"Last night, the 77th Academy Awards officially ended at the Kodak Theater, and "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Aviator" staged a two-way battle!

The final result shows Hollywood's efforts to strip away the grandiose and return to the essence of cinema, with the critics' favoured film "Million Dollar Baby" stealing the 11-nominated "Aviator".

The film "Million Dollar Baby" attaches great importance to art and focuses on the controversial topic of euthanasia, and the script has a deep meaning and is inspiring.

Although the film "The Aviator" is grandiose, it is relatively too protracted and lengthy.

"The Aviator" and "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas" and other works of Martin Scorsese at his peak, both artistically and intellectually have declined as he ages.

Therefore, although "The Aviator" won the most 5 trophies, "Million Dollar Baby" became the biggest winner of the Academy Awards with 4 awards of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

In terms of acting awards, Hilary Swank changed her body shape and appearance for the role of "Million Dollar Baby", which not only showed the subtle changes in the character's emotions, but also showed the character's ambition to forge ahead, and deservedly won the Best Actress award.

Jamie Foxx, who won the Best Actor, was praised by the media for his reappearance of the black American singer Ray Charles in the film "The King of Soul Singers".

In comparison, Leonardo DiCaprio played the legendary billionaire Howard Hughes in the film "The Aviator" with a little more strength, less natural and calm, and it is not surprising that he missed out on Best Actor.

In addition, "The Man Without a Name" once again defeated its strong rival "Deep Sea Sleep" after the Golden Globe Award and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award!

It is worth mentioning that this is the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the Chinese mainland, Chen has become the hero of the Chinese mainland film industry, and it has also made the Chinese mainland and the Chinese treasure island tied!

The award of "The Man with No Name" will definitely bring another wave of popularity to the film, and its North American box office is likely to surpass "Hero" and even "Life is Beautiful", becoming the second place in the North American foreign language film box office after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Coupled with the fact that the North American box office of "The Hangover" has just exceeded $270 million, this talented director from China is definitely one of the most dazzling directors in North America in 2004.

I believe that Chen's mailbox must be filled with cooperation invitations and photos of actresses now, but if you have a Marvel superhero copyright in your hand, it is estimated that you will be able to get your wish!"

......

After reading the media reports, Chen Hao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, it seems that his crazy collection of Marvel superhero copyrights is known to the whole United States, and even the media are ridiculing him.

In addition, Chen Hao received a reply from Lionsgate early in the morning, and they were willing to invest in Chen Hao's new film, but they were only willing to invest $25 million.

Lionsgate is obviously also a little cautious, they can make at least $35 million from "The Hangover", and now invest $25 million in Chen Hao's new film, whether it makes money or not, at least $10 million is in the pocket.

Chen Hao also immediately sent the results to Sony Colombia, and the other party readily agreed, obviously someone is willing to share the $25 million risk, and Colombia is happy to see it.

At this point, Chen Hao's next film "The Da Vinci Code" officially began preparations.

Last night, Chen Hao read two scripts when he had nothing to do afterwards, compared with "007: vs. Casino Royale", Chen Hao was more interested in the suspenseful and thriller script of "The Da Vinci Code".

Without much hesitation, Chen Hao chose "The Da Vinci Code" and quickly informed Davis.

At present, the total investment budget of "The Da Vinci Code" is $115 million, and Chen Hao's remuneration is $15 million + 15% dividend at the North American box office.

Chen Hao was able to get $10 million + 10% of the North American box office share when he was filming "District 9" before, but that was the production and director who held three positions, and this time he was simply a director.

But Chen Hao is now more famous than before, and without his own investment, he naturally wants to increase the price.

With an impressive record of never missing a beat, and "The Hangover" grossed $270 million, Sony Columbi didn't think long before agreeing.

15+15 (North America), this is Chen Hao's salary now, there is still a lot of distance from 20+20 (global), and you have to continue to work hard!

After negotiating the remuneration, Chen Hao directly determined the two leading actors.

The actor, Chen Hao is still looking for Downey, a professor of religious semiotics at Harvard University and a scholar, the role of Downey is not very difficult.

The only thing to worry about is Colombia's attitude, and Donnie is still somewhat influenced by the negative news about drugs before, after all, it is difficult to change people's impressions in a short period of time once they are formed.

I'm afraid that this will make Colombia hold on, after all, it is an A-level production actor with an investment of up to $115 million, and it is not so easy to get it.

However, Downey has not had any negative news about drugs for 3 years, and "District 9" has once again proved his acting skills, and the role of the handsome and chic, bad and cute teacher in "The Hangover" has made Downey's popularity skyrocket.

It makes sense to choose him as the leading actor.

This is the disadvantage of not being an investor, I don't have 100% authority, and I have a lot of concerns.

However, Chen Hao chose Donnie, and then let Davis do it.

As for the heroine, because France is involved in the script, many scenes are filmed in France.

Therefore, Colombia wants to find a French heroine, and by the way, stimulate the European box office.

Thinking of French actors, Chen Hao's first reaction was French roses.

The first actress that Chen Hao thought of was the third French rose, Sophie Marceau!

"First Kiss", Chen Hao came to see it later, and the first impression began in "007: Black Sun Crisis", in which Sophie Marceau is really a perfect fusion of innocence and sexiness, which can arouse men's most primitive desires.

Due to the influence of his previous life, Chen Hao really wanted to cooperate with Sophie Marceau for an in-depth time.

The role is not difficult, and Sophie Marceau is extremely prestigious not only in France, but also in the whole of Europe, so choosing her to play the heroine can take into account the European box office very well, and it should not be a big problem.

As for other French actors, Chen Hao has the impression that there is a Jean Renault in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", so let's find him to play an important supporting role.

Chen Hao sorted out some of his requests for "The Da Vinci Code" and sent them to Davis for him to deal with them as a whole.

I'll leave the rest to Colombia, anyway, I'm a mercenary, take money to do things, by the way, make a wish, and it's over!
