Chapter 1159: Ninth Highest Box Office in Film History

Chen Hao scratched his head: "Is this considered showing off my skills in front of an expert?"

Deng Chao leaned back and leaned into the chair, pretending to listen attentively: "Do you know what the program team would have done if you said this when the machine was not removed?" Without waiting for everyone to guess, he gave the answer directly: "The program team is willing to put another check in front of you. Go ahead, Mr. Chen, as long as you say this check, it will be considered as extra compensation."

With the machine recording, what Chen Hao said may become a hot search headline news.

It was also because the atmosphere was good that Chen Hao was willing to say a few more words. The more you say, the more mistakes you make. This principle was instilled in him by his father Chen Yuanping when he was very young. Now he is not afraid of saying something wrong, but he is too lazy to argue with others about what is right and wrong. After so many years in the outside world, he knows that right and wrong are just what people think in their hearts. It is actually a very immoral thing to change other people's ideas.

"The continuous innovation of technology will make filming more and more technical. I don't like it. I still like more real things. If you want to impress others with real things, you have to show better pictures with higher difficulty. In the future, a science fiction blockbuster may only require actors to stick a film on their bodies to virtualize your person in a 3D stereoscopic way. You don't even need to shoot a movie. You can directly make a movie with a computer. That is more like making the animation we watched since childhood more realistic." "Today, the film and television industry has become polarized. It seems that everyone is pursuing something. Either it uses technology to continuously update to present more exaggerated and exciting visual enjoyment, or it returns to the original to present a more real story with filming methods. In the future, lip syncing will be impossible, and dubbing will gradually become a thing of the past. There will be enough good technology to filter out the impurities of live sound recording. I even feel that in the future, in addition to large scene switching, filming will continue the script to shoot, and it will no longer be shot one by one. What is needed is the complete emotions of the actors. Transmit, a crying scene is not good just because you cry earth-shatteringly. You need to express all these in the crying scene according to the plot and the emotions of the character. We are all actors, and I believe that we all have the ability to control the shooting of each scene and adjust our emotions before shooting. But if the crew erases these things that the actors need to do, the actors don’t have to worry about anything, just get into the characters again and again, and perform according to the life of the characters and the development of the story, I think it will be better..."

Chen Hao seems to be a bit off topic, but if you think about it carefully, the two or three minutes of one-shot makeup in "Departures" is considered a waste of time by even TV dramas, but in this movie, no audience feels that it is a waste of time. In those three minutes, everyone watched very seriously, and the little bit of real changes, from Chen Hao's facial expressions and movements to the makeup on Xu Jinglei's face, one emotion was shot for three minutes at a time, and Xu Jinglei's acting skills, which everyone praised, exploded. This is a fact, but can you say that it has nothing to do with the shooting techniques?

From "Departures" to movies, the six people tonight really conducted a big analysis of the industry they are engaged in. There are no outsiders, no cameras, and what they say can be regarded as drunken talk. Right or wrong is not important. Everyone speaks out their own experiences and ideas to each other. There is no so-called courtesy. These crowned and sugared words are completely thrown away. Just speak openly, including to Xiaodi. Teacher Chen said very sincerely that he had no idea about her performance before. Like all beautiful boys and girls, the circle needs such glamorous and beautiful people. This is an inevitable part of the ecological chain. In terms of acting alone, the setting of idol dramas is specially prepared for them. In addition, if they don’t make good progress, they can’t even handle the most ordinary romantic dramas.

This is a heavy statement. Teacher Chen also said frankly that Xiaodi’s progress in recent years has been very obvious. Starting from "Charlotte's Troubles", she played the school goddess and already had some appearance. In "Tiny Times", she has been a model of this kind of drama.

Talking about Deng Chao's favorite comedy, Sun Li's relatively successful period drama, and Chen Hao's works along the way, the six people finally had a good time, changed their clothes and went to Chen Hao and Xiao Di's courtyard. In the courtyard, under the moonlight shining through the glass roof, they made tea. Deng Chao also deliberately made a few candlesticks and jokingly called it a candlelight night talk.

In life, occasionally there are three or five friends who can talk to each other, and they get together to chat without scruples. That is at least a very bright node in a busy month of work life.

The filming of the program also gave the six people a feeling that it was worthwhile to come here that night. The rest of the time, they enjoyed the world of two people. The eleven-day journey ended here. When they left at last, no matter whether there was a camera shooting or not, they really couldn't bear to leave. They had already lived in love. If this was not a supporting product of the leisure villa, Chen Hao planned to spend money to buy this house. Even if he never came to live here again, he would occasionally come here to take a look and think of the eleven days and ten nights he lived here.

The shooting ended after getting on the car, but the journey did not end. When they arrived in Shanghai, Deng Chao and Sun Li played the role of hosts. The six of them had a small gathering at their home before they parted ways. Chen Hao and Chen Jianbin, two pairs of four, took a plane back to Beijing. After a short break, work will start again. Chen Jianbin's new movie will start shooting soon, and Jiang Qinqin will officially take on roles again. As for Chen Hao and Xiao Di, it goes without saying that their work schedules are full every year. The agent team was very busy squeezing out these ten days to respond to invitations from all parties and balance various work schedules. The company was in a dilemma, especially Chen Hao. The invitations from major film festivals alone made it difficult for the company. Domestic film festivals were not easy to refuse. Without a good reason, people would think that you, Chen Hao, were too popular to care about domestic film awards. Foreign film festivals were even harder to refuse. Smaller international film festivals were still okay. You didn't even invite a star actor like Chen Hao, and you still wanted to invite him. I would reply to you when I had time. Larger film festivals were a display of an actor's international image. If you didn't participate, it would be an offense. It was very important to find a good reason.

Chen Hao came back, and everyone, including Brother Tian, ​​breathed a sigh of relief. He had never thought that he would be busy with socializing because of the company's specific affairs. In the past, he would never have thought that he would refuse the people who spoke to him one by one. They were all good favors. Nodding and letting others owe a good favor was definitely a very comfortable thing. Now he didn't dare to agree. Whether to ask Chen Hao's opinion or not could be put in the second place. The piles of invitations in the office were the real reason why he didn't dare to agree to the favor.

In the company's office, Chen Hao looked at the data that had just been summarized.

"Forrest Gump" grossed $490 million in North America, 3.6 billion Chinese yuan in China, and $1.4 billion worldwide, making it into the top ten in the global movie box office rankings. After "The Shawshank Redemption" achieved a good result of fourth place, it ranked ninth. Chen Hao also successfully promoted himself to the position of a world-class film director and actor with these two films, and is also the most powerful film producer. It is a miracle that two literary films can break through the siege of commercial blockbusters.

Once upon a time, "Titanic" was a love movie, and it stood out among commercial blockbusters. It was released twice around the world and accumulated a box office of 2.1 billion. At that time, there was no comparison and no harm. When Chen Hao's two works came out, "Titanic" could be called a love special effects blockbuster. The sinking of the ship and the special effects of the whole process were also one of the key points of the success of this film. Unlike Chen Hao's films, there were no special effects in "The Shawshank Redemption" and the technical special effects in "Forrest Gump" could only be regarded as creating new ways. They were not the characteristics of commercial blockbusters. Because of this, the achievements created by Chen Hao's two films were so shocking.

Looking at the data in his hand and the evaluation of some super-large media, Chen Hao smiled. Success will make anyone happy. He leaned back in the chair and turned the pages of the information in his hand.

"Departures" is close to being released. The North American box office has exceeded 200 million. It is estimated that it will be around 230 to 240 million when it is released. It is very impressive for a Chinese production to have such a result.

The box office in Hong Kong exceeded 200 million, becoming the historical champion of the movie box office in the region, crushing all Hollywood blockbusters.

The box office in Taiwan exceeded 300 million, also the historical champion of the movie box office in the Taiwan region, and it was far superior to all other countries.

Other Asian countries were the craziest, providing a total of nearly 3 billion Chinese yuan in box office. This was still an incomplete statistic. The time difference in settlement and the exchange between currencies made this data only a vague report, but the vague report was already very amazing.

Looking at these data, Chen Hao had to have an idea, that is, this year was another bumper year for him. Not counting the two movies, how much did he earn from the box office alone?

After thinking for a long time, the tax issues of various countries, the share ratio, currency exchange and various possible tax issues, although he knew his ultimate share ratio in the two movies, it was really difficult to calculate how much money he could get from these box office.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Hao left his office. In a separate office with floor-to-ceiling glass walls across the corridor, there was a work team dedicated to him. There were people affiliated with the Finance Department and the Legal Department, who would usually run between the two sides, and when there was work here, they would focus on this side. There are dedicated assistants, dedicated clerks, and dedicated liaison personnel. More than a dozen people are in a large office. Chen Hao's style continues. The office environment provides everyone with the best quality. Everyone can relax a little at ordinary times, but when there is work, everyone has to tighten the string.

He came over, and everyone stood up. Two financial personnel were conducting various intense calculations and communications with lawyers from the legal department.

The numbers are too huge. At present, relevant personnel in the entire company are conducting intense calculations. The personnel here need to confirm whether the money that finally reaches the boss is reasonable. The current settlement figures are already very scary.
