Chapter 785 Gal Gadot and Megan Fox (Add more updates for the helm master "sztd")
After learning that Chen Hao came to Liangtianchi Films, Smart came to find him.

"Hi, Smart." Chen Hao greeted.

"Hey, Chen, I need you to take a look at these." Smart handed a document to Chen Hao.

After Chen Hao took it, he looked at it, "How is the company doing recently?"

"Everything is going well, the company is now promoting "Saw 6." Smart replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "How is the company's film performance in the first half of the year?"

"It's all in the file. The box office of "Fast and Furious 4" exceeded expectations." Smart laughed. "However, the box office of "Beast Meal 3" is not ideal, and this series should end."

After hearing this, Chen Hao found the box office data of "Beast Meal 3", invested 1500 million US dollars, and the final box office was exactly 1500 million US dollars, only a loss of 600 million US dollars at the box office.

If the publicity fee is added, it will be at least 800 million US dollars.

However, this type of typical cult film, which is more popular with certain fans in the videotape and DVD rental market, should be able to make money from it.

However, considering that Liang Tianchi Pictures' distribution ability in this area is still relatively weak, it is reasonable to end this series.

"By the way, how is the performance of the "Dancing Out of My Life" series?" Chen Hao asked.

Smart raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "If you only look at the return on investment ratio, the first two films are not bad, and the third film has not yet been released, so we don't know the result yet."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "If the third part performs well, then continue to cooperate with Disney. If the performance is not good, then sell the copyright to Disney directly!"

This year, Liang Tianchi Pictures invested 2 million US dollars to shoot "Iron Man 2", and next year plans to launch two other Marvel superhero series films "Thor" and "Captain America".

For this kind of superhero special effects blockbuster, an investment of hundreds of millions is the minimum.

Coupled with the good reputation and box office of "Fast and Furious 4", "Fast and Furious 5" is obviously also on the agenda.

Therefore, for these three films alone, Liangtianchi Pictures will invest approximately US$2010 million in 4.

This is not a small risk for a Hollywood giant, let alone an independent film company like Liang Tianchi Films.

What's more, Marvel Entertainment is still burdened with huge debts. If the net profit of Tianchi Pictures in 2009 is not enough, then Chen Hao will have to pay out of his own pocket, or borrow from the bank again!
Therefore, Chen Hao is ready to reduce the investment in low-budget films.

Especially for series like "Beast Meal", there is no profit at the box office, and they can only rely on video tapes and DVD rentals to recoup their costs. This kind of profit speed is too slow for Liangtianchi Pictures.

Chen Hao wants to shoot as many Marvel superhero movies as possible before the Hollywood giants encircle Tianchi Films.

So Chen Hao couldn't afford to wait.

"Then let's wait until the box office of "Dancing Out of My Life 3" comes out!" Smart nodded upon hearing this.

Originally Smart's business philosophy has always been based on low-cost R-rated films, but with the films shot by Chen Hao, they continue to achieve super high box office.

And seeing that Chen Hao seems to really want to shape the Marvel superhero movie universe, even Smart, who has always been cautious, has no choice but to be tempted by this huge IP.

After all, it may be a super IP worth hundreds of billions of dollars, no one can not help but burst into blood!
After Chen Hao read the data of "Beast Meal 3", he found the box office statistics of "Fast and Furious 4".

"Fast and Furious 8500", with a total investment of 4 million US dollars, has been painted all over the world.

In North America, "Fast and Furious 4" achieved a box office of 1.67 million US dollars, which set a new record for the series' highest box office in North America!
At the same time, this result makes "Fast and Furious 4" temporarily ranked 9th in the North American annual box office list!
In terms of global box office, "Fast and Furious 4" has received a total of 3.6 million US dollars at the box office, which also broke the world's highest box office record for the series!
There is no doubt that the "Fast and Furious 4" series is truly revived!
And next year, the launch of "Fast and Furious 5" is also imperative!

接下来10月底的万圣节，量天尺影业还会推出今年的第2部电影《电锯惊魂6》，11月20日将推出第一部票房大爆的《暮光之城》的系列第2部。

As for "Iron Man 2" and "Dancing Out of My Life 3", they will be released in 2010.

Chen Hao has been busy all day at Liangtianchi Films, and he returned to the villa at night after dealing with all the affairs.

"Xiaoying? Zilin?" Chen Hao shouted after entering the villa.

As a result, no one answered, Chen Hao walked directly to the kitchen, and after finding that there was dinner on the table, he washed his hands and ate directly.

After wolfing down for a while, Chen Hao walked towards the bedroom.

While passing by a bathroom, Chen Hao heard the sound of a shower coming from the bathroom.

Smiling, Chen Hao pushed the bathroom door, only to find that it was locked, which made Chen Hao sigh helplessly.

"What? Want to take a mandarin duck bath?" Xiaoying's teasing voice came from behind.

Chen Hao turned around and smiled, "I'm just tired all day and just want to take a bath."

"Hmph, there are 5 bathrooms in this villa, do you have to go into this one?" Xiaoying gave Chen Hao an angry look.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I just found one at random." Chen Hao laughed.

While speaking, Chen Hao walked towards Xiaoying.

Xiaoying immediately turned around and left back to the bedroom to close the door, but the long-legged Chen Hao directly blocked the door that was about to close.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to sleep!" Xiaoying glared at Chen Hao and said.

Chen Hao said with a smile, "The night is long, let me accompany you!"

"No need!" Xiaoying snorted.

Chen Hao pushed Xiaoying behind the door with a little effort, and then slammed the door shut.

"Ah... um..." Xiaoying's shouting stopped abruptly.

On the other side, Sister Shi, who had finished taking a shower, pushed open the bathroom door to look, and found that Chen Hao hadn't come back, so she trotted back to the bedroom immediately.

Because it's the first time here, Sister Shi asked Xiaoying to sleep next door, and the bedrooms of the two are next to each other, so I can feel more at ease.

Sister Shi was sitting in front of the dressing table, and when she was applying the mask, she suddenly heard a strange sound, so she stood up and looked for the source of the sound.

After pricking up her ears and listening quietly, Sister Shi found that the sound seemed to come from the wall behind the big bed.

So, Sister Shi curiously put her ear against the wall and listened.

"...with no feet..."

"No, this pose is too embarrassing..."

"No more..."

"Go to the next door..."

……

Sister Shi immediately recognized the voices of Xiaoying and Chen Hao.

It's just that at this time Xiaoying's voice was indescribably alluring, Sister Shi blushed when she heard it, and even her two sky-defying long legs were a little limp.

Seemingly taken aback, Sister Shi immediately got into bed and covered her head.

Sister Shi tried her best not to think about the voice she heard just now, but the more she didn't want to think about it, the more the voice just filled her brain like a magic sound, constantly echoing in her mind.

And as the voice lingered in her mind, Sister Shi couldn't help imagining the picture, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't help scolding Chen Hao for being an asshole.

Sister Shi wanted to force herself to sleep, but from time to time there was a vague sound from the next door, making it impossible for Sister Shi to fall asleep at ease!
Just like that, I don't know how long it took before Sister Shi fell asleep in a daze.

……

Early the next morning, the radiant Xiaoying just opened the bedroom door, just in time to meet Sister Shi who also came out.

Seeing Sister Shi's expression, Xiaoying was taken aback for a moment, and then asked concerned, "What's the matter? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Sister Shi thought to herself when she heard the words, because you didn't know why, you yelled so loudly, so ecstasy, it's no wonder I can sleep well.

However, Sister Shi said, "Well, maybe it's because the jet lag hasn't reversed yet!"

Xiaoying nodded when she heard the words, "That's it, then you can take a rest later. When Director Chen is filming, our task will be much easier."

"Okay!" Sister Shi could only nod in agreement.

"It's time to go downstairs for dinner!" Chen Hao shouted.

Immediately, Sister Shi and Xiaoying went downstairs and saw that Chen Hao was already reading a newspaper on the table.

Chen Hao looked up at the two of them, blinked at Sister Shi and said, "What's wrong, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Sister Shi wanted to complain when she heard the words, but she could only say again, "Jet difference problem."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Eat quickly, we're leaving after eating!"

Sister Shi and Xiaoying sat down to eat after hearing this.

Chen Hao looked at the newspaper, which had the box office data of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

The first collaboration between Chen Hao and 20th Century Fox has been released for 5 weeks.

At this time, the cumulative North American box office of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has reached 1.76 million U.S. dollars, and it currently ranks eighth on the North American annual box office list.

Last week, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" had a weekend box office of 780 million U.S. dollars. According to this box office trend, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is very hopeful to hit 2 million U.S. dollars.

As a restart of a classic series, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has a good reputation, and the box office is expected to hit 2 million.

20th Century Fox is also ecstatic. In any case, even if the schedule is delayed, they will make "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" exceed 2 million.

That's a positive for the franchise and the box office for the next film.

This is also good, Chen Hao can guarantee that the North American box office of many English-language films will break through the record of US$2 million in a row!

After breakfast, Chen Hao took the two girls to the hotel where the crew went down the tower to meet with the main creator of the crew.

"Chen, I finally waited for you." Adam Ferguson said.

"Long time no see!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you!" Adam Ferguson said.

After Chen Hao walked into the room, everyone stood up.

"Hello, Director Chen!" Mark Wahlberg smiled, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Me too!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Hi, see you again!" Kate Beckinsale laughed.

Chen Hao smiled and had a face-to-face kiss with Kate.

In addition, Chen Hao also saw two actors he handpicked, Gal Gadot and Megan Fox.

Megan Fox was looking at Chen Hao winkingly.

The two had had in-depth exchanges before, and Chen Hao arranged for her to star in "Fast and Furious 4". Although it was only a supporting role, Megan Fox also became famous as the film became a hit.

As for Gal Gadot, Chen Hao mentioned it by the way, because the role of Megan Fox in "Fast and Furious 4" originally belonged to Gal Gadot.

Coupled with the impression of Wonder Woman in the previous life, Universal asked Gal Gadot.

At this time, Gal Gadot also looked at Chen Hao curiously. She couldn't figure out why Chen Hao would appoint her to star in his new film.

Because Gal Gadot has just come to Hollywood to develop, and he is absolutely sure that he does not know Chen Hao, so it feels unbelievable to be able to participate in a new film by such a big director as Chen Hao.

He even wondered for a while whether he had met a scammer, but fortunately he had come, otherwise he would really have missed the opportunity to cooperate with Chen Hao.

Facing Gal Gadot's curious eyes and Megan Fox's winking eyes, Chen Hao just smiled, and then took the main seat.

"The main reason for inviting you today is to come to read it. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance and see if there are any adjustments in the script." Chen Hao said.

Chen Hao made a preliminary acquaintance with everyone, and then began to read around.

Chen Hao and Universal's new film is called "Teddy Bear", an R-rated comedy film.

The film mainly tells that more than 20 years ago, a pure and kind boy John (played by Mark Wahlberg), because he was afraid of being alone without friends, made a wish that his precious teddy bear could come back to life, Be his true friend.

What John didn't expect was that some mysterious power made his wish come true. John lived with the teddy bear and spent a happy childhood.

Until, more than 20 years later, John became a young man with nothing to do, and the joy finally turned into trouble.

John, who has passed his thirties, is still single, smoking, drinking and having fun with teddy bears every day, living a life of drunken dreams.

It wasn't until John met Laurie (Kate Beckinsale), the girl he fell in love with at first sight, that he was determined to change himself.

However, at this time, the contradictions between partners and lovers gradually emerged, and the two different lifestyles made it difficult for John to choose.

In the end, after going through many twists and turns, John finally found a delicate balance between women and friendship.

This R-rated comedy obviously subverts everyone's perception of teddy bears. It is no longer a simple and cute teddy bear, but a hooligan who eats, drinks, whores, gambles and smokes all kinds of drugs.

Wonderful chemistry develops between a foul-mouthed, childhood-ruining teddy bear and an older nerd.

Chen Hao originally wanted to restart Universal's "Jurassic Park" series, but Universal disagreed, and Chen Hao didn't like other movie scripts, so he thought of this R-rated comedy produced by Universal.

Although teddy bears also need special effects, compared to Chen Hao's previous blockbuster special effects films, they are undoubtedly insignificant, and comedy films are much easier to shoot.

In addition, Chen Hao has filmed the phenomenal R-rated comedy "The Hangover" before, and now shooting "Teddy" is simply relaxed and enjoyable!
