Chen Muwu had too many literary and artistic themes about aliens in his head, and he didn't figure out for a while, which one should be said to Fan Punk and Chaplin.

There is no need to say that "Star Wars", not to mention that he plans to adapt that series of movies into an outline, so that Eve, who has recently been obsessed with creating science fiction, according to Irena will have an addiction to writing, and just the models and special effects that George Lucas spent a lot of money to produce are the fantasy that directors and producers in this era cannot imagine and cannot make.

What's more, most of the films shown in the cinema are black and white films, and the technology of color films is very immature, and the aesthetics are very poor, which adds a lot of difficulty to the production of "Star Wars" in advance.

His reasons for denying "Star Trek" are not the same as his denial of "StarCraft".

Because people nowadays are limited by their own knowledge, they can't imagine what kind of transportation humans should take when they go on interstellar travel.

The mainstream view in people's minds is that the interstellar transportation called the Galactic Train is imagined based on the train, and if the Enterprise spacecraft is abruptly proposed, many people may be confused.

- It's okay to ask Chen Muwu to provide the script, but let him cross the Atlantic and help the crew design props on the set of Hollywood, no matter how much money he gives, he won't agree, because it's too much time.

In addition to these two god-level IPs about aliens in the future, what Chen Muwu can think of is Spielberg's movie ". Aliens", and the "Country Teacher" by Liu Cixin that he just thought of.

But it is unrealistic for this story to take place in China in 1927, because at this time in the rural areas of the country, except for a few extremely wealthy places, the illiteracy rate is basically higher than the value of 90 percent.

In this case, it is simply impossible to have an obscure village teacher who can teach those innocent children which person is Newton, which is Marton, and what is called Newton's three laws of kinematics.

If this storyline had taken place in China in 1927, it would have been a dramatic affair.

And if those private school gentlemen taught some "rank and rank, secluded Nanshan", those high-level aliens who came to Earth to test children to determine whether they needed to destroy the planet to defend against the invasion of silicon-based creatures would definitely not test this useless knowledge.

When it comes to rural teachers, Chen Muwu thinks of Wittgenstein, who spent a lot of time at Cambridge University because of himself, who wrote "Treatise on Logic and Philosophy" at a young age, and after conceiting that all philosophical problems had been solved, he went to a small village in southern Austria and became a rural teacher out of place.

Moreover, Wittgenstein was both interested in physics and a Cambridge student who studied mathematics and philosophy, and he explained to his students Newton's three laws of kinematics, which was not at all inconsistent.

Although Wittgenstein's ideal of rural construction suffered a setback in the end, forcing him to return to human society, it was a good thing to put the story of this sci-fi short film on him.

After Chen Muwu briefly told Fan Punk and Chaplin, who was listening to the sidelines, he added:

"The story is based on what happened to a good friend of mine, Ludwig Wittgenstein, who had indeed been a village teacher in Austria for a few years, and who also happened to be at Cambridge University now, Mr. Van Punk, and if you want to talk to him, I can introduce you two to each other."

If you want to say that the story told by Chen Muwu is good, it must be very good, because he used the skin of aliens to tell a rather in-depth story.

But if you want to adapt this story into a movie, move it into a movie theater and move it to the screen, whether it can be a big hit, no one can say.

Later, Ning Hao adapted the story of "Country Teacher" and filmed "Crazy Alien", and invited two actors with profound comedy skills, Huang Bo and Shen Teng, to join the assistant actors.

In the twenties, movies were still just a form of entertainment for human beings to relax after being bored, and they had not yet evolved to the extent that movies were used to make people feel after watching them, so as to preach to people.

If someone else had provided him with such a synopsis, Van Punk would not have had any hope of making it into a movie at the box office, and he felt that this version of the story would not be much better than his alien Tarzan.

But now the person sitting across from him is different, Chen Muwu, who is currently the hottest topic in the scientific community, and is also recognized as an expert in "alien research" in the world.

Under this banner alone, he can trick Americans who are rich and free, and who still look forward to the advanced knowledge of Europe, into the cinema, and as long as he can cheat the box office and make a lot of money, his film will not be a loss.

As for whether word-of-mouth will be polarized after people finish watching the movie, or will simply be full of criticism, it has nothing to do with United Pictures.

- After all, from filming to release, the focus of publicity is Chen Muwu.

And now people are very new to the aliens, Chen Muwu also mentioned interstellar travel in the synopsis of the story, as well as higher level intelligent beings than humans, and the cosmic war between carbon-based creatures and silicon-based creatures.

Fan Punk immediately decided to make a movie according to the story provided by Chen Muwu.

Griffith's "The Same Party" failed not because he told a boring story, but because he invested a lot of money in the filming and production.

As long as the investment can be controlled, it will be a sure deal for Luen Mei Pictures.

Just now, Chen Muwu also said that the prototype of this rural teacher is a philosopher at Cambridge University, so while promoting this as an alien movie, can it also be promoted that this is also the first philosophical movie?

Well, it has nothing to do with philosophy.

"Dr. Chen, can I meet the philosopher of the story you are talking about?"

"Of course, I'm happy to introduce you to each other. But Mr. Van Punk, you know, philosophers are very eccentric, and you must not blame me if you eat shut up with him. ”

Van Punk wanted to get up and go to see Wittgenstein now, but before that, he was stopped by Chaplin, who was next to him.

"Dr. Chen, thank you for providing such a wonderful and in-depth story for Luen Mei Pictures, you see, how much should we pay for this story?"

"Is it paid? No, didn't we say before, I will be a consultant for your company's alien movie, and your company will help shoot and record the wedding when I get married next year? ”

"Well, being a consultant is being a consultant, and providing a story is providing a story, these two things are not the same.

"You can get a fee for publishing articles in magazines, and you provide us with new shooting ideas, so there's no reason why you can't get paid for it."

Fan Punk had a smile on his face, but he complained in his heart about the partner next to him:

Chen Muwu didn't say it himself, why did he mention any remuneration in a good manner!

If Chen Muwu took this opportunity to open his mouth after Chaplin's reminder, would he pay for the money or not?

Chen Muwu didn't expect Chaplin to rush to make money for himself, and he also sent the pricing power to his own hands.

For Chen Muwu, the script fee is equivalent to Cao Cao's chicken ribs, if there is less money, it will not be able to enter his eyes, and if it is more, the other party will not necessarily give it.

Instead of this, it is better to send a favor, as a bargaining chip to make friends with Fan Punk and Chaplin.

But since Chaplin had taken the initiative back to his side, Chen Muwu felt that he could get some benefits from them.

"I also like to watch the movies made by Luen Mei Pictures, and I feel very honored that the story I provide can be selected by your company, and I have never thought about asking for script fees at all, not to mention that your company has to shoot the whole wedding process for me, which makes me very grateful."

Fan Punk turned his worries into joy, and said in his heart that Dr. Chen would be a man, and Chaplin almost wanted to spoil me.

He was happy for a few seconds, and then he heard a turning point in Chen Muwu's words: "Luen Mei Pictures can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood controlled by those big Wall Street capitalists and fight a bloody way, which means that your company must have its own excellence in film."

"Therefore, I have a reluctant request, if there is a chance in the future, I hope that your company can accept some of my compatriots, let them train at Luen Mei Pictures, intern, and learn some filmmaking and acting skills. I wonder if you two will be able to agree to my request? ”

After the school in Stockholm was on the right track, and the various industries that Chen Muwu and the Wallenberg family cooperated with began to make stable profits, Chen Muwu must have implemented the second step of his entertainment plan, making a film to establish the image of the Chinese.

Just by writing a few books of George Chen and later Di Renjie's series, its scope of influence is limited to English-speaking countries and the Western world.

But if these stories are made into movies, it will radiate to the whole earth, and it will also allow more people who have no patience to read those words to enter the cinema through word of mouth, and come into contact with the image of George Chen, a smart and upright Chinese on the big screen.

Chen Muwu is in the next big game of chess.

Fan Punk, who had just heard the reluctant invitation, was taken aback again, and the more polite he said, the more likely he was to ask for a sky-high price.

It wasn't until he heard what Chen Muwu said clearly that he nodded in agreement and agreed to this matter.

In Van Punk's view, the word "future" is basically equivalent to an ethereal thing.

Maybe Chen Muwu mentioned the matter of wanting to send someone to learn how to make movies, just because of the whim of the two of them visiting today.

After a while, he might forget about today.

And sending a few apprentices to Luen Mei Pictures would not hurt the film company.

Cheap labor delivered to your door, no need to use it in vain!

After reaching a verbal agreement, Chen Muwu left his room with two people to find Wittgenstein, who had rented a house in Cambridgeshire.

As one of the main entertainments of this era, movie stars were so famous that even Wittgenstein, who had lived in seclusion in the Austrian countryside for a long time, could recognize the two men.

After introducing them to each other, Chen Muwu made an excuse and left Wittgenstein's room by saying that he was still going to prepare a speech for next month's meeting in Belgium.

He had been tormented by philosophical questions for several days, so this time he chose to stay away from the land of right and wrong early.

Unexpectedly, there was a person behind him: "Dr. Chen, Dr. Chen." ”

Chen Muwu turned around and found that Chaplin had also slipped out of that room.

"I'm really not interested in philosophical issues, but I'm quite interested in you, and I have a few questions I would like to ask."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if you have any questions, please just say it directly."

"Just now you said that you want to send someone to Lianmei Pictures to learn acting and shooting, is it possible that Dr. Chen, do you want to enter the film industry?"

Chen Muwu didn't expect Chaplin's mind to be so keen and able to see through what he was thinking.

Or did he show too much eagerness and become Sima Zhao's heart?

In this case, he didn't want to deny it, but nodded: "Maybe I will have this plan in the future, but for now, I still want to devote all my energy to physics research." ”

"That's great, I'm good friends with Professor Einstein, and I know that scientists like you who do scientific research, even if you make a small contribution, can push our human society forward a big step, such as steam engines, generators, ......."

Einstein and Chaplin had a really good relationship, and when he did the famous relativity experiment "Beauty and the Furnace", the female guest he invited was Chaplin's wife.

"You have to devote all your energy to physics, and rightfully so. However, if Dr. Chen, you are very interested in making movies, are you willing to take a stake in our United Pictures? I can take a portion of my shares and transfer them to you. ”

Investing in Luen Mei?

What kind of strange unfolding is this?
