Coquettish Rebirth

Of course, it is not necessary for Jia Hongjian to go to the original author.He has an industry in the United States, and he is also a film and television unit like DreamWorks. It is very easy for them to find Jan Martel!If Jia Hongjian remembers correctly, the original author also wrote basic books before he wrote "Youth School". Although those books are not as famous as "Youth School", they are still relatively well-known, so It's really not hard to find him.

However, if you want to find the original author as a screenwriter, it is not something that can be done right away—after all, the story in Jia Hongjian’s hands is a Chinese story. Under such a story, finding Isn't it strange that such a foreign writer came to work on the script?Generally speaking, you should find an author who is familiar with Chinese culture?And if Jia Hongjian remembers correctly, the author himself has lived in India for more than ten years, so if he writes about the situation in India, it is justifiable to find this author, write something about China, and he is still related to India It doesn't matter about Buddhism, how can people write about it?

Then the "Youth School" written by others in 01 and 02, maybe they have already started writing, even if they haven't started writing, they must have their own ideas. At this time, he sent someone to find others, for sure Can't you tell the core content of the story at once?Can't meet people to tell such a big reversal of the story?But in this case, if people turn back to the original author and hear the story is a story with a Chinese cultural background, will they not agree?

So what should we do about this matter?If you want to find the other party to be the screenwriter, it seems that there is something wrong with the name.After thinking about it.Jia Hongjian made a phone call to DreamWorks regardless of 21, and asked Katzenberg and others to help find such an author. As a result, Katzenberg called back after a long time: "Jia, you Why do you want to find this person... This person is completely penniless! He has published two novels now, and the two novels only sold a thousand copies... Why do you find this kind of person? He Can a person of this level help you write a script?"

ha?Is this Yann Martel still so tragic now?Jia Hongjian really didn't believe it, but Katzenberg just patted his chest and promised it!They made a phone call to the Writers’ Union in the United States—there are various civil unions in the United States, such as the Playwrights’ Union, which later made trouble with the entire Hollywood, and even caused a strike thing!Generally speaking, this kind of trade union is free to sign up. After signing up, although you have to pay the membership fee.But the trade union will help introduce brokers who specialize in helping newcomers to help deal with various publishing houses.Put the books of new authors in the hands of key people in the publishing house!

As a result, Katzenberg did find out this Jan Martel after a search, but after a search, he found that this Canadian was not mentioned in two books.And the sales are terrible!So of course people felt strange that Jia Hongjian wanted to find this person. "Oh? Such a person? Hmm. Maybe I got it wrong when I heard the name from my friend. I'll ask later..." Jia Hongjian found a random reason and temporarily evaded it.

After hanging up the phone here, Jia Hongjian realized that this matter was troublesome.If Martel in this year is still an uneducated dick, it would be too much for him to give others a chance out of nowhere!You said that Jia Hongjian made Jay Chou enter the Rolling Stone Records by name.At that time, Jielun Zhou was not given any important tasks by Jia Hongjian, and at the same time, Jielun Zhou also has some outstanding points - at least he has a good piano and sense of music, and the music is also a bit good!At most, everyone can only say that the style he writes is different from his own, but it can't be said that he can't write songs, right?

As for this Martel, now he is just a pure x, and there is nothing outstanding about it!This guy wrote two books before, each of which only sold a thousand copies, and it can be seen that the writing is really bad.After all, there are almost no pirated books in Nagata in North America, so if the book is good, it is really easy to sell well.And this guy's book only sold a thousand copies, which is basically the kind that can only be placed in the most inconspicuous corner after it is listed!And it's the kind that doesn't even have word of mouth after hundreds of copies have been sold!

For such an author, when he has no ability, how can he find someone to write the script?How is this convincing?It would be fine if this person was someone Jia Hongjian knew. He obviously didn't know him, and he was not well-known at all. Even such a person had never been a screenwriter. If Jia Hongjian asked him to be a screenwriter, how would he convince the public?Among other things, Li An might say something when the time comes—Mr. Jia, it would be better to let him write it than let me write it. Anyway, the scripts I wrote have all been turned into movies!This person has never even written a script, and the books he has written are all in a mess. Can he read the script he wrote?

Really, after reading the original work of "Youth School", Jia Hongjian found in his previous life that the author of this original work was really not good at writing the book, and the first part of living in India was too procrastinated!You must know that the first part of life in India, which lays the foundation for sailing, is a full 105 pages in the novel!Is this bearable?A full 105 pages are procrastinating about the experience of living in India, various religions and the situation in the zoo.Your sister, although the original name of your novel in English is "The Life of Pai", but you are so inexplicably procrastinating in India, you have been writing various plots of growing up, and there is no catch that makes people can't help but read it. It can be said how many times Jia Hongjian gave up on the plot, before he read it slowly and saw the shipwreck!

Originally, in history, after Jia Hongjian read this book, he thought it was due to the different reading habits of readers in China and North America, so this novel, which is said to have sold millions of copies in North America, was in line with the reading habits of Europeans and Americans. of!As a result, if you think about it now, it is obviously because the author can't tell a story!He is just lucky to have such a story!If the story in this novel is not Youth Pi, but another story, then it might not be a hit if he writes it as a novel!So if such an author asks him to write the script, it will probably be unsightly, and it will probably be procrastinated and unbearable!

If you put it this way, if you hire this author as a screenwriter to delay other people's efforts, it is very likely that people around you will oppose it, and even the author himself will not live up to it, and the things written will not be eye-catching at all!So under such circumstances, does Jia Hongjian still have to let this author come over?Yes, letting him come over like this can indeed dispel the "inspiration" of the other party, but this will be too abrupt!He, Jia Hongjian, has always been careful not to be obtrusive in his work, and he has always paid attention to not leaving any lies!Such an obvious tell is too surprising, okay?

Damn!So how can it be seamless?What can I do to dispel the other party's inspiration without everyone doubting it?Jia Hongjian suddenly fell into deep thought.The reason why he wanted to find this author was to buy time for Ang Lee.If you want to buy time for Ang Li, you have to speed up or delay or even cancel the publication of such a work... But... why must you delay or even cancel the publication of such a work?Can such a work be published first?

That's right!What Jia Hongjian is thinking about right now is not to publish a book like "Life of Pi" first!What he thought of was, can we first write a story like "Tang Xuanzang's Magical Journey" into a novel?That's right!In history, "Youth Pi" also had a novel first, and after it sold well, Ang Lee made it into a movie, and then it still sold well, didn't it?So can he ask someone, for example, JK Rowling, who has read "Journey to the West", to help write such a novel?Throwing out such an idea first, although it will reduce the feeling of a masterpiece when the movie comes out, but this can be used as a carrot first!And Rowling has indeed read Journey to the West!Last year, when Jia Hongjian was talking about Journey to the West with Spielberg and the others, JK Rowling was also very interested!So in theory, it is completely fine for JK Rowling to write it!At the same time, JK Rowling is still a writer of children's literature, so it's no problem for her to write the first story as a fairy tale!

And in history, after JK Rowling finished writing "Harry Potter", didn't she stop writing children's literature and change to adult literature?This proves that Rowling does not want to write children's literature all her life, and proves that others also want to transform, so how about letting her start transforming now?Let her use such an "exotic" story now to put together the fairy tale-like freshness on the first layer and the bloody things on the second layer. This is not a perfect way to transform Rowling. Does it work?If this book is written, won't it make Rowling's image in the eyes of the world change from a children's literature writer to a very profound writer?

After having such an idea, he didn't immediately contact JK Rowling, but said to stop for a few days, and then tried and thought about other methods!After all, such a method will still weaken the final surprise of the plot and the effect of the masterpiece!Although speaking, if such a book sells even 1000 million copies, only a few people in the world have read it, and it still has a surprising effect for most people.But didn't Jia Hongjian want to keep improving?
