The best director ever

Chapter 162 Fate is Impermanent
"I want to play a game."

Hearing this, Han Qiu immediately frowned, his whole body tensed up, and there was a trace of unspeakable fear in his eyes.

Grandma, this thing really doesn't stop anywhere!
Han Qiu swallowed, and asked cautiously, "What else? What else did he say?"

Wen Ziren shook his head: "There are some others that I don't remember. You know, human beings always forget dreams very quickly."

"Is that so?" Han Qiu let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Han Qiu's lingering fear, Wen Ziren smiled awkwardly, "...Did I scare you?"

Han Qiu came back to his senses and sighed: "No, I just feel a little strange."

"That's it, sorry, we still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Well, goodbye." After Wen Ziren finished speaking, his expression was a little lonely. In fact, he still wanted to chat with Han Qiu a little more.

Han Qiu pulled Zhou Yuxin out of the library. After walking out of the gate, Zhou Yuxin, who knew Han Qiu well, squeezed his hand and asked softly, "What's the matter, do you have something on your mind?"

Han Qiu sighed: "Fortunately, I just remembered something."

He didn't want to delve into this with Zhou Yuxin, but he understood in his heart that Mao Wen Ziren would repeatedly mention the preciousness of life and that life should not be wasted.And these words are probably his subconscious thoughts.Or rather, the person in his dream told him.

As for the phrase "I want to play a game", it was a line from a classic cult movie in Han Qiu's previous life.Those explorations about cherishing life are the main theme of this movie!

This sensational horror thriller movie is called "Chain Saw", it uses naked bloody images and unimaginable reversal plots to make countless people feel chills.

That's why Han Qiu was so terrified that his scalp tingled.

Thinking of the murderous old man Jigsaw, and of those various bloody killing methods, I am afraid that few people can keep calm.

"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, Wen Ziren probably only has a prototype in his mind, and it's not certain whether the jigsaw will really be brought to the screen."

Thinking of this, Han Qiu smiled at Zhou Yuxin, "Let's go, let's go home."

"Yeah." Zhou Yuxin smiled.

In early July, The Dark Knight completed financing, and several advertisers invested a sum of money in it.Ultimately, the total investment amounted to $1.4 million.

When Han Qiu heard the news, he nodded in satisfaction. The money was more than enough to shoot The Dark Knight.

After getting the money, Han Qiu and Warner began to select actors and build a crew.

Regarding the configuration of the crew, Warner itself can provide many personnel, photographers, set designers, props and so on.Han Qiu directly chose Andy, a photographer who had collaborated once in Westward Journey, as the photographer of The Dark Knight.

And some special props, such as Batman's battle suit, chariot, etc., Han Qiu also took it directly from Warner.Anyway, the last time Warner was filming Batman, all of these things were done.Now take it back and use it again, it can save a lot of money.

Among them, Batman, the heroine, and other supporting roles, etc., Han Qiu also invited the original cast.

Unexpectedly, most people readily agreed after reading the script of The Dark Knight.It's just that the news from the heroine made Han Qiu a little disappointed. The answer she gave was that she was filming another movie and there was no schedule.

Han Qiu also had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, but fortunately, the heroine is just a vase role, and it is not worth spending too much energy.

And what worries Han Qiu the most is the role of the clown. This is a lunatic, a neurotic person. If he wants to act this pervert, it will be a test of his acting skills.

Warner recommended several candidates to Han Qiu, but Han Qiu felt that his words were unfounded, and he believed that he could only make a decision after seeing it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Han Qiu decided to make an open selection and invited American actors to audition.

However, an accident happened at this moment.When many well-known American actors saw that the director of this movie was an unknown Chinese, they first flinched in their hearts.

Then when I saw that the role to be auditioned was only a supporting role, and it was also a neurotic supporting role, the shrinking feeling in my heart grew stronger.

Until the end, all the people who applied to Han Qiu were second-tier actors, and there were almost no well-known actors.

Han Qiu was really embarrassed this time, and he also realized how difficult it is for a Chinese director to be unknown in the United States.

But despite the embarrassment, Han Qiu also accepted this cruel reality.Moreover, not being a first-line actor does not mean that everyone's acting skills are not good, maybe some people just lack opportunities and fame.

Moreover, the clown is indeed just a supporting role, but a supporting role that can't see its true colors.This puts your acting skills to the test!
In mid-July, auditions officially began at Warner's headquarters.

In the morning, Han Qiu kissed Zhou Yuxin goodbye and came to Warner's building alone.

Walking into the company and walking upstairs, many Warner employees were very curious about this yellow-skinned young man.They also heard about the company's filming of the Dark Knight recently, and they were very puzzled.

Why did Mao want a Chinese person to shoot?
"Look at that person. I heard it's the director of Huaxia. He's here to make a movie with us this time."

"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. The last Batman film was already at a loss, but this time it's going to be a sequel? And let a Chinese person direct it? Isn't this clearly a waste of money?"

"Oh, I think so too. Although I'm from Warner, I'm not optimistic about the Dark Knight this time."

"Hey, this time our company may lose money again, and be ridiculed by other Hollywood companies."

The arrival of Han Qiu caused a lot of discussion among the employees, although they didn't know the agreement between Warner and Han Qiu.They didn't know how much Warner's executives valued the script of the Dark Knight, and even agreed to Han Qiu's various conditions.

Han Qiu also knew how to make appropriate trade-offs, so he took advance as retreat, apparently giving up part of his interests and taking a big risk.But in fact, only Han Qiu is unaware of how terrifying the Dark Knight's box office appeal is.

A while later, Han Qiu passed by the waiting hall, and under the watchful eyes of a group of foreign actors, he walked into the inner room calmly.

It's just that what he didn't notice was that a pair of rather surprised eyes stared at him until he disappeared.

"How could it be him?"

In the room, Han Qiu greeted several interviewers from Warner Bros.
Supervision!

Supervisor Han Qiu will not randomly pick some people, so that he will not choose some actors who are blacklisted in Hollywood.

Soon, the audition was officially underway, and actors and actresses walked in one after another.

This is Han Qiu's first audition for foreign actors, and it is also the first time he has seen American actors perform live.

Some people are extroverted and like to express their emotions with exaggerated movements, while others are more silent, and they will show their acting skills by exaggerating the expressions on their faces.

But no matter whether they are active or silent, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are more natural.

Perhaps it is due to the open personality that is integrated into the bones of the Yankees. They are not as reserved as the Chinese, or they are not so humble.As actors, they brought this open personality into the performance.

In the end, the heroine was chosen, named Maggie Gyllenhaal, a plump woman with a good reputation and good looks.

Although this woman was not particularly beautiful in Han Qiu's eyes, she was far worse than Zhou Yuxin, but this was a joint decision made by several other interviewers, and Han Qiu couldn't help it.

Thinking that Chinese people and Americans might have different aesthetics, Han Qiu did not object to their opinions. After all, the first vote is still in the United States, and it might be better to cater to American tastes.

However, the role of the clown has never been settled.

In fact, Han Qiu was the only one who asked for these auditions.That is to play a madman.

Use all your abilities to create a lunatic!
However, no one could show the image of the lunatic in Han Qiu's heart.

They like to use exaggerated movements and expressions, or do some weird behaviors different from ordinary people to reflect a mentally abnormal lunatic.In fact, in their minds, that's what a madman is.

But Han Qiu didn't want this, because he wasn't a lunatic, at best he was a mentally disturbed fool.

What Han Qiu wanted was the kind of hysterical and crazy spirit that was buried in his bones and defied all laws, not just the expression of a fool.

Now, facing a brown-haired man, Han Qiu shook his head in disappointment.After he walked out of the room, the other interviewers finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked impatiently:

"Director Han, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Choose someone~~~" Han Qiu replied lightly.

The man shook his head helplessly: "I think some actors performed well before."

"NO, that's not the clown I want." Han Qiu directly vetoed it.

The man spread out the resume in his hand: "I just want to remind you that there is only one person left to audition. If you still don't like this person, I think you will never find the clown you want."

Han Qiu was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "I see, let him in."

A moment later, a blond white young man walked in with no expression on his face. He looked at Han Qiu with a slight smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes, as if he was laughing at himself, but also lamenting this impermanent fate.

"Hi, we meet again."
