On the plane from Yanjing to Los Angeles, Lin Han was recording something on the notebook with his pen. This trip was time for him to fulfill the content of the contract, and he went to cut the ribbon for the opening of the Los Angeles branch of Xinhua Bookstore.

In the first class cabin, the toiletries, the quilts and the pajamas were all ready. Chen Jiaxuan watched him write on the chair next to Lin Han, so she asked curiously: "What are you writing? It doesn't seem like a novel?"

There were not many first-class guests, Lin Han turned his head and smiled at her, explaining, "I am going to make a science fiction movie, and I have been writing novels for so long, and change my mind."

"You're finally going to make a movie?"

Chen Jiaxuan was very surprised. She thought Lin Han would never come out of the literature field, but she didn't expect that she had made plans secretly.

"Don't be too happy too early. I'm just making an experimental science fiction movie. The total investment is expected to be 100,000 yuan to practice."

This was beyond Chen Jiaxuan's expectations. He earned $72 million last year, so he would not invest so much money. "What kind of movie can you make for 100,000 yuan? Maybe you can't afford to buy cameras, actors, costumes, and lighting. If you have such a little money from science fiction movies, you have to get at least a few million dollars!"

"So I was thinking about how to make the money carefully. The costumes can be brought by actors, and the photographers can ask Wang Hao and others for support." Lin Han became more and more excited. The science fiction film he expected did not rely on traditional routines such as lasers, metals, and special effects, so the cost requirement was relatively low.

Since you are training yourself, it is boring to get money when you open it. You have to plan well at the beginning, otherwise it is very likely that you will run out of money when shooting, but only half of the things are taken. These are things that new directors have to overcome!

Lin Han is indeed rich, but the money is not prepared for his first movie, but for his subsequent works, a science fiction blockbuster in the true sense.

"Wait, you haven't said what your movie is called!" Chen Jiaxuan then remembered the most critical question. It was in vain to say that after talking about the relationship for so long.

"The tentative name is "This Man from Earth". The script is already in my mind. After the movie is finished, I will write it into a novel."

This movie has achieved great success in Lin Han's original time and space. Its total investment is only 10,000 US dollars, and the promotional expenses of 10,000 US dollars were included. Together, it used 20,000 US dollars, which also created a legend of a small-cost science fiction movie!

Chen Jiaxuan repeated the title of the book, "What story does this man come from Earth mainly tell? Could it be that this is already going to the other planets, so he comes from Earth?"

Lin Han took a deep breath, closed his notebook and explained, "If someone tells you that he has lived for 14,000 years and was a person from the cave period. He once communicated with Confucius and discussed the truth with Laozi, and once went to the West with Zheng He to help Columbus travel around the world. He once gently caressed Guangling and smiled at Boyaziqi. He communicated with the painting saint Wu Daozi, painted with Van Gogh, listened to the teachings of Sakyamuni, and saw a monk named Xuanzang heading towards the West, and he was even the prototype of Jesus."

"One day you suddenly realized that this person is a friend of yours. What would you think while you have been together for ten years? Should you believe what he said, or use countless questions to question whether he is lying or is he mentally ill?"

Chen Jiaxuan was startled by Lin Han's imagination. She bit her lip and said with a smile: "I definitely won't believe it, it's impossible!"

Lin Han snapped his fingers and said, "What you want is your thoughts. It is precisely because you don't believe it, so you keep watching until you believe it."

In fact, this movie was once a novel by science fiction writer Jelomi Besby. After being adapted into a movie, it sparked widespread discussion, and even a drama with the same name was born!

This almost completed the Jedi counterattack for a movie with an investment cost of $20,000. The 2007 movie was often dragged out and discussed in 2017. After all, it relies on the form of pure dialogue to promote the development of the story without any special effects.

To put it simply, it’s just that a group of people are idle and they sit in the room and chat, so Lin Han thinks that the budget should be feasible within 100,000 RMB!

This is a simple version of Lin Han. He made the protagonist Chinese. The Silk Road on the sea and land was opened under his guidance, so he followed the trend and connected the European part, combining Chinese and Western styles to complete the dramatic transformation!

"This Man From Earth" originally had a simple plot. John, a 35-year-old Harvard history professor, suddenly chose to resign after ten years of work. His colleagues came to see him off and expressed their confusion, and the curtain of the story opened.

In the seemingly simple house, Van Gogh's paintings, medieval bows and arrows, and four thousand stone axes were decorated. These colleagues came to bid farewell to the protagonist, expressed doubts about John's departure, and urged him to explain.

The reason John proposed was that he surprised the Harvard professors. John claimed that he had an immortal body and had lived on the earth for 14,000 years and could not stay in one place for more than 10 years, otherwise his secret would be discovered.

Faced with John's rhetoric, these historians, religious scholars, biologists, and psychologists began to have an academic debate with John that subverted tradition...

However, the original novels or scripts are filled with a large amount of Western religious history, geography, archaeology, philosophy, and psychology knowledge, which are particularly brain-burning and attractive in the film.

Since Lin Han has changed the plot, he also wants to rationalize the plot. This is a big project. His accumulation is not enough, so he has been unable to start writing for a long time. Now he is still learning and digesting it!

"When are you going to write the script?" Chen Jiaxuan began to worry about Lin Han's creative skills. Just listening to these things will make your mind explode. It will be even more difficult for him to write them out, and it will be even more difficult for him to find out the bugs in it!

Although this is just an ultra-low-cost movie script invested by RMB 100,000, it does not mean it is shoddy. Lin Han also intends to restore this into a novel and become a classic in the history of soft science fiction.

So he replied, "I started writing after I returned from the United States. I happened to be at Peking University. If you have any questions, you can consult the professors there. After writing the script, you will start preparing for the shooting."

If you don’t consider the picture quality, you can even shoot it with a sofa and a mobile phone. There is no need to chase the special effects of the movie, you just need to implement the imagination and creativity of the script!

This movie does not show the actors, not directors, but screenwriters' abilities. There is no scene where you can show off your skills for the director to perform. It is perfect for a "beginner" like Lin Han, and it can even be said to be tailor-made.

In addition to his identity at Peking University, he had the opportunity to actually ask biologists, religious scholars, anthropologists, historians, archaeologists, and psychologists for advice. Such a unique condition is something that other writers would not have!

When Lin Han thought of this, he wanted to start writing quickly and see that the script of "This Man from Earth" was released by himself.

The thing in his mind is just a rough version. How to polish it in detail is what you need to consider after the return trip.

"This should be a good story, but you have to tell it carefully." Chen Jiaxuan found it very attractive. "No matter what the movie is, I will definitely watch it when the novel is released. I want to see why you brag about not paying taxes!"

"Dear, the novel should be prepared at the same time as the script, but the release should be after the movie is released. I don't know if this movie will have a chance to be screened in the cinema."

Which director doesn't want to see his films on the big screen?

Of course, an investment of 100,000 yuan does not require it to make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan back, but at least it must meet the audience.

Chen Jiaxuan reached out and patted Lin Han's back of her hand. She nodded and said, "It will definitely be released in the cinema. Believe me, our company is not a decoration! It's just that the small investment cost and the shooting restrictions you mentioned, it is estimated that it is impossible to release a large scale, but at least every city will have a place to see it."

If you don’t even have this confidence, what company can you open?

The two of them held hands and smiled at each other, then leaned out to kiss each other. Fortunately, the first class cabin had better secrets and did not sprinkle too much dog food out.

Lin Han silently kept this story in his heart. He would be back after spending three days in Los Angeles. I believe that this novel and script will be born soon. At that time, readers will have to wait for a few more days!

Moonlight appeared on the vast ocean outside the window, and the sparkling waves looked very beautiful. Although most of the time it was black shadows, Lin Han, who was in a good mood, had enough to make up for it.

The long-distance flight that lasted more than ten hours was very annoyed. When dawn came, Los Angeles was already in front of you. Lin Han was awakened by the fragrance of beef noodles. After he stood up to wash, Chen Jiaxuan was woken up by the flight attendant and dozed off in a daze.

As first-class guests, they got off the plane at the front. Someone was waiting in the Los Angeles Airport. This was specially arranged by the overseas branch of Xinhua Bookstore. After all, Lin Han came to cut the ribbon for them, so they had to be responsible for the pick-up and drop-off service!

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, the star-studded Angel City gave them a surprise. It turned out that Leonardo, who had just been on vacation in Hawaii, has returned with his new Victoria's Secret model girlfriend!
