Chapter 399: Oscar Nomination
Chen Hao glanced at the voting results of the annual box office champion and put it aside, at this time he was sending an email to Smart.
Because the idea of acquiring Marvel that Smart told Chen Hao was like a seed, it has been lingering in Chen Hao's mind and has begun to take root.
After all, it comes from the future, and Chen Hao knows better than anyone how valuable Marvel is in the future!
So, Chen Hao wanted Smart to find someone to help him investigate the specific valuation of Marvel now.
The current Marvel is very different from the Marvel that swept the world in later generations, because only the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series have exploded at the box office, and other superhero movies are either losing money or will save their capital.
Although Marvel no longer sells superhero copyrights, it is only barely surviving on the copyright dividends sold, and life is a mess.
Therefore, at this time, the value of Marvel is not only far from being reflected, but it is unanimously not optimistic.
In addition, the current Marvel still has a huge amount of foreign debt, and in everyone's opinion, Marvel should be a non-performing asset!
It's no wonder that Marvel gambled all its net worth to take out a loan from Wall Street in 2006 to shoot "Iron Man".
And now, the acquisition of Marvel should really not cost much, of course, this is relative to the later Disney acquisition price.
Judging from Chen Hao's current assets, if you want to win Marvel, you must have a loan, but fortunately, with Tianqi Pictures, the loan mortgage should not be a problem.
Now that Marvel has more than 5,000 superheroes, this is getting weaker and weaker in originality, and the future of IP is undoubtedly a priceless asset.
Even if Marvel is eventually acquired by Disney, then it will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and it won't lose anything!
So, Chen Hao wrote this email to Smart and asked him to find someone to investigate the situation first.
As for the real acquisition, it will have to wait until the investors found by the headhunter are in place, and there are professionals to execute, which is undoubtedly convenient and insured.
As soon as she finished sending the email, Xing Aina walked in, "Mr. Chen." ”
"Sister Na!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"Let me give you a brief update on UC Univision. Xing Aina hesitated.
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he saw this, "What's wrong?
Xing Aina nodded when she heard this, "They didn't agree to our acquisition plan. ”
Chen Hao frowned slightly when he heard this, "What is the final result?"
"The final result is to invest 4 million yuan to obtain a 20% stake in UC Youshi, and enjoy the priority of the next financing. Xing Aina said embarrassedly.
Obviously, this result is far from Chen Hao's original request.
Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard this, it seems that professional things will have to be handled by professional people in the future.
UC Youshi only got 20%, and Kugou only got 35%, so the estimated price will be different next time!
"Okay, hard work, Sister Na will go back to your old profession in the future, be in charge of the company's screenwriting department, and serve as a producer at the same time!" Chen Hao said.
Xing Aina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, "No problem, so I can do it steadily!"
"The screenwriter should be fine for the time being, you are now in charge of Haozi's "Green Meadow" participating in the Berlin Film Festival. Chen Hao said.
"Okay. Xing Aina said with a smile, she originally wanted to follow, it seemed that Chen Hao was taking care of the two of them.
Now that the two are together, obviously Chen Hao and Hao Yi know about it.
After dealing with the company's affairs, Chen Hao continued to prepare for the new film.
The male protagonist is confirmed to be Chow Yunfa, the commander of the spaceship is played by Yu Feihong, Son Ye-jin is the system operator in the space 6-person group, and Chen Kun plays the role of medical officer.
The Space 6 also have a chemist and pilot.
Chen Hao is going to find Deng Chao to play the driver, this is a character with a funny personality, which is very in line with Deng Chao's own character, and it should not be difficult to play.
Next, there are chemists, the head of the Mars project, the spokesperson of the space agency, the ground commander, the head of the space agency, the correspondent, etc. are all supporting roles that are not small, and actors need to be found.
Among them, Chen Hao, the person in charge of the Mars project, plans to find Xu Shanzheng, and the correspondent is ready to find Liu Tianxian.
There are no specific candidates for the other roles for the time being, so leave it to the casting director!
After Chen Hao devoted himself to the preparation of the new film, time passed quickly, and it came to January 25, 2005 in a blink of an eye!
On this day, Frank Pearson, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts, and Adrian Brody, the star of "The Pianist", announced the list of nominees for the 77th Academy Awards!
Among them, the popular film "The Aviator" became the biggest winner in the nomination list, shortlisted for a total of 11 awards, directly equaling the nomination record of "The Lord of the Rings 3" last year.
Another big hit, "Million Dollar Baby," fell a step further behind, with a total of seven Oscar nominations.
"A Cup of Life", which performed well at the Golden Globe Awards, also won 5 nominations.
In addition, Chen Hao's "The Man Without a Name" was selected for the final list of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and "The Long Sleep of the Deep Sea", "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", "Like Paradise" and "The Destruction of the Empire" occupied the other four places.
It is worth mentioning that although "Ambush on All Sides" did not qualify for the Olympics, its cinematographer Zhao Xiaoding was nominated for Best Cinematography.
The last time he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography was Bao Dexi of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and finally won the award!
After the list of nominees for the 77th Academy Awards was announced, the media in China soon reported on the list.
"The Aviator leads the Oscars with 11 nominations, and "The Man Without a Name" is shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!" --- Sohu Entertainment reported

"Two Chinese films were nominated for 1 Oscar each!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
......
The announcement of the list of Academy Award nominees instantly attracted global attention, and the mainland won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film because of "The Man with a Name", so more people paid attention than in previous years.
And after "The Man with a Name" won the Oscar nomination, the media and the Internet were all boiling!
Stardust: Chen Hao really lived up to expectations and rushed into the final 5!
The cold and ruthless big devil: win the Golden Globe Award first, and then win the Oscar, it's perfect!
Qinglian Earth: I won the Golden Ball before, and this time the Oscar hope has increased greatly!
China Entertainment Reporter: I hope Chen Hao can bring the first Oscar statuette to the mainland!
......
The Oscar nomination for "The Man Without a Name" was actually expected by everyone, after all, it won the Golden Globe.
And "The Man with No Name" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which is the 8th nomination for a Chinese-language film.
In the previous 7 times, the national teacher accounted for 3 times, Li Zhao accounted for 3 times, and 1 time was Chen Kaige.
Among them, only Li Press's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, and the fly in the ointment is that the registration area of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Treasure Island.
If you really want to think about it, the mainland has never won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, no, it should have never won an Oscar!
