The umbrella-shaped lights go on and off, like a mischievous child blinking, adding a bit of mystery to the circular revolving restaurant.

Lin Youlun held a translucent goblet in his hand, the wine inside was white and soft, and the reflective side of the glass reflected Thomas's rigorous and funny face.

Thomas convinces Marvel Comics to sell the film adaptation rights to Blade to Golden Harvest, and Lin is curious to see how he did it.

"They are very worried that the film will be changed beyond recognition when it comes to the hands of the Hong Kong film company, and as the copyright owner, this is the last thing they want to see." Thomas winked at Lin Youlun, "And I told them that the screenwriter of the movie "Tales of the Night" was in charge of adapting the comic, and they immediately agreed. ”

Lin Youlun smiled dumbly: "It turns out that I am already so famous in the United States?" ”

Thomas nodded seriously, "The film "Tales of the Night" is highly regarded by many cult fans, and Marvel even wants to adapt this film into a comic, so that the heroine in the movie can join the superhero camp. Knowing that Mr. Lin was in charge of adapting the comic, their only request was that they hoped that the vampires in the comics would not be turned into oriental vampire zombies. ”

"The vampire zombies in "Tales of the Night" are actually just a name difference from vampires, and the same is true in this movie, which is called vampire zombies in Asia, and can be directly turned into vampires in Europe and the United States." Thomas and Lin Youlun tacitly touched their glasses, which was a sign that they had reached a consensus on the issue.

Next, the two chatted about some topics of common interest, when talking about the development of Hong Kong films, Thomas said in a slightly regretful tone: "I am very surprised that Hong Kong films can continue to create box office spectacles in the limited domestic market, but I think the development of Hong Kong films is not sound, and what makes me most puzzled is that Hong Kong universities have first-class scientific research strength in Asia, but Hong Kong films, known as "Oriental Hollywood", have not formed a climate for shooting science fiction films. Thomas's words touched Lin Youlun deeply, Hong Kong movies do not have a real sense of science fiction, first of all, because of the restrictions on capital investment, taking Xu Ke's cameo "Interstellar Blunt Tire" as an example, originally the "New Wave" director Zhang Guoming was ambitious and wanted to shoot a Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", but under the interference of the Shaw Brothers' traditional production system, "Interstellar Blunt Tire" eventually became a low-cost boring farce following the trend of "Star Wars". Only part of the picture of George Lucas's film was intercepted and composited, and some imitation props were added, which was very simple and crude.

The second is the lack of cultural soil for science fiction films to take root, for example, Hong Kong's most famous science fiction writer Ni Yu, his works themselves are more fantasy than science fiction, lacking real scientific rationality. And Hong Kong movies themselves have a kind of "irrationality,... For example, the alien theme that is common in science fiction movies, Western filmmakers can justify themselves with rigorous and meticulous storytelling, while Hong Kong films about this kind of film are mostly nonsense. "Guan Gong vs. Aliens" released in 1976 made Guan Erye, who Hong Kong people worship the most, carry a green dragon glaive knife and kill the aliens one after another, which can be seen in its loose randomness.

Even in later generations, Hong Kong films did not give birth to a pure science fiction movie, which has to be said to be a sadness.

Speaking of science fiction movies, Lin Youlun remembered that a very classic science fiction movie should be released in the United States this year, and he asked Thomas about this movie, but he had a plan to negotiate with the producer and take the film to Hong Kong to see if it could have some inspiration for Hong Kong science fiction movies.

…,

"What a time machine, I've never heard of this movie, Lin Sheng, are you mistaken?" Thomas's reaction surprised Lin Youlun.

In Lin Youlun's memory, this movie should have been released a long time ago, but Thomas told him with certainty that this movie had not been released in the United States.

Lin Youlun was shocked by this matter, so he asked Thomas to help him go to the Writers Guild of America to investigate and see if there was a script similar to a time machine registered there.

Three days later, Lin Youlun received a fax.

Thomas's action was very fast, and a transatlantic phone call came to the United States and soon came back with the news that the Writers Guild did not have many archived records of scripts such as time machines, except for the scripts that had been made into movies, there were less than 10 scripts left, and there was no script that met Lin Youlun's requirements.

Lin Youlun stared at the fax in his hand with his eyes, and in addition to being shocked, he even came up with a bold idea: the movie in his memory does not exist, and he can write it out and make it into a Hong Kong movie.

Before Lin Youlun could make up his mind whether to write this script, Lei Juekun came to the door with a bald guy.

This bald guy is none other than Mecca, one of the founders of New Arts City.

Lin Youlun helped Shaw Brothers write "Kung Fu Football" and adapted "Blade Warrior" for Golden Harvest, and now only the movie promised to write for Princess Jin has not yet been settled, Lei Juekun didn't talk much nonsense when he met, and asked Lin Youlun for the script when he opened his mouth.

"At the beginning, Mr. Lin said that he would not favor one over the other, if the script was not better than that of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, I would not do it." Lei Juekun said and pulled Mejia over, "This time, the script will be handed over to Xinyicheng to shoot, I am only responsible for investing money, and Mr. Lin can discuss the script with Mecca." ”

After saying everything he said, Lei Juekun felt that it would not make much difference for him to stay, so he patted his ass and left, this hand-shaking shopkeeper was even more chic than Lin Youlun.

On the one hand, he admired Lin Youlun's talent, and on the other hand, he felt that if Lin Youlun did not appear, the development of the new art city should be better than now.

However, Mecca is a smart person, he will not see the situation clearly, Lin Youlun is now in charge of Jiayi Cinemas, if it is not for a new treasure, he has monopolized the Hong Kong cinema market, and the movies he wrote are better than the box office, if you want to ask Hong Kong filmmakers who they want to cooperate with the most, the first choice will be Lin Youlun.

In the process of chatting with Mecca, Lin Youlun felt that this "bald detective" was indeed very interesting to speak.

"There is a foreigner who said that each of our lives is like a candle, and there must be a little light that burns down is the most beautiful and brilliant, and everyone will have it. In the words of fortune telling, five years of good luck, ten years of great luck, people must be able to grasp a luck, and the money earned in one year is equal to the sum of the money earned in the previous life! I used to think that I was lucky, but after comparing myself with Mr. Lin, I realized that my luck was really insignificant. ”

Speaking of luck, Lin Youlun is indeed "extraordinary", so he accepted Mecca's words very calmly.

The two talked about some topics, and Mecca naturally asked about the script.

Originally, Lin Youlun hadn't made up his mind whether to write this script, Lei Juekun came to Mecca, and Xinyicheng was good at making drama-style movies, all kinds of coincidences were superimposed, and Lin Youlun had a decision in his heart.

"Is Mr. Mak interested in time machine-type science fiction movies?"

"Science fiction movies?" Mecca touched his bald head, not to mention that he had never been exposed to this type of movie, and few people in the entire Hong Kong film industry dared to say that they could make good science fiction movies.

But the more this happened, the more Mecca became interested in Lin's proposal, and as Lin told him the story, he began to think about how the film should be made.

"Jay is a high school student who is good at skateboarding and loves music, and he and Dr. Kang, who is passionate about scientific invention, are old friends. At the same time, he also has a beautiful and lovely girlfriend, Ah Zhen. But Jay's family situation is very bad. Mother Hongying is conservative and rigid, while father Xu Wen is cowardly and incompetent, and is often bullied by his boss Li Tian. ”

…,

As soon as Lin Youlun began to speak, Mecca interjected: "Mr. Lin, can this Dr. Kang be bald?" ”

Lin Youlun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Mecca was recommended by Mao Sui and was ready to play the role of Dr. Kang himself.

Mecca then said: "Jie Zai's father asked Shi Tian to play it, he has a wide range of plays, and it should be no problem to play this role." ”

"Then you can only wronged him, because this character really doesn't have many scenes in the plot." Lin Youlun explained the reason, and Mecca didn't ask, he knew that the story behind the road should answer his doubts.

Dr. Kang invented the time machine, but unfortunately encountered a gangster attack, and Jie Tsai escaped from 1985 to 1955 in a time machine, and he met his father Xu Wen 30 years ago and Li Tian, who had been bullying Xu Wen. Jie Zai mistakenly replaced his father Xu Wen and was hit by Hongying's father's car, so he met his mother Hongying in Girlhood and was pursued by her. Becoming good friends with his father and being pursued by his mother, such a plot made the always bold Mecca can't help but smack his tongue, but then Lin Youlun gave a reasonable arrangement and explanation: Jie Zai found Dr. Kang 30 years ago, and the two came up with the idea of using lightning energy to return to the "future"

method. And according to the theory of time and space, if he doesn't want to disappear, he has to get the "history" he disrupted back on track, that is, he has to find a way to make his parents know and fall in love.

Jie Zai tried every means to get Xu Wen and Hongying close, but Li Tian always came out to stir up the situation. And Jie Zai and Li Tian fought again and again, which made Hongying even more infatuated with him. Jie Zai had to design Xu Wen to play the role of a hero to save the beauty, but Li Tian's second disturbance changed the situation. Xu Wen faced the scene of Li Tian bullying Hongying, and finally mustered up the courage to go against Li Tian, knocked down Li Tian with one punch, and won Hongying's heart.
