Chapter 404: The Book Has Its Own Golden House

Early the next morning, Lin Han printed out the half-finished cross talk script, put it in his shoulder bag, and drove to the preparatory team in a dashing manner, ready to meet Zhang Yimou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sun shines through the dappled branches on both sides of the street, and the summer morning is a little cooler, when the traffic is already dense on several main roads, and the car radio begins to say hello to listeners!

After Lin Han followed the navigation all the way and stopped, he finally arrived in the gymnasium before ten o'clock, and this time the World Science Fiction Convention will be held in the Wukesong Gymnasium, and various stages will be set up at that time.

Perhaps there are few well-known writers who are as light as Lin Han, and they came alone without any assistants, and they can't be seen to be one of the most famous writers today.

The name Zhang Yimou is not unfamiliar to the people of the whole country, and he has made major breakthroughs in art and commerce, and it is also accompanied by praise and denigration, as many people like him, as many people hate him!

In Lin Han's impression, Zhang Yimou is a taciturn northwestern man, and he even has a large and sophisticated production team, such as their studio in a financial location or some secluded garden.

Perhaps the office area is vast, and the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass on the well-dressed industry elite, and you can even imagine the phone ringing on the desk.

However, the facts surprised Lin Han greatly, a man who was nicknamed a national teacher by the outside world actually had only a few grass platform teams, and even this so-called office space was temporarily rented!

"Teacher Lin, hello, I am Director Zhang's assistant Pang Liwei, and I am also an accountant and cashier, and this is our driver Xiaohou. Director Zhang is thinking over there, I'll take you over. ”

Pang Liwei wears many hats, and she is no longer surprised by Lin Han's surprised expression, as if this is a very common thing.

Lin Han adjusted his expression, and he asked in a low voice, "Does Director Zhang have any habits or taboos?"

"Don't worry, Director Zhang is actually a chatter who can talk to people and fall asleep, and he is also a workaholic. As a Mercedes-Benz but only burns second-hand Alto oil, maybe you can have a serious conversation with him. ”

On the office desk over there, Zhang Yimou appeared in Lin Han's sight a little roughly, his cheekbones protruded slightly, his deep eye sockets, cheeks were symmetrically sunken, and wrinkles appeared on his face, a little like a wolf!

Lin Han took the initiative to walk in front of him, stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello Director Zhang, I'm Lin Han, and we talked on the phone yesterday." ”

Zhang Yimou looked at Lin Han, and after shaking his hand, he replied: "Yes, you are the writer specially sent by the Ministry of Culture and the preparatory team of the World Science Fiction Convention, and you look quite young!"

"I just don't look old. Lin Han said modestly, the original owner of his body graduated from the directing department, although Zhang Yimou graduated from Nortel, it does not prevent him from becoming the idol of the original owner.

Something unexpected happened to Lin Han, Zhang Yimou actually bent down and took out a few books from the drawer next to him, and said with some embarrassment: "My son is a big fan of yours, he especially likes this "Inception", and my eldest daughter and wife even cried when they read "A Bouquet for Algernon". When they heard that you were coming, they pestered me for an autograph, how about you help me?"

The style of painting changed abruptly, Lin Han nodded stunnedly, who would have thought that Director Zhang was such a person, he searched for the pen here, and was about to write his name, and then asked adding: "Do you want to write their names, it should be better." ”

Even at the signing meeting, Lin Han asked his readers that there are many signed books, but the signed book with his name written on it is unique!

"Okay, you sit down first, sit down and write slowly. Zhang Yimou patted his head, he found that he and Lin Han were still standing.

After writing the names of Zhang Mo and Zhang Yinan, Lin Han returned the novel to Zhang Yimou.

With this relationship foundation, Lin Han felt that his relationship with Zhang Yimou should be eased a little, so he was ready to talk about business!

"To be honest, I've read your novels, and even my son keeps encouraging me to adapt your novel "The Three-Body Problem", but I don't have much time at all, and I haven't found an investor right now. The background of "The Three-Body Problem" is very good, it is becoming more and more expanded, if it is filmed well, it will definitely be a science fiction blockbuster! I don't know if the domestic investors have the courage to do so, our domestic films need such a new genre. ”

Lin Han was a little moved by his idea, how many directors can be found in China who surpass Zhang Yimou? He is not only famous, but also likes to try new things, and is willing to break through himself, it seems that it is a good choice to hand over the "Three-Body Problem" series of movies to him!

At this time, Lin Han completely forgot his original intention, and he began to communicate seriously with Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, if you can get the script right, I can appropriately reduce the price of the film adaptation, and also invest in it myself." Although it is impossible to invest all of them, it is still no problem to take tens of millions. ”

As a billionaire, even if Lin Han buys a luxury villa in Yanjing, he still has a lot of money in his hand, and he can't make much money by investing that money, so it's better to invest in his novels and make movies!

If "The Three-Body Problem" can be presented from Zhang Yimou's hands, then the box office of the movie should not be difficult, after all, this is a joint cooperation between a super IP and a big director.

It's just that after choosing Zhang Yimou, the movie adapted from the novel will receive more attention and criticism, and the pressure will be very huge.

The qualification standards for rookie directors and well-known directors are naturally different, and as soon as the name Zhang Yimou goes out, there will be many spontaneous and annoying people, and it is estimated that "Three-Body Problem" will also be affected.

Zhang Yimou didn't expect Lin Han's hand to be so big, not only was he willing to discount the adaptation rights, but even invested in it himself, this determination is obvious.

"Tens of millions is not a joke, I plan to make the movie into a series, tens of millions of yuan may only be 20% of the total investment, once the loss is the kind of loss. Haven't you ever thought about making this movie yourself?" Although Zhang Yimou is famous, there is still a difference between him and Lin Han in terms of earning power, Lin Han is muffled and made a fortune.

has filmed so many blockbuster movies, but the salary and dividends are always very small, and even went to court with his old club to ask for salary, Zhang Yimou's annual income is really not as good as Lin Han's year.

Lin Han, who has his own golden house in the book and has assets of more than 100 million yuan, has nothing to worry about, he just wants to see "The Three-Body Problem" change from words to pictures and appear in the cinema!

Even if he loses tens of millions, it doesn't matter, his books continue to make money from booksellers all over the world, and he can't hurt his muscles and bones at all, just write one or two new books when the time comes.

Faced with Zhang Yimou's doubts, Lin Han said: "I must have thought about directing myself, but I don't have that ability, I can't watch "The Three-Body Problem" be destroyed by myself." Director Zhang, if you are really willing to direct the "Three-Body Problem" series, I will definitely support it!"

"That's a big project, how can you say shoot it. At least now investors have to watch the box office of your "The Martian", if the domestic box office is excellent, and you can harvest a part of the box office abroad, it will definitely attract a lot of investors. ”

"The Martian" is one of the more mediocre of Lin Han's many novels, which is far worse than "The Three-Body Problem", after all, "The Three-Body Problem" won the Nebula Award for Best Novel some time ago, and there are many readers!

Lin Han nodded, at the World Science Fiction Convention, Chang'e Pictures can also be regarded as an increased publicity bargaining chip, the English version of "The Martian" trailer will appear, and at the same time, it will also release behind-the-scenes production specials and posters or something, and strive to swipe a face card in front of the world's science fiction fans.

The popularity of the movie is already there, and there is still half a year before its release, and whether it can be converted into a box office depends on the efforts in the future.

In the following time, Lin Han and Zhang Yimou chatted more and more, chatted about the creation of the novel of "The Three-Body Problem" thoroughly, and even exchanged phone numbers with each other!

Pang Liwei looked at Lin Han and the two of them dumbfounded, thinking that Lin Han was more restrained, but she didn't expect it to be a talking basket, the two of you kept talking back and forth, and sometimes they couldn't understand what they were talking about.

All she could do was bring Lin Han a bottle of mineral water and put it in her hand, then quietly turned around and walked out.

"You can prepare the script slowly now, I will definitely work hard to promote the "Three-Body Problem" movie, believe me!" Lin Han almost patted his chest and assured that in his previous life, he watched the "Three-Body Problem" movie become stranded from a lively start of filming, and since he has the ability in this life, he must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Zhang Yimou has made many different types of movies, but this is the first time he has encountered a science fiction film, and the director who turned from the cameraman is already a little itchy, he rubbed his hands and said: "It's decided, when I finish directing the opening ceremony of this conference, I will start grinding the script." ”

Lin Han was annoyed, "Speaking of the World Science Fiction Convention, I just remembered today's business. I forgot about it while chatting, didn't I say that I wanted to combine science fiction with our country? I just thought about writing a script for science fiction cross talk, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he took out the printed document in his shoulder bag and handed it to Zhang Yimou, waiting for the evaluation!
