Christophe paused, subconsciously lifted his glasses, pondered for a while before saying: "Mr. Yu, I won't tell you, how to adapt, I already have a preliminary idea with the screenwriter, but you also know that it will be adapted into a film and television script, which is the matter of the screenwriter and director, and has nothing to do with the original author." ”

"However, I can understand your feelings, as far as I know, you are also a good director, so I made an exception to say my adaptation idea."

"Thank you, Mr. Christophe."

In the video, Christophe begins to talk about his initial idea for the adaptation:

The male protagonist (white) is a special forces retired soldier who has been living in the dungeon, and on the way he encountered the heroine (Chinese-American mixed-race) who was attacked by hooligans, and the hero of the male protagonist saved the United States and saved the female protagonist.

The two came to the heroine's house, and the heroine's adoptive father was a black scientist, and told him about the history of the wandering earth. How to break out of the solar system, where it is now, by this time 40 generations have passed.

The population has shrunk from 3.5 billion out of the solar system to 1 billion.

Human beings live in underground cities all over the earth, life is difficult, there is very little communication between the lower cities, technology has slowly degraded in 1000 years, and no one will repair the planetary engines left over from the solar system era. Humans only feed engines. The people of this era generally believed in the cult of the sun god.

Suddenly, the government special forces rushed in and wanted to arrest people, and the male protagonist pulled the female protagonist away with all kinds of bravery. Black scientists killed government forces in order to delay time.

After various pursuits along the way, just when the government army was about to capture the hero and heroine, the hero and heroine were rescued by the rebels.

It turned out that the heroine was the daughter of the former leader of the rebel army, and when she arrived at the rebel base, she began to tell the history, and it turned out that the former leader of the rebel army was also a senior member of the coalition government, because she saw the suffering of the people and wanted to use strategic resources to relieve her, but the corrupt officials did not agree and persecuted, and later led the rebel uprising, which was arrested a few years ago, and was recently publicly executed.

The rebels decided to save the heroine's father. Everyone agreed, after all kinds of preparations, all the way to the government hall. Rescue the heroine's father.

At this time, the high-level boss of the government appeared, a round of Darwinian evolutionary theory. But the heroine immediately refuted the universal values, and the values of the two sides did not agree and started to fight directly.

At this time, the sky fell apart. Earth encounters a gravitational assault on a giant black hole (or asteroid belt). Everyone thought that the great calamity was coming, and they wanted to scatter birds and beasts.

In order to encourage everyone, the heroine gave a speech on universal values, and everyone regained their confidence. But after various rescue operations, it was still useless, and the male protagonist's father finally drove the last ancient super-large colonial ship into the black hole to complete the redemption.

The rebels took over the government and a new democratic and liberal government was formed.

At the end, the hero and heroine, wearing protective clothing, finally came to the surface for the first time, they hugged each other, saw the alien planet rising on the horizon, and began a new journey to wander the earth.

The three of them listened to the video and fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.

"How's the story?" A hint of smugness appeared on Christophe's face.

"Mr. Christophe, your adaptation is very Hollywood." Mingmei interjected.

"Ms. Mingmei, you're right, this plot has gathered all kinds of elements that Hollywood is used to, including values, if it is filmed, it must be very exciting."

"But this is a science fiction book written by Chinese." Mingmei complained.

"I see what you mean, Lady Bright." Christophe reacted immediately: "You said that the protagonist is white and not Chinese or Asian? I can't deny it, but this approach is in line with the current mainstream of Hollywood's values, and at the same time, it can guarantee the box office. ”

Mingmei and Li Wan nodded when they heard this.

Oh, yes

In science fiction movies, especially in the post-apocalyptic category, which one is not a white man saving the world?

Of course, there will be beautiful women, and black people who are full of foul language as assistants. As for Asians, they are either obscure and technological, or they are cannon fodder.

It's pretty much standard.

At this time, Yu Dongqing spoke.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Christophe, after listening to your script, I'm not going to sell you the adaptation rights."

"Why?!" Christophe looked surprised: "Is it because the protagonist of the adapted movie is not you Chinese?" Oh my God, you take this so seriously. ”

Christophe pondered: "How about I change the male protagonist to a Chinese, and let you Chinese martial arts star Li Yunjie play it?" ”

You can have this.

Li Yunjie did not have the skills to say that he was fully qualified for this role, and he was Chinese.

But Yu Dongqing shook his head: "Mr. Christophe, you misunderstood what I meant, which race is the protagonist is secondary, and the most important thing is that the spiritual core embodied in this article - the collectivism of mankind uniting to save the homeland, your change is not reflected at all." It's a kind of your American-style personal heroism. ”

Christophe laughed.

"Collectivism? Mr. Yu, do you think the United States can eat collectivist films? And dear Mr. Yu, you are questioning collectivism in this film! Otherwise, how could there be a collective trial of 5,000 soldiers by a rabble! ”

"You're right, but that doesn't mean that the script adaptation should follow the spirit of the original book. So, I'm sorry, I can't sell you the rights to the film and television adaptation of this book. ”

"Do you Chinese want to shoot? Shoot that kind of so-called collectivism? With all due respect, looking good or not discussing it for the time being, you can't make Hollywood-style blockbusters like us in China now! Let's just say one thing, you can produce special effects like Hollywood blockbusters in China?! “

On the side of the video, the three were silent.

After a while, Yu Dongqing said slowly: "Mr. Christophe, not having it now does not mean that it will not have it in the future." ”

"Well, well, I wish you success."

"Thank you."

The other party's avatar disappears in the frequency screen.

“FUCK！”

In his own office in Los Angeles, Christophe couldn't help but burst into a foul language: "This Yu Dongqing is too arrogant!" After making a few kung fu movies, you thought you could make a science fiction movie? Refusing me was his stupidest decision! ”

"Mr. Christophe, don't be too angry." The assistant next to him comforted: "Although the Chinese is not willing to sell it to us, we can find other science fiction, I think there are still a lot of excellent."

"Yes, a lot, but I like this one very much." Mr. Christophe sighed, "It's a shame that it could have changed to a series like 'Silver Star Empire'." ”

In Yu Dongqing's study, the three of them were relatively speechless.

"Stunned for what? Drink tea, keep drinking tea. Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "It's bright, the water is a little cold, and then boil some hot." ”

"Forget it, don't drink it, I'm going back." Li Wan sighed after speaking, looked at Yu Dongqing who wanted to say something but didn't say it, shook his head and walked out of the study.

"Brother Li, I'll send you." Mingmei followed and walked out.

Now that the matter is done, Yu Dongqing turned off the computer and returned to the living room with the teacup, Mingmei had already sent Li Wan back.

"Husband, do you regret what happened just now?" Mingmei asked.

"It's a bit of a thing, after all, $3 million is not a small amount." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"Actually, you didn't plan to sell it to Christophe, did you?" Mingmei looked at him and said.
