Chapter 759 Courage (6000 words, 200 months)(1/3)
The next morning, Chen Hao opened his eyes and reached out to touch Kate Beckinsale beside him.
Thinking of the madness of last night, Chen Hao couldn't help but suppress the beauty again.
Kate was awakened by Chen Hao's actions. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Hao's handsome face getting bigger and bigger. Before he could make a sound, his red lips were blocked. A morning fortune began quietly.
An hour and a half later, the refreshing Chen Hao and the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale joined Liu Ye and attended the launch conference of "Edge of Tomorrow" together.
"Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for taking the time to attend the press conference of the science fiction action film "Edge of Tomorrow" jointly invested by Huaying, Haotian Movie, Pauli Berner and Guangxian...
Okay, I will leave the next time to you. If you have anything to know, just ask!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Director Chen, I heard that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a mecha science fiction film. Is it a huge mecha similar to "Pacific Rim"?"
"Edge of Tomorrow is indeed a mecha science fiction film, but unlike the huge mecha that is dozens of meters high in "Pacific Rim", it is just a slightly taller mecha exoskeleton." Chen Hao said.
"Director Chen, I heard that the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" is as high as 200 million yuan?"
"To be precise, the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" is 300 million yuan," Chen Hao said.
The actual funds used for shooting are 200 million yuan, but if you include publicity and promotion, it will cost at least 50 million yuan, and the cost of 250 million yuan is 300 million yuan. Chen Hao is already very modest.
Chen Hao said it lightly, but the reporters couldn't help but sigh that 300 million yuan is a huge investment.
Even "Red Cliff", which is known as the largest investment in Asia, has been split into two movies, so if it only takes only one movie, the investment is less than 300 million yuan.
The previous "Kung Fu King" cost 300 million due to the high pay of the two major kung fu superstars.
There is also Chen Hao's previous movie "2012", which also reached 300 million in investment and promotion.
Among the blockbusters released this year, the all-star lineup of "October Siege" costs 150 million, while "Nanjing Nanjing" costs 80 million, and the star-studded "The Founding of the Country" only has 30 million (all stars star in zero pay).
The National Master’s "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is said to be 80 million, but the audience after watching it can feel that the moisture is too great!
Therefore, Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" is definitely the highest investment in Chinese-language films this year.
"Director Chen, this year's new film of the National Master will be available in the New Year's Eve, and Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" will also be released soon. Are you still confident that you will continue to win the New Year's Championship and achieve three consecutive championships?"
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "This is the return work of the national teacher three years later. He is undoubtedly a strong competitor, but I am also very confident in my new film."
"Director Chen, don't you say whether you are sure to beat the new film of the National Master in the box office!"
"Haha, what I say doesn't count, what the audience says is." Chen Hao started to play Tai Chi.
"Where is Lu Chuan's new film "Nanjing Nanjing"?"
Chen Hao laughed and said, "Haha..."
The reporters in the audience couldn't help laughing when they saw this. How much he looked down on Lu Chuan, but I liked it.
Although the battle between Chen Hao and Lu Chuan's new generation directors has long been decided, the media is always keen on hype.
"Director Chen, predict the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow"!"
Chen Hao paused when he heard this, "The so-called sesame seeds bloom step by step, and we always need to make progress every year."
"Director Chen means that "Edge of Tomorrow" can break the box office record of "2012" in mainland film history?"
Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "Not only that, I think "Edge of Tomorrow" should be able to bring the box office record of mainland film history into the 400 million era!"
With a bang, the reporters made a noise in an instant. They were so confident, too conceited and too crazy!
That's a box office of 400 million yuan!
But then I thought about it, with Chen Hao's box office appeal and the rapid growth of the number of screens in the mainland over the past year, the ticket price increased, and the box office of "2012" also reached 371 million!
It seems that it is very likely!
"Hello Kate, what do you feel about working with Director Chen for the first time?"
"Wow, Chen is so awesome, it's really super awesome, it makes people scream!" Kate Beckinsale looked at Chen Hao and smiled.
"Liu Ye, how did you become the male lead in "Edge of Tomorrow"?"
...
"Chen Hao's new film "Edge of Tomorrow" is still a science fiction blockbuster!" ---Souhu Entertainment Report
"Chen Hao's new films have a total investment of RMB 300 million, creating the highest investment in domestic films this year. Another super science fiction masterpiece is coming!" ----Neti Entertainment
"Chen Hao ignores Lu Chuan and says "Edge of Tomorrow" will set a new box office record in mainland film history!" ----New Wolf Entertainment
...
The launch conference of Chen Hao's new film attracted strong attention from the media.
After all, Chen Hao just crossed the mountain of "Titanic" last year, breaking the box office record in mainland film history!
Having just been crowned the box office king in the mainland, his new film will naturally attract much attention.
Not to mention, the investment of "Edge of Tomorrow" is as high as 300 million yuan, which will attract strong attention if anyone is the director.
In addition to the media, the Internet is also full of discussions about Chen Hao and "Edge of Tomorrow".
Qinglian Earth: Finally, I have to wait for Chen Hao’s new film again, it’s another science fiction film, familiar recipes and familiar taste!
People on the Lonely Sands: "Edge of Tomorrow", the movie I'm most looking forward to this year, no doubt about it!
Emperor Du: Oh, we’re finally here. The last time I watched Chen Hao’s movie was half a year ago. I’m so looking forward to it!
The cold and arrogant devil: Unlike the mecha in "Pacific Rim", I really want to see it earlier!
...
In addition, major companies in the industry are also extremely concerned about Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow".
Especially Huayi and old pictures!
For Zhang Weiping, Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" will be the biggest competitor of "Three Guns", whether "The Founding of a Country" can win the championship in the year, and of course "The Founding of a Country".
After all, "The Founding of a Country" is a real All-Star lineup, and even the ones who play supporting roles are stars. If you give a pay, the pay will be as high as 400 million yuan!
And as a tribute film, there will definitely be a venue for the venue, so as long as the filming of "The Founding of a Country" is not too bad, it is a foregone conclusion to win a high box office.
But as directors, Han Sanpin and Huang Jianxing have the ability to discuss.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Weiping believes that "Edge of Tomorrow" is his biggest competitor.
As the return work of the national teacher three years later, although the investment in "Three Guns Shooting the Case" is not high, it is said to be 80 million.
But even Zhang Weiping himself was embarrassed to say that all the 80 million yuan was used for filming, and added a sentence to purchase the copyright, which cost a lot.
However, Zhang Weiping believes in the box office appeal of the national teacher, especially after the Olympics, the reputation of the national teacher has reached its peak, so even if the investment in "Three Guns Slap the Case" is less.
However, with the appeal of the national teacher, there is no pressure to win the box office at all.
But it is uncertain whether we can kill "Edge of Tomorrow", which has an investment of up to 300 million yuan.
...
As for Huayi, in addition to not wanting to see his old rivals make a big box office again, win the annual box office championship, and even break the box office record in mainland film history again.
Huayi also feels a little miscalculated about not having a blockbuster release this year.
Because they also received insider information, Pengcheng's GEM will be officially listed at the end of this year, which means that both Huayi and Haotian may be listed this year.
And if Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" sells well at the box office, it will undoubtedly be a powerful booster for Haotian Movie's stock price.
By then, Huayi and Haotian Movies will be listed at the same time, but the stock prices will be too different, so Huayi's face will be ugly.
But Feng Dapao just finished filming "If You Are the One" last year, and he is not a quick gunman like Chen Hao. His next movie will have to wait until next year as soon as possible, which is obviously too late!
The "Dragon and Phoenix", "Rabe Diary", "Chasing Shadow" and "Love in the City" invested in and produced by Huayi this year are afraid it will be difficult to achieve great success in the box office.
...
After reading the report, Lu Chuan was furious and wanted to hit someone. Chen Hao actually ignored him again, thinking that "Nanjing Nanjing" is not worth mentioning.
This is like a stab in the heart for Lu Chuan, who has put in countless efforts to create this historical film on World War II.
Not only that, Lu Chuan has been chasing Qin Lan now. Everything was going well, but suddenly Qin Lan clearly rejected him.
Lu Chuan was unable to ride his sister, but later he realized through Xiong Mixin that there seemed to be a shadow of Chen Hao.
The hatred of taking over his wife almost made Lu Chuanzhi Wall separate.
Now, Lu Chuan really wants to kill Chen Hao and quickly, and it is best to replace him!
...
There were various reactions from the outside world, but Chen Hao was unintentionally concerned.
After the launch conference, Chen Hao rushed to the crew and took everyone to burn incense and worship Buddha, and shared pig heads and fruits.
After completing a process, Chen Hao lifted the red cloth on the camera and shouted with a vaginal expander, "The Edge of Tomorrow" officially started!"
Then all departments of the entire crew immediately took action in an orderly manner and made all preparations before the filming.
The first scene Chen Hao chose to shoot was when Liu Ye was thrown into the barracks as a deserter.
At this time, the airport barracks where the crew is located were built by the crew according to the opinions of military experts and consultants.
There is a military base with a total area of more than 150,000 square meters, three runways, hundreds of various fighter jets, transport aircraft, armed helicopters, and a large number of armored vehicles and tanks.
However, most of them are empty shells, and only a few of them are real, used to shoot a panoramic scene overlooking the scene.
