Chapter 418: Impact

"Director Chen, can you briefly introduce your new film?"

"My new film is called The Martian, and it's a story about surviving alone on Mars, or simply put, a space version of Robinson Crusoe.

The investment in the film will reach 80 million yuan, and the actor will be starring Chow Yunfa. Chen Hao introduced.

The reporters were speechless for a while, but they were used to Chen Hao's introduction, Spring and Autumn penmanship, maintaining mystery, and hunger marketing!

However, when I heard the investment of 80 million yuan, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, which was a big deal.

Compared with the average investment of domestic films in China of less than 5 million yuan, it is indeed a big investment and big production.

With an investment of 80 million yuan, if you want to recover the cost in the mainland, then the final box office must reach at least 200 million yuan.

Now that they dare to invest so much, only the four major directors have confidence that the mainland will not be able to recover the cost, and the copyright can be sold overseas without losing money.

At the same time, this is also the first time Chen Hao has cooperated with a Xiangjiang superstar, although Chow Yunfa came back from Hollywood a little down, but the name of the God of Gambling is still very loud in the mainland.

With an investment of 80 million yuan, coupled with the first cooperation with a Xiangjiang superstar, I don't know what kind of box office frenzy "The Martian" will set off this summer.

After Feng Dacang and Xing Ye did not release new films, and the national teacher went to make literary films, the box office of domestic films in the mainland this year obviously relied on Chen Hao and Chen Kaige to carry the banner!

The media has also done a survey on who can win the annual box office championship between the two, and it is obvious that the two are expected by everyone, but I don't know who will win in the end!

After the press conference, Chen Hao rushed directly to the studio in Ji Province, and the content of the press conference quickly made headlines in the media.

"Haotian Film and Television launched the 'Haotian New Director Program', with no upper limit on investment, aiming to cultivate new directors in the mainland!--Sohu Entertainment reported

"Chen Hao's new sci-fi film "The Martian" started filming, with an investment of 80 million yuan, and partnered with Xiangjiang actor Chow Runfa for the first time!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"Haotian Holdings announced the 2005 annual work plan!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

......

The news of Haotian Holdings' New Year's conference quickly caused a sensation in the industry, especially the implementation of the "Haotian New Director Plan" made all students and young directors with the dream of directing boiling.

Don't look at the "Hope Star Project" is only an investment of 5 million yuan in 3 years, but for students, it is often enough to shoot their first work for tens of thousands of yuan.

In 2005, the entire industry invested 5 million yuan is considered a "big production", and if you think about Chen Hao's Virgo "Comet", it is only 50,000 yuan, so 5 million is enough to support students to shoot dozens of works.

And Xie Fei, who is in charge of the "Star of Hope Project" in Diying, has already been visited, and the phone is ringing non-stop.

However, Xie Fei has been experienced for a long time, and it is more than enough to deal with it, and there is Haotian's final review, so he can't shirk it.

As for the "Spark Project" spreading more widely? Let a lot of people have a director's dream? But the young directors who are trapped in investment and distribution rekindle their dreams.

And this time their goal is very unified, that is, Haotian Film and Television.

Many people already have their own scripts and ideals? Rushed to Haotian!

The launch of the "Haotian New Director Program"? not only swept up the favorability of young directors, but also received great praise in the media and the industry.

Han Sanpin even came forward to comment: Chen Hao is not only a genius director? is also a conscientious director, he knows that it is not easy for a newcomer to direct? This program will be launched.

Haotian Film and Television has developed from the studio to the present? It has become one of the largest private entertainment companies in China, but in addition to development, it has not forgotten its social responsibility, and its contribution to the development of the industry and the support of young directors is obvious to all!

I sincerely hope that this project will be a great success? Cultivate more outstanding young directors for us!

Han Sanpin was also very pleased with Chen Hao's move? After all, cultivating young directors is also one of Huaying's initiatives, which is of great benefit to the development and promotion of the entire domestic film market.

Chen Hao's actions made Han Sanpin very pleased, obviously feeling that he was discerning!

At the same time, after Huayi learned the content of Haotian's press conference? The big and small kings are looking at each other.

Obviously, the entire director support program will bring countless praises to Haotian? and the goodwill of the new directors, not to mention the praise of the media.

"Why don't we get one too?" Xiao Wang frowned.

The king shook his head? "The support plan looks good, but is it estimated that nine times out of ten it will lose money? So many years? How many new directors are there?"

Xiao Wang nodded when he heard this? The only newcomer directors who have really become famous over the years are Chen Hao and Lu Chuan!

Chen Hao didn't say much, Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun" and "Ke Ke Xili" received a lot of praise, but they only lost money and made money.

Ning Hao, who later generations, once said in an interview that when making movies at the beginning of the century, everyone talked not about the box office, but about feelings!

It can only be said that the environment of the mainland film market at the beginning of the century is really not very good, and there is no box office at all, how can we talk about it?

Lu Chuan's two movies didn't make money at all, but even so, Lu Chong is already the only one who can handle it.

Therefore, if a new director wants to stand out in the industry, he must not only have the ability, but also have the opportunity, otherwise it will be really difficult!

For the king of pure businessmen, movies are just a tool for him to make money, saying how much he loves movies and is willing to dedicate himself to the film industry, that is all high-sounding, just listen to it.

The only thing people pursue is money!

"We are about to set up a media group, and now the most important thing is performance, we must have a brilliant result in the first year, and we must not fall into the name of the first private entertainment company in our mainland!

At that time, we will also hold a grand press conference, so that all the media in the mainland will report on it, and the era of Huayi Brothers Media Group is coming!" said the king domineeringly.

Xiao Wang smiled when he heard this, and now Huayi has been involved in the investment and operation of films, TV series, artist management, records, entertainment marketing and other fields, and has achieved good results in these fields.

Therefore, this year, it was decided to establish Huayi Brothers Media Group to start the top spot among private entertainment companies in the mainland.

At the same time, compared with the director support plan of Haotian who pays more attention to the industry, fans are more concerned about Chen Haode's new film "The Martian"!

"Comet", "The Moon", and "The Man Without a Surname" have already let everyone see Chen Hao's talent in science fiction movies, and also let China really have classic science fiction movies that can be handled.

And in the field of science fiction films, Chen Hao is currently leading the way alone, and many radical Chen Hao fans even call Chen Hao the "Godfather of Chinese Science Fiction Movies"!

Now, Chen Hao's new film is a science fiction film again, which naturally makes Chen Hao's fans and fans, especially science fiction fans, ecstatic!
