When it comes to Chinese science fiction literature, it can be said that many people are very unfamiliar with it, and it can be regarded as a niche theme. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, in the era of martial arts, at most romance novels diverted some female readers, and with the advent of the Internet era, Xianxia and fantasy have become the mainstream, and science fiction has always been tepid.

"The Three-Body Problem" is China's first full-length science fiction novel that has been internationally recognized, and has won Hugo Awards and Nebula Award nominations. And this book is indeed quite good, with huge epic scenes, which can fully support a feature-length movie.

Therefore, in the opinion of Wu Tian, a director who is extremely strict with the script, if he doesn't make a Chinese science fiction movie, it's just that, if he wants to make it, it must be "The Three-Body Problem".

But the problem is that "The Three-Body Problem" is not so easy to film!

Da Liu, the author of the original work, said that he would not participate in the production of the film "Three-Body Problem", because he didn't know how this novel could be adapted into a movie, at most he would participate in the writing of "Script", but he also didn't know how to adapt the novel into a screenplay.

Because the story structure of "The Three-Body Problem" is really huge and complicated, it can be told slowly in the novel, the story can be told clearly, and the characters can be explained clearly.

Wu Tian also had a headache about this problem.

After all, the length of the movie is limited, and the narrative mode is far less free than the novel, it is very difficult for the audience to remember a protagonist and several main supporting roles, and it requires a very smooth narrative process, if there are too many protagonists and too many narrative lines, let alone let the audience understand the storyline, I am afraid that I can't even remember the characters!

In fact, there are not no films in similar situations, such as the famous "Avengers", the biggest feature is that there are many characters, but the audience can remember each role very clearly, remember everyone's strengths and roles that can be played. That's for another reason - Marvel has made separate movies about the stories of several major members of the Avengers, and some have made several films in a row!

This strengthens the character image to a large extent, so that fans will not suddenly face so many characters and can't remember who is who, resulting in confusion about the whole story.

But the problem is that "The Three-Body Problem" can't seem to be filmed in this way, this is not a superhero film, but a sci-fi epic!

Wu Tian pondered for a long time, but did not find a suitable shooting mode, but this did not affect Wu Tian to win the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem".

**************************************************************************************************************

Although Da Liu has won the Hugo Award for "The Three-Body Problem", he can already be said to be a famous writer, but he has no consciousness of becoming a great writer at all, after Wu Tian asked Tianzheng Film and Television to contact him, he was so excited that he immediately said that the adaptation right is trivial, and the remuneration can be given casually, and he will be content if he can have hundreds of thousands.

"Hehe, you can't just give it," Wu Tian heard Liu Xiaoqing's reply, and said with a smile, "The script I fancy really wants to only give a few hundred thousand, isn't it too bad?" In this way, tell him that I will bid 10 million to buy the adaptation rights of his three works. ”

"You, why don't you save money if you can?" Liu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone is bargaining, it's better for you to take the initiative to increase the price." ”

"I really can't save on this." Wu Tian said with a serious face, "If a country, a nation's culture wants to develop, it is inseparable from the income of creators, if the proportion of labor paid and the return received is too poor, who is willing to seriously invest in this industry?" Do you know why Lao Mi's culture can practice all over the world? Not only because of Lao Mi's strong economic strength, but you also have to admit that the level of cultural creation is much higher than that of most countries. And the reason why it has grown to this extent is because other writers' incomes are very high, so that they can do writing as a real career, not just to make a living. ”

"You seem to have told me this big truth," Liu Xiaoqing smiled bitterly, "Yes, if you are willing to spend money, we will spend more." Well, in fact, there is another way, let's publicize a high price, in fact, we can reach a private agreement with the author, give a little less......"

"Are we short of money?" Wu Tian pouted and said, "Come on, 10 million is not much, so it's decided." ”

10 million is really not much, you must know that Wu Tian won the film adaptation right of "Returning the Pearl", which used 20 million, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" also has 15 million, which is only the adaptation right, not the price of the script, you must know that Ba Sing is also responsible for the script screenwriting of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Wu Tian also has another remuneration for this piece, and the script price of each movie is also millions.

Of course, the original value of "The Three-Body Problem" is not as good as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", let alone "Returning the Pearl", this is not to say that "The Three-Body Problem" is not well written, but the market value of the work is worse, after all, "Returning the Pearl" has a very large audience base, and the readership of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is far more than "The Three-Body Problem", and the number of potential audiences after being adapted into a movie is by no means comparable to "The Three-Body Problem".

Therefore, from the perspective of the market, the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy only gives a total of 10 million, which is quite a lot.

For Wu Tian, the price of 10 million is actually not a loss, after all, "The Three-Body Problem" has a favorable condition, that is, the original work has been recognized by foreign science fiction literary circles, which means that when the film is released in overseas markets in the future, it will be much easier to implement.

So, it's a win-win for the price!

Liu Xiaoqing shook his head helplessly and sighed, but according to Wu Tian's instructions, he called Da Liu on the spot, and clearly told him that Director Wu Tian personally set the price of 10 million......

**************************************************************************************************************

"Hehe, let you raise the price, and you're not afraid of scaring people out of a bad ......," Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile.

"Not only to scare him out, but also to stimulate all Chinese literary creators!" Wu Tian said with a smile, "This matter is still hyped like last time, and people must know that there is money to be made in cultural creation now!" ”

"Well, I don't need you to say it, I must do a good job of publicity." Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Even if it's just for the box office of our movies in the future, we have to hype up this matter first." Well, by the way, will you direct it yourself this time, or will it only be a name? ”

"I have to go out myself," Wu Tian laughed.

The reason why he took over this movie now is actually that Wu Tian wants to make an image of "serious work" to avoid making his father questioned because he doesn't do his job all day.

Therefore, Wu Tian not only has to direct the movie in person, but more importantly, in this transaction of script adaptation rights, Wu Tian also has to personally go out and expose it.

"It's called......" Liu Xiaoqing smiled, answered the phone, and pressed the speakerphone directly.

"Teacher Liu, I'm Liu Xiaoqing, and Director Wu Tian is also there." Liu Xiaoqing said, "Didn't you say just now that you agreed to sell the adaptation rights?" ”

"Agreed, must agree!" Da Liu said excitedly, "I'm a fan of Director Wu, the director I admire the most is willing to adapt my novel, even if I don't give money, I have to agree!" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu is polite," Wu Tian also said with a smile, ""The Three-Body Problem is a very good novel, but it is very difficult to adapt this novel into a movie, I am only afraid that my ability is limited and I can't shoot it well." ”

"Where can you, if you don't want a good card, I guess no one will be able to shoot well, hehe." Da Liu said with a smile.

"Thank you Teacher Liu for your affirmation," Wu Tian said with a smile, "That's it, let's see when you have time, come to the capital, let's meet and talk about it carefully, and see how it is more appropriate to adapt." Of course, if Mr. Liu doesn't have a special request, we can also sign the adaptation right transfer contract by the way, and then hold a press conference or something, do you think it's okay? ”

"Yes, of course." Da Liu said excitedly, "However, Director Wu, the price of this adaptation right is ...... what Mr. Liu said just now."

"Ten million, there's nothing wrong with that." Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Uh, this, that's too much......" Da Liu was excited again, and his words were a little unfavorable, but fortunately, the call was not broken this time.

"For me, "The Three-Body Problem" is worth so much, I have to give you so much." Wu Tian said lightly.

"Well, that, thank you, thank you Director Wu for your affirmation, I really didn't expect this book to make so much money......" Da Liu's tone was a little choked, and he said.

"Hehe, what's the problem, let's meet and talk again." Wu Tian said with a smile, "If you have set an itinerary over there, notify Mr. Liu first, and she will help arrange your air tickets, reception, etc." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, and I'll go over ......" Da Liu responded again and again and hung up the phone.

**************************************************************************************************************

"I heard you're going to make a new film?"

Xishan Villa, Xinru and Ximeng sandwiched Wu Tian in the middle and asked as if they were forced to confess.

"You're so well-informed, huh? It must have been Gao Yang who leaked the news, right? Wu Tian smiled bitterly, he only confirmed with Gao Yang yesterday that he wanted to make a movie, and today he contacted the author, but he didn't want the actor to kill before the adaptation contract was signed.

"Don't talk about it, what we want to ask is...... Director Wu, is there a role in the new film that suits the two of us? Xinru asked with a look of anticipation and admiration.

"Well, this ......" Wu Tian scratched his head, he really couldn't be sure.

"Don't be perfunctory, say it quickly!" Xi Meng was in the posture of a little tiger and shouted.

"It's really hard to say," Wu Tian said, "There is no shadow of the script yet, and how to adapt it has not yet been scored." However, there are a lot of female characters in this film, and there should be someone suitable for the two of you. ”

"Well, that's good." Xinru immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Xi Meng said dissatisfiedly: "What is the role that suits us?" What about the main character? Who plays the first heroine? Do you think it's okay for me and Sister Xinru? ”

"Niu, you're embarrassing me, I don't have a concept of what this film is going to look like." Wu Tian smiled bitterly, "Besides, this film is likely to be made into an epic film, and there is no absolute heroine in it." It can also be said that all the tasks that appear are the protagonists, what do you want me to tell you? ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand......" Xi Meng said with two big eyes and a stupid look.

"Okay, okay, in fact, as long as you can appear in his films, it's very good, you haven't seen Bingbing's big role, and you can only play soy sauce in Hollywood?" Xinru persuaded Xi Meng, "Besides, are you still afraid that he won't bother to leave you a good role?" ”

"That is, if he dares not to give me a good role, see if I don't bite him to death!" Xi Meng pretended to be powerful again, and gestured at Wu Tian with his nails.

"Girl, you have to use your mouth to bite someone, what are you doing with a claw?" Wu Tian said with a smile.

"You...... Xinru sister, he bullied me again! Xi Meng shouted as if she was in her heart.

"So what to do?" The heart is like a grin.

"Original tactics, prepare, start ......" Xi Meng shouted, and immediately stuffed his hand into Wu Tian's armpit, Xinru and immediately cooperated, grabbing Wu Tian's two hands to prevent him from resisting.

Poor Wu Tian couldn't help but roll with laughter immediately, there was no way, although Xinru didn't have that much strength, how could he control Wu Tian? It's just that Wu Tian really couldn't bear to struggle hard, and when he threw her aside, he could only endure Ximeng's bullying.

In fact, isn't that the joy of the boudoir?

A beautiful woman is willing to bully you, that's because she really loves you, if she doesn't squeak you that day, doesn't bite your watch, and is twisted on your thighs, it actually means that she is going to leave you......

So, Wu Tian itched and happy......
