Chapter 450 Just chat for a while
Originally "Story of Your Life" was used as a backup plan if "La La Land" failed, but it is obviously not needed at this moment.

The adaptation of this story naturally fell on Guo Fan. Apart from him, the only other person left in the company was Guo Fan, a science fiction film director.

"I found something for you, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Li Mu smiled and said to Guo Fan, who looked a little excited on the phone.

"Director Li, new movie? Or are you planning to start a new science fiction movie? It's okay if I help you."

Guo Fan also talked about some of his recent affairs, "I've been so idle lately. I've read countless science fiction novels."

Guo Fan has been studying science fiction novels when he has nothing to do, but there are very few that are suitable for adaptation, not to mention that there are not many people writing domestic science fiction novels themselves.

He sometimes has to read foreign science fiction novels.

"new movie."

Li Mu's words made Guo Fan completely excited.

"Seen."

"Okay, come here tomorrow and you'll find out. I originally planned to use the foreign novel film and television adaptation rights I just won, but unfortunately, I can't use them."

Guo Fan's intention is still unfinished.

Li Mu suggested that "The Story of Your Life" is not hard science fiction in Li Mu's eyes. Although special effects are required when it comes to spaceships and aliens, the plot is more like a journey of exploration of aliens.

"Won't you know when tomorrow comes?"

"How's it going? Have you seen it?"

But the front of this book just went up.

"Let's go and have dinner together."

Naturally, Guo Fan would not refuse. Although it is not a hard science fiction film, this movie has a heavy science fiction component.
"Okay, the first prerequisite for making a science fiction film is to make the entire setting convincing. The book has been well written in this regard. Try not to change certain settings. The script should focus on constructing the third kind of contact. dialogue system, it almost takes up the whole page.”

"You can try it."

Because Guo Fan had already read the book, it was naturally much smoother for Li Mu to talk.

"The Story of Your Life?"

Guo Fan saw the name on the cover of the book handed over by Li Mu and murmured to himself.

Guo Fan nodded, and then talked about some of his understanding of the novel's adaptation.

"I'm really curious, which book has Director Li chosen?"

A question was once circulated on the Internet: "If Liu Cixin and Ted Jiang fell into the water at the same time, who should be saved? The result was a tie between the two. It can be seen that the world does not only know "The Three-Body Problem"!
When most authors write alien-themed science fiction, they always cleverly avoid key points. When humans encounter aliens, the first hurdle is the language barrier.

Li Muchundao and Guo Fan discussed some issues that need to be paid attention to in the adaptation of this novel.

"sci-fi movie?"

Li Mu also seemed a little scared. He might have to eat until the evening.

"Director Li, no, I just like to make science fiction movies. I don't understand pure love movies."

At this moment, Guo Fan really wanted to know which science fiction novel Li Mu had chosen. After all, Li Mu himself had said that he planned to shoot it himself, so it would definitely not be too bad.

Li Mu did not continue to joke with Guo Fan and said without any concealment.

"Come on, go and eat by yourself, I'll go back and eat."

And the author of the book is really well-known in the science fiction world.

The two of them discussed it and unknowingly missed lunch on time. It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that they felt something in their stomachs.

"Is "Passengers" an accident, or can it be made clear by adding a little romance to a science fiction film?"

The next day, Mengying Media.

It does not set the two parties to start communicating directly, but sets the key point as language. It can be said that he created a whole set of alien language system, and the spoken language and written language are different, and the cause and effect of human language is opposite. .
"How about you adapt this novel?"

“However, all these additions serve to subtract the mother-daughter line and give the audience reverie about the future.
In fact, the movie is a thesis. The argument is that language can affect cognition. The argument is all the plots of the film: all non-linear time, aliens, etc. are just examples. "

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny.

"the latter."

After all, this book won two awards, the Nebula Award and the Sturgeon Award.

Li Mu was not surprised that Guo Fan had read this novel.

"Okay, Director Li, you can continue talking during dinner."

Li Mu joked.

Other authors will slyly brush it off.

"."

"Is it possible that you can still make romance movies? If you can, I can also find a good script for you."

"Director Li, please."

Guo Fan nodded, "This novel is easier to read, but the research may not be as in-depth as Director Li."

Li Mu looked at the time and couldn't help but laugh. No wonder his stomach started to growl.

Guo Fan seemed very proud.

"Is this a question of who asked for it?"

Li Mu said angrily, but he didn't refuse, "Then let's chat for a while during dinner."

"OK!!!"

"."

Although summer has not arrived in the imperial capital at the end of April, it seems to have a hint of flavor occasionally. The street lights at night also attract flying insects, and the traffic on the road seems to tell people about the prosperity of this city.

"Amu, why haven't you come back yet? Is there a traffic jam?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused. Usually she was stuck in traffic until seven or eight o'clock at most, but now it's past nine o'clock and she still hasn't gone home.

I sent a few messages, and they were all fast every time.

"Don't mention it, I was fooled by that boy Guo Fan today."

If Li Mu hadn't wanted to cover his forehead and smile bitterly while driving, he shouldn't have gone to dinner with Guo Fan, eating a dish and chatting for a long time.

The key is that once Guo Fan opens his mouth, he feels like he can't stop.

The conversation skills were one after another. We agreed to chat for a while, but ended up chatting for a while about the last dish. The key is that this guy ordered a lot.

"goose"

Liu Yifei couldn't stop laughing when she heard Li Mu talking about today's experience on the phone.

"By the way, you are not disliked by the hotel owner, right?"

"What do you dislike? One meal is worth two meals. It's too late for the boss to be happy."

"Well, doesn't that mean you haven't finished eating yet?"

"You only have ghosts after eating." Li Mu complained, and then said with a bit of evil, "Anyway, Guo Fan can eat the leftovers for two or three days. I have to ask him if he has finished eating another day."

"."

April is coming to an end, and the burden of "catalyzing the market" has been handed over to May, the month of "land acquisition in the summer season."

In the first quarter of 2014, neither domestic films nor imported films succeeded in arousing the public's movie-watching emotions and consumption desires, and there was not a single phenomenal film worthy of word of mouth.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been only a handful of imported films that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.

"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" released in February and the still-hit "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" can be considered one of them.

However, looking at the entire month of May, the market still has only superhero movies that audiences are obviously tired of, such as "The Amazing Spider-Man 5" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and there are no new genre films or even art-oriented films entering the market. .

So naturally what everyone is looking forward to is Zhang Yi's new film "Return".

"Return", which will be released in mid-May, has not only invited big names in acting such as Chen Daoming and Gong Li to join the cast, but also has hot topics such as the new "Mou Girl" for citizens to talk about, and the golden sign of "Zhang Yimou" is fluttering in the wind. It is not an exaggeration to call it the biggest highlight of domestic films in May.

Although it will not be released during the May Day period, it still ranks at the top of the May movie expectations list.

In other words, whether Zhang Yimou, who has "returned" with a sincere new work, can use actual results to prove that he still has energy and that the audience still has aesthetic appreciation, may become the biggest highlight of the mainland film market in May.

As for Mengying Media's "Heart Blossoms", it has finally confirmed its schedule, and it is scheduled to be released on September 2014, 9, during this year's National Day prime time period.

As soon as the news came out, many netizens were looking forward to it, and the number of comments on the film's official Weibo surged.

"Ning Hao's comedy. I haven't watched Ning Hao's comedy for a long time. I seem to be looking forward to it."

"Li Mu's movies are out of stock this year, but Ning Hao's movies are okay too. The quality of Mengying Media's movies is always good!"

"I hope it can give me some surprises. I like funny comedies. Just have more funny elements."

As for Ning Haozheng's press conference, it was also held in the imperial capital the day after the news broke.

"Do you want to accompany me to the scheduled press conference of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" tomorrow?"

Li Mu asked specifically.

"I won't go. It's not an important matter."

Liu Yifei was chewing an apple in one hand, with a cat lying in her arms, and the script of "La La Land" in one hand, and said casually.

"Row."

Li Mu didn't pay attention. It was really not a big deal. If Ning Hao hadn't planned it, this press conference probably wouldn't have happened.

But now it is equivalent to advance publicity.

"By the way, let's go to my mom's place for dinner tomorrow night."

Liu Yifei suddenly remembered, quickly raised her head, and gave instructions to Li Mu.

"okay."

Li Mu nodded.

If you don't have to do it yourself, you can have food, which is a dream.

We were really tired of the food outside, so we hired a specialized chef. The two of us were not used to it, so we had to make do with it.

The next day, at the press conference, Ning Hao, Xu Zhuo, and Huang Bo were already standing on the stage to be interviewed by media reporters.

As for Li Mu, he naturally sat in the audience.

However, the reporters did not let Li Mu off for this reason.

"Director Li, Director Li, can you tell us what story "Heart Blossoms Are Free" tells?"

"I said, the director is right there. If you don't ask him, why don't you ask me?"

Li Mu pointed at Ning Hao on the stage.

"Director Ning said it was a pink story. As for the pink color, let us guess ourselves."

Reporters complained, you don’t even tell this fan story, no matter how many fans you have.

"...It's a bit of a trap." Li Mu nodded and sympathized with them, "Hey, Director Ning on the stage, can I talk to you?"

"Hey, it's okay. Director Li in the audience, just say it at your convenience."

Ning Hao held the microphone and spoke very loudly.

On the contrary, people present laughed loudly.
