Adapting "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" into "Han Bo and the Order of the Phoenix" is really a troublesome thing.
How does a purely Western magic story become an Eastern wizard story?
To be honest, Sun Peng had a headache.
Because he didn't want to be like "Han Bo and Lingshi", which was completely copied. At most, he would make some detailed modifications according to the setting set written by the university professor. Especially when Sun Peng saw the South China Sea
After experiencing the first two films of the Korean Wave series filmed and produced by the film company, which were completely different from the Harry Potter series, this idea of change became even more urgent.
So even though I have a headache, the writing process is also very interesting.
In addition to having to control the content, rhythm, and cultural differences between the East and the West, Sun Peng also has to work hard to incorporate what he learned from his uncle to make the language of the entire story more "beautiful."
.
From this aspect, uncle Sun Qicheng is definitely a good teacher.
Maybe as a writer, he can't write a story that touches people's hearts, but if you look at his literary skills alone, that is to say, from the perspective of words, the old man can definitely be regarded as someone who can crush and defeat Sun Peng.
Sun Peng has really learned a lot through these years of hard work.
And as he grew older and moved and revised more and more works, Sun Peng naturally came up with a lot of his own ideas. Whenever he successfully integrated these ideas into novels, and wrote
Sun Peng always feels an extraordinary sense of satisfaction when he comes up with a plot and text that satisfies him!
This sense of satisfaction is also one of the motivations for him to settle down and adapt "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
And this kind of satisfaction that is completely different from finishing a novel in the past finally reached its peak after finishing the entire book last night. As an author, Sun Peng can't wait to share this sense of satisfaction with others.
So today, in addition to Zheng Jia who can see the original appearance of the book for the first time, Lin Lin and Sun Ya are also Sun Peng's candidates.
"Beauties, you must watch it with "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"!"
After talking to the second sister, Sun Peng emphasized again: "I hope that after reading the two books, you can carefully compare their similarities and differences, and then give me a conclusion. Remember, this answer is better than this."
Whether the book is good or not is more important!”
"ok, I understand."
Although she didn't know the reason why Sun Peng did this, Sun Ya understood what he said.
Then after hesitating for a moment, Sun Yacai continued: "Let's do this, give me two weeks, and I will give you the results after two weeks."
"Two weeks? That long?"
After hearing what she said, Lin Lin curled her lips and said with a smile: "Haha, I can finish it in four or five days at most! And I guarantee that I will definitely give you a professional evaluation from a professional..."
"Hey, have you become professionals?"
Looking sideways at her cousin, Sun Ya's eyes were full of disdain.
"Doesn't it count as a professional from a film perspective?"
She glanced back with the same look, and Lin Lin said angrily: "Let me tell you, after all, we have made more than a dozen movies, how can we still not see whether there is any future after adapting a novel?"
"Haha, do you still need to judge whether there is any future in adapting the Little Wizard series into a movie?"
"Ahem! Okay, okay."
Seeing that the two sisters were about to start bickering every day again, Sun Peng suddenly had a headache. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Beauties, whether it is four or five days or two weeks, in a word, as soon as possible! OK? During the Christmas period,
The third part of "Little Wizards" is about to be released globally. I hope that when the third part of "Little Wizards" is released during the Lunar New Year, the fifth book of the two sets of books can appear on the shelves of major bookstores! Strike while the iron is hot, everyone.
Do you all understand this?"
"……clear."
When it came to work issues, Sun Ya immediately put away the disdain on her face.
Lin Lin may not care about these things, but as her cousin's agent, Sun Ya cannot care less. And she also knows that with the current enthusiasm and expectations for the Little Wizard and Little Magician series in various countries, it is very likely that the fifth book will be
To create a crazy sales record, Seal Publishing House and domestic Nimbus emphasized this to him countless times!
They have already been looking forward to the fifth book in both series.
Even before they saw the manuscript, the two publishers had already formulated a response plan on how to complete the editing, printing, binding and transportation of the manuscript as quickly as possible after receiving the manuscript!
As for the cover and layout design, they have naturally been completed a long time ago.
And the most exaggerated thing is the number of first printings of the fifth volume. The seal's light wheel seems to have passed through the air in advance, and at the same time, the number of first printings of the new book has been increased by half! In other words, compared with the number of first printings of the fourth volume,
The first printing of both volumes of Volume 5 increased by 50% at the same time!
This fifty percent means millions or even tens of millions of print runs!
That is...
Hundreds of millions of royalties!
So she solemnly put the two manuscripts into her purse. Sun Ya took a deep breath and said, "While we are reading, I will notify the two publishing houses in advance so that they can prepare."
"Okay, you can figure it out!"
After nodding, Sun Peng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Also, help me make an appointment with someone in the Forbidden City, and then find a time for me to go there!"
"Forbidden City? What's wrong?"
"I've almost written the script for "Captain China"."
Licking his dry lips, Sun Peng said dryly: "But to be honest, I'm not particularly sure this time, so I want to discuss it with the screenwriter and director from the Forbidden City..."
"Not sure? No way?"
Not only Zheng Jia and Lin Lin, but also Zheng Jia was stunned and sat up straight!
Lao Bai is not sure about his script?
Are you kidding?
Has Lao Bai ever discussed his script with anyone else?
Not to mention discussion, even if the directors who got his script wanted to change the details in it, this guy would complain like crazy. For example, "Mission Impossible" a long time ago was produced by Benma Pictures
In fact, the film was shot according to the script, but the budget of the film did not meet Sun Peng's requirements. As a result, the guy simply refused to cooperate with the other party again. It was not until Benma showed his sincerity that he was superior to others!
The only thing that can make Sun Peng compromise may be Steve Lucas's "Tomorrow".
As for other "semi-finished" scripts, such as some episodes of "Criminal Minds", it's not that Sun Peng is willing to let other screenwriters make revisions, but that he doesn't have time or is unwilling to work on it in detail, so he only provides an outline or
Just the original version.
This time in "Captain China", this should be the first time this happens, right?
Sun Peng could tell what they were thinking by looking at their expressions, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Really, I'm not lying to you, I really feel guilty this time! So in the next period of time, I will try my best to
Talk to them as much as possible and try to make yourself as at ease as possible..."
