Chapter 780: Acquiring the rights and filming "The Wandering Earth"

"it is good!!"

Han Sanping put down the manuscript and exclaimed in admiration.

His evaluation of this science fiction novel, *The Wandering Earth*, was only eight words:

My mind is blown!

Absolutely brilliant!

In just a few tens of thousands of words, a vast and awe-inspiring story is sketched out!
Faced with a solar helium flash crisis, humanity did not give up hope in this apocalyptic situation. Instead, it made the astonishingly courageous choice to take the Earth on a journey through the universe!

The sheer scale, the ingenuity, and the depth of its conception were so impressive that even Han Sanping was awestruck and fascinated by it.

Especially in the face of the end of the world, humanity abandons everything and does everything in its power to save itself, spending 2500 years and 100 generations to find a new home. This spirit of perseverance and self-improvement has repeatedly stirred Han Sanping's blood!

Such imaginative and imaginative ideas are truly amazing!
Han Sanping looked at Liu Cixin with admiration. As a seasoned filmmaker, his appreciation skills were quite good. In his eyes, this novel was truly a rare masterpiece.

No wonder Takeshi Ono specifically requested to discuss adaptation rights with Liu Cixin.

His unique insight was truly admirable.

However, doubts arose.

According to Liu Cixin, "The Wandering Earth" has just been completed and has not yet been published. How did Takeshi Ono, who is far away in Japan, find out about it and go to the trouble of asking him to come over for negotiations?

It's as if they can foresee the future.

This isn't the only question.

Even someone outside the entertainment circle like Liu Cixin knows about Oni Takeshi, so Han Sanping is even more familiar with him.

Putting nationality aside, Takeshi Ono's international achievements have earned him the admiration and respect of countless people.

Of course, there are also many who are envious and jealous.

Although Han Sanping didn't admire or worship Guiye Wu, he was by no means a jealous or petty person, and he still held Guiye Wu in high regard.

Therefore, Han Sanping was quite surprised when he received a notice from his superiors asking him to help contact a science fiction writer, and it was said to be a request from Ono Takeshi.

Ono Takeshi is actually going to adapt a Chinese novel, and it's even a science fiction novel?

Han Sanping still clearly remembers that his first reaction was disbelief.

It must be admitted that China's entertainment industry, especially in film, does not have a significant presence internationally, let alone compared to mature and developed markets like Hong Kong and Japan.

Moreover, someone like Oni Takeshi, who is comparable to top directors in Europe and America, is a big shot in Han Sanping's eyes, even if he is as arrogant as he is.

Therefore, when he received the mission, although he was somewhat puzzled, Han Sanping was more excited and curious at the same time.

Driven by this curiosity, Han Sanping sought out Da Liu, wanting to see just how excellent the novel that Gui Yewu had chosen must have been.

As it turned out, he was not disappointed. Although it is unknown how Ono Takeshi knew about "The Wandering Earth" in advance, his insight was indeed unique.

Han Sanping secretly admired him, thinking, "He truly deserves to be called a world-class director."

Thinking of this, he carefully put the manuscript away, and then immediately said:

"Mr. Liu, to be honest, Mr. Ono Takeshi wants to buy the film adaptation rights to 'The Wandering Earth.' Rest assured about the price; given Mr. Ono Takeshi's status and position, he will definitely not disappoint you."

"This one……"

Da Liu was not tempted by the other party's offer; instead, he hesitated.

He was naturally overjoyed that someone as talented as Ono Takeshi would take a liking to his novel, and even felt somewhat flattered. But after the initial excitement, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Liu Cixin is naturally very knowledgeable about his own novels. It's not that he's arrogant; after all, he writes science fiction, especially "The Wandering Earth," which is full of grand scenes. A 11000-meter planetary engine, detonating the moon, igniting Jupiter, and various apocalyptic disasters... each one is a scene beyond imagination!
These things are easy to describe in words, but if you want to make them into a movie... even if Liu Cixin isn't a film professional, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Before Han Sanping came to his door today, Liu Cixin had absolutely no idea whatsoever about turning his novel into a movie.

Let alone Chinese films, which are considered a "sci-fi wasteland," even Hollywood, with its developed film industry, might not be able to achieve the effect he envisioned.

To recreate the grand scenes in the novel, special effects are the only way, but the amount of money, time, and other costs involved is terrifying to even think about.

However, the thought of "impossible" had barely arisen when it was immediately suppressed by a towering figure.

If it's Takeshi Onino...

Thinking of the miracles that man had created, Da Liu simply couldn't bring himself to refuse.

He surely longs for his novel to be made into a movie; this is probably every author's wish.

After careful consideration, he ultimately decided to believe in the man who had repeatedly created miracles.

Meeting Han Sanping's expectant gaze, Da Liu took a deep breath and nodded:

"Okay, I agree!"

……

"He agreed? Okay, please thank Mr. Han for me."

Takeshi Onino, who was far away in Tokyo, hung up the phone with a slight smile on his face.

Great, we've got the rights to "The Wandering Earth"!

As expected, Da Liu did not refuse, something Gui Yewu had anticipated.

That's right, the movie that Takeshi Ono wants to make is "The Wandering Earth," which raked in 46.87 billion yuan at the box office in his previous life and was hailed as "opening the door to Chinese science fiction films"!
The only way to defeat that giant ship is to take an unconventional approach.

At least in Takeshi Ono's eyes, The Wandering Earth is no less impressive than Titanic.

Whether considering its grand theme of "a community with a shared future for mankind," its philosophical reflections on "digital life" and "human survival," or its thrilling scenes such as destroying the moon with capsule toys and setting Jupiter ablaze, this film is an excellent choice.

More importantly, this movie is able to fully utilize the special effects!
This is also the source of Takeshi Onino's confidence.

So he contacted the mainland side, as they had previously collaborated to some extent when filming "The Diary of John Rabe".

First, they contacted Liu Cixin's publisher and learned that the publisher had already created "The Wandering Earth," which made Takeshi Ono overjoyed.

He was initially worried that Liu Cixin hadn't started writing "The Wandering Earth" by this point in time, but luckily he was right.

With the biggest obstacle removed, the rest is simple: just have someone from the mainland visit Liu and talk to him.

Guiye Wu never expected that the person sent from that side would be Han Sanping, the future big boss.

And the result did not disappoint Takeshi Ono; he successfully obtained the copyright.

With the plan finalized, Oni no Takeshi immediately issued a series of instructions, and the entire Oni no Film Studio instantly sprang into action.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the news, Hong Kong Island also began preparations. For the first time, Uncle Shao and Zou Daheng put aside their grudges and joined forces with the Xiang brothers of Yong Sheng to fully cooperate with Gui Yewu.

As the undisputed kings of the film industry, the combined strength of these three companies practically represents the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Such significant actions by both sides naturally could not be kept secret from those who were interested.

Soon, the news spread.

A year later, the news that Takeshi Onino was directing a film again caused a sensation in Japan and even throughout Asia...
