This director is very reliable

Chapter 1005 Boring Activities

Anyone interested in sci-fi will want to try The Three-Body Problem…

Shen Changlin is no exception!
The original time and space, the "Three-Body Problem" movie project failed...

The reason is quite simple, Zhang Fanfan and Kong Ergou, one is for fame, the other is for profit.

Zhang Fanfan bought the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", but the copyright was withdrawn because the filming did not start at the expiration date. He also renewed the contract, and "Three-Body Problem" had not yet nominated Hugo until the renewal was completed...

The sense of smell of other domestic film and television companies is too slow!

Big Liu actually doesn’t care what kind of film he can make, the key is that someone is willing to come out and lead the domestic film industry from 0 to 1, so a little-known little director can buy the film adaptation rights of “Three-Body Problem” with 100,000 yuan .

Although Zhang Fanfan got the film and television adaptation rights, he has no connections, no resources, and no film company willing to cast for the film—he wants to be the chief director. For such a big project, with an investment of hundreds of millions, how much would a film and television company dare to give him? [-] million to play tickets?
So I found Kong Ergou!
Kong Ergou is in Youzu, and Youzu has always been making games. He suddenly found out that this person still has a big IP in his hand, so he took advantage of the opportunity to set up a film and television company. Forecasting and publicity are actually taking this project to various fraudulent financing, making money, and making the company famous.

Later, he simply said that because of force majeure, it would be stagnated indefinitely, so he held the copyright firmly in his hands. Didn't you say that the copyright would be withdrawn if the filming started within a time limit?

When I think it's okay, the market is mature, and I can take it out for a new wave of publicity. It is called restarting the project, and I will go to attract investment, find a partner, and make a fortune. The calculation is very good. "Three The longer this IP is covered, the more valuable it becomes!

In this time and space, "The Three-Body Problem" was just published, and Shen Changlin won the right to adapt it...

Regarding the "Three-Body Problem" movie, Shen Changlin doesn't have a complete shooting plan for this thing...

If you really want to shoot, so much content can only be created in the way of the Marvel Universe: "Luo Ji: Facing the Wall", "Zhang Beihai: Supporting the Future", "Luo Ji: The Mantra", "Zhang Beihai: Forward Four", "Cheng Heart: Stairway, Dark Forest·Deterrence, Cheng Xin: Holding the Sword, Guan Yifan: Gravity, Yun Tianming's Fairy Tale, Cheng Xin: Battle of the Star Ring City, Eternal Death...

Waiting for Shen Changlin to finish filming "Earth Fire" and "Full Band Blocking Interference"...

The materials are almost accumulated, and we should be able to challenge "The Three-Body Problem"!

At that time, he was almost 40 years old!
He planned it like this, but netizens are very anxious, you go to station B, there are a bunch of "Three-Body" clips...

Including Shenyou Bafang Company also made an animated version...

If Shen Changlin is shameless and makes a film like "Shanghai Fortress", at most the fans of the original book will yell at him, the audience will watch it lively, the crew will get a pile of coins, and investors will take the opportunity to launder their money.

The problem is, he wants face!
……

On February 2, "Alita: Battle Angel" came to China to promote...

A group of people went to worship God.

James Cameron is here!

Shen Changlin also went.

For him, James Cameron is really the god of movies...

He's so legendary - truck driver to movie director!

"Terminator" two, "Alien 2", "True Lies", "Titanic" and "Avatar", the king of the box office and the king of technology!
What Shen Changlin admires most about Cameron lies in his scripts - in terms of story scripts, Cameron's movies tell simple and easy-to-understand stories:

"Titanic" is the love between a poor boy and a rich daughter;

"Terminator" Skynet robot sent killers to travel through time and space to kill the future leader of the rebel army;

"True Lies" an ace agent handles family relations while defeating terrorists;
"Avatar" is simpler, a teammate of the demolition team sympathizes with the local aborigines, and in turn fights against the former teammate...

But he's just captivating!
Shen Changlin learned a lot from Cameron: if you want to shoot a thing well, you just need to grasp the core.

What is the core of a good movie? "

Good and engaging story!

All other forms, soundtracks, special effects, and actors are all in the service of storytelling.

Of course, all this is after watching "Alita: Battle Angel", I have no idea...

Cameron is old!

The original work of "Alita: Battle Angel" "Gunmen", cyberpunk style, mainly tells about the iron city and the unreachable Salem above it. The former is a slum where human lives are worthless; Waiting for the nobles, and the people of the scrap iron city cannot enter Salem anyway, but the Salem people may be exiled to the scrap iron city...

Of course, what it discusses is not the overthrow of Salem in the scrap iron city, but an almost crazy way to interpret all the possibilities that arise after human beings lose their bodies, spinal cords, brains, and even disappear into ashes and only retain their memories...

Quite disappointed, Cameron directly made "Alita" into a popcorn movie...

And it's 'borrowing' from "The Hunger Games"-style popcorn-teenage movies, but the girls keep hacking and fighting monsters to upgrade. In order to match the heroine's cheating, everyone else is a living prop without behavioral logic!

Too disappointed!

The quality of "Alita: Battle Angel" fully conforms to the sentence: the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

Back then, his "Terminator" was a challenger...

A Canadian, with the story of "a robot chasing and killing a woman", traveled thousands of miles to Los Angeles, and almost hit all the south walls of Beverly Hills.

In 1984, the coordinates of Hollywood bigwigs were movies such as "Star Wars", "Batman Returns", "First Blood", and "Rocky". In the flames" picture, "who will watch"?
Then at a cost of 800 million US dollars, it sold 8000 million copies in the United States!
Now that he has achieved fame, he has become a representative of the Hollywood system-not daring to innovate.

So, "Alita" = "The Hunger Games"...

Because "The Hunger Games" was a success~
This model has been tested by the market.

Moreover, the original work of "Gunmeng" is actually not suitable for the tastes of old and American audiences...

It's a pity that so many marketing accounts recommend it-it's too mediocre!

So much so that when the media asked him his opinion, Shen Changlin replied honestly, "It feels a bit like "The Hunger Games"..."

Don't give Cameron face at all!
It was incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene—Amou and Lianhua also came, and shared their feelings after watching the movie. Lianhua said that she liked the strong female characters in the film very much, and Amou also praised his old friends without hesitation. "Looking forward to your next masterpiece."

Next Conversation - Top Directors from China and the U.S. Talking...

Shen Changlin didn't give Cameron any face, and asked directly: "Have you really watched "Gunmeng"? Can you share what is the attraction of "Gunmeng"? Why is it filmed like this?"

　still not in time...
