The news of Lu Changming's filming of "The Three-Body Problem" caused an uproar, which can be said to have shaken the science fiction literature circle and the film and television circles at the same time.

Although Lu Changming himself or the producer has never made exact remarks, people have already decided that Lu Changming is going to shoot "The Three-Body Problem".

Lin Yimou also knew about it, and hurriedly came to find Lu Changming.

Lu Changming can calculate the level and meet with Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, are you going to shoot "Three-Body Problem"?" Lin Yimou looked worried.

Lu Changming was stunned: "How do you know? I haven't announced it yet." ”

"The news that came out of the Science Fiction World Forum, everyone is talking about it now. Lin Yimou sighed.

Lu Changming recalled it and figured it out.

It's Lin Weixi who said it, it doesn't matter.

"That's fine, I do want to make "The Three-Body Problem". Lu Changming generously admitted.

"The company studied it overnight, and I also read "The Three-Body Problem" again, we all felt that "The Three-Body Problem" was too grandiose and could only shoot the tip of the iceberg, which was a hundred times more difficult than "Zhu Xian"!" Lin Yimou is a famous director and has a great eye.

He has already seen how difficult it is to shoot "The Three-Body Problem".

Lu Changming didn't refute it, because he also felt struggling.

He is a gold medal screenwriter, but it is difficult to write in the face of a huge work like "The Three-Body Problem", and he has only been at home for so long and has only made up more than a thousand words.

The biggest trouble is the limitation of the length of the movie, this time it is not possible to shoot it in two parts, at least Lu Changming thinks it can't.

He had to face a dilemma, whether to abandon many essences and only shoot some superficial civilization wars, using special effects to attract people.

But after thinking about it for several nights, he was reluctant in the end, the essence of "The Three-Body Problem" is definitely not in the high-tech war, in which human nature, social philosophy, and cosmic theory are as dazzling as meteors.

If you want to shoot, shoot in the most dazzling place.

But the question is, how to describe a dazzling and complete story of civilization in a limited time.

"It is impossible to shoot "The Three-Body Problem" in two parts. I feel very struggling, and my brain hurts every day when I think about it. Lu Changming said frankly.

Lin Yimou is even more worried: "Now the outside world has put the heavy responsibility of filming "Three-Body Problem" on you, if you don't shoot it, or if you shoot it badly, all your reputation will be ruined." ”

"I'll shoot, but slowly, in a hurry. Lu Changming touched his chin and thought, he must do what he can.

Lin Yimou was silent, and then said: "Have you ever considered the model of a four-part or five-part series? This is quite popular in the foreign science fiction industry." ”

"I'm thinking about it, it's impossible to shoot the upper and lower parts, and I can't control it. Lu Changming nodded.

He didn't like any four-part or five-part trilogy before, because this model is generally a separate story, leaving only a suspense at the end, and then depending on the box office, it will be just the money.

If the box office is more, it will continue to be appropriate, and if the box office is less, it will not be appropriate.

Now Lu Changming is somewhat compelled to make "The Three-Body Problem" perfectly presented, he also has to be a bad money.

"If you make a four-part series, even a trilogy, it is extremely expensive and time-consuming, and the average producer can't afford it, and you will spend years or even ten years, but you have to think about it. Lin Yimou said with concern, and he didn't want Lu Changming to invest his youth and hard work in the next few years in "The Three-Body Problem".

Not necessarily.

Lu Changming didn't speak, and he hesitated in his heart.

Filming "The Three-Body Problem" must be filmed, even if it is a five-part or six-part series, but there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and his future youth will be tied to "The Three-Body Problem".

With Lu Changming's sense of responsibility, if "The Three-Body Problem" is not filmed, he will definitely not be able to let it go.

"The Three-Body Problem" is equivalent to his burden.

"I also talked to the producer, and they said that they can buy sci-fi IP for you, so that you can test the water first, so as not to make yourself a pit when filming "The Three-Body Problem". Lin Yimou observed his words and finally said his purpose.

Let Lu Changming test the water first!

This is also the purpose of the producer.

Of course, the real purpose of the producer is not to test the waters, but to let Lu Chang retreat knowing that it is difficult.

Let you test the water, and then pounce on people without face, and you won't toss science fiction movies in the future.

"The Three-Body Problem" or something, don't even think about it.

"Test the waters? Lu Changming did not refuse, he knew the difficulty of filming "The Three-Body Problem", and he could not devote himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "The Three-Body Problem".

It's better to try the water to practice your hands first, so as to lay the foundation for the future filming of "Three-Body Problem".

"Okay, I immediately told the producer to let them buy some sci-fi IPs. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Lu Changming would plunge into "The Three-Body Problem" and would not be able to turn back for years or even decades.

LeTV Film and Television Company, the four major producers held another meeting to discuss Lu Changming's filming of "The Three-Body Problem".

Wang Badan has been scolding and scolding, eager to hammer Lu Changming to death, but he has no choice but to be the son of Lu Changming's infrastructure.

was depressed, Lin Yimou called and said that Lu Changming agreed with the producer's opinion.

Wang Bashan immediately laughed into a chrysanthemum face: "That kid agreed, hurry up and get him a sci-fi IP to fool him, let him die of the heart of filming sci-fi, and make money by filming romance with peace of mind in the future!"

The four major producers are very happy, and Lu Changming's cash cow has stabilized.

"Sci-fi IPs are not popular, they are basically petty fights, and the mode is still that earthlings defend against alien invasions, like "Sea Fortress", it has been flooded in the foreign film industry, plus the last time "Sea Fortress" hit the street, it is not pleasing to shoot this mode again. "The producers of Southern Film and Television are starting to get down to business.

"You care about it, we don't expect Lu Changming to make money, let him deal with it blindly. Wang Bashan snorted, "If he really wants to shoot, we can invest one million in each family, and we should give him a blow." ”

Movies are never movies in the eyes of investors, but commodities.

Three days later, several documents were sent to Lu Changming, and they were sent by Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, look at these, they are all relatively popular in the science fiction circle. "The Day of the Fall", "District Twelve", and "Flare" are all good materials. ”

These are relatively well-known in the domestic science fiction circle, and the producer can help buy film and television copyrights and then adapt them.

Lu Changming flipped through them one by one, briefly looked at the content introduction, and couldn't help frowning.

"It's all a small fight, it can be produced at a low cost, and the alien just shows his face. Lu Changming was not very satisfied.

This is not a sci-fi blockbuster, it's a sci-fi film, like raising an alien at home, and then composing the friendship between civilizations or something.

It's not that it's bad, but it's not to Lu Changming's taste.

He wanted a blockbuster.

"The producer didn't invest much this time, so we had to choose well. Lin Yimou laughed dryly.

"I'll pick it myself, and then tell the producer when I'm satisfied. "Lu Changming doesn't care about money, the two "Zhu Xian" made him earn a lot of silver, and it's a big deal to pay for it himself.

Lin Yimou had to go, and he was also helpless, on the one hand, he was a mercenary financier, and on the other hand, he was a whimsical Xiaolu.

It's too hard for me.
