Chapter 499: Hot Furnace [Second Update]

(50 monthly passes are close at hand, everyone give it a hand, and strive for three or four more today!)

For five consecutive days, Lin Han was discussing the problems he encountered with these professors, and at the same time, he was also studying and thinking about the plot of "Immortality" in his spare time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is actually a short story, and after Lin Han slowly wrote it, he found that it was only more than 20,000 words in total, but it could be filmed into a movie of more than 90 minutes, because everything in the movie was included in the novel!

Now that the novel is born, it is obviously much easier to adapt it into a screenplay, and the novel is a literary form like the screenplay, but they are completely different ways of expression.

Novels are mainly narrated, inseparable from portraying characters, telling stories, describing character portraits and hearts, etc., but the script is based on character dialogue, telling stories and expressing characters' personalities through character dialogues!

For the script, in fact, Lin Han is very familiar with it, otherwise it would be impossible to get the awards that are envied by serious screenwriters in China, so before November was over, he took out the script of "Immortality".

"You finished writing it so quickly?" Chen Jiaxuan said that he didn't believe it, other screenwriters wrote scripts all of them were grinding foreign workers, how could a novel and a script like Lin Han be completed at the same time.

Lin Han uploaded the novel and script to his mailbox, and then sent it to Xu Jiayan and professors such as Kong Daochun and Deng Birong of Peking University, which allowed professionals to find loopholes in the script!

After finishing this, he said to Chen Jiaxuan: "Although it is finished, it is not the final version." Scripts are constantly being revised, and sometimes they need to be properly revised during filming. By the way, do you want to read this script of mine?"

Although Chen Jiaxuan had already heard Lin Han tell the general storyline on the plane before, she still nodded happily: "Of course I want to watch it!"

She took Lin Han's iPad, clicked to read, and then went out of control.

……

Kong Daochun happened to have no class today, so he was looking at the experimental data in the laboratory, and he couldn't do DNA research in a hurry, most of the time it was boring.

At this moment, his mobile phone, which he had placed on the table outside the laboratory, suddenly vibrate.

"Professor Kong, do you have any news on your phone, do you want to bring it over?" said a lab assistant in a white sterile suit.

Kong Daochun, who was sitting in front of the computer monitor, took off his reading glasses, he nodded and said, "Xiao Zhou, help me bring it over, I'll see what's going on." ”

You can't use your phone in the real lab, but he's in the data analysis room right now, so it doesn't matter.

Xiao Zhou handed over Kong Daochun's mobile phone, and he himself recorded some of the results of the morning on another computer on the side, but unexpectedly heard Kong Daochun's self-talk: "Lin Han, this kid is quite efficient, he wrote the novel so quickly, I have to take a look." ”

"Professor Kong, do you know Mr. Lin, the same Lin Han who writes science fiction?"

Usually, Kong Daochun doesn't have any scores in the laboratory, as the big boss of the laboratory, he is very approachable, and he is knowledgeable, so these young researchers are not very afraid of him.

Kong Daochun held his mobile phone, he glanced at Xiao Zhou and said: "Yes, he came to me last week to ask some questions, saying that it was about the new book, and the idea of his new book is still very good, I don't know how to write it!"

Xiao Zhou immediately threw away the computer mouse, and he made a gesture of please with both hands, "Professor, what is the name of his new book, can you reveal it?"

"No, you can't. Kong Daochun first made a straight face, and then his wrinkled face suddenly laughed again, like an old naughty boy, "Teasing you, his new book is called "Immortality", and the rest of the things can't tell you." ”

"Immortality?"

Xiao Zhou muttered to himself, his mind began to run rapidly, could it be that he wanted to use scientific means to achieve a great leap in human life?

Kong Daochun didn't care what this person was thinking, he put his hands behind his back and walked quickly towards his office, he had to read the script carefully, only then could he decide whether to act in a movie or not.

As everyone knows, Lin Han has already fooled the rest of the suitable experts into his crew under his banner!

After turning on the computer, Kong Daochun logged in to his mailbox and downloaded the novel and script sent by Lin Han to the desktop, "The script is too high-end, I'd better read the novel." ”

The word document of more than 20,000 words slowly unfolded, and several large characters of "Immortality" appeared in the center of the screen, and then went directly to the main topic.

The whole novel is almost all dialogue, Kong Daochun saw the story of an "ordinary" man, Wang Yong, who has the ability to live forever, claims to have lived for more than 10,000 years, he is well-versed in history, archaeology, sociology, paleontology, genetics, religion, art, geology and humanities, and has intersected with many historical celebrities!

This seemingly absurd everything seems to be seamless and undeniable, at least from Kong Daochun's personal point of view, he doesn't believe it's true, but he can't prove it's fake.

A simple scene, but the topic covers 14,000 years of heaven and earth, there is no too complicated thing, it is all-for-tat between lips and teeth.

"Science fiction can still be written like this, Lin Han's knowledge is really amazing!"

After Kong Daochun read it heartily, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and admire, this is indeed one of the best science fiction novels he has ever read.

"Tsk, the spatial pattern is not as huge as the science fiction novels of "The Three-Body Problem", but it is excavated in the depth of time and history. Shall I go over there?"

He has already seen that the name of the biologist in the novel is himself, and the dialogue between the protagonist Lin Han and the biologist is basically what he told Lin Han that day, it can be said that this character and him are a match made in heaven!

As a biologist, he was a little reserved and couldn't let go of it so much, but he knew that the novel was bound to be a hit, not to mention that he also saw the names of the rest of the professors, which seemed to be real names.

The faculty of Peking University is very large, and it is almost impossible for the professors of each college to recognize it, so Kong Daochun only has a little impression, since Lin Han can invite himself, why can't he invite others?

After pondering for a moment, he called Lin Han to find out about the specific matter.

"Hey, Xiaolin, I'm Kong Daochun, and I just read the novel you wrote. ”

Lin Han was originally standing next to his thermostatic fish tank and watching the slow movement of these tropical fish, and after hearing Kong Daochun's call, he walked to the balcony on the second floor, "Oh, how do you think the novel is written, can it still be in your eyes?"

Kong Daochun's laughter came, and he said: "The story is very exciting, but there is a big loophole, if I were a biologist, my first reaction would be to draw a tube of your blood to test the genes." ”

"It's like testing antiques, using carbon fourteen to test the age?" Lin Han couldn't help but smile and said, "Can a living person's genes really determine how old they are?"

"Theoretically, yes, because as we age, our DNA also ages. Aging is manifested by the reduction of DNA telomeres, but there is no technology to correlate the reduction of DNA telomeres with age. ”

Lin Han didn't care, this had actually been considered by him, and now there is just a so-called bone age test, and the age in biology can roughly judge a range, but the setting of the protagonist is perfect cell regeneration and perfect cell detoxification.

"Professor Kong, my script has been written, if there is no doubt, I will finalize it and start preparing for the filming of the film, are you sure to join?"

Kong Daochun hesitated, "How long will this movie be filmed, I definitely can't spend too much time on it." ”

Lin Han knew that this was already an agreement, and he hurriedly replied: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I have invited several other professors from Peking University to film with you." The film was shot very quickly, and you almost didn't have to deliberately memorize your lines, which was originally something in your mind, you just had to let the protagonist memorize his own lines. I invited Cannes actor Xu Jiayan to shoot with him this time, and after giving him some time to memorize his lines, we can shoot, at most for a week, or as little as three days!"

Even if Kong Daochun hadn't made a movie, he knew that this time was coming too quickly, "Will a week be enough?"

"Don't worry, we're shooting indoors, rain or shine, and you're all acting on your own, as long as you're not nervous, you'll be fine. ”

"It's not that I'm nervous, none of us have made speeches in front of hundreds or thousands of people, let alone in front of the camera!"

As Kong Daochun said, top experts and professors usually have a lot of meetings, reports, and speeches, and they are already familiar with the camera, and they will not feel panicked.

Lin Han didn't think of this yet, he patted the railing and said, "Great! I'll prepare the crew first, and then contact your secretary for a schedule?"

These people have different schedules, and it is very difficult to gather them together to shoot, not to mention that Lin Han's crew has not yet been assembled, only the director and actors, and the rest of the cameramen, lighting engineers, editors, and post-production soundtracks.

A low-cost sci-fi film with an investment of 100,000 yuan, of course, does not need so many behind-the-scenes personnel, such as Lin Han can serve as a director, assistant director, art director and scene recorder, and the rest of the photographers and lighting engineers must be few, which is an important factor related to the quality of shooting shots!

It's not a DV or a mobile phone, it's going to be shown on the big screen in a movie theater, so the camera is very important, and he has to find a good team to work with.
