The best director ever

Chapter 189 Anthony Hopkins

Outside a manor on the outskirts of Los Angeles, luxury cars arrived one after another.The car door opened, and countless well-dressed handsome men and women walked out of the car elegantly or gentlemanly.

Han Qiu and the others also came outside the manor in the special car sent by Warner.In the car, besides Han Qiu and Zhou Yuxin in the back row, Wen Ziren also came along in the co-pilot.

This time, Han Qiu deliberately brought Wen Ziren here.After all, the overseas market for thriller and horror films is much better than that in China, and Wen Ziren's main battlefield in the future will still be in Hollywood.Tonight, Han Qiu hopes that he can meet like-minded people.

After getting off the car, Wen Ziren looked at the classical manor and at the many celebrities, his delicate face could not help showing a trace of restraint.He also understood that without Han Qiu's help, he might be able to step here in the future, but it must be many years later.

"Zi Ren, let's go in together."

Han Qiu was arm-in-arm with Zhou Yuxin, both of them were in black dresses, their masculine temperament was deep, like a secluded well.The feminine temperament is elegant, like a black rose.

"Okay." Wen Ziren was half a body behind Han Qiu, and followed closely into the manor.

The reception was held on the huge lawn in the manor. The rooms inside the manor were for resting. If men and women are attracted by each other's hormonal smell, then this is undoubtedly a good place for a lingering night. .

At this moment, long rows of counters have been placed on the lawn, filled with snacks and wine.Since it is a reception, wine must be indispensable.

Han Qiu's arrival made many guests at the scene look sideways. They knew that the protagonist of today's reception was not any of them, but the director from Huaxia.

"Oh, is he the director of The Dark Knight? He looks so young."

"It's really hard to believe that he will be a director. If I didn't know his identity in advance, I would have thought he was an actor."

Someone answered the conversation: "He is not just a director, he is also the boss of Huaxia Film and Television Giant Company. Otherwise, with this director's identity, can he make Warner so inspiring?"

"Yes, Huaxia's market is also a big cake. It is estimated that Warner has long wanted to find a partner."

A sexy beauty thought: "Such a young billionaire, if he didn't have a girlfriend, I would definitely tease him tonight."

Along the way, many guests smiled and nodded at Han Qiu, and Han Qiu didn't put on airs, and politely smiled back one by one.

Suddenly, Han Qiu saw Heath and Michelle. Heath was holding a glass of red wine and toasting himself from a distance.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Heath's complexion is much better than before. Maybe it's because the trip to China has relaxed his nerves, or maybe it's the good harvest this time that made his life shine again.

Han Qiu greeted Wen Ziren and walked towards Heath: "Hey, Heath, you look much better now than before."

Heath smiled gently, but he no longer had the charm of the clown.

"Thank you, you brought me back to life."

At this time, Bill and Oliver also walked towards Han Qiu, and beside them was a middle-aged man with brown hair.Where the three of them passed by, many guests and guests smiled and stepped aside.

"Hi, Cho."

"Mr. Han."

Oliver and Bill greeted each other one after another, and the middle-aged man also extended his right hand and handed it to Han Qiu in a friendly manner, "Director Han, I've known you for a long time."

Han Qiu knew the identity of the middle-aged man: Toby Emmerich, the other party was the CEO of Warner, and Han Qiu had seen his photo long ago, but today they met for the first time.

Everyone present was also staring at this scene intently, one was a giant from China, and the other was a giant from Hollywood.When the two stand together, no one can ignore the dazzling halo.

Han Qiu stretched out his hand and held it tightly: "Hello, Mr. Emmerich."

The next second, the two looked at each other and smiled, and this historic scene was immediately recorded by someone with a camera.

The significance of this is self-evident.

Han Qiu is a wolf from China!Come to Hollywood to grab food!

Later, Toby invited Han Qiu to the side to talk about the cooperation in detail.

"Director Han, I'm very sorry for the cooperation last time. Please forgive those pedantic old guys on the board of directors." Toby took a glass of red wine and drank it all. "This time, Warner will show the greatest sincerity."

Han Qiu smiled without saying a word. This guy is blackmailing his own company, so he can't be too hypocritical, right?

Raising the wine glass in his hand, Han Qiu took a sip, "Of course I believe in Warner's sincerity."

Toby nodded with a smile, and asked, "May I ask, what is the approximate budget for V for Vendetta?"

"It's about the same as The Dark Knight, and the production cost is about [-] million U.S. dollars."

Han Qiu didn't say too much, nor did he say too little.The last filming of The Dark Knight cost about 1.2 million yuan, and the rest was invested in the distribution, and the two companies also subsidized part of the distribution fee. The scene of V for Vendetta is a little smaller than the Dark Knight, and the production cost of [-] million is enough.

Toby picked up another glass of red wine, and after thinking about it for a while while drinking, he said, "This time, we will each take out 5000 million US dollars as the last time, but when it comes to the final share, Director Han will take [-]% for you personally. How about we split the rest equally?"

Han Qiu's movements were insignificant, and Warner seemed to be a little sincere this time.After doing the math, wouldn't I get 55% of the profit?
In Han Qiu's heart, he and Huaxian have always been one, and he rarely proposes to charge a separate share as the director's commission.In fact, in the United States, many directors are freelancers, and they are invited to shoot commissions.Some have a fixed amount of money, while others require a share of the box office.

But it doesn't matter to Han Qiu, anyway, Huaxian opened it by himself, and it doesn't matter if the money is given to Huaxian or to himself.

It seems that Warner really gave himself enough face this time.

Han Qiu didn't immediately agree, but joked, "This time, the Warner Board of Directors didn't obstruct it anymore?"

Toby shrugged: "Why obstruct? This is giving them money, and they just need to wait quietly for the box office to flow into their pockets."

"Okay!" Han Qiu smiled, raised his glass and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation."

Toby also raised his glass and smiled: "Of course."

In fact, Han Qiu also thought about Huaxian shooting alone, but after careful consideration, he gave up.After all, Huaxian, the golden signboard of Huaxia, is useless in the United States, and a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. With Warner leading the way in the United States, it is easier for these theaters and audiences in the United States to accept it.

After reaching a verbal agreement, Toby left with his girlfriend and left a message to let Han Qiu have a good time.

However, Han Qiu wanted to have fun, but within a few steps, someone would come up to make friends, some were actors, some were screenwriters and so on.He smiled at him, but Han Qiu couldn't just reach out and hit the smiling person.

In addition, Zhou Yuxin's generous beauty also attracted many men.Orientals are born with finer pores than Europeans, and Zhou Yuxin is even more outstanding among them.Don't foreigners like tall and sexy women without losing their plumpness?It just so happened that Zhou Yuxin had it all.

Her radiance is also the reason why many men have the cheek to come up to say hello.At least, when talking to Han Qiu, many people would look at Zhou Yuxin from time to time, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.

After leaving a small circle, Han Qiu teased: "Yu Xin, you are still so charming, even Yankees can be charmed."

Zhou Yuxin didn't seem to hear Han Qiu's words, but pointed to the other side and said, "Han Qiu, look there, is Wen Ziren having a conflict with someone?"

"Huh?" Han Qiu frowned and looked over, only to see Wen Ziren's expression was ugly. Beside him, a middle-aged man held a glass of wine and glanced at him with disdain.Beside him stood a man with a silent face.

Coincidentally, Oliver passed by Han Qiu, and Han Qiu grabbed him and asked, "Oliver, who are those two people?"

After a few glances, Oliver replied, "One is the director of Lionsgate, Roy Garden. The other is a Hollywood actor, Anthony Hopkins. What's the matter, is there anything wrong?"

Anthony Hopkins?
Han Qiu repeated the name several times in his mind. Could this person be the perverted murderer Wen Ziren was looking for?
