Chapter 40: The Finale Banquet

One day in Shenzhen, Lin Han's body was resting, but his brain was running at high speed, thinking about all kinds of things, after all, nowadays, he is not just a pure singer.

In addition, Lin Han is also a writer, and he has to keep at least two updates a day every night, no matter how late it is, and despite all the things, Lin Han still does not give up, because it is his responsibility to book lovers.

In addition to the writer and singer, Lin Han is also the boss, and he owns a Williams Film Studio, which can be renamed Williams Film after "Chainsaw" achieved a staggering $400 million global box office.

A large number of people have to rely on Lin Han to live on food, so Lin Han must not slack off, he wants to let these people who believe in him live a better life, this kind of life is interesting, not just for himself.

In addition to his directorial debut "Chainsaw", Lin Han also checked the situation of other high-grossing blockbusters.

For example, "Spider-Man", which was the opponent of the same period, has to say that as one of the pioneers of the golden age of superhero movies, "Spider-Man" was far more successful at the box office than "X-Men" released in 2000.

Although some movies cannot be judged by box office, in this capital-marketized world, box office is one of the criteria for measuring a good movie.

After seven weeks of global bombing, "Spider-Man" finally came to an end, of which the cumulative box office in North America was 450 million US dollars, ranking fourth in North American box office history after "Titanic", "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace" and "Star Wars".

The overseas box office outside of North America accumulated $540 million, and the final global box office of "Spider-Man" was $990 million, almost becoming the first superhero movie in history to exceed $1 billion at the box office.

In the history of the world's total box office, "Spider-Man" is much more dazzling, only after "Titanic" and "Star Wars Prequel I: The Phantom Menace", ranking third, followed by "Jurassic Park", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

As for "X-Men", which opened the golden age of superhero movies in 2000, the global box office is only 400 million US dollars, which is 590 million US dollars less than the rookie "Spider-Man", which is as much as twice as much!

In addition to "Spider-Man", it is also worth Lin Han's attention to Tom's "Mission Impossible 2", which is directed by Chinese director John Woo and starring Tom Tom, with an investment of $125 million, and finally gained $600 million in the global box office market, a return rate of more than four times, which is acceptable!

Because "Mission Impossible 2" was released first and the genre is the same, Lin Han's friend Matt Damon's "Spy Shadow" was inevitably affected, and finally the global box office was reported to be 300 million US dollars.

However, in terms of cost, the cost of "Spy Shadow" is only $60 million, and when it comes to making money, "Spy Shadow" can make more money than "Mission Impossible 2".

After watching other people's results, Lin Han began to think about himself, "Chainsaw" was a big success at the box office, and the sequel was naturally filmed, this is a cash cow, Lin Han can't give up.

But when to shoot, whether to shoot by himself or by others, Lin Han is still thinking about it, he is not a superman, and he will be too busy under many hats.

On the 12th, Lin Han flew from Shenzhen to Ningcheng, Guangxi, where Lin Han was still warmly welcomed, signing autographs, taking photos, singing to fans, and interacting with fans, Lin Han's day was busy and happy!

In addition to the signing of 20 cities in China, Lin Han also flew to Zhongzhou City in the Central and South Federation, Seoul in Zhuguo, Tokyo in Japan, Los Angeles and Ottawa in North America.

On July 25th, the last stop of Lin Han's signing meeting was Los Angeles, for the album of Lin Han, a cutting-edge director who was in the limelight in the director's industry, the Chinese in Los Angeles gave face, and hundreds of people came to cheer, which made the Los Angeles Police Department nervous and sent a large number of police to maintain order on the scene.

Another reason why Lin Han chose Los Angeles as the last stop of the signing meeting was that the "Batman" he invested in was completed in early July, and as the boss, Lin Han naturally wanted to attend.

However, Lin Han is a busy man, so the crew had to accommodate Lin Han and set the time of the finale banquet on the evening of July 25, in a grand ballroom at the Beverly Hotel, director Tim Burton, starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and a number of Hollywood actors and directors will be present.

This is not only the finale banquet of "Batman", but also the first official appearance of Lin Han in Hollywood after "Chainsaw", in which various interests must be intertwined, this is a huge vanity fair.

In order to show respect for director Tim Burton, Lin Han went to Italy as early as a month ago to find someone to order a black suit dress, and prepared a set for Yang Yi, and even Li Qiang's four bodyguards also made a set, which is one of the benefits, but Li Qiang secretly complained in private, this dress is really not conducive to action, however, Lin Han is just attending the banquet, and no one will assassinate him, and there is no need to be so nervous.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Han came to the Beverly Hotel on time, two black SUVs stopped smoothly in front of the hotel, and after Li Qiang opened the door, Lin Han walked down, alone.

With a little wry smile on his face, Lin Han didn't want to come alone, his original female companion was Yang Yi, who would have thought that when a woman had an aunt, Yang Yi, who was pale with stomach pain, couldn't come at all, Lin Han could only let her rest in the mansion and told her to drink more boiling water.

Shaking his head and putting away a wry smile, Lin Han walked energetically with Li Qiang's four bodyguards to the banquet hall of the "Batman" finale banquet.

As soon as Lin Han appeared at the door of the banquet hall, he immediately attracted the attention of most of the people at the scene, and many people were very interested in Lin Han, a cutting-edge director who entered the Hollywood box office at the age of 19 and reached the $400 million box office.

And those Hollywood actresses are more interested in the boss Lin Han, who invested $56 million to shoot "Batman".

It is normal for a woman to like a man's power and wealth just as a man likes a woman's beauty.

"Congratulations, the afterlife is terrifying! I don't know if my "Batman" can surpass your "Saw Horror" at the box office, alas, where will my old face be put then! Tim Burton came up and immediately complained to Lin Han.

Lin Han suddenly sweated profusely, and thought about the box office of "Batman" in his previous life, which was not very bad, and the film market in this world is much larger, so it is not a problem for "Batman" to surpass "Saw Horror" at the box office, after all, it is helmed by the talented director Tim Burton!

"You are too modest, I dare to guarantee that the box office of your "Batman" is at least 500 million US dollars, if it is not enough, I will pay for everyone to watch enough 500 million US dollars!" Lin Han patted his chest and assured Tim Burton that his pride was of course from the $160 million earned by "Chainsaw"!

Although there is still a period of time before receiving the money, it is almost there, so Lin Han has enough confidence, and without waiting for Tim Burton to answer, Lin Han waved his hand arrogantly and said: "In this way, I will add another $4 million in publicity expenses, which is enough for the cost of $60 million, which is also the standard of the medium system!" ”

For the increase in publicity expenses, Tim Burton naturally won't be too much, and he happily talked with Lin Han at the moment, including the editing and promotion of "Batman" and other issues.

After chatting for a while, Anne Hathaway, the heroine of "Batman", came over, raised her wine glass and touched Lin Han, looked at Lin Han with deep eyes, and asked slowly: "Lin, don't you have a female companion tonight?" ”
