Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 442 Authorization (last chapter for this year)
If Doug Liman has already filmed "The Bourne Shadow" at this time, then Yu Dong must believe in his ability and can film "The Butterfly Effect".

But today's Doug Liman is still young, and he doesn't have any outstanding works, so it's not sure whether he can be competent for Yu Dong.

Thinking of this, Yu Dong asked, "Are you sure he can shoot "The Butterfly Effect"? Not only because his father is a big shot?"

Jimmy smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this. Although he is young, he is very talented and absolutely capable. By the way, his movie "Swingers" will be released in two days. This movie is invested by his father. Yes, the cost is only 20 US dollars. I have seen this movie in advance, the filming is very good, and the narrative technology is quite mature. Although I want to get in touch with Arthur Liman through him, it is not enough for this It ruins the movie, after all, I used to be a good screenwriter."

Since Jimmy said so, Yu Dong didn't say anything more, it's impossible for Jimmy to fool him about this kind of thing.And Jimmy's style of doing things is familiar to Dong, he always likes to take advantage of the situation.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Screenwriter, according to "Days of Chaos", write a screenplay with the United States as the background."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"It's not in a hurry..."

"Since there is no rush, I will give it to you within two months." Yu Dong said.

Jimmy on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing, "My Dong, your efficiency is really high. What I'm curious about now is, if I say urgent, how long will it take for you to give me the script?"

Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Within two weeks."

"Two weeks... It seems that I have to add more tasks to you." Jimmy clicked his mouth and said, "Your "Prison No. [-]" has not been developed yet, so I have to push it for you to see if I can find a suitable one." The company came to shoot."

"Take a rest first, don't find me any more work this year, and put all the work in next year. I have worked too much during this time, and I am starting to feel a little tired."

Hearing that Yu Dong said that he was a little tired, Jimmy quickly said: "Then you have to take a rest quickly. If you can't, put aside your school work and take Teacher Cheng to find a place to play and relax."

"It's not that exaggerated. The work of the school cannot be delayed." After a pause, Yu Dong asked again: "Who owns the right to adapt the film and television of "Bourne's Identity" now?"

"Bourne's identity? Why did you suddenly mention this?" Jimmy asked puzzled.

"I just saw the news about spies in the past two days and suddenly thought of this book."

"Oh, that's right. Roger Young probably has the right to adapt it. A few years ago, he made a TV movie "Bourne's Identity". The adaptation right in your hand is about to expire, if you are interested, you can wait until after the expiration and find the author directly."

"Of course." Jimmy continued, "I don't recommend buying it. Although the novel is very popular, but with Roger Young's experience, if it is made into a movie, I'm afraid it won't do well at the box office."

"You haven't reached that point yet, you should ask someone to find out where the film and television adaptation rights of this book are, in case you need it."

"That's no problem. Let's ask first. If the price is not high, we will buy it directly. Anyway, the sales volume of this book is very good, and there is no shortage of market. It should not lose money."

"That's fine, I'll hang up first."

Yu Dong was still thinking about the materials in his hand. After studying semiotics during this period, he felt that he had entered the state.

Jimmy didn't let him go, "Don't worry, there is one more thing."

"Didn't you just say two things?"

"I want to ask about your plan for the screenwriter team. I heard from Yu Yu that you have already made appointments with several screenwriters? This shows that you already have specific plans. There are many things you haven't told Yu Yu about, so I will Come and ask."

Yu Dong smiled and said: "It's not that I didn't tell him, it's because I really don't have any specific details yet. I have a few ideas in my mind now, but I don't have time, so I can only hope to get together with those screenwriters."

"Your idea is very good. Whether you can produce a work is secondary. The main thing is to win domestic screenwriters into our hands. After staying in China for such a long time, I found a problem, that is, the country attaches great importance to screenwriters. It's clearly not enough."

Speaking of this, the phone signal was not very good. After waiting for a while, after the signal got better, Jimmy continued: "For a work, the screenwriting team is very important. The script is the cornerstone of a work, although many people I know this, but in actual operation, most people still don’t pay much attention to screenwriting, mainly because most people lack understanding of the screenwriting industry.”

"But I believe that with the passage of time, people will gradually understand the importance of screenwriters. We first win over those capable screenwriters, which can be regarded as an early layout. So when you contact these screenwriters this time, you should also We need to do more research to see which screenwriters have strength and potential."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Just now I was told to take a vacation, but now I'm given a task again."

"You are the boss, who dares to give you a task?"

"I think you are quite brave, and I often feel that I am working for you and being squeezed by you."

"A good working relationship means that the boss makes money for the employees. If the boss can't make money for the employees, how can he attract the employees? If the boss doesn't squeeze the employees, then he is definitely not a good boss."

"Okay, okay, don't give me ecstasy soup, what else do you have to do, I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else to do."

"There is no time now, I will contact you again if I have something to do."

"it is good."

After hanging up Jimmy's phone call, Yu Dong continued to study Dan Brown's information
These materials are very detailed, and Yu Dong has read "The Da Vinci Code", it should not take too long for him to write this novel.

But now there is a problem. "The Da Vinci Code" used the ideas in "Holy Blood Holy Grail". Later, the author of "Holy Blood Holy Grail" also took Dan Brown to court and sued him for plagiarism.

Later, the court ruled in favor of Dan Brown, arguing that there was no plagiarism in "The Da Vinci Code".

"The Da Vinci Code" does use some content from "Holy Blood and Holy Grail", but on the one hand, the amount is not much, and on the other hand, these contents are only shallow extractions, and do not involve the core of the story of "The Da Vinci Code" , so it does not constitute plagiarism.

Although the court sentenced him in this way, Yu Dong still didn't want to cause this trouble. When he was going to write "The Da Vinci Code" later, he went to the author of "Holy Blood and Holy Grail" for authorization.

With the authorization, there will be nothing later.

　The past two days have been drinking and drinking a little bit, and I am more than drunk, thank you for your rewards
