Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 108 108. Encountering Difficulties
"It's Jerlock? Am I right? Oh my god."

"As a book fan for many years, to be honest, I have been looking forward to the novel being adapted into a movie, and finally it has happened!"

"Boss Jerrock's black cloud is very majestic. It would be very exciting if it were photographed!"

"This turns out to be like this. No wonder Les is not afraid of losing at all. This is because he has a buff."

"Damn it, if he doesn't talk about martial arts, then he doesn't have to write a script at all. The original novel is just an awesome science fiction drama."

"Is this kid just lucky?"

"."

At this time, Les and Andrew, who netizens said were unlucky, were visiting in a villa, which was Jerrock's house.

Jerrock, who was in his 40s, was wearing a nightgown. He brought wine glasses to the two of them and said with a smile, "It's such an honor to have two great directors here."

"We've been friends for many years, so there's no need to be so polite, right?" Andrew took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Les stared at the two of them with wide eyes. Unexpectedly, they actually knew each other and seemed to have a good relationship, right?

Although Jerrock is a New York Times best-selling author, he is different from other writers in that he is withdrawn by nature and does not like to attend various cocktail parties. Therefore, many people want to see him, but few can see him.

It's also not easy to get the rights to adapt his movie. This guy is so weird, and cooperation depends entirely on his mood.

Originally, Les was a little surprised as to why Jeroke would support him, but it turned out that it was all because of dragging Andrew down.

Andrew smiled and explained: "We came to Hollywood to work together 40 years ago, and we lived in the same basement at that time."

No wonder!
Les deeply believed that this was the profound friendship of working together.

Jerrock shrugged: "If Andrew hadn't asked, I really wouldn't have given up the film adaptation rights in the near future, but don't even think about "Dark Cloud", there are too many companies trying to snatch this novel. "

"I'm just telling you to make a lot of money for you. What I'm filming for you is another novel "The Fog Disaster"!"

"what?"

Rice didn't expect that it wasn't "Dark Cloud", and he was a little disappointed for a while, but then he thought about it and didn't even think that Jerrock had this novel.

Andrew could see his doubts and smiled: "That was just written by Jerlock and has not been published yet."

"!?"

Les was shocked. He didn't expect Jerrock to be willing to give him a novel that had not been released yet.

Jerlock waved his hand and poured himself another drink: "Of course, how about it, a work that has not been released yet, this gimmick is better than "Black Cloud"!"

"Okay, okay, great!" Les rubbed his hands, unable to hold back his excitement.

Andrew smiled and said: "I have read this script. There won't be too many special effects scenes. With the help of my special effects company, you should be fine this time. Just imagine, Director Rice made a movie in one month It’s a science fiction blockbuster, tsk tsk tsk, the industry is shocked.”

"But we have agreed in advance that for this movie, you can only get 200 million in directing fees and a small share of the box office, and the copyright does not belong to you."

Andrew took it for granted.

Les was stunned, but for him at this time, making money was secondary, the most important thing was to restore the decline.

So he nodded in agreement.

At this time, Jerlock also brought the novel "The Fog Disaster" and handed it to Rice to read.

But in his heart, he was thinking about the benefits he could gain from this cooperation.

Although his novels are still on the best-seller list in the past few years, their sales have actually begun to slowly decline. What they can maintain is just the reputation they accumulated in the past.

In addition, many young novelists have emerged recently, and their works are full of imagination. Like a scourge, Jerlock feels even more pressure.He is getting older and his mind is no longer as flexible as before, so he does not have much confidence in new books.

If he can use this competition that fans around the world are paying attention to to increase his presence, his new book may become a global bestseller again!

There is absolutely no harm in this matter for him. If the adaptation is well done, more people will buy the book thanks to his own credit.

If the filming is bad, you can completely blame the director and let the fans read the original novel, and you will not suffer any loss.

"Mr. Jerlock Mr. Jerlock?"

Rice's cry interrupted his thinking. Jerlock raised his head and smiled: "What's wrong, Mr. Rice?"

"This script is really good. You are still full of imagination!!" Les held the novel in his hand tightly. This was the key to his victory.

Jerlock was very proud: "How does it compare to that Xia guy?"

"It's very exciting. A small town shrouded in fog, monsters and dangers. In the end, the male protagonist ran out of the supermarket with a few people. It was so thrilling!" Rice believes that this novel will definitely be a bestseller!
And it’s even more of an honor to make it into a movie myself!

There are sci-fi special effects scenes and human descriptions, it’s amazing!
Andrew also praised: "Especially the depiction of human nature in the supermarket is so penetrating. In this regard, it cannot be compared to Chen Li, a Xia man."

"Haha, the time is so short this time, I'm really curious about what script he can write!" Les sneered.

Andrew stood up: "Don't worry, this time I arranged for someone to see if I can sneak into his room and take some secret photos."

The three looked at each other and smiled.

If the script is leaked, it will be a devastating blow to the director.

Every year, Hollywood resorts to frequent tactics to prevent script leaks. These are bloody lessons. They don't believe that a foreigner who just arrived can notice this detail!
At this time, in the hotel room where Chen Li lived, Chen Li was crumpling a few pages of paper and throwing them on the ground.

He is indeed a little confused. One month is not long or short. It is more than enough for other types of films, but it is still difficult for science fiction.

He tried to write several top-notch scripts to see if they were feasible, but halfway through writing he found that they couldn't be completed at all. There were too many things to prepare for. As long as he had half a year, he would definitely write a movie like "Interstellar" Come up with hard science fiction!
One month is too tight now, unless it is still a soft science fiction work like the previous "This Man Came from Earth".

Chen Li pondered and began to search in his brain to see if there were any simple but very hard-core science fiction works?
At this time, the door was opened, and Liu Wanxin walked in with a few books and a glass of water.

Naturally, he sat next to her and said, "This is for you."

Chen Li took it and saw that it was actually a science fiction novel by Jerrock. Chen Li smiled and said, "Why did you give me this all of a sudden?"

"Since we are opponents, of course you know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. You should also relax." Liu Wanxin said with a smile, then walked behind her and pinched his shoulders a few times before going out.

Outside the door, Wang Anrou, Li Tian, ​​Cao Hong, Allen and others all looked at her.

"How's it going? Is the boss still thinking hard?"

"The boss has never thought about it for such a long time. Is he encountering a problem?"

Everyone asked endlessly, Liu Wanxin shook her head, sighed and said: "It seems that he is still thinking about it, and judging from the fact that he lost several pieces of paper, he has indeed encountered a problem!"

Everyone immediately remembered and was running around, wanting to come up with ideas but not knowing what to do?
Everyone has read Jerrock's novels in the past few days. They are indeed excellent and are powerful rivals. Because of this, we can understand Chen Li's pressure.

Before anyone could say a few words, the door was opened. Chen Li yawned and walked out. He was startled by the person at the door: "What are you doing? Are you all here? Just in time, come with me to have a meal." , my treat!”

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

Well, it’s good to have a meal and relax.

Just after the group of people went downstairs, a black hotel attendant walked out from the corner. He pushed a cleaning utensil cart towards Chen Li's room.

Familiarly, he picked up the spare card, scanned the door lock, and pushed the door open.
