Chapter 992 Miracles
""Gravity" won four awards and became the biggest winner of the Golden Horse Awards last night!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Chen Hao defeated Du Qifeng and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director for the first time!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"After Gui Lunmei and Liu Qingyun became emperor, Chen Haocheng won the best director, and "Detective Hunter Zhang" won the best award!" --- 1905 Film Network

……

After the 49th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards came to an end, it became the headlines of the media on the second day.

After Gui Lunmei won the best film award, Chen Hao won the best director, and "Detective Hunter Zhang" won the best picture, which became the focus of heated discussions in the media and the industry.

However, compared to the many controversies of Gui Lunmei and "Detective Hunter Zhang", Chen Hao's winning of the Best Director Award is more convincing.

After all, before the awards ceremony began, Chen Hao was the most likely candidate for the best director predicted by the media and the industry.

And Chen Hao won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, and "Detective Hunter Zhang" won the best film, which made the mainland media and the industry applaud endlessly, because this represents the victory of mainland films.

However, the focus of more media is still on Chen Hao winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Director.

Chen Hao's ability in commercial films is already unrivaled in the mainland, and even in the world, he is among the top few.

The rest is undoubtedly to consider the artistry of the film. One thing for sure is that Chen Hao is definitely a well-deserved master of science fiction films, which can be said to be universal in the world.

Besides, in terms of awards, Chen Hao has won the Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival once, and the Outstanding Director Award at the Huabiao Award once.

2 Saturn Awards for Best Director, 2 Golden Globe Awards and 1 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, 1 Golden Globe Award for Best Musical/Comedy Film.

Then there is the Golden Horse Award for Best Director this time.

Speaking of honors, it seems that there are many, but Chen Hao still has to lag behind the National Teacher. Although the National Teacher has not won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, it is more because of the influence of the situation at that time.

国师现在手握2个金狮和1个金熊，1个戛纳电影节的评委会大奖, 3个金鸡最佳导演，1个华表最佳导演。

The quality of the Lunqi trophy is obviously higher than that of Chen Hao.

Even though Chen Hao has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, in front of the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear, it is obviously not enough.

In terms of awards, Chen Hao is indeed one step closer to the National Teacher, but it is obviously not enough to surpass the National Teacher.

But no matter what, winning the best director of China's most influential Golden Horse Awards is definitely an important moment in Chen Hao's film career.

As for Chen Hao's future, everyone is unanimously optimistic. After all, he is only 32 years old. For the director, he has not even entered the golden age!

……

When the media and the industry were discussing that Chen Hao had won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, Chen Hao spent a few days leisurely and contentedly taking Da Mei Tang on Treasure Island.

During the day, the two were busy traveling in the mountains and rivers, and at night they were busy playing with guns and sticks.

After the fierce battle, Chen Hao looked at Dameitang and asked, "Have you ever thought about having a baby?"

Dameitang was born in 83, and it is 29 years old this year, and it is about to reach its thirties.

Yaya is a few months older than Dameitang, and Duodu is almost 1 year old.

Dameitang paused suddenly when she heard the words, and then retracted into Chen Hao's arms, her jade fingers slid back and forth on Chen Hao's chest, "I'm still a child!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but slapped the beauty's buttocks, "It's almost 30, and I'm still a child!"

"Whether a child is a child or not has nothing to do with age, but with mentality." Da Meitang pursed her red lips and said, "I'm in the ascendant period of my career now, and I can't imagine myself giving birth and taking care of children. It must have been taken care of badly."

Seeing Dameitang's appearance, Chen Hao thought to himself, wouldn't Dameitang be afraid of having a baby?
After hugging Dameitang, Chen Hao sighed helplessly, "It's up to you, anyway, it's normal for artists to get married late, so let's talk about it after you have had enough fun!"

Dameitang immediately nodded and smiled when he heard the words, "You still know me best every day."

After finishing speaking, Da Meitang got on the horse again and rode the horse to gallop again.

……

After playing with Dameitang in Treasure Island for a few days, Dameitang returned to the mainland, and Chen Hao flew back to Los Angeles, USA.

2012 has passed, and the time has come to January 2013, 1 New Year's Day.

Chen Hao returned to the United States to hold the annual meeting, so he went directly to the company, and in the company's office, Smart, Kevin Fitch, Benjamin and Thomas Knight had already arrived.

Thomas Knight is the current president and actual person in charge of MGM Resorts.

"Benjamin, let's talk about the situation of Future 3D last year!" Chen Hao said directly.

Hearing this, Benjamin said, "In 3, the 2012D movie projection system developed by the company sold a total of 1620 sets of projection equipment, a year-on-year increase of 53.11%.

Among them, Mainland China grew rapidly, with a growth rate of more than 105%, and a total of 860 sets were sold. The growth rate in the United States was relatively low, but 310 sets were also sold.

Other Asian and European countries and regions, including island countries, Canada, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain, also sold a total of 450 sets.

Now each set of 3D projection equipment sells for $12, and our profit per set has dropped to $5.2.

That is to say, in 2012, the company's sales of 3D projection equipment was 19440 million US dollars, after deducting taxes, the net profit was 8424 million US dollars!
In addition, the IMAX giant screen developed by the company sold a total of 150 sets worldwide last year, each priced at US$18, and our profit was US$8.1.

In terms of IMAX giant screens, the company's sales in 2012 were 2700 million US dollars, and after deducting taxes, the net profit was 1215 million US dollars.

To sum up, Future 3D’s sales in 2012 were US$22140 million, and after deducting taxes and wages, the net profit was US$9000 million! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Although the global 3D craze has subsided greatly, 3D projection equipment has become the daily configuration of theaters.

Especially in the mainland, where the theater chain is developing rapidly, the involution is fierce, and all major newly built theaters are basically equipped with 3D projection equipment, so they will become the largest customer of 3D in the future.

"Very good." Chen Hao said, "After the 3D projection equipment market stabilizes, the IMAX giant screen will also speed up."

"Don't worry, everything is according to plan." Benjamin said.

"OK, that's good!" Chen Hao said, "Okay, next, Kevin, let's talk about Marvel Entertainment!"

In the middle of last year, Chen Hao sold 40% of the shares of Marvel Entertainment, but he is still the largest controlling shareholder of Marvel Entertainment.

Therefore, apart from independent production, Marvel Entertainment has not changed much. Of course, the source of funds has changed, but the other three are very active in this regard.

Kevin Fitch said, "The majority of Marvel Entertainment's revenue still comes from copyright revenue, and the biggest revenue this year comes from "The Avengers."

However, according to the agreement, the profits of "The Avengers" belong to Liangtianchi Pictures.

Affected by the global box office boom of "The Avengers", the comics and product licensing income of these superheroes involved have seen a relatively large increase.

In 2012, after deducting the income of "Avengers", Marvel's total revenue was 3200 million US dollars.

After deducting expenses such as taxes and wages, Marvel Entertainment's net profit in 2012 was 2740 million US dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, because "The Avengers" was produced before the three major Hollywood giants bought shares, so all the profits within 5 years will belong to Liang Tianchi Films.

At the same time, the same is true for "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2", which have already been filmed.

Kevin Feige continued, "In 2013, Marvel Entertainment was preparing to produce "Captain America 2" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" according to the established plan.

The budgets of the two films are both US$1.7 million, and the total is US$3.4 million. In addition to the company's loan repayment of US$6000 million this year, as well as various expenses such as wages, Marvel Entertainment's 2013 expenditure should be around US$4.03 million. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. In 2012, Marvel Entertainment's net profit was 2740 million US dollars, but in 2013 it had to spend 4.03 million US dollars.

Then Haotian Entertainment North America Group still needs to spend 2.25 million US dollars.

Chen Hao looked at Smart after hearing the words, "It needs to be paid out according to the sky, and it should be transferred to Marvel Entertainment's account in time, so as not to affect the normal shooting of the film."

"I understand, I can call when the meeting is over," Smart replied.

"Okay, then you can talk about it too!" Chen Hao nodded.

"Ahem, then let me talk about the situation of Liangtianchi Films and Haotian Entertainment (development of copyright peripherals)!" Smart said, "In 2012, the company participated in the investment and production of 5 films.

分别是《钢铁侠3》、《宿醉3》、《速度与激情6》、《雷神2》和《饥饿游戏2》！
There are only 3 movies released this year, namely "The Hunger Games", "The Avengers" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn"!
"The Hunger Games", with an investment cost of 7800 million U.S. dollars, finally won a North American box office of 4.08 million U.S. dollars, ranking No. 2012 in the 3 annual box office list in North America!
"The Hunger Games" grossed $2.86 million outside of North America, for a total of $6.94 million worldwide!
The company received a share of US$2.448 million in the North American box office. After deducting taxes, the company actually received US$2.3256 million.

Companies outside of North America received a box office share of $1.287 million. After taxes, the company actually received $1.09395 million.

The company's total box office receipts were US$3.41955 million, excluding investment costs of US$7800 million and publicity expenses of US$3000 million. The company's net profit at the box office was US$2.34 million.

The box office performance and reputation of "The Hunger Games" are very good. The first part of the series reached the third place in the annual box office in North America, which is several times better than "Twilight" in 2008.

Judging from the current performance of "The Hunger Games", I'm afraid that its future box office will be higher than that of the "Twilight Saga" series that just ended!

Without a doubt, we've developed yet another blockbuster movie franchise.

"The Avengers", with an investment cost of 2 million US dollars, finally won a North American box office of 6.23 million US dollars, ranking first in the 2012 annual box office list in North America!

This is also Chen's first North American annual box office champion!
At the same time, the 6.23 million of "Avengers" also ranked third in the box office list of North American film history, second only to "Avatar" and "Titanic".

The overseas box office of the film was US$9.23 million, the highest overseas box office record for this year. The final global box office totaled US$15.55 billion, ranking first in the 2012 global annual box office list!
This is also Chen's first global annual box office champion!
At the same time, the US$15.55 billion of "The Avengers" also ranked third in the global film history box office list, still second only to "Avatar" and "Titanic".

The company received a share of US$3.738 million in the North American box office. After deducting taxes, the company actually received US$3.5511 million.

The company received an overseas box office share of 4.194 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, the company actually received 3.5649 million U.S. dollars.

The company received a total of 7.116 million U.S. dollars in the box office, and after deducting investment costs and publicity expenses of 5000 million U.S. dollars, the company's net box office profit was 4.616 million U.S. dollars.

"The Avengers" is the finale of the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe. Its hot box office and word-of-mouth have proved that Marvel superheroes have been recognized all over the world.

This undoubtedly makes the subsequent second stage more attention, and it is also more worth looking forward to.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", with an investment cost of 4 million US dollars, finally won a North American box office of 1 million US dollars, ranking fifth in the 2.92 North American annual box office list!
The overseas box office of the film was 5.37 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 8.29 million US dollars!
The global box office of US$8.29 million also allowed "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" to successfully surpass "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", refreshing the series' highest global box office.

The company's North American box office share was 1.752 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, the company actually received 1.6644 million U.S. dollars.

The company received $2.4165 million in overseas box office share, and after deducting taxes, the company actually received $2.05 million.

The company received a total of 3.7144 million U.S. dollars at the box office. After deducting investment costs and publicity expenses of 3000 million U.S. dollars, the company’s box office net profit was negative at 2.4144 million U.S. dollars.

Although "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" failed to break the series' North American box office record, it broke the series' global box office record, which can be regarded as a perfect ending for the entire series.

The "Twilight Saga" series has a total of 5 films, with a cumulative box office of 13.53 billion US dollars in North America and a cumulative box office of 32.945 billion US dollars worldwide.

综上所述的话，量天尺影业去年虽然只制作出品了3部影片，但是《复仇者联盟》、《饥饿游戏》和《暮光之城4：破晓》却分列北美2012年年度票房排行榜的第1、3、5位。

而且第4位的《007：大破天幕危机》来自于米高梅，也就是说昊天娱乐北美2012年包办了北美票房前5名中的4席！
This achievement can simply be called a miracle. This is a miracle that has never been accomplished by a film company in Hollywood history! "
