Chapter 68: The Second Movie
Chen Hao looked at Director Tang who was leaving, thinking about what he said, obviously Huaying was releasing kindness to himself, but he didn't expect Han Sanpin to want to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster by himself, but he really looked up to himself.
didn't have time to think about it, Wang Jinghua had already come over, "Director Chen is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and even people from Huaying and Colombia came to congratulate him in person." ”
"Mr. Wang has won the award!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"It's too much to call Mr. Wang, why don't you call me Sister Hua!" Wang Jinghua said with a smile.
Chen Hao shook his head when he heard this, "Sister Hua!"
"Hehe, Director Chen must also know my intentions, I wonder if Director Chen is interested in joining Huayi?" asked Wang Jinghua.
"I started my own studio. Chen Hao politely refused.
"This is not a conflict, Director Chen can join Huayi as a studio, and then Huayi's resources will be open to you, and if you invest, Huayi can promise to invest five million in your second film.
As for the actors, we will try our best to cooperate, Fan Jinsuo, Li Lianhua, Chen Zhiming, Hu Jun, Xia Yu, and even Liu Jialing and Liang Jiahui, as long as the roles are suitable, they can cooperate.
There is also the release of the movie, which you can rest assured that what happened to Huaying will never happen to us Huayi. Wang Jinghua said kindly.
In terms of investment and distribution, Chen Hao should not have much of a problem for the time being, but when it comes to actors, Wang Jinghua's title as the first agent in the mainland is indeed not called in vain.
With her joining, both Huayi and later Chengtian have indeed increased their influence in an instant, and they have entered a period of rapid development.
The artists under him are also famous and powerful, but Chen Hao will not get on the boat of Huayi.
Not to mention that there is a Feng cannon, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and he, a latecomer, may not be able to suppress the head snake, even those things that came out of Huayi, Chen Hao did not want to get involved.
What's more, how could Chen Hao go to work for the big and small kings!
Chen Hao nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”
It's just that Wang Jinghua saw Chen Hao's face and tone, her brows furrowed slightly, obviously Chen Hao was not moved, could it be that someone gave better conditions? Or wait for the price to sell?
"Director Chen, I dare to say here, Huayi's conditions are definitely the best, and they are also the most suitable for you, you might as well seriously consider it. Wang Jinghua said sincerely.
"Don't worry, Sister Hua, the so-called shopping around, this is related to my future development, I will definitely consider it seriously. Chen Hao affirmed.
"Okay, I won't bother you, you can contact me if you think about it. Wang Jinghua didn't say anything more, and turned around and left.
"Chen, you're really on fire now!"
As soon as Wang Jinghua left, Davis from Colombia walked over.
"Average!" Chen Hao said.
"Chen, you're not ordinary right now!" Davis immediately shook his head when he heard this.
"Okay, let's talk about things!" Chen Hao quickly interrupted, he didn't want to discuss the breadth and profundity of Chinese with a foreigner!
"Well, in addition to congratulating you on the box office hit, I also want to work with you. "You know that we in Colombia have been working with Chinese directors since last year, and I think you should be added to this year's collaboration." ”
"How much can you invest?" Chen Hao asked directly.
"A million!" Davis said, holding up a finger.
Chen Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"I'm talking about $1 million!" Davis quickly explained.
This is about the same, the current $1 million is equivalent to 8.27 million life coins! This investment amount is higher than that of Huaying and Huayi!
However, Chen Hao said, "You can also see that I am not short of investment now!"
Davis frowned slightly when he heard this, then thought for a while and said, "If your film can maintain the level of 'Comet', we will consider bringing the movie to North America for release." ”
Chen Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, now that he is so short of money, it seems that he can make money from Lao Mei, although the box office may not be high, but now the exchange rate is 1:8.27, isn't this conversion high.
He made many movies in his previous life before he could be regarded as having a place in North America, but at the beginning of the century, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a box office of over 100 million in North America, and "Hero" also won more than 50 million, which shows that North America still has some interest in Chinese movies.
Chinese movies are cold in North America, mainly because of cultural barriers, as well as Lao Mei's face blindness, not liking to read subtitles, etc., but martial arts films and action movies are relatively less affected by this, so the box office is good.
In addition, science fiction films do not have such a big cultural barrier, and with Colombia, you can also find American actors, so that if you remove some unfavorable factors, the box office should be much higher.
"But you'd better shoot sci-fi films, or martial arts movies, Brother Long's action movies, so that North America will be more acceptable. Davis reminded.
Science fiction films are basically popular all over the world, and martial arts films are obviously influenced by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as for Brother Long, he starred in "Rush Hour 2" just hit the box office of $226 million in North America last year, which is the peak of Brother Long in Hollywood.
"Will Columbia let 'The Comet' be released in North America?" Chen asked.
"I have this plan, but even if it is released, it will not be large-scale, it is estimated that it will be screened, and then wait to sell butterflies. Davis said.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, anyway, "Comet" has been bought out by Columbia, and the box office has nothing to do with Chen Hao.
What Chen Hao wants is for the movie to be released in North America, which can play a role in his fame in North America.
"No problem, I'll contact you when the script of my next movie is written. Chen Hao said.
"That's great, I'll be waiting for your call. Davis laughed.
After dealing with the three of them, Chen Hao was about to go to find Yan Danchen, but he didn't take two steps, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian came over again.
"How is it, brother, which one are you optimistic about?" asked Yu Dong with a smile.
"It's okay to cooperate, just join. Chen Hao shook his head and said.
Yu Dong nodded when he heard this, and knew that this was the result.
Wang Changtian said with a smile, "No matter what, if Director Chen needs publicity, he can come to me!"
Chen Hao looked at Wang Changtian and smiled, "Don't worry, Wang Dong, I believe we will be able to cooperate soon." ”
"Oh, you already have an idea for the second movie?" Yu Dong immediately asked when he heard this.
Chen Hao nodded after hearing this, in fact, Chen Hao has been thinking about the second movie for a long time, and he also has a few plans in his heart.
It's just that after talking to Huaying and Columbia today, Chen Hao quickly decided.
Combined with the needs of both parties, Chen Hao decided to continue to shoot sci-fi films in the next film, but considering investment and market issues, it is still a low-cost sci-fi.
After all, no matter how high the current mainland box office is, it can't be much higher, if the investment cost is too high, resulting in too much loss for the investor, then everyone will not be so happy to invest in the future.
Of course, compared to the 50,000 yuan of "Comet", the cost must be a lot doubled!
