I really don't want to eat with my face

Chapter 115
The news of Lu Changming's filming of "Three-Body Problem" caused an uproar, and it can be said that it shocked the science fiction literature circle and the film and television circle at the same time.

Although Lu Changming himself or the producer has never made a definite statement, people have already determined that Lu Changming is going to shoot "Three-Body Problem".

Lin Yimou also knew about it, so he hurried to find Lu Changming.

Lu Changming can figure it out and meet Lin Yimou.

"Xiao Lu, you want to shoot "Three-Body Problem"?" Lin Yimou looked very worried.

Lu Changming was taken aback: "How do you know? I haven't announced it yet."

"Everyone is talking about the news from the Science Fiction World Forum now." Lin Yimou sighed.

Lu Changming recalled it and figured it out.

Lin Weixi said it, it doesn't matter.

"That's okay, I really want to make "Three-Body Problem"." Lu Changming admitted generously.

"The company studied it overnight, and I also read "Three-Body Problem" again. We all felt that "Three-Body Problem" was too grand, and we could only shoot the tip of the iceberg. It was a hundred times more difficult than "Zhu Xian"!" Lin Yimou is a famous director. eyesight.

He has already seen how difficult it is to shoot "Three-Body Problem".

Lu Changming didn't refute, because he also found it difficult.

He is a gold-medal screenwriter, but it is difficult to write a masterpiece like "The Three-Body Problem", and he has only managed to write more than a thousand words after staying at home for so long.

The biggest trouble is the time limit of the film. This time, it is not possible to finish filming in two parts, at least Lu Changming thinks it is not possible.

He had to face a difficult problem, whether to abandon many essences, only shoot some superficial civilized wars, and use special effects to attract people.

But after thinking about it for several nights, he was finally reluctant. The essence of "Three-Body" is definitely not in the high-tech war. The human nature, social philosophy, and universe theory in it are all as dazzling as shooting stars.

If you want to shoot, shoot in the most dazzling place.

But the problem is how to describe a dazzling and complete civilization story in a limited time.

"It's impossible to shoot "Three-Body Problem" in two parts. I feel very strenuous, and my brain hurts every day thinking about it." Lu Changming said frankly.

Lin Yimou was even more worried: "Now the outside world has put the burden of filming "Three-Body Problem" on you. If you don't make it, or the film is poor, all your reputation will be ruined."

"I can shoot, but slowly, I can't be in a hurry." Lu Changming rubbed his chin and thought, he had to do what he could.

Lin Yimou fell silent, and said after a while, "Have you considered the four-part five-part model? This is quite popular in the foreign science fiction film industry."

"I'm thinking about it. It's impossible to finish the filming by dividing it into upper and lower parts. It can't be controlled." Lu Changming nodded.

He didn't like any four-part five-part series before, because this mode is generally an independent story, only leaving a suspense at the end, and then depending on the box office to make money.

If the box office is high, it will continue to be appropriate, and if the box office is small, it will not be appropriate.

Now Lu Changming is more or less forced to do so. To make "Three-Body" present perfectly, he needs exactly bad money.

"If you make a quadrulogy, even if it is a trilogy, it will consume a lot of money and time. Generally, producers can't afford it, and you will spend years or even ten years. You have to think about it." Lin Yimou said with concern. , I don't want Lu Changming to invest all his youth and hard work in "Three-Body Problem" in the next few years.

No need.

Lu Changming didn't speak, and he hesitated in his heart.

"The Three-Body Problem" must be filmed, even if it is a five-part and six-part part, but there is no turning back when I start my own, and my future youth will be tied to "Three-Body Problem".

With Lu Changming's sense of responsibility, he would definitely not be able to let go of "The Three-Body Problem" until the end of filming.

"Three-Body" is equivalent to his burden.

"I also chatted with the producer. They said that they can buy you a sci-fi IP, and let you try the water first, so as not to make yourself fooled by shooting "Three-Body Problem." Lin Yimou observed the situation, and finally said own purpose.

Let Lu Changming test the waters first!
This is also the purpose of the producer.

Of course, the real purpose of the producer is not to test the water, but to let Chang Lu know that it is difficult to retreat.

Let you try the waters, and then you will be ashamed to face others, and you will not toss about science fiction films in the future.

Don't even think about "Three-Body" or something.

"Trying the water? It's doable." Lu Changming did not refuse. He knew the difficulty of filming "Three-Body Problem" and he couldn't devote himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "Three-Body Problem".

It's better to try the water and practice your hands first, so as to lay the foundation for the future shooting of "Three-Body Problem".

"Well, I'll tell the producer immediately to let them buy some sci-fi IP." Chief Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lu Changming would plunge into "Three-Body Problem" and return to it in the next few years or even decades. No head.

LeTV Film and Television Company and the four major producers held another meeting to discuss Lu Changming's filming of "The Three-Body Problem".

Wang Badan kept swearing, wishing to beat Lu Changming to death, but he was helpless because of Lu Changming's identity as the son of Jijian.

Being depressed, Lin Yimou called and said that Lu Changming agreed with the producer.

Wang Badan immediately smiled into a chrysanthemum face: "The kid agreed, hurry up and get him a sci-fi IP to fool him, so that he will die of making sci-fi movies, so he can make money with romance movies in the future!"

The four major producers are very happy, and Lu Changming's cash cow is stable.

"Sci-fi IPs are not popular, they are basically small things, and the mode is that the earthlings defend against alien invasion. Like "Sea Fortress", it has been flooded in foreign film circles, and the last "Sea Fortress" ” hit the street, it’s not flattering to shoot in this mode again.” The producer of Southern Film and Television began to talk about business.

"Don't worry about it, we don't expect Lu Changming to make money, let him take care of it." Wang Badan snorted, "If he really wants to shoot, we just need to invest a million each, and we will treat him as nothing. .”

Movies have never been movies in the eyes of investors, but commodities.

Three days later, several documents were sent to Lu Changming, and it was Lin Yimou who sent them.

"Xiao Lu, look at these, they are all popular novels in the sci-fi circle. "The Day It Falls", "District [-]", and "Flare" are all good materials."

These novels are relatively well-known novels in domestic science fiction circles, and the producers can help purchase film and television copyrights, and then adapt them.

Lu Changming flipped through them one by one, briefly glanced at the introduction, and couldn't help frowning.

"They're all small dramas that can be produced at low cost, as long as the aliens show their faces." Lu Changming was not very satisfied.

This is not a sci-fi blockbuster, but a small sci-fi movie, like raising an alien at home, and then writing about the friendship between civilizations.

It's not that it's not good, but that it doesn't suit Lu Changming's taste.

What he wants is a blockbuster.

"The producer didn't invest much this time, so we have to choose carefully." Lin Yimou laughed dryly.

"I'll choose by myself, and I'll tell the producer if I'm satisfied." Lu Changming didn't care about money. The two "Zhu Xian" made him a lot of money, and at worst he would pay for it himself.

Lin Yimou had to leave, and he was also very helpless. On the one hand, he was a mercenary funder, and on the other hand, he was Xiao Lu, who was unconstrained.

I'm too difficult.
