Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

For director Hou Xiaoxian who came all the way from Taiwan, Lin Youcheng could naturally feel his sincerity and said truthfully: "If Director Hou Xiaoxian wants to adapt and film my film "The Devotion of Suspect X", of course I will I am willing.”

When Hou Xiaoxian heard what Lin Youcheng said, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He was naturally very happy that Lin Youcheng agreed to let him film the movie "The Devotion of Suspect X".

In his opinion, the novel “The Devotion of Suspect It's amazing.

"There is one thing that I might want to tell Director Hou Xiaoxian. Director Nagisa Oshima from Japan also wants to make this movie. I haven't replied to him yet."

In fact, Lin Youcheng knew very well that if the person who came to him was not director Hou Xiaoxian, but another ordinary director, Lin Youcheng would not go out of his way to talk about it. But precisely because it was director Hou Xiaoxian, Lin Youcheng would go out of his way to find him. Something to mention.

Although it is said that the island country and Takarashima can film two different versions of "The Devotion of Suspect X", one is the Chinese version and the other is the Japanese version, Oshima Nagisa has always been involved in the international film industry, so he might bring The film will participate in some foreign film festivals, and director Hou Xiaoxian is the same. Although director Hou Xiaoxian has not won awards at the three major film festivals, he has also participated in overseas film festivals and won awards at the Asia Pacific Film Festival. In fact, he has also participated. to the International Overseas Film Festival.

Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be somewhat awkward if two directors participated in the same overseas film festival with films adapted from the same novel. Even if they do not participate in the same overseas film festival, if they are released at the same time and then participate in different film festivals or film festivals, they will still be compared with each other.

If it is just a domestic release and there is no special pursuit of the film's suicide note or awards, of course there is no need to consider it.

Sure enough, Director Hou Xiaoxian was surprised when he heard what Lin Youcheng said.

Lin Youcheng is actually not worried at all about Hou Xiaoxian filming "The Devotion of Suspect X". On the contrary, he is actually looking forward to the version of "The Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Hou Xiaoxian. Maybe there will be special and different surprises.

Although both of them wanted to film "The Devotion of Suspect Finish filming your movie "The Devotion of Suspect X"."

Many times, the version of a movie that comes out first in the film industry will undoubtedly be called the original version, and the later version will be called a remake.

"Don't worry, I will take a good picture."

Zhang Jiefang didn't understand what Lin Youcheng meant, but director Hou Xiaoxian knew very well that Lin Youcheng was right.

Not only was director Hou Xiaoxian surprised, but Zhang Jiefang was also surprised that the islanders actually wanted to make a movie of Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X". It seems that Lin Youcheng wrote this story in the island country. It really goes deep into people’s hearts.

It is precisely because he knows Nagisa Oshima's status in the director world that Director Hou Xiaoxian was surprised that this island director would actually want to work with him.

But now that director Hou Xiaoxian came specially from Baodao, Kimurayamai didn't know how to make up his mind.

Zhang Jiefang did not know that Director Hou Xiaoxian and Director Nagisa Oshima could actually film "The Devotion of Suspect I can only refuse.

Of course, Lin Youcheng could understand Hou Xiaoxian's hesitation, and said: "I will tell Kimura Yamai directly. I think that if director Nagisa Oshima said that he knew that this film was shot by Hou Xiaoxian, he might not be sure. Filming will continue.”

"Lin Jun, I'll ask Director Oshima Nagisa when I get back here."

Zhang Jiefang looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "What about the island country?"

However, at this moment, Hou Xiaoxian was even more determined to make Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" a success.

Kimura Sani heard Lin Youcheng say that Director Hou Xiaoxian of Takarashima was going to film "The Devotion of Suspect The director came here to talk to Lin Youcheng. Even if Lin Youcheng really refused, he couldn't say much.

In fact, Hou Xiaoxian really wants to say that he likes Lin Youcheng's novel very much, and he will definitely make a good movie about it. In fact, he himself also has certain ideas about making this movie, although he is not afraid of having to deal with the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima later. Comparing the filmed versions, he just felt that if he had a certain ambition for this movie, director Nagisa Oshima also had a certain ambition for "The Devotion of Suspect X".

……

Not to mention surpassing the original version, real great directors will almost never remake other movies. After all, real directors have their own pride and pursuits.

Lin Youcheng smiled and nodded.

If these two ambitions happened to collide, it would be somewhat awkward.

Director Hou Xiaoxian looked at Lin Youcheng and hesitated to speak.

As a director in the film industry, Hou Xiaoxian naturally knew Nagisa Oshima, a well-known director from Japan. He never thought that Nagisa Oshima from Japan would also want to make the film "The Devotion of Suspect X". This is really surprising. beyond his expectation.

Lin Youcheng nodded.

Although Kimura Sani was a little surprised that Lin Youcheng agreed to Hou Xiaoxian, he didn't think it was too much, because this director from Baodao came all the way from Baodao to Xiangjiang to find Lin Youcheng in person. This sincerity was something even he could appreciate. Ashamed.

Kimura Shani looked at Hou Xiaoxian and said with a smile: "Hou Jun, then I am very much looking forward to your filming of "The Devotion of Suspect X". This novel by Lin Jun is very popular in our island country."

Hou Xiaoxian looked at the island native in front of him, nodded, and said, "I will work hard to film this story well."

Hou Xiaoxian naturally also heard that Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" was very popular in the island country, and it also won literary awards in the island country.

Of course, even without these, the fact that director Nagisa Oshima of the island country was able to find Lin Youcheng and want to film Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" is enough to prove how attractive this movie is.

Kimura Sani has obtained the publishing rights of Lin Youcheng's other three novels in the island country, which is a happy thing. Moreover, he only asked Oshima Nagisa about Lin Youcheng's film adaptation and filming, so naturally he can't say he is disappointed. , looked at Lin Youcheng, and said: "Mr. Lin, our Island Country Mystery Literature Association especially wants to invite you to the island country for literary exchanges. I wonder if you are willing to go to the island country?"

Zhang Jiefang on the side suddenly lit up when he heard this. He looked at Lin Youcheng with admiration in his eyes. He was actually specially invited to do literary exchanges by the island country. This really made Zhang Jiefang admire him in his heart.

If possible, Zhang Jiefang himself would also like to have the opportunity to travel abroad.

You know, that’s going abroad!
This is what many people are yearning for now.

Although Zhang Jiefang has not thought about living abroad, he is still a little curious about the moon abroad and wonders what the fullness of the moon over there will look like. Going to an island country for literary exchange?
When Lin Youcheng heard what Kimurayamai said, he shook his head. He had no idea about going to the island country for literary exchanges and said, "Thank you, but I have no plans to go to the island country."

These words were Lin Youcheng's true words. Even if he didn't have these carrots to take care of, he didn't particularly want to go abroad.

When Kimura Sanjing heard Lin Youcheng's words, he immediately felt very regretful, because he felt that if Lin Youcheng went to the island country, it would definitely cause a considerable response, and it would definitely promote the publication and distribution of the novel.

As a businessman, Kimura Yamai will naturally consider the release and promotion of the novel.

However, Lin Youcheng refused, and Kimura Shanjing naturally would not force it, because he respected Lin Youcheng's opinion very much.

After Mucun Shanjing finished his work, he naturally left first.

Hou Xiaoxian looked at Lin Youcheng and said with a smile: "I would also like to invite you, Writer Lin, to Treasure Island. Unfortunately, with the current cross-strait relations, there is really no way."

Lin Youcheng heard Hou Xiaoxian's words and said with a smile: "Maybe it will be okay in the future."

Hou Xiaoxian didn't know that cross-strait family visits would be opened next year, and he didn't take Lin Youcheng's words particularly seriously. He just nodded and said, "I hope so."

Hou Xiaoxian looked at Lin Youcheng and thought that several other novels of Lin Youcheng by Kimura Yamai would be published and distributed in the island country, especially the novel "Wonderful Things in the World". He couldn't help but said: "Writer Lin, your article "The World" I also watched "Strange Things" and I really liked it. If it weren't for the fact that this story was difficult to film, I would even want to film your story."

Zhang Jiefang heard Hou Xiaoxian's words and said with a smile: "The novel "Fairy Tales of the World" was not easy to shoot at all. In it, Lynch can rejuvenate his youth. If the fantasy scene was not shot, I'm afraid it would not look good. "

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

Hou Xiaoxian nodded. This was also the difficulty in filming "Fairy Tales of the World".

Lin Youcheng smiled. It is naturally difficult to shoot the movie "Fairy Tales of the World" now.

The key point is that Lin Youcheng knows very well that even if a director wants to film his "Wonderful Things in the World" in the future, he will need to think carefully. After all, the world in this novel is not small at all!

That’s right, it’s just not small at all.

Lin Youcheng didn't want to just sell the copyright of "Wonderful Things in the World" casually, because there are many real wonders in "Wonderful Things in the World".

Lin Youcheng knew very well what treasures were hidden in Lin Qi's life world in "The Curious Case of the World".

As for those treasures, he doesn't want to hand them over to others, and then keep them in the hands of other directors or companies, turning them into a world of wealth for other companies or directors.

Hou Xiaoxian just said it casually. After all, for him now, the most important thing is to successfully film "The Devotion of Suspect X". Not to mention that Lin Youcheng was the first to agree to him instead of choosing Oshima Nagisa. And if Nagisa Oshima decides to film "The Devotion of Suspect X" later, he doesn't want to be used as a foil for Nagisa Oshima's work.

He must film Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X"!
Hou Xiaoxian said this to himself again in his heart, and then said: "Writer Lin, I really want to thank you this time."

"After returning to the treasure island, I will prepare to film your film "The Devotion of Suspect X"."

Lin Youcheng nodded.

Director Hou Xiaoxian has reached an agreement with Lin Youcheng on the film adaptation of "The Devotion of Suspect X", so he will naturally go back.

Because Lin Youcheng is in the mainland of China, and Director Hou Xiaoxian wants to shoot the film in Baodao, it is naturally inconvenient. Moreover, Director Hou Xiaoxian himself actually has certain ideas about "The Devotion of Suspect X" and did not invite Lin Youcheng. Youcheng serves as a film screenwriter.

Lin Youcheng is naturally very aware that Hou Xiaoxian has actually won the Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He can be said to be a director who can both write and direct. Naturally, he also believes that Director Hou Xiaoxian can adapt and write good movie scripts, and I won’t worry about Hou Xiaoxian ruining the original novel by making blind changes.

When Hou Xiaoxian left, he naturally had to go to Xiangjiang first, and then return to Baodao from Xiangjiang, which was a long circuit.

"Dad, do all those uncles want to make movies?"

When Hou Xiaoxian and Zhang Jiefang left, Lin Zhaomei ran to Lin Youcheng, held her head high, and asked with a smile.

Lin Youcheng nodded and said, "Yes, they want to make a movie."

Lin Zhaomei looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "Then when can I make a movie?"

"It will be fine when you grow up."

Lin Zhaomei nodded and said expectantly: "When I grow up, I want to make good movies."

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Zhaomei running away after saying this. He thought that Director Hou Xiaoxian really shined in the international film world when his subsequent film "Sad City" directly won the Venice Film Festival. Festival's Golden Lion Award.

Now because of his butterfly, something is different.

I just don’t know what will be different this time.

In fact, Lin Youcheng knew for a long time that many things about him were different. After all, director Hou Xiaoxian had never made a movie called "The Devotion of Suspect X" in another world.

But Lin Youcheng doesn't know yet that "The Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Hou Xiaoxian will really bring him a very, very different surprise.

Looking at Hou Xiaoxian and Zhang Jiefang leaving the courtyard together, Lin Youcheng was actually looking forward to the world full of surprises outside.
