Sony Columbia couldn't sit still after the North American box office of "The Hangover" officially exceeded $200 million.

Measuring Ruler Pictures was unable to establish its own distribution channels, and Chen Hao had always maintained a good relationship with Davis, so Sony Columbia was able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai area.

But now that "The Hangover" has broken 200 million at the box office, the two sides were a little unhappy before, and Sony Columbia is now a little anxious.

The circle is so big, and Chen Hao has achieved great success in 4 movies in a row, and he has long been the object of attention of major giants, so everyone knows who contacts him.

With Chen Hao's current name, he can completely put aside Sony Columbia and cooperate with other giant companies, such as Universal and Warner, which have been in contact with Chen Hao many times.

And among the investors of "The Hangover" this time, there is also Lionsgate, which is the first time Chen Hao has accepted investment other than Sony Columbia.

Although Lionsgate invested in superhero rights, this is undoubtedly a bad sign.

So just after "The Hangover" broke $200 million, Davis called.

"Chen, congratulations on breaking $200 million for "The Hangover", which is an achievement that many big-name Hollywood directors have not achieved. Davis laughed.

"That only proves that he is not a big name enough!" Chen Hao joked.

Davis smiled bitterly when he heard this, thinking that Chen Hao was ironic about Columbia, "In addition to congratulating you today, I want to ask you about your film plans for next year." ”

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, because of Thor's copyright issues, Chen Hao and Sony Columbia have a three-piece agreement.

Now Chen Hao also wants to open, and it is basically impossible to establish a perfect distribution channel in North America.

Little by little, it is too slow to build, and it will be squeezed out, and large-scale acquisitions require huge funds, and there is a risk that the US government will stop it at any time!

Therefore, we can only rely on a few giants in Hollywood, and in addition to cooperating with them, the best outcome is to take a stake in a giant company.

Of course, there is no chance yet, even if Sony organizes a group to acquire MGM in front of you, you can only watch it, and people won't take you to play at all.

If there is no distribution channel, then Sony Colombia can continue to cooperate, of course, with better conditions, Chen Hao can naturally turn around and cooperate with other giants.

Until there is not much entanglement of interests, Sony Colombia is still a good choice.

"What, have you already chosen the script?" asked Chen Hao.

"The script is still being chosen, did you write your own script?" Davis asked.

Chen Hao chuckled when he heard this, and agreed that if Chen Hao wrote the script, the copyright would be shared, "No, I'm just waiting for your script, but even if it is filmed, it will be in the second half of next year." ”

Davis nodded, "Then we will prepare the script, and I hope we can cooperate sincerely as before." ”

"Of course!" Chen Hao smiled, it was all just interests, "By the way, how about giving me the copyright of Venom?"

"Venom?" Davis was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You are very optimistic about Venom?"

"No, I just love collecting Marvel superheroes right now. Chen Hao said.

"But Venom is an anti-hero!" Davis laughed, fooling a three-year-old.

Now Chen Hao's love to collect the copyright of Marvel superheroes has also spread, and everyone has mixed opinions about it.

Some boast of his long-term vision, and some say that he is delusional!

"Yes, so I'm just asking, and if I don't give it, forget it. Chen Hao said, "Maybe I can ask Fox about the copyright of Deadpool in Fox's hand." ”

Davis couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, the current Chen Hao is not the Chinese director who had to rely on himself to speak out in North America.

Shaking his head, Davis immediately recalled the information about Venom.

Thanks to Chen Hao's blessings, Davis is now familiar with these.

Venom is actually not an independent copyright, he was obtained by Columbia because he was involved in the hottest Marvel hero Spider-Man.

In the 90s, Columbia bought out the Spider-Man rights for $7 million, which includes all the characters related to the Spider-Man comics, and Venom is one of them.

It's just that now Spider-Man, as the most beautiful cub in Marvel, has a win-win reputation at the box office, but Venom doesn't pay too much attention to it, after all, it's just a villain.

Davis really didn't expect Chen Hao to be interested in Venom, even most superheroes are not treated well, what does Chen Hao want Venom to do?

Is it really just a personal philatelic fetish?

After thinking about it for a while, Davis gave up, "I can help you ask, but it's obviously impossible to get it for nothing." ”

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, taking advantage of his current reputation to be so loud, he would definitely knock himself out, but as long as it wasn't too much, he could accept it.

What Chen Hao didn't expect was that after Davis looked for him, Chen Guofu actually came to him again, and he is now a consultant to Columbia Asia.

"Mr. Chen, it's a good luck!" Chen Guofu said with a smile.

Advisor Chen was polite. Chen Hao nodded.

Chen Guofu, everyone should be familiar with it, later joined Huayi as a production director, co-directed "The Wind", supervised the production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", "Di Renjie" series, and "The Second Generation of Goblins".

In 7 years, he has produced 14 films, 10 of which have a box office of over 100 million!

This year's "20 30 40", which represents Baodao Chongao, and Feng Dacang's "No Thieves in the World" are all supervised by him.

For the development and production of Chinese films, he has very rich experience and ability.

"I wonder if Consultant Chen is interested in joining Haotian Film and Television?" Chen Hao looked at Chen Guofu and smiled.

Chen Guofu was stunned when he heard this, today he was ordered to come to Chen Hao to pull a relationship, judging from the several investments of Columbia Asia Company, most of them lost money.

Especially He Ping's "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is a huge pit, and only Feng Cannon, Xing Ye and Chen Hao have earned.

Among them, Chen Hao is naturally Colombia's biggest gain, not only in the Asian market box office, but even directly in North America.

Now that Chen Hao has returned to China to film, Colombia naturally wants to intervene again.

It's just that Chen Guofu really didn't expect Chen Hao to come to such a show, that is, quite suddenly!

"Consultant Chen, who can write and direct, and has rich experience in film development and production, is exactly what the young Haotian Film and Television urgently need, if you are the production director of Haotian, then I can sit back and relax!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen praised it!" Chen Guofu moved when he heard this.

Over the years, he has been committed to the development and production of Chinese films in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait, but with the decline of Xiangjiang, many talents began to go north to pan for gold, and the mainland has become an unstoppable center of Chinese films.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Huayi and Haotian are undoubtedly the two film and television companies with the strongest comprehensive strength in the mainland!
