Chapter 371: Extreme Brain Burning
Before he started writing, Lin Han's mind was already blowing a brainstorm, if this novel could be written as he expected, it would definitely shock the world, this is not a joke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
To transform this very clever movie "Inception", what is needed is a richer plot, after all, the content of the two-hour movie is not much, and the novel needs to be filled with more details, using an intricate narrative to bring readers into the labyrinth of the subconscious!
is about to build a surreal thriller world with his own hands, Lin Han began to set up in another document at this time, this dream world has a whimsical version of the setting, and it is precisely because of the constraints of these settings that the overall plot will not become loose.
First of all, the novel will also use the same setting of six worlds as in the movie, with the real world, the first, second, third, fourth, and finally the lost realm in order of dreaming.
Secondly, according to Freud's interpretation of dreams, the essence of dreams is the tortuous expression of subconscious desires, the disguised and symbolic satisfaction of suppressed subconscious desires and desires. Therefore, dreams have two parts: "manifest dreams" and "hidden dreams".
Manifest dreams refer to the dreams that people really experience, and in the novel it is the first layer of dreams, and when everyone dreams at night, it is manifest dreams.
Hidden dreams refer to the true meaning of dreams, the repressed subconscious desires symbolically expressed by dreams, the so-called analysis of a dream, is to decipher hidden dreams from the manifest dreams, and the second, third and fourth layers of dreams are classified as hidden dreams. However, in order to enter the hidden dream, you must take medication, and different levels of dreams require different doses of drugs, and the side effects and waking methods are also different.
And then the time flow rate of each layer of dreams is actually different, which is a bit similar to some fantasy novels, Lin Han stopped recording these set actions, he touched his chin and recalled seriously, it is written in the script and the movie, the real world is a ten-hour flight, the first layer of dreams is about a week, the second layer of dreams is about six months, and the third layer of dreams is ten years, the exciting point of the movie is that there is not enough time, maybe the protagonist will be trapped in the dream for a whole ten years!
Lin Han made up his mind, and the Chinese name was finalized as "Inception", and the English name was still the original one, which was also a tribute and a relevant topic.
Inception is a term for a dreamer in the film, which refers to implanting an idea into the dream of the target person, making him feel that the idea is his own, and that this can only be done in at least the third dream.
In fact, if this novel is written, it will be like a rigorous treatise, the first part is to describe the problem, briefly review the life of the protagonist Cobb, and explain the ins and outs of the matter, the second part is to put forward the basic principles and basis, that is, the protagonist Cobb teaches a new dreamer in Paris, and the last part is to demonstrate and deduce the results, and the protagonist team dives into the dream of the target character to transform his subconscious.
For two days, Lin Han almost stayed at home, lunch and dinner were called room service, and he devoted himself to the preparation of "Inception", which exhausted his efforts!
……
When the sound of the mobile phone memo rang, Lin Han realized that it had been so long in a blink of an eye, and now it was time to make an appointment with Leonardo, and he was going to sign the film adaptation of "Bouquet for Algernon".
Lin Han hurriedly walked to the bathroom with a razor, he shaved off the beards that had emerged in the past few days, then took care of his hair, changed into a suit before walking out of the door.
In the few days when he was busy setting up, Chen Jiaxuan launched fierce negotiations with Leonardo's film production company, and the final result was an adaptation copyright fee of 2 million US dollars and a global box office dividend of 3%!
This popular novel has a good readership, and with Leonardo's golden signboard, it will at least not lose money in the world's film market, so Lin Han will not lose money.
Leonardo, who was full of spring breeze, took the initiative to greet Lin Han after seeing him, and he said: "Dear Lin, we have already drawn up the content of the contract, can you see if there are any problems?"
"Leo, are you dreaming?" Lin Han suddenly said from his mouth.
"What?" Leonardo frowned, these were two questions that were completely unrelated, but he replied anyway, "Of course I dream, but I often forget it, and I remember it a little time." ”
Lin Han was immersed in the theory of "Inception", and he seemed a little absent-minded, "Oh, have you ever wondered why these dreams appear? ”
"Never, why do you think so? Could it be that the beautiful woman and the little golden man in my dream are the ideas that others have instilled in me. Leonardo couldn't understand the idea of the writer in front of him, he couldn't wait to say: "Let's get back to business, your lawyer has reviewed the contract, if you don't have a problem, how about signing it now?"
Lin Han shook his head and threw out those strange ideas, and then picked up the pen and signed his name in a chic manner, he was so happy that he was a mess.
After Leonardo accepted his contract, he stretched out his hand and said to Lin Han: "Happy cooperation, this is a very good novel I have seen." Now that I've asked Ron Howard to adapt and direct this film, I expect to come up with results soon. ”
Lin Han didn't know much about directors in Hollywood, so he didn't know what kind of director Ron Howard was, so he just nodded and said, "Sounds good, has he had any previous works?"
"A Beautiful Mind", which swept the Oscars, also has "Foster Talks to Nixon", "The Da Vinci Code", "Apollo 13", etc., very powerful directors. ”
I'm not familiar with the director, but I still know a little about the director's work, and the lineup of Ron Howard and Leonardo is very good, and it's worth looking forward to!
But Lin Han was not thinking about this at all, and he decided to ask Leonardo for help, "Do you know the best psychologist in the industry? I have some questions I want to ask them, I need some advice." ”
"Where do you think we are? This is Davos, where the world's elite gathers, and I bet there must be psychologists here, just to see if they talk to you. By the way, you also touched on a lot of psychological stuff in "Bouquet for Algernon", and you studied that?"
"No, thank you for your suggestion, I'll go to the organizers of the conference and ask. Lin Han couldn't wait to take the contract and rushed out of the small conference room, leaving Leonardo and the lawyers of both parties inside.
Leonardo looked at the slowly closing door and muttered to himself, "Psychology is such a god, you should indeed find an expert in this field." ”
Lin Han naturally couldn't hear Leonardo's words, he hurriedly found the staff of the World Economic Forum in Davos, and asked very politely: "Madam, I'm sorry to disturb, may I ask if our forum has invited psychologists?"
"I remember several, and you see Mister Rogers over there, the one who was a little bald in a black suit. ”
Following her gaze, Lin Han found Rogers Maslow, who was holding a document and reading it non-stop, Lin Han thanked the staff and took a deep breath and walked over.
"Hello, Mr. Rogers, can I disturb you for a few minutes?"
Removing the reading glasses from the bridge of his nose, Rogers Maslow looked at the young man and the sign on his chest, "Okay, what do you want to do?"
Lin Han organized his language and said: "Actually, I am a science fiction writer, and I am now conceiving a novel about human dreams, but I have some problems with the theory of dreams, so I want to ask you." ”
Rogers-Marlos was immediately interested, science fiction about dreams was still a bit interesting, at least he hadn't encountered it in years, so he pointed to the sofa next to him: "Young man, let's sit down and say, you have an hour." ”
"Sigmund Freud once said that dreams are the best way to the unconscious, and dreams can fulfill people's desires. Dreams are the fulfillment of wishes, but what if the dreams are not happy and beautiful, such as death, falling off a cliff or watering a sapling, etc., are these also wishes fulfilled?"
"There has been controversy about this theory of dream interpretation before, and now there is a simple consensus. Here we need to condense and transpose the paralyzing dream, and we have done a lot of rewriting and translating the wish, transforming the hidden dream into the manifest dream, so that some negative dreams can also satisfy some of people's wishes!"
"I have some so-called subconscious and defensive, guilt and dream-making things in my novels, and do they have enough theoretical research or basis in the field of psychology or psychoanalysis to support these ideas?"
"According to psychoanalytic theory, human mental activity is divided into three parts, namely, conscious, preconscious, and subconscious. Dreams are a special manifestation of the subconscious, a dialogue with the subconscious. As for the artificial creation of dreams, this is somewhat similar to our most cutting-edge research, you can go to the "Psychoanalytic Theoretical Biology Basis Theory", which has the modern neuropsychological research structure of dreams, it can be said that the specific content of dreams is related to the recent activities of the dreamer, and people can design artificial dreams. ”
Lin Han listened attentively, there were not many opportunities to communicate with the master in this way, he had to seize every minute and every second.
"I remember my students doing an experiment where they put on special video glasses and watched a scene over and over again before going to bed, knowing that the sleep machine showed that the volunteer had fallen asleep. Wait until a certain amount of time to wake them up, at which point volunteers often report having dreams about things they saw before going to bed. However, today's technology can't make people make artificial dreams that are too complicated, and it's even more impossible to steal other people's dreams like you said, but since it's science fiction, there's no problem in the slightest. ”
In science fiction, imagination is wings without hindrance! )
