Chapter 241 Two hundred million US dollars in three weeks!

The winner has been decided, and one side is leaving the stage.

In its second week, "Batman Begins" is still as unstoppable as ever, with no rivals taking in 70 million US dollars at the box office!

Still tops the weekly box office chart!

In just two weeks, the domestic box office has accumulated to 1.7 million US dollars. Warner is very happy. The company predicts that the domestic box office is expected to reach million US dollars!

Including overseas box office, there will be no problem for the global box office to break 500 million.

Two weeks later, the film was successfully released in China and has now been released worldwide!
In North America, the hot summer season is never short of rivals. On the second day of July, "Terminator 3" starring Schwarzenegger was also released.

It took first place with a box office of 6249 million US dollars!

"Batman Begins" still maintained its second place on the weekly box office chart with a box office of 4053 million US dollars in its third week, and it also successfully took in a box office of 2.1 million US dollars in the North American market after three weeks of release!
Previously, Chen An had negotiated with Lionsgate for the distribution of the movie "Saw".

The commission is 10%, not from Chen An, but from the total box office of the movie.

Those who are engaged in distribution are the ones who really make money.

If the producer makes money, the distributor will definitely make money. Even if the producer loses money, the distributor will not necessarily lose money.

If it weren’t for Chen An’s tough attitude, Lionsgate would have wanted to buy the distribution rights directly.

This was only agreed upon by allowing Lionsgate to invest in the subsequent production of the film.

"We've already negotiated with the film distributor. Director Wen, please try to write the sequel first. If it's a success, the company will start production on the second film right away."

After the discussion, Chen An called the other party.

James Wan on the other end of the phone immediately said, "No problem, Director Chen, I already have an idea, I will finish it as soon as possible and confirm it for you."

"That's great. I'll have someone contact you regarding the release and screening."

After saying that, Chen An hung up the phone.

Then he made another call, and it was an employee of the company, asking whether he had purchased the copyright.

"Boss, when Mr. McCarthy heard that you wanted to buy the copyright to adapt the film, he agreed without a second thought. The contract has just been signed."

"Then please send your thanks on my behalf and tell the other party that I won't let him down."

"No problem, boss!"

Chen An hung up the phone, having successfully acquired the copyright and not letting the two brothers snatch it away.

Anyway, I've already won the Best Director award once, so it should be okay for me to win it again, right?

Besides, I have already prepared the script, it would be a shame not to use it.

Without saying much, Chen An took the script, put on a suit and vest, hung the coat on his arm, called Zhao Xiong and set off directly for Warner.

After arriving at the location, Chen An took his things and went straight upstairs to Jerry's room, which now had an independent office.

"Hey Chen, it's a good thing you're here. Bell and others' promotion in Europe is almost over. After that, we can go to China together and hang out on the streets again."

The other party was a little surprised to see Chen An coming over but he was still very happy and said that Batman's success made his face full of smiles. However, he was interrupted by Chen An before he could finish his words.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Take a look at the new script I wrote and prepare for the filming."

As he said that, Chen An handed over the crew in his hand.

"New script?" Jerry looked at the script in his hand curiously.

"That's right, I want you to come and be the producer with me."

“Do you need company investment?”

"No, I'm investing this time myself and planning to ask Sony to distribute it. They've always wanted to cooperate with me, so I plan to give them some money."

Chen An shook his head. Warner’s investment was not needed this time as it was not an A-level production.

Jerry scratched his head and said, "Go to Sony? And you said that in front of me, a Warner employee. Chen, you are really bad."

"Then are you coming?"

"Come!"

Chen An looked at Jerry who agreed without hesitation. Haha, a good employee of Warner.

"Well, you read the script first. My company is ready to launch the project. You can contact and interview the actors. I won't force you to play the killer. We need a Spanish actor named Javier Bardem. The leading role will be either Heath Ledger or Josh Brolin. The leading actress will be Naomi." "You've even decided on the actors. No problem, I'll help you contact them."

"Look carefully, there will be surprises."

Chen An didn't stay long and gave a reminder before leaving.

In the hearts of the American country, one type of film occupies the most important place, and that is the western.

I believe the other party will like this script.

But I'm very busy and don't have time to wait for him to finish reading it, and I have a date.

"You're finally here, but I've been waiting for you for a long time." Naomi, who was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, said coquettishly.

Chen An, who had changed into a fancy beach suit, took off his sunglasses and said with a smile:

"Jerry was dragging his feet, which took some time, but fortunately we got there."

Jerry: You are not a human being!

Naomi was wearing a white swimsuit and looked at Chen An, who was dressed lightly, with a feeling of disappointment.

But Chen An took out a red rose from behind his back without any hurry and said, "I always send the wrong one. I might as well just pick a red rose and go to Yidong."

"I thought you forgot."

"I promised to give you a gift every time we meet."

Chen An handed the red rose to the other person, touched the other person's hand and smelled it.

It is true that giving a rose to someone leaves a lingering fragrance on your hand, and the book is not a lie.

On the Venice beach in Los Angeles, the golden beauty was very happy. She took the flowers and then grabbed Chen An's coat and lowered her head to nod.

"Just because you remember it now doesn't mean you will remember it in the future, so I remind you not to forget it."

Naomi said with a chuckle after the kiss.

"If you forget, just kiss me again and I'll remember."

"It's a beautiful thought."

Then she pulled her white and tender feet out of her slippers and stepped on Chen An's feet, twisting them a little, "This way you won't forget it!"

The other party didn't use much force to step on him, but Chen An felt very excited and he will definitely never forget it.

It's strange that Chen An sometimes feels that Naomi is more like a little girl than Charlize Theron.

"Stop stepping on it. I have good news for you. There's a script waiting for you to act in." Chen An pulled his foot out, squatted down and helped the other person put on his slippers.

By the way, I also pinched each other's toes.

Naomi, feeling her feet being played with, pulled them back immediately and knocked on Chen An's head with a red face. There were so many people here!

After Chen An scratched his head and stood up, Naomi asked unhappily, "What script?"

"I write."

Without saying much, after a brief explanation, Naomi agreed, "Well, well, it's my turn this time, right?"

"There is no such thing as whether it is your turn or not."

Chen An said I don’t understand what you are saying.

Naomi looked at the other person pretending to be stupid and didn't want to say more.

He took a sip of the drink in the cup and left his sun hat and sunglasses at the front desk. Then he pulled Chen An away from his seat and said, "Let's go. We agreed to play at the beach together last time."

Chen An, who was being led towards the beach, looked at the other person's plump figure. She was wearing a white bikini swimsuit, which showed off her well-proportioned, perfect Western figure. She was extremely sexy!

Chen An followed behind, constantly changing gears in public, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

I kept swallowing my saliva, feeling that tonight would be a tough battle.

I first felt the water temperature at the beach, then looked up to see the bright sunshine. The golden beach reflected some golden light, and the sea water was emerald green with a hint of light blue, sparkling and glittering.

The sea breeze, with a hint of salty smell, came from afar and brushed past the two of them.
