Chapter 268: Let in a wolf
Remake rights?
Han Qiu's expression was a little weird, grandma's self remade the things of the Americans in the previous life, and now the Yankees of this world are going to remake it again?
It's really an old saying....
In the dark, there is a fixed number!
"Okay, that's not a big deal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Han Qiu nodded generously and said briskly, "I also hope that more people will see this movie." ā
"Haha, Director Han, it's such a pleasure to work with you. ā
After speaking, Bill took out a contract document from his desk and handed it to Han Qiu.
"This is a contract for the transfer of copyright. ā
Han Qiu was full of smiles, but his heart was convulsive and he opened the contract, on it, various regulations and details had been written in detail, which was similar to the last transfer of the copyright of Infernal Affairs, and now there was a lack of specific transfer amounts and signatures of the two.
Han Qiu was speechless, Warner.... The action is really fast, this is clearly premeditated for a long time.
"Bill, you Warners are really well prepared. ā
The thickness of Bill's skin was comparable to the inverted turn of the city wall, which was enough to resist the erosion of α rays, of course he didn't care about Han Qiu's ridicule, "Hehe, the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared." ā
Han Qiu's fingers gently wiped the paper in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, "That's it... Let me guess if there are a few other Hollywood companies that are interested in Truman?"
He is not speculating, Infernal Affairs can attract so many companies, of course Truman can't fall into prestige, if he guesses correctly, after a while, other companies will also send people to contact him.
Hearing this, Bill and Oliver looked at each other, in fact, they had secretly gotten the news that Paramount, Fox, Columbia and several other companies really had this plan, especially Paramount, and the interest seemed to be not small.
Oliver was no longer hypocritical, admitting, "Yes, we received news that Paramount also has thoughts about Truman. ā
"However, Director Han, you will definitely choose our Warner in the end, won't you?"
Bill also leaned forward and said with a smile, "With the relationship between our Warner and Huaxian, of course Director Han wants to choose us." ā
Han Qiu couldn't help but smile and raised the contract in his hand, "You have all prepared the contract, do I still have room to refuse?"
He doesn't mind selling the remake rights to Warner, as Bill said, with the relationship between Warner and Huaxian, this is undoubtedly the best choice. Of course, if other companies found Han Qiu first, as long as the price was reasonable, he would not refuse anything.
In the end, Han Qiu and Bill signed a contract. At the beginning, Infernal Affairs sold for $11 million, but this time, Han Qiu gave up that fraction and sold it for $10 million.
After finishing the remake of the copyright, the three began to discuss the financing of the Matrix.
This time, Han Qiu wants to label this movie as a Chinese movie, not like the Dark Knight and the Joker, the whole movie is Hollywood except for himself, the director.
Therefore, Han Qiu had to use his Huaxian team to shoot, except for some white actors, all of them had to be labeled as Huaxia.
If it weren't for catering to the world film market, Han Qiu wouldn't have bothered to use white actors, so he would have simply used all Chinese actors. But in this way, even if the movie is released around the world, except for Asia, no matter how good the movie is, the box office in other places will not be much higher.
The fact that Chinese people can cater to American blockbusters does not mean that the United States can cater to Chinese blockbusters.
China was seriously invaded by the Yankees' culture, but the United States firmly controlled the invasion of Chinese culture.
Radio and television limit the number of foreign films imported every year, and deliberately win as much as 20 percent of the box office commission, just to curb the invasion of foreign culture.
But in the end, often local Chinese movies still lose to Hollywood blockbusters.
For example, Hollywood relies on the only one or twenty films that can be introduced into China, and it can beat all local films in China in terms of box office total.
What kind of thing is this?
In recent years, Huaxian has still been dominant in China, which has suppressed this defeat.
Otherwise, it is really shameless to be beaten by others to win more with less.
Han Qiu's ultimate goal is that one day, a movie composed entirely of Chinese people can flourish all over the world.
That represents the complete rise of Chinese films in the world!
Belch... Although the difficulty is a bit great, it doesn't mean that there is no hope, anyway, what Han Qiu wants is to take it step by step.
Take your time, it's like a bullet flying inside, Master Tang once said.
The steps are too big, and it's easy to pull the eggs.
The previous V and the Dark Knight took the lead, letting the whole world know that Huaxia has such a different company and such an abnormal director.
The Matrix was the first step in expanding that influence.
Therefore, in this movie, in addition to a few leading actors, Han Qiu decided to use Huaxia people for other important roles, such as several leaders of the Human Federation, and spiritual leaders like Fa Ge.
For example, there are several outstanding supporting roles that exude the brilliance of human humanity, all of which are played by Chinese people.
Anyway, it's the end of the world, there is no country anyway, anyway, I, Han Banxian, am the director, and I have the final say.
Therefore, after Bill and Oliver learned about Han Qiu's arrangement, they both felt a little strange. They are used to predominantly Caucasian movies, and it always feels a little uncomfortable to suddenly pop up in a movie where 50% of the other characters are not white except for the two protagonists.
It's like a thorn stuck in your heart, scratching you uncomfortable, and you can't pull it out.
The Federation of Mankind is dominated by the Chinese people, and the spiritual leader is also the Chinese people? This grandmother has legs.
Although these people don't have as many roles as the protagonists, they always feel that something is wrong.
It seems that there are no other advantages except for the fact that there are many scenes, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Bill spoke, "Director Han, is the appearance rate of white people too low?"
"It's still low?" Han Qiu pretended to be surprised, "The male and female protagonists are both white, and you told me that the appearance rate is low? You know, these are the two characters with the most scenes." ā
"Uh....." Bill was speechless, his face instantly embarrassed. Grandma's, I said so, but I always felt that something was wrong.
Han Qiu also joked in his heart, if it weren't for catering to the world film market, he wouldn't give the protagonist to a white man.
He remembered that in his previous life, a director also cooperated with the United States and made a movie that was released worldwide, called "The Great Wall". The protagonist is also white, and the other supporting characters are almost all Chinese. Although this has something to do with the fact that the movie is set in China, it is more or less related to catering to the American market.
In the end, the box office of the movie is okay in China, but it is very average in the United States, this is still the face given by the Chinese people, and the Yankees are not right about things, but they will not give face. As for the evaluation, it is unbearable to look at it directly......
Anyway, most Chinese people give very low evaluations, not to mention the United States.
In the final analysis, this movie is right, but the fault is that the quality of the film is not good.
Perhaps, Americans don't buy it, and it has something to do with the background of ancient China.
The Matrix doesn't have to worry about this, the plot of the movie is awesome, and the background is also the end of the world when all human beings have finished playing, and people of all colors gather together to survive.
Hehe, this is the real global village, as for who the village chief is and who is the boss in the village, it is still Han Qiu who has the final say.
And the protagonist is like the number one thug in the village, helping the village deal with the villain.
Bill is a little entangled now, saying that Han Qiu doesn't give face, the protagonist is white again, and he says that he gives face, and the village is the boss of the Chinese people.
"Director Han, I know you are Chinese, but the appearance rate of Chinesemen in the movie is too high, right?"
Han Qiu shook his head solemnly, "That's right, I'm from the perspective of all mankind, everyone is equal, how can I favor that race?" Besides, the protagonist is white, and he has the most scenes!"
In the end, Han Qiu's tone instantly rose, deliberately emphasizing this indisputable fact.
"These are the last days, Bill, and you have to forgive me. ā
Bill: "......."
He was speechless, and he couldn't think of how to argue with the ironclad fact that the protagonist was white.
Han Qiu saw that Bill had nothing to say, and deliberately said, "Then why don't you give the protagonist to the Chinese and the other characters to the white man, and let the two be reversed? But in this way, you have to think clearly about the sense of substitution in the hearts of American audiences." ā
He is not worried at all that the Chinese people have a pimple in their hearts about the protagonist of that skin color, anyway, everyone is used to Hollywood blockbusters, but the American audience is not used to it.
Bill shook his head, "Then forget it, but I still hope that Director Han will increase the appearance rate of white people a little, it's not a question of who is the protagonist." This is important if you want the film to be popular with American audiences. ā
"Okay. Han Qiu smiled and narrowed his eyes, and responded in response.
Seeing Han Qiu's unthinking appearance, Bill was speechless in his heart, he still felt that Han Qiu was perfunctory to him. But compared to the plan of replacing the protagonist with a Chinese, he still prefers the previous arrangement.
"Well, did I put a wolf into the American market?" Bill sighed helplessly.
