Measuring Ruler Pictures finally got the rights to several Marvel superheroes in the hands of Lionsgate.

As for the price paid, Lionsgate may feel that it has made a lot of money, and Smart also thinks that Tianqi Pictures has suffered a loss, but in Chen Hao's opinion, it is completely acceptable!

In the future, Chen Hao will definitely be able to prove this!

"How is the crew's preparation?" asked Chen Hao.

"The crew has already been set up, and some less important roles have been selected and placed on your table, you can take a look later, and now there are only a few leading actors who have not yet been decided. Smart said.

Chen Hao's new film to be filmed, the script was written as early as last year, it is a comedy with a large scale, it is very fun, and it is completely for comedy and box office.

At that time, Chen Hao wrote the script of this series of comedies in order to come to North America to make money, and now he has to finish filming anyway.

And Chen Hao also contacted Smart as early as after the completion of "The Man with No Name", and asked him to help form the crew and interview the actors!

So now the crew of Chen Hao's new film has almost been prepared, and only a number of leading actors have not yet been determined.

After Smart left, Chen Hao buried his head in the documents and learned about the development of Tianqi Pictures in the past six months.

In the next few days, Chen Hao has been staying at Tianqi Pictures, in addition to being familiar with the company, he is also casting for new films.

The new film is completely a funny comedy, so there are not too many requirements for acting skills, and the main actors are three.

Chen Hao's first thought was Robert Downey Jr., the two have collaborated on many movies, are familiar with each other, and already have a tacit understanding.

Downey's acting skills are good, and he is the Iron Man he booked, and Chen Hao also intends to make him his queen actor, just like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, it will also be a Hollywood story in the future!

"Hey, Donnie, how are you doing?" Chen Hao smiled.

"Hey, I'm okay, I'm busy filming!" Donnie laughed.

"Filming?" Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, "That's really unfortunate, I'm about to start filming a new drama, and I'm about to find you to play the leading role!"

Downey was a little moved when he heard this, he was able to get out of the quagmire because of Chen Hao's support, and later he was always looking for himself to cooperate, and now he is looking for himself to play the leading role in the new film.

Chen Hao is now a well-known director in North America, and several works have won both word-of-mouth box office, especially "District 9" at the beginning of the year with a box office of more than $150 million and won an Oscar.

Now Chen Hao can be said to be hot, and the actors who want to cooperate with him are grabbing a lot of them.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he found in his new drama in North America was himself, no wonder many media are speculating about the real relationship between the two!

"I've got a week to finish here. Donnie Dao.

"That's okay, filming will start in about two weeks, just in time. Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"It seems that we are destined to work together again. Donnie laughed.

"That's right, we're golden partners!" Chen Hao said with a smile, "By the way, do you have any actor friends who are closer, and you must have a tacit understanding." ”

The three people in the new film are good friends and have a very close relationship with each other.

If the relationship is the same in reality, then the shooting should be much smoother.

"How about Chris Evans and Mark Rufano?" Donnie said after a moment's hesitation.

Since he was willing to fall, he basically has no friends, and Chris and Mark also met during the filming of Chen Hao's "Chainsaw", and their relationship is good.

Team America and the Hulk?

Is this another Marvel version of The Hangover?

"Do they have a schedule?" Chen Hao asked.

"There should be, Chris just finished filming a movie with your little American girlfriend and is resting, and Mark doesn't know very well. Donnie laughed.

Little American Girlfriend?

Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought that it was the widow sister, and the two of them staged a good show at the Hollywood dinner at that time!

Or let the widow sister also come to play a cameo role.

"Okay, I'll contact them now, and if the schedule is right, we'll work together again. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, it's done here, I'll contact you again!" Donnie laughed.

After Chen Hao hung up the phone, he contacted Chris Evans and Mark Rufano again.

Chris was very excited when he received a call from Chen Hao, and he was even more excited when he learned that he was looking for himself to play the leading role, and even if he agreed, after all, Chen Hao's reputation in North America is still very well-known.

However, Marc Rufano did not immediately agree, because he had already received a good script before, and he needed to think about it first.

Chen Hao naturally agreed, but the other side also began to look for a candidate to prepare, so that Mark would not be able to enter the group at that time.

In the following days, Chen Hao met with the crew behind the scenes, while continuing to look for actors, and wholeheartedly prepared for his new play.

The time soon came to the weekend, and the "Hero" of the National Normal School and the "Suspect Zero" of Measuring Sky Ruler Pictures officially landed in the North American film market.

Three days later, the North American weekend box office rankings are newly released!

The Chinese film "Hero", which has been hidden by Miramax for two years and now has high hopes, dominated the North American film market last weekend with a box office of $17.8 million!

After becoming the most theatrical Chinese-language film ever released in the United States, "Hero" once again set many records.

First of all, "Hero" got a box office score of $6.74 million on the first day of release last Friday, setting a first-day box office record for a Chinese film in the United States!

Secondly, the box office of $17.8 million in the first week directly created a Chinese film, and it is also a box office record for Asian films in the United States!

Third, "Hero" became the first Chinese-language film to win the top spot at the North American box office!

The debut of "Heroes" in the first week can be described as stunning in the United States!

is not only an unexpected box office hit, but also the infectious color pictures, special effects scenes, and martial arts action in the film have amazed North American audiences.

Such a martial arts masterpiece with strong Chinese characteristics makes North American audiences feel like they are used to watching Hollywood films!

And not only the audience likes it, but the media in North America also praised "Hero", and even called it the best movie of 2004 so far, and the IMDB score is as high as 8.5 points!

The news of the North American box office success of "Hero" also spread back to China, and the domestic media was both excited and embarrassed.

As a Chinese-language film, it is undoubtedly a proud thing to be able to win the weekend box office championship in North America.

Just think about the time when "Hero" was first released in the mainland, but there was a lot of scolding, and now everyone has severely criticized the national teacher's "Ambush on All Sides", which is not embarrassing.

Both Zhang Weiping and the national teacher relieved the embarrassing atmosphere brought by "Ambush on All Sides" because of this news, and once again raised their eyebrows because of "Hero", which brought them huge profits.
