That night, after Han Qiu sent Yuan Meng home, he left alone. Since then, he hasn't asked about the movie just now, and he hasn't asked Yuan Mengwei if Mao will become the cinematographer of this movie.

The last sentence before the two parted was just a sentence of "goodbye when they turned on".

For some reason, Han Qiu suddenly felt a trace of sadness. Maybe we won't be able to drink together again.

The next day, Han Qiu returned to the Demon Capital, ready to prepare funds.

Naturally, Han Qiu still chose Warner, and Warner has been waiting for Han Qiu's news, and the two can be said to hit it off.

Now, the whole world is no stranger to the two "brothers" of Huaxian and Warner. The two companies are like twins who grew up wearing a pair of open crotch pants, they are always inseparable. If the next movie wasn't made by the two of them, everyone would be surprised.

Han Qiu and Oliver don't mind, twins are twins, they are originally cooperative and mutually beneficial, one has a good box office appeal in the United States, and the other is calling for wind and rain in the Chinese film and television industry, and the two add up to far more than a simple 1+1 effect.

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. Needless to say, the protagonist is not even a supporting role.

In those days, the Chinese people who could squeeze into the Titanic, uh...... It's not that there aren't, but there are none. Historically, there were indeed a few Chinese people on the Titanic, but all of them were workers, that is, boiler workers.

The rest, all foreigners.

Therefore, this time Han Qiu is going to select all foreign actors to participate.

......

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

Number two, Warner Headquarters, 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 invariably showed strange looks.

The two sides have collaborated on so many movies before, either superhero movies or science fiction films, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing as a romance movie.

In addition to this, there is one more point......

"Director Han, are you going to make a love movie?" Bill looked at Han Qiu with a surprised expression.

Oliver was also puzzled: "Why don't you make a science fiction movie? ”

He actually wanted Han Qiu to shoot the two types of movies he suggested, which are the two most box office movie genres in the film industry right now. Besides, Oliver is not the foundation of Han Qiu's romance films, I don't know if he can still be unmatched at the box office as before!

Hehe, don't believe in my strength? This is a wedding gift I gave to my daughter-in-law, a testimony to our strong love, you know. 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." ”

"Moreover, who said that this is an ordinary romance movie?" Han Qiu looked at the two and teased, "You haven't finished reading the script yet, have you?" ”

I really haven't finished it, but... Bill suddenly thought of something and said, "You mean.... Will the Titanic sink?"

"Yes. Han Qiu said with a smile, "The ability of disaster movies to attract money is not smaller than that of science fiction movies." ”

The reason why Titanic is a classic, the essence 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 male protagonist sacrifices himself for love to achieve the female protagonist in the end, the sensation caused is not as strong as the shipwreck of the Titanic.

For the hair?

Because there are so many people who die in shipwrecks!

So many people have died, and the female protagonist survived because of the sacrifice of the male protagonist, which can better set off the greatness of their love!

Obviously, Bill and Oliver understand this too. After listening to Han Qiu's words, the two of them finished reading the script, and then looked at each other with a thick look of shock.

Lying in a groove, can romance movies still 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 filming the Titanic, he has made several sci-fi 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 the foundation of disaster movies that Cameron has a big disaster and love together. This one is really successful, and the effect is good, good against the sky!

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 also lit up, obviously aroused great interest, "This movie is really good, and there are a lot of selling points! Especially this emotional hand, if it is played, not many viewers want it." But..."

"But what?" Han Qiu asked with a frown.

Oliver turned his attention to Bill, who saw this, smiled bitterly, and said: "Fox has also prepared a love movie recently, and I heard that the investment has reached 200 million US dollars, if we shoot the Titanic now, we may collide with them." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Han Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically. He also wondered how he received the news.

"Inside message. Bill squinted and smiled.

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

"You also said, it's just a possibility, the cycle of movie shooting is different, how can it be so easy to run into it. And even if you want to run into it, Fox can choose to avoid it. Han Qiu looked away indifferently, "No matter how bad it is, even if you run into it, what if you run into it?"

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 romance movies, which will definitely attract the attention of the audience." Another point is the attribution of the Oscars. ”

Han Qiu suddenly, this guy, before the movie was made, he thought of taking the Oscar?

However, he also admired Bill's vision and saw the potential of the Titanic at a glance.

But will Han Qiu be cowardly?

He has taken out this box office and Oscar double killer, will he be afraid of other movies?

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

Oliver and Bill looked at each other, you don't know what people are shooting, you have so much confidence?

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

It is true that the script given by Han Qiu is good, but they still don't understand where Han Qiu's confidence comes from. You know, this is not a science fiction movie, nor is it a superhero movie.

But out of years of cooperative relationship and trust in Han Qiu, Bill hesitated for a moment, but still 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 the Titanic that moved him. With a good script, the rest depends on how much the director can play on this basis.

"Happy working together!"

Han Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, brother is a master key, any type of lock can be opened.

......

In the next three days, Han Qiu and Warner signed a contract, with each side contributing $75 million, for a total production cost of 150 million. As for the distribution of profits, it is the same as before.

In addition, both parties are also preparing to look for advertisers in this regard.

When they worked together before, Han Qiu and Warner also pulled advertisers, and almost every movie had it, but the money was not very much. And this time the Titanic, there are many more business opportunities than those science fiction movies.

First of all, the costumes!

The story takes place at the beginning of the 19th century, when the fashion was very different from what it is now, and it is necessary to find professional fashion designers and companies to do this.

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

Like Inception, sponsors are not particularly easy to pull, grandma is running around the world, except for clothing, other labels are really not easy to stick.

Therefore, Han Qiu and Warner will never let go of this "ill-gotten gain"!

........

Just when Han Qiu and Warner conspired to attract advertisers, another Hollywood giant, Fox headquarters.

As Bill said, this time they are indeed going to produce a big-budget fantasy romance movie "Elven Forest". 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 made his debut to shoot chainsaws, and he had a dispute with others over the role of jigsaw, although he won in the end, but it also left a gap.

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

At this time, Joey was discussing with the producers of Fox about the start of the movie.

Producer: "We received news that Warner and Huaxian are going to work together to shoot a romance film!"

"That Huaxia director Han Banxian?" Obviously, Joey is 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 him directing. The producer was impressed, and seemed to be very jealous of Han Qiu, "This Chinese director is really amazing, especially the Inception released during the summer vacation, which is indeed a modern science fiction classic!"

Joey shook his head: "But he's going to make a romance movie." ”

"Who knows what his romance looks like?"

Joey's eyes narrowed: "I am indeed inferior to him in science fiction films, but in romance films, I am not afraid of him!"
