Gu Cancan's trip to Venice returned satisfied, with both people and money, which can be described as a spring breeze.

However, Wang Qianyuan was a little disappointed, although the reputation of "Buried Alive" in Venice was very good, it was a pity that the awards were all nominated, and in the end the Best Director and Best Actor did not win, and he comfortingly gave a small award for the best original screenplay in Asia, which has nothing to do with him. But even if there is only a nomination for Best Actor, you can go back to China to blow a wave, and Wang Qianyuan's agent has begun to think about how to send a press release.

What Gu Cancan didn't know was that although the domestic entertainment industry did not favor the Venice Film Festival, and there were few Chinese reporters who came to Venice this time, the photo of her and Zhang Yimou still ranked in the top ten of the domestic entertainment hot search.

At that time, Gu Cancan, Wang Xiaoxiao, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Ting experienced the baptism ceremony together, and took a group photo.

By chance, some domestic media saw this photo.

Zhang Yimou is a relatively low-key director in China, but his private life has also been talked about, especially the relationship with Gong Li at the beginning.

Now there are wedding photos of Director Zhang and a certain woman on the Internet, and after some media reports have reported, they quickly aroused onlookers from the melon-eating crowd, and then everyone was surprised to find that next to Zhang Yimou, it was not Gu Cancan!

Looking closely, Gu Cancan took wedding photos with a delicate and cute girl.

What's going on?

The energy of netizens is huge, and soon someone found out the identity of Wang Xiaoxiao, she is Gu Cancan's best friend from childhood to adulthood, and now she is the vice president of the strategic investment department of Bright Times.

"I found out that it was his wife Chen Ting who took wedding photos with Zhang Yimou, and the main palace where the media is marrying."

"I don't want to care about who the woman next to Lao Mouzi is, I just want to know what is the situation with Gu Cancan and that girl's wedding photos?"

"yes, how did they get together?"

"Are Gu Cancan and Zhang Yimou very familiar?"

"As far as I know, this is a special tourist program in Venice, where you get baptized in a church, and many tourists experience it. To put it bluntly, this is a kind of tourism project. ”

"Praise upstairs, that's what happened."

With a reasonable explanation, the melon-eating audience scattered a lot, but there are still many people who think that Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao took such a photo, does it mean something?

Think about Gu Cancan, who has appeared in public since she was fourteen years old, because of her special showbiz development route, there have been no scandals.

If she was young before, she is now eighteen years old and has never been in love, and now some people can't help but open their minds when they see the photos of Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao, is Gu Cancan Lala?

This statement circulated on the Internet for two days, and was quickly suppressed by Wang Xiaoxiao's hand, and it did not cause any waves.

After all, this is just a special tourist project of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, many people go there, they will try this tourism project, Gu Cancan and Zhang Yimou are together, most people think that such a statement is nonsense.

But after that, the saying that Gu Cancan is Lala began to appear on the Internet.

Wang Xiaoxiao felt very guilty when she learned about it, Gu Cancan is a public figure, and it is rumored that it is Lala, which will have a bad impact on her subsequent development.

However, Gu Cancan didn't take it to heart, in her opinion, the fact that she is a woman and loves women will be announced one day, and now there is such news to blow, and when she really announces it in the future, the public will be psychologically prepared and may be a little more acceptable.

Besides, she is not taking the route of a traffic star, even if she loses a large number of fans because of her sexual orientation, the impact on her will not hurt her muscles and bones, and it is a big deal to go behind the scenes and no longer appear in public.

……

After returning to China, Gu Cancan learned that the editing of "Heartbreaker" had been completed, and he excitedly went to watch it.

The post-production has not been done yet, and the background music and dubbing have not yet been completed, but Gu Cancan still watched the edited version in its entirety.

Now that the film production industry in the bright era is becoming more and more mature, after the filming is completed, the post-production department no longer needs Gu Cancan to keep an eye on it to produce a complete work with excellent quality, Gu Cancan only needs to make the final check.

This model has gradually become the norm, and sometimes the director no longer has the editing right, and it is precisely because of this that there are often cases where the producer scatters the film editing, and finally the director takes the blame.

The movie "Heartbreaker" did not appear in the original time and space, this was shot by Gu Cancan completely independently, there is no reference to the original version, and Gu Cancan does not dare to say that how to shoot it will definitely be recognized by the market, this is her first original attempt.

She was also dissatisfied with the finished film edited by the company, so in the past two days after returning to China, Gu Cancan has been in the editing room to re-edit some details.

For Gu Cancan's sci-fi films, there are not many people who are optimistic.

Science fiction is a niche in China, but there is also a group of loyal fans, especially Liu Cixin, He Xi, and Wang Jinkang, which can be said to be the three banners of Chinese science fiction.

And "Heartbreaker" is a totem of Chinese science fiction in the hearts of many science fiction fans.

In fact, as a science fiction, "Heartbreaker" is pale.

I grabbed a random sci-fi fan and asked him which sci-fi or movie impressed him the most.

Some of them might answer "The Matrix" because its worldview is so subversive that even the rulers have changed.

Some people may answer "Inception" because it uses the most mundane "dreaming" in life to open up extraordinary brain holes.

Some people may answer "The Three-Body Problem" because of its large scenes and long time span, it is a veritable science fiction epic.

But "Heartbreaker" is not, its content about science fiction is just a time and space transition back to the past, which is a setting that has been used countless times, and it can be said that there is no creativity at all.

And it can't be more "soft" science fiction, except for "space-time transformation", "great unified equation", there is almost no science-related vocabulary in the whole text, and the protagonist He Xi's book "Microcontinuity Theory" is probably also the author's head to come up with a pat on the head.

Fundamentally speaking, "The Heartbreaker" is indeed not a work that can stand up to scrutiny.

But in the hearts of many science fiction fans, "Heartbreaker" is a work that combines career, family, love, and social reality almost flawlessly, Gu Cancan still remembers the first time she watched "Heartbreaker", she was shocked and speechless, this short story tells her that in this selfish world, there are still some things that are so white and flawless: parental love; the pursuit of truth; A dream buried in my heart.

In fact, sometimes, the most touching things are those things other than science fiction. They have nothing to do with the era, no background, no protagonist. It exists in our time and in theirs. They exist in the story, and they are a string in the bottom of the heart, like the wrinkled smile of a twilight beauty, the dying blow of a hero of exhaustion, and the singing of a nobody standing between heaven and earth. It's a kind of regret, it's a feeling, it's love.

This science fiction masterpiece, which is actually not called science fiction, has resonated with many readers, probably because deep down in everyone's heart, there has been or still has such a "sad person".

This classic in the hearts of many science fiction fans has been sung down in the science fiction circle after the film and television rights were bought by the bright era, and the most mentioned reason is that Huaxia can't make decent science fiction movies at all.

There are even radical sci-fi fans who wrote to He Xi, asking him to take back the film and television rights of "Heartbreaker", on the grounds that it is impossible to make excellent sci-fi movies in China.

Not only He Xi, but also Liu Cixin has many readers contacting him, hoping that he will not sell his copyright at will.

"The problem now is not that I don't want to sell the rights, but that no film company has any intention of buying it." Liu Cixin actually thought very heartily.

Science fiction is not only in China, but in the whole world, and China is the hardest hit area of science fiction movies.

In fact, there were several excellent science fiction movies in the 70s, but after the 80s, they never appeared again.

However, there are actually several big bulls in the field of science fiction in China, and Liu Cixin is the best one.

Gu Cancan first saw Liu Cixin when he was in the fifth or sixth grade of primary school, at that time he had not yet written about the three-body problem, and he had not yet become a god, but Gu Cancan liked his articles much more than He Xi and Wang Jinkang.

Most of the domestic sci-fi fans are also fans of Da Liu.

(By the way, I complained about it.,Until now, the impression of Lao Wang is very bad.,The H plot in it has caused a certain degree of shadow to people's young hearts.,Each forced H plot.,It's not too elegantly written.,The protagonist in it is the same as being manipulated by his own lust.,It's not as good as what the author wrote himself.。 ）

In fact, since he started writing science fiction, Liu Cixin's income has surpassed that of most writers, and he is one of the very successful people.

However, science fiction is a niche in China, and Liu Cixin still hopes that his works can be adapted into big movies and appear on the big screen.

It's a pity that for so many years, only He Xi's "Heartbreaker" was bought by Bright Times and adapted into a movie.

After receiving a lot of letters and messages from readers, Liu Cixin was also quite speechless, he knew that there have been several science fiction movies in Huaxia in recent years, and the readers' worries are understandable, but because of this, he was asked not to sell film and television copyrights, which is too domineering, right?

The problem is that there are no film and television companies to buy film and television copyrights.

After work that day, Liu Cixin returned home and found that there were two guests at home.

"Lao Liu, it's just right that you came back, these two are from Bright Times Company, and they have something to do with you." Liu Cixin's wife came over with a smile on her face and took Liu Cixin's bag, and said silently with her mouth: "Buy copyright." ”

Liu Cixin nodded slightly, and then greeted them with a smile: "Hello, I'm Liu Cixin." ”

"Hello, we are in the bright era, my name is Wang Xiaoxiao, this is Su Qian." The person who came was Wang Xiaoxiao and an employee of the investment department.

Liu Cixin invited them to sit down, and then said, "Bright era? ”

Although science fiction fans like to call Liu Cixin Da Liu, in fact, Liu Cixin is forty-five years old, and he doesn't know much about the film and television industry.

"I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?" Liu Cixin said and thought back to the name of the Bright Era, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled: "We are a film and television company, and we want to buy Mr. Liu's film and television copyright, by the way, some time ago we bought Mr. He Xi's "The Sadder", I don't know if Mr. Liu has any impression." ”

Liu Cixin suddenly realized: "Oh! I remember, Lao He's "Heartbreaker" was sold to you, I heard that it has been made into a movie, right? ”

"Yes, filming has been completed, and it will be released this year. Hehe, speaking of which, Mr. Liu is still my idol. I've liked you since junior high school, and "Science Fiction World" has never been left behind, and under my influence, Cancan also likes science fiction. I'll get straight to the point, this time I came here to negotiate with you to buy your film and television copyright, I don't know if your film and television copyright is still in your hands? Wang Xiaoxiao explained with a smile.

Liu Cixin smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to hear you say that you like me." Gu Cancan recently filmed "The Heartbreaker", when will the movie be released? ”

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled decently and said: """Heartbreaker" is a movie that Cancan values very much, and it is now in the late stage, and the release time is expected to be on New Year's Day. ”

"Oh, I really hope this movie is a great success, we really need a high-quality sci-fi film to boost the morale of the audience. My film and television rights are still in my hands, what do you mean? Liu Cixin actually already has the answer in his heart.

Wang Xiaoxiao said with a straight face: "Yes, we want to buy the film and television rights of several of your films. ”

Liu Cixin was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Does your company only buy my film and television copyright?" ”

"Not only yours, but in our plan, the works of Mr. He Xi, Mr. Wang Jinkang, Mr. Pan Haitian, and Mr. Xinghe will all be involved." Wang Xiaoxiao did not hide Liu Cixin: "Mr. Liu, Chinese science fiction movies are indeed at a low ebb, Cancan has feelings, and has the ability to break into a new sky here in science fiction movies." ”

Liu Cixin said with a smile: "Now there is no hot-selling movie in the Chinese film industry, the investment in science fiction movies is large and the audience is small, it is rare that you are willing to shoot science fiction movies in the bright era, but don't rush for quick success, take your time." ”

"You're talking about, what about film and television copyrights?"

Liu Cixin said slowly: "I don't know which film and television copyrights you want to buy. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao already had a draft in her heart, and said fluently: "In fact, if you agree, we can buy all your film and television copyrights in Bright Times." ”

Liu Cixin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have written more than 30 films, and the cost of film and television copyright is not a small amount. ”

"Hehe, the key now is Mr. Liu, are you willing to sell?" Wang Xiaoxiao smiled confidently, and the temperament of a local tyrant who is not bad for money is almost becoming a substance.

Liu Cixin fell into thought.
