The best director ever

Chapter 263 The Transformation of Lionsgate

In the end, the three of them discussed for an afternoon before making a preliminary decision on the matter.

The two sides negotiated to test the waters by filming the first part first, and if the box office is good, the two sides will invest more.

The total investment of the first production cost is 45 million US dollars!The two sides split 10-[-], each contributing [-] million, each accounting for [-]%, and Han Qiu, as director and screenwriter, alone took [-]%.

Han Qiu was quite satisfied with this result.As long as this idea is started, Han Qiu is more confident in an unprecedented sci-fi movie like The Matrix, not afraid that Warner will not invest more.

In the evening, after having dinner with Bill and the others, Han Qiu returned to the hotel alone.

After returning, Han Qiu took a comfortable bath, then wrapped up in a towel and called Zhou Yuxin to report that she was safe.

However, not long after the call was hung up, another call came in, but it was not to his mobile phone, but to the intercom in the room.

"Hey?"

"Excuse me, sir, do you need an in-home massage service?"

"." Han Qiu was speechless, what the hell?Massage service?I massage you, or you massage me. "Sorry, I don't need to."

After speaking, Han Qiu hung up the phone directly.Miss Dayanma, he is still out of luck.

In order to prevent any more calls from coming in, he directly made the intercom phone busy, and then curled up comfortably under the quilt and fell asleep.

The next day, Han Qiu made an appointment with Wen Ziren.

After experiencing three chainsaw movies, this kid has become famous in the United States, not to mention the whole country, at least most audiences who like horror movies know that there is a yellow director named James Wen.

Even, because of the shadow of Hua Xian in Saw, many American audiences thought Wen Ziren was a Chinese director.

But in fact, although his elders are Chinese, he is an authentic Malaysian.

In the morning, Han Qiu came to the University of Southern California alone. This is where he made an appointment to meet Wen Ziren.

On the campus, the sun was shining brightly, and many college students passed by Han Qiu with a youthful atmosphere.Seeing their energetic smiles, Han Qiu suddenly felt a sense of being out of touch.

"Uncle, please let me go." Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from behind Han Qiu.

Han Qiu looked back and saw a little girl riding a bicycle parked behind him.

"Uncle?" Han Qiu was speechless, but he still took a few steps to the side to make way for him.

It wasn't until the little girl disappeared from Han Qiu's sight with her ponytail flicked that he came back to his senses.

People's little loli still calls her brother, and a college student calls her uncle.
"It's really old." Han Qiu muttered inexplicably, feeling stuffy in his heart.

A while later, in the library, Han Qiu saw Wen Ziren who had been waiting for a long time.

"Director Han."

Han Qiu nodded and greeted, "How are you doing recently?"

Several years of chainsaw career has also polished Wen Ziren's childishness. Now facing Han Qiu, he can take it lightly: "It's not bad, and the preparations for Death Silence are almost finished. I plan to start shooting in early April."

"The action is very fast." Han Qiu was a little surprised, "What about the chainsaw? I remember that the third part has not ended yet, who are you going to hand over this IP to?"

He also vaguely remembered that Wen Ziren mentioned this to him. Once he didn't shoot Chainsaw, he would sell the IP and give it to someone else to shoot the sequel.

Judging from the current popularity of Chainsaw, the fourth part definitely has a lot of appeal!

"I announced this news a few days ago, and many production companies and directors hope to take over." Speaking of this, Wen Ziren's expression was a little strange, "But... Director Han, you will never guess the company with the highest bid who is it."

Han Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Warner?"

"No." Wen Ziren shook his head.

"Fox?"

"Not at all."

"Paramount?"

"It's still wrong."

In the end, Han Qiu talked about most of the famous companies in Hollywood, but Wen Ziren still kept shaking his head, but his expression became more and more weird.

Speaking of which, Han Qiu no longer has the heart to guess, grandma, who the hell is so bold?
Suddenly, a strange thought came to Han Qiu's mind. He opened his mouth wide and said in an unbelievable tone, "It can't be Lions Gate, right?"

Hearing this, Wen Ziren finally stopped shaking his head, and sighed: "That's right, it's the teacher's school."

Han Qiu: "."

He still remembers that at the reception before the filming of V, Shimen's people had a conflict with Wen Ziren. After that, Shimen wanted to use "Pursuit Order" to snipe the chainsaw, although it ended in failure.

But Han Qiu didn't expect that he would offer the highest price to win the chainsaw.

Is this a bad memory, or is the charm of the chainsaw too great?
Big enough to put an end to it?

"As expected, money comes first." Han Qiu said with emotion.

"I think Shimen didn't take that matter to heart at all." Wen Ziren shrugged and said, "They didn't succeed in the sniping that time, maybe they got a better understanding of the potential of the chainsaw. "

"That's for sure. They're all businessmen. They make money. Who cares about these little things."

Wen Ziren nodded in deep agreement, and then asked, "Director Han, what do you mean? Are we going to sell them?"

"Sell it." Han Qiu replied without hesitation, "Anyway, you don't want to shoot anymore, so why don't you just sell it to whoever gives you the most money?"

"It's just that you have to pay attention to the word-of-mouth issue. Don't let the people from Lionsgate ruin the reputation of Chainsaw. This is a classic, and it can't be ruined by them."

"I know this." Wen Ziren said confidently, "When I sold the copyright, I also sold the follow-up script. If Shimen wants to make a sequel, he must use the original actors. With them, it should be well-known. It won't go bad."

Han Qiu nodded, "Okay, that's fine."

"Then I will sign the contract with them in a few days. Director Han, do you want to go together?"

Han Qiu waved his hand: "No need, you can figure it out yourself, I'm going to host the actor recruitment of The Matrix."

"Okay." Wen Ziren looked at the man in front of him who was only a few years older than himself, but felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart that he couldn't catch up with.

He already has a small reputation in the international film industry, when will he be famous all over the world?
On March 23, Han Qiu signed a contract with Warner.The news of the cooperation between the two companies was also announced the next day, and at the same time, there was the sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix!
After a few years, Han Qiu set foot in the United States again, and it was a sci-fi masterpiece with a lot of investment!
In the eyes of the Yankees, the success of V and the Dark Knight is still vivid. This time, will this Chinese director from the East create another miracle?
The major media in the United States also more or less reported the matter, and said that the Huaxia director made a comeback!

[Hua Xian and Warner collaborate for the third time! 】

【The Matrix?The business empire of director Huaxia! 】

On the Internet, American netizens also expressed their opinions on this matter.

"Oh, director Huaxia is here again? Is he going to create a super villain for us again?"

"I have to admit that he is the most talented Chinese director I have ever seen."

"I still remember the clown, he is the most powerful villain I have ever seen, bar none."

"No, V is the most powerful. I still have its mask at home, and I even took it to the school masquerade."

"With a V mask? Wow, that must be cool."

"Yes, this is really cool, and I invited a girl with a really good body to dance."

"I don't know if this Huaxia director will bring another very powerful role."

"expect."

As Han Qiu expected, with the pre-battle between V and the Dark Knight, many American audiences have not forgotten him.For The Matrix, they also more or less showed expectations.

The next day, Han Qiu began to recruit the heroine of The Matrix.

As soon as the news came out, many American actresses showed strong interest and applied to Han Qiu one after another.
(Some time ago, I was away on business and lived in a hotel. Uh, as long as everyone understands. I am an honest gentleman like Han Qiu! How could I do those things?)
