The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 907 Rural Teachers
"Which three novels do you dare to ask?" Someone asked impatiently.

"Well, this is the first book, the Wandering Earth I mentioned before!" Huang He smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I am very much looking forward to the day when The Wandering Earth will be made into a TV series and movie!"

Having said this, Da Liu on the side suddenly became a little restless, thinking in his heart, this guy wouldn't lock me up in a hotel to code words!

"The Wandering Earth!" Basically everyone here has read this book that won the Galaxy Award in 2000. Among other things, the idea of ​​installing a planetary engine on the Earth and then running with the entire Earth is really very interesting. Crazy and spectacular, if such a theme is made into a movie, it will definitely be an epic sci-fi movie!
The premise is that Boss Huang will have to spend a lot of money on special effects, but judging from the treatment of Piao Miao Journey, it should not be short of money. Then the most magnificent movie in the history of Chinese science fiction may be born like this.

For the selection of this work, everyone here has no opinion, and Liu's current status in the science fiction world, it is a matter of course to get a chance.

"Then the remaining two should be ours!" Everyone thought excitedly, and then heard Boss Huang continue to say, "The second work I decided to change is the rural teacher."

"Country Teacher!" Hearing the title of the book, everyone's expressions became a little weird. It's not that they are not satisfied with the work of Country Teacher, and they don't deserve the opportunity to adapt the first batch of science fiction works.

On the contrary, The Rural Teacher is also a work that won the Galaxy Award, and it is highly rated by all readers. It is an excellent work.

The rural teacher said that in a backward and poor mountain village in the west of China, a supporting teacher devoted his life to imparting scientific knowledge to the children, and finally let the children master the most basic scientific principles such as Newton's three laws.

On the other side of the universe, however, an extremely grand war is going on. It is a war between silicon-based civilization and carbon-based civilization in the universe. It can also be understood as a war between Transformers and humans.

In the end, the carbon-based civilization won the victory. In order to prevent the resurgence of the silicon-based civilization, this civilization decided to create a civilization blank zone reaching millions of light years in the universe, completely preventing the silicon-based civilization from resurging.

And in order to create such a blank area, the carbon-based civilization must destroy all civilizations in this area.Among them, non-carbon-based civilizations are naturally all cleared away, while other carbon-based civilizations need to identify whether this civilization has the potential to develop advanced cosmic civilizations, and civilizations without potential will be completely wiped out, and the identification method is to check this Whether civilization has mastered the three basic laws of mechanics.

So the children in this small mountain village on the earth were selected, and they happened to be taught Newton's three laws by the teacher, so human beings were saved, but no human being knew every day that they were saved by an unknown and dead village teacher.

From this simple story narration, it can be seen that the Rural Teacher is a work that is actually not very high in science fiction, but is very humanistic. Called a classic, people will be touched from the bottom of their hearts after watching it.

So there is no problem in choosing this work for adaptation, and this work does not require too many special effects. After all, the main content is the life scenes of rural teachers in class and students studying.

Well, in fact, the village teacher has also been adapted in another world, but it was adapted into a completely wrong movie "Crazy Alien".

Although the authors and the audience here have no objection to the selection of The Rural Teacher itself, their expressions are still very strange, because the Rural Teacher is still Da Liu's work.

Da Liu himself was a little restless, he smiled wryly and said to Huang He, "Mr. Huang, it is actually very difficult to adapt the rural teacher. The content of this work is really too little, so there is no need to adapt it!"

This is not wrong, because the main content of rural teachers is the plot of supporting education in the countryside, which does not need any special effects support at all. If some expensive actors are not selected, the main content can be completed at a cost of less than 100 million filmed.

As for the selection of the final alien civilization, it only needs to set up an alien spacecraft at the end, and then create some cool-looking technical special effects.According to the content of the original text, the scenes that require special effects support are less than 10 minutes. Such a sci-fi movie is a bit of a trick.

More importantly, the content of the whole village teacher is very little. Even if it is adapted word by word, it may only have less than 40 minutes of movie plot.

This is actually the reason why rural teachers in another world turned into crazy aliens.

It is said that the first version of the rural teacher's story at that time was indeed changed according to the original story of the rural teacher.However, after reading the script, the director understood that if the film was changed in this way, no one would watch it, and it would not be possible to promote it under the license of a sci-fi film, and readers would scold it badly.

So the director decided to increase the content of the sci-fi part and give the aliens more roles.

But the aliens in the original text just held an exam, how to increase the role reasonably?
That is naturally to let aliens enter human society to conduct a comprehensive investigation of human society, which is also very easy to create laughter.

But if the aliens just grab a few children to take the exam, then there is absolutely no need to enter the human society by themselves, and the alien technology does not allow such low-level behavior.

So it was necessary to set the aliens to damage the spaceship, and then the aliens fell to the earth or something, and then added the special fun of the United States... All kinds of ideas like this were added. Could it be that after dozens of versions of the script were revised, they suddenly discovered The original teacher is gone, and the protagonist has become a monkey trainer and a comedian.

So the director and screenwriter simply decided to completely abandon the structure of the rural teacher, not even the name, and the movie directly became "Crazy Alien".

Although the crew bought the copyright of the rural teacher, but the movie has become like this, they have no intention of using the assistance of the rural teacher to promote it, otherwise they will be scolded by the original readers if they want to know it. Bloody, the cost of purchasing the copyright is equivalent to giving away for nothing.

It’s not wrong to do so, it’s a correct decision, but investors and their ideas are different. At that time, the Wandering Earth was released, and it achieved an astonishing box office in the whole country. Liu and his works once again became the whole China's top topic.

So the investors at the same time suddenly remembered, isn't this movie an adaptation of Da Liu's rural teacher?

This is the best publicity point, you can immediately undertake the huge box office traffic brought by Wandering Earth!So the investors directly changed the promotional strategy of the original version, and began to hype that it was an adaptation of a film by a rural teacher, but it exploded immediately.

This is suddenly the mistake of idiot capital, but it is undeniable that the adaptation of rural teachers is extremely difficult. Even if it is handed over to professional directors and screenwriters, it will end up as something completely unrecognizable.

So it is only natural for Liu to raise doubts at this time.

However, our Boss Huang has already thought about how to adapt it, so he said with a smile, "Actually, the audience of science fiction movies, the biggest requirement for science fiction movies is actually a big scene that can shock their audio-visual experience, that is, the special effects screen. To put it simply, it is space war."

"As for the adaptation of a work with less length, the most appropriate way is not to change the content, but to add more content to it."

"The combination of these two elements, in fact, I know how the rural teachers should be adapted. I plan to let the rural teachers take a two-line narrative route. One line is to describe how the rural teachers fight against the ignorant villagers according to the original novel, Use your short life to burn a flame and pass on valuable knowledge to children!"

"And the other line is about carbon-based civilization and silicon-based civilization. In the original book, this part of the war is a passing content, so it can be added here to enrich the main story of a cosmic war."

"The main character of this story line is the censor responsible for reviewing civilization. This protagonist first participated in this glorious war and made great achievements in the war. After the victory, he became the censor who reviewed civilization this time. , and then review the civilization of the earth!"

"The content of this main line should be more, occupying about 2/3 of the movie, and all the special effects space war. So here we need to trouble Mr. Liu to enrich it, and make this silicon-based civilization and carbon-based civilization Write us about the Great War so we can keep filming!"

"By the way, I have already named this carbon-based civilization, the Xiling Republic"

"..." Da Liu was sweating profusely when he heard it. What he feared most was that he would be forced to practice code writing by the editor. But if the village teacher adapted it, he might not be able to close it directly in the hotel. Not going out for months, it was just horrible.

At the same time, after listening to Huang He's method of adapting rural teachers, the audience burst into warm applause.

Readers really hate capital's random fabrication of their favorite works, but it would be great if those pigeon writers are forced to retreat and write some plots that are not included in the original but are extremely attractive.

When the rural teacher was serializing, many people shouted that it was a pity that Liu did not write about this war, and it was the biggest regret of this novel.Well now, this regret can be filled.

If you look at it this way, capital is not a bad thing!
