In fact, Lin Han is very familiar with scripts, otherwise he would not be able to win the award that serious domestic screenwriters are extremely envious of, so before November is over, he has come up with the script for "Immortality".
Xiao Zhou murmured to himself, and his mind began to work rapidly. Could it be that he wanted to use scientific means to achieve a great leap forward in human lifespan
Xiao Zhou immediately abandoned the computer mouse and made a please gesture with both hands. "Professor, what is the name of his new book? Can you tell me?"
Kong Daochun hesitated, "How long will this movie take? I definitely can't spend too much time on it."
"You can still write science fiction like this, Lin Han's knowledge is really amazing!"
"Just like testing antiques, using carbon 14 to test the age?" Lin Han couldn't help but said with a smile, "Can a living person's genes really be used to test how old he is?"
After finishing this, he said to Chen Jiaxuan: "Although it is finished, it is not the final version yet. The scripts are constantly revised, and sometimes they need to be modified appropriately during the filming process. By the way, Do you want to read this script of mine?"
Lin Han spent five consecutive days discussing the problems he encountered with these professors. At the same time, he also spent his free time studying and thinking about the plot of "Immortality".
Lin Han uploaded the novel and script to his mailbox, and then sent them to Xu Jiayan and professors such as Kong Daochun and Deng Birong of Peking University, which allowed professionals to find loopholes in the script!
She took Lin Han's iPad, clicked to read, and then got out of hand.
"It's okay to be nervous. None of us have given speeches in front of hundreds or thousands of people many times, let alone in front of cameras!"
Lin Han didn't take it seriously. In fact, he had already considered this. Now there is only a so-called bone age test. Biological age can roughly determine a range, but the protagonist's setting is perfect cell regeneration, perfect of cellular detoxification.
"Professor Kong, you have new messages on your mobile phone. Do you want to bring it over?" a lab assistant wearing a white sterile suit said.
"Professor Kong! Do you know Teacher Lin, the Lin Han who writes science fiction?"
"Immortal?"
Kong Daochun happened to have no class today, so he was in the laboratory looking at experimental data. He couldn't rush his research on DNA, which was boring most of the time.
"Theoretically, it is possible, because as we age, DNA will also age. The manifestation of aging is the reduction of DNA telomeres, but there is no way to correlate the reduction of DNA telomeres with age. technology."
Novels are mainly about narration, which is inseparable from describing characters, telling stories, describing character portraits and hearts, etc. However, scripts are mainly based on character dialogue, telling stories and expressing character's personality through character dialogue!
"Tsk, tsk, the spatial pattern is not as vast as those science fiction novels like "The Three-Body Problem", but it digs deeper into the depth of time and history. Do I want to go there?"
Kong Daochun's old and vigorous laughter came over, and he said: "The story is very exciting, but there is a big loophole. If I were a biologist, my first reaction would be to draw a tube of your blood to test your genes."
As Kong Daochun said, top experts and professors usually have many meetings, reports, and speeches, and they are already familiar with cameras and will not feel panicked.
Now that the novel has been born, it is obviously much easier to adapt it into a script. Novels and scripts are both literary forms, but their methods of expression are completely different.
Kong Daochun, who was sitting in front of the computer monitor, took off his reading glasses. He nodded and said, "Xiao Zhou, please bring them over for me. I'll see what's going on."
"No." Kong Daochun said with a straight face at first, and then his wrinkled face suddenly laughed again, like an old naughty boy, "I'm just kidding you, his new book is called "Immortality", and I can't tell you the rest. ”
The word document of more than 20,000 words slowly unfolded, and the large characters "Immortality" appeared in the center of the screen, and then it went directly to the main topic.
"Hello, Xiao Lin? I'm Kong Daochun. I just read the novel you wrote."
Mobile phones are not allowed in the real laboratory, but he is in the data analysis room now, so it doesn't matter.
"You finished it so quickly?" Chen Jiaxuan said she didn't quite believe it. Other screenwriters were just craftsmen who wrote scripts. How could someone like Lin Han finish the novel and the script at the same time
After Kong Daochun read it in one breath, he couldn't help but patted his thigh and praised it. This was indeed one of the best science fiction novels he had ever read.
Kong Daochun held his mobile phone. He glanced at Xiao Zhou and said, "I know him. He came to me last week to ask some questions about his new book. The idea of his new book is quite good. I don't know how it will be written." !”
A simple scene, but the topic covers the fourteen thousand years of heaven and earth. There is nothing too complicated, it is all tit-for-tat between lips and teeth.
These people all have different schedules. It is a big problem to bring them together for filming. What's more, Lin Han's crew has not been assembled yet. There are only directors and actors, and the rest of the photographers, lighting engineers, editors, and post-production soundtracks. .
After turning on the computer, Kong Daochun logged into his mailbox and downloaded the novels and scripts sent by Lin Han to the desktop. "The scripts are too high-end, I'd better read the novels."
Lin Han was originally standing next to his constant-temperature fish tank watching the slow movements of these tropical fish. After hearing Kong Daochun's call, he walked to the balcony on the second floor and said, "Oh, what do you think of the novel? Is it still interesting? The Dharma Eye?"
The faculty of Peking University is very large, and it is almost impossible to recognize all the professors from each college. Therefore, Kong Daochun only had a little impression. Since Lin Han can invite himself, why can't he invite others
He has seen that the name of the biologist in the novel is him, and the conversation between the protagonist Lin Han and the biologist is basically what he told Lin Han that day. It can be said that this character and him are a match made in heaven. !
…
Lin Han hadn't thought of this yet. He patted the railing and said, "Great! How about I prepare the crew first, and then contact your secretary to ask for the schedule?"
Kong Daochun didn't care what this man was thinking. He put his hands behind his back and walked quickly towards his office. He had to read the script carefully. Only in this way could he decide whether to act in the movie or not.
At this time, his mobile phone placed on the table outside the laboratory suddenly vibrated.
Everything that seems absurd seems to fit perfectly and cannot be denied. At least from Kong Daochun's personal point of view, he does not believe it is true, but he cannot prove that it is false.
Although Chen Jiaxuan had already heard Lin Han talk about the general storyline on the plane before, she still nodded happily: "Of course I have to watch it!"
"Don't worry, we are shooting indoors, rain or shine, and you are all playing your own roles. As long as you are not nervous, you will be fine."
"Professor Kong, my script has been written. If there are no doubts, I will finalize it and start preparing for the filming of the movie. Are you sure you want to join?"
Little did he know that Lin Han had already used his banner to lure several other suitable experts to his crew!
A low-cost science fiction film with an investment of 100,000 yuan certainly does not require so many behind-the-scenes personnel. For example, Lin Han can serve as director, assistant director, art director, and scene recorder. The remaining photographers and lighting engineers are essential. This is An important factor related to the quality of the shooting lens!
This is actually a short story. After Lin Han slowly wrote it, he discovered that there were only more than 20,000 words in total, but it could be made into a movie of more than 90 minutes because all the content in the movie was included in the novel. in!
As a biologist, he was a little reserved and couldn't let go so much, but he knew that this novel would be popular, not to mention that he also saw the names of several other professors, which seemed to be their real names.
Kong Daochun usually doesn't have any music records in the laboratory. As the big boss of the laboratory, he is very approachable and knowledgeable, so these young researchers are not afraid of him.
The entire novel is almost all dialogue. Kong Daochun saw the story of an "ordinary" man. Wang Yong, who has the ability to live forever, claims that he has lived for more than 10,000 years. He is knowledgeable about history, archeology, sociology, and paleontology. He has dabbled in science, genetics, religion, art, geology and humanities, and has interacted with many historical celebrities!
This was not a movie shot on DV or a mobile phone. It was going to be shown on the big screen in a cinema, so the lens was very important and he had to find a good team to work with.
Lin Han knew that this was already an agreement, so he quickly replied: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I have invited several other professors from Peking University to film with you. This film can be shot very quickly, and you almost don't have to memorize your lines. , this is what you have in your mind, you just need to let the protagonist memorize his lines. This time I invited Cannes best actor Xu Jiayan to shoot with me. After giving him some time to recite his lines, we can shoot, more Then a week, or as little as three days!”
Even if Kong Daochun has never filmed a movie, he knows that this time comes too quickly, "Will one week not be enough?"
After thinking for a moment, he called Lin Han to find out the specifics.
Xiao Zhou handed over Kong Daochun's mobile phone, and he was recording some results of the morning on another computer on the side. As a result, he accidentally heard Kong Daochun saying to himself: "Lin Han, this kid is quite efficient." Gao, you wrote the novel so quickly, I have to read it."
