What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 191
Although writing a novel is not the same as writing a screenplay, they are both storytelling after all, but there are differences in the way of expression, and there is no insurmountable gap.

And it's not too complicated to learn. Nowadays, many popular serials are scripts adapted by the original authors of the novels. Yang Shu has experienced "Langya Bang" and "The Legend of Miyue".

"The Three-Body Problem" was written by Da Liu, and it is most appropriate for him to adapt the script.

It is so suitable that even if he changes some of the plot, it is still considered original and reflects the intention of the original author. Even the most rigid and dogmatic original party may have nothing to say.

However, if "Three-Body" wants to be filmed, it must be greatly changed.

Yang Shu ordered the acquisition of "Three-Body Problem" between brushing his teeth and washing his face, and then shared his new ideas with Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu during breakfast.

They didn't object, and there seemed to be no reason to object, unless they had a more reasonable suggestion for Yang Shu's next filming.

For the future work plan, Yang Shu has been thinking about it for a while. He doesn't want to be so tiring to create original works, but he can't think of what to copy at the moment.

He still didn't want to make Changjin Lake theme, although what Luo Xue said made sense, he should continue to replicate success according to market demand, just like Zhou Xingxing has been committed to comedy, this is the most reasonable choice.

But he is currently not interested and wants to do something different.

In fact, not only Luo Xue suggested continuing to make war films, Ning Song also said that it is a common practice in the industry to continue shooting after shooting.

Even Jiang Shiyu mentioned that her perspective is different: "For "Warrior", we made [-] sets of costumes and nearly a million props, and now we rent a warehouse to store them. If we can't sell them, we won't use them anymore. That would be wasted."

"Warrior" has a long time span from the anti-Japanese shooting to the anti-American. The Japanese army, the puppet army, the national army, the People's Liberation Army, the volunteer army, the American army and even the British army have all made-to-order clothing. Other crews that are needed, but they are still kept, rented a warehouse in Shunyi for storage.

Even so, Yang Shu didn't want to shoot, he always had a premonition, and then "Warrior" introduced the theme of Changjin Lake, which might not make it to a higher level. No matter who shoots, he doesn't want to see this kind of situation.

The market needs to be diversified, and we cannot go all the way to the dark.

Now he finally has a new goal: "We want to create the best Chinese science fiction film, and "Three-Body Problem" is the best challenge."

Both Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu supported it, but they were also a little strange: "Why do I suddenly want to make "Three-Body Problem"? I haven't mentioned it before."

Yang Shu did not mention it because he didn't remember it.

But just like shooting war themes, he has always had a sci-fi dream. Before writing "Wonderful Events in the World", many stories have sci-fi elements, and "The Beginning" is completely a sci-fi TV series.

But these are small stories, and it is another matter to really make a big movie. Science fiction has always been a niche in Chinese movies, and there are basically no decent science fiction movies.

Two years later, "The Wandering Earth" had a small explosion, but its influence was very limited, and its successor was weak. After that, the science fiction theme fell silent again.

Da Liu readily accepted Yang Shu's invitation: "Okay, it's a great honor to cooperate with Director Yang to make the movie "The Three-Body Problem" impossible."

Yang Shu made a toast to Liu with tea instead of wine: "It's my honor. Over the years, "The Three-Body Problem" has become a film and television project. I thought it would not be my turn, but I didn't expect it to happen after a few years." I have it."

"This is also the best turning point for "The Three-Body Problem". To be honest, I didn't have much expectations at one time. I hope this time I can fulfill my long-cherished wish."

"Three-Body Problem" has been rambling for nine years under the attention of countless book fans and movie fans. Every one or two years, good news comes out, and then the tickets are skipped. It has been done several times, which is really maddening.

However, Da Liu also put forward a condition: "I must actually lead the adaptation of the script and have the absolute right to speak. Any choice, addition, modification, or change of the plot must be approved by me."

After thinking about it, he added: "Of course I will listen to everyone's opinions with an open mind, but the final decision must be mine, otherwise this screenwriter will not be named."

Yang Shu understood what Liu meant. He sold the right to adapt "The Three-Body Problem" and basically had no right to speak these years. This time, he adapted "Country Teacher" into "Crazy Alien", which is simply a sci-fi joke. He was the first to sell comedy dog ​​meat, but he got hung up as the first screenwriter, so the mood can be imagined.

"No problem," Yang Shu readily agreed, ""The Three-Body Problem" is going to be adapted into a movie, and the plot may have to be greatly adjusted. Any changes will definitely be discussed with you, and you will make the final decision."

Anyone who has read "The Three-Body Problem" will understand that this novel is very difficult to adapt. The first two works are easy to handle, and the plot is not so dark. It is also likely to be scolded for being unfinished.

This is also the reason why Yang Shu would rather bind himself and ask Liu to host the adaptation. Ten years have passed, and I believe he has new thinking on this work, and only after he changes it can he have the spirit of the original work.

The two chatted speculatively and had dinner together until after nine o'clock in the evening.

In the end, it was agreed that as soon as Liu's work in "Crazy Alien" was over, he would immediately start the adaptation of "Three-Body Problem", and the time would be around the end of October.

Liu Man has always been with her. In fact, she is more related to science fiction. The director's first micro-movie "Lovers at the Table" is science fiction, and the first series "The Beginning" independently directed is also science fiction.

When chatting with the sci-fi master, I have to mention her upcoming new web drama.

Da Liu may not like this kind of simple time loop plot, but he is very supportive: "Compared with Europe and the United States, our sci-fi film and television works are too few, it is time to cultivate the soil of sci-fi, you can make such online dramas , is a good start in itself.”

Myths are born of natural thinking, fantasy and fantasy are cultivated by agricultural thinking, and science fiction must come from industrial thinking, which is also a matter of development stage.

In 2010, China's industrial output value surpassed that of the United States to become the world's largest industrial country. The soil is slowly accumulating, and perhaps from a certain moment, science fiction works will explode.

"We completed the production of this drama at the end of June. There are 6 episodes of 15 minutes each. We will send it to each platform for review and approval. It has been confirmed that it will be broadcast at 45:11 on November 11."

This time is determined by the platform, and it happens to be double 11 on weekends. In addition to the sleepless nights during the shopping festival, the string of 1 also has the meaning of a cycle.

"The Beginning" is the beginning of science fiction for web dramas, and its success undoubtedly has a demonstration effect.

Da Liu is a real person. As a leading figure in science fiction, I am afraid that he has often stood up for others over the years. Hearing Liu Man's implication, he did not refuse at all: "You can show me the samples later. It is my responsibility to promote excellent science fiction works."

But the implication is also very clear, if the work is excellent, help promote it, if it doesn't work, don't bother me.

The matter of "Three-Body Problem" is basically decided in this way, and the preparatory work will start a month later, and "Warrior" will almost be released by then.

The upper part of "Warrior" accompanied the lower part, and it was released on September 9. The final box office was 22 billion, ranking third in the box office of film history, and the ranking should be maintained for several years.

《战士》下部在9月30号上映满一个月，票房55.16亿，与56.64亿的《战狼2》一步之遥。

However, "Wolf Warrior 2" has been released for more than two months, and it will be released in half a month, and the second part of "Warrior" will be released for at least one and a half months.

The second part of "Warrior" was screened for 30 days, and won the daily champion, the second-day champion in average per game, the second-day champion in total audience, and the daily champion in filming for 30 consecutive days. Height, now waiting to win the box office championship.

This is another win for Poplar, because the upper part has already been won once.

It can be regarded as a miracle in film history to win the championship twice with one film.

Brother Chao called and sighed: "Fortunately, you divided "Warrior" into two movies, otherwise "Warrior" broke all the box office records from 40 billion to 100 billion, and others will not be able to mix it up. "

Poplar undoubtedly changed the film history of this world. In fact, the butterfly effect is everywhere, and the changes he caused are far greater than these.
