Chapter 372 Biopic of Samsung Founder
Zhang Hao won again, he always wins.

After the opening weekend box office results for The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers: Infinity War, the world's media was shocked.

Previously, the media predicted that both films should achieve good results. If the schedules are staggered, both films should achieve higher results.

But now that two films have broken various box office records one after another, everyone is not sure.

In between the release of the two films, the rest of the films were shivering.In the Chinese and American markets, the two films combined took over 90.00% of the market share.

In other countries and regions, the ratio is as low as 90.00% or [-]%, and as many as [-]% or more.

The first weekend in May has also become the weekend with the highest box office in history.

Such a fierce box office battle even made the French media exclaim that it is invincible. The French Minister of Culture once again called on the French people to support French films and preserve French film culture as he did more than ten years ago.

The British media is celebrating. "The Dark Knight Rises" is very popular in the UK, perhaps because Christian Bale is British.

After "The Times" released the first weekend box office, a comic photo published on the front page showed Batman fighting against the heroes of the Avengers alone.

This is true, look at the Avengers heroes, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther...etc., there are dozens of named superheroes. indivual.

Look at "The Dark Knight Rises" again. If you count Catwoman and Robin who is still a police officer, there are only three.

Commissioner Gordon is not even a superhero, or in other words, there is no so-called superhero at all in this surreal film.

Looking at the Marvel heroes flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, and then looking at Batman who can have his legs broken by villains, people's mentality of sympathizing with the weaker party appears.

Of course, that sympathy will turn to disgust if Batman never gets back on his feet.

But who made Batman stand up bravely and challenge Bane bravely to save Gotham City?

Both films are about saving, one saving the entire universe, the other saving a city.

It seems that saving the entire universe is much greater, but in fact, everyone prefers to watch saving a city.

The main reason, as mentioned in The Times, is that Zhang Hao has done a particularly good job of portraying the city's group portraits. The police, city officials, the villain Bane and the thugs, citizens, and Batman each have their own positions.

The film is particularly realistic and can immerse moviegoers into it.

"Avengers 3: Infinity War" did not portray enough in this aspect and seemed a bit false.

After all, humans haven't even solved the problem of the interior of the earth. Every day, they arrange something, a train derails, chemicals are scattered all over the floor, or various biological experiments...

Then everyone quarreled and argued, and then protested, but no actual solution was found.

Everyone treats it with the mentality that others will suffer first anyway. It’s not that they don’t know that this is a major event and disaster that affects all mankind, but they just act as if it has nothing to do with themselves.

Some don't want to take care of it at all, some are doing it themselves, and some are just powerless...

Therefore, if human beings are almost unable to save themselves, who cares about the fate of the universe?
Some radicals even said that we should just let Thanos snap his fingers and forget it. What Thanos said makes sense.Reducing the population by half can also reduce resource consumption and reduce involution.

Of course, this idea is wrong, but it also illustrates the real reason why "The Dark Knight Rises" was able to win in its opening weekend.

Zhang Hao is very busy, and Warner attaches great importance to him.

In addition to road shows in various places, Zhang Hao also took Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway on an interview show to talk with everyone about the story behind "The Dark Knight Rises".

Looking back now, the horrific shooting incident has turned into an opportunity for growth.

In the program, Zhang Hao also talked about the script creation of "The Dark Knight Rises": "In the initial stage of script creation, I referred to Dickens's book "A Tale of Two Cities", the 1993 comic "Knightfall", and the 1986 comic book The Dark Knight Returns."

Anne Hathaway mentioned the experience of participating in "The Dark Knight Rises": "I didn't think about the script at all at first, I just wanted to work with Zhang once.

At first I thought I was playing Harley Quinn because the costume they gave me looked like the Joker.

Later I found out that I was playing Catwoman, and I was immediately surprised. I like this character very much, it is very cunning and smart, and it is very similar to my personality. "Christian Bale is much simpler: "I rarely appear in sequel movies, unless the person named Zhang is directing a Batman movie. "

After the promotional tour in China, the creators set off to Seoul for promotion.

Every time Zhang Hao's movie goes to Seoul to promote, it can cause a sensation. Not only ordinary movie fans, but also Korean stars flock to it.

Just looking at the road show in Seoul, I could name dozens of famous Korean stars, which I have to say is exaggerated.

After the road show, Li Fuzhen, the eldest princess of Samsung Group, invited Zhang Hao to dinner.

Zhang Hao was still wondering what was going on. At the same time, he was also curious about this legendary wealthy woman who married a security guard and was divorced due to domestic violence, so he readily agreed.

The two ate at the most luxurious Western restaurant in Seoul, and the entire place was booked by Li Fuzhen.

The meal process was nothing, just an ordinary chat. Li Fuzhen was very interested in movies and talked about many movie-related things.

Li Fuzhen himself said that he originally wanted to be an actor, and later invested in many Korean movies.

After enjoying the dessert, Li Fuzhen revealed his true purpose: "Mr. Zhang, I invite you here because I have something to ask you for help."

"Oh?" Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

If it's to help fight your brother Lee Jae-yong, I won't do it. I don't even stand up, and we are not in the same circle.

Li Fuzhen did not mince words and said directly: "That's right, I want to make a biopic about my grandfather Li Bingzhe, and I want you to direct it yourself."

"Uh..." Before Zhang Hao could say his words of rejection, Li Fuzhen continued:

"For this, we have prepared generous remuneration. If you are willing to take on this project, we at Samsung are willing to pay you 30 billion won in salary."

Zhang Hao was so dizzy by the 30 billion that he couldn't figure out how much RMB 30 billion was worth.

After a while, Zhang Hao calmed down and declined: "Ms. Li, I know how eager you are to make a biopic.

There are also many good directors in South Korea, such as Bong Joon-ho, but I am not a suitable candidate. "

"Please think about it carefully again," Li Fuzhen looked at Zhang Hao sincerely with his big watery eyes.

No one can refuse the request of a charming lady, especially one worth billions of dollars, unless his wife is also another charming lady.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hao belongs to the latter.

Although Li Fuzhen increased his remuneration to 40 billion won, Zhang Hao still declined the biopic project.

Filming this is not as exciting as filming "My Little Pony"!

Before saying goodbye, Zhang Hao also asked Li Fuzhen: "Is it Samsung's intention to make a biopic, or is it your personal idea?"

Li Fuzhen replied: "It's my personal idea..."

Zhang Hao understood in an instant that it was another battle between rich brothers and sisters.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Hao also asked his assistant: "How many RMB is 30 billion Korean won equal to?"

The assistant did some simple calculations and replied: "About 1500 million RMB!"

Zhang Hao shrugged and said, "Korean people are really stingy and petty. I was paid US$1500 million for directing The Dark Knight Rises, and I also got a share of the box office!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Hao then forgot about the matter.

However, it seems that the powerful Korean media will not let him go.
