After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 318 The Ninth District

Chen Tianhong didn't really want to drink some fine wine, he wanted to settle this matter early, and then end the banquet. It's almost time, and it's time to go back to the hotel to get down to business.

Tang Xianjun didn't expect Chen Tianhong to be so straightforward, and he wanted to be more tactful.

Looking at Liu Jianjun at the side, seeing this old friend nodding towards him, Tang Xianjun finally made up his mind.

"Mr. Chen, I came to see you today. Actually, I have a request. I request you not to hand over the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" to foreign directors. I know this request is a bit excessive. The copyright belongs to you. Who will it be? Shooting is your freedom."

"But Mr. Chen! Since you can justify the name of our Chinese science fiction novels, why can't you give our domestic science fiction movies another hope? Then, Mr. Chen, I really beg you to think carefully about it!"

As Tang Xianjun talked, his expression became excited, and finally his excited eyes turned red, and he looked straight at Chen Tianhong, for fear that he would reject him.

"Tianhong, in fact, in recent years, the special effects technology of our domestic sci-fi movies has caught up with those in Western countries. Even if it is not as good as Bollywood, it is not far behind. We were not as good as them before. The biggest reason is the lack of scripts. The design and the acting skills of the actors."

"And now with your "Three-Body Problem", I think we can make up for it. As for the actors' acting skills, don't worry about it. There are many excellent actors in the entertainment industry. Director Tang will definitely do his best to make a good film. You don't have to worry about it." will ruin The Three-Body Problem,”

Liu Jianjun also put away his smile at this moment, and began to help Tang Xianjun speak.

"Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about the investment. If you are willing to put "Three-Body Problem" in our company, the investment will not be less than [-] million yuan, and this is only the budget for the first part. The company has already made a budget plan." Well, Mr. Miao has already agreed, and said that if it’s not enough, we can add more.”

Guo Yongwen also said aloud that he participated in the company's resolution.

After the three of them spoke, the atmosphere of laughter and laughter on the wine table froze instantly.

Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Tianhong, even Liu Yifei at the side felt the tension of everyone, she quietly moved her body to lean on Chen Tianhong.

And Chen Tianhong didn't know whether he was thinking or he was in a dilemma, he didn't speak for a long time.

As time ticked by, every minute and every second was tormenting Tang Xianjun's heart.

Maybe it was because he was getting old, or maybe he couldn't see hope, but finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and slumped down on the chair in frustration.

"Forget it, forget it, I was the one who was abrupt! Hehe, Mr. Chen doesn't blame you. I understand your worry. We are so useless! So far, no sci-fi film has ever won an international award, not even a Golden Caesars finalist." None of the

The Golden Caesar Award is an award established by the International Film and Television Federation. It is the most authoritative and professional film award in the world, and it is also the most influential film award in the world.

Tang Xianjun's words also made everyone present feel heavy. In fact, it's not just science fiction movies!Other types of movies are not the same, and none of them has won the Golden Caesar statuette.

Even if the movie they bring back is not from the mainland, it is Xiangdao. Although they belong to the same country, the directors from the mainland are always unwilling!
"No, I have a question! Where did you hear that I would hand over the film and television adaptation rights of "Three-Body Problem" to foreign directors?"

Chen Tianhong finally spoke. He couldn't hold back for a long time. The reason why he didn't speak just now was to see everyone's reaction, and he was also curious about why everyone thought so.

"Mr. Chen, don't hide it. Didn't you agree to the president of the United States? We've seen the news."

Tang Xianjun said bitterly.

In fact, he didn't shoot nearby, but in another city. When he talked with Liu Jianjun at noon, he learned that Chen Tianhong was visiting the class, so he made a special trip to participate in this bureau, with the purpose of persuading Chen Tianhong.

"What did I promise him? I don't remember telling him this? News? What news?"

Chen Tianhong is the fruit on the tree, and under the tree. Uh. Only me!
"News from the United States! Just the day before yesterday, President Besley of the United States talked about aliens in a public speech, and specifically mentioned your "Three-Body Problem". He said that he had communicated with you. Said that you already have a plan to put "The Three-Body Problem" on the screen, and you will give priority to the Bollywood filming team, alas"

Seeing that Chen Tianhong was still playing dumb, Tang Xianjun heaved a long sigh.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it's a fact that the current domestic film teams are not as good as Bollywood. Chen Tianhong doesn't want to ruin his own classic novels. He can understand it, but he just doesn't want to be reconciled.

"Damn, when did I say that Besley is too good at taking things out of context! Sure enough, Americans are all "actors". It's really fucking amazing."

Chen Tianhong uttered a foul language directly, seeing the strange eyes of everyone, he hurriedly explained.

"That's right, he did call me some time ago, but it was to urge me to write the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem". During the period, he also chatted a few words about the film adaptation of "Three-Body Problem". At that time, he kept recommending them to me. The national Bollywood team also said that they would help me find a good director, but I didn't directly refuse out of politeness, saying that I would consider it, but I didn't say anything about priority!"

"Hammer first! I never thought about letting them do the filming. We in China. Heck, of course we have to shoot our Chinese science fiction. "

As he talked, Chen Tianhong became very angry, and even baldly said the name of the country in his previous life. Besley was destroying his "reputation" and damaging his good image as a patriotic young man.

Chen Tianhong's words and gestures caused everyone at the wine table to look at each other. Only Tang Xianjun stood up excitedly and asked expectantly.

"Mr. Chen, do you mean that you are willing to shoot "Three-Body" in China?"

"Of course! Why, Director Tang, do you still doubt me?"

"Don't doubt, don't doubt, hehe! Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will do my best, and I will never let down your trust. I will definitely shoot "Three-Body" well, and I will go back tonight to form a team."

Now Tang Xianjun was happy, and immediately turned into a "good student" who promised the teacher.

"Wait, Director Tang, don't be in such a hurry, "Three-Body Problem" will be filmed later."

Chen Tianhong patted his forehead. He planned to have "The Three-Body Problem" filmed by a domestic director, but he definitely would not make it so hastily. Even if Tang Xianjun is one of the best sci-fi directors in China, he still needs to investigate. .

Because Chen Tianhong had high expectations for the movie version of "Three-Body Problem", he didn't want to ruin the classic in his mind.

In addition, "Three-Body Problem" was very difficult to shoot because of its grand world view. In the previous life, it was stagnant due to technical reasons. Although the special effects technology in this world is better than that in the previous life, it is not much better. It is necessary to be cautious.

"Oh, Mr. Chen still has to wait! When will we wait?"

Tang Xianjun was in a hurry, his mood was very urgent.

"Director Tang, sit down, sit down."

Liu Jianjun saw Chen Tianhong's concerns, and he gave Tang Xianjun a wink, telling him to stay calm and not to be impatient, this matter should not be rushed.

"Tianhong, do you have any ideas to talk about!"

Hearing this, Chen Tianhong thought for a while, but didn't answer, and asked Tang Xianjun instead.

"Director Tang, I just heard you say that Besley mentioned aliens again in his speech? How did he say it?"

"It's still the same as before! It's a metaphor inside and outside the words. If he is re-elected in the next general election, he will apply for the removal of the files related to aliens in the presidential ban, and promise that if it can be lifted, he will first disclose Area 81. The most famous "Roswell UFO crash".

Tang Xianjun didn't understand why Chen Tianhong asked such a question, but he answered truthfully.

"Hehe. Area 81, the Roswell flying saucer crash incident, come and go without indecent assault!"

Chen Tianhong suddenly smiled, the smile was very strange.

Only Liu Yifei understood what her boyfriend's smile meant, it was a smile he was about to play tricks on, and Chen Tianhong laughed like this when they were exercising on the bed.

"Director Tang, I have another script for a sci-fi movie in my hand. I wrote it some time ago when I had nothing to do. I wonder if you are interested in taking it?"

"Another sci-fi movie script? Mr. Chen, is it "Country Teacher" or "The Wandering Earth"? Of course I'm interested!"

Tang Xianjun was a little depressed because Chen Tianhong didn't agree to let him shoot "The Three-Body Problem", but he was also very happy to be able to take over one of these two novels.

"No, it's something else, it has nothing to do with the novel."

"Oh, that's right! That's fine too!"

Tang Xianjun reluctantly agreed. To be honest, apart from these three science fiction novels, the anticipation for other scripts is not so strong.

After all, in his opinion, Chen Tianhong is just a writer, not a screenwriter with a professional background. Besides, he still has an unfinished sci-fi movie in his hand.

"Hehe, Director Tang, you don't know that the scripts written by Tianhong are as wonderful as the novels he wrote. Many of the "Dragon Babu" I am shooting now are based on his suggestions."

Liu Jianjun nodded his old friend.

"Well, then I'll have to wait and see, Mr. Chen, why don't you tell me now, let us listen to the story told by your script?"

Tang Xianjun's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

"Yes! We are also very curious, Mr. Chen, just tell me!"

"That's right! I think the script written by Mr. Chen must be wonderful."

Others at the table also began to echo.

Seeing this, Chen Tianhong didn't refuse either. In fact, he didn't write the script, it was just thought of.

The reason is very simple, since you, Besley, took it out of context, then I will reflect it a little bit to match your performance, which is not too much!
Also, use this movie to test whether Tang Xianjun has the ability to make "The Three-Body Problem" well!
"The theme of this script is about aliens. The general setting is that in the twentieth century a huge alien spaceship came to Wenxing. People were anxious but full of curiosity. After boarding the spaceship, they discovered that everything Thousands of extraterrestrials, this is a group of refugees from extraterrestrials, they came to earth not to invade and marry, but to seek asylum, on humanitarian grounds, aliens are accepted these days”

Chen Tianhong began to slowly tell the story in the script.

At first Tang Xianjun listened with a calm expression, but after a few minutes his expression became playful.

According to what Chen Tianhong said, although alien refugees were accepted, their ability to reproduce is too strong. After 20 years of reproduction, their number has threatened the survival of human beings, so the government entrusted a company called MUN to convert alien refugees People were deported and quarantined to a temporary shelter and named District Nine!

District 81, District 81, Jiujiu [-], everyone at the table was like Tang Xianjun, with playful faces.

Area 81 is a special quarantine area in the United States, which is famous for various UFO conspiracy theories.

Obviously, Chen Tianhong wanted to use this film to map Area 81 in the United States.

Continuing to listen, everyone's expressions began to change from playful to dignified, and even pity.

These extraterrestrial refugees are called "prawns" insultingly, and their lives in District [-] are full of violence, crime, poverty, and hunger. They have to survive by picking up garbage, selling weapons, and robbery. born.

Until he heard that the male protagonist carried out the company’s decision, but was infected during the search for aliens and was about to mutate into an alien. The company’s top management not only failed to help him, but tried to dissect the protagonist’s body alive in order to gain control The method of alien weapons.

Even his father-in-law didn't care about his life for profit, and in the laboratory, the protagonist saw the aliens he had captured before being used for experiments.
Everyone suddenly remembered some plots in the novel "The Three-Body Problem". There were also collapses of human characters, which also showed the greed and indifference of human nature.
Then, in order to survive, the protagonist had to escape to the ninth district, and learned about the treatment method from an alien "professor", but he became the key to unlocking the secrets of alien weapon technology, and was wanted by the whole world, even his family members. no longer accept him
In the end, the protagonist thought he would die under the guns of human mercenaries, but he was saved by the alien "prawns" whom he despised.

And the alien "professor" even made a three-year agreement after boarding the spaceship, saying that he would come back, bring medicine to treat him, and restore him to his human body.

When I heard this, the room sighed one after another. Compared with the selfishness and greed of human beings, the aliens in the script understand emotions better than humans. This is the tragedy of human beings and the greatest irony to human beings.

"Finally! The picture I imagined should be that the protagonist's wife received a bouquet of metal flowers. In District [-], an alien "prawn" is folding metal flowers. He is the completely alienated protagonist, and his heart is still the same. It's human, who hasn't given up hope yet, waiting for that three-year promise."

Chen Tianhong said he was thirsty, so he picked up the tea on the table and took a big sip. When he looked up, he found that everyone was looking at him.

"what happened?"

"Keep talking! Has the protagonist been waiting? Has the alien "professor" come back after three years?"

Someone asked eagerly.

"That's the end of the script. I haven't figured out the follow-up story yet. That's the story of "The Tenth District" in the future. Director Tang, do you think my script is okay?"

When Chen Tianhong talked about "The Tenth District", he paused for a moment because he was complaining in his heart.

The story of the tenth district is impossible, let alone you, I really want to know, the director in the previous life said three years, how many three years have passed, and it is still far away.

"Good! Good script! We often say that art comes from life, and it must be an allusion to some social phenomena. Mr. Chen's "The Ninth District" is exactly this kind of art. It is not only a script for a science fiction movie, It's more like a script that reflects on the ethics and morals of human beings, Mr. Chen, thank you, thank you for choosing me to shoot this film."

Tang Xianjun no longer looked down upon him just now, he walked up to Chen Tianhong with a grateful face, and held Chen Tianhong's hands deeply.

"Hehe, Director Tang, this movie is going to be filmed well, as soon as possible, I want to see it before winter arrives, as for the investment, I'll call Brother Miao later, and Producer Guo, prepare to do it too."

The smile on Chen Tianhong's face remained undiminished. At the end of this summer, he wanted to use this movie to let Bollywood in the world know what shame is, and let Besley understand that it is best not to rub his enthusiasm in the future.

ps: This movie is really hard to understand. I have watched a lot of sci-fi movies, and I can’t forget "The Ninth District". I waited for three years and three years, you know how I got here without waiting for the end for so many years!
