Chapter 811: You Can't Get Tiger Sons
"Women's group?" Chen Hao opened his eyes and looked at Sun Yizhen who was going up and down.

"That's right!" Sun Yizhen narrowed her eyes, "Didn't you mention before that the company will produce variety shows first, launch girl groups, and then cast film and television dramas?"

This is true, because women’s groups mark the future idols of women’s groups, and variety shows mark the future era of national variety shows. These two points are one of the key points of Haotian’s future development in the mainland.

It is also the main intention of Chen Hao to acquire MSE.

"Have the members been confirmed?" Chen Hao said while supporting Sun Yezhen's buttocks.

Son Yejin panted, "Temporarily, 4 people have been confirmed, Song Qian, Bae Joo Hyun, Zhou Jieqiong and An Hee Yeon. The rest has not been finalized yet, but there is no rush now, after all, there are still 2 years to prepare."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. He had heard of Song Qian and Zhou Jieqiong, but he didn't have much impression of the other two South Korean girl groups.

"What's the name of the group?" Chen Hao asked casually.

"I'm not sure, why don't you give me one?" Sun Yizhen laughed.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this, "Why don't we call it Girls' Generation?"

After hearing this, Sun Yezhen stopped swaying, and looked at Chen Hao with a half-smile and said, "Girls' Generation? They have debuted for 2 years! But it's no wonder, you don't usually care about these things, but Yoona is in Girls' Generation!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao's face turned pale, and he quickly said casually, "Then why don't you call me Rocket Girl?"

These are the only two girl groups that Chen Hao knows.

"Rocket Girl?" Sun Yizhen was taken aback when she heard the words, and then stared at Chen Hao inquiringly, wanting to hear what special meaning this name had.

"Hey, I'm talking nonsense, you can figure it out yourself!" Chen Hao said disapprovingly.

Then he turned over and overwhelmed Son Yejin, leading the snake into the hole!

……

Time flies like a fleeting moment, and soon January 2010 passed by, and now it is February.

At this time, the global film market is still dominated by "Avatar".

"Avatar" has officially completed its six consecutive championships in the North American film market. The cumulative box office in North America reached 6 million US dollars, ranking second in the box office list of North American film history.

And the champion is also Cameron's own "Titanic" with 6 million US dollars.

"Avatar" is only more than $4000 million away from breaking the North American box office record of "Titanic".

In terms of global box office, though, "Avatar" has officially surpassed "Titanic."

At this time, "Avatar" has a global box office of 18.59 billion US dollars, officially surpassing "Titanic" with 18.43 billion US dollars, becoming the new global box office champion!

The top two in the global box office rankings belong to Cameron. It is reasonable to say that he is the "king of the world". I guess not many people will object to it.

Now, although "Avatar" has surpassed "Titanic", it still has its own goal, which is to become the world's first film with a box office of more than 20 billion US dollars!

In the mainland film market, "Avatar" has also won five consecutive championships, and it still won a box office of 5 million yuan in the fifth week of its release.

The cumulative box office of the film has reached 9.91 million yuan, which is only one step away from the 10 billion box office.

And judging from its box office of 1.2 million yuan last week, it is not too easy to break 10 billion.

The mainland's box office expectations for "Avatar" have also changed again and again, and now the final box office has been adjusted to 12 billion yuan!
The industry has already been stunned by shock, and at the same time, they can't help lamenting that "Titanic" has just ended its 10-year rule of the mainland, and finally ushered in "Avatar".

Could it be another 10-year cycle?
Many people immediately thought of Chen Hao, but the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is only 4.51 million yuan!

The box office of "Avatar" seems to be three times that of "Edge of Tomorrow". Even if the investment of "Inception" is as high as 3 million US dollars, it is also a 1.6D movie, and the box office is higher, but I am afraid it cannot make up for this huge gap. Bar!
It can be said that the entire industry was a little breathless after an "Avatar" once again.

Han Sanpin shook his head helplessly, I am afraid that the box office of domestic films this year will not be able to surpass the box office of imported films!
Even if there are Chen Hao's "Inception", Feng Dapao's "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2", as well as Chen Kaige's "Orphan of Zhao" this year, who will offset the box office of other imported films?

I'm afraid no one can take on this important task!
Sorrow!

……

While the mainland was bustling with excitement due to the shocking box office of "Avatar", the crew of "Inception" was still rushing to shoot.

Because Valentine's Day on February 2th is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the crew will rest for 14 days, so we must hurry up.

At this time, the crew of "Inception" had already left Morocco and came to Paris, France.

The scene in Paris, France is mainly Leonardo looking for the Dream Builder of the Inception Team, that is, Tong played by Yaya!
This is a conversation between two people in a roadside cafe, and in order to confirm the dream, the whole street will explode!
The crew needed to use a set of air cannons, create explosions in front of the actors, and use the camera to shoot in slow motion!

The shots were shot on the streets of Paris. It is impossible for the blasting team to create such a powerful explosion as in ordinary action scenes, because such shooting would face various restrictions.

According to the needs of the script, this subconscious explosion cannot produce any real smoke and fire.

Moreover, the relevant departments in Paris require the crew not to make too loud a decibel when filming the explosion, so as not to cause panic, because this is in Europe, and it may be regarded as a terrorist attack.

Because of these constraints, the special effects team had to specially prepare a lot of simulation props with very light materials, ranging from fake fruits to rubber glass, etc., and then used air pressure cannons and high-pressure nitrogen to blow the They shoot out.

Leonardo and Yaya were at the center of the explosion, so they had to go through the most rigorous preparations. The trajectory of the explosives was carefully calculated so that the actors would be safe even if they were in the middle of the explosion. Hurt to finish the scene.

Fortunately, the special effects team has a lot of experience and is strong enough. So far, the shooting has been done very well. Leonardo and Yaya have no fear and finished shooting this group of shots intact.

……

"I didn't expect to finish filming all the scenes in Paris so quickly." Yaya, who was full of happiness and dripping with sweat, half-closed her eyes.

At this time, Yaya was leaning her legs against the wall, and there was a pillow under her buttocks.

According to Yaya, this is what Chen's mother told her, which is good for pregnancy.

"Yeah, 2 days ahead of schedule." Chen Hao kissed Yaya and said, "The next scene will be flying to Canada."

Because of the golden finger, Chen Hao's filming speed is much faster than that of ordinary crews. After all, he knows which shots can be cut in the end.

This avoids the time for the director to think about the layout and structure of the shots, and also avoids shooting a lot of discarded shots, which definitely saves time and effort.

It can also save a lot of time in post-editing, which is why Chen Hao can shoot two movies a year.

"These 2 days are not enough to fly to Canada to shoot again!" Yaya said.

"That's right, so the crew will disband tomorrow." Chen Hao said, "What do you want to do in these two days? Do you want to spend two days in Paris?"

Yaya was a little moved when she heard the words. She and Chen Hao were busy filming all year round, so they rarely spent time together. Now it is rare to have 2 days, which is really rare.

But then Yaya shook her head again, "I want to stay in the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year this year, so I have to go back to the frontier to spend two days with my parents, otherwise I won't have time."

Chen Hao said happily when he heard the words, "Okay, then we will go back tomorrow, and I will wait for you in the imperial capital."

"Yeah!" Yaya nodded with a smile.

Chen Hao then laughed and said, "Okay, enough rest, let's start the second half!"

"No, I can't do it!" Yaya begged for mercy.

"Hey hey...how can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den!"

……

On February 2010, 2, the crew of "Inception" was temporarily disbanded, and all Chinese people in the crew were going home for the New Year.

After returning to the imperial capital, Yaya didn't stay, and went back to the frontier to accompany her parents, while Chen Hao went to the company.

After coming to the company, Chen Hao had no choice but to start dealing with the company's accumulated business affairs.

That is, the day before, Qidian announced another big move, the acquisition of Xiaoshuo Reading.com.

Founded in May 2004, the website is one of the largest original novel websites in China. The content of the website is mainly women's literature, ancient and modern romance and youth campus literature, and has a relatively large campus user base.

According to the content, it is divided into two sub-sites, "girls version" and "boys version".

At present, there are 1500 million registered users, 30 resident authors, the highest daily visits to the website are about 6000 million, and the number of daily online users is about 200 million.

The purpose of this acquisition is to carry out vertical cooperation and improve the industrial chain, and it is also to further consolidate Qidian's dominance in the Internet literature industry!

Chen Hao has always held a positive attitude towards the expansion of Qidian. The more websites he acquires, the more IPs he hoards, which will be a huge cornucopia in the future.

So Chen Hao not only agreed, but also strongly supported it, even if he asked him to pay for it.

However, since Qidian implemented the VIP charging system, the development of online literature has become more and more rapid. Qidian has already achieved profitability and no longer needs Chen Hao's blood transfusion.

However, as the cake of online articles grows bigger and bigger, more and more capital is also coveted.

The three major portals also have their own literature channels, Tongxun has also set its sights on online literature, and even Taobao has quietly internally tested the literature channel, and is also preparing to test the waters in the field of online literature.

Taobao Literature has cooperated with many professional literature websites and adopts the index mode for development, that is, users who visit Taobao literature works will be directly guided to the partners' pages for reading.

It can be said that online literature is like a sunrise industry in the Internet, which has attracted the attention of many giants, and they all want to get involved.

Fortunately, Qidian's position has already been stabilized, so it cannot be shaken in a short time, otherwise it would be a little frightening to face a pack of wolves.

"Chen Dong, everyone has arrived in the conference room, you can go there." Sister Shi pushed the door open and came in.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll come right away."

In order to seize all the time to shoot "Inception", the company's annual meeting was originally scheduled for the morning of February 2, but now that the shooting has ended ahead of schedule, Chen Hao set the time for the afternoon.

In this way, everyone can still catch up with the dinner at the end of the year, and after the annual meeting, those who are not in the imperial capital for the New Year can also have plenty of time to go home.

When Chen Hao walked into the meeting room, everyone stood up, and Chen Hao hurriedly lowered his hands, "Okay, you're welcome, everyone sit down!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, but they didn't take their seats until Chen Hao sat down.

"Time flies so fast, another year has passed." Chen Hao looked at the conference room, which was full, and said with emotion.

"Time is very simple for Director Chen. After one film is finished, half a year has passed, and two films have been shot, and one year has passed." Hao Yi laughed.

"Hahaha……"

"It really is……"

"Boss Hao is brilliant!"

……

"I know Mr. Hao just wants to say that I'm a quick shooter!" Chen Hao also laughed after hearing this, "Okay, let's wait until tonight for reminiscing about the old days, and do the business first. The old rules, Mr. Zhuang, it's still you Please first!"

Zhuang Liqi heard and said, "Then I'll be the first to throw bricks and attract jade. In 2009, Haotian Film and Television invested in the production of 3 TV series, namely "Du Lala's Promotion", "Sword III" and "Love Story of the Imperial Capital". ".
