Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 434 Pixar

To hell with Poirot, March belongs to science fiction.

It is impossible for everyone who likes Zhang Zhong to also like all his books, so there are some readers who only like a certain type of Zhang Zhong's novels.

Among them, detective novel fans and science fiction fans have the largest groups. Although they all support Zhang Zhong, they are also secretly competing.

The point of view held by both sides is that as long as Zhang Zhong sees that one of them has more support than the other, then Zhang Zhong's future creative direction will shift to one side.

Science fiction fans have been under a lot of pressure these days, after all, it has been two months since the last science fiction novel "The Last Starfish".

In fact, until now, the detective story party has steadily surpassed the science fiction party in terms of numbers.

"Ten Little Indian Boys", "The Snowman", four books in the Poirot series, "The Devotion of Suspect X", "After School", and even "Jieyou Grocery Store" were included in the detective novel party.

The Science Fiction Party strongly condemned the behavior of classifying "Jieyou Grocery Store" as a detective novel, but the Detective Fiction Party changed the term this time and changed it to a mystery novel, which suddenly expanded the scope.

On the other hand, there are only six science fiction novels, including "Ender's Game".

However, the numbers are not comparable, and everyone compares the sales volume. After such calculations, the detective novels are really done. After all, a single "Dune" can stand out from the crowd.

But some time ago, the detective novel party gained another weight, and that was the movie "Ten Little Indian Boys". No matter how bad your science fiction novel is, it hasn't been made into a movie, has it?The fame of detective fiction is destined to be greater than that of science fiction.And maybe after the movie comes out, there will be a counterattack in terms of sales.

Stimulated fans of science fiction, during this period of time, they went to leave a message under Zhang Zhong's Weiyu every day, expressing the hope that Zhang Zhong can quickly turn science fiction into film and television.

Now that "Ender's Game" came out, the voice became even louder.

They also helped Zhang Zhong choose, to be precise, arranged the shooting sequence.

Fans analyzed that although "Dune" has the largest and most complete world view among the few science fiction novels so far, it is too difficult to shoot. If you shoot rashly, it may be thrown away, so this book will be released later.

The story of "I, Robot" is too fragmented, and it seems that it is not suitable to be made into a movie, unless several of the stories are expanded or directly adapted. Obviously, there are too many uncertainties in doing so.

Among the remaining novels, "The Last Starfish" and "The Wandering Sea Ball" are both good IPs. Not only are there pictures, but the difficulty of shooting is relatively low.

Of course, if it is not possible, "A Bouquet for Algernon" is also a good choice. Although the sci-fi elements of this novel are relatively low, it is better than nothing.

The most important thing is that "A Bouquet for Algernon" is the least difficult to shoot. If it is really necessary to shoot, it can be done within half a year. After all, it does not involve CG images, and there is no complicated relationship between characters.

So the order of the fans is: "Flowers for Algernon", "The Last Starfish", "Wandering Sea Ball", "I, Robot", "Dune".

Now that "Ender's Game" came out, they were discussing how to put this book in the right place.

[I like "Ender's Game" very much, and judging from the situation, there should be a sequel. If it can be filmed, there will be a series of science fiction, which should be ahead of the Poirot series. 】

[It is estimated that it is impossible to catch up with the Poirot series. After all, the shooting cost of detective novels is low and the difficulty is small, which is completely incomparable with science fiction. 】

【I still think it's not good to put "A Bouquet for Algernon" in the first shoot first, to test the waters first? 】

["A Bouquet for Algernon" has low sci-fi elements, and there is nothing to test the water. 】

[Why not just shoot "I, Robot", it can generate many robot works, such a big IP,]

[The difficulty is high, the script needs to be re-created, the original plot is not very referenced, and the only thing that can be referred to is the robot core. 】

[You are all discussing about making a movie, am I the only one wondering when the sequel to "Ender's Game" will be released? 】

[I hope to have a few more books and make a long series. 】

……

Zhang Zhong also didn't expect that after the release of the new book, there were not many discussions about the plot, but most people were discussing the film and television.

In fact, the film and television copyright of "The Last Starfish" has already been discussed, and it was with Affleck, Zhang Zhong's number one fan.

If the two sides reach an agreement, "The Last Starfish" will start filming.

In addition to the film and television copyright of "The Last Starfish", Zhang Zhong will also contact Pixar when he goes to the United States this time.

Pixar Animation Studios is a company specializing in computer animation and a leading company in the 3D animation industry.

They had previously expressed to Chen Qing their interest in some of the fairy tale characters written by Zhang Chong, hoping to make related animations.

Zhang Zhong is very interested in this matter, but the two sides have not formally discussed the copyright issue. This was only the first formal contact. As for whether some agreement will be reached, it depends on the specific situation.

Of course, Zhang Zhong has another purpose for this contact. He wants to take Pengpeng to play. It is said that the working environment of Pixar is very interesting. Many of their animation production scenes are like a large amusement park with no limit, full of strange things. Wacky toys and eccentric staff.

And not only can you take Pengpeng to play, Zhang Zhong also wants to feel the other party's corporate atmosphere.

……

After the interview of "Opening a Book is Beneficial", Chen Qing sent the Qin family father and son back to the hotel, and then drove back to the company. He wasted half a day because of Qin Zhao today. He still has a lot of work to do. After all, today is "An On the day when "Game of Virtue" is officially released, there are still many things that need his attention.

After returning to the office, he first opened the computer mailbox, and a lot of emails popped up all at once.

Because special attention was set, Chen Qing saw Zhang Zhong's email at a glance.

"Hey, why did the boss send an email?"

When she clicked on the email, Chen Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic—the boss sent another book.

Chen Qing rubbed her hands, working for Zhang Zhong, she has such a privilege, every time she can see the work before others, and this time is no exception.

"A homicide that was announced in advance?" After seeing the title of the book, Chen Qing silently mourned for Zhang Zhong's science fiction fans. As soon as the science fiction stocks rose a wave, detective novels came.

　Thanks to [hsclaker] for the reward, thank you big brother
