502 Hollywood director wants to make "The Wandering Earth"
It's already November, and Los Angeles is still warm, sunny, and blue.
Kristof sat on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, sipping coffee and enjoying a leisurely summer day.
The villa is located in Parisades, Los Angeles, a beautiful area facing the beautiful Pacific Ocean Coast with the Santa Monica Mountains in the background, where many Hollywood celebrities have purchased properties and made their homes.
Christophe is no exception.
Since the filming of "Silver Star Empire 5", Christophe has given himself a long vacation, declaring that there is no longer a sequel to the "Silver Star Empire" series, and a series has been filmed intermittently for more than ten years, and as a director, he is also tired and annoyed.
If you make a science fiction film again, you will naturally have to change your taste.
Of course, that's for later, now it's time to enjoy life.
Sitting on a beach chair, Kristof swiped his phone and listened to a new song.
This rock song called "Hotel California" is a song sung by the famous domestic rock band Gehrmann, once the song was released, it immediately swept the United States and dominated the Billboard music chart for four consecutive weeks.
This was originally the theme song of the movie "Road Warrior", but it ended up being the promotional song of the movie, and the effect was very good.
"This William. Sure enough, it will do business. Kristoff shook his head.
Of course, he knew the film's producer and director, especially the producer, William, who was his good friend.
But what he didn't expect was that this song was written by a Chinese, and it was said that he was also a good director.
This made him secretly wonder.
But no matter what, the song is good.
Let him, an old man who is over half a hundred years old and rarely listen to new songs, also like this song.
They gathered for the feast
(They gather before the feast)
They stab it with their steely knives .
(wielding a steel knife)
But they just can't kill the beast
(But he can't kill the demon in his heart)
Kristof hummed the song to the rhythm while scrolling through his phone.
He really likes to check out the Fantasy Magazine forum, which is a very interesting sci-fi forum with posts and articles that inspired him during the filming of the film.
Including the world-famous "Silver Star Empire" series, which was originally inspired by a post on this forum, it was conceived and expanded by the screenwriter to form the current series.
Of course, this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought.
Christophe slowly looked at the post and was quickly attracted by a topic on the forum: "Why did the Americans leave the earth when they save humanity, and the Chinese take the earth with them?" ”
There are a lot of posts below.
collectivism
individualism
Politics, values
Kristof wasn't very interested in that, he was looking for that one, what was it that could make the forum noisy?
Finally, he saw the English translation.
The first paragraph deeply shocked him:
I have never seen the night, I have never seen the stars, I have never seen spring, autumn, or winter.
(I haven't seen night, I've never seen stars, I've never seen spring, autumn, and winter.) )
I was born at the end of the braking era, when the Earth had just stopped
(I was born at the end of the brake era, when the earth had just stopped turning.) )
At this moment, he forgot to listen to the music and devoted himself to reading the article until the sun was about to set.
"Dear Christopher, what are you looking at, so seriously? The weather is already dark, and it is better to go back to the mortal world. "An old white woman walked up to the rooftop, and it was his wife, Isabella."
Christophe came to his senses from reading and looked at his wife: "Dear Isabella, I just saw a very good science fiction article called "The Wandering Earth" and I want to make it into a movie. ”
"Christophe, didn't you say that you want to take a break for the time being and give yourself a long vacation?" The wife was surprised to hear this.
"No, no, I feel like I've rested enough, I want to work right now." Christophe said excitedly.
Of course, in order to adapt it into a movie, the author must be contacted to obtain the adaptation rights, and it is impossible for Christophe to go to China to find someone, but his assistant quickly approached the translator of the article, Li Li, an international student at the California Institute of Technology, and expressed his thoughts.
Of course, Yu Dongqing doesn't know about these messy things on the Internet, people of his age rarely visit various forums now.
Time is flowing unhurriedly, and in the blink of an eye, it is December, and the winter in Yanjing has come.
During this time, Yu Dongqing's life was very leisurely, drinking tea, fishing with old friends, or taking care of children at home and Mingmei, as before, except for filming or occasionally participating in some film festivals, Yu Dongqing was in a state of seclusion.
Today is to go to Minghui Tea House with Li Wan to drink tea.
Now, in addition to drinking tea at home with a few old friends, there is also with Li Wan, and the two love to go to Minghui Tea House.
In Li Wan's words, running around is still idle here.
There are fewer people in the tea house in winter, and it snowed yesterday.
"I said Li Wan, you are a busy man, and you still have time to accompany me, an idler, to drink tea here?" Yu Dongqing added hot tea to Li Wan's teacup and said.
Now Li Wan has become a well-known producer in the industry, and his studio has just been upgraded to a production company, recruiting several professional producers, and he has been upgraded to boss, but he is more busy.
Now after listening to Yu Dongqing's words, he said with a smile: "I'm busy." ”
Of course, Yu Dongqing didn't believe what this guy said, his new company had just been established, and he was busy like a dog.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yu Dongqing leaned back, making herself sit more comfortably.
"You really can't just drink tea if you don't want to do anything?" Li Wan said something, and suddenly the words changed:
"Holly, did you write a science fiction book called "The Wandering Earth"?"
"How do you know?" Yu Dongqing was taken aback.
Except for sending this article to her daughter Yu Tongtong, saying that a few girls in the dormitory wanted to read it, Yu Dongqing didn't show it to anyone, including her three old friends.
And Li Wanjia is a son who has gone to college and doesn't know Yu Tongtong. Could it be that this kid has found a girlfriend, a girl in Tongtong's dormitory?
This is extremely unlikely.
Because his son is studying at the California Institute of Technology in the United States, it is impossible to know these little girls.
Seeing Yu Dongqing's surprised face, Li Wan explained: "It was my son who saw this and told me, it was written about the sun going out and humans escaping the solar system with the earth, and the author signed Yu Dongqing. ”
"Your son? Is your son's girlfriend really a roommate in Tongtong's dormitory? Yu Dongqing asked rhetorically.
"What's the mess? Did you write or not? Li Wan was confused by Yu Dongqing's words.
"That's what I said. Yu Dongqing didn't hide anything.
"But I only sent it to my daughter, and she said that her roommate wanted to see how your son knew?"
"He said that he read it on a forum called Science Fiction World, you don't know, your article has been hyped up in the science fiction world, and it has even spread abroad."
"Really? I really don't know. Yu Dongqing shook his head.
"Well, Holly, you and I came to you today, on the one hand, to drink tea, and on the other hand, to confirm this."
Li Wan took out his mobile phone, opened a website and called up an article: "Look at it, is it this?" Signed Yu Dongqing, don't get confused. ”
Yu Dongqing took the phone and looked at it carefully, then returned the phone to the other party: "If it is fake, the original manuscript is still in my computer's hard drive." ”
"That's good. Holly, let me tell you something, the famous American Hollywood director Kristof took a fancy to you, and he wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this film and make it into a movie. ”
Li Wan told the ins and outs of the matter as it was.
It turned out that this Li Li was Li Wan's son studying in the United States, and he was naturally very happy to hear that Christophe was going to make this movie.
But he doesn't know who this Yu Dongqing is, is it his father's friend Yu Dongqing?
It's okay, just ask.
Li Wan was also taken aback when he heard what his son said, of course he wanted to ask clearly, just drinking tea together, and asked by the way.
Unexpectedly, it was really written by Yu Dongqing!
