The best director ever

Chapter 159 "The Dark Knight"

Police movies.
Oliver's eyes lit up when he heard these three words, "Qiu, do you have a script for a gangster movie?"

"Of course." Han Qiu smiled, "Since I have said so, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Oliver excitedly said: "Can you show me? Of course, if you are satisfied, Warner will pay you!"

"Of course I believe you, my old friend."

Han Qiu continued: "In a few days, I will send the script to your mailbox, and then we can discuss it in detail."

"Okay, no problem." Oliver smiled and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Han Qiu leaned on the sofa and meditated.

In fact, when Oliver talked about gangster movies, Han Qiu had a vague idea in his heart, and this idea had appeared a long time ago, but at that time he was busy talking about Journey to the West, so he Put this matter aside for now.

Now Oliver's phone call undoubtedly hooked up his interest.

While Han Qiu was thinking, Zhou Yuxin came downstairs in thin pajamas.

"Han Qiu, what are you thinking about?" As she spoke, she lazily leaned into Han Qiu's arms.

Han Qiu played with her hair and said with a smile, "Yu Xin, tell me, can justice always defeat evil?"

"Justice and evil?" Zhou Yuxin was taken aback, and said without thinking, "I definitely support justice."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Han Qiu's teasing smile, and suddenly reacted, and exclaimed, "You don't want to support the villain, do you?"

"It's not whether I support it or not, but objectively speaking about the two opposites of justice and evil." Han Qiu explained, "Take the police and gangster movies as an example. The police and gangsters are opposites, but the police are not necessarily just. Gangsters It doesn't have to be evil either, Infernal Affairs is a good example."

"So, I thought, shoot a real villain, and then shoot a real hero."

"That's it." Zhou Yuxin nodded, but then asked in confusion: "Then what do you mean by asking at the beginning? Justice can't defeat evil?"

Hearing this, Han Qiu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Some villains are very rebellious. They will cause destruction and do some bad things to show that they are different. And the real evil, he will start from people's hearts. crushed one step at a time, and ultimately destroys the faith of the people."

As he said that, Han Qiu sighed: "This is the real evil. The word "bad guys" doesn't have enough weight to describe them anymore."

Zhou Yuxin felt as if she was listening to a book from heaven, and felt that the people Han Qiu talked about were like myths.

real evil?
She asked curiously, "So, are you going to make a movie like this?"

"That's right." Han Qiu said with a smile, "A friend in the United States called me just now, and I suddenly had this idea."

Zhou Yuxin blinked, "Okay, I support you!"

Han Qiu nodded and smiled, and Zhou Yuxin asked again: "By the way, what's the name of this movie?"

Han Qiu word by word, slowly spit out four words: "Dark Knight!"

After chatting with Zhou Yuxin, Han Qiu has an extra task in his daily leisure life.

That's what wrote the script for The Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight can be said to be a superhero movie, or it can be said to be a realistic police movie.

Because this superhero is estimated to be the weakest in the history of the United States. He has no superpowers or black technology. He only has a good skill, and only a battle suit and a chariot that surpass the technology of this era.

It can be said that in the face of other superheroes with all kinds of weird superpowers, he is definitely the one who is blown away.

His name is: Batman!

This is a rich second generation who hates evil like hatred, and his opponent this time is a super villain who can be ranked on the list of villains in movie history:

clown!

This is an extremely twisted, evil villain to the bone.It's also him who turned Batman from a high-profile urban hero into a dark knight who can only walk underground!

He is also one of the few villains who can defeat the superheroes and complete all his plans.

In his heart, even though he died, he would be honored! !

In the study, Han Qiu used words to describe Batman and the Joker.Batman's character is well described, justice, hatred and so on.But the clown is too difficult to describe. It seems that throwing all the evil words on his head is not enough to write about this twisted person.

Han Qiu murmured while writing: "Yankees are used to watching movies where superheroes beat villains, so now they can watch movies where superheroes are beaten by villains."

"This is a big surprise~~~"

This time, Han Qiu wrote very slowly. It took more than 20 days to finalize the script, and there were still many ideas in his mind, which he couldn't write at all.This kind of feeling that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words can only be shown to the audience when the director shoots it with a camera.

After the script was written, Han Qiu compiled it into an email and sent it to Oliver.As for the script, for safety reasons, he didn't give it all, but only provided a rough outline.

Three days later, Oliver called.

The first sentence Oliver opened his mouth sighed: "Qiu, your script is simply too dark!"

Han Qiu: "."

"what do you want to say in the end."

Oliver said excitedly: "I want to say, this story is very good, we Warner decided to buy it!"

Han Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. He thought the clown had scared off Warner's people.

"Okay, as long as you like it, but... I'm not going to sell it!"

"Not for sale?" Oliver was taken aback, and he quickly said, "We will definitely give you a satisfactory price, even higher than the last Infernal Affairs!"

Han Qiu shook his head, "No no no Oliver, you made a mistake, it's not a matter of money or not."

"Have you forgotten my identity?"

Oliver was stunned again, what kind of identity do you have.Han Banxian?
Han Qiu smiled and said, "My friend, I am a director! Not just a screenwriter."

Oliver suddenly realized, yes, this guy is the great director of China!

but
Oliver wondered: "Are you going to shoot yourself?"

"Then why did you give us the script again?"

Han Qiu replied: "Because the Batman IP is in your hands, I have to pay you if I want to shoot it."

"So, in order not to waste this money, let's cooperate with Huaxian and Warner."

"." Oliver was speechless. Is this really just to save the copyright fee?

"This... I need to report to the higher-ups." Oliver thought for a while, but didn't refuse or agree.

"Okay." Han Qiu continued to remind: "However, as the screenwriter and director of The Dark Knight, it is the best choice for me to complete this story."

"I hope you, Warner, can think about it carefully."

Oliver nodded: "Okay, I will give you an answer in a few days."

After speaking, Oliver hung up the phone.

He turned on the computer and watched the story of the Dark Knight on it, and the more he read it, the more he felt satisfied. He felt that Warner couldn't just miss it for nothing.

After thinking about it, he got up and left his office, took out a printed script, and walked upstairs.

A moment later, Oliver came outside the office of his immediate boss, Bill. After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in," Bill Lang said.

Seeing Oliver come in, he asked, "What's the matter, did the Chinese man agree?"

Oliver shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "He has one condition."

"What conditions? As long as the asking price is not too outrageous, we can agree to him."

There was a trace of helplessness on Oliver's face: "He said he wanted to cooperate with us to make this movie."

Bill nodded: "Yes, he is welcome to invest."

"And, he's going to direct the movie himself."

After Oliver said this, Bill was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

He frowned and said, "He wants to direct it himself? Does he have the ability? I don't want to waste a huge investment."

Oliver hurriedly spoke good words for Han Qiu: "Boss, Qiu is an excellent director. His works have won the number one box office in China for many times. Recently, he won the Best Director of the Hong Kong Film Awards! "

"By the way, the Infernal Affairs we filmed last time was also bought from him."

Hearing this, Bill's expression softened a little, but he still hesitated: "The Hong Kong Film Awards~~ But that's only an honor for China, and it doesn't work in the United States."

"Besides, just because Chinese audiences recognize him doesn't mean American audiences also recognize him. It's too risky for him to direct."

Oliver also knew this fact, but he still didn't want to give up, "However, we have to try it, and shrink back before trying it. This is not our Warner style."

"The risk is only certain. We can definitely find a way to minimize the risk! Also, Warner isn't the only one who bears this risk. Qiu's Huaxian Company will also bear part of it."

"Besides, the Dark Knight was written by Qiu, and he is the only one who understands the story best. It would be better to let him direct!"

Bill was silent. Although what Oliver said made sense, there were still too many potential risks.

In the end, Bill gave Oliver an answer, just like the answer Oliver gave Han Qiu before.

"I will report to the board, after all, the money is in their hands."

Oliver nodded: "Okay, BOSS, I wish you good luck!"

Four days later, Han Qiu, who was far away in Shanghai, received a call from Warner, saying that they had initially agreed to Han Qiu's plan, but they would send someone over to discuss with him the specific details.

However, Han Qiu rejected their request to send someone over.

He said: "Don't bother you, I just want to visit the United States recently, and see you in the United States then!"

　Recommend a book, written by a friend. "Dream into the Movie World".In addition, please recommend, really, there are very few tickets these days.
