The Nolan brothers were very happy to hear that there were new books to read in the summer.
In fact, they are looking forward to "The Da Vinci Code" because Yu Dong previously revealed to reporters that this book is related to semiotics and "Holy Blood and Holy Grail".
These novels with a sense of suspense and mystery are the brothers' favorite.
Christopher Nolan picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, and then asked: "I heard that "Golden Dreams" is being filmed?"
Yu Dong nodded and said with a smile, "You are quite well-informed. Yes, the filming of this movie will start soon. If you have time, you can go to the scene to see it and give your opinions."
Christopher smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, no, we learned from it in the past. YU, do you have any other works that you are adapting?"
"If the novel is adapted... In addition to "Golden Dreams", there is also "The Martian", which you should all know."
Christopher nodded, "Well, I have heard about the filming of "The Martian", and I heard that the filming location of this movie is in China?"
"Yes, it is indeed in China. If you have the opportunity, you can also visit the crew of "The Martian". I believe Steven will welcome you very much."
"Besides these two, are there any others?"
Yu Dong shook his head, "There is no adaptation of the novel yet. However, several scripts I have written should be launched this year."
"I heard that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a collaboration with Disney." Jonathan said, "They are planning to use this movie to promote the pirate theme park. Last time I saw Johnny Depp's makeup photos, and I felt...
…Well, very coquettish.”
"Well, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one film, and there are several others that will be promoted soon."
Yu Dong has really written a lot of scripts in the past two years. In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean" written for Disney, he also wrote "Space Traveler", which sold at a high price at the time, as well as "Terror Cruise" and "Heartbeat".
"Well, I believe that any script written by you will definitely bring surprises. But I think your other novels are also very suitable for adaptation, especially "Deep Space" and "The Last City"."
Yu Dong looked at Christopher with interest, and he understood the meaning of this young man's words.
I bet this young man even came up with an idea for his novel.
This is not a strange thing. After all, Yu Dong's novels are very popular in the film and television circles. "Deep Space" and "The Last City" mentioned by Christopher just now are also favored by many directors.
For these two novels, Deep Space Company received no less than ten quotations, but Deep Space Company did not rush to agree because Deep Space Company attaches great importance to the development of its own IP and will consider many factors.
.
Especially for the novel "Deep Space", just by looking at the name of the novel, you can tell how important it is to Deep Space Company, so Deep Space Company attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation of this novel.
I had considered letting Spielberg shoot "Deep Space" before, but this matter has never been finalized.
On the one hand, Spielberg is currently busy with "The Martian". On the other hand, "Deep Space" is very difficult to shoot and requires a lot of time. Spielberg can't even take care of it now.
Now that he heard that Christopher Nolan is interested in "Deep Space" and "The Last City", Yu Dong smiled and said: "What are your thoughts on the film and television adaptation of these two novels?"
Christopher said with a smile: "I think as long as the things expressed in the novel can be expressed in the movie, it is enough. If it is filmed, "The Last City" may be technically simpler. As long as the props are well designed, it will be enough."
It can produce very good effects. But "Deep Space" is different. In addition to film technology, some physical technologies also require producers to learn and understand. I went to see Gene Thorpe's "Deep Space" before.
"A Brief History", that book gave me a deeper understanding of the grandeur of "Deep Space"."
Yu Dong smiled and had to say that Christopher had indeed made preparations.
"A Brief History of Deep Space" is not an ordinary book. After all, it is a popular science book. Even if it is popular, it is not as interesting as a novel. If you want to finish reading this book, you still need Christopher to be patient.
It seems that Christopher has indeed become interested in "Deep Space".
However, although Christopher is young, he always looks very calm no matter what he does or says. He obviously really wants to adapt "Deep Space" and "The Last City", but the way he shows it makes people feel that he is not very interested.
.
On the contrary, Jonathan, who was sitting aside, had a face full of expectation.
In Jonathan's expectant eyes, Yu Dong coughed lightly, "Since you are interested, you can also write down your ideas and make a script outline. If appropriate, you can also direct these two movies.
."
"Really?" Jonathan exclaimed excitedly, "Can you leave these two movies to us?"
Yu Dong smiled and nodded: "If the script is suitable, my novel can be adapted by anyone, regardless of whether the person is male or female, how old they are, or whether they have experience. Moreover, Deep Space Company has always been very willing to give young people
Given opportunities, we often use young directors."
The two brothers nodded. They agreed with Yu Dong's words. Deep Space Company was indeed willing to give young people opportunities.
Let’s not go too far, let’s just talk about the “Butterfly Effect” released last year. The young director Doug Liman was used for deep space.
Jonathan rubbed his hands and looked very energetic, "YU, don't worry, I will work very hard on the script after I go back and try to make a script that satisfies you."
Yu Dong said with a smile: "Then we'll see."
…
As expected, "Antfly" finally won the International Short Film Award in the Deep Space Short Film Competition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And it will also be included in the short film collection by Deep Space Company for sale together with several other award-winning short films.
And in the end, "Antfly" also won the Most Popular Foreign Short Film Award.
As Bi Feiyu said, "Antfly" still has advantages as a foreign language film. It is short and has no lines, so it can be easily understood by the audience.
When Yu Dong got the news that "Antfly" won the best foreign language short film, he was watching TV series with his father-in-law and others in Luoyuan.
The recently popular TV series "Never Rest" is also produced by Deep Space Company.
In fact, it's a replay now, and they have already watched the finale.
"Never Rest" is a very miserable TV series. It is basically miserable from beginning to end. The protagonist is tortured back and forth, and is killed with one shot in the finale.
Even after watching it for the second time, Chen Yuqing and Qin Fang still couldn't help but wipe their tears.
"Why is it so miserable? This screenwriter is so capable of killing things."
"Yeah, what does this screenwriter think now? It seems that he can't write a script without killing a few good people."
"This is an adaptation of a novel."
"The novel is probably as miserable as this."
Hearing what they said, Cheng Liye couldn't help but glance at his son-in-law.
When it comes to writing people to death, his son-in-law is an expert. There are no immortals in Yu Dong's novels.
Yu Dong kept staring at the screen without saying a word. How could he say anything about this topic? Who among these writers didn't have a few "wrongful souls" in their works?
Cheng Liye changed the subject and said, "Your company will have a lot of TV series this year, right?"
Upon hearing the change of topic, Yu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, "Yes, Dad, there will be more in the second half of the year, one after another, which can guarantee continuous release."
Chen Yuqing turned around and said, "It can't be such a miserable TV series anymore."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "No, Mom, these TV series have all types, some make people cry, some make people laugh."
"That's good. Although this TV series is good to watch, it is too easy to make people shed tears. If you watch this kind of TV series every day, your eyes will go blind from crying."
Qin Fang also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, shoot more happy TV series. Yanqiu is about to give birth. It will be good for the child to show her something happy."
"My mother-in-law is right. This is also a kind of prenatal education. It allows the child to be happy every day in the mother's belly, and he will definitely be happy every day when he comes out." Chen Yuqing said with a smile, "I will look back many times.
Let Luoluo take a look at the little toy, which will ensure you feel comfortable."
Following "Don't Talk to Strangers", "Love Across Time and Space", "Ooooooooh" and "Love Song of Stars and Moon", the appearance of "Never Close Eyes" directly pushed the reputation of Deep Space Company to a very high level.
The height of terror.
Even before the filming of this TV series started, people in the industry unanimously believed that it would be a hit.
First of all, its original author and screenwriter is Hai Yan. He became famous with "A Romantic Affair" two years ago. Moreover, the original novel "Never Close Eyes" was also a novel invited by the National Narcotics Control Commission.
.
Secondly, its producer is Deep Space Company, and now the Deep Space brand is very popular in the TV drama market.
So before the TV series was even filmed, many TV stations were already talking to Deep Space. The TV series was already sold out before it was even finished filming.
"Never Close Eyes" was finally broadcast simultaneously in the prime time slots of eight satellite TV stations, with a ratings of 6.2, which was a crowd-pleaser.
It is generally believed in the industry that domestic TV dramas have ushered in a golden era since last year.
In this golden age, the Deep Space Company is definitely the star that attracts the most attention.
With the relaxation of policies, more and more private film and television companies have been established one after another, and naturally there are more and more TV series. However, no other company has ever achieved such dazzling results as Deep Space Company.
Nowadays, these companies are asking every day how the TV series of Deep Space Company are scheduled, and strive to prevent the TV series produced by their own companies from colliding with the TV series of Deep Space Company.
But the problem is that there are too many TV series from Deep Space Company. Starting from the second half of this year, TV series from Deep Space Company will appear in almost every period.
However, even though the Deep Space Company is so strong, the number of private film and television companies is still increasing. This is because the domestic film and television market is constantly growing, which can not only support a Deep Space Company, but also support them.
In addition, while Deep Space Company "dominated" the domestic market, it also opened up overseas markets for domestic TV series.
Especially in Southeast Asia, in addition to several TV series produced by Deep Space Company that are popular in Southeast Asia, other domestic TV series are also very popular in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, in order to compete for the market, domestic private film and television companies are now also very involved. Although they cannot yet reach the production level of Deep Space Company, they all use the production level of Deep Space Company as the standard and constantly improve their own production standards.
In addition, there are many film and television companies that cannot beat them, so they choose to join and cooperate with deeper space companies.
Among them, the company with the best cooperation is Zhao Baogang's company. Their company now has a close relationship with Deep Space Company. "Never Close Eyes" was completed through cooperation between the two companies.
…
While "Never Rest" is currently in theaters in China, a new TV series is also online in the United States.
"Lie to Me" is the first real TV series produced by Deep Space America. Before, they had only produced a series of unit dramas.
In order to attract more viewers to watch the new drama "Lie to Me," NBC placed it after the finale of the fifth season of "Friends" and started broadcasting it at 9:30.
This did work. After watching "Friends" with great excitement, the audience couldn't sleep, and then started watching the new drama "Lie to Me".
And apart from the bonus of "Friends", "Lie to Me" itself has already attracted the attention of many viewers.
As early as two weeks before the TV series was launched, at least twenty celebrities posted updates on Deep Space Tribe, either directly or euphemistically mentioning the TV series "Lie to Me".
Catlin chose to turn on the TV at 9:30 to watch "Lie to Me" because she saw a comment posted by her favorite actor Will Smith.
At first, she was just curious about the TV series recommended by her idol, but a few minutes after the TV series aired, she was attracted by the rhythm of the TV series.
Mainly because the subject matter of this TV series was something she had never seen before, and within just a few episodes, she became interested in the study of micro-expressions.
The male protagonist is really amazing. He can judge the mind of the perpetrator through those micro-expressions that are difficult to detect. In Katrin's opinion, this is simply a kind of mind reading.
Can micro-expression research really go this far?
Katrin expressed doubts about this, but the filming in the TV series was so realistic that she felt that what happened in it was achievable.
Moreover, some of the tricks for judging lies in TV dramas are indeed very useful, such as the flashback method. Katrin tried it herself and found that there is really no way for a liar to accurately recount an event.
This kind of special professional drama made Katrin feel fresh and new, and the actor who played the leading role made her feel very good.
