Chapter 307: Han Qiu, who was stunned
On May 10th, when Han Qiu and Warner were discussing the cooperation of "Inception", the latest issue of Film and Television Huaxia was broadcast in Huaxia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of the early advertising warm-up, the program got more than 1.5% of the ratings as soon as it started, and before the final end, the ratings once exceeded 2%.
As a variety show with weak entertainment, in recent years, the average ratings of film and television Huaxia are around 1.2%, and sometimes a heavyweight guest is invited, which may rise to more than 1.5%, but sometimes the invited guests are not very famous, and the ratings will fall below 1%.
But in recent years, there has never been an episode with a rating of more than 2%.
Even Sun Zhiming didn't expect Han Qiu's popularity to be so high, and he actually raised the ratings by 0.5%.
In fact, in the final analysis, many viewers are here for the "latest news of Han Banxian's next movie" in the preview of this program. They care about when Han Qiu's next movie will be released and what kind of movie it is.
This is also the reason why the peak of the ratings of the Mao program is at the end.
Of course, Han Banxian's "upright" performance in the show also amused many audiences, and many people jokingly called this the funniest episode of film and television in China.
In addition, Huang Qilin's appearance also surprised everyone.
This is one of the few remaining national first-class directors, and it is not something that can be invited casually. Han Qiu is the first time to participate, how can Huang Qilin not be the first time?
"Amazing, this issue of film and television Huaxia is really beyond my imagination, Director Sun actually invited two big bosses, and he personally hosted it?"
"Director Sun is really powerful, he actually invited Han Banxian over, in other words, this should be Han Banxian's first time participating in a variety show, right?"
"It's indeed Han Banxian's first time, but I don't know if it's the last time. ”
"I don't care about this, I just want to ask Han Banxian what he sold in the end. Dreams, and it's a science fiction movie, and how do you relate to it?"
"Who knows, Han Banxian didn't say it himself, and we didn't know which was the correct answer when we guessed and guessed. ”
"Ahh ”
"Upstairs, I don't think you've woken up, you're still dreaming. ”
"Haha, yes, yes, it's going to be released tomorrow?
I'm afraid that many netizens didn't realize that the fact was that they were unconsciously infinitely close to Han Qiu's sale.
The moment you open your eyes, is it a dream or reality?
This is difficult to judge, so in the movie, the dream thief will have his own totem, or reference, to judge whether he is in a dream or in reality.
For example, the protagonist's totem is a small spinning top.
...........
At the moment, Los Angeles, USA.
At a café, Oliver stared intently at a red thumb-joint-sized spinning top in his hand.
His brow was sometimes soothing, sometimes furrowed, and finally Oliver pinched the top with his thumb and forefinger, so that the top landed on the table, spinning non-stop.
Seeing this, Han Qiu said helplessly: "Oliver, you ....."
Ever since Han Qiu showed Oliver the script of Inception, this guy has been entangled in the plot, and it has been extended to real life.
Like now.....
Oliver raised his hand to interrupt Han Qiu, but his eyes were still fixed on the spinning top, "Qiu, I suddenly found that you can always surprise me like no other. This time in Inception, you managed to make me lose again. ”
Han Qiu smiled bitterly: "You believe me, this is reality, not a dream. ”
Oliver asked rhetorically, "Didn't you write in the script that if a person doesn't wake up, he won't be aware that he is in a dream." ”
Han Qiu had a black line: "But I remind you that this is not a dream." ”
"No, no, no, your reminder is useless, it just makes me think it's a lie you've weaved. ”
Oliver stared at Han Qiu with a serious face, then picked up the spinning top that had stopped on the table and shook it in front of Han Qiu's eyes, "Only this can tell me the truth." ”
Han Qiu: "........"
Looking at Han Qiu's headache, Oliver suddenly smiled, "Haha, dude, how was my performance just now?"
Han Qiu's cheeks twitched, damn, he said so much nonsense, it turned out that this guy was acting.
"Huh. Han Qiu said "hehe" with a paralyzed face, "To be honest, it's not good, if I were a director, I wouldn't use an actor like you." Oh no, I'm the director, so I'm not going to use you as the main character. ”
Oliver shrugged: "It hurts my heart so much for you to say that, but it's good that my profession is not an actor." ”
Han Qiu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly got down to business: "Forget it, you still tell me about your Warner's plan, right?"
Oliver laughed, "What else can you do? The production cost is half of the investment of the two of us. Didn't you say that it would be about 200 million dollars, so let's give 100 million each. ”
"Okay, did you bring the contract?"
"Of course. Oliver snapped his fingers and pulled the contract out of his briefcase.
Han Qiu took a closer look, and the contract was almost the same as when he cooperated with The Matrix, the only thing that changed was the details such as the movie and production cost.
After feeling that there was no problem, Han Qiu signed his name.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Oliver said as he signed his name.
Han Qiu stretched out his hand to hold it and said with a smile: "I believe that I will definitely give you Warner's dream-like cooperation experience." ”
"Oh, damn it, don't mention it, I'd have thought this collaboration was a dream. ”
Han Qiu laughed: "Then enjoy this dream." ”
..........
After signing the contract with Warner, Han Qiu was not in a hurry to return to China to form the crew. First, Ye Chen and Lin Hua took away most of the company's personnel. The second is that the Oscars are about to start.
Han Qiu has received official news that the award ceremony will be held on May 20, and there are still about ten days to go.
Therefore, in his spare time, Han Qiu casually strolled around Hollywood, looking for the male lead actor of the Matrix by the way.
At that time, when Han Qiu was finishing the script, he thought about this problem. After thinking about it, he still decided to hand over the starring role to a Hollywood movie star.
As for the role of the Chinese, he will give several supporting roles, such as the people in the Dream Gang. In addition, Han Qiu is ready to hand over another important role to the Chinese.
In the original script, this person is a Japanese entrepreneur and the boss behind the scenes who hires the protagonist and others. Now, Han Qiu has changed him to a Chinese entrepreneur.
Anyway, he's the director, and he has the final say.
However, after two days of shopping, Han Qiu didn't find a protagonist or supporting role that satisfied him. At this time, Wen Ziren contacted Han Qiu to discuss the next movie.
But Wen Ziren was a little strange this time, he was going to take Han Qiu to a place in the United States, saying that he was going to see where his inspiration came from.
Han Qiu thought about it for a while, and thought that there was still a week before the Oscars, so he agreed to go with Wen Ziren.
Their destination was Bridgeport, Connecticut.
A city in the New England region of the northeastern United States.
..........
On the 14th, on the plane to Bridgeport, Han Qiu and Wen Ziren sat side by side.
At present, Wen Ziren has been in China for several years, and has completed a total of four films, including three Chainsaw Horror and one Dead Silence.
After the release of Dead Silence, although the box office and reviews were good, there was no sense of "amazing" brought by Chainsaw Horror, nor did it have the sense of disparity of the plot reversal. Therefore, the sensational effect caused by this movie is not as big as the chainsaw horror.
The American media simply praised Dead Silence as a good horror movie, and then praised Wen Ziren's "horror" skills.
"Are there any new plans lately?" asked Han Qiu.
Wen Ziren nodded: "Yes, when you get to Bridgeport, I'll take you to a museum, and you'll be clear." ”
"Museum?" Han Qiu's mind was full of question marks, "What museum?"
"Placing cultural relics. ”
Han Qiu was speechless, "Isn't the museum just for placing cultural relics?"
"No, no, no. Wen Ziren shook his head, "These cultural relics are different. ”
"What's different?"
Wen Ziren smiled and deliberately sold a pass, "When you get there, I'll explain it to you." And that place, ordinary people don't have the opportunity and don't dare to visit it. ”
Looking at Wen Ziren's malicious smile, Han Qiu's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
The average person doesn't have a chance?
Don't dare to visit?
Could it be.....
Thinking of Wen Ziren's "terrifying" directorial path, a chill instantly hit Han Qiu's back.
Grandma's, this kid won't take himself to that kind of place.
Wen Ziren looked at Han Qiu's slightly wrong face, and said with concern: "Director Han, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Han Qiu said with a dry smile.
"Well, I thought you were airsick. ”
Han Qiu was embarrassed, where am I fainting, I am fainting you.
