Chapter 429 15+15

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

The final award results demonstrate Hollywood's commitment to stripping away the high-sounding wealth and returning to the essence of the movie. The film "Million Dollar Baby" that was favored by film critics seized the glory of "The Flyer", which was nominated for 11.

The film "Million Dollar Baby" focuses on art and focuses on the controversial topic of euthanasia. The script has profound meanings and urges people to make progress.

Although the scenes of the film "The Aviator" are grand, they are relatively too tedious.

Compared with Martin Scorsese's peak works such as "The Aviator" and "The Taxi Driver", "The Angry Bull" and "The Good Guy", both artistic and ideological are declining as he ages.

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

In terms of acting awards, Hillary Swank changed his figure 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 be enterprising, and deserved to win the Best Actress.

Jamie Fox, who won the Best Actor, reproduced the American black singer Grey Charles's unity of form and spirit in the film "The King of Souls", which was highly praised by the media.

In comparison, Leonardo DiCaprio had more strength when playing the legendary rich man Howard Hughes in the film "The Aviator", and less natural and calm as he deserved. It was also expected that he missed the best actor.

In addition, "The Man Without a Name" defeated his strong competitor "The Deep Sea" again after the Golden Globe Awards and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award!

It is worth mentioning that this is the first Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film Trophy in Mainland China. Chen has become a hero in the mainland film industry in Mainland China, and has also tied with Mainland China and Treasure Island!

The winning of "The Man Without a Name" will surely bring another wave of popularity to the movie. Its box office in North America is likely to surpass "Hero" and even "Beautiful Life", becoming the second box office runner-up of North American foreign language films after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

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

I believe Chen’s email address must be filled with cooperation invitations and photos of actresses, but if you have the copyright of Marvel superheroes in your hands, you will probably get what you want!”

---Los Angeles Times

...

After reading the media reports, Chen Hao couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It seemed that he was crazy about collecting the copyright of Marvel superheroes in the United States, and even the media was teasing himself.

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

Lionsgate Pictures is obviously a bit cautious. They can make at least $35 million from "The Hangover"? Now investing in Chen Hao's new films is $25 million? Whether it makes money or not, at least $10 million will be put into the pocket.

Chen Hao also immediately sent the result to Sony Colombia? Did the other party agree happily? Obviously someone is willing to share the risk of $25 million, and Colombia is happy to see it.

Here? Chen Hao's next movie "The Da Vinci Code" officially began preparations.

Last night, Chen Hao was free after watching two scripts? Compared to "007: Fighting the Royal Casino"? Chen Hao was more interested in the suspense and thriller script of "Da Vinci Code".

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

Currently, the total investment budget of "Da Vinci Code" is US$115 million? Chen Hao's remuneration is US$15 million + a 15% dividend in the North American box office.

Before, Chen Hao was able to get $10 million + 10% of the North American box office share when filming "The Ninth District"? However, he was the director of the editor and director, and this time he was just a director.

But Chen Hao is more famous now, and without his own investment, he will naturally raise the price.

With an impressive record that has never failed, and the box office of "The Hangover" reached $270 million? Sony Columbia agreed not long after considering it.

15+15 (North America), is this Chen Hao’s current salary? It’s still quite a distance from 20+20 (global), and I have to continue working hard!

After negotiating the reward, Chen Hao directly identified the two leading actors.

The male protagonist, is Chen Hao looking for Downey? The role of a scholar at Harvard University is not difficult for Downey.

The only thing I worry about is Colombia's attitude? Donnie is somewhat affected by previous negative drug news. After all, it is difficult to change in a short time once a person's impression is formed.

I'm afraid that this will make Colombia rush. After all, it's the A-level male lead with an investment of up to $115 million, and it's not so easy to get it.

However, Downey has not been reported for three years about drugs, and "The Ninth District" has once again proved his acting skills. The role of a handsome, handsome and beloved teacher in "The Hangover" has made Downey's popularity soar.

It is reasonable to choose him as the leading actor.

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

However, Chen Hao chose Donny, and then let Davis handle it.

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

Therefore, Colombia wants to find a French heroine, which can also stimulate the European box office.

When Chen Hao thought of French actors, his first reaction was French Rose.

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

Chen Hao watched "First Kiss" later. The initial impression began in "007: The Black Sun Crisis". Sophie Marceau in it is a perfect fusion of purity and sexy, which can arouse the most primitive desires of men.

Due to the influence of his previous life, Chen Hao really wanted to work in depth with Sophie Marceau.

The role is not difficult, and Sophie Marceau is very famous not only in France, but also in Europe, so choosing her to play the heroine can take into account the European box office well, which probably isn't a big problem.

As for other French actors, Chen Hao also has a memory of "This Killer Not Too Cold", and asks him to play an important supporting role.

Chen Hao sorted out some of his requirements for "Da Vinci Code" and sent it to Davis, asking him to handle it in a coordinated manner.
