After Chen Hao explained that Chang Hongsong had set up a special effects company, he contacted Davis.

"Hello, Chen, what's the matter?" Davis said gleefully.

The North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" exceeded 100 million, which made Davis leak his face in the company, even if the box office was not as high as "Anger Management", it still made Davis very happy.

After all, the cost of the two movies can be 20 million and 75 million respectively, and the gap is too big.

And apparently, Hurricane Rescue brought more benefits to Columbia.

What's more, according to the current box office, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is not much different from the box office of "Anger Management"!

In addition, the mainland film market has been unlocked, and films such as "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Mobile Phone" invested by Columbia Asia Films will also be released as scheduled within the year.

The current Davis can be said to be in good spirits at happy events, and he almost floats when he walks.

"I'm ready to start making my next movie!" Chen Hao said.

"What?" Davis was stunned for a moment, and immediately sat up straight.

Chen Hao is the only director he can handle and work closely with now.

As for the directors who cooperate with Huaxia, even if it is Feng Dapao and others, at most, they have made a difference in the mainland of Huaxia, and none of them have proven themselves in North America.

And if Davis wants to successfully return to North America and take control of Colombia, he can only rely on Chen Hao, who has become famous in North America.

Therefore, Davis attaches great importance to every work of Chen Hao now, and sometimes he even cares more about the success or failure of the movie than Chen Hao.

After all, it's about his career and future.

"Is the script already written?" Davis asked, "what type, and how much is the investment?"

Chen Hao heard Davis's barrage of questions and said with a smile, "The script has been written a long time ago, this time it is a science fiction film, but the investment is not too high, about 30 million US dollars!"

Chen Hao's new film is a science fiction film, and there are also aliens and spaceships, but the spaceship does not need to fire in combat, just hovers there, and only the film will fly at the end.

The other main special effects shots are aliens, which are mostly close-ups of the male protagonist and the alien leader, and other aliens don't need to be portrayed too finely.

To be honest, this is a special effects science fiction film, but the most successful is the script of the film.

The multi-layered social meaning it expresses, as well as the human thinking it arouses, are the important reasons why it can become a classic science fiction movie.

"Sci-fi is only $30 million?" Davis frowned upon hearing this.

After the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" exceeded 100 million, Chen Hao's value has long been incomparable.

As far as he is concerned, it will not be too difficult for Colombia to invest $50 million in Chen Hao's new film now.

"Chen, you are now a director with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, you don't have to save as much as before, you just ask for A-grade production, I can help you get it. Davis swore by it.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, he didn't want to save money, but to make money.

If the investment cost is too high, then the proportion of investment he can take will be compressed, and then he will work for Colombia completely, so he is not so stupid.

"Around $30 million, it's no problem to float up another 5 million. Chen Hao said, "However, my salary should have increased!"

Davis laughed, "Of course, you are not the same as before. ”

Chen Hao thought for a while and said, "In the new film, I am still a producer, director and screenwriter, and I want 5 million US dollars, plus 10% of the global box office!"

After the success of "Saw Horror", Chen Hao did not have too high requirements for the salary, after all, he felt that this achievement was not enough.

So even if he wore three hats in "Hurricane Rescue", he only took $1.5 million.

You must know that North American producers are not Chinese producers, and Hollywood producers are not much lower than big-name directors and actors.

But now that the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" has exceeded 100 million, Chen Hao has enough confidence to directly ask for a share of the box office.

Davis frowned slightly after hearing this, the salary of 5 million is acceptable, after all, Chen Hao already has two blockbuster movies, and he has three positions, or even more.

It's just that 10% of the global box office score is a bit difficult to do.

Although it is not uncommon for actors and directors to participate in box office sharing in Hollywood, after all, this is an excellent solution to share the risk and make directors and actors work harder, and it is also an excellent solution to cope with Hollywood's higher and higher salaries.

In Hollywood, the salary of 20 million is basically the cap, and the rest will basically only be divided no matter how high it is, which is also the meaning of the 20 million club, taking 20 million means that you have reached the peak of the salary you can get.

Just like Christopher Nolan, who has become more and more mythical in later generations, his highest salary is $20 million, and of course, he also has a 20% share of the global box office.

In fact, for the filmmaker, they are also more willing to reduce the salary, give box office shares, and let the director and actors take risks together, either earning together or losing together.

Davis has been in Hollywood for many years, and he felt understandable when he heard Chen Hao ask for a box office share, but the global box office share of 10% was a bit too high.

After all, Chen Hao's new film is only the third Hollywood movie, and he has not yet reached the age of 23, if the movie continues to be successful, then how should Chen Hao's salary be given in the future?

"Chen, we are also old friends, I am willing to give you the compensation you deserve, but I also have to think about the company, otherwise we may not be able to cooperate so closely in the future. Davis smiled wryly.

Chen Hao said easily when he heard this, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"A 10 percent global box office share is unlikely, so how about we switch to a 10 percent share of the North American box office and then increase the pay to $8 million?" Davis proposed.

He is willing to befriend Chen Hao, but he also has to give the company an explanation, and at the same time, he can't force Chen Hao to be in a hurry, because there are too many companies that want to cooperate with Chen Hao now.

Therefore, he can only balance Chen Hao and the company as much as possible, and strive for a salary that satisfies both parties.

""Chainsaw" is 55 million in North America and 48 million overseas, "Hurricane Rescue" is now 110 million in North America, and there are nearly 80 million overseas.

Davis shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "That's it, Chen, $10 million, plus a 10% share of the North American box office, how about it? This price is already very high, so I have to explain it to the company." ”

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, and he also knew that the price was too high, so he said, "Okay, for your sake, I will suffer a loss, and I will be paid this salary." ”

Davis was relieved when he heard this, the price was indeed high, and he had to convince the company, but he also had some deliberate elements, because only when the price was high could he force back those hungry wolves who wanted to lure Chen Hao to cooperate.
