King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 295 Yu Hao is making a fortune in Hollywood (In Praise of Time 1979)

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang San came back sweating profusely, but the smile on his face could not be stopped. Seeing this, Sun Cheng and his party were completely relieved.

Zhang San's ability is obvious to all, and there is no one who can be valued by Yu Hao.

…………

Yu Hao happily took a solid nap and ordered some exquisite fast food when he was hungry.

For Franklin's sake, everyone was friendly to him, and some even came over to ask Yu Hao for an autograph.

They knew in their hearts that a famous director like Yu Hao would not stay here for long, and the reason why they came in this time was probably because someone was targeting them.

………………

The next day, Yu Hao sat quietly in the dock in the Los Angeles court, with Zhang San as the defense lawyer.

Sun Cheng and others were sitting in the auditorium, and a few ugly Chinese people with pale faces were sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

There were many reporters in the audience, each holding a camera to shoot. They were very interested in this Chinese director. Yu Hao seemed to have seen a reporter from CCTV?

At this time, he suddenly thought of the photo of Liu Ye, a handsome man, but he didn't do it, mainly because he didn't want to damage the image of the Chinese. .

After coming back to his senses, he cast a reassuring look at Sun Cheng and the others.

When the court was about to begin, Jack walked in with a group of people.

As soon as he came in, Jack came over and smiled at Yu Hao: "Yu, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "No, I'll trouble Mr. Jack this time."

Jack laughed and said: "Who made you my friend? I thought you could continue to make movies for me."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Okay."

The lawyer brought by Jack met Zhang San, and the two sides began to exchange opinions.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the court officially opened, and many enthusiastic people gathered in front of the court to demonstrate.

After the trial, the plaintiff's lawyer took out a document and said: "This is the evidence of several of my clients. Please see it, your Honor."

After watching it, the judge said to Yu Hao: "The plaintiffs said that Yu Qian's movie caused them to be frightened and fainted, and they suffered from serious mental illness. Some even suffered from heart disease and were extremely depressed. Do you agree with this?"

Zhang San said confidently: "Your Honor, I object. My client shot a horror movie reasonably and legally. This movie is rated R. Everyone knows what this concept is.

We even specially arranged for people to ask the audience if they had this disease and whether they knew this was an R-rated movie when they entered the theater. This was our confession. "

After reading it, several judges nodded and asked the plaintiff: "Do you know the rating of this movie? And has anyone asked you about it?"

Several plaintiffs nodded, unable to quibble on this point.

The plaintiff's lawyer continued: "Your Honor, although the movie is rated this way, the impact it had on my clients is indelible. In this regard, I would like to ask Your Honor to review their cases."

Immediately, several mental illness diagnosis certificates were presented to the judge.

The judge asked Yu Hao: "Do you admit the serious consequences caused to them?"

Zhang San pushed up his glasses and said to the judge with a smile on his face: "This question is difficult to answer. Just like Einstein, he invented the mass-energy equation, but does the consequences of the atomic bomb have anything to do with him?"

The plaintiff's lawyer's face turned dark when he heard this, unable to accept the words.

The plaintiff's lawyer argued: "This is sophistry. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Just because they are the creators, they cannot be irresponsible, just like parents are to their children."

…………

The scene reached a deadlock, and the judge adjourned the case for a quarter of an hour.

When the court was adjourned, someone came in again, went straight to Jack, and took out a file bag.

After handing it to Jack, he left the court. Jack handed the document to Zhang San. Zhang San's face became more confident after seeing it.

After the court session resumed, Zhang San handed the document directly to the judge.

After reading it, the judge said: "President, the behavior reports of these people show that there is no problem with their mental state after watching the movie. On the contrary, it is caused by them. They are long-term drug addicts."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, even the plaintiff's lawyer did not expect it.

The judge knocked on the table and said: "Quiet, plaintiff's lawyer, do you have any additional evidence you want to add?"

The plaintiff's lawyer shook his head as if he were mourning for his heir.

Then the judge officially pronounced the verdict: "It was proved in court that Mr. Yu Hao was acquitted. The plaintiff needs to apologize for Mr. Yu Hao's slander to prove Mr. Yu Hao's reputation."

The sentencing officially came to an end, and Annie hugged Yu Hao excitedly.

Yu Hao whispered: "It's okay. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when we get back. There are so many people around now."

Only then did Annie realize that she was also a little confused.

After these people came out, they told the TV reporter: "I'm sorry, it was us who slandered Yu Hao of China. We hereby apologize to Yu Hao."

A reporter asked Yu Hao: "Yu, what do you think about this? Because the movie was too scary and the director was frightened and fainted, you should be the first one to send the director to detention."

Yu Hao shrugged and smiled: "This is my honor. It proves that my movie is successful. Everyone is welcome to watch my movie, but I would like to apologize to those who have been hurt by watching the movie.

As an apology, we will pay $100 million to compensate those who were harmed.

By the way, one last word of advice, my "Saw" is really scary. If you are not in good health or have a bad heart, never, never go to the cinema to watch this movie. "

Yu Hao received a burst of applause as soon as he finished speaking. After all, among the people who were stunned were their family members. Although the distribution was very small to each person, they were very satisfied with this attitude.

Another reporter asked: "Yu, what do you think of those claims on the Internet that Chinese people should get out of Hollywood?"

Yu Hao said with a serious face: "In my impression, Hollywood has always been known to the world for its tolerance. I personally don't care.

But if this kind of remarks affects directors from other countries who yearn for Hollywood, then I think it will cause great losses to Hollywood, and it will cause huge losses to film and television dramas around the world.

In addition, I would like to solemnly state that I hope you will apologize as soon as possible for those who spread rumors on the Internet to smear our country, because this is not my personal matter. It is a slander on the image of China.

If you don't apologize, then my lawyer will give you an explanation. We will meet here when the time comes. Don't say you didn't say what you said.

Finally, we Chinese filmmakers, film and television dramas, very much hope to be friendly with Hollywood, and hope that this matter will not cause unnecessary trouble. "

Yu Hao's words immediately caused a commotion, and everyone began to whisper and discuss. A reporter from CCTV stepped forward and said: "Director Yu said it well. Congratulations to Director Yu for redressing the injustice. Director Yu, people in China want to know the whole story of this matter. Can you elaborate on it?"

Yu Hao nodded and said: "It's nothing. It's just because there are too many bloody and scary scenes in the movie, coupled with the shooting angle and editing effect, it looks very scary and terrifying.

Thank you for your concern. I am fine. Thank you for your concern. "

After the chat, Yu Hao took everyone and Jack to the Beverly Hotel. Yu Hao had a drink with Jack and said, "Thank you Jack for your help, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

After chatting for a while, the two came to a corner. Jack smiled and said:

"This time it's not just us at Warner, several other companies also contributed. The document behind was found by everyone together, but your speech was very exciting and smart.

As for the man behind the scenes, everyone understands that this is the first gift Hollywood gives you. "

Yu Hao shrugged and said, "Okay, then I have to thank you?"

Jack smiled and said: "That's not necessary, but Yu, we made a lot of money this time, 1500 million in the first week, 2000 million in the second week, 2500 million in the third week, 1000 million in the fourth week, and a total of 7000 million in North America. ,

According to the share, we can get 6000 million. According to the contract, from the box office in the first month, of the 6000 million, we will get 900 million in distribution fees and 400 million in follow-up film remuneration.

Our company can get a share of 940 million yuan, and your company can get 3760 million yuan. We have made a lot of money this time, but it will take a month to get the money.

In addition, this movie will be released in North America for another two months. According to our estimates, this movie can earn at least 100 million US dollars at the box office.

Based on our investment of 200 million, we can get million, fifty times the investment income, which is very good. "

Yu Hao asked with some confusion: "What about the box office in other regions? It stands to reason that it can be done in other places."

Jack raised his index finger and said, "No, horror movies are only better in North America. The box office in other regions is very small, but it's enough.

By the way, Yu, are you ready for your next movie? Are you planning a sequel to this film or are you starting a new movie? "

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "There is no rush for the sequel, it is easy to get tired of aesthetics, but I have already written the script. I can make about ten movies, and the box office of each one should not be bad."

Jack's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Yu, I think the cooperation between us is quite pleasant, isn't it?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I think so, but don't worry, we can talk about it later."

Jack said with regret: "Okay, but Yu, what are you planning to make for your new movie? Is it a horror movie?"

After speaking, he looked at Yu Hao with interest.

Warners attaches great importance to Yu Hao, a very talented director, especially after receiving such a high box office, they attach even more importance to it.

Not surprisingly, even if the sequel isn't as profitable as this movie, it shouldn't be too bad.

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I have an idea, a racing movie, the name is "Fast and Furious". If you invest enough, it will be a big production.

According to my estimate, the investment will be at least 30 million US dollars. In this case, is Warner still interested in investing? "

Yu Hao has a lot of thoughts about the "Fast and Furious" series. He invested about US$4000 million in the first one and earned US$2 million in global box office.

The next few movies add up to at least 50 billion US dollars. It would be a shame not to seize such a profitable project.

When Jack heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said seriously: "Yu, so you already have an idea in your mind? In this way, you can complete the script as soon as possible, and we can discuss it in detail later?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to our next cooperation. I hope it won't scare Warner."

After hearing this, Jack laughed and said, "If you lose money, I'll let you make a sequel."

After Jack left, Sun Cheng and others looked at Yu Hao with smiles.

Looking at everyone, Yu Hao first said to Zun Long and the others: "Guys, I already know the sequel in my mind. Let's work together again then."

John Lone, Jim Carrey, Mark, and Anne Hathaway looked surprised.

Mark patted his chest directly and said: "Yu, I can come over at any time as long as you need it."

Jim Carrey smiled and said: "Me too, I feel that getting to know you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "It's easy to say. If I see you again later, I will say hello to you in advance."

After several people left, Sun Cheng, Zhang Jingchu, Mrs. Kurosawa, Zhou Ying, Zhang San, and Annie were the only ones left in the villa.

Several people smiled with unknown meaning in response to Anne's stay.

Sun Cheng said excitedly: "Director Yu, you are successful. The box office hit 60 million in the first month. After three months, I believe the box office of 100 million is just around the corner. We have established a firm foothold in Hollywood."

When this was said, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. They had not mentioned this before, but after hearing what Yu Hao said, the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

Yu Hao picked up the red wine glass and smiled at a few people: "This is just the beginning, just the beginning of our Shuguang Company. The future is in our hands."

When several people heard this, their faces were excited, and the excitement in their eyes could not be concealed.

Before they chatted for long, Yu Hao's phone rang suddenly. After the call was connected, he heard Gao Yuanyuan's trembling voice: "Senior brother, is it you?"

Yu Hao comforted him: "I'm fine. I'm out now. Don't worry."

Gao Yuanyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said cautiously: "Brother, how about we come back? If we feel that we are not familiar with the place, we will always suffer."

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "Yuanyuan, do you know how much the box office of my movie is?"

Gao Yuanyuan thought for a while and said: "It should be good, it can scare people into fainting. As for the box office, I don't know how to guess."

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "One month, the box office is 4.8 million US dollars. When converted into RMB, it is million. This movie can be released for two months. The final box office is million. There is no problem at all."

Gao Yuanyuan looked shocked and said: "So high? 4.8 million? Senior brother, are you lying to me? How could it be so high?"

Yu Hao laughed and said: "Why are you lying to me? I guess the movie box office report will come out in a few days. You will know then. If you say this is the case now, will I still go?"

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head repeatedly: "Then it's better to say goodbye. Sure enough, it's Hollywood, and it can be so profitable. But, senior brother, I heard that the company has another beautiful woman? She is still an 18-year-old girl."

With this tone, Yu Hao could hear the sour smell through the phone.
