Chapter 292: Returning Home with Honor
Chen Hao was immersed in the gentle township of the widowed sister for three days and three nights, and he lingered until Hao Yi called to report the preparations for the new play, so that Chen Hao was reluctant to leave.
Before Chen Hao left, he specially told Smart to continue to follow up on the superhero copyright in Lionsgate.
However, Chen Hao got an unexpected news that Lionsgate had filmed a Marvel superhero movie.
It seems that under the temptation of the box office explosions of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", Lionsgate, which owns many superhero copyrights, has not been able to resist it.
But for Lionsgate, which started with B-movies, A-grade production was too risky, so the hero they chose was an anti-hero in Marvel, the Punisher!
Punisher Frank served in the Marine Corps and later for the FBI.
During an undercover operation, the situation spirals out of control resulting in the death of Howard Sent's son, who subsequently kills the Frank family.
Then when the law can't punish the crime, Frank finally becomes the "punisher", and single-handedly kills the entire underworld force!
The Punisher is a well-trained veteran agent who has neither mutated nor hacked technology.
Therefore, this superhero movie shot by Lionsgate has no special effects at all, and its cost is only $33 million!
And the movie will be officially released on April 16th!
Chen Hao was a little nervous when he first heard the news, but he didn't expect Lionsgate to have the intention of developing a superhero movie, but after hearing that it was a punisher, he was relieved.
Because Chen Hao is very unfamiliar with the superhero of the Punisher, there is no doubt that this "Punisher" will definitely not succeed in the end.
Subsequently, Lionsgate should also be because of this failed attempt, so that the superhero copyrights in their hands have returned to Marvel!
Thinking of this, Chen Hao is not in a hurry, so let's let this "Punisher" be released first.
At that time, maybe Lionsgate itself will lower its conditions and sell the copyrights of these superheroes to Tianqi Pictures!
Subsequently, Chen Hao contacted Davis again, for the natural copyright of Thor!
"Davis, we're still friends, right?" Chen Hao said.
"Of course, Chen, you are definitely my best friend and partner. Davis was stunned when he heard this, and then firmly reassured.
"Then why did you let me be kicked out of Sony America so easily last time?" Chen Hao asked, "Do you also think that I can control it better in this way?"
"Of course not, Chen, I swear I've done my best, but in the face of the company's vital interests, I can't completely back the company, and I'm sure you don't want me to be such a person!" Davis asked rhetorically.
Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said to the old fox, and then had no choice but to say, "Then forget about this matter, but I need you to do me a favor now!"
"What's the help, you say, as long as I can do it, I will help you do it. Davis said.
"I heard that the copyright of Marvel's Thor is in your Sony Columbia?" Chen Hao asked.
"Really, I don't really know!" Davis replied, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, this news was told to me by Marvel!" Chen Hao said, "I want to get the copyright of Thor!"
Davis thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, I haven't heard that the company has a plan to develop a Thor movie, so the company shouldn't pay too much attention to it."
In addition, the company allows me to maintain close cooperation with you, so this request should not be difficult to meet you!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" Chen Hao perked up when he heard this.
"Chen, I really don't know why you're so keen on Marvel superheroes. Davis said helplessly, "If you want to develop these superheroes, you need a huge amount of money, and I'm afraid Tianqi Pictures can't do it!"
"I just love these Marvel superheroes. Chen Hao said perfunctorily.
Davis shook his head when he heard this, Chen Hao said that he liked Marvel's superheroes before, and Davis still believed it a little.
But now seeing that Chen Hao is so active in wanting to win the copyright of Marvel superheroes, he naturally realizes the abnormality.
And Davis has been to Chen Hao's Beverly Hills villa, but there is not even a Marvel superhero in the room, which is enough to prove that Chen Hao is not a Marvel fan at all!
Therefore, Chen Hao should not go to such great lengths to get the copyright of Marvel superheroes.
The only explanation for Chen Hao's actions is that he is optimistic about the cinematization of Marvel superheroes, but this is something that even the Hollywood giants have not done.
With only Chen Hao and his Tianzhi Films, it is really a bit beyond his strength!
The only hope is that Chen Hao's film talent can turn decay into magic!
However, Davis naturally admires Chen Hao's talent, but in the face of so many Marvel superheroes, I am afraid that no matter how powerful Chen Hao is, he will not succeed!
After getting Davis's affirmative reply, Chen Hao hung up the phone and began to close his eyes, returning to the imperial capital, some of them were busy!
......
When Chen Hao stepped on the land of God's capital, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning on March 5th!
Chen Hao contacted the company in advance, and the driver Lao Li drove to pick up the airport.
At this time, Chen Hao still made some decorations, after all, as a commercial film director in China, coupled with commercial success, his popularity in China has long been not inferior to the three major directors!
In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Chen Hao thinks it's better to keep a low profile!
After leaving the hall, Chen Hao saw Lao Li from a distance, so he walked over to Lao Li.
It's just that when he was about to approach Lao Li, a group of reporters suddenly rushed out and blocked Chen Hao!
"Director Chen, do you have any special feelings about winning the Academy Awards?"
"Director Chen, can you show us the Oscar trophy?"
"Director Chen, can you tell us about this trip to the Oscars?"
......
Chen Hao was taken aback by the swarming reporters, and then immediately stood still, the experience of his previous life told him that it was better not to walk around now, otherwise it would easily cause stampede and chaos!
When the reporters saw that Chen Hao didn't move, they naturally just surrounded him and didn't move, but the entire airport hall couldn't help but cast curious eyes when they saw such a battle.
And Lao Li, who saw the situation, immediately rushed over, squeezed away the reporter and opened the way for Chen Hao!
"Director Chen, let's talk about this Oscar trip!"
Hearing this, Chen Hao looked at the reporters who followed suit with his movements, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"I was also full of surprises to win the Academy Award this time, I was really happy at the time, and even now I am inevitably excited to hold the little golden man!"
