No matter how well science fiction is written, it may not necessarily have as many readers as the movie, such as "The Martian", which grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office around the world and had at least tens of millions of viewers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not to mention the people who buy DVDs on video websites or later, science fiction movies are not niche, and they can even be said to be the largest genre in the global box office market, and their influence is extraordinary!

After Lin Han tried the taste of making movies, he can never forget that feeling, making movies and writing novels are not in conflict, they can be completely complementary.

After all, it takes a long, long time for a movie to be officially released from project approval, and Lin Han can write novels to pass the time, and use the linkage between novels and movies to expand his influence!

The two films he has released are the best proof of this, and without the popularity of the original novel, the popularity of "The Martian" in the global market would have been greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the popularity of the movie, the "The Martian" novel would not have been a repeated bestseller, which all complemented each other!

For the rest of the directors, writing a novel can be a distraction for them.

But Lin Han is different, he is actually more like a porter of words, because the vast number of novels are in his head, and he doesn't need to think too much, and he doesn't need to revise too much, which is why he never calls himself a writer!

He still has a certain sense of shame, after all, these works are not his original, although others think that Lin Han is humble, but he knows that he is just modifying and recreating these novels.

Writing novels for a long time is also a bit boring, and a lifetime is still so long, Lin Han doesn't want to be imprisoned in words!

From the drastic adaptation of "This Man is from Earth" to "Immortality", only the creativity of the original movie on Earth remained, which is Lin Han's most satisfying work, because most of it is his own efforts.

Recently, his hands have become more and more itchy, and he has carried so many classic science fiction novels, but there are still so many science fiction movies that have been shelved, which is a serious waste of resources!

Any sci-fi fan has probably fantasized about this kind of thing, giving birth to a classic sci-fi movie in the palm of his hand, or how he would shoot this story if he was a director.

After Lin Han finished "Plane Country", he didn't have any work on his hands, and this book can also quiet fans for a while, so all he has to do is communicate this idea to his company's managers!

……

A rain brought the originally warm weather back to winter, obviously Lin Han saw spring flowers blooming when he walked his dog a few days ago, but now he has to wear a down jacket.

In the office building, the employees of Galaxy Group were busy working, and Lin Han led Chai Chai in through the door, ready to walk to his office.

"Boss?"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin. ”

"Wow, this is Chaichai, it looks so cute!"

"Hey boss is here, don't talk. ”

"The boss came to the company to inspect the work!"

The employees were not too restrained, their eyes were full of incredulity, generally if there was nothing to do, Lin Han would never appear in the company, let alone bring a dog over.

Although he didn't come here often, his excellent memory allowed Lin Han to accurately call out the names of each employee, and he greeted him with a smile all the way.

It's just that Chai Chai next to him seems to have seen a new world, walking around and stopping, he has never seen so many people before, if it weren't for Lin Han dragging his neck, he probably wanted to rummage through the trash cans under the employees' desks!

Chen Jiaxuan walked out of her office after hearing the voice, and she said angrily: "Why did you bring firewood here?"

"There is no one at home, so I don't feel comfortable leaving it alone at home. Lin Han said helplessly, "When I went to the garage to prepare to drive, it bit my trouser leg all the way and didn't let go, so I had to bring it over." You see it's very popular and we don't need to worry about it!"

The employees of the company all know that Lin Han has a Shiba Inu at home, after all, Chen Jiaxuan always posts photos of Chai and Chai when he has nothing to do. At this time, some employees quietly took out their ham sausages and began to feed them.

Chai Chai also does not recognize life, as long as there is food, it does not matter whether it is a stranger or not, and it does not have the high sense of vigilance of a police dog.

Chen Jiaxuan shook his head, his stupid dog is too easy to trust others, and it is definitely unreliable to expect it to take care of the house.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what you're doing today?"

Lin Han pointed to the office, he took Chen Jiaxuan's hand, and said as he walked: "I suddenly remembered, I want to discuss the follow-up with you." ”

Chen Jiaxuan let his hand hold him, and said with emotion: "You, you just can't be idle for a moment." Now that the novel is over, you're thinking about working!"

After coming to the office, Lin Han asked Chen Jiaxuan to sit on the sofa, and he kissed her on the cheek, "I'm used to being busy, and I really feel a little dazed when I stop by chance." ”

"Then you came just in time, there are a bunch of things to report to you now, don't you have to work. Chen Jiaxuan stood up, she pointed at Lin Han and said, "I'll go over and get the documents first, don't run." ”

Lin Han shrugged his shoulders, "No problem, you go and come back quickly, I have to communicate with Miao Hong later." ”

After seeing Chen Jiaxuan walk out in high heels, Lin Han turned around and walked to the window, the foggy sky outside looked extremely depressing!

At the beginning of March, Yanjing City was still rampant with haze, and I don't know when it will subside.

"Woo Woo ......"

Lin Han only heard this sound and knew that Chai Chai was running over, accompanied by the sound of "dong dong dong" high heels stepping on the ground, he turned his head to see that it was really Chen Jiaxuan in front, and Chai Chai was following behind!

Chen Jiaxuan sat at her desk, she opened her thick stack of folders, "How do I feel like I've become your secretary." ”

"Who can afford to hire a secretary like you?" When Lin Han saw this folder, his head hurt a little, and he knew that he shouldn't have said big things.

"There's a lot of stuff, I'll say one by one. First of all, Leonardo sent you an email that "Bouquet for Algernon" is ready to start filming, and he wants you to go to Hollywood to see if there are any problems with the script and the characters or the location. He plans to hit the awards season at the end of the year, so he likes it in all aspects!"

"Bouquet for Algernon" has been handed over to Leonardo for a long time, and he has been preparing until now to start filming, and the preparatory work can be said to be quite rich, and even Lin Han heard that Leonardo went to the hospital for mentally handicapped children some time ago to experience life, and ate and lived with those people for half a month, just to catch Charlie's state in the story.

Leonardo has a rich acting career, he has played the mentally retarded in "A Different Sky", and also played a high-IQ criminal in "Get Away", both of which have won him a series of acting award nominations!

But now "Bouquet for Algernon" requires him to forget all the acting skills in these two movies, and there is no such passionate explosive acting skills, which must be interpreted in a subtle and silent way, so that it can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Lin Han frowned, "I guess I don't have time to go to the United States, and I don't want to go for the time being, so help me decline." However, judging from the script, this movie still has a lot of highlights, and as for the selection of scenes or something, you can communicate through the Internet. ”

Chen Jiaxuan knew that this would be the case, and she was not surprised, "The next thing is your buddy Li Wenyuan's matter, we have signed a brokerage contract." At the same time, I also negotiated with Chang'e Pictures that his two novels will be adapted into films, and our company will participate in the film investment, which is expected to account for 20-% 30%. ”

"This is very good, at least the return on investment of Chang'e Pictures is okay, and it will not lose money. ”

As the cost of film production and distribution becomes higher and higher, the risk of loss is increasing, and most of the investors are composed of multiple companies, on the one hand, they can integrate resources, and on the other hand, they can also share risks!

"How big is the investment in "Out of the Galaxy"? If it is too much, I will make a movie soon, can I come up with so much money at that time?" is the question that Lin Han is concerned about.

Chen Jiaxuan estimated and said: "I haven't said it yet, but I estimate that the total investment should be hundreds of millions, otherwise the special effects and visuals can't be guaranteed at all." In other words, we have to prepare at least 30 million yuan for that project. ”

Lin Han opened his mouth and said: "Can our company come up with so much money now? Our film makes so much money, we have to make my new movie cost, I don't want to make another 100,000 yuan movie." ”

"There isn't much money on the company's books right now, but your box office dividends on "The Martian" have been settled, and your 5% overseas box office share and 2% Chinese box office share are very powerful!"

At the beginning, Chang'e Pictures was not optimistic about the global box office of "The Martian" at all, so Lin Han's share ratio came to 5%. What they value is the domestic box office, so Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan have been fighting for a long time and only 2%, so there is such a strange number.

The domestic box office of "The Martian" is as high as 1.64 billion yuan, and the overseas box office is 480 million US dollars, and the total global box office of this film is 720 million US dollars!

With a 2% domestic box office share, Lin Han can get 32 million yuan, and a 5% overseas box office dividend allows him to have 24 million US dollars.

It's just that these are all pre-tax, and you have to pay business tax, value-added tax, corporate income tax, stamp duty, and so on!

"After this batch of dividends arrives, the domestic box office dividends can be used to invest in "Out of the Solar System", and the overseas box office dividends and the box office dividends of "Immortality" will be used to make movies for me. ”

Lin Han calculated very beautifully, he didn't want to be shabby, but wanted to make a good movie, a science fiction movie that surprised everyone!
