Chapter 134: Domestic Repercussions
The facts are indeed as Chen Hao expected, not only Scarlett Johansson was not able to invite, but also Samuel L. Jackson, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., did not agree to join.
In the end, Chen Hao, who was helpless, could only find a more familiar person, Norman Redus.
He's Darryl from The Walking Dead, Crossbow!
Within three days, Chen Hao completed the interviews for all the actors of the Avengers version of "Chainsaw", combined with age, whether they are in the United States, and their current fame and other conditions, the final list of actors was confirmed.

......
After the actors were confirmed, Davis had already formed the crew, and now the filming location had to be determined.
In the end, Davis found a huge warehouse for Chen Hao, and most of the scenes in the film will be built in this warehouse, which is more convenient when filming.
However, before the scene was built, Chen Hao gathered all the crew, not only the actors, but also all the behind-the-scenes personnel for a meeting.
At the meeting, Davis appeared in person and affectionately called Chen Hao brothers.
In the end, he directly said cruelly, "If there is any problem in the crew, especially if you do not obey the director's arrangement, you will be fired directly, and I guarantee that it will be difficult for you to find a job in the future." ”
Everyone was shocked by Davis's words, and everyone was still a little optimistic about a Chinese director like Chen Hao.
It wasn't until everyone knew that "The Moon", which is now being screened in the United States, was from Chen Hao, that the contempt in my heart was eliminated.
But it is unlikely that they will be completely obedient.
It's just that Davis speaks personally, and that's different, as a top executive of one of Hollywood's eight giants.
It's easy to get hold of everyone in this small crew.
Everyone also put away their thoughts, and now all they want to do is to complete the work, and then take the money and leave.
It's just that everyone will inevitably wonder why Davis attaches so much importance to the Asian director in front of him, and he is quite handsome after looking closely.
Don't......
Alas, it is not easy to get ahead, and many people even cast regretful glances at Chen Hao!
Chen Hao wanted to hit someone when he saw this, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Davis.
Davis didn't expect this, he came to support Chen Hao, but he didn't expect to make ambiguity, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
However, with Davis's words, Chen Hao's work in the crew will undoubtedly be simple and smooth.
Subsequently, Chen Hao, Ning Hao and the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew began to build the scene according to the plot of the script.
At the same time, various props are being made.
In his previous life, Wen Ziren spent 5 days to make all the preparations, and then completed the filming of "Chainsaw" in 18 days without rehearsals.
The main thing is that there are not too high acting requirements, and the scene is not big, as long as you go smoothly according to the script and there are no mistakes, there will be very few NGs, so it will be completed so quickly.
......
At the same time in China, "Moon" was officially painted two weeks after it was released.
In the last two weeks, "Moon" won 320,000 and 140,000 box office results respectively, and the cumulative total box office reached 32.02 million!
This result temporarily ranked "Moon" in fourth place in the 2002 annual box office list!
Second only to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" with 56.2 million, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" with 55.54 million, and "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones" with 45 million!
The cumulative box office of "Moon" is 32.02 million, and the box office share between the producer and the distributor is 32.02 million * 91.7% * 35% = 10.2768 million.
Removing the 2 million publicity expenses paid by Chen Hao, and then removing the 15% publicity and distribution costs of Huaying and Berner, Haotian Film and Television received a share of (1027.68-200) * 85% = 7.035 million.
also has to remove taxes, and in the end Chen Hao can get about 6 million.
Coupled with the 2 million publicity expenses paid before, Chen Hao can return 8 million, leaving 14 million in his hand, a total of 22 million.
Now investing $1.2 million to shoot "Chainsaw", Chen Hao has 12.1 million left in his hand.
Of course, Chen Hao can't get these dividends for the first time, and it is estimated that he will have to wait for two months.
After the painting of "Moon", the temporary fourth box office result of 32.02 million made Chen Hao the focus again.
It's just that when the media reporter wanted to interview Chen Hao, he got the news of an accidental explosion.
Chen Hao shelved the planned third Chinese-language film and went directly to the United States to shoot English-language films.
In other words, Chen Hao, like his predecessors Wu Baige and Li Press, went to North America.
As soon as this news came out, the mainland media exploded directly!
Today, when none of the three major directors in the mainland have gone to the United States to try their skills, a rising star director dares to go directly to Hollywood, which can only be said to be too conceited and too bold.
And with the media coverage, the news quickly spread across the country.
Everyone agrees on this matter.
The vast majority of people have a negative attitude, thinking that Chen Hao should hone in China for another two years, and maybe he can go to the United States to try it after he is more mature and stable.
Now that I have just made two movies, I am rushing to sweep the world, and Hollywood, which is unfamiliar with life, is afraid that it will soon be returned.
At this time, the news of the box office failure of Wu Baige's "Wind Whisperer" also spread to China, which made everyone even more optimistic about Chen Hao's future.
In order to win attention, media reporters interviewed several big directors respectively.
Feng Dacang: Chen Hao still has some talent, but he is afraid that he is not far from failure when he goes to the United States in such a hurry, and there and China are completely two worlds, so let's come back quickly, so as not to be embarrassed and thrown to the United States.
Brother Chen Kai: Chen Hao's choice this time is still a little inconsiderate, and young people should be more patient.
Zhang Weiping: This kid is a little too crazy, and now the only directors in China who are qualified to go to North America should be national teachers, and our upcoming "Hero" can be said to represent the highest level of domestic films.
I can responsibly say that even if the movie "Hero" is delivered to North America, it can stunned those foreigners, because "Hero" has this strength, and I don't believe you can wait for the release at the end of the year to verify it.
Jiang Wen: This kid is really kind, I am looking forward to his performance.
......
At the same time, the response on the Internet has been quite mixed.
The reality is too cruel 1: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and it doesn't hurt to break through, it's a big deal to fail and return home!
China Entertainment Reporter: Chen Hao is still very talented, what if he succeeds!
The Great Qin Empire will last forever: if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that Chen Hao can't do it!
Reader 1533296848328111: Chen Hao can make sci-fi films that he is good at, and he should be very likely to succeed!
Qinglian Earth: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
Circle 1993: Ya Butterfly!
......
The people on the Internet are generally young people, and the most important thing they lack is passion and fighting spirit, their edges and corners are still there, and the blood in their hearts is still there, so they are more optimistic about Chen Hao's North American journey and look forward to it!
The heated discussions in the media and on the Internet have made Chen Hao's trip to North America the focus of everyone's attention for a while, and the popularity remains high.
Everyone is also waiting for Chen Hao to give you an answer sheet of how many points!
......
Los Angeles, North America!
The news from China obviously didn't spread so quickly, and at this time, Chen Hao and the staff had already spent 5 days to complete all the preparations.
On August 5th, Chen Hao's first Hollywood movie "Chainsaw" officially started filming!
