When "District 9" won 21.3 million yuan in the mainland in the second week, it also won $2.7 million at the weekend box office in North America.

The cumulative box office of "District 9" in the North American film market has reached 147 million US dollars, continuing to refresh Chen Hao's personal best North American box office record!

At the same time, "District 9" was officially filmed in countries and regions other than the mainland and North American film markets, and received a total of 83 million US dollars at the overseas box office!

This box office result also broke the overseas box office record of $81 million set by "Hurricane Rescue", refreshing Chen Hao's personal highest overseas box office result!

"District 9" also grossed $234 million worldwide, $11 million short of Lee's Hulk.

In the case that the mainland and North America have not yet been painted, "District 9" is likely to surpass and surpass Li Press in the global box office record of a single film!

And after the box office of "District 9" came out the next week, Chen Hao stayed in the imperial capital for a few days, handling the company's work while preparing for a new film.

After announcing Fan Jinsuo's new film to join Chen Hao, Haotian Film and Television announced that Chen Kun joined!

The news made the media buzz again.

"District 9" has only been released for two weeks now, and Chen Hao is preparing a new film!

Fast man, it really lives up to its name!

At the same time, the media was also a little surprised and curious that Chen Hao once again chose a mainland actor as the male lead in his film!

In addition to the three co-productions, Chen Hao's only two domestic films chose mainland actors as the leading actors.

Among them, "Comet" is different, because Chen Hao was still a fledgling and unfamous at that time, and the cost of the movie was only 50,000 yuan, so he couldn't afford to hire a superstar bowl from Xiangjiang Treasure Island.

In the subsequent "Moon", Chen Hao chose Xu Shanzheng to cooperate!

If "Moon" is also excusable, after all, it has just become famous, but the choice of Chen Kun from the mainland for the new film again surprised everyone!

After all, Chen Hao's choice of the male protagonist seems to be a bit non-mainstream now!

Take a look at the national teacher's "Ambush on All Sides", the male protagonists are Liu Dehua and Jincheng Wu, Feng Dacang's "There Are No Thieves in the World", and the male number one is Liu Dehua!

Xing Ye's "Kung Fu" and Cheng Long's "New Police Story" are both themselves, and they are both Xiangjiang superstars.

Only Chen Hao's choice of the actor is a new generation of students in the mainland!

At the beginning of the century, when the mainland film market had not yet risen, for the sake of the box office, the three major directors could only choose the Xiangjiang superstar as the male lead.

Therefore, Chen Hao's approach is too unusual!

So many reporters asked, "Director Chen, why didn't you choose the Xiangjiang superstar as the leading actor?"

Chen Hao said with a smile, "It costs money to invite a Xiangjiang superstar, but I am making a science fiction film, and I must do my best to save more money for special effects in the movie!"

The reporters couldn't help but nod when they heard this, indeed, if the investment in a science fiction film is used to invite stars, then the special effects will definitely be a mess, which can be called five cents!

It's no wonder that Chen Hao was able to make classic science fiction films, the script is one thing, and this is also the main reason in terms of capital investment!

"Then aren't you afraid that the actor will not have box office appeal, which will cause the movie to lose money?" the reporter continued.

""Moon" has proved that mainland actors, as the number one male, can also sell well at the box office!" Chen Hao said with a smile, "And the actor has no appeal, I have it, just do it!"

When reporters heard this, they could only praise Chen Hao's pretend, the North American box office exceeded 100 million, nominated for the Oscar, and the director who has no miss in all the films is awesome and coaxing!

Soon, after dealing with all the work at hand, Chen Hao flew to the United States!

After coming to the United States, Chen Hao went directly to Tianzhi Pictures!

On the way, Chen Hao called Warner Bros.'s Greg Silverman and politely declined the offer to direct a reboot of "Batman" with Nolan.

In this regard, Greg Silverman persuaded again, but Chen Hao still did not agree.

Greg Silverman regrets this, but hopes that the two sides can cooperate in the future.

After all, there are many high-quality projects in Tianji, and Chen Hao, as a newly rising genius director in North America, maintaining a good relationship is the basic operation!

Subsequently, Chen Hao dialed Davis's phone again, and in addition to congratulating him on his new appointment, he also asked about joining the MGM team to acquire MGM.

Davis's answer made Chen Hao ecstatic, Sony America is now in the process of forming MGM Holdings, and it is time to seek a consortium to join.

Although Chen Hao's Measuring Ruler Pictures is too small for Sony, as long as it can come up with money to help complete the acquisition of MGM, then Sony America is willing to accept it.

Anyway, Sony is just to promote its own Blu-ray, and the purpose of Tianji Pictures does not conflict with Sony America.

And the shares of the measuring ruler are very small, so why not cooperate.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Hao couldn't help but wave his fist, being able to join MGM Holdings is of great subversive significance for the development of the measuring scale.

If you can have your own stable distribution channels, then the measuring scale is not a rootless duckweed, and it will not be killed so easily!

With excitement, Chen Hao came to Tianzhi Pictures.

As soon as he returned, Smart followed up with Chen Hao's office.

"These are some of the more important things in the company lately, so take a look!" Smart said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao took it and asked while flipping through it, "Has Wen's "Chainsaw 3" started filming?"

"It just started up!" Smart said.

Chen Hao nodded, "These are the two movies you chose to invest in?"

"Yes, one is the horror film "Suspect Zero" and the other is the comedy "Outdoor Barbecue", both of which are not expensive. Smart replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, they are all low-budget movies, and they are all movie genres that are easy to be small and big.

After looking at the planning of the two movies, and looking at the selling points and budgets a little, Chen Hao feels pretty good, at least he shouldn't lose much!

"By the way, I've already refused to direct the new version of 'Batman', which means that I will direct a movie in the second half of the year. Chen Hao said.

"Then the company has four movies this year!" Smart said.

"That's right!" Chen Hao smiled and nodded, making 4 movies a year is actually not much for many American film companies.

Especially horror films, comedy films, youth films, etc., are basically set out of one model, and it is easy to mass produce them.

However, there are Chen Hao's new films, as well as "Chainsaw 3", which is obviously more guaranteed at the box office!

"By the way, how is the Marvel superhero copyright talked?" Chen Hao asked.

"Marvel doesn't seem to want to sell the rights anymore, but Lionsgate is quite willing to cooperate and sold us the rights to the film and television adaptation of Black Widow!" Smart said.

Chen Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the copyright of another Marvel superhero that is not very popular now has been obtained.
