Chapter 1000: Global Invitation [Two More Requests for Subscription]
Faced with the doubts of netizens, Zhang Chu has long become uncaring.
If you really pay attention to what the bars say, it will really be bald young!
Which of his works has not been controversial?
There are a thousand Hamlets out of a thousand readers, and all kinds of recognized masterpieces cannot escape the claim that they are over-praised, let alone that he should be a judge.
He himself doesn't know what it's like to be a judge, anyway, it's the first time ever, and he will wait until the time is over the show.
Now he is packing his clothes and belongings in his bedroom, his final exams are over, and he will fly to New Zealand tomorrow with a few friends in the dormitory.
Matcha has been sent back to Jiangcheng, and it is fun to eat in the bookstore, and every day fans make a special trip to Hanlinxuan Bookstore to meet this lazy cat, and it seems to have become a Douyin Internet celebrity.
Zhang Chu's next itinerary is very busy, after going to New Zealand, he will go to the United States, and after coming back, he will go directly to Xiangnan to record the program, fortunately, Jiangcheng is not far from Xiangnan.
In the rapid writing of the past few days, he has finished writing all the contents of the volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" and put it in the manuscript box, so that after he finishes traveling, he can directly write Kunlun Shrine, and his thoughts will not be messy!
said that if you want to write this series, then write it in one go, so that readers don't have to wait for it.
Now the update standard in the network has been raised higher and higher by a certain bastard, and when most authors still think that the 10,000-word update is an explosion, this bastard has been updating 20,000 words every day.
Zhang Chu's two more than 6,000 words a day is not fast, he wants to update it quickly, but the manuscript box is trembling.
This time he went to New Zealand, his focus was still on travel, and doing business or taking photos for Universal Pictures as a location could only be secondary.
What would "The Lord of the Rings" look like if it wasn't filmed in New Zealand?
Hit by such a thought, Zhang Chu was both looking forward to and afraid, what if a movie was made that was completely different from what he remembered?
Of course, making movies is always risky, but the final products of his works are quite good, this is not luck, but the choice of the producer is more reliable, and Zhang Chu himself also has a certain right to speak.
Since the TV series "Sherlock", the actors, directors and production team in it have been very attentive, not perfunctory, and do not want to be shoddy.
Later, "City Lights of Psychological Crime" became the highest-grossing movie among urban police films, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, and "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was a box office hit and is expected to become the top three in the annual box office list.
In addition, "Life of Pi" is waiting for the awards season, and Disney's "The Da Vinci Code" is ready to detonate the box office charts, and there are really no bad movies.
"The Lord of the Rings" has the opportunity to become the baptism of word-of-mouth and even the highest box office among all his book adaptations, and Zhang Chu is never willing to destroy this classic!
He wanted the world to see Middle-earth and feel the charm of that magical world.
"It seems that I have to practice my photography skills, and the photos taken are not good-looking, and Amway can't go out to these beautiful scenery. ”
Zhang Chu knows his photography skills well, but he really can't do it.
And many systematic lottery draws have not allowed him to draw pictures or shooting-related skills, so that there is always a gap between what he shoots and others!
Lighting, composition, angles are nothing, it all depends on the mood.
He began to worry at this time, and the photo skills of his friends didn't seem to be lit up, so maybe it would be better to record some videos directly.
Photos can be fake, but videos are generally more difficult to fake.
After making up his mind, he silently brought himself two power banks, and the most fearful thing about traveling is that the mobile phone is out of power, especially in a country where he is not familiar with life!
Zhang Chu sat in front of the computer to check the weather conditions over there, and then put a jacket in the box.
Just as he was humming a little song, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hi Chris, should I say good morning or good evening?"
Chris, who was far away in Los Angeles, rubbed his reddened eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay morning, the sun has just risen on my side." ”
"You woke up so early, what's the hurry?"
In Zhang Chu's thoughts, shouldn't Hollywood producers be busy with the lights and glittering all day long? Unspoken rules, actresses or something, how can they appear early in the morning.
Chris looked at the coffee cup in his hand, "We've got the first draft of the script written now, and we've been in contact with more than twenty directors who will see what they think about the script. You're also a producer, so you should come over and have a look and give us some advice. ”
Universal Pictures does not like people meddling in filmmaking, but that is also a reality.
Now that the "Lord of the Rings" film project is progressing slowly, if the original author gives some advice and suggestions, it may be able to help them open their minds.
After all, it is up to the world to decide whether to adopt these opinions or not!
Zhang Chu said with a smile: "I will come to the United States to record the Allen Show on July 9, but I have to go back to China to record another show on the 11th." If you can arrange a time in that day or two, I can go over and have a look. ”
In fact, Chris already knew about Zhang Chu's itinerary, but not from the side of Hanlin Culture Media, but through Random House.
"Very well, how about I arrange it on the morning of July 9th? The studio of the Allen Show is not far from us, so it won't delay your trip. ”
"No problem, you can communicate with my agency for the specific itinerary, and we'll see you then!"
Zhang Chu does not expect to be able to reproduce 100% of the "Lord of the Rings" movies on the earth, it is definitely unrealistic, and he can only try to retain the essence.
He did not underestimate the creativity of the filmmakers in this world, and the same content will be different and exciting.
No industry is so glamorous, and he thinks that the gold medal producer who partyes all day long has to stay up all night reading scripts and watching filming preferential policies around the world.
Anyway, he had to go to the United States, and it was nothing to add a little work in that limited time, and he felt that the more cautious Universal Pictures was, the better, so that he could keep improving and make good films!
"See you in Los Angeles!"
Chris hung up the phone, he couldn't help but yawn, and then pulled out an e-cigarette.
It was his idea to let Zhang Chu come over and give advice, and the rest of Universal Pictures didn't agree very much, they were afraid that the original author would do something.
However, Chris has obviously investigated, Zhang Chu has won a lot of awards as a screenwriter, only the original author knows his work best, Zhang Chu is the kind of person who dares to change himself drastically, and he doesn't want to keep everything.
This is crucial for film and television adaptations!
