Based on its characteristics, literary works that can be adapted into movies generally have several elements.

1. The plot is greater than the psychology, and the objective atmosphere is greater than the subjective understanding. Simply put, it is the most basic highlight. If a novel with too strong ideological nature is full of the protagonist's views on things and the world throughout the book, it will be very uncomfortable to adapt it into a movie.

2. The scenes and characters are very attractive. This point is very easy to illustrate with an example. Taking the two Chinese writers, Lao She and Lu Xun, as examples, you can feel it.

Lao She's books are delicate and entangled, and have some connections and contradictions between them, and the scenes are relatively rich. Although they also have a strong realistic and literary color, they still cannot erase their rich personalities. The works of "Camel Xiangzi" and "Four Generations in the Family" have also been adapted into TV works one after another.

Although Lu Xun's literary attainments are not inferior to Lao She, the scenes in his book are extremely limited. Although the characters' tension exists, most of them are very similar. Not to mention the numb Runtu, even if he leaves a deep impression on everyone, Ah Q is just a unique individual and cannot build a movie through a character. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun's works are rarely brought to the screen.

3. Restore difficulty. This is a factor that depends on real film technology. The live-action version of "Transformers" is the best example. This animation has been popular for decades, but no one has the ability to make it into a movie. It can only be achieved until the technology matures in the 21st century. Of course, there are also some technical factors, such as the Bible...

On these three points, Battle

Royale is absolutely satisfied. The battle between 42 students has absolutely enough movie selling points in terms of both visual and plot, and the scene is even more accessible, and there is no difficulty in restoring it.

Ouyang Nuo has forgotten "Battle"

When the premiere of Royale took place, he didn't know whether the film was going to start filming now, but since the book was placed on his own desk, it proved that all this had not happened yet.

Whenever Ouyang Nuo thinks of excellent works, he will try his best to find the main creators of the work to earn less, so that he can own the work without stealing other people's jobs, and he feels more at ease.

But he had no impression of the director and screenwriter of this work, and he had no idea how to start now.

Fortunately, one of the leading actors of this drama is Takeshi Kitano. Ouyang Nuo is now a bit of a friendship with him, so it should be reasonable to ask him to make a few words.

So, Ouyang Nuo couldn't wait to ask Shendou Kitano to help contact Kitano Take. After Kitano Take nodded, Shendou Kitano gave Kitano Take's private phone number to Ouyang Nuo.

"Teacher Kitano, I'm Ouyang Nuo." Even Ouyang Nuo must be respectful when talking to Take Kitano.

"The gods have already said hello just now. Is there anything wrong?" Kitano Takeshi was not very polite or arrogant, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"This... have you had time recently? AM really wants to have a show with you?" Ouyang Nuo planned to find out the news first under the name of a show.

"Sorry, I'm preparing for a drama recently and can't take on other jobs for the time being."

Ouyang Nuo didn’t know how to ask Kitano Takeshi’s “Battle Royale” directly, so he had to ask in disguise: “I heard that you are an actor recently, not a director?”

A brief surprise sound came from the other end of the phone: "Do you know this? The filming has not started yet. At the beginning, the producer did plan to let me direct, but I prefer one of the characters in it. Then I recommended Mr. Fukasaru Kinji. In the end, the crew decided to let him direct, and I just played a role in the play."

Ouyang Nuo cursed in his heart. Although there are many films starring Takekikitano, most of them are directed and acted by themselves. There are only a handful of cases of starring in other films like this. It is still too late to start by himself and has been taken first.

But he still didn't give up and asked with a tough head, "Is it the movie adapted from "BattleRoyale"? Unfortunately, I'm very interested..."

But Take Kitano on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited: "Is that right? The crew's main creators joined the guild some time ago, and the production company had to re-select people. Now the crew is in a paralysis stage. The original producer is also considering termination of contracts with the crew and looking for the main creator again, but Teacher Shenzuo did not compromise. If I quit the crew, he would not plan to continue shooting, so now this matter is dragged on. If you intervene, there may be hope."

Ouyang Nuo's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Is that true? AM's respect for the main creators and actors is well known in the industry. If he can get the right to shoot this drama, he will never touch the crew alone!"

Takeshi Kitano thought for a while and said, "I understand what you mean. After all, you are a partner of the guild. I believe you... In this way, I will contact the producers and ask them if they have the intention to sell the copyright."

"Thank you, Mr. Kitano! But our company has limited working capital now, I hope they don't speak up."

"This is not my business, please wait for the news."

"OK."

After putting down the phone, Ouyang Nuo was filled with emotion. This is fate.

If an employee had not handed over the book, he might have never thought of "Battle Royale". If he had not participated in the reorganization of the guild and had a relationship with Takera Kitano, he would have not received any news about this drama.

He has invisibly changed the development trajectory of history. What impact will this matter have in the end? Ouyang Nuo didn't care. He had long imagined this place as a brand new world. He would strive for works that could be accurate. It doesn't matter if he couldn't win. The company's creative strength is rapidly improving. He believes that it will not take long to produce completely original works that have nothing to do with his previous life.

The next day, Takeshi Kitano called back, with good news and bad news.

The good news is that Toei Co., Ltd., the production company of "Battle Royale", is willing to sell the film production rights of this drama. Obviously, they have given up on the drama. The production team has been in a mess. They have spent a lot of money. Now in this situation, they can't make any decent works.

The bad news is that the original director of the drama, the 70-year-old Kinji Fukasaku, was suddenly ill due to his worries during this period and is now hospitalized. It is probably unlikely that he would have to work in the near future.

No matter what, Ouyang Nuo still wants to give it a try. Since things have already reached this point, I am really sorry for myself if I don’t fight for it. With the help of Takeshi Kitano, Ouyang Nuo and Akihazuki came to Toei’s building for the first time.

While this old Japanese production company has a profound foundation, it also has an indescribable smell, just like a huge library full of knowledge, but when you are in it, you will smell a trace of decay.
