Chen Hao established Haotian Cinema Management Company, with himself as the general manager and Chen Xiangang as the deputy general manager, and at the same time let all its 40 theaters join a number of joints, with Chen Xiangang as the general manager.

The establishment of Haotian Cinema Line is the first case of cinema merger after the implementation of the cinema system reform in the mainland, which has naturally attracted widespread attention!

As the largest cinema chain in East China so far, Haotian Cinema Line and its general manager Chen Xiangang have become the focus of attention of the media and the industry for a while!

And just when Chen Xiangang was talking to the media about the future development plan of Haotian Cinema, Chen Hao received a call from Yu Dong.

"Brother, what have you been busy with lately?" Yu Dong said with a smile.

"Brother Dong, what can you do during the SARS period?" Chen Hao replied.

"The box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is about to break 100 million US dollars!" Yu Dong shook his head secretly after speaking.

Although he was also very optimistic about Chen Hao's potential and strength before, he would never have thought that Chen Hao would become famous in North America at such a young age, which may not make him even think of it.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "You said "Hurricane Rescue", that's just a fluke." ”

"Hahaha...... To be too modest is to be proud, brother. Yu Dong said with a smile.

"Hahaha...... Generally so-so. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"My brother not only makes good movies, but also seems to be very confident in the mainland film market!" Yu Dong said suddenly.

"Oh?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it seemed that Yu Dong had obviously guessed.

"Haotian Cinema is also from my brother's handwriting, right?" asked Yu Dong seemingly casually.

"I didn't expect Brother Dong to guess so quickly. Chen Hao admitted it generously.

After all, Chen Hao still wants to continue to cooperate with Yu Dong's Berner to further strengthen Haotian's distribution capabilities in the mainland.

The cooperation between the two is mutual benefit and win-win!

Yu Dong was shocked when he heard this, he was just guessing before, because Chen Hao has a Haotian film and television, and now there is a Haotian cinema, which inevitably makes people reminisce.

And Chen Hao went to North America to make a movie that sold at the box office, and he should have made a lot of money, so he had the money to invest in the mainland, which seems to be right!

It's just that I didn't expect Yu Dong's idea to be confirmed by Chen Hao himself!

Yu Dong was shocked and ecstatic, he had just reached a cooperation with Poly, and now he has Chen Hao's Haotian Cinema Line, so he can definitely turn the river and the sea in the field of film distribution.

At the same time, Yu Dong also fell in love with Chen Hao's "Hurricane Rescue", or all his future movies.

After all, the example of "Moon" is right in front of me, and "The Legend of Tianmai", which I had worked hard to get in exchange for the distribution rights, ended up with a box office that couldn't do "Moon".

This made Yu Dong feel a thankless feeling, but he still clung to Chen Haolai.

"Brother, you're really generous!" Yu Dong sighed.

"Isn't Brother Dong also pulling Poly and mixing up!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

Poly Group is a supergiant, and the film and television sector can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, especially when the mainland film market has not yet recovered.

"Average!" The corners of Yu Dong's mouth couldn't help but rise when he heard this, and it was indeed his pride to catch up with Poly.

"Brother Dong, I'll tell you directly, I originally wanted to talk to you about cooperation. Chen Hao said, "It just so happened that you talked about this today, what do you think?"

Yu Dong laughed when he heard this, "I also have this intention, our brothers join forces, even Huaying can break their wrists." ”

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "Brother Dong, low-key and low-key!"

"Hahaha......" Yu Dong continued to laugh when he heard this, and he had already begun to enjoy the scene of his own killing in the future.

The two blew for a while, and Yu Dong asked, "Brother, when is your "Hurricane Rescue" going to be released in the mainland?"

"Now the SARS epidemic has not yet been determined when it will be eliminated, and there are so many blockbusters waiting to be released in the second half of the year, and the schedule cannot be determined for the time being. Chen Hao shook his head and said.

Yu Dong nodded when he heard this, and all the blockbusters that were really competitive at the box office this year were basically adjusted to the second half of the year.

At present, only "Harry Potter 2" was lucky to be released in February, winning 52.22 million yuan, temporarily becoming the 2003 annual box office champion in mainland China!

And in the runner-up position is "Mice Fall in Love with Cats" starring Liu Dehua and Zhang Baizhi, with a box office of 23 million!

The third place is 17.23 million yuan starring Al Pacino in "Spy in the Sea".

In addition, there is no movie that has exceeded 10 million at the box office.

And now, it is May 2003, and half a year is about to pass.

It's no wonder that the film industry is so anxious to catch fire, after all, everyone depends on this to eat, if the film market has been like this, and even continues to deteriorate, then everyone is afraid that the future will be even more miserable.

After the two chatted about the movie released by the theater chain again, they ended the call.

Subsequently, Chen Hao received an email from Wen Ziren, which was a budget table for "Saw 2", crew and actors, etc.

Chen Hao looked at it for a while and agreed.

Wen Ziren's budget is 3.5 million US dollars, about 29 million yuan!

Although this budget is close to 3 times that of "Saw 1", it is a sequel after all, and it is still a low-cost B-grade film, so Chen Hao directly passed the review.

However, Chen Hao called Wen Ziren again and reminded him to pay attention to the control of funds, but don't want to increase the funds again.

At the same time, Chen Hao is also a little entangled in the final editing right.

He himself is undoubtedly lucky, he already has a certain economic foundation when he goes to North America, so he can bypass Colombia and invest on his own and get the right to final cutting.

And when filming "Hurricane Rescue", he has proven himself, and with Davis as a guarantee, he still enjoys the right to final cuts.

Chen Hao also understands the importance and significance of the right to cut the final cut for a director.

But there is no doubt that the right to cut the final cut is also a weapon to control the style and risk of the film, and it is important to give the right to the final cut to Wen Ziren for the first time.

Chen Hao thought about it, but still didn't give it directly, but just promised to let him cut it first, and if he didn't agree, he would change it.

Wen Ziren is also very satisfied with this, he knows the significance of the final cutting right in the North American director circle, and it is good to be able to edit a director's version by himself.

And looking at Chen Hao's attention and cultivation of him, Wen Ziren actually thinks that Chen Hao should not use big scissors against himself again, but just to maintain the company's strong position towards directors.

After the official establishment of "Chainsaw 2", Chen Hao, the producer, did not interfere too much, but handed it over to Wen Ziren to deal with it himself.

And Chen Hao didn't have anything to do in Huaxia, so he began to think about what his next movie would be good for!
