Chapter 196: Binding Wen Ziren (Fourth Update)

After Chen Hao said goodbye to Yaya, he explained to Xing Aina and Hao Yi, and went directly to the United States to prepare for the release of "Hurricane Rescue".

After Chen Hao came to Los Angeles, he went directly to Measuring Ruler Films, and the current measuring ruler is different from the past.

The previous measuring scale could only be said to be a leather bag company, but now there are 4 employees.

A front desk, an accountant, and Wen Ziren and his good friend Revonal.

When Chen Hao first arrived at the company, the front desk didn't even know him, but Wen Ziren saw Chen Hao and walked over quickly and shouted, "Mr. Chen, you are here!"

"Wen, long time no see, how are you doing?" Chen Hao nodded with a smile, and then went to his office under the guidance of Wen Ziren.

"I've been busy revising the script for Saw 2 lately, well, it's been a fulfilling life. Wen Ziren said with a smile.

"It looks like the script has been polished. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll show it to you now!" Wen Ziren ran out excitedly after speaking.

Chen Hao only had time to take a look at his office, the area is not small, the decoration is quite simple, these don't matter, the only thing he is dissatisfied with is that there is no small room for rest.

Soon, Wen Ziren ran back, stopped when he arrived at the door, came in step by step, and then handed the script to Chen Hao with both hands prudently.

After Chen Hao took it, he looked through it carefully, and it was slightly different from the second part of the series in his memory, but overall it didn't change much.

After pretending to watch it, Chen Hao looked up at Wen Ziren directly, "Wen, don't blame me for being unkind, I'm going to let you direct "Chainsaw 2", but you have to sign 15 movies with Measuring Sky Ruler Pictures." ”

Wen Ziren was stunned when he heard this, and then his mood became very complicated.

He is naturally very happy to be able to direct "Saw 2", but it is a bit of a pit to sign 15 movies with Measuring Scale.

This is definitely more beneficial for the measuring ruler, if Wen Ziren can become famous, then the measuring ruler is equivalent to tying up a well-known director.

And 15 movies, even if Wen Ziren can have one a year, it will be tied up for 15 years, although Wen Ziren is still young enough.

On the contrary, if Wen Ziren is not able to succeed, then the measuring ruler can be directly invalidated.

There is no doubt that in the face of the unknown Wen Ziren, the measuring ruler is the strong side, and now he is not qualified enough to raise conditions.

Of course, on the other hand, the conditions are a bit harsh, but Wen Ziren at least got the opportunity to prove himself, and he has been preparing for "Saw 2" for several months, and he is very reluctant.

"Can it be changed into 10 movies?" Wen Ziren asked tentatively, although he himself knew that it was unlikely.

Chen Hao shook his head directly, "Impossible, but no matter whether "Saw 2" can succeed or not, I can guarantee to give you three chances, and I won't fail once without you."

In addition, the contract conditions given to you are not set in stone, and the company will pay you a fair amount according to your value. ”

Wen Ziren felt a little better when he heard this, now he is measuring the scale to give himself a chance, and he will give a reasonable reward, the most rare thing is to have three chances, this is the most important thing.

Many directors are first-time directors, and then they become the last directors, and being able to give a director three chances is also benevolent and righteous.

After all, Wen Ziren can't guarantee that he will be able to succeed, and with these three opportunities, at least he is more likely to succeed than many other newcomers.

Wen Ziren's mind was in a hurry, and he finally nodded, "Okay, I'll do it!"

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "Then the cooperation is happy! After our contract is signed, you can go to the budget and other preparations for "Saw 2". ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will not let you down. Wen Ziren said fiercely.

"I'm optimistic about you, otherwise I won't give you a chance. Chen Hao smiled, "I will be the producer of the film, but I don't have much energy to go to the set, you can control it yourself when the time comes." I really can't handle it anymore and call me. ”

Wen Ziren nodded excitedly when he heard this, Chen Hao's words were obviously to hand over the entire crew to himself, so that he would not be constrained by the producer on his head, and no one would point him astray, so he naturally couldn't ask for it.

"But it's your first time as a director, you have to grasp it, if you overspend, don't blame me for directly intervening in the crew at that time. Chen Hao said with a smile.

Wen Ziren was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly nodded.

Chen Hao is also afraid that Wen Ziren will not be able to hold back his first time directing a feature film, and if he is like Cameron, he will be a cheater, so he must be warned again if he gives sweetness.

Then the two talked a little more about the movie, and Davis arrived.

"Chen, I finally saw you in the United States. Davis said happily.

"It seems that you are in a hurry!" Chen Hao smiled.

Davis nodded directly, as the head of Colombia Asia, several Asian films he is currently responsible for investing in have not yet been released, especially now in the case of SARS in East Asia, which is not optimistic.

On the contrary, Chen Hao's "Chainsaw" made him leak his face in the head office before, and now it is the time to chase after the victory, so he has been waiting for Chen Hao's "Hurricane Rescue".

If "Hurricane Rescue" can meet expectations at the box office, then no matter how well it performs in Asia, he will be invincible, and he will even be able to return to the head office earlier.

After all, three-quarters of Hurricane Rescue's investment comes from Colombia, and as long as Hurricane Rescue is successful, it will be another big achievement.

The key is that what he can get his hands on for the time being is Chen Hao's card, after all, others are in Asia, and his hand can't reach out to North America, and he can't participate in some big productions, so he was fortunate to meet Chen Hao.

"The movie has been made and I want to release it as soon as possible. Chen Hao also said directly.

Now both are counting on the release of "Hurricane Rescue" as soon as possible and becoming a big hit.

Davis nodded when he heard this, "That's right, after all, it's already March, and if it's a little later, it's going to be the summer file with fierce competition, so I can only choose the spring file." ”

Spring in North America is generally from the first weekend of March to the Thursday before the first weekend of May.

This schedule is relatively cold, first, the holiday schedule has just passed, there are fewer customers, and the blockbuster that should be released is basically completed.

Second, just after the Oscars, the best films competing for the Oscars have basically completed the box office momentum war.

As a result, there are several main categories of films released in this schedule.

One is that last year, I was going to compete for the Oscar, but it was postponed because of poor test screenings.

The second is a horror film for the purpose of attracting money.

The third is the small film of the year, or the film with little box office potential.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, this schedule is less competitive, and the following summer schedule is too miserable, so there will also be giants who arrange blockbusters in this schedule.

It is equivalent to ten birds in the forest is not as good as one bird in hand, and the box office is also very impressive!
