The best director ever

Chapter 160 Han Qiu's Condition

Half a month later, in early June, Children's Day just passed.

In a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, the opening ceremony of "Those Years" was held here.

Han Qiu attended the ceremony together with Zhou Yuxin as a special guest, and praised Lin Hua a lot on the stage, saying that this movie will become a clear stream of Chinese campus movies, and it is a must-see movie of.

After the opening ceremony, Han Qiu, Zhou Yuxin, and Lin Hua and Liu Keke had a light meal together.

When Lin Hua heard that Han Qiu was going to America to make a movie, he just shook his head helplessly, then raised his glass and said in a deep voice:
"Bon voyage, brother!"

Han Qiu toasted to each other: "Don't worry, I will definitely give the Yankee a big gift this time!"

Afterwards, Han Qiu called his parents, uncle and little Lolita, and informed them, telling them not to worry.

Mom and Dad are all open to it, but they just say to let Han Qiu take good care of himself.Little Lolita also cheered and said, "Brother, remember to bring me a gift back."

Han Qiu laughed loudly: "No problem, your share must be indispensable!"

In the end, Han Qiu and Zhou Yuxin came to Kyoto to meet their sister, and then boarded the plane from Kyoto to Los Angeles under Han Xia's resentful eyes.

Outside the airport, Han Xia looked at the plane flying to the other side of the ocean, pouted, and stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, "Hmph, old man, I haven't been to Huaxian yet, you went to the United States !"

on the plane.
Han Qiu sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Someone must have been thinking about me just now."

Zhou Yuxin smiled and said, "Hey, I guess I'm not alone. There should be many people in Huaxia who miss you."

Han Qiu said indifferently: "Think about it, think about it, Huaxia lost me, Han Banxian, and my colleagues should be very happy."

Zhou Yuxin covered her mouth and smiled: "You left, don't you still have Lin Hua and Ye Chen? Besides, it's not like you won't come back."

"Yes~" Han Qiu was quite emotional, and said with a faint look, "Huaxian is not the only one."

Los Angeles, USA.

Han Qiu boarded the plane at night, but due to jet lag, when he arrived here, the sky outside was still pitch black.

Oliver had already been waiting outside the airport, and when he saw Han Qiu coming out, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Dear Dark Knight, you are finally here."

Han Qiu's expression was a little weird, the Dark Knight?
"Oliver, do you think I'm a clown who does all kinds of evil?"

Oliver smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you are the savior of our 'Gotham City'."

Han Qiu shrugged, "Gotham City is Batman's territory, and I brought him the big devil, the Joker. I should be the disaster star."

Oliver laughed, and he turned to look at Zhou Yuxin: "Who is this?"

"My wife." Han Qiu replied.

Oliver exclaimed, "Oh, your wife is so beautiful."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Oliver." Zhou Yuxin offered to extend her hand.

"It's an honor, ma'am." Oliver stretched out his hand and leaned on it lightly, then took it back.

Afterwards, under Oliver's arrangement, the two temporarily stayed in a big hotel.According to his intention, arrange someone to negotiate with Han Qiu tomorrow.

The next day, Warner came, and it was Bill and Oliver who came.

In the hotel room, Bill extended his hand politely: "Mr. Han Qiu, hello."

In fact, Bill looked calm on the surface, but he was surprised in his heart.In his heart, Han Qiu should be a middle-aged uncle, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

"Hello, Mr. Bill." Han Qiu also said politely with a smile.

"Director Han, you really surprised me. I didn't expect such a famous director in Huaxia to be a young man!"

Han Qiu shook his head and smiled, jokingly said, "In the eyes of our Huaxia audience, I'm an old monster!"

Oliver and Bill looked at each other. Naturally, they didn't understand what the nickname Han Banxian represented in the long-standing Chinese culture.

Bill coughed and said, "Director Han, I want to ask, why did you insist on directing this movie yourself?"

Han Qiu stared and asked, "Shouldn't my own child be brought up by myself? Why should I leave it to others, Mr. Bill?"

Han Qiu’s analogy left Bill speechless. He raised his own child. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, then I'll make it clear. We Warner thinks this cooperation is too risky. You know, the box office of the last Batman was not very good."

Han Qiu sneered: "There is no such thing as a 100% guaranteed profit in the world. Since you want to do this business, you have to plan for a loss in advance. I want to say that Hollywood can't guarantee that any new work will be able to make a steady profit." Is it a loss?"

Bill spread his hands and nodded: "As you said, nothing can be 100% guaranteed, so I need you to give me a reason, a reason to convince us."

Han Qiu replied: "Because I am directing, I can fully display the charm of this script."

"That's not enough. You are a Chinese director, and you have no box office appeal in the United States."

Han Qiu nodded: "Okay, then we can divide it according to the final amount of the box office. In this way, it should help you Warner reduce a little risk."

Bill became a little interested: "How to divide?"

Han Qiu squinted his eyes and said calmly: "If the global box office is less than 5 million US dollars, you Warner will share 6%, and we Huaxian will have 4 floors. If it is higher than 5 million US dollars, we will split [-]%."

Hearing this, Bill's lazy body immediately straightened up!
3.5 million?You must know that the global box office of Batman the year before last was only [-] million!

What a big breath!
"Director Han, were you joking just now?" Bill Pi asked with a half-smile.

"NO, NO, NO, I don't have so much free time to joke with you!" Han Qiu laughed.

"Also, I haven't finished my sentence yet. If the final box office exceeds 8 million U.S. dollars, when the final bill is divided, I, Huaxian, will get 6%, and you, Warner, will get 4%!"

"I don't know what you want on this condition, Mr. Bill?"

As soon as these words came out, Bill couldn't understand the young man in front of him at all. Five hundred million is not enough, and eight hundred million is needed?

For a while, Bill fell silent and began to consider gains and losses.

It is true that Han Qiu's offer is very good. If the box office does not reach [-] million, even if Warner Bros. loses in the end, they can accept it, and maybe they can make a fortune!As for more than [-] million, that is naturally better.

But Bill didn't even think about the figure of [-] million. In his heart, it was impossible!

Han Qiu also waited quietly with a smile, he was very confident in his heart.In the previous life, the box office of The Dark Knight was as high as one billion, and it was the first superhero movie with a box office of over one billion in movie history.

First!
This honor is unprecedented!
So Han Qiu is not worried at all, even if the final box office does not reach the level of 10 billion in the previous life, but breaking the threshold of 5 million, the success rate is as high as 90%.

This is the charm of the Dark Knight. The philosophy of the story in it is unmatched by other superheroes, and even flattering!

In the end, Bill nodded. Han Qiu's plan has reduced the risk to the lowest level. If it is hypocritical, they, Warner, don't have to mess around anymore.

"Director Han, you have successfully convinced me that we can sign a contract at any time!" Bill stood up and stretched out his right hand.

Han Qiu held out his hand and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Bill also laughed.

A few days later, Han Qiu preliminarily signed a contract with Warner, and the two parties invested 5000 million US dollars each.It's just that Warner is responsible for the distribution in the United States, and Huaxian is responsible for the distribution in China. As for other countries, we will find another distribution company.

The $1 million is an initial investment, and Warner has to lobby other advertisers to join in the sponsorship.

But so far, the [-] million US dollars has exceeded Westward Journey, and The Dark Knight has become the movie with the largest investment that Han Qiu took over.

After the contract was signed, Han Qiu temporarily rented a villa in Los Angeles, and then played with Zhou Yuxin in this city known as the City of Angels.

Disneyland, Hollywood Studios, etc., have left their footprints.

In the coffee shop on Sunset Boulevard, Han Qiu came back here again, but this time he was not alone, and this time he did not come here as a tourist.

This time, he is a director.

On the seat by the window, Han Qiu stared at Sunset Street at dusk, and said intoxicatedly, "I once said that I will come back again!"

"Finally. Waiting for this day!"
