The best director ever

Chapter 348

That night, after Han Qiu sent Yuan Meng home, he left alone.After that, he didn't ask about the movie just now, nor did he ask Yuan Mengwei that Mao would be the photographer of this movie.

The last sentence the two said before they parted was just "goodbye at startup".

For some reason, Han Qiu suddenly felt a little sad.Perhaps, we will never be able to drink happily together again in the future.

The next day, Han Qiu returned to Shanghai and prepared to raise funds.

Naturally, Han Qiu still chose Warner, and Warner has been waiting for news from Han Qiu, the two hit it off.

Now, the whole world is familiar with the two "brothers" Huaxian and Warner.The two companies have always been inseparable, like twins who grew up wearing a pair of crotch pants.Everyone will be surprised if the next movie is not made by the two of them together.

Han Qiu and Oliver don't mind. Twins are twins. They have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. One has a good box office appeal in the United States, and the other is a leader in the Chinese film and television industry. The combination of the two is far more than a simple 1 +1 for the effect too.

And this time on the Titanic, Han Qiu had to cooperate with Warner.Without him, because of the background of the story, this movie is not suitable for Chinese people to star in.Needless to say, the protagonist, even the supporting role is not good.

In that era, there were no Chinese people who could squeeze into the Titanic, uh, not to say that there were no, but there were no serious guests.Historically, there were indeed a few Chinese people on the Titanic, but all of them were workers, that is, boiler workers.

The others are all foreigners.

So, this time, Han Qiu will select all foreign actors to participate in the performance.

In early December, Han Qiu went to the United States to deal with matters related to the Titanic.

Number two, Warner Headquarters in Los Angeles.

When Bill and Oliver heard that Han Qiu had a new plan, they both expressed strong interest, but when they heard that the new movie was a romance movie, the two showed weird looks at the same time.

The two sides have collaborated on so many movies before, either superhero movies or sci-fi movies, but this is the first time I have seen a romance movie.

Besides that, there is one more thing.
"Director Han, you want to make a love movie?" Bill looked at Han Qiu in surprise.

Oliver is also puzzled: "Why don't you make science fiction movies? You can also shoot superhero movies."

In fact, he really wanted Han Qiu to shoot the two types of movies he suggested. These are the two types of movies that can earn the most box office in the movie industry.What's more, Oliver doesn't know Han Qiu's background in romance movies, and wonders if he can still be unrivaled in the box office like before!

Hehe, don't you believe in my strength?This is a wedding gift from me to my daughter-in-law. It is a testimony of our strong love. You know what.Han Qiu shook his head and smiled: "There is no reason, I have a good story, and then I want to shoot it, that's all."

"Besides, who said this is an ordinary romance movie?" Han Qiu looked at the two and teased, "You haven't finished the script yet, have you? This is still a disaster movie."

I really didn't finish it, but Bill suddenly thought of something and said, "You mean the Titanic will sink?"

"Yes." Han Qiu said with a smile, "The gold-absorbing ability of disaster movies is no less than that of science fiction movies."

The reason why Titanic is a classic is that the nature of disaster movies also adds points to it.If it were a disaster, it might not have such a shocking effect.

For example, with the fire as the background, even if the hero sacrificed himself for love to become the heroine, the sensation caused was not as strong as the shipwreck of the Titanic.

why?

How many people died because of the shipwreck!
So many people died, and the heroine survived because of the sacrifice of the hero, which can better bring out the greatness of their love!
Apparently, Bill and Oliver understood this too.After listening to Han Qiu's words, the two of them read the script, and then looked at each other in shock.

Fuck me, can romance movies play like this?
Han Qiu also understood their feelings. In fact, in his previous life, before the Titanic, no one dared to play like this.Cameron is not famous for making the Titanic. He has made several science fiction films before and is famous in Hollywood, such as "Terminator" and "Alien 2".

These two films can also be regarded as half disaster films, one is a mechanical disaster and the other is a biological disaster.It is precisely because of his background in disaster films that Cameron combined large-scale disasters and love in a coquettish manner.This practice was really successful, and the effect was so good, so good!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Bill came back to his senses and nodded at Han Qiu, "Yes, this is indeed a very good script!"

Oliver's eyes were also bright, obviously aroused great interest, "This movie is really good, with a lot of selling points! Especially this hand of emotional cards, if it is played out, not many audiences will want it. But..."

"But what?" Han Qiu frowned and asked.

Oliver turned his attention to Bill, and the latter gave a wry smile when he saw this, and said, "Fox has also recently prepared a love movie, and I heard that the investment has reached 2 million US dollars. bumped together."

"No way?" Han Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked back.He was still wondering why he didn't hear the news.

"Inside information." Bill narrowed his eyes and smiled.

alright, you win.Han Qiu was speechless, these giants in Hollywood are still playing spies?

"You also said that it's just possible. Movies are shot in different cycles, so it's not so easy to meet them. And even if they do, Fox can choose to avoid them." Han Qiu looked away indifferently, "Again No good, so what if you run into it? Dude, you won’t be afraid, will you?”

Oliver shrugged, "I didn't say that."

Bill also smiled and shook his head: "I'm just mentioning it. After all, Fox and we have launched two love movies one after another, which will definitely attract the attention of the audience. Another point is the ownership of the Oscars."

Han Qiu suddenly realized, this guy wants to win an Oscar before the film is made?

But he also admired Bill's vision, seeing the potential of the Titanic at a glance.

But Han Qiu will be cowardly?
He has taken out the box office and Oscar dual killers, so he is afraid of other movies?

Han Qiu picked up the script, "Guys, I don't think we should be the ones who should worry about this? Do you think Fox has the ability to defeat us?"

Oliver and Bill looked at each other in blank dismay, you don't even know what they are shooting, so you are so confident?

After all, the two of them have only read the script, and have not experienced the charm of the movie in person.You must know that the dubbing of a movie, the interpretation of actors, shots, editing, background music, etc. all have a great influence on a movie.

It is true that Han Qiu's script was good, but they still didn't understand where Han Qiu's confidence came from.You know, this is not a sci-fi movie, nor is it a superhero movie.

However, due to years of cooperation and trust in Han Qiu, Bill hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Director Han, happy cooperation, by the way, I wish you a successful transformation."

In fact, in the final analysis, it was the script of Titanic that moved him.With a good script, the rest depends on how much the director can play on this basis.

"Happy cooperation!"

I transform?Han Qiu secretly smiled in his heart, brother is the master key, he can open any kind of lock.

In the next three days, Han Qiu and Warner signed a contract. The two parties each contributed 7500 million US dollars, with a total production cost of 1.5 million US dollars.As for the distribution of profits, it is the same as before.

In addition, the two parties are also preparing to find advertisers for this.

When they worked together in the past, Han Qiu and Warner also recruited advertisers for almost every movie, but the money was not that much.But this time the Titanic has much more business opportunities than those few sci-fi movies.

First of all, the clothes!
The story happened at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The popular clothing at that time was quite different from what it is now. In this regard, professional clothing designers and companies must be found.

The second is the decoration of the ship Titanic, such as carpets, curtains, tables and chairs.The appearance rate of these things is ridiculously high, because the plot takes place on the ship, and the camera can't do it if they don't want to take care of it.

Sponsors like Inception are not particularly easy to get. Grandma runs around all over the world. Except for clothing, other labels are really difficult to post.

Therefore, Han Qiu and Warner will never let go of this "ill-gotten wealth"!
Just when Han Qiu and Warner conspired to attract advertisers, another giant in Hollywood, Fox headquarters.

As Bill said, this time they are indeed going to produce a big-budget fantasy love movie "The Forest of Elves".And its director also had a relationship with Han Qiu.

That is Joey who once had a small conflict with Wen Ziren.

At that time, Wen Ziren had just debuted in the filming of Chainsaw, and he had a dispute with others over the role of Jigsaw. Although he won in the end, it also left a gap.

This time, Joey received an invitation from Fox to shoot the movie.He saw that the script was good, so of course he agreed.

At this time, Joey was discussing with Fox's producers about starting the movie.

Producer: "We have received news that Warner and Hua Xian will cooperate to shoot a romance film!"

"That Chinese director Han Banxian?" Obviously, Joey was no stranger to Han Qiu.Since Han Qiu was named "Han Banxian" at the last Oscar, his name has spread all over the United States.

"Well, it's still directed by him." The producer looked admiring, and seemed to be very afraid of Han Qiu, "This Huaxia director is really amazing, especially Inception, which was released during the summer vacation, is indeed a modern sci-fi classic!"

Joey shook his head: "But he wants to make a romance movie."

"Who knows what his romance movies are like?"

Joey narrowed his eyes: "I'm not as good as him when it comes to sci-fi movies, but I'm not afraid of him when it comes to romance movies!"
