"Mr. Williams, what does 'Brett' mean?" As soon as Eric finished speaking, Elizabeth, who was sitting at the end of the desk, raised her little hand and asked, her eyes flashing with a faint look of urgency.

Eric glared at the girl, "Liz, tell me first, what do you mean by Coruscant in Star Wars or Cybertron in Transformers?" ”

"How do I know!" Elizabeth rolled her eyes as a matter of course.

"Then shut up," Eric didn't intend to give face to this young lady at all, and it was okay to make a few casual jokes in private, but doing so at work had already touched Eric's bottom line: "If you interrupt again, I'll have someone blast you out." ”

Elizabeth wanted to retort 'you dare', but seeing Eric's already sunken face, the girl finally didn't say anything, just lowered her head and stuck out her tongue gently.

Eric coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the group of writers who were curiously looking between him and Elizabeth, "Alright, let's move on. ”

"In the vast universe, a planet named Brett gave birth to intelligent Brett people, after hundreds of millions of years of scientific and technological accumulation, Brett people have mastered the technology of space travel, which makes Brett people a very powerful force in the universe. However, as time went on, not only did the planet they live on be on the verge of destruction, but the Bretts themselves were on the verge of extinction due to a long period of natural evolution......"

Eric said this, but saw Elizabeth, who was sitting at the end, raise her little hand again, but this time the girl was clever and did not speak directly. Instead, he stared at Eric with a pair of large, curious eyes.

The narrative is interrupted again. Eric pondered for a moment. Only then did he squeeze out a word between his teeth: "Say!" ”

At the same time, he swore in his heart that if the girl made trouble again this time, he would be driven out.

"Mr. Williams, according to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, isn't life more and more advanced as it evolves, why do you say that the Brett people will be almost extinct with the evolution of nature?"

Eric sorted out the information in his mind and replied, "Darwin's Theory of Evolution covers only the shortest period of the evolution of life. And I'm talking about the development of species at the genetic level. Birth, development. Prosperity and recession, this is an irresistible law of the universe, so large that galaxies, as small as atoms, it is impossible to get rid of this law. If you read a lot of books, you will find that the genes of a species do not evolve for the better, and at a certain point in the development process, the gene sequence will begin to decline and disintegrate. Now there is a saying in the scientific community that the Y chromosome of humans has begun to degenerate. Maybe in a few million years, only women will be left on the earth. Well. If there were still humans on Earth by then. ”

Amid the chuckles of the others, Eric solemnly warned, "Alright, Liz, this is the last time, and whatever doubts you have, you can either endure it or get out." ”

After the girl nodded unwillingly, Eric said: "Okay, then what I said just now, in the case of near extinction, the Brett people have formulated a very grand and huge alien colonization plan in time and space for the continuation of the species, and they have used the technology they have mastered to create a very advanced spaceship, and at the same time, they have compressed their vitality into a black liquid with independent consciousness. ”

Eric quickly wrote a key word on the blackboard: "This black liquid that carries the life force of the Brett people is called." Black oil', the spaceship carried the remnants of the Brett Star and the black oil began to fly in the boundless universe, when they encountered a planet suitable for the appearance of life, they stopped, using the genetic blueprint of the Brett Star in the black oil, began to guide the emergence of life on this planet and the development and evolution, until the appearance of the right species, the black oil began to start, through the guò infection way to invade the body of this species, after a series of genetic modification, the original species disappeared, that is, the complete form of the Brett Star appeared. In this way, the Bretts complete the continuation of their species in the universe. ”

As Eric explains, there are more and more keywords on the clipboard, a tree diagram is gradually established, and the screenwriter in the office is immersed in the novel and ambitious sci-fi background conceived by Eric, and even the not-so-peaceful Elizabeth listens to it with relish.

“…… Then, the time came to 3.7 billion years ago, the alien spacecraft of the Brett people finally arrived on the earth, and they began to guide the evolution and evolution of species on the earth again and again, in order to make new species suitable for colonization, the Brett people did not hesitate to destroy the original species again and again, 440 million years ago, 85% of the species became extinct, 195 million years ago, 76% of the marine life disappeared, 65 million years ago, the end of the dinosaur era...... These are just the mass extinction events that we can be aware of within the scope of human scientific cognition. With the recent extinction of the dinosaurs, mammals began to flourish, and after a long wait of 3.7 billion years, the Bretts finally discovered a species suitable for colonization of black oil - humans! ”

"But the original human beings did not have the advantage of survival in nature, in order to ensure that human beings can reproduce as much as possible, the Brett began to catalyze the process of human civilization, so that human beings learned to use tools, learned language communication, learned a variety of skills, and even the generation of various religions, all of which were guided by the Brett people. The final time set by the Brett people to colonize the Black Oil is December 21, 2012, on this day, the hidden Black Oil will launch an invasion and destroy the human race, replacing it with the form of the Brett Man on Earth, the Little Gray Man. ”

Eric attached a typical alien photo to a clipboard with a magnet: "In World War II, because of the rise of air supremacy, humanity finally realized that we are not alone in this universe. In 1945, at the end of World War II, the U.S. military shot down a spaceship over the Pacific Ocean near Japan, and in the process of secret salvage, black oil was discovered. Then came the famous Roswell crash in 1947, in which the federal government not only recovered the alien spaceship, but also obtained the alien body. Through a series of studies on the number of alien spacecraft, the possibility of alien colonization was also discovered. In order to stop the colonization of the Brets, the government secretly formed an organization in an attempt to develop a way to counter the colonization of the Brets. But in the process of research, the scientists in this organization are desperate to find that the colonization of black oil is irresistible. So, in order to ensure that after December 21, 2012, he and his family could survive, most of the people in the secret organization defected to the humans and took refuge with the aliens, forcing the aliens to agree to their terms by destroying the miè. And after colonization, they will continue to survive as extraterrestrial and human hybrids. This organization is known as the 'Syndicate'. ”

Writing the word 'syndicate' to the end of the tree, Eric turned: "Okay, next, the story about our side of the sci-fi drama officially begins, and our protagonist, Fox. Muller's father, William. Mueller, who was originally a member of the Syndicate, broke away from the Syndicate because he was adamantly opposed to defecting to aliens. However, the aliens kidnapped William. Muller's youngest daughter, Samantha. Muller. Fox as a child. Müller happened to see this scene, and when he grew up, he was deeply hypnotized, and he recalled the situation. So, Fox. Müller became curious about the paranormal and never gave up on finding his sister. After graduating from the University of Oxford with a degree in psychology, Fox. Mueller joined the FBI and then moved to a group specializing in the paranormal: the X-Files. However, he was the only one in the group for a while, until a few years later, when his partner, Dana. Scarly appeared, and they began their own adventure. ”

After Eric finished telling the background of the story, one of the screenwriters who sat down and listened asked, "Mr. Williams, are you asking us to write a hero and heroine Fox. Muller and Dana. In her search for Mueller's sister, does Scarly discover the betrayal of the Syndicate, and the story of the colonial conspiracy to destroy the Bretts and then save all of humanity? ”

It turns out that American screenwriters in this era have begun to show signs of saving all mankind, Eric sneered slightly and asked, "Your name is Peter. Cricks: Right? ”

The white man in his thirties, who had just spoken, nodded, "Yes, Mr. Williams, I used to be involved in the writing of Star Trek. ”

Eric didn't look down on the other party because he had participated in the famous Star Trek series, although they are both science fiction dramas, but "Star Trek" and "The X-Files" are completely unrelated styles: "Peter, if it's just what you just said, then I can finish the script alone, and you don't have to sit here." ”

Peter. When Crick heard Eric say this, he smiled awkwardly and did not refute it, with Eric's fame, he did have the confidence and qualifications to say such things.

"Since the name of this TV series is "The X-Files", the story must revolve around the protagonist's investigation of a series of paranormal phenomena, and the style is mainly horror and suspense. So my plan was for twenty-four supernatural events to occur in the 24 episodes of the first season. ”

Peter. Cricks asked again: "If that's the case, wouldn't this sci-fi drama become a sci-fi detective drama, then what about the background you just told about the Brett Star." ”

"That's why I've invited you here, what you have to do is to link these isolated supernatural phenomena with the colonization of the Bretts and the syndicate conspiracy to form a complete story that seems to be scattered but is actually inextricably linked."

After Eric finished speaking, he turned around and wrote another word on the clipboard, and continued: "Based on this clue, I came up with a subtitle for the first stage of this TV series: Puzzles. This phase may last for about three seasons, and through the adventure of three seasons of guò, the protagonist will collect a series of clues to integrate them, sketch out the background of the story I just talked about, and then start the next phase of the story. (To be continued......)
