Lin Han's identity is actually quite embarrassing, his "Out of the Solar System" failed miserably at the box office and word of mouth, and many fans and book fans did not buy his account. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after his transformation, he became a best-selling science fiction author, writing such praised novels as "The Country Teacher", "I, Robot", "The Martian", and "Jurassic Park".

If Lin Han is really asked to shoot it, maybe those readers themselves will have infighting, and the author is the one who knows the work best, but the experience of "Rushing Out of the Solar System" is still vivid.

"How dare you let me shoot it?" Lin Han couldn't help but confirm again that he had negotiated with so many film companies, and none of them revealed such an idea, which was too unbelievable.

Li Li nodded, "I've seen your director's cut, and it's okay, why that movie failed, we all know a little bit about the inside story." My uncle said you were the most gifted student he'd ever had, wouldn't you want to remake a sci-fi film to impress them? ”

Lin Han looked at Jiang Yuan, and his mentor nodded and said that this was indeed the case, although he made a bad movie, but Lin Han was indeed very talented, otherwise he would not shoot a "big production" directly as a newcomer.

At this time, Lin Han's heart was pounding, was he really ready to shoot a movie? Whether I really want to make a movie or a dream come true, I can't stop it.

Such tempting conditions made him want to say yes several times, but being in charge of a crew is not as simple as imagined, it is enough to let the actors stand directly in front of the camera, there are too many things required.

Now Lin Han can't even grasp the color and composition, if he wants to shoot it, there should be no other way than to copy the version of Matt Damon in memory as it is.

However, the version on Earth that Lin Han saw was also the final film, and he didn't know anything about the filming process, and if he agreed, he might ruin his own novel.

"Actually, I think it's enough to be a screenwriter for a movie, and I'll direct sci-fi movies, but not this one." Lin Han finally thought clearly, he struggled and said, "Thank you for your proposal, I can easily become a candidate for director." ”

Jiang Yuan sighed with some regret, "Xiaolin, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" You should be the best person to shoot your own work. No one knows better than you what this novel should look like, and this is your chance to prove yourself! ”

"Mr. Jiang, I have thought clearly, I want to make my own science fiction film, which is my own from beginning to end. "The Martian" is too big, so it's better to leave it to someone else to shoot, unless you're willing to wait for me for a year. ”

Chen Jiaxuan suddenly said on the side, "Actually, waiting for a year is not something unacceptable, now the film has not yet been approved, no preparations have been started, and filming cannot be started in a short period of time, and most of the projects that are launched in a hurry will not work." ”

"That's true, if we sign a contract now, we haven't even organized the team, the location has not been established, and you have not written the script. You can think about it for a while and answer when we decide to start shooting. Li Li refused to let go of Lin Han, a point worthy of publicity, there is nothing to hype about ordinary directors filming "The Martian", but Lin Han's return to the science fiction film market is worth writing about.

Lin Han spread out his hands and said helplessly: "I will take out the script as soon as possible, when do you need it at the latest?" ”

"Is it okay for two months? Maybe we will make appropriate changes to the script at that time, but we must get your consent, and the main plot will not change. ”

Two months is definitely a bit tense for an original script, but it is much easier for a novel adaptation, because the investor's requirements and subject matter have almost been established, and only the key points need to be revised, and it takes time to synopsis, outline, and character biographies.

Lin Han thought for a while, and he said: "Two months is no problem, but I hope that after the script is finalized, there will be no screenwriters with the group, it is too troublesome to revise on the spot." ”

What follows is the battle between Chen Jiaxuan and Li Li, two strong women, and the final result is that the film adaptation rights are 5% of the global box office share ratio and a symbolic transfer fee of 1 million yuan, and the screenwriter's price is 2% of the Chinese box office and 300,000 yuan.

The use of box office sharing is basically a drought and flood to ensure income, if it is a profit sharing, then the film company can do too much, 200 million yuan investment in the film at least 600 million yuan to return to the capital, followed by profit sharing, it is not cost-effective.

In fact, Lin Han felt that 200 million yuan was not enough at all, it depended on how the director continued to take out the money from Chang'e Pictures' purse, and learning to find investors to ask for money is also a director's ability.

"Then how about we sign the contract tomorrow after reviewing it?"

"It's better to be early but a big event, so that no one will worry about it every day." Lin Han said lightly, after he sent Li Li and Jiang Yuan to the elevator, he watched them leave before turning back.

Chen Jiaxuan was a little puzzled, "Actually, this movie should be easier to shoot, right?" Most of the time in the novel, the main character is alone, so if you come to shoot, it should be easier. ”

This is completely a layman's talk, an actor performs, the director's strength is not necessarily very low, in fact, whether it is "The Martian" or "Gravity", the requirements for the director are very high.

And the directors who shot these two movies on Earth, one won the Oscar for Best Director, and the other won the Saturn Award for Best Director, especially the use of a large number of subjective long shots in "Gravity" to bring the audience directly into space, and there is not enough ability to play at all.

……

The next day, when Lin Han and Li Li signed their respective contracts, the long-sensational battle for the adaptation rights of the "The Martian" movie came to an end.

Chang'e Pictures, on the other hand, uploaded the filming record through the website of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television as soon as possible, and everything went so smoothly.

So when netizens refreshed Weibo, they found a Weibo from Lin Han's just updated: "Although there is still a big gap between domestic sci-fi movies and Hollywood blockbusters in terms of special effects production, funding technology, imagination and content, it is impossible for Chinese audiences to watch only American sci-fi blockbusters all the time."

Our local film industry is maturing, Chinese science fiction is rising, and a number of new domestic science fiction films are embarking on a journey, "The Martian" will conquer the vast sea of stars under the leadership of @Chang'e Pictures! (To be continued.) )
