Chapter 929: The Value of Adaptation

Someone said before that the quality of this movie can be seen from the length of the applause, and Zhang Chu originally did not believe this.

Now after the premiere of "Just the End of the World", although the audience stood up and applauded, they could see that they were very calm, and the applause lasted less than a minute.

Compared with the nearly ten minutes of applause from "Farewell My Concubine", the movie seems very weak, I'm sorry for the audience's earlier expectations.

Zhang Chu also applauded casually when he came out of the system space. He wanted to leave now because he had a lot of inspiration about "The Lord of the Rings" in his head. He really wanted to go back to the hotel to record these ideas so as to avoid forgetting!

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Almost every author has a similar experience: when doing the rest, there is a sudden inspiration, but then he does not write it down properly, and then he can only fall into regret.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" is the final work of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is developed at the same time with two clues. These two clues run side by side, and it is easy to make mistakes if they are described at the same time.

When the Hobbit Frodo and Sam went through a lot of hardships to go to the Doom Volcano to eliminate the Supreme Lord Ring, Gandalf, who had already transformed into a white-robed wizard, led the warriors of Middle-earth to guard the capital of Gondor and fought the final battle between light and darkness!

Novels and movies need to undergo visual changes to achieve this, that is, to change the narrative subject.

Film art requires audiences to read, while novel art requires readers to read.

Frodo is a character who promotes the development of the storyline. It is his duty to destroy the Lord of the Rings. The entire work is in the process of destroying him.

However, Frodo in the movie has obvious personality differences with the characters in the novel. Frodo in the novel is full of friendship and always has a strong will. In the movie, it shows Frodo's growth process more, allowing the audience to see the growth and changes of the Hobbit, which is more real.

Zhang Chu planned to combine these two kinds of sex. Although Frodo was kind by nature, he did not go through many hardships. He gradually got tempered during this long and arduous journey and grew into a person with a strong personality!

In addition, there are many characters involved in the novel and the relationship is complicated. Zhang Chu plans to sort out the relationship between these characters so that ordinary readers can understand and be willing to continue reading.

Not everyone has the leisure to peel off the cocoons and threads from books. Many people read books for the sake of entertainment and to pass the time.

There is another important point that Zhang Chu also needs to be deleted, that is, when Tolkien described the war, Rohan's general recited poems many times, which was impossible to happen in a fierce war!

Although the novel is written in such a way that helps to shape the general's heroic sentiment, it does seem a bit out of place.

Therefore, this paragraph definitely cannot appear. To create a hero, you can start from other perspectives.

Originally, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was the most refreshing to read at one time, but the publishing restrictions were relatively large. You can't let every reader hold a book that was thicker than the Oxford Dictionary, right?

Therefore, they can only be divided into three parts. Now Zhang Chu has already thought about the content of the third part and just waits to return to Yanjing to write it out!

Now the conversation between the audience and the reporter and the crew made him completely unable to understand. He didn't watch the second half of the movie at all. Zhang Chu could only pretend to be listening carefully, just like his previous class expression. He has practiced for more than ten years and has been very exquisite.

After the opening show, most of the audience walked quickly towards the bathroom.

Zhang Chu originally planned to watch another movie, but if it was all like this, I really couldn’t appreciate it!

So he went back to the hotel directly, called the hotel service for a pot of coffee on the phone, and sat on the balcony with the sea breeze blowing or recording the points he thought of in the system space, so as not to forget it at that time.

Just as he was typing on the memo, the screen of the mobile phone on the desk suddenly lit up, but there was no movement. This was the setting made when watching a movie.

If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he would have missed this call.

"Hey, Uncle Zhou, is there anything wrong?"

Zhou Kang said, "I thought you were watching a movie. Where are you now? I want to talk to you about the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" movie."

Zhang Chu glanced at the scenery outside the railing and replied: "I just came back from watching the movie. I'm in the hotel. Just knock on the door yourself."

"Okay, I'll arrive in about ten minutes. Do you need me to bring something back?"

"No, I have everything here."

He had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that there was something wrong with this novel?

Not long after, Zhang Chu heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and let Zhou Kang walk in.

"In such a good weather, you are not wandering around Cannes, going back to the hotel to play with your computer?" Zhou Kang said jokingly, looking very relaxed.

"I've visited this morning, and now I've got some inspiration to record it."

If you write in such an environment, it is better than Yanjing, which is smog-ridden.

Zhang Chu was thinking that if he wrote a book in the future, he could come to this sunny and pleasant island, but there was a problem with his diet.

Zhou Kang sat on the sofa, and he opened his ipad and said, "Now the battle for your "Lord of the Rings" movie adaptation has officially begun. I have received quotes from several companies one after another. In addition, those small companies with insufficient capabilities have been filtered in advance by me. They do not have the ability to shoot a commercial blockbuster."

There are countless small and medium-sized studios in Hollywood, but they can hardly afford the investment in a large-scale commercial film and are not qualified to enter the market!

"Didn't you think about the movie adaptation after the trilogy is published? Why are there still people asking about it now?"

Zhang Chu was a little puzzled. The readers' feelings were not cultivated. How could they sweep the box office of movies and Oscars like in their previous life?

Zhou Kang took a sip of coffee, then felt a little bitter, and grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank it.

"People just think this is an excuse. The six major Hollywood manufacturers, including Disney, have already sent olive branches. They think the adaptation of this movie is very valuable. The series of magical works are simply tailor-made for Hollywood."

"They probably don't think so after they finish reading the trilogy novel." Zhang Chu muttered in a low voice. "The Lord of the Rings" was hailed as the most unlikely work to be adapted. It was published in 1955, and the film and television adaptation rights were sold in the 1970s, but it was not released worldwide until 2001.

If it is easy to adapt, it will be filmed in the 1980s and 1990s, and it won’t take that long to wait!
