The literary era since 1979

"That sounds interesting."

Martin Spencers smiled, "And I remember Steven you have a soft spot for monster movies right?"

Steven Spielberg openly admitted, "I have long wanted to make a monster movie like King Kong and Godzilla, but I have never found an excellent script. Now there is finally a work that suits my taste."

Fang Yan said that he would be happy to introduce him to Ye Yonglie and negotiate the film adaptation rights of "Miracle on the World's Highest Peak".

"I thought so too, and I hope you can participate in this dinosaur movie project as a screenwriter and producer."

Steven Spielberg took the initiative.

"If it's any other novel, I might consider it for a while." Fang Yan said seriously, "I might even reject you politely due to factors such as time and energy. But if it's a Chinese science fiction novel like "Miracle on the World's Highest Peak", I'm very happy to help!"

Mike understands Mr. Fang's good intentions very well. Although Chinese science fiction literature has begun to connect with the international community thanks to last year's World Science Fiction Conference, and has cooperated with world science fiction magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, and can regularly publish English translations of Chinese science fiction novels in journals, these are far from enough if we want to promote and publicize Chinese science fiction literature on a larger scale and with greater strength.

One of the most effective and appropriate ways is to use the medium of film to turn more Chinese novels into science fiction films.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't refuse."

Steven Spielberg smiled and said, "Then I'll leave the adaptation of this novel to you."

Cameron cast a questioning look, "Fang, I wonder how you plan to adapt this story of dinosaur clones and resurrection?"

"Well..."

Fangyan pretended to be in deep thought and remained silent for a while.

Steven Spielberg, Mike and others looked at him expectantly, afraid to make the slightest noise and interrupt his thinking.

Fangyan hesitated for a while before he said, "I'm going to write a story about a dinosaur park."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and became even more curious.

Dialectal play: "To be precise, it's called 'Jurassic Park'."

Steven Spielberg's eyes suddenly lit up, "Jurassic Park? What a great name!"

Under his earnest gaze, Fang Dialect slowly told the story of "Jurassic Park", which was not complicated at all.

He is a billionaire who is determined to build an extraordinary park, in which dinosaurs will be the protagonists.

So they invested a huge amount of money, recruited many scientists under their command, used the blood from ancient mosquitoes trapped in amber to extract the DNA information of dinosaurs, and used this information to clone and reproduce dinosaurs, allowing these prehistoric animals that had been extinct on Earth for more than 60 million years to be reborn. Moreover, they built the world's first theme park to display dinosaurs to the outside world on an overseas island, and named it "Jurassic Park". They firmly believed that they could make a lot of money from it, so they planned to invite famous experts in the academic community to visit the park before it opened.

"We never expected that the dinosaurs in the entire park would get out of control..."

Listening to him talking about the idea of ​​"Jurassic Park", Steven Spielberg, Cameron and others became more and more interested.

“This is a great adaptation!”

Martin Spencer was amazed, "Especially the scientific errors involved in Wonders on the World's Highest Peak were cleverly corrected. After all, it is difficult to collect genetic information from dinosaurs through fossils, but the ancient mosquitoes trapped in amber can make people imagine."

Cameron agreed very much, but was worried that the story of "Jurassic Park" would be too monotonous without twists and turns.
"Since it's a monster movie, the highlight is of course the spectacle of dinosaurs, so the plot framework doesn't have to be complicated. The focus should be on creating thrilling scenes around dinosaurs. Of course, it would be best if it could show the conflict and struggle between humans and dinosaurs."

Fang Yan said: "It can make the audience think deeply about the relationship between man and nature." "Fang, you are absolutely right."

Steven Spielberg said: "When audiences go to the theater to watch monster movies, what they look forward to most is the monsters!"

Fang Yan said: "If you want to make it richer, it's actually very simple, just add more comedy, action and adventure elements."

"Just like Indiana Jones!" Steven Spielberg's eyes flashed with admiration.

Fang Yan stood in front of a photo of Lin Qingxia and recommended Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia to star in "Jurassic Park".

Steven Spielberg did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought and weighing.

Cameron felt that Jackie Chan was indeed the best choice for the leading actor in "Jurassic Park".

"I have watched his series of movies including Die Hard and Police Stories. The thrilling action scenes reminded me of Buster Keaton, while the funny and humorous body language made me feel like I was seeing Chaplin."

"He called it 'kung fu comedy.'"

Fang Yan said that with Cheng Long's kung fu comedy and the special effects wonders of Jurassic Park, the whole movie will definitely create incredible sparks.

Steven Spielberg nodded and said, "I will seriously consider your suggestion."

…………

Everyone walked around the art center.

Cameron was not interested in the film clip of Lin Qingxia being broadcast on TV, but was more concerned about the dialect.

"Fang, do you have any creative plans or intentions next?"

"He asked me the same question on the plane."

Fangyan and Mike looked at each other.

"So what are you going to write? Science fiction? Mystery? Or some other kind of novel?"

Martin Spencers put his hands behind his back.

"In fact, if Steven hadn't suddenly mentioned 'Miracle on the World's Highest Peak', I hadn't planned to continue writing science fiction scripts or novels. I wanted to put it aside for the time being." Fang Yan said sincerely, "Because I don't want people to think of me as a 'science fiction writer' when they think of me in the future. Of course, there's nothing wrong with science fiction, but the world of literature is huge, and writing serious literature may give me more room for exploration."

Everyone agreed, especially Cameron, as these words really touched his heart.

"To be honest, I have the same idea. From the time I took up the director's chair until now, I have been shooting science fiction movies. So after The Abyss, I plan to try shooting other types of stories. Just like Fang said, I want to change my mind and taste."

"Me too, I've been looking for a suitable novel to adapt recently."

Martin Spencer then turned his attention to Fangyan, and if he still couldn't find anyone he liked, he would ask him to tailor a script for him.

Facing the crowd of people who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, Fangyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was indeed a time-tested capitalist warrior. He would just grab a sheep and pluck it as hard as he could! (End of this chapter)
