Although it does not seem to be science fiction among science fiction works, the story itself is very suitable for film adaptation.
Of course, it is impossible to completely copy the original novel. After all, there are differences between the novel and the movie.
For Li Yi, adapting this work into a movie is not difficult, but it still takes a certain amount of time.
The original version unfolds from the third-person perspective of the male protagonist He Xi, but if it is adapted into a movie, in Li Yi's opinion, this is obviously not the best choice.
In fact, "Heartbreaker" is not science fiction at all - from novels to movies, the content related to science fiction is just a time and space shift back to the past - this is a setting that has been used countless times, and has long been ruined.
There is no creativity at all.
In addition, it is a science fiction that cannot be softer. Except for space-time transformation and grand unified theory, there are almost no words related to science. Even the protagonist's book "Microcontinuum Theory" is probably the author's one-shot
I thought of it in my head!
But what this novel and the movie present brings people to think - can greatness that transcends the times really only be a tragedy?
In this selfish world, there are still some things that are so pure and flawless;
"The Heartbreaker" tells us three things: the first is the love of parents; the second is the pursuit of truth; the third is the dream buried deep in the heart!
Li Yi began to adapt the movie script of "The Heartbreaker" and also communicated with his wife to let her return the favor.
In fact, you have to say whether "Heartbreaker" is science fiction or not. It does have some science fiction elements. There is no problem in calling it a science fiction movie. After all, the definition of science fiction is not that narrow.
In Li Yi's opinion, the most sci-fi aspect of "The Heartbreaker" is probably the future setting. It can travel through time and space, so the setting must be set one hundred and fifty years later in the novel.
As for the male lead, Li Yi plans to find an old acquaintance, Zhou Guo, to play the role of He Xi, and Lin Yunbin to play the "main point of view", that is, traveling back to He Xi's era from the future to witness the experience of this "sad person"
.
The story is not actually complicated, on the contrary, it is very simple.
But how to make wonderful works is probably the charm of movies.
Li Yi's movies are basically the most efficient as long as he starts them.
Of course, this time, we have to do some special effects. The future world, of course, has to look like the future world, right?
Li Yi quickly started the project.
When the outside world heard the news that Li Yi was going to make another science fiction movie, science fiction fans naturally rushed to tell each other.
"You have to be a dog director to reopen the door to science fiction in our Chinese films!"
"Well, Li Yi alone can't do it. Can't the domestic directors do more?"
"How about a Zhonghai Fortress?"
"Heartbreaker" is said to be a science fiction movie, but except for the time travel and the need for some special effects shots in the future world, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a feature film and a drama film.
Built according to the three-act structure, this structure is the most classic and practical;
Li Yi arranged a three-act play and set up fifteen plot points. The first few scenes revolved around He Xi accidentally finding He Xi's life 150 years ago, and using this as a theory, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
....
The same male protagonist Li Yi is also set to have the same name as He Xi.
"When the Grand Unification Field is solved, the problem that has troubled mankind for more than a hundred years can be solved! Time travel can be realized!"
Of course, He Xi 150 years later wanted to see the founder of this theory. After the time machine was invented, he traveled 150 years ago and saw He Xi as a bystander...
Just as he imagined, he was a slovenly theoretical scholar, which was probably the impression many people had of this type of "sad person".
Therefore, although it is science fiction, the future world occupies a very small space, and the larger space revolves around He Xilai 150 years ago.
It really doesn't take much time.
The actors Li Yi invited were all top-notch, so there was no need for Li Yi to worry about their acting skills.
The filming of the movie started soon and the shooting went very smoothly. Of course, because he was in a hurry, Li Yi tried his best to shorten unnecessary time expenditure.
Although there is no reference to the original movie, Li Yi actually doesn't need to do it now because there are not many places in this movie that require difficult techniques.
When telling a story, you just have to tell it carefully and well, and Li Yi edited while filming. When the filming was almost completed, the editing work was almost completed.
Finally, on the eve of the Science Fiction Film Festival, "Heartbreaker" was officially announced to be completed.
The Science Fiction Film Festival officially opens. As the biggest gimmick of this year's Science Fiction Film Festival, "Heartbreaker" is also the opening film. It is also a work by the internationally renowned director Li Yi. It has naturally attracted the attention of countless filmmakers and fans from all over the world.
focus on.
This is not the first movie that Li Yi has made without the original work as a reference, but it is the film that Li Yi is most satisfied with without the original work as a reference.
The movie started showing quickly.
The movie theater is packed with seats
Liu Fei, Du Xianghai and other die-hard fans of Li Yi also appeared here.
Soon as the big screen lit up and the subtitles of director Li Yi's work appeared, the whole audience applauded in unison.
Now Li Yi's name has become the most hard-core brand name.
The future world that first appeared in the picture was filled with tall buildings and countless speeding cars driving in the sky. Suddenly a speeding car drove over from the sky, and sitting in the car was He Xi played by Lin Yunbin!
He Xizhen was reading a book with her glasses on, and suddenly the autonomous driving system prompted: "I have your phone number, it's your wife!"
"Connected!"
Lin Yunbin raised his head, a light screen appeared, and a beautiful-looking woman appeared on it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "My mother and others are coming over today, and I have to pick them up. You go pick up the child, don't forget it!"
Lin Yunbin replied: "Don't worry, I'm on my way to Yuying Primary School."
"That's good, I won't tell you any more and we're leaving!" After the wife finished speaking, the light curtain closed.
Soon, the speed car arrived at its destination.
It landed from the sky and landed firmly at the door of Yuying Primary School!
Lin Yunbin got out of the car and walked into the school because the students had not finished school yet.
On campus, an old library building was about to be demolished, and many bookshelves were placed in the playground. This caught Lin Yunbin's attention. He curiously walked to the bookshelf and searched slowly to see if there were any books he could read. When
He walked to the corner of the bookshelf and suddenly saw a set of books in a sealed bag.
He glanced at the title of the book "Microcontinuous Original" curiously, and the title immediately aroused his interest.
Xin Hand opened the sealed bag and turned to the title page. There was an introduction to the author on the edge of the book, with the author's information and a photo. The introduction read: "He Xi, male, born in 1975, Han nationality. Graduated from Sichuan
University Mathematics Department…”
"What evening? Such a coincidence?" He couldn't help but be a little surprised by having the same name.
I turned to the publication date of the book, which read the first edition in May 2001. I was surprised: "This book has been in the library for 150 years, and it has not even been opened in the sealed bag!"
This has also made many viewers curious. Why is a book that has been stored in a library for more than a hundred years without even opening the sealed bag?
After all, there is no "Heartbreaker" novel in this world, so for the audience, everything is novel.
He Xi, played by Lin Yunbin, opened the book and slowly flipped through the pages. His expression quickly became solemn, his hands began to tremble, and he murmured: "The grand unified theory is impossible! How is this possible? What a joke!"
He continued to turn back, and the more he turned, the more he was shocked, and then he was ecstatic. In the end, he completely lost control and shouted like a madman: "I found it, it's really a grand unified theory! It's really a grand unified theory!"
"
Everyone around looked at the crazy Lin Yunbin as if they were crazy. His movements naturally alerted the school security guards, who quickly ran over and expelled him from the school.
Lin Yunbin, however, held the set of "Microcontinuity Originals" as if he had found a treasure, and dialed the phone tremblingly: "Honey, come pick up the child. I have something very important now and I must rush back to the laboratory right away!"
Seeing her husband in front of the light curtain who was distracted but ecstatic, she seemed a little confused: "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you, I'm going to pick up my mother!"
But Lin Yunbin, who was anxious at this moment, suddenly shouted: "I have found the grand unified theory! The answer to the problem that has troubled mankind for more than a hundred years is in my hands. Now I must rush back to the laboratory immediately!"
Before his wife could react, he hung up the phone.
Then he didn't care about picking up the child. He held the book and the car door opened automatically.
"Go back to the laboratory! The shortest time possible!"
"Please fasten your seat belts and get ready to go!"
The autopilot system drove quickly, and the speeding car took off into the air and ran wildly through the air.
Suddenly he saw the author's name on the cover of the book again, and quickly gave the order: "Search for He Xi, why the He, the sunset of the sunset! Mathematician, born in 1975, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Sichuan University, and authored "Microcontinuum"
original"!"
After a brief silence, the intelligent system replied: "There is no relevant information, there is no mathematician named He Xi, and there is no "Microcontinuum Original"!"
Lin Yunbin frowned instinctively: "No?"
"Yes, no relevant information was retrieved!"
The camera switched, and a newspaper appeared on the screen, which clearly read: "Professor He Xi solves the Grand Unification Field and breaks through the problems that have plagued mankind for more than a hundred years!"
Another newspaper appeared: "He Xi: Real time travel is possible!"
The screen switched again, it was an interview show.
In the program, an old professor with white hair said with a very serious expression: "I started to get involved in this field thirty years ago. Seventeen years ago I understood the Grand Unified Theory in a physical sense, but I encountered an insurmountable obstacle.
Obstacles. Not only me, there are many people who have achieved this step, but can no longer take a step forward! Until Professor He Xi appeared. He solved this problem that has plagued the scientific community for more than a hundred years! This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics
, it has to be him!”
The audience understood the story.
He Xi, also known as Lin Yunbin, plays a scientist one hundred and fifty years later. Coincidentally, the project he researched has troubled countless scientific circles one hundred and fifty years later, but as a result, it turned out to be a problem one hundred and fifty years ago.
This theory has been proposed and books published.
The key is, the name is also He Xi!
At the same time, the foreshadowing laid before also made the audience curious, why was the research that appeared 150 years ago only to be discovered 150 years later and guided them to confirm it?
At the same time, why has that important book been buried in a primary school library for more than a hundred years?
You know, this kind of problem that is troubled by the scientific community, such a profound book is actually placed in the library of a primary school. Why on earth is this?
Obviously, He Xi was also wondering, why?
It is a pity that the relevant information cannot be retrieved from the database. After all, one hundred and fifty years have passed.
So, he found people from the government and tried to use them to find information about the scientist who had the same name as him a hundred and fifty years ago.
"Professor He. Based on the information you provided, we found relevant information about this person named He Xi. But you also know that ordinary people 150 years ago left very little information!" A middle-aged man who looked like an official put a
He handed the document bag to He Xi and said.
Lin Yunbin said politely: "Director Xu, thank you very much!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You're welcome!" Director Xu said with a smile.
After coming out of the office building, he opened the document bag, which contained some written information and two yellowed photos. One was of a young and beautiful woman sitting on a bench in the park holding her fat son who had just turned one year old.
There is a happy and yearning smile on her face. In another photo, the young woman is already an old woman in her final years. She is holding a comb and combing the hair of her bearded middle-aged man with dementia, her eyes full of love and affection.
This scene once again deepened the audience's doubts and gave them some guesses and questions.
Obviously, the child in the photo should be that He Xi a hundred and fifty years ago, but why did it become like that?
What happened? To make a genius scientist become like that?
Lin Yunbin opened the "Micro Continuous Original" again and looked at the middle-aged man in the photo. It was indeed He Xi. His brows furrowed and he slowly looked through He Xi's information. He quickly saw "2004
He suffered a schizophrenia in April 2016 and was sent to a mental hospital until his death in 2025." The address of the mental hospital was on the information. He immediately asked the intelligent system to check and found that the mental hospital still existed, and immediately drove to the mental hospital.
"Isn't it? One hundred and fifty years later, the mental hospital is still there?" Some viewers couldn't help but find fault.
Well, actually this is indeed a small flaw. Who can keep a mental hospital open for so long?
But this is just a minor flaw that is insignificant. For the needs of the plot, the screenwriter has the final say!
Otherwise, you won’t be able to take the photo!
Of course, more viewers are still wondering, why is that He Xi admitted to a mental hospital? Isn't he a scientist? He can write a book like "Microcontinuity Original" that the scientist He Xi will find a treasure 150 years later.
How could a scientist be so depressed? Even die young?
