Chapter 228 "Hurricane Rescue" was released in the mainland
The time soon came to late September, and the crew of "District 9" had been in South Africa for more than a month.
The filming of "District 9" is nearing the end, and only the last scene can be completed.
Therefore, on this day, everyone was full of enthusiasm and tried to finish filming and go home early!
The only shot to be shot today is a serial explosion!
The stunt team has designed and tested several successful serial explosions, and filming will begin today.
Previously, the special effects team had already set up the equipment in place, with a whole row of tin houses placed in the designated places, and plumbing equipment that could produce a large amount of gray smoke was also placed behind the tin houses.
Chen Hao sat behind the monitor and nodded at Chris.
"Everyone follow the special effects team's instructions, get out of the blast line, and again, everyone get out of the blast line!" Chris repeated with a megaphone.
It wasn't until the surrounding people were sure that they were all in the safe area, and that all departments were ready, that Chris nodded at Chen Hao.
Seeing this, Chen Hao shouted: "Okay, there will be an explosion soon, everyone must pay attention to safety, start!"
Chris said, "Attention special effects department, the countdown to the explosion begins, ten, nine, eight, seven......"
In addition to the behind-the-scenes personnel and the special effects team who were working at the scene, Donnie and other actors, including Chen Hao, covered their ears with their hands, because during the previous test, everyone knew that the explosion was a bit amazing.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were glued to the tin house in front of them.
When everyone heard the countdown "1", they couldn't help but dub "bang" in their hearts!
Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......
A huge explosion suddenly occurred in front of the row of iron houses, and the iron sheets flew in all directions, and the roofs instantly rose into the sky and were lifted into the air.
At the same time, a fierce flame spread rapidly, and gray smoke instantly enveloped the burning ruins.
A row of tin houses was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke!
Chen Hao stared at the tin house in the monitor, waiting for it to burn for a while, and then shouted, "Okay, it's over!"
Everyone was very happy when they heard this, especially the special effects team, who high-fived and celebrated.
This is the highlight of the day, and there are safety implications, and now it's the best thing to do it all at once.
After making sure that there was no problem with the camera again, Chen Hao shouted with a loudspeaker, "I announce that "District 9" is finished!"
"Hahaha......"
"It's finally over, and you can go back home!"
"Thank God we're going back. ”
......
In the past month, although everyone was only filming in South Africa, they saw poverty, racial discrimination, gang crime, and so on.
This is a bit far away for the crew, and Americans may be okay, after all, they can legally own guns, so it's not uncommon to see guns, robbery crimes, etc.
But for Chen Hao and Chang Hongsong and other Chinese people, it is a little strange and terrifying.
Chen Hao is also glad that he brought a security team, coupled with the security forces of the United States and the local area, so that the crew has been safe.
If Chen Hao was allowed to choose, he would never want to come to Africa to film again!
Therefore, Chen Hao did not prepare for the finale banquet in Johannesburg, everyone directly took the luggage that had been packed a long time ago, and went to the airport without any nostalgia to prepare to leave here.
When we were at the airport, we were separated.
Downey and the others naturally returned to the United States, while Chang Hongsong's special effects team flew to Xiangjiang to prepare to start the special effects production of "District 9".
Although the task assigned by Haotian special effects is relatively simple, the filming of "District 9" this time has benefited a lot from being able to cooperate with Weta Digital.
Now Haotian Special Effects needs to go back and digest what they have learned in these days, and at the same time start the post-production of "District 9".
As for Chen Hao, he flew directly to the imperial capital, and in addition to editing "District 9", he also had to help promote "Hurricane Rescue".
Seeing that October is coming soon, "Hurricane Rescue" is also about to be released in the mainland!
Because "Chainsaw" failed to pass the review, it could not be released in the mainland, so this is Chen Hao's second new film to be released in the mainland after 17 months.
Originally, this time was not a long time for a director, but it was different for the "fast gunman" Chen Hao.
No one expected Chen Hao to last so long!
Especially some fans of Chen Hao, they have long been eager to see through it!
The previous publicity was mainly Gonghuang, Liam Neeson and Xiaohu, but now that Chen Hao is back, with his fame, he can give the movie a good promotion.
At the same time, "Hurricane Rescue" has already started publicity in the mainland, and this publicity and distribution is naturally jointly carried out by Haotian, Paulie Berner, Guangxian and Huaying.
Previously, the two films relied on the influence of the national teacher and the super lineup of "Hero" to put pressure on the theater chain, increasing the box office share ratio to 40%.
Although this is a treatment only available to super blockbusters, other films also follow suit, as long as they are a little good-looking, the share ratio can reach about 37%.
And Chen Hao's existence as one of the three most famous directors in China, coupled with the fact that "Hurricane Rescue" is a Chinese and American co-production, and it has exploded at the box office in North America and around the world.
Therefore, the final box office share ratio of "Hurricane Rescue" reached 39%, which is 1 point lower than that of "Hero".
At the same time, the audio-visual rights and CCAV6 broadcast rights of the film in the mainland were sold for 6 million and 2 million respectively.
After Chen Hao returned to Haotian Film and Television, he did not rush to edit the movie, but met a man directly.
He is Zhuang Liqi, who has just joined Haotian Film and Television!
In fact, Zhuang Liqi himself already had plans to leave the Huaxia International TV Drama Magic Capital Branch, and he joined Chengtian Entertainment in his previous life.
It's just that because of Chen Hao's influence, he has now come to Haotian Film and Television.
The reason why Haotian Film and Television was able to attract Zhuang Liqi was because the company did not have veterans and qualified leaders in TV dramas, but it gave birth to popular dramas such as "Golden Branches".
Of course, Haotian Film and Television also showed his ambitions in the field of TV dramas, plus promised him the position of deputy general manager and the power of TV dramas.
There is also a green light in terms of funding, which undoubtedly gives him the opportunity to show his strength.
So, Zhuang Liqi, who was determined to leave, did not hesitate for too long and decided to join Haotian Film and Television.
Chen Hao was naturally overjoyed by this, the two who had cooperated in his previous life, Chen Hao naturally knew Zhuang Liqi's ability and connections.
With him in charge of the company's TV drama department, Chen Hao can concentrate on movies.
The two talked very happily, because Chen Hao understood Zhuang Liqi's preferences, so the two chatted very speculatively.
It also made Zhuang Liqi know more about Chen Hao, young but not arrogant, calm and courageous!
Later, Chen Hao was interviewed by several media to promote "Hurricane Rescue".
Soon the time came to October 1, and "Hurricane Rescue" was officially released in the mainland!
