Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 846

"By the way, how is the box office of "Inception"?" Chen Hao asked.

"Last week, the North American weekend box office of "Inception" was US$510 million, ranking seventh on the list, and the cumulative box office in North America reached US$7 million, temporarily ranking fifth in the North American box office list in 2.7.

Second only to "Toy Story 3", "Alice in Wonderland", "Iron Man 2" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon". ’ Smart replied.

"What about the global box office?" Chen Hao nodded and asked.

"There is no specific statistics on the global box office information of last week, but it is roughly estimated that it should have exceeded 7 million U.S. dollars!

这样，《盗梦空间》的全球票房就反超了《钢铁侠2》和《暮光之城3：新月》，仅次于11亿美元的《玩具总动员3》和10亿美元的《爱丽丝梦游仙境》。”斯玛特回道。

Chen Hao nodded with a smile when he heard the words, "Inception" not only rose to the third place in the global box office rankings this year, but also broke "Kung Fu Panda"'s 6.31 million US dollars to maintain the global box office champion of Chinese movies!

It is undoubtedly another milestone for Chen Hao to become the global box office champion of Chinese-language films!

Let the title of the world's number one Chinese-speaking business guide become more worthy of the name!

When the news gets back to China, I believe there will be another upsurge of touting Chen Hao, which should also greatly help the box office of "Inception".

"The heroine of "The Hunger Games", let her come to me for an audition." After Chen Hao finished speaking, he circled the list in his hand and handed it to Smart.

Smart frowned when he heard this, and looked at the circled name again, a little surprised.

Needless to say, this must have been predetermined by Chen Hao, but how did she hook up with Chen Hao?
Smart, who really couldn't figure it out, didn't care anymore, and just did it.

Afterwards, Chen Hao looked at the documents on the table and saw "Dancing Out of My Life 8D", which was released on August 6.

"Dancing Out of My Life 3D" was shown on 2435 screens in 3000 theaters. Although the score of 1550 million may not look bad, it is not.

According to preliminary estimates, about 70% of the opening box office revenue comes from high-priced 3D movie tickets, so in fact, in terms of passenger flow, the third part is already inferior to the first two in the series.

而即便搭上了眼下最为火爆的3D顺风车，《舞出我人生 3D》也未能扭转《舞出我人生1》2066万、《舞出我人生2》1890万接连下滑的颓势。

In view of the fact that the first part was closed at 6532 million US dollars and the second part was stuck at 5801 million, even if hip-hop dances become more cool, the protagonists become more handsome, and 3D glasses are worn more frequently, 5000 million may be the final bottom line.

The "Dancing Out of My Life" series was originally created by Chen Hao to praise Xiaohu, but now the box office performance of the third part of the series has been declining.

In addition, the next focus of Tianchi Pictures will be the Marvel superhero movie universe, and the annual investment cost will be astronomical.

The box office performance of "Dancing Out of My Life" is not satisfactory. The filming cost has exceeded 3000 million, and the copyright has been sold to Disney for half of the film. It is time to give up.

"Smart, how about selling the copyright of the other half of "Dancing Out of My Life" to Disney, what do you think?" Chen Hao asked.

Smart frowned slightly when he heard the words, nodded after thinking about it, "I think it's okay, the value of this series is just that, except for Disney's new princesses, it's not of much value to us. "

"Then sell it to Disney!" Chen Hao said.

Smart nodded after listening, "Speaking of Disney, they made an offer to us again!"

"Oh? Really?" Chen Hao was noncommittal when he heard the words, "How much is the offer this time?"

"$40 billion!" Smart replied, "This time their goal is to buy only Marvel Entertainment."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. This is not too bad. The same offer before to acquire Liangtianchi Films is simply a dream, "Just reject it."

Smart nodded when he heard the words, "In addition, in addition to Disney, Sony Columbia has also quoted to Marvel Entertainment, but the price is much lower, only 32 billion US dollars."

Chen Hao frowned after hearing this. In his previous life, only Disney had made an offer to Marvel Entertainment, but that was in 2008.

At that time, Marvel Entertainment had only one "Iron Man" that was as successful as a gamble, and it didn't actually make much money.

Therefore, when the president of Disney quoted Marvel, he was ridiculed by the industry and Wall Street.

At that time, Sony Columbia looked down on the acquisition, so they certainly would not make an offer.

But now it is 2010, and both "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" have achieved success. Although they didn't make much money, it at least proved that the Marvel superhero movie universe proposed by Chen Hao has the possibility of success.

Although this is a long and complicated process, at least it gives everyone hope.

At the same time, Chen Hao wondered if Davis was involved.

Davis now has a kind of blind trust in Chen Hao, although when the Marvel superhero movie universe was first proposed, he also thought it was a fantasy.

But as Chen Hao continued to succeed and create miracles, Davis, who was already very optimistic about Chen Hao, admired Chen Hao even more.

Therefore, Chen Hao's Marvel Universe plan is also starting to look good.

Speaking of it, Disney's acquisition of Marvel in the previous life should be a mutual fulfillment, after all, there is no Disney's huge funds and distribution channels all over the world.

It's hellish for a Marvel superhero movie to hit the global box office.

The most likely scenario is that a movie loses money, then Marvel goes bankrupt, and the Marvel superhero movie universe dies.

In terms of financial strength and global distribution capabilities, there is undoubtedly a considerable gap between the current scale and the Hollywood Six.

"Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" wouldn't be able to achieve their global box office success without the help of Sony Columbia's distribution channel.

Therefore, it is very dangerous to engage in the Tianchi Films of the Marvel Universe now. As long as others strangle your global distribution, you may go bankrupt in an instant.

The current distribution capacity of Tianchi Films is limited to about 2300 in North America.

Asia is much better. In the mainland, there are Sihaihaotian cinema chains, as well as well-connected alliances such as Huaying and Bernard.

As for outside the mainland, Chen Hao and Jiang Zhiqiang have always maintained a good cooperative relationship, so the Asian release is not a problem.

However, Europe, West Asia, South America and other regions are basically equivalent to no, and they still have to rely on Sony Colombia.

And it is not so easy to establish a global distribution channel within a few years.

In Chen Hao's view, the financial problem and box office fiasco are not big problems, but the global distribution channels cannot be solved in a short time.

If the Hollywood giants really join forces, they can easily block Liang Tianchi Films, just like DreamWorks, which was flourishing before.

"It's better to refuse directly." Chen Hao said decisively.

The current Marvel Entertainment has not maximized its value, and it is not the right time to sell it or not.

In fact, Chen Hao also has his own solution to the channel problem, but it takes time.

I'm afraid that Hollywood giants won't give Chen Hao too much preparation time.

Shaking his head, Chen Hao stopped thinking about it, but lowered his head and dealt with the accumulated company affairs.

It lasted until very late, before Chen Hao left the company and returned to the Beverly Hills villa.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Hao sat directly on the sofa and rubbed his forehead.

Seeing this, Sister Shi was a little puzzled. She had been with Chen Hao for more than a year. In the past, Chen Hao was always energetic, full of confidence, attracting attention and envied by everyone, and he was rarely seen worried.

So, Sister Shi went over and pressed Chen Hao's forehead, and asked softly, "What's the matter? But I rarely see you frowning."

Chen Hao felt the slightly cool jade fingers on his temples, he was taken aback for a moment and then smiled, this is a rare initiative for Shi Jie to care about himself, so he leaned on the sofa and enjoyed Shi Jie's slender jade fingers.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of work." Chen Hao said casually.

"What can I do at work?" Sister Shi asked.

She is Chen Hao's secretary, she knows all about Chen Hao's work, but the company hasn't encountered any problems recently!

"It's Quantianchi Pictures." Chen Hao squinted his eyes and said, "I'm worried that the company will develop faster and faster, and it will be targeted by the six giants of Hollywood."

"Really?" Sister Shi was taken aback when she heard this.

She didn't know it before, but after becoming Chen Hao's secretary, she still knew the influence of the six Hollywood giants in Hollywood.

Not to mention the six giants, even one giant is enough to keep Tianchi Pictures busy.

"Yes, facing the six giants, can I not worry?" Chen Hao looked at the surprise and worry on Sister Shi's pretty face, and said deliberately.

"Then what should we do?" Shi Jie said anxiously, "There is no need to conflict with them."

"It's not that I trouble them, but that they won't let me go." Chen Hao continued to put on a show.

"Then what should we do?" Sister Shi said.

"Actually, it's not impossible." Chen Hao pretended to be mysterious.

"What way?" Sister Shi said happily upon hearing this.

"That is to eat you." Chen Hao laughed.

Sister Shi blinked Kazilan's big eyes when she heard the words, then got up angrily and wanted to leave.

However, Chen Hao, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, directly hugged him and turned around, then pressed him on the sofa, and then kissed the red lips firmly.

Sister Shi still resisted fiercely at first, but found that the more she resisted, the more excited Chen Hao became, so she could only accept her fate, blushing and whispering, "I can only rub, I can't...uh..."

In fact, this kind of scene has happened many times. Although I know that Chen Hao is greedy and lustful, it is really hard to refuse a man like Chen Hao's sweet talk and all kinds of sugar-coated bullets.

Especially the two get along day and night, even longer than Chen Hao's girlfriends. The so-called long-term love, and both sides are so good, it's no wonder they don't attract each other!
Sister Shi can only use her last sliver of clarity every time, so as not to let Chen Hao go overboard by an inch.

It's just that this kind of resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and Sister Shi doesn't know how long she can hold on.

Sometimes, Sister Shi even wanted Chen Hao to just be a beast and ignore her own warnings.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hao is always inferior to a beast, pretending to be Liu Xiahui...

It seems that this bastard is enjoying this process very much, and he is not in a hurry to eat himself, just to appreciate the various embarrassments of himself after making a fool of himself.

……

The next day, Chen Hao stared at Sister Shi's resentful and ashamed eyes, and drove to the hotel where the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: War at Dawn" stayed.

Although Chen Hao didn't really want to shoot this sequel of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the script of 20th Century Fox really didn't impress and interest Chen Hao deeply.

Chen Hao also wants to seize the time to complete the second director contract with 20th Century Fox, and then the two parties will settle the matter.

At the same time, Chen Hao has already authorized Universal to shoot "Teddy Bear 2", which can be regarded as the completion of the director contract with Universal.

After filming "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", Chen Hao will no longer be bound by the director's contract, and can choose films more freely.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" is a sequel. Because of the excellent reputation of the first film, 20th Century Fox also has great expectations for it, so it has been inviting Chen Hao to direct the second film.

Even if I was rejected, I have been waiting, and I am not in a hurry to find other directors to release the second film.

The result really made 20th Century Fox wait.

Compared with the first film, the investment in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" has increased significantly, directly rising from 1 million US dollars to 1.7 million US dollars. It can be seen that 20th Century Fox is optimistic about Chen Hao and the new film.

Of the 1.7 million US dollars, 0.2 million US dollars belonged to Chen Hao's film salary. He directed "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", and Chen Hao's film salary was the highest salary in Hollywood at this time, 2000+20%.

In terms of actors, the members of the first part were retained as much as possible. Andy Serkis' Caesar will definitely not change, and the other main ape roles are all in place.

In order to start filming the second part of the series, all the actors who played the apes also participated in a two-and-a-half-week "ape camp" to train apes again.

But the hero has changed, because the story happened 10 years after "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the ape virus has wiped out 90% of the population, the survivors are struggling to survive in the city, and the apes are growing in the redwood forest.

The current male protagonist is Malcolm. He was an architect before, and his wife died of ape flu. For his son Alexander, he is desperate and hopeful for the future of mankind.

The heroine is still Kate Beckinsale, still herself 10 years later.

Chen Hao's arrangement today is to gather all the members of the crew to read the script.

After a press conference is held 3 days later, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" will officially launch.

"Hi, everyone!" Chen Hao greeted when he came to the meeting room.

"Hello Director Chen!"

"Director Chen!"

……

There are many acquaintances in the crew, and some people who are working together for the first time. After Chen Hao and everyone got to know each other for a while, he took the main seat.

"Today's task is to read around, let everyone get familiar with the script, and then solve some possible problems. Now that everyone is here, let's start!" Chen Hao laughed.
