Chapter 751: Conquering Americans with Movies (Part I)

In his previous life, Lin Yu didn't read Clayton's books and movies, Michael? One of the overarching themes of Clayton's work is that scientific achievements are sometimes irresponsible. The astonishing, incredible, yet extremely dangerous results achieved by scientists and technologists are often not questioned. These gains have given us human power, but they have brought problems. So science often plays a role in Clayton's work, and even if it is a scientific achievement that is done step by step, he can cite the worst examples of application.

Michael? Clayton's novels have a few things in common: First, he is particularly adept at conceiving a novel with a controversial theory and technique, and portraying characters around that theory. Secondly, the plot of his novel is mysterious, suspenseful, overlapping, and exciting. The third is the imagination that runs rampant.

In his pseudonym Pushing the Death Operating Room, Clayton plays a pathologist from Bōston, who intervenes in the investigation of a medical negligence case arising from Tsubaki's abortion death in order to save his friend's reputation. The book was published in 1968, long before the 1973 Roe v. Wade case of the 1973 U.S. national debate over the legalization of abortion. He spends 160 pages tracking down the main suspect in the secret abortion, and this corner sè appears to express the author's personal opinion, and then Clayton uses 3 pages to get this corner sè to defend his illegal actions.

Some of Clayton's novels also use the literary technique of forgery. For example, "The Ultimate Soldier" is a joking version of the ancient English epic poem "Beowulf", in which he reinterprets Ahmad in an academic manner. Manuscript of Ibn Fad-C. 10th century.

In other novels, such as Extraterrestrial Germs and Jurassic Park, there are also many scientific documents in the form of diagrams, computer information, DNA sequences, annotations, and bibliographies, which are mixed with the novels.

Read Michael? Clayton's novels are filled with the eclectic inclusiveness of American culture. This tolerance is not only reflected in the marriage of his novels with science, with a large number of references to scientific knowledge about physics, medicine, genetics, and astronomy. Moreover, it mixes the advantages of various novels, and extracts the unique magical and bold imagination style of his novels, the sharp and thorough thinking line, the open and grand narrative technique and the concise and powerful language characteristics. He took the popular and popular route. However, it can jump out of the popular, precipitate some thinking about human beings, science, the future and other issues in the field of high-tech imagination, and when touching on realistic themes, it can shake some seemingly unshakable systems and norms in American society through the appearance of characters and events, and has a serious realistic critical spirit. Clayton is one of the few writers in Cillin who can combine the thrilling, fiery and intellectual implications of popular fiction with the intellectual implications of high literature. In his works, Clayton presents us with a vivid picture of high technology, which covers a wide range of fields and describes them with precision. Breathtaking. These works have had a non-negligible impact on the culture of science and technology.

It's Clayton's style, so when Michael Clayton died of cancer, Clayton's official website said of him: "He lived his life with an anachronistic sense of humor that everyone lucky enough to know him will always remember him." ”

"He will be deeply missed by those who have been touched by him, but he has left behind the best gifts: the thirst for knowledge, the quest for understanding, and the wisdom to use our intellect to improve the world."

Clayton is widely recognized as one of the best storytellers in the world, as he works with. Hollywood director Spielberg, who created the box office myth of the American movie series with the "Jurassic Park" film series, said: "He has an amazing ability to combine science and theater concepts, and only he can bring dinosaurs back to life." Michael writes about his gorgeous and glorious side in the novel. No one can take his place. "Almost every one of Clayton's works has occupied the best-selling charts in Europe and the United States, and has been continuously brought to the big screen by Hollywood.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yu came to Clayton.

Lin Yu's words immediately made Michael Clayton look at him, and he didn't expect it. The point of view in his book would be understood so thoroughly by a young man from Donglin. This made him interested in Lin Yu. Lin Yu is not wrong at all, science often plays the role of a madman in Clayton's works, and even if it is a scientific achievement that is completed step by step, he can cite the worst application examples.

"Mr. Lin, well, I have to admit it. There is a huge gap between your insight and your age. It made me a little contemptuous of you at first. Michael Clayton admitted, "But I can guarantee it. I will listen carefully to every word you say next. ”

"Your work. It takes the route of popular and popular theory, but it can jump out of the limitations of popularity, and use the high-tech imagination field as the background to lead readers to think deeply about some issues related to human beings, science, and the future, and when those themes touch on social reality, they can shake some seemingly unshakable systems and norms in American society through the appearance of characters and events. So I think you have a serious realistic critical spirit. You can be said to be one of the few writers in Xilin who can fuse the popular thrill, the fiery and the ideological connotation of high literature. In your works, you show us a vivid picture of high technology, which covers a wide range of fields and describes it accurately, which really amazes me. And, I think, these works of yours will have a non-negligible impact on the future of the world's technological culture, and Michael Clayton was thrilled to hear it. I feel that every sentence of Lin Yu's evaluation of himself and his works has deeply touched his heart.

"Alright, alright, Lin, I have to say. You are truly a rare compliment in my life. Every word you say seems to scratch the forest where I am most proud, and I am overjoyed. But if these compliments continue, I'm afraid that my old face will be as red as that monkey's ass. ”

Lin Yu smiled and said, "This is not my compliment to you, but the fair evaluation you deserve." In case you don't know, I'm also an author, but my work is limited to scripts, and I've written very few plays, just a few. ”

Michael Clayton was amazed and incomprehensible. However, Lin Yu brought his own works, and soon made him realize that the young man in front of him was indeed his peer. And it's a peer with great achievements. "Lin, please forgive me for saying bluntly, since you are a writer yourself, why didn't you write it yourself?"

"As I said earlier, I'm a companion with you, but I have very few works, and that's because I don't have time to write scripts, so most of the time I tell some of the writers in my company the stories I have in mind, and let them write them down." After a pause, he continued: "And I think it's a good subject, but as a film that involves high-tech knowledge, it's not what I'm good at, so I can't perfectly express it through words." And that's exactly what you're good at. I'm sure you can understand. In a way, a creative theme is like a child we have just born, and as a "father" I always hope that he can stand out. I think you're particularly good at conceiving a book based on a controversial theory and technique, and cutting out characters around that theory. And your plot is mysterious, suspenseful, **stacked, and exciting. So I think in your hands, its future will be even brighter! ”

Michael Hilllighton was silent for a long time, Lin Yu's evaluation of him could be said to the point, which made him have a kind of pleasure in meeting his confidant in the world, and Lin Yu had made it clear that he wanted to give up this subject matter to himself, and he had to admit that he really felt that it was difficult to refuse.

"Lin, let's do that, you tell me your story first, if I'm really interested. Then we might as well co-author! Michael Clayton finally decided.

"Yay!" Lin Yu shouted in his heart. After turning around in such a big circle, and racking his brains to say so many words, his final goal. That's not all. In fact, before he came, he had already thought about it, and it was nothing if he couldn't get a co-authorship. As long as you get the right to adapt its film and television, since you choose to cooperate with the Republican Party, then Lin Yu has to make the Republican Party pay attention to and fear the strength, although Lin Yu has a lot of influence in Europe and Asia, but in the territory of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, Lin Yu's influence in the United States can almost be regarded as none.

Therefore, Lin Yu is ready to start with movies and quickly expand his influence in the United States, so that even if he cooperates with the Republican Party, he can get a big cake.

And after watching the three movies of "Jurassic Park" repeatedly in his previous life, and having the writing experience of this life, he has a considerable confidence that Michael Clayton's writing will be of some help. In this case, it is not completely advantageous to him.

"I don't think you're going to have to make that offer. If you do decide to go with this theme, I will be satisfied with the fact that I have a part of the credit in the preface. Lin Yu smiled calmly, "I believe you should pay attention to cloning technology, have you ever thought about writing a book as a theme?" ”!。
