Yang Lin was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect the copyright battle of "The Three-Body Problem" to come to an end so quickly.

You must know that in the past two months, the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" have been in an uproar in the outside world.

This novel has already attracted a lot of attention and is considered to be the first science fiction novel in China to reach the world's top level, and its influence is huge.

Science fiction movies have always been considered Hollywood's own place, and "The Three-Body Problem" is considered by many people to surpass Hollywood's past science fiction blockbusters in terms of both the plot of the novel and the world view.

However, the outside world generally believes that Zhang Fanfan, the director who has the right to adapt the film and television of "The Three-Body Problem", and the previous partner Youying Entertainment are not considered to have the ability to operate this project, coupled with the adaptation of popular novels from regular followers into movies, the resistance of the original party has always existed, and even the adaptation of "Harry Potter" into a big movie has been complained, and it is conceivable that the movie version of "The Three-Body Problem" is not favored by fans.

On the other hand, in the past few decades, Hollywood has almost dominated the world of cinema with its huge dominance in the field of science fiction films.

Almost half of the highest-grossing films in film history are contributed by science fiction films.

The field of Chinese film science fiction has always been very weak, the film industry system has a very big gap with Hollywood, even if the film market in Chinese mainland has grown at an astonishing rate in recent years, the film genre has also increased, all kinds of new and old films have been constantly tried and tried, and big productions have returned to the script-based shooting method, but science fiction blockbusters are still an area that Chinese filmmakers dare not set foot in.

This is not only due to the backwardness of special effects and shooting technology, but also related to the imperfection of the film industry.

Especially epic works such as "The Three-Body Problem", they want to film and television their words. The requirements for the main creative team are very high.

Therefore, it is widely believed by the outside world. Only those large companies with strong funds have the strength to operate the film project of "The Three-Body Problem".

And when Alibaba Pictures, Wanda Pictures, and Matrix Pictures joined the battle for copyright. The outside world has a hint of expectation for the movie version of "The Three-Body Problem".

In particular, Matrix Pictures, with its strong financial strength and the success of the "Return of the Great Sage" project, has established a lot of popularity around the world.

Perhaps because of this, when Gao Junru joined the copyright battle for "The Three-Body Problem" on behalf of Matrix Pictures, Zhang Fanfan showed a great impression of Matrix Pictures.

After nearly a month of negotiations, the conditions offered by Matrix Pictures were generally better than those of other companies, which also allowed Matrix Pictures to gain a leading position in the copyright battle.

Gao Junru was extraordinary, and soon reached an agreement with Zhang Fanfan on the amount of copyright transactions and the scale of film investment.

But there is only one thing that Zhang Fanfan will not give in, and that is that he must become the director of this movie.

Gao Junru thought about it again and again. still agreed to Zhang Fanfan's condition of directing the movie.

However, she also put forward corresponding requirements, that is, the film script must be written by the author of the novel Liu Cixin himself, and Liu Cixin will also be fully involved in the production of the film.

After the two sides reached an agreement in various aspects, Matrix Pictures finally got the copyright of the film version of "The Three-Body Problem".

In fact, the reason why Gao Junru invited Liu Cixin, the author of the novel, to join the operation of this movie, and even gave a franchise fee of 10 million for this, which is actually what Yang Lin meant.

As a science fiction fan, Yang Lin is no stranger to Liu Cixin and his "Three-Body Problem".

You must know that when "The Three-Body Problem" was published, no one cared about film and television copyrights at all. Only Zhang Fanfan contacted Liu Cixin, and Liu Cixin finally transferred the film adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" to Zhang Fanfan at a very low cost.

Therefore, Yang Lin's invitation to Liu Cixin to join the shooting team of the "Three-Body Problem" movie this time did not mean to compensate for this top Chinese science fiction master.

And for this film. Yang Lin also attaches great importance to it.

The background of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy is ambitious, and the time span of the novel is from the 60s of the last century to the future hundreds of years later, with the grievances and hatreds between human civilization and the three-body civilization of Proxima Centauri as the core. It tells a magnificent history of the universe.

After consultation between director Zhang Fanfan and the original author Liu Cixin, it was finally decided that the film version of "The Three-Body Problem" would be filmed into a five-part series. In addition to the first "Three-Body Problem", the second "Dark Forest" and the third "Death Eternal" will be filmed in two parts.

The filming of the five-part series will last for five years. The first film will be released in July 2016, and production will be completed at an average rate of one film a year.

In order to ensure the quality of the film, Matrix Pictures also increased the total investment of the five-part series to 600 million US dollars, with an average of 120 million US dollars each, which is not inferior to Hollywood's top works, and the actors have also invited first-line big names to join after being recognized by the director and the original author.

After the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the film and television industry.

You must know that even today, when the Chinese film market has developed rapidly, the general blockbuster standard in China is only about 50 million US dollars, and Matrix Pictures has suddenly raised the shooting standard of "The Three-Body Problem" to the top level of Hollywood, which makes many people a little incomprehensible.

"With a total investment of 600 million US dollars, Matrix Pictures creates a Chinese science fiction epic"

Crazy! The three-body film five-part film will be the highest-invested film in China's history》

"Yang Lin bets on Chinese science fiction, huge investment leads the domestic film industry"

"After the return of the Great Sage, can Matrix Pictures still create miracles? 》

"Our journey is a sea of stars - Yang Lin said in an interview that the Chinese film industry needs the power of change"

While the major media followed up, fans also talked about it.

"I'm going, the idol is really awesome, I hope the box office of "Three-Body Problem" can be worthy of its investment!"

""The Three-Body Problem" is too exaggerated, a movie will invest 120 million US dollars, which means that the box office will reach at least one billion yuan or more so that it will not lose money, is this the rhythm of Matrix Pictures going crazy?"

"Haha, it's really rich and capricious, no matter what, as a three-body fan, applaud the performance of Matrix Pictures, I hope that while the box office is a big hit, the movie itself will not disappoint us novel fans!"

"Support Yang Lin, support Da Liu, support "Three-Body Problem"!"

"It's over, another classic is going to be destroyed, can't you find a more reliable director?"

"Cut, there is Yang Lin here, what are you worried about. If you want to talk about science fiction, Matrix Digital's performance in the past two years is much more science fiction than fiction, and I am optimistic that Matrix Pictures will take over "The Three-Body Problem"! (To be continued.) )
