Chapter 153 The Most Suitable Candidate
"The Three-Body Problem" is the greatest work of Longguo science fiction writer Da Liu.
And his other work "The Wandering Earth" was adapted into a movie, and finally achieved great success, and is known as opening the door to science fiction movies in Dragon Kingdom.
It's a pity that this door, which had just been opened, was soon ruthlessly closed by Lu Han's "Magic City Fortress".
And "Three-Body Problem" is a work that is more widely known and has a better reputation than "The Wandering Earth".
When "The Wandering Earth" was first released, not many people were optimistic about it, but in the end it succeeded in counterattacking with its excellent quality. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of capital focusing on Da Liu's works, especially "Three-Body Problem", This is Liu's most famous work.
But the reality is that no capital dares to get involved in this national-level sci-fi work "Three-Body Problem".
why?
It's not that they don't want to, but that they don't have the ability.
The work "Three-Body Problem" is too famous, and it also bears the expectations of many book fans and sci-fi fans in Longguo. Anyone who messes up will definitely be scolded bloody.
You must know that there are many big names who are fans of this novel.
Even the former president of Ugly Country even took advantage of his privilege to see the English version in advance.
The influence is too great, but capital is discouraged.
Another main reason is that "The Three-Body Problem" was really difficult to shoot.
First of all, the first difficulty is script adaptation.
Because the whole Trisolaran world is very grand, there are three trilogy of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", "Dark Forest" and "Eternal Death", in which there are many characters involved and the story framework is very complicated.
It's impossible to do it in a two-hour movie.
At least it needs to expand this grand world through one movie after another, just like how Marvel builds the Marvel universe.
This requires very large capital and technical support.
No one would want to take that risk.
Because as long as you fail the first one, it basically means that you don’t need it later
I did it, and I just took the money for nothing.
To tell the whole grand story clearly, script adaptation is the most important part.
The story of Three-body has many branches, and they are interlocking. If the filming is based on the original work, it will appear very procrastinated.
How to choose, make the plot compact, and ensure that each movie has a good point of view, and tell the story clearly, this is an extremely test for the screenwriter.
And many of the popular science plot explanations are completed by long dialogues. How to present them is the ultimate test for screenwriters...
Completing the script is only the first step, and the second step is not easy to find suitable actors.
However, more difficult yet to come.
The manufacturing process of Tomoko in the first part took three days to volley.
After the two thousand warships were blown up in the second part, the shot of a single water droplet appeared in the short film in ten minutes, the metal magma rainstorm and nuclear explosion in the universe.
There is also the scene of the four-dimensional space cutting the hull, the internal image of the four-dimensional space...
Etc., etc.
The scenes depicted in "The Three-Body Problem" are too vast, and its majestic scenes are not known to be much more spectacular than "The Wandering Earth".
You must know that "The Wandering Earth" is almost the limit of the special effects of Dragon Kingdom movies.
If you want to show the vast scenes in "Three-Body" in the form of pictures, even Hollywood may not be able to produce satisfactory results.
If it can't be made, it can only be reduced to a big bad movie like "Magic City Fortress", which will directly weld the door of Long Kingdom's science fiction movies to death.
But once it can be photographed, it will definitely surprise the world.
Now Lin Feng, whose skills are almost full to the god level, does not want to use the classic film and television of his previous life to accumulate reputation and wealth for himself. He wants to complete those classics that the Dragon Kingdom could not complete in his previous life, or dare not try. .
So Lin Feng wants to challenge the shooting of "Three-Body Problem", even if it ends in a disastrous failure...
...
After settling down, Lin Feng naturally contacted Liu immediately.
Received Lin
Da Liu, who was on the phone with Feng, was surprised.
But soon he thought of the reason for Lin Feng's call. As a young genius who has risen like a comet in the Longguo film and television industry in the past two years, he was of course looking for something related to film and television.
Lin Feng and Da Liu made an appointment to meet at a place.
soon.
Lin Feng drove his Wuling Hongguang to the appointed place, where Liu was already waiting.
"Big Liu, hello!"
"Lin Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Big Liu is much older than Lin Feng. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and wears casual clothes, which is quite simple and down-to-earth, which is exactly the same as Lin Feng.
Da Liu used to be engaged in water conservancy and electric power engineering. Who would have thought that he would write a science fiction novel that would astonish the world...
The two sat down and chatted briefly.
Lin Feng started to get to the point: "Da Liu, I'll just say it straight. I'm looking for you this time because I want to buy the copyright of one of your novels."
Da Liu was not surprised, it seemed that he had expected it.
"Which novel?" Da Liu took a sip of tea lightly.
"Three-body!"
"Ah...cough cough cough..."
Da Liu coughed for a while, obviously choking on the tea.
After a long while, finally calmed down, Da Liu said in surprise: "Are you sure you want to buy the copyright of Three-Body Problem?"
"Um."
Lin Feng nodded lightly, but unquestionably.
Da Liu opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end. After thinking for a while, Da Liu nodded.
"Okay, I'll sell it to you!"
Da Liu didn't hesitate much, and didn't say much, so he agreed without hesitation.
Lin Feng asked: "The copyright fee, how do you think it is calculated?"
"Anything is fine!"
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, and Liu smiled and said: "Many people have asked me for the copyright, including Netflix of Ugly Country, which also bought the copyright of the Three-Body TV series, but for you alone, I don't want to talk about copyright fees."
"Because I really hope that the three-body problem can be filmed, and in Longguo, I think the most suitable candidate is you!"
