Chapter 585

The journey to the West Coast continues, and Gulfstream 4 flies to Silicon Valley.

Song Ya couldn't get rid of it. He quickly found that it was a great pleasure to read the scripts of each edition with a time span of more than ten years for a novel. It is not difficult to get a glimpse of the state of the script and the direction of adaptation from the perspective of the state of the script and the direction of adaptation.

For example, the first owner, Johnny Carson, was at the peak of his own talk show career when he bought the right to adapt the novel in 1980. So was his confidence and arrogance. In the same year, he was cut off by the local rich when he was buying a Las Vegas Casino, and immediately he made up a piece without swearing in front of the national audience Abusing each other, this character in the 80-82 cat and mouse game script also has a very good embodiment.

He learned of the existence of the novel "catch me all the time" when the writer abagnier was on his show. At that time, he had not encountered any failure in his personal investment, so he generously took over the adaptation right with a high premium, and immediately began to accumulate scripts with two writers and producers. He himself is an excellent screenwriter with high creative passion. His personal impression can be seen everywhere in the first edition of the script. He seems to have replaced himself with the legendary liar. Therefore, he focuses on depicting the exciting life and fraud scenes of the protagonist in the first half of his life. In addition, he also adds a lot of plots that are not found in the original work. The protagonist is changed into a high-end club He is a charming "elegant thief" who is graceful and charming on occasions.

But soon, he also found that he had deviated from his direction. It was not good to make a movie that touted a swindler who was too "perfect". So he began to revise it back to increase the plot after the liar was jailed. Obviously, his passion has subsided in the two versions of

81, and he has handed over two other people to specific work. But he has strong control and often make complaints about other's modifications. Even song Ya has found several paragraphs behind him with his Tucao script for his partner, such as "the protagonist will not do this, but he will not say so." This is not what a prudent liar should do! " Or "what's the rationality of this amendment? Yeah? The movie audience will laugh at the screenwriter, that is, me, rather than the unknown you! "

In '82, the situation changed again. The DMC auto company he invested in went bankrupt and his personal financial crisis. The scripts were obviously forgotten. After the last rough version, these scripts were packaged and sold to the next Columbia film company.

Columbia Pictures didn't pay attention to this kind of script at all, but it still spent some resources to continue to adapt it. After a version that relied on the direction of police and bandit thrillers, it felt that the risk of shooting was too high. After throwing it into their huge script library, it was bought by a producer in the company.

The producer named Bartlett was the most attentive to the script. He hired a screenwriter to revise it and provided the most historical versions. The last version in his hand was also the most complete, which was closest to the original film of apocalypse. The plot began to enhance the status of the police officer opposite the protagonist and enrich the wisdom of police and bandits.

It's a pity that Bartlett died before the film was set up. His heirs were not interested in this kind of thing. The script seemed to have been used to cushion the table for a period of time, and there were a lot of wine stains on the cover. The adaptation right passed through Disney and finally fell into the hands of Hollywood film industry.

The main job of Hollywood film industry is to reduce the cost of Bartlett's version. For this reason, it deleted the rich characters and background depictions in the original script, and rationalized the plot under this premise.

After looking over the past ten years of tangled experience, and the original version of the apocalypse in hand, so now Song Ya's heart is very bright.

The charm of this film has three aspects. First, it is the super acting skills of several leading actors. If you want to perfect the reproduction in the current era, the investment in the remuneration of actors will not be small.

The second is the panoramic depiction of the golden age of the great economic development of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, which can please those film critics and film award judges. The old people are very immersed in and miss that time, which is probably second only to Hollywood's golden age, the 1930s.

The third is the ups and downs of the plot, the protagonist's wonderful deception, super high intelligence and the ability to adapt to circumstances. Of course, his scenes of touching beautiful white girls of different styles also add a lot to the film.

So how much will it cost to make a film of the same quality with actors, background and beautiful faces? Twenty million won't stop. Not to mention that the original film of this film lasted more than two hours. Without the appeal of super directors and large companies, it would be impossible to pass the film arrangement on the cinema line.

Moreover, the formal drama in the 1960s was basically insulated from black people. At that time, racial discrimination was still very serious. This must be an all white film.

Budget? Maybe it can save a little money to shoot the scenery in the 1950s and 1960s than the original film ten years later

Super director? Now there are only a few Hollywood studios that have made a movie, and the Hollywood film industry, which has repeatedly failed, is not attractive to big directors.

In terms of starring, it seems that there is no substitute for the protagonist, Li Zi. His father, male No. 3, Christopher walker, detective, and male 2, Tom Hanks, should be able to replace them with cheap old actors.

Beautiful white girls are rich in resources, but those with good acting skills are also scarce resources in Hollywood."Boss."

While he was deep in thought, the plane was stable at San Jose Airport, and Jimmy and delay, who came to pick up the plane, ran into the cabin before he got down.

"Oh, I'll be ready in a minute."

Song Ya asked Linda to put away the script on the table, "let yelemov find this man." He points to the script closest to the original, the last version of producer Bartlett, when the name of the screenwriter he hired was on the cover.

"Cooness? And then? " Linda asked.

"I didn't want to find a shooter when I hired him to continue writing for the cat and mouse game."

If you want to use it, you should use the most suitable person. Since that person exists, song Ya doesn't want to take a long way. "In short, we'll work out the script as soon as possible, and then negotiate with Hollywood." If the script has life, this fresh life will continue in its own hands.

Follow Jimmy and delay to 3dfx's San Jose office, "so small? Are you making chips here? " He asked each other's three founders.

"Chips are made by big companies." The lead founder, rose, replied, "we're only responsible for design."

"All right."

With the help of Dilai, Jimi had already negotiated with the other party about the conditions of venture capital. He could only get 20% of the equity for $5 million, which was not easy to win in the competition for "Heroes". Jimi also used gray means to solve this problem. Of course, song ya did not intend to ask about the specific issue.

Although the excited and cunning eyes of the three founders hidden under their glasses make them feel uncomfortable, since Tianqi has revealed the direction of the industry's development, song ya did not mind these details and quickly signed a venture capital agreement with the other party.

"I hope your products will be on the market as soon as possible." He shook hands with each other.

"Don't worry, Mr. aplus. We won't let you down."

After leaving San Jose in a hurry, he rushed to nearby Sunnyvale. Mosaic browser has been on the market for more than ten days. Although he only brought out the beta version of 0.9, the response from the outside world was very enthusiastic. He went there to have a practical experience accompanied by Jim Clark and Mark Anderson.

After inputting the domain name of Americana music in the website bar, a music website with detailed content and basically composed of full text appeared in front of several people.

"Classical music website?" Jim Clark couldn't help laughing when he saw it. "How many visits?"

"Very little, very little attention."

Song Ya tried the browser, the operation is very smooth, better than the original version of UIUC before, the big stone fell. Click on a news item. About the recent concert of Chicago Orchestra, Yan Hong's comment function has been launched. When he reaches the end of the article, there are more than a dozen messages in the comment area. There is no need to register. The message users are anonymous and only show their IP addresses.

Classical music followers like to write long speeches. More than a dozen messages are longer than the article itself. Two different IPs debated the art line of two former Chicago Orchestra conductors and music directors, Solti and barrenboy. The content involved is very professional and profound.

"Barenboy! Is that you? "

With the last message, the quarrel came to an end.

"The website is very complete." Mark Anderson casually praised a sentence, but the expression betrayed him, this kind of technology bull certainly does not look up to the small website that delay makes in order to hoard land.

"I heard you were sued by UIUC?" Song Ya closes the page and tells us the real purpose of his trip.

"Yes, but don't worry."

Jim Clark said with a determined smile: "when we have absorbed the first users with the name of mosaic browser, we will change the name of the company and browser, and then settle with each other. I've already written the script. "

"Will that work?" Song Ya asked.

"We didn't use any of the other party's original code, so rest assured that aplus will be replaced next month."

"What's the new name?"

"Netscape, Netscape."
