Rebirth: I Want to Surf

the capital.

In a hotel, a square-headed electrician who doesn't understand science fiction is struggling.

Sitting opposite him was a woman named Song Chunyu. I heard that she was a famous screenwriter, but she didn't have any good works.

Song Chunyu keenly observed the other party's emotions, and further said: "Da Liu, I invite you to meet with great sincerity, I like this work very, very much.

It's big, it's deep, it's provocative, it's new, it's frightening, it's philosophical, it's a shame it's just in words!

It is very suitable for film and television adaptations, Hollywood's sci-fi giants, I can't say that it has much energy, but there are many friends in the circle, I guarantee that I will not let down your hard work. "

She paused, and then said: "How about it, 100,000! If you inquire about it, you will know that there is absolutely no trick in this price."

"100,000……"

Da Liu was secretly moved, but felt that it seemed cheap to agree immediately, and said, "Can I think about it?"

"Of course, I'll come back tomorrow, and I hope you can give me an answer."

Song Chunyu has been immersed in the film and television industry for many years, and seeing his small thoughts, she also gave this face, got up and left.

Da Liu sat alone in the teahouse, drank a sip of tea, and was a little excited. He started working in 1985 and has been working as an engineer in Niangziguan Power Plant.

But this year the power plant was shut down, and the employees were relocated. He was assigned to a new power plant. The workload was too heavy, and he didn't have time to fish... Ahh! No time to write.

He is hesitating whether to quit his job and write full-time.

If you resign, you lose your stable job and money becomes a problem. Although he has won the Galaxy Award and is well-known in the industry, Chinese science fiction is weak and cannot make much money.

That's why he was quite excited about the 100,000 yuan.

On the other hand, my own works can be filmed and my vanity can be satisfied.

Later generations have praised Liu on the altar, and he himself is strict, forgetting that he is actually an ordinary person, such as the well-known incident of "praising yourself with a trumpet".

At this moment, he stayed in the teahouse for a while, and was about to go back to his room when his cell phone rang, an unfamiliar number.

"Hello!"

"Liu Cixin?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"99 Entertainment, Yu Jiajia!"

…………

Big Liu didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, he rushed to the Tuanjiehu building in a hurry.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Yu!"

"Do you have an appointment?"

"some!"

He went upstairs, sat in the reception room and waited, rubbing his palms on his knees and looking around, feeling more excited than yesterday. This is 99 entertainment, Song Chunyu is a big deal!

After waiting for a while, Yu Jiajia came in.

She was just now signing several copyright contracts such as "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals". According to her intention, she could directly buy that literary website called a certain point, but Yao Yuan refused to let her go, and she still said incomprehensible words.

What "can't buy it,"... "Barabara.

"Hello, first time meeting!"

"Hello, I have been admiring you for a long time, I have watched every one of your movies."

"Oh, it's just a coincidence that you happen to be in the capital, otherwise I would like to visit."

Yu Jiajia shook hands with him, but before he got down to business, the other party took the initiative and said, "Actually, I came to Beijing to talk about these things. Do you know a screenwriter named Song Chunyu?"

"I know it!"

"Oh, she wants to buy the copyright of "Three-Body Problem". We just met yesterday."

"puff!"

Yu Jiajia laughed and asked, "How much did she bid?"

Seeing that Liu was a little embarrassed, he waved his hand again and said, "She meant to adapt it for you, right? Then do you know what she wrote?"

"That's not so clear."

""I Must You", a romantic drama! "Meet and Hate", a romantic drama! "Angels Are Not Lonely", a romantic drama! "Can't Lose You", a, uh, family ethics drama! "

"..."

Da Liu's face turned black.

"She also said that she wrote the script herself? Do you know what she can write "Three-Body Problem"? It is probably a love story that can sing and cry. For example, Ye Wenjie fell in love with the Three-Body Problem and lived happily together... ..."

"Please stop talking!"

How could Yu Jiajia let it go, and continued to babble: "And she has a husband who is a director. The two of them have always sold together in a bundle. One writes and the other shoots. Have you heard of her husband?"

"No!"

"That's it, so how can you sell the copyright to her with confidence?"

"..."

Da Liu opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. After being depressed for a long time, he finally went straight to the point and asked the most practical question: "Then how much do you offer?"

"5 million signing fee + follow-up share."

5000000? ? ?

In an instant, he wanted to spray Song Chunyu to death, but that would be a 100,000 buyout! Not a little bit worse.

"Mr. Yu!"

"Hey, I haven't finished yet. What I want is the copyright of all your works such as "The Wandering Earth", "The Chinese Sun", "Ball Lightning", "Three-Body Problem". The time limit is 10 years. We must develop any work within 10 years. In this way, the contract will be automatically extended..."

After Yu Jiajia explained it in detail, Da Liu kept nodding and said directly, "I accept this contract."

"Okay then, come back tomorrow and we'll sign the contract."

The talk is crisp and neat.

Liu walked out of the Tuanjiehu Building in a daze and didn't quite believe it was true.

Two volumes of "Three-Body Problem" have been finished, and "Three-Body Problem 3: Immortal Death" is currently being written. With this money, I can make up my mind to resign.

And in the office.

Yu Jiajia has been very busy recently, and just sent Liu away, and received the complete Chinese script of "Human Purge Project". She scanned it first and sent it to Yao Yuan.

…………

Yao Yuan is fishing for "Cutu".

I read it in my previous life, but I almost forgot the story, so there will be a vague sense of familiarity, almost ten lines at a glance, and the pages are flipped quickly.

"Beep beep!"

The mailbox alert rang, and he went in to receive an attachment, decisively abandoned "Katu", and continued to fish with joy.

When it comes to Hollywood scripts, there is usually a saying that a script needs to be processed by several screenwriters before it can be completed. Then some people subconsciously think that a script needs several people to write together.

Of course not.

Everyone has different writing styles and styles, so how could it be possible to write a script together.

There can only be a big screenwriter who coordinates and assigns work. For example, if you are good at writing jokes, you write a joke, and if you are good at writing scenes, you write a scene.

Then it was put together by the big screenwriter.

Or, if a screenwriter is not satisfied with the company after writing it, it is possible to find another screenwriter to revise, and then find a third or fourth one.

The framework of "Human Purge Project" was proposed by Yao Yuan, and only passed the hands of a screenwriter, and it was completed very quickly.

(besides……)
