Chapter 177: God-like script

And if possible, take this film to Europe and the United States for release, with the prominence of Qifeng, it will definitely be able to win a high box office, you must know that in later generations, this movie has won a high box office of 350 million worldwide. Even if there is no soil for its survival now, it is possible to win tens of millions of dollars for such a wonderful movie.

Science fiction films, as the name suggests, are genre films based on science fiction. As early as 1902, Georges Mérieux created the first science fiction film, A Trip to the Moon, and since then, science fiction has become the most indispensable film genre in the world of cinema.

Science fiction films not only bring countless whimsical ideas to people, but also provide ideas for scientific inventions in real society to a certain extent. This is also the reason why science fiction films are becoming more and more alive, and you can not only appreciate the visual impact unconsciously, but also activate your brain, why not.

And "This Man is from Earth" does not capture the gorgeous visual effects scenes, does not enjoy the fun in the colorful fantasy world, and tests your thinking ability, which is like a miniature version of the history of human civilization, a movie based on the script.

What would you think if a person told you that he lived for 140 centuries, that he was a caveman, that he had the opportunity to sail with Columbus, that he had the opportunity to listen to music with Beethoven, that he had painted with Van Gogh, that he had listened to the teachings of Shakyamuni, that he had lived --- Jesus, that he had the wisdom that time had piled up, and that one day you suddenly realized that he was a friend of yours, a colleague with whom you had spent many years? Question him with a myriad of questions? Or believe him? Ask him countless questions?

"That Man from Earth" tells the story of a 35-year-old history professor at Harvard who suddenly quit after a decade of work, leaving his colleagues puzzled and meeting at his home to urge him to explain. But the reason John came up with surprised them: the professor claimed that he was immortal, had lived for 14,000 years, and could not stay in one place for more than 10 years, or his secret would be discovered. The crowd was annoyed and scrambling to debunk the lame excuse, but soon they found that they could not prove what John had claimed, just as John could not prove what he claimed. What was originally a friendly farewell party began to change the atmosphere......

If you want to change the views of Hong Kong filmmakers, what kind of film art, what breakthroughs, are all floating clouds, and the most direct thing to change their views is to use perfect scripts and less investment to get high box office cases.

Besides, Li Yihua said on the show that he would invest 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a gentleman should be true to his word, not to mention that when he said it when thousands of people were watching, Li Yihua didn't want to be ashamed.

Another advantage of this movie is the necessity of publicity, think about the publicity gimmick, although it is a pseudo-sci-fi blockbuster, but if it is in the name of a sci-fi blockbuster, it will definitely attract a large number of audiences, you must know that this is the first sci-fi blockbuster in Hong Kong.

But the most difficult thing for Li Yihua is that this movie is adapted from Western science fiction novels, and it is essentially a Western movie, even if the copyright is bought, it may not necessarily adapt to the tastes of Eastern audiences, which is really worth the loss.

Li Yihua touched his head and fell into deep thought. What to do? What to do? Why can't you shoot according to your own ideas, why do you have to shoot secretly from foreign scripts, why can't you innovate?

Right! Just shoot it according to your own ideas, why remake someone else's, your own movie is your own decision.

Thinking of this, Li Yihua's thinking was quickly opened, and he came up with a script that combines East and West, the more he thought about it, the more right he became, and he imported Chinese elements into Hollywood, and it would be relatively easy to break into the European and American markets in the future.

Li Yihua's excitement was mobilized all of a sudden, and he picked up the pen and began to write:

The protagonist has lived for 140 centuries and is a caveman, because the body's metabolism is relatively slow, and the cells are renewed too quickly, which is greater than the dead cells, so he can remain forever young and become eternally young.

With the changes of the times, the protagonist's body has become more suitable for the world with the changes, and he is fortunate to have escaped the disasters of nature and witnessed the formation of mountains, hills, rivers, and oceans, until he was blocked by the ocean and stayed in the East.

He once incarnated as Shakyamuni to influence sentient beings, and only after he became famous did he retire with fake death and leave quietly.

Once incarnated as Huo Quai, he sat down as a military advisor, and shouted together, "The Huns are not destroyed, how can they be home", leaving a good story of "sealing the wolf and living in Xu".

once incarnated and talked about poetry with Li Bai, leaving poems for the ages.

I have also witnessed Xin Qiji's loyalty and courage, sacrificing his life for righteousness.

It wasn't until Zheng He went to the West that he came to Europe and the United States to start another strange journey.

Can you believe it, he didn't sail with Columbus, thinking he wasn't a seafarer?

Can you believe it, he had smallpox, plague, yellow fever?

Can you believe it, he's seen ice ages, he's hunted mammoths?

Can you believe it, he said that he was under Shakyamuni Buddha and benefited a lot.

Can you believe it in the end, he said that he was Jesus.

He hated war, and in order to avoid it, he settled in Hong Kong and lived here for 200 years

The consequence of his eternal youth is that he can't stay in one place for a long time, and every 10 years he has to move, and by accident, a group of colleagues come to his house as a guest, and find that his house is full of antiques that seem to be real and fake, and all kinds of strange things.

In the minds of these scholars, all kinds of doubts and inquiries come to their faces.

The routine still follows the structure of later generations, but the story plot in it adds the ancient history of China and injects fresh blood, it can be said that this is a script that integrates Eastern and Western civilizations, and everything is won by the plot. The story can be said to be interlocking and engaging.

For the current Li Yihua, this script is an attempt to see if he can come up with a new idea. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't affect other plans. He will still inspire the creation of screenwriters, there is great power in numbers, and collective wisdom cannot be underestimated.

Looking at the messy script he wrote, Li Yihua shook his head secretly, his strength is still small, and the links must stand up to scrutiny, after all, this is a sci-fi blockbuster with a winning plot, and ordinary sci-fi films have a bad plot and rely on special effects to win.

Li Yihua stretched his waist, heard his stomach croaking, and unconsciously realized that an afternoon had passed, and it seemed that he had to solve his physiological needs first!
