Chapter 3 Boring Activities

Anyone interested in science fiction will want to try The Three-Body Problem…

Shen Changlin is no exception!

In the original time and space, the "Three-Body" movie project failed...

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

Zhang Fanfan bought the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", but the copyright was taken back because the filming had not started before the expiration date. He also renewed the contract, and until the renewal was completed, "The Three-Body Problem" had not yet nominated a Hugo...

Other domestic film and television companies are too slow to catch on!

Liu actually doesn't care what kind of film it can be. The key is that someone is willing to lead the domestic film industry from 0 to 1, so a little-known director can buy a movie adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" with 100,000 yuan.

right.

Although Zhang Fanfan has obtained the rights to film and television adaptations, he has no connections, no resources, and no film company is willing to invest in the film. He wants to be the chief director. For such a big project, with an investment of hundreds of millions, how much money would a film and television company dare to give him?

100 million to play tickets?

So I found Kong Ergou!

Kong Ergou was at Youzu. Youzu had always been making games. Suddenly he discovered that this person had a big IP, so he took advantage of the situation and started a film and television company. Youzu Pictures was established, and the first project was the Three-Body Problem.

The previews and publicity are actually all about using this project to defraud financing, make money, and build the company's reputation.

Later, they simply said that it was suspended indefinitely due to force majeure, and they just held on to the copyright. Didn't you say that if the filming started within a time limit, the copyright would be taken back? But we filmed it, and the release was just postponed due to force majeure.

When one day I think it's okay and the market matures, I can take it out and promote it again, euphemistically calling it a restart of the project, attract investment, find partners, and make another fortune. The abacus is very precise, "Three

Body》The longer this IP is covered, the more valuable it becomes!

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

Regarding the "Three-Body" movie, Shen Changlin does not have a complete shooting plan...

If it really needs to be filmed, so much content can only be created in the manner of the Marvel Universe: "Luo Ji: Facing the Wall", "Zhang Beihai: Support the Future", "Luo Ji: Spell", "Zhang Beihai: Advance 4", "Cheng Beihai"

"Heart: Ladder", "Dark Forest·Deterrence", "Cheng Xin: Holding the Sword", "Guan Yifan: Gravity", "Yun Tianming's Fairy Tale", "Cheng Xin: Battle of Star Ring City", "Death Eternal"...

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

Now that you have almost accumulated the materials, you should be able to challenge "The Three-Body Problem"!

At that time, he was almost 40 years old!

This is what he planned, but netizens are very anxious. If you go to Station B, there will be a bunch of clips from "The Three-Body Problem"...

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

If Shen Changlin was shameless and made a movie like "Shanghai Fortress", the most he would do would be Yuan Fan yelling and swearing, the audience would enjoy it, the crew would get a lot of money, and the investors would take the opportunity to launder their money.

The problem is, he wants face!



On February 21st, "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!

Two "Terminator" movies, "Alien 2", "True Lies", "Titanic" and "Avatar" are the king of box office and the king of technology!

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]

What Shen Changlin admires most about Cameron is his scripts - in terms of story scripts, Cameron's movies all tell simple and easy-to-understand stories:

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

"The Terminator" Skynet robots send killers through time and space to kill future resistance leaders;

In "True Lies," a kingpin manages family relationships while defeating terrorists;

"Avatar" is simpler. A teammate of a demolition team sympathizes with the local indigenous people and turns against his former teammates...

But he is fascinating!

Shen Changlin learned a lot from Cameron: If you want to shoot something well, you just need to grasp the core.

What is the core of a good movie?”

A fascinating story!

All other forms, including the soundtrack, special effects, and actors, serve the purpose of telling the story.

Of course, all this was after watching "Alita: Battle Angel" and I ran out of ideas...

Cameron is old!

The original work of "Alita: Battle Angel" is "Gunmen", with a cyberpunk style. It mainly tells the story of Scrap Iron City and the unreachable Salem above it. The former is a slum where human life is like grass; the latter is both

The upper class nobles and people from Scrap Iron City cannot enter Salem under any circumstances, but the people of Salem may be exiled to Scrap Iron City...

Of course, what it explores is not the overthrow of Salem in Scrap Iron City, but an almost crazy interpretation of all the possibilities that will arise after humans lose their bodies, spines, brains, and even disappear into ashes, leaving only memories...

It's quite disappointing that Cameron directly made "Alita" into a popcorn movie...

Moreover, it is a popcorn movie based on "The Hunger Games" - a teen movie, but the girl keeps cheating and defeating monsters to upgrade. In order to cooperate with the heroine's cheating, everyone else is a living prop with no behavioral logic!

So disappointed!

The quality of "Alita: Battle Angel" completely fits the saying: Dragon slayers will eventually become evil dragons.

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

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

In 1984, the coordinates of Hollywood bosses were movies such as "Star Wars", "Batman Returns", "First Blood", and "Rocky". As for the "metal skeleton" that Cameron wanted to shoot,

"Appearing in flames" scene, "who will see it"?

Then it sold for 80 million dollars across the United States at a cost of 8 million U.S. dollars!

Now that he is successful and famous, he has become a representative of the Hollywood system - one who dares not innovate.

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

Because "The Hunger Games" is a success~

This model has been tested by the market.

Moreover, the original work of "A Dream of Guns" 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 just too mediocre!

So much so that when the media asked him what he thought, Shen Changlin answered honestly, "It feels a bit like "The Hunger Games"..."

No face to Cameron at all!

It was incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene - Ah Mou and Lotus also came and shared their feelings after watching the movie. Lotus said that she liked the strong female characters in the film very much. Ah Mou also did not hesitate to praise his old friend and said

"Looking forward to your next masterpiece."

The following conversation - top directors from China and the United States talk...

Shen Changlin didn't give Cameron any face, and asked directly: "Have you really seen "A Dream of Guns"? Can you share what's so attractive about "A Dream of Guns"? Why was it filmed like this?
Chapter completed!
