, Chen Hao had already left Huaxia and flew to the United States.

On June 2009, 6, the 25th Saturn Awards will officially kick off at 35:[-] pm.

"Iron Man" received a total of 8 nominations, and Chen Hao came here on a whim.

"How is the company doing recently?" Chen Hao asked.

"No big deal." Smart laughed, "It's just that "Fast and Furious 4" has been drawn in North America."

"Oh? How about the box office?" Chen Hao asked.

"The North American box office of "Fast & Furious 4" reached 1.67 million US dollars, creating a new high in the series, and the overseas box office also exceeded 1.5 million US dollars. It is estimated that the global box office should reach 3.5 million US dollars, which is also a new high in the series!" Smart laughed.

"Not bad, not bad, and more importantly, the reputation is good. This series can be regarded as a successful restart." Chen Hao laughed when he heard this.

"I have to say, Chen, your vision is really good. At that time, we all thought that this series would sink." Smart praised.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Hao waved his hand.

"The box office and word-of-mouth of "Fast 4" is so good, I plan to start shooting the fifth part of the series next year, and it will be released the year after next." Smart said.

"Yes." Chen Hao nodded, "The investment of "Fast & Furious 5" will be at least over [-] million next year, but there are still two Marvel superhero movies to be filmed next year, right?"

"Yes, "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​have been finalized. Each of these three films is an A-level production, and the cost must exceed [-] million." Smart frowned.

The cost of three films exceeding [-] million is not a small gamble. Although "Iron Man" is a success, no one dares to guarantee what will happen to "Thor" and "Captain America".

At that time, if one loses, it will be a big harm to Liang Tianchi Pictures, and the company will be under great pressure.

"I think it's better to bring in other investors, so that our risk will be reduced a lot." Smart said.

Chen Hao thought for a while after hearing the words, "Let's wait until the end of the year, the company will release "Twilight Saga 2" this year, right?"

Smart smiled and nodded when he heard the words. This is another blockbuster series dug up. I have to say that he really admires Chen Hao's vision.

"Look at the profit situation at the end of the year first, and then consider it if the funds are really insufficient!" Chen Hao said.

Smart shook his head helplessly when he heard the words. He didn't know why Chen Hao had so much confidence in Marvel superhero movies.

Although it turns out that his vision is indeed accurate, Liangtianchi Films is only an independent film company after all, and it cannot stand up to the troubles like the Big Six in Hollywood.

Thinking of superhero movies, Smart hurriedly said, "By the way, Disney and Sony Columbia have always wanted to acquire Marvel Entertainment!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao frowned and said, "They just wanted to buy it, so they didn't take any measures?"

"Take measures?" Smart was taken aback when he heard the words, "No, it's just an acquisition invitation."

"No other actions?" Chen Hao asked.

"No!" Smart nodded.

After hearing this, Chen Hao nodded and said, "Just refuse!"

Smart nodded, he had known this would be the result.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Hao arrived at the venue of the 35th Saturn Awards Ceremony on time.

Walking the red carpet with Chen Hao is "Iron Man" actress Anne Hathaway, who was also nominated for Best Actress.

The two walked on the red carpet, and a pair of handsome men and beautiful women murdered many films.

After entering the venue, Chen Hao looked around and saw that there were many superstars, Spielberg, Nolan, Tom Cruise, David Fincher, Clint Eastwood, South African Diamond, Bradley De Pitt, Angelina Jolie and more.

It seems that the Saturn Awards are quite influential in the United States.

"Hi Chen, long time no see!"

Not long after Chen Hao sat down, Charlize Theron came over and gave him a warm hug.

Chen Hao smiled and said, "It's still so beautiful!"

"Hahaha, Chen, you can really talk." Charlize Theron laughed, "How about it, how many awards are you going to win tonight?"

"Of course the more the better!" Chen Hao said with a smile, but then he glanced at Nolan.

There is no doubt that what Chen Hao wants most is the best director.

"Then I wish you all the best tonight!" South African Diamond said with a smile.

After Chen Hao sat down, he saw Anne Hathaway looking at Charlize Theron with a half-smile, and Chen Hao smiled when he saw this.

"Hey, Chen!" Will Smith came over and hugged Chen Hao's shoulders.

"I remember you didn't nominate it!" Chen Hao joked.

"I'm here to cheer you on." Will Smith winked.

Chen Hao laughed. This guy actually came to support his son Jaden Smith. Jaden Smith starred in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and was nominated for Best Young Actor.

"Seriously, Chen, when will we cooperate again." Will Smith said.

"No problem, I will find you if the role suits me." Chen Hao smiled.

Afterwards, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Julianne Moore all came to say hello, and Chen Hao responded with a smile.

"Good evening, everyone at the scene and in front of the TV. Welcome to the 35th Saturn Awards Ceremony. I am the host..."

The time came to eight o'clock, and with the appearance of the host, the 35th Saturn Awards Ceremony officially began.

However, the first awards in the ceremony were TV awards, which had nothing to do with Chen Hao.

Bored, Chen Hao could only check to see if there were any American dramas he was familiar with, but he found that there were quite a few, such as "Breaking Bad", "Heroes", "Lost", "Supernatural" and so on.

But after watching it for a while, Chen Hao lost interest. The winners are not very familiar with them, and unlike the Golden Globe Awards, there is food to pass the time, and there is a teeth-beating festival.

I don't know how long it took, but finally came to the presentation of the film awards.

For the first award for best special effects, "Iron Man" was nominated, and Haotian special effects were included in the nomination list.

However, Chang Hongsong did not come. If he wins the award, Chen Hao will accept the award on stage as a representative.

However, the competition for this award is too fierce, after all, the nominations are all science fiction and fantasy blockbusters!
"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Special Effects is "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight"!"

"Batman: The Dark Knight" received the most nominations at the Saturn Awards this year.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won the best makeup at the 35th Saturn Awards!"

This award should be said to be without much suspense. Brad Pitt has been acting since he was a child, and his excellent makeup is a big boost to his ability to complete this role.

"Indiana Jones 35: The Crystal Skull won the best costume at the 4th Saturn Awards!"

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Music is "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight"!"

"Iron Man" was also nominated for this award, but lost again to "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight".

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Young Actor is Jaden Smith, The Day the Earth Stood Still!"

After the award was announced, the happiest person was not Jaden Smith, but his father Will Smith.

Speaking of which, Will Smith also took great pains in order to praise his son, and even made a supporting role for his son, filming "Return to Earth", hoping that his son will become a dragon!
Unfortunately, the movie sucks!
"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress is Tilda Swinton, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"!"

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor is Heath Ledger, "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight"!"

This Best Supporting Actor should be said to have no suspense at all!
"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Actress is..."

The award presenters paused for a moment, and Chen Hao immediately felt Anne Hathaway's body froze beside him. Although it wasn't a Golden Globe Oscar, who wouldn't want to win an award since it was here.

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Actress is Angelina Jolie, "Change of Suspects"!"

After the awards were announced, Anne Hathaway's body softened. Although she felt lost, she had to applaud with a smile and send her best wishes.

Seeing this, Chen Hao shook Anne Hathaway's jade hand with a smile and said with a smile, "Go back to comfort you at night!"

Anne Hathaway gave Chen Hao a charming look when she heard the words.

After Angelina Jolie finished her acceptance speech, it was Downey's turn to get nervous again.

Because he was nominated for Best Actor.

From the former bad boy to the current top Hollywood actor, Downey, who turned his prodigal son back and never changed his money, also paid a lot of price.

Now that he has box office and masterpieces, it seems that the only thing left is the recognition of awards.

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Actor is Robert Downey Jr., "Iron Man"!"

When Downey heard his name, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, and Chen Hao also applauded with a smile.

It's not only congratulations to Downey, but also a celebration that "Iron Man" finally got off the hook!

It is expected that this award will be awarded to Downey, after all, the overlap between the roles of Downey and Stark is too high.

Many people think that Downey played in his true colors. Downey made this role, and this role also made Downey.

Downey and Stark are definitely one of the best castings in movie history!

Downey hugged Chen Hao as soon as he stood up. Chen Hao patted Downey with a smile and said, "Congratulations, buddy, you deserve it."

"Thank you, Chen, without you I don't know if I would have made it this far!" Donnie said gratefully.

He really regarded Chen Hao as his benefactor and noble person, as well as his best friend.

Chen Hao smiled after hearing this, "Okay, you haven't forgotten your acceptance speech, have you?"

Downey was delighted when he heard that, "I've already recited it!"

After Downey took the stage, he gave his acceptance speech, mentioned Chen Hao many times, and also showed Chen Hao many times in the live broadcast, and the audience couldn't help but look at Chen Hao.

Obviously everyone knew about the affair between Chen Hao and Downey. If Chen Hao hadn't given Downey so many opportunities, no one knew what would happen to Downey now.

Many Hollywood actors are lamenting Downey's good luck, and secretly annoyed why they didn't meet their own Chen Hao!

"The winners of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Screenplay are Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan for "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight"!"

"Iron Man" was once again defeated by "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight".

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Animated Film is "Wall-E"!"

This award is well deserved. Maybe "Wall-E" is not the best-selling animated film, but it is indeed a super classic animated film!

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best International Film is "Let No One In"!"

"The Best Horror Film of the 35th Saturn Awards is "Flame: The Golden Legion"!"

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Action/Adventure Film is "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight"!"

This is already the fifth award won by "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" tonight, leading all films.

"The Best Fantasy Film of the 35th Saturn Awards is "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"!"

This award is also expected. The commercial nature of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" may not be too strong, but the story and depth of the film are undoubtedly not comparable to other competitors Kobe.

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film is..."

Chen Hao couldn't help puffing out his chest at this time, and sat up straight. This was one of the two nominations he received.

Because it belongs to the science fiction category, the competitors are "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "The Incredible Hulk", "Hawkeye", "Teleporter" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Crystal Skull".

Among these films, only "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4: Crystal Skull" can be compared with "Iron Man" in terms of box office.

But when it comes to media word-of-mouth and praise, "Iron Man" blows up all other films.

To be honest, Chen Hao himself thought that "Iron Man" was good, but it was far from the crazy praise of the American media.

Chen Hao is actually a little puzzled by the hype and praise from film critics and the media, is it really so good?
Perhaps this is a cultural difference?
"The winner of the 35th Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film is "Iron Man"!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao felt excited. This was the first time he won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film.

As a fan of sci-fi films, most of the films I shoot are also sci-fi films. It is undoubtedly a major affirmation to win the Saturn Award, which is known as the Oscar for sci-fi films.

"The Saturn Award has always been my dream award. I like sci-fi films and have shot many sci-fi films, but the Golden Globe Oscar doesn't like sci-fi films, so the Saturn Award is the biggest pursuit.

Thanks to the jury for making my wish come true today! "Chen Hao laughed.

Chen Hao returned to his seat with the ugly Saturn Award trophy. Anne Hathaway took it curiously. Women seem to be interested in the trophy at the award ceremony.

However, Chen Hao has no time to care about him, because there is one last award, which is also the award that Chen Hao wants most tonight.

"The winner of the 35th Saturn Award for Best Director is..."
