Chapter 178: 2002, End!
After the filming of Britney Spears' scenes ended, all the scenes of "Hurricane Rescue" in the United States were completed.
So, Chen Hao didn't delay much, and directly took the crew to China.
At the same time, time flies and passes inexorably, and before you know it, 2002 is over.
When Chen Hao and Xiaohu set foot on the land of the imperial capital, the time had come to the beginning of 2003, New Year's Day!
At this point, Chen Hao has been in this time and space for almost a year and a half.
On September 10, 2001, Chen Hao came to Guibao for the first time!
But he magically found that he became a student of the senior director department of Emperor Film, and opened a studio with Ning Hao and Hao Yi.
Dong Xuan, Yang Xue and Che Xiao are still their ex-girlfriends, and Xiaohu is his childhood sweetheart, which is really glamorous!
However, Chen Hao knew that a man could not be powerless, powerless, and without money for a day, so he began to struggle.
Although it was pitted, it got the real first pot of gold through Nongfu Spring.
Then, with the help of his teacher Xie Fei, he found the Qingying Studio affiliated to the imperial capital and began to shoot his debut, holding back his big moves!
If the second half of 2001 was a dormant period, then 2002 was a year of fame and harvest for Chen Hao!
At the beginning of the year, his debut film "Comet" was a blockbuster, not only winning the New Wave Award at the Busan International Film Festival and the Best Original Screenplay at the Treasure Island Golden Horse Award.
also got a box office of 10.09 million at a cost of 50,000 yuan, which ranked 15th in the 2001 annual box office list in the mainland!
In May 2002, Chen Hao's second film "The Moon" won the Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival!
also achieved a box office result of 32.02 million yuan at a cost of 3.5 million.
This achievement surpassed Wu Baige's "Wind Whisperer", "Mission Impossible 2", and Yu Dong's "Legend of Tianmai", which fought hard for the distribution rights, ranked 6th in the 2002 annual box office list in the mainland.
is second only to "Heroes", which has achieved a box office of 150 million yuan, "The Lord of the Rings 1" with 56.2 million, "Harry Potter 1" with 55.54 million, "Star Wars Prequel 2" with 45 million and "Spider-Man 1" with 41 million.
At the same time, "Moon" also earned $9.76 million at the U.S. box office, ranking 139th on the 2002 annual box office list in North America.
As for Chen Hao's third and first Hollywood movie "Chainsaw", it has also been officially drawn on December 29, 2002!
After 60 days of the North American box office market, "Saw Horror" finally achieved a box office result of $55.15 million.
This box office result ranked 47th in the 2002 annual box office list in North America!
Meanwhile, Saw has been released in Europe and Asia, and has now grossed more than $85 million worldwide.
At the same time, Latin America and the Middle East are also preparing to be released one after another, and according to Colombia's estimates, the global box office of "Chainsaw" is likely to exceed 100 million.
Chen Hao doesn't care much about this, what he cares about is when the box office share in North America will arrive, because he still owes money.
The three-story townhouse that I bought for Da Mei Sugar before was not bought in full, for Li Mingqiao's sake, Chen Hao temporarily gave 5 million first, and there is still a difference of 15 million!
And Chen Hao now only has 3 million money left in his hand!
According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the producer can get a total of 50% of the box office share of "Chainsaw", of course, 10% of which is the distribution cost belonging to Colombia.
In other words, Chen Hao can finally share 40% of the North American box office of "Chainsaw", that is, 22.06 million, and if you remove taxes, it will be about 18.75 million US dollars, or 155 million yuan.
After Chen Hao roughly calculated, he had to say that his decision to come to the United States was completely correct.
The box office share can get 40%, this is still in the case of Chen Hao's first Hollywood movie, as long as Chen Hao can continue to succeed, then his movie box office share will be higher and higher.
Coupled with the exchange rate of 8.27 between the US dollar and the yuan, the gap is really too big.
A "Moon" earned about 4 million yuan at the box office, while a "Chainsaw" earned 155 million at the North American box office alone, which is a 38.75 times gap.
What's more, there are global box office dividends, as well as DVD and videotape rentals that may be more profitable, paid channels, ordinary channels, airport hospitals and other places broadcast dividends, and derivative income, etc.
The sum of these revenues must be greater than the North American box office dividends, which means that a "Chainsaw" brought Chen Hao almost 300 million yuan in income!
And because the West has a better awareness of copyright protection, these benefits may bring Chen Hao a considerable income for more than ten consecutive years!
It is no wonder that Hollywood can sweep the world, if the box office dividend ratio of Chinese films is like that of the West, and other distribution profit channels, can also be so all-round and multi-channel.
Then the mainland's film industry will definitely be more active, and the entire film industry system and related systems will definitely be more and more perfect, with a huge market of 1.4 billion people, it may not be impossible to really wrestle with Hollywood.
The good news is that Davis said that by the end of January, the first batch of box office dividends should be able to call Chen Hao to solve Chen Hao's urgent needs.
At the same time, the rental of audio tapes and DVDs and the distribution of other channels will also start successively, and Chen Hao will have a stable dividend income every year.
In addition, Chen Hao officially established Haotian Film and Television, and has already filmed two TV series, "Li Wei as an Official 2" and "Golden Branch Desire".
At present, "Li Wei as an Official 2" has not yet confirmed the broadcast platform, but "Golden Branch Desire", a joint venture with Remington, has been confirmed to land on CCAV8.
Although it was not able to land on CCAV1, which is the most popular rating, it is already a huge success to be able to land on CCTV.
You must know that in the mainland at the beginning of the century, most TV dramas generally premiered on local stations first, and if the ratings were good, they would have the opportunity to be stars on local stations.
And if you go to the stars, you will generally be able to make money.
As for wanting to go to a dominant CCTV, either CCTV has participated in the investment, or it is a big production or the relationship is strong enough.
"Golden Bough Desire" obviously belongs to the latter!
And after selling the first round to CCTV, Haotian Film and Television's investment in "Golden Branches" has already paid off, and it has made a lot of money.
"Golden Branch Desire" has a total of 30 episodes, with a total investment of 8 million yuan, and after Li Ming's matchmaking, it was sold to CCTV at a price of 400,000 per episode, and a total of 12 million was sold.
Haotian Film and Television has invested 5 million, and you can get 7.5 million, this is still the first round, if the ratings of "Golden Branches" perform well, then the second round will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
The price may be greatly reduced next, but it is also a profit.
Now that they have tasted the sweetness, Haotian Film and Television and Remington are preparing to launch 1-2 TV series again this year.
