Chapter 155: Domestic Science Fiction Blockbuster
Lin Han's identity is actually quite embarrassing. The box office and reputation he filmed "Breaking Out of the Solar System" failed miserably, and many movie fans did not buy his account.
However, after his transformation, he became a best-selling science fiction novel author with a reputation, and wrote novels such as "Rural Teacher", "I, Robot", "Martian Rescue", and "Jurassic Park".
If Lin Han really wants to shoot, maybe those readers will have internal conflicts. The author is the one who knows the work best, but the lessons of "Breaking Out of the Solar System" are still vivid in my mind.
"You really dare to let me shoot?" Lin Han couldn't help but confirm again. It was too incredible that it had negotiated with so many film companies.
Li Li nodded, "I have seen your director editing version, and it was pretty good. Why did that movie fail? We all know a little bit of inside story to the point. My uncle said you are the most talented student he has ever brought. Don't you want to reshoot a science fiction film to make them look at it with admiration?"
Lin Han looked at Jiang Yuan, and his mentor nodded and said that this was true. Although he had made a bad movie, Lin Han was indeed very talented, otherwise he would not have directly shot "big production" in the form of a newcomer.
At this time, Lin Han's heart was pounding. Are he really ready to shoot a movie? Is he really want to shoot a movie or his dream come true and he can't stop at all.
Such tempting conditions made him want to agree several times, but it was not as simple as he imagined to be in charge of a crew. It was enough to let the actor stand in front of the camera, and there were too many things needed.
Now Lin Han is not even sure about the colors and compositions. If he wants to take pictures, there should be no other way except to copy Matt Damon's version in his memory.
However, the version on Earth Lin Han saw the final film and knew nothing about the shooting process. If he agreed, he might ruin his novel.
"In fact, I think it's enough to be a screenwriter of a movie. I'll direct a science fiction movie, but it's not this one." Lin Han finally figured it out, and he struggled to say, "Thank you for your suggestion, I can easily become a director candidate."
Jiang Yuan sighed with regret, "Xiaolin, do you really not think about it anymore? You should be the best candidate for shooting your own works. No one knows better than you what this novel should look like. This is a good opportunity to prove yourself!"
"Teacher Jiang, I have figured it out. I want to make a science fiction film of my own, from beginning to end. "The Mars Rescue" is too big, so I'd better leave it to others to shoot, unless you are willing to wait for me for a year."
Chen Jiaxuan suddenly spoke, "In fact, waiting for a year is not unacceptable. The movie has not yet been established, and no preparations have been carried out. The shooting cannot be started in a short period of time. Most projects that are launched in a hurry are not good."
"It's true. If we sign a contract now, we haven't even organized the team, the location of the outdoor shooting has not been established, and you haven't written the script well. You can think about it for the time being and answer it when we decide to start shooting." Li Li refused to let go of Lin Han's point worthy of publicity. There is nothing to hype about ordinary directors filming "Martian Rescue", but Lin Han's return to the science fiction film market is worth a lot of book.
Lin Han spread his hands and said helplessly: "I will take out the script as soon as possible. When will you need it at the latest?"
"Is it okay to have two months? At that time, we may make appropriate modifications to the script, but you must agree. The main plot will not change."
Two months is definitely a bit nervous for the original script, but it is much easier for the novel adaptation of the script, because the investors' requirements and themes have almost been established, and they only need to modify the key points, story outline, outline, and biography of characters.
Lin Han thought for a while and said, "It's okay for two months, but I hope that after the script is finalized, there will be no screenwriter in the group. It's too troublesome to modify it on the spot."
Next is the battle between Chen Jiaxuan and Li Li, two strong women. The final result is that the movie adaptation rights are 5% global box office share ratio and a symbolic RMB transfer fee of 1 million, and the screenwriter price is 2% Chinese box office and RMB 300,000.
Using box office share is basically a guaranteed income from drought and flood. If it is profit share, then the film company can do too much. A movie invested in 200 million yuan will cost at least 600 million yuan to make a profit. Then it is profit share, which is not cost-effective.
In fact, Lin Han felt that 200 million yuan was not enough, it depends on how the director continued to take out the money from Chang'e Film's wallet. Learning to ask investors for money is also a must-have ability for the director.
"Then we will sign the contract tomorrow after we have reviewed the contract. How about it?"
"It's better to have a big event early, so as not to think about it every day." Lin Han said relaxedly. After he took Li Li and Jiang Yuan to the elevator, he watched them leave before turning back.
Chen Jiaxuan was a little puzzled, "Actually, this movie should be easier to shoot, right? Most of the time in the novel is the protagonist. If you come to shoot it, it should be easier."
This is completely an amateur talking. An actor performs, and the director's strength is not necessarily very low. In fact, whether it is "Martian Rescue" or "Georacic", the requirements for directors are very high.
The directors who filmed these two movies on Earth won the Oscar for Best Director and the other won the Saturn Award for Best Director. In particular, the use of a large number of subjective long shots in "Georgement" will directly bring the audience into space. They don't have enough ability to play.
...
The next day, when Lin Han and Li Li signed their respective contracts, the long-sensational dispute over the adaptation rights of the movie "Martian Rescue" came to an end.
Chang'e Pictures uploaded the shooting registration through the website of the Radio and Television Bureau as soon as possible, and everything went so smoothly.
So when netizens refreshed the Weibo, they suddenly discovered a Weibo from Lin Han’s newly updated one: “Although there is still a big gap in special effects production, capital technology, imagination and content, Chinese audiences cannot always only watch American science fiction blockbusters.
Our local film industry is becoming more and more mature, Chinese science fiction novels are constantly rising, and a group of new domestic science fiction films embark on their journey. "Martian Rescue" will conquer the vast sea of stars under the guidance of Chang'e Film!" (To be continued.)
