Chapter 929: The Value of Adaptation [One More Requests for Subscription]
Someone said before that the quality of this movie could be heard from the length of the applause, but Zhang Chu originally didn't believe it.
Now after the premiere of "Just the End of the World", although the audience stood up and applauded, it was obvious that they were all very calm, and the applause only lasted less than a minute.
Compared with the nearly ten-minute applause of "Farewell My Concubine", this movie seems very weak, sorry for the audience's earlier expectations.
Zhang Chu came out of the system space and applauded more casually, he really wanted to leave now, because there were a lot of inspirations about "The Lord of the Rings" in his head, and he really wanted to go back to the hotel to record these thoughts and save them from forgetting!
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and almost every author has had a similar experience: doing the rest of the work when an inspiration suddenly appears, and then it is not written down properly, and then only falling into regret.
"The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", as the finale of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, unfolds with two threads at the same time, these two threads are not contradictory, and it is easy to make mistakes if you describe them at the same time.
While the hobbits Frodo and Sam undertook the arduous mission of going to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring, Gandalf, who had already turned into a white-robed wizard, led the warriors of Middle-earth to defend the capital of Gondor in the final battle between light and darkness!
It is necessary to make visual changes to achieve this point with the film, that is, to transform the narrative subject.
Film art needs the audience to watch, and art needs readers to read.
Frodo is the character who drives the storyline, and it is his duty to destroy the Ring, and the whole work is in the process of destroying the Ring.
It's just that Frodo in the movie has obvious personality differences with the characters in it, Frodo in the movie is full of friendliness and always has a strong will, and in the movie, it is more about showing Frodo's growth process, so that the audience can see the growth and change of this hobbit, which is more realistic.
Zhang Chu intends to combine these two sexes, although Frodo is kind by nature, he has not experienced many hardships, and has gradually been sharpened in this long and arduous journey, so as to grow into a person with a strong character!
In addition, there are a lot of characters involved in it, and the relationships are also complicated, Zhang Chu intends to sort out the relationships between these characters, so that ordinary readers can understand and are willing to read it.
Not everyone has the leisure to peel off the cocoon from the book works, and many people read books for recreation and to pass the time.
There is another important place that Zhang Chu also needs to cut, that is, when Tolkien describes the war, Rohan's general recites poetry many times, which is impossible to happen in a fierce war!
While this helps to shape the general's heroic feelings, it does seem a bit out of place.
Therefore, this paragraph must not appear, and to create a hero, you can start from other angles.
Originally, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was the most refreshing to read at one time, but the restrictions on publication are relatively large, and every reader can't be allowed to hold a book thicker than the Oxford Dictionary, right?
Therefore, they can only be divided into three, and now Zhang Chu has already thought about the content of the third part, and he is just waiting to write it out when he returns to Yanjing!
Now the dialogue between the audience, reporters and the crew makes him completely incomprehensible, he didn't watch the second half of the movie at all, Zhang Chu can only pretend to be listening seriously, just like the expression he used to have in class, and he has been very superb after practicing for more than ten years.
After the premiere, most of the audience walked briskly towards the bathroom.
And Zhang Chu originally planned to watch another movie, but if it was all like this, he really couldn't appreciate it!
So he went back to the hotel directly, called the hotel service for a pot of coffee on the phone, and then sat on the balcony blowing the sea breeze or recorded the points he thought of in the system space, so as not to forget it when the time came.
Just as he was typing on the memo, the mobile phone screen on the table suddenly lit up, but there was no movement, which was the setting made when watching a movie.
If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he would have missed this call.
"Hey, Uncle Zhou, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Kang opened his mouth and said: "I thought you were watching a movie, where are you now, I have something I want to tell you face-to-face, about the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" movie." ”
Zhang Chu glanced at the scenery outside the railing, and he replied: "I just came back from watching the movie, I'm in the hotel, just knock on the door yourself." ”
"Okay, I'll be there in about ten minutes, do you need me to bring something back?"
"No, I've got everything here. ”
He had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that there was a moth in this one?
It didn't take long for Zhang Chu to hear a knock on the door, and he opened the door and let Zhou Kang in.
"With such good weather, why don't you go shopping in Cannes and go back to the hotel to play on the computer?" Zhou Kang quipped, looking relaxed.
"I've been around this morning, and now I'm just inspired to write it down. ”
In such an environment, the code words are stronger than Yanjing, which is rampant in smog.
Zhang Chu was thinking that if he wrote a book in the future, he could come to such a sunny island with a pleasant climate, but there was a problem with his diet.
Zhou Kang sat on the sofa, he turned on his iPad and said: "Now the battle for the right to adapt your "Lord of the Rings" movie has officially begun, and I have received offers from several companies one after another. In addition, those small companies that lack the ability have been filtered in advance by me, and they don't have the strength to shoot a commercial blockbuster. ”
There are countless small and medium-sized studios in Hollywood, but they can hardly afford to invest in a large-scale commercial film, and they are not qualified to enter the game at all!
"Didn't you say that you would wait until the trilogy was published to think about the film adaptation? ”
Zhang Chu is a little puzzled, the feelings of readers have not been cultivated, can there be something like sweeping the box office of movies and sweeping the Oscars in his previous life?
Zhou Kang took a sip of coffee, then was a little uncomfortable with the bitterness, grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank it.
"People only think this is a pretext, including Disney, the six major Hollywood manufacturers have already handed over an olive branch, they feel that the adaptation value of this movie is very large, and the series of magical works is simply tailor-made for Hollywood. ”
"When they finish watching the trilogy, they probably won't think so. Zhang Chu muttered in a low voice, "The Lord of the Rings" was known as the most unlikely adaptation work, it was published in 1955, and the film and television adaptation rights were sold in the seventies, but it was not until 2001 that it was released worldwide.
If the adaptation was easy, it would have been filmed in the eighties and nineties, and it wouldn't have to wait that long!
