When tens of millions of Dragon Kingdom netizen viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked by the offer given by Hollywood Paramount Pictures.
Dong Yanling and Liu Zetao at the scene were not much better.
As professionals in the industry, their estimate of the film and television rights of "The Wandering Earth" is about one million dollars, and this is on the premise that it wins the Hugo Award for Best Short Story.
And the offer given by Paramount Pictures is already the first-line price of Hollywood film and television adaptation transactions, and on it, I am afraid that only popular series of novels such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" can be surpassed.
Dong Yanling doesn't think that these old Hollywood giants will be stupid and have a lot of money, so they spend a huge amount of $6 million to buy the copyright of a short science fiction novel by a dragon author.
"Can you tell me why you spent 6 million to acquire the film and television rights
of "The Wandering Earth"?" "It's very simple, we at Paramount are considering including "The Wandering Earth" in the list of the company's big productions in the next stage.
If nothing else, it will be directed by Christopher Nolan.
By the way, by the way, "The Wandering Earth" is a work that director Nolan highly recommends to the company, which in a sense also improves our value estimate of "The Wandering Earth". The
representative of Paramount Pictures did not shy away from telling the reason in public, and in the crowd behind, director Christopher Nolan quickly revealed his figure.
"Mr. Liu, I am very interested in the world view and humanistic spirit you have constructed in "The Wandering Earth", and I am also very willing to direct it myself and present it to the world in the form of a movie.
Nolan came to Liu Lang and shook hands amicably, which sincerely explained the reason.
Being able to direct a series of world-class directors such as "Inception" and "Interstellar", Nolan's sci-fi sense of smell is naturally keen.
The various elements revealed in the novel "The Wandering Earth" are very different from the European and American science fiction systems of decades, which makes him very eager to adapt it into a movie.
At this time, Dong Yanling and Liu Zetao finally understood, it turned out that Paramount had spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" that the other party was interested in in order to win over Christopher Nolan, so as to carry out the next step of cooperation.
With Nolan, the world's top commercial director, he is naturally worthy of a film and television adaptation script worth $6 million.
Nolan is talented, Paramount is paid, coupled with the publicity and distribution advantages and professional strength of Hollywood's traditional giants, "The Wandering Earth" is very likely to reproduce the glory of the original "Inception" and "Interstellar", which can not only harvest the global box office, but also win high-quality word of mouth.
["The Wandering Earth" can be favored by Director Nuo?! Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction is saved
!] [Do the little blacks still dare to speak now?Who said that "The Wandering Earth" was
a garbage novel? People in the world science fiction directors have expressed their approval, and if they want to adapt and shoot the work, can it be a garbage novel?!]
[Sounds good, but it's still a little strange, why did Paramount's representative directly announce the offer? Isn't it afraid of others competing with it?]
In the live broadcast room, many netizens and viewers were a little puzzled by Paramount's high-profile offer, normally speaking, this kind of copyright transaction negotiation is carried out in private, and it is rare to be so high-profile in public.
"This is a conspiracy of Paramount Pictures.
Editor-in-chief Wei, as a guest, thought about the meeting and quickly analyzed and explained to many netizens and audiences.
"The price is $6 million, let alone the rights acquirer on the spot, and I'm afraid there are only a few Hollywood giants in the world who can compete.
But this kind of commercial sci-fi production has high requirements for the director and production team, and there are only a handful of directors in the world who are sure to be able to shoot it well.
The sci-fi directors cooperating with several other Hollywood giants may not have schedules and may not be interested.
Paramount made a high price, just in time to show favor to Christopher Nolan.
If the acquisition is successful, it will happen to be taken over by director Nolan, who, as a top director of commercial science fiction films, does have hope to make "The Wandering Earth" well.
If the acquisition fails, it's not a big problem, after all, it's just an alternative to Paramount Pictures' next big production, and Nolan has to thank the other party. "
Editor-in-Chief Wei's analysis is quite thorough in analyzing the interests behind Paramount Pictures' high-profile offers.
Many netizens and viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly realized. Paramount Pictures does this, and no matter what the outcome, it will not suffer.
[One person wrote a bloody book, kneeling and begging Director Nuo to take over "The Wandering Earth", I want to see a world-class Dragon Kingdom science fiction movie in my lifetime.
Even if it's a Dragon Country script, the Hollywood production team can be a 'mixed-race'
one!] [To be honest, I was looking forward to director Liu Lang, but the opposite side is Nolan!
Don't worry, a fool won't agree, if I were Liu Lang, hearing that Nolan was willing to direct my novel, I could still get more than 40 million for nothing, and I would refuse if my brain was kicked by a donkey!
Although he is a professional in science fiction entertainment in Dragon Country, Editor-in-Chief Wei hopes that the Dragon Kingdom film and television industry can shoot a world-class science fiction blockbuster that belongs to the Dragon Country people themselves.
But the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom film and television industry for many years still makes him feel that this idea is not realistic at all.
Instead of ruining the IP copyright of the novel "The Wandering Earth", which has great potential, it is better to let Hollywood, which is more professional, take over, perhaps this is the best result for Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction.
[Alas, it is not so stable to hand it over to Hollywood, for fear of some black-skinned transgender gay vegan animal protectionist to be the protagonist.]
Engaging in political correctness in science fiction films, I'm almost disgusted!
] [The brother upstairs is still too young, do you think you can shoot anything good for the director of the Dragon Kingdom?
I can guess the plot, a bunch of traffic stars are in love while saving the earth, mixed with a few embarrassing jokes as comedy elements, and finally use the fearless sacrifice of the male protagonist/female protagonist to create some tragic elements and sublimate the theme]
[ , upstairs buddy, you know the Dragon Kingdom movie!]
The netizens and viewers in the live broadcast room are still discussing the plot of the future "The Wandering Earth" movie.
On the other side, after Liu Lang heard Liu Zetao's translation, he did not hesitate and immediately rejected the acquisition of Paramount.
