"Director Chen, I hope we can cooperate well next time. Charlize Theron stretched out his hand.

Chen Hao held the hand of the South African diamond, slightly cool and soft, "I wrote it down! There must be a chance." ”

Charlize Theron is indeed here for Chen Hao, but not for Chen Hao's beauty, but for his identity as a rising director in North America, after all, there are not many directors who can make many movies in a row without missing!

What's more, the movies directed by Chen Hao not only performed well at the box office, but also had a good reputation, and there was no film with a score lower than 7.1 on IMDB.

Chen Hao is obviously a rare director who can achieve a win-win situation at the box office and word of mouth, and he is so young and has great potential.

"Then look forward to our cooperation again. Charlize Theron laughed and left.

Chen Hao looked at Charlize Theron's back, but he thought of the Oscar curse, not the curse that will break the relationship after winning the actress.

But after winning the Oscar or actress, many people will become "box office poison"!

This was the case with Pepper in 1999, Julia Roots and Russell Crowe in 2001, Halle Berry and Denzel Washington in 2002, and Nicole Kidman in 2003.

This is because after winning the Oscar, they may be a little hesitant about the future path, whether to continue to make literary films and only seek the best actor, or to take on commercial films to enhance their commercial value?

It is precisely because of such vacillation that they will be interfered with when selecting films, which will affect their judgment, and finally hit the box office!

In fact, Charlize Theron also failed to escape this curse, and after winning the Oscar, she took over the filming of "Magic Woman", but the box office failed miserably.

At the same time, it also directly dismissed Lionsgate's attempt to bring the Marvel heroine Black Widow to the screen.

After "The Hangover" was completed, they had a finale banquet together, and the crew was officially disbanded.

Chen Hao returned to Tianzhi Pictures and was busy with the post-editing of "The Hangover", because it will be released in December, and the production must be completed as soon as possible, after all, there is still some time left for publicity.

"In less than one and a half months, Chen Hao's new film "The Hangover" was completed---!

"Is it a bit of a mess after 40 days of shooting?" --- Chicago Tribune

"Chen Hao's first attempt at comedy took only 40 days, which is a big surprise!" --- Los Angeles Times

......

When Chen Hao was busy editing "The Hangover", the North American media had some doubts about Chen Hao and his new film.

Even in comedies, Chen Hao is also a well-known fast gunner, but 40 days is a bit too fast.

And this is Chen Hao's first attempt at comedy, and such a fast speed even makes people wonder if Chen Hao is serious about this movie.

Even some media who want to win attention directly say that Chen Hao's two consecutive movies have broken 100 million at the box office, and he has been recognized by Oscars and Venice one after another, which is already a bit floating.

"The Hangover" is completely shoddy and used to make money!

After all, Hollywood, which has a highly developed film industry, has many small film companies that rely on popularity, following trends, and mass-producing movies to make a living.

In order to pursue speed and avoid the heat passing, they filmed very quickly, and they could even be released directly in 1 month!

But Chen Hao is different, he is already a well-known director in North America, and he doesn't need to do this at all.

If he does, he is completely joking with his future. 33 Listen to the book

Therefore, most of the media didn't think that Chen Hao was just trying to make money, but such a fast speed still made the media and film critics worry about the quality of the film.

After all, it is indeed relatively easy to shoot comedy, but it is not easy to make a good work.

Some film critics and media who are optimistic about Chen Hao's future are also tactfully persuading Chen Hao that he has a great future, don't get carried away, take it easy!

Chen Hao just smiled at this, in fact, a small part of the media was right, "The Hangover" is just for money, as for the speed, it's just because you don't have a golden finger.

Chen Hao left it behind after reading the news, and worked overtime to be busy with the post-production of "The Hangover".

The time soon came to October 29, 2004, and "Saw 3", which was the focus of Tianqi Pictures this year, will officially premiere today.

October 31 is Halloween and Sunday, but North America is used to letting the film be released on Friday, so it was changed to the 29th two days earlier.

Also premiering on the same day as "Saw 3" are the musical biopic "Ray", Lionsgate's horror film "Dreadchamber", and Nicole Kidman's "Birth".

There is no doubt that "Saw 3" is the most favorable contender for the weekend box office title, after all, with the foreshadowing of the first two parts, as the third part of the sequel, it is undoubtedly more fanbase.

It can also be seen from the release that the premiere theaters of "Saw 3" reached 3,167, setting a record for the highest number of theaters in the series.

The optimism of the media and theaters naturally makes Tiantian Ruler Pictures have greater expectations for the box office of "Chainsaw 3".

After all, this is the movie that Tiantian Pictures attaches the most importance to this year, except for "The Hangover".

Chen Hao was busy with the production of "The Hangover", and also gave "Saw 3" a platform, hoping to make the box office of the movie more explosive.

Soon, the three-day weekend passed in a flash, and the North American box office statistics for the new week were freshly released.

North American Weekend Box Office Charts (October 29, 2004 – October 31, 2004):
