The popularity of Haotian Holdings is still fermenting, and Chen Hao has also received many phone messages from celebrities and artists he knows or doesn't know, including Sidan Shuangbing!

This time, Chen Hao did not refuse the invitation of several of them, because his new film needs to use three female characters.

If they can join, it will definitely be beneficial to the box office of the film.

At the same time, Chen Hao also received a call from Wang Jinghua, and this time Chen Hao could feel more obviously that there was a problem between Wang Jinghua and Huayi.

In the face of Wang Jinghua's intention to cooperate, Chen Hao was a little hesitant, after all, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.

However, even if Wang Jinghua wants to leave Huayi, it will be next year, after all, there is a contract between the two parties, and Chen Hao still has time to consider whether to cooperate with him!

At the same time, a new week has passed, and the North American weekend box office charts of the previous week have been released.

Affected by the Oscar nomination, the box office of "District 9" increased in the three days of last weekend, showing a reverse growth.

"District 9" grossed $8.56 million in three days over the weekend, surpassing last week's $7.33 million, while the single-week box office broke $10 million again, reaching 10.82 million, with a cumulative box office of $135 million.

Chen Hao also relied on the $135 million of "District 9", which surpassed Li Press's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with $128 million and "Hulk" with $132 million.

became the second-highest grossing Chinese director in the United States, second only to Wu Baige's $215 million "Mission Impossible 2".

It is worth mentioning that Wu Baige's new film, "Memory Rift", which was released at the same time as "District 9", stayed at the box office of $53 million.

Compared with the investment of 60 million US dollars, there is no doubt that it is a loss again, and Wu Baige's Hollywood journey is basically certain and has ended!

"The box office of "District 9" reversed the box office over the weekend, breaking 10 million US dollars in a single week!", --- Sohu Entertainment reported

"The cumulative box office of "District 9" is 135 million US dollars, about 1.112 billion yuan!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"In the box office performance of North America, Chen Hao surpassed Li Press, second only to Wu Baige!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

......

After the news was transmitted back to China, the media naturally reported it one after another.

Anyway, as long as there is news related to Chen Hao now, everyone is very interested.

Now Chen Hao has surpassed Li Press of Treasure Island, which makes Chen Hao even more talented, and he is blown by the media as an unborn genius.

Coupled with the exposure of Haotian Holdings, the media in the mainland is a bit of a myth about Chen Hao!

However, the disturbances from the outside world did not disturb Chen Hao, because after Haotian Film and Television resumed work, Chen Hao also officially started his work to promote "District 9"!

"District 9" will be released in the mainland on February 13, leaving only 2 weeks left for the crew to promote.

However, Chen Hao is not particularly worried, because "District 9" can definitely be said to be the hottest movie in the mainland recently.

After all, even the news network has been broadcast, and it is unlikely that the popularity will be low!

However, the crew still launched publicity as usual, and the male protagonist Donnie was also invited by Chen Hao to the domestic platform.

But at this time, Donnie was not the Iron Man who turned back as the prodigal son in later generations, although he also starred in Chen Hao's "Chainsaw" and "Hurricane Rescue", but his popularity was not too high.

Fortunately, Donnie and Chen Hao have learned a few sentences of broken Chinese, which can always make everyone laugh.

Just when Chen Hao was busy promoting "District 9", he received a call from Warner Bros. Greg Silverman.

Seeing Greg Silverman's call, Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, it seems that Warner Bros. has made up his mind!

"Hey, Greg Silverman!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Hello Chen, congratulations!" said Greg Silverman with a smile.

Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, it seems that he has succeeded!

"Congratulations on your four Oscar nominations, that's a great achievement!" said Greg Silverman.

Chen Hao almost held back a mouthful of old blood after hearing this,, what I want to hear is not this!

"Uh...... Thank you!" Chen Hao complained stubbornly.

After chatting awkwardly for a while, the two finally got to the point.

"I called, in addition to congratulating you, and wanted to talk to you about the company's selection of directors for Batman. Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao's heart moved when he heard this, "What's the result?"

"After much discussion, we hope that you and Nolan can co-direct, what do you think?" said Greg Silverman.

"Co-director?" Chen Hao was surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect Warner Brothers to come up with such a compromise solution.

"Yes, we looked at your proposals and felt that there were a lot of similarities and commonalities, so we thought that if you two worked together, we might be able to collide with more inspiration. Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao didn't answer when he heard this, but fell into deep thought, do you want to direct "Batman" with Nolan?

To be honest, Chen Hao's first reaction was unwilling.

Although "Batman" can indeed be called the greatest superhero movie, this title is not too important for Chen Hao.

"Batman" did make Nolan one of the internationally renowned directors in his previous life, but in the eyes of Chen Hao, who has a golden finger, it is not necessary to shoot.

Moreover, Nolan, as one of Chen Hao's favorite directors, and some of his movies are also in Chen Hao's plan, and he feels a little ashamed of each other.

Originally, if Warner Bros. directly agreed to direct by himself, Chen Hao would have pushed the boat down, but he didn't expect to get a co-director now.

I don't know if it's because the inertia of history is too big, or if Nolan's fortune is too strong!

After thinking about it, Chen Hao said, "I need to think about this! I really didn't expect you to give this plan!"

Greg Silverman said, "Well, you can think about it, but I really hope you can join the program." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it and get back to you as soon as I can. Chen Hao nodded.

"What's wrong, buddy?" asked Donnie on the side when he saw Chen Hao's appearance.

"Warner Bros. asked me to direct the reboot of Batman, but asked me to co-direct it with Christopher Nolan. Chen Hao said.

"Batman?" Downey was stunned, "this is one of the most popular superheroes in North America, much more popular than Iron Man." ”

"Don't you like Iron Man?" Chen Hao suddenly asked with a smile when he heard this.

"No, I like it, maybe because of my past, I like imperfect characters, Iron Man is such a superhero. Donnie shrugged and said calmly.

"Maybe in the future you will have the opportunity to play Iron Man. Chen Hao patted Donnie's shoulder and said.

"Wow, then I'm willing to star for free then. Donnie laughed.

"That's what you said, remember!" Chen Hao laughed when he heard this.

Soon, the time has come to February 12, and "District 9" will officially premiere in the mainland on this day!
