Chapter 394: Cut
On September 10th, Han Qiu held a press conference for Hachiko in Kyoto.
Compared with the previous grand press conferences, Han Qiu was very low-key this time and did not invite too many media. But even so, there are still many media reporters who come uninvited.
With Han Qiu's current status in Huaxia, anything he does can surprise these reporters, let alone make a new movie.
At the press conference, Han Qiu just briefly introduced the movie Hachiko, and said that this is a warm movie related to animals. And then I talked about the production cost of the movie.
This time, the production cost of Hachiko was only 2,000 US dollars, which was less than one-tenth of the Titanic. This is basically the lowest production cost movie that Han Qiu has ever made.
When the reporters heard the news, they all showed puzzled expressions.
When did the big-spending Han Banxian only spend so much money to make a movie?
Han Qiu knew that these reporters would have such questions, and explained with a smile: "Indeed, Hachiko's investment is very small in my film career. So, I don't have as much of a claim for it as Titanic and Inception. It's good to get as much box office as you can at that time, but I don't think it will be too low. As for the loss? Sorry, I didn't think about it. ”
"Moreover, Bagong is the first literary film in my life, a literary film with no commercial elements at all. Hehe, after making so many commercial blockbusters, it's time to change to a lighter taste. ”
"But.... What about literary films?"
"I just want to take this opportunity to tell you that even if it is a small investment, even if it is a simple plot, as long as it can move the audience, then it is a good movie. ”
Han Qiu's self-confidence did not come in vain, in his previous life, Hachiko's investment was 1,500 US dollars, and the final box office was not high, only about 5,000 US dollars.
But you must know that this movie has not been released in the mainland of China or the United States! It has not even been released in the United Kingdom!
Where are the screenings?island countries, Brazil, Canada, Russia.... Wait a minute. These countries have small populations, and the largest of them is the island nation.
It is said that the island country alone contributed 2000+ box office, accounting for almost half. In this way, Hachiko's ability to attract money is not weak.
But in this life, Han Qiu is a hindrance, and the mainland ticket warehouse and the American ticket warehouse can't run.
But Han Qiu said so, but the reporters didn't think so.
Literary films?
Da Xian'er, make no mistake, you also started shooting literary films?
Big news, that's big news!
The reporters' eyes lit up, and they immediately found the tipping point of the topic, ready to go back and hype it up.
......
That night, the words Hachiko and literary films filled the national entertainment media.
[Han Banxian's first literary film: "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko"]
[After Han Banxian reached the pinnacle of the field of commercial films, he began to switch to literary films!]
[Literary film? The inflated Han Banxian!]
XX Entertainment News: "According to the latest news, Han Banxian's next movie is a pure literary film, which is also Han Banxian's first literary film. Han Banxian personally admitted that he wanted to change to a light taste, and kept saying that he would definitely not lose money this time.....
A certain film critic: "The market prospects of literary films have always been bad, or even very poor, and the audience doesn't want to spend money to drink a glass of boiled water, or listen to the director's reasoning boringly." I estimate that this film will be a Waterloo in the history of Han Banxian's films. He's going to pay for his hubris.....! The market will tell him everything ....."
This time, many media in China are not optimistic about Han Qiu's movie. Without him, the three words of literary films are too dazzling.
Even many viewers are a little hesitant, they are used to watching Han Qiu make commercial blockbusters, and now they are a little uncomfortable with a sudden change of taste.
"I'll go, it's not April Fool's Day, is it?"
"Ahhh~~ Daxian has changed to make literary films, so tangled, do you want to watch it. ”
"I'm also entangled, I used to go to the cinema to watch literary films, and I almost didn't see that I was sleepy, it was so boring, there was no exciting orgasm at all. ”
"Hee-hee, I decided to go see it anyway. No matter what movie Da Xian'er makes, the quality is still in place. Moreover, this is about dogs, and as a dog fan, I must check it out. ”
"As a fellow dog lover, I wanted to check it out too. ”
"I'm not a dog fan, but I'm a big fairy fan, no matter what movie he makes, I want to watch it!"
Many loyal fans of Han Qiu still expressed their support, and some people chose to wait and see, and many viewers who did not like literary films said that they would not watch them.
Compared with the sensation caused by Han Qiu in the past, Hachiko this time was much weaker, as if he died before he left the school.
In addition, when some domestic production companies saw Han Qiu's new movie start, they were originally going to avoid it directly and from a distance, and they didn't want to collide with it at all.
Many bloody lessons told them that none of the movies released at the same time as Han Banxian could get out of the way.
But now the literary films give them hope for their future!
Literary films, this is a taboo in Huaxia! Even if you are Han Banxian, you have to lie down this time.
Immediately, many production companies that were ready to avoid Han Qiu were let out.
This time, I have to fight with Han Banxian to the end!
I don't believe it, one of your literary films can overpower us!
........
Han Qiu didn't know what these production companies thought, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
As he told the media, this Hachiko is just a product of his life. I came out to play with my family, and by the way, I made a movie to adjust the joy of life, and I didn't think too much about it at all.
As long as you don't lose money in the end.
At this point, Han Qiu is still confident.
At this moment, in a villa on the outskirts of Kyoto, Han Qiu and a few people are resting here.
This is a villa area, the houses are all single-family, and the floating population is very sparse. Han Qiu chose this place as the filming location for the movie, including one or two villas nearby, which he temporarily rented as a place for the crew members to rest.
"Brother, how do I feel that we are here for a vacation, and there is no atmosphere of making a movie at all. Han Xia curled up and sat lazily on the sofa.
Han Qiu hugged the cub and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with you saying this, that's pretty much what it means." ”
"Don't, it's not easy for people to act with you, and you're just perfunctory to me?"
"Where's the perfunctory? It's called a combination of work and rest. I thought you wanted to be busy. ”
Hu Ge sat quietly on the side, silently watching the two bickering. He can't afford to mess with any of these two.
He was trying to avoid the aftermath of the battlefield, but he didn't expect Han Qiu to point the finger at him, "Hu Ge, let's talk about it." When I first filmed Inception, you followed me all over the world, tired and tired, and you almost stayed in Africa and couldn't come back. Compared with the play now, you should have the best experience of it then, right?"
Hu Ge glanced at Han Xia, who was pouting, and then said: "I think it, these two can't be compared, one is a commercial film, and the other is a literary film." The pace of commercial films is fast-paced and exciting, and the filming process is also the same taste. Literary films are like a cup of tea, you have to taste it slowly and shoot it slowly. ”
"But..."
"What Han Xia said is also right, after all, we are here to film, not for vacation, so we can't be too lax. ”
Han Qiu raised his eyebrows, this kid really helps Han Xia talk everywhere.....
"That's it. Han Xia echoed, "Brother, I've never seen you so lazy before, you scolded me when I was filming The Matrix." ”
Lazy?
Han Qiu's heart twitched slightly, old sister, I'm helping you watch people.
"That.... Okay, shoot in the afternoon. Han Qiu said helplessly.
......
For his eccentric sister, Han Qiu generally didn't have a good way. In his heart, as long as it is what his sister wants, he will find a way to meet it, including when Han Xia wanted to learn acting and become an actor, he also tried his best to meet it.
Under his own wings, Han Xia didn't have to worry about anything.
It's just that there will be a time when people will eventually break away from their wings, and after so many years of protecting themselves, it is almost time to end.
In the next few months, Han Qiu did his best to film, especially Han Xia's scenes, he filmed even more carefully.
On this day, in the courtyard of the villa.
A barbecue grill was placed in the middle, and Han Qiu was wearing casual clothes and was roasting a piece of beef.
Hu Ge stood aside with a little restraint, watching Han Qiu skillfully roast the meat. On the other side, an Akita dog squatted on the ground, also watching Han Qiu barbecue, and stuck out his tongue from time to time to add lips.
Of course, this is filming, and the few cameras around are the best illustration of this.
Hu Ge spoke first according to the lines: "Actually, my original dream was not to be an actor. As a child, I learned guitar. ”
Han Qiu didn't reply: "Really?"
"Yes, maybe when I was nine or ten, but I didn't stick to it. So I went to piano again, and I studied it for a long time. But my talent was so poor that even the teachers didn't want to teach me. Until the end, I went to study drama ... It was there that I finally found my talent. ”
Hu Ge smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, I never thought that I would become an actor, but it happened. However, it is not easy to be an actor, and I have experienced it for so many years. Therefore, I especially admire those who die for the sake of acting, and I admire directors like you even more....."
Without waiting for Hu Ge to continue complimenting himself, Han Qiu suddenly asked, "Do you love my sister?"
When he said this, Han Qiu turned his head and stared at Hu Ge directly, his eyes did not blink, as if he wanted to see something from someone's face.
Inexplicably, Hu Ge felt a pressure, not only Han Qiu's sudden explosive acting skills, but also some other things...
Hu Ge looked at Han Qiu, nodded stunned, and subconsciously said, "Yes, I love her." ”
Han Qiu sighed and nodded: "Very good, if this is really what you want, you must keep it in mind and remember this sentence, especially when life is the hardest!"
Hu Ge took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will." ”
"That's good..."Han Qiu smiled slightly, and Hu Ge also scratched his head with a smile.
"Cut!" Below, outside the camera, Han Xia bent his eyes and smiled happily.
