Chapter 782 - The Man Who Knows the Most Stories
"Now the audience is looking forward to how you can complete the plot of Sherlock Holmes's disguised suicide in "Shenxia". Truth be told, I can't wait to see the script for Season 3 now!"
"In fact, there is already foreshadowing in front, if you analyze it carefully, you can get the answer, there are at least ten clues, don't say you didn't pay attention. ”
Zhang Chu doesn't want to devote himself to the creation of the third season so quickly, and now that the second season has only been broadcast for a long time, there is really no need to rush too much.
As the director, David George filmed everything in the series, so he is very clear about the hints.
For example, Watson's special perspective, crashing into Watson's bicycle and the garbage truck that happened to arrive, these pictures are not casual, but have special meanings.
However, as a TV series that focuses on crime reasoning, he obviously won't take the initiative to reveal the answer to the audience!
Let them watch and discuss it repeatedly by themselves to maintain the popularity of the TV series.
No reasoning film or television work will directly announce the answer.
"Maybe you really should keep writing Sherlock, a lot of readers in the UK are asking this question when we go on the radio. ”
Zhang Chu spread out his hand and said helplessly: "It is estimated that I will still serve as the screenwriter of this series, but there is no need for it." I'll probably write a book in Chinese next, with a less pleasing subject. ”
"What do you think of the Golden Globes?" asked David George.
Zhang Chu sat in the stands on the second floor, a round table with flowers, he picked up a glass of champagne and said, "It looks a little shabby, the venue is too small." Maybe I made the wrong decision to come to the ceremony!"
The place was unfamiliar, and everyone else was socializing in circles, which was obviously not very attractive to him.
Sure enough, the awards ceremonies all over the world seemed to have the same feeling, nothing special.
David took a sip of champagne, "Maybe you can go and take a picture with the stars below?"
"I didn't think about it, they didn't know me, and I didn't see the person I was looking for. ”
He's not a fan of any of the actors, but he really wants to meet the legendary man who knows the best storytelling in Hollywood.
The other party is considered a leader among writers, but he has not shown up for the time being.
"Who do you want to photograph with? I'm familiar with British actors, so I can introduce you. ”
"He's not British, did you think Stephen King would be there today?"
Zhang Chu looked around and asked, that legendary writer is the one who has been adapted and used the most in Hollywood.
Almost everyone's first impression of Stephen King is that he is a famous, rich, and best-selling master of horror!
The writer is not even limited to books, Stephen King is a writer, screenwriter, actor and producer, and a former director.
There are countless classics, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "Miracle in the Green Mile", "The Shining", "The Dark Tower" and so on.
Even if it is famous all over the world, it still works!
Although many people criticize his articles for not having any literary value and no connotation, it does not prevent him from becoming a god with many fans.
Zhang Chu took this as his goal and was ready to learn from him.
The vast majority of writers sell their work to Hollywood by the inaction after getting a big check.
But Stephen King will only charge a $1 licensing fee, but will require approval rights for the writer, director and main actors.
Most of the time, he pays dividends in the later stage, rather than the huge copyright transaction fees in the early stage.
Of course, the success of the other party is also based on the success of the work.
Zhang Chu is now developing in the direction of producer, not just selling at a high price, but also having to occupy a certain say in the follow-up expansion!
From the current point of view, it is not too difficult for him to become the new Stephen King, but he has to adjust the course of the work.
At least works like "Norwegian Wood" or "Farewell My Concubine" don't have much market in Hollywood.
He needed to write more works that were suitable for European and American readers.
However, now Zhang Chu does not plan to write a European and American specialty, which will cause him to lose fans in China.
Anyway, he will write several books every year, and those that are biased towards China, Europe and the United States can take turns to write a little, preferably the kind of work that can conquer both aesthetics!
However, works like "The Da Vinci Code" are hard to come by.
The next work that could have caused a global sensation doesn't know when it will appear!
Just as Zhang Chu was looking down and pondering, David George leaned over and said, "Look at your right front, it seems to be Stephen King." Are you going to go over?"
Not far away, a gray-haired man in a suit was chatting with a friend, looking to be in his sixties and wearing a pair of glasses.
Who else would it be if it wasn't Stephen King!
Zhang Chu was suddenly a little timid, "You said that I went over to take a photo with him, would he agree?"
"No one will refuse strangers at the awards ceremony, and it is not ordinary people to enter this award ceremony. Just say you're a fan of his. ”
David George is a thinker, giving advice on the side.
Zhang Chu was also simple, he saw the opportunity, and when Stephen King finished chatting with his friends and was about to turn around, he walked over with a few brisk steps.
"Sorry to bother, I'm a fan of yours, can I take a picture with you?"
Probably Stephen King rarely encounters this kind of situation, especially when he stays with such a big star, and a smile appears on his wrinkled face: "Are you sure you're not looking for the wrong person? I'm not an actor." ”
"As it happens, I'm not an actor either. I'm an author and screenwriter, just like you. ”
Stephen King didn't refuse, he approached Zhang Chu for a selfie before asking, "It turns out that we are peers, maybe I should read your work." Can I be lucky enough to know this?"
"In fact, I don't have many works in English, only "The Da Vinci Code", "Life of Pi", "15 Years of Wanli" and "Sherlock". ”
"Oh! It turned out to be you!" Stephen King suddenly realized, he only recognized Zhang Chu at this time!
"The Da Vinci Code is wonderfully written, it's the best mystery I've seen in the last decade, and it's very religious. You're such a writing genius!"
Zhang Chu was very embarrassed to be praised by the master of terror like this, and this was not his credit.
"I'm glad you liked it. ”
"I've known your name for a long time, and I hope to see more of your follow-up work. By the way, the ending of Life of Pi is very good, and this ending takes the whole story up a notch!"
Stephen King really read these works written by Zhang Chu and praised them.
On the list of the world's richest writers announced a few days ago, Zhang Chu overtook himself with an income of 58 million US dollars, which can be regarded as an absolute young leader!
