Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 31 Done

Michael Clayton's psychology can be said to be very contradictory. Although he has already written this idea and turned it into words, when he heard Fang Mingyuan's outline, it was more complete and detailed than his, and even in some places better than what he had considered.

After returning the complete story, he couldn't help but have the urge to tear up his own work. Perhaps as Fang Mingyuan said, he is not good at writing novels set in the high-tech field; perhaps as he said, for the sake of giving up

This idea and subject matter are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and recognized by more people. It is more appropriate for me to write it myself!

Although Fang Mingyuan only asked for himself to be mentioned in the preface, he is after all Michael Clayton, a famous American writer who can simultaneously serve in the Writers Guild of America, the Directors Guild of America, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, etc.

As a talented person serving in an industry association, Michael Clayton cannot tolerate plagiarism of Fang Mingyuan's works, whether it is his conscience or the care for his reputation. Yes, plagiarism!

In Michael Clayton's view, with the outline provided by Fang Mingyuan, as long as his writing skills are worthy of the title of "writer", he can write a fascinating and excellent work. Maybe he can write it well.

Better, but the gap is limited. He is not like some people, some experts and professors, who can shamelessly accept the results of his students without any guilt. So in his opinion, everyone's joint signature is already his own

Bottom line. As he spoke, he took out a stack of paper from the desk drawer and placed it in front of Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan took a cursory look and saw that it was the original manuscript of "Jurassic Park". Fang Mingyuan raised his head just in time, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Michael Clayton with a look of horror.

When Michael Clayton saw this scene, he was immediately very proud. He finally returned the surprise he had just received to Fang Mingyuan. He could fully imagine the shock in Fang Mingyuan's heart when he saw those lines of text.

!

"It's interesting, isn't it?" Michael Clayton shrugged casually, "It seems that we chose the same idea and theme at the same time!"

"It's incredible!" Fang Mingyuan blurted out.

"It's indeed incredible! Our ideas are so similar. If I hadn't been confident that this manuscript could not be leaked, and I also believed that you had no chance to see it, otherwise I would really think that you had peeked at my writing.

Outline. But of course I don’t think so now. Your writing outline is richer than mine, and the characters are more complete. In the eyes of others, they may think that I am plagiarizing you.” Michael Clay

Dun's tone was full of helplessness. He also thought deeply about "Jurassic Park" for a long time and made several revisions before deciding to write it. He was really reluctant to give up like this.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Such a result was absolutely normal. In his previous life, he not only carefully read selected editions of Michael Crichton's works, but also watched three movies and countless ethics reviews.

, some of these things praise Michael Crichton, and some criticize it. It has to be said that these well-known American film critics all have a keen eye. Of course, the advantages of "Jurassic Park" are

What they said was very accurate and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; but they also spoke clearly about the shortcomings of "Jurassic Park". Everything Fang Mingyuan said today can be said to be a reflection of Americans and even people around the world's views on Michael Clay.

It is a condensation of the evaluation of Michael Crichton's life's works. Based on these, I modified and made up for Michael Crichton's original work. Naturally, it was extremely targeted. Listening to his ears, I naturally felt that it was better than I thought.

, more complete and comprehensive.

`"So, I think it is a reasonable choice for this work to be jointly signed by you and me. Otherwise, I can only give up on it with regret. My self-esteem and my conscience do not allow me to enjoy this one exclusively.

Glory." Michael Clayton said sincerely but firmly.

When the conversation reached this point, Fang Mingyuan also knew that he could no longer refuse. He might really give up the novel in anger. "Mr. Clayton, if you insist on insisting, then I can only be respectful."

I obey. But I also have a request."

"Please tell me!" Michael Clayton sat next to Fang Mingyuan.

"All royalties for this novel belong to you, but the right to adapt the novel into a movie belongs to me. If you agree, I will agree to co-sign. This is also my limit!" Fang Mingyuan's answer made Michael Clay

Dun was extremely surprised. You must know that if they are jointly signed, then Fang Mingyuan will naturally have half of the film adaptation rights of the novel. Under this situation, if he insists on the film adaptation rights, he will naturally not refuse. What's the point?

We need to emphasize this now. Michael Clayton's works are best-sellers in the United States and Europe, and his royalties are naturally among the highest in the United States. That is by no means a small number.

Fang Mingyuan saw Michael Clayton's confusion and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Clayton, to be honest, I came here this time just to exchange this story for the right of first refusal to adapt your novel into a movie. To be able to have such a

The result, for me, is overjoyed, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you insist on giving me the royalties, I can only borrow your words. My self-esteem and my conscience also don’t allow me to do so.

Go share the benefits you deserve."

Michael Clayton stared at Fang Mingyuan for a long time, and then he laughed. "Okay, okay, since it's your insistence, I won't force it. Let's all take a step back. We will work together on this novel."

Sign your name, and then the royalties for the novel will go to me, and the rights to adapt the movie script will go to you, and everyone can get what they want!"

After finalizing this, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious. Michael Clayton stood up and poured two more glasses of red wine to celebrate the cooperation between the two parties.

"I'm very lucky, Fang." Michael Clayton said with emotion. "Fortunately, I didn't turn you away today. Otherwise, I would definitely have undue regrets about this novel. By the way.

, you want the rights to adapt the movie script, are you planning to put it on the screen in Hong Kong?"

Fang Mingyuan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I would like to do that, but I have to admit that maybe Hong Kong has a heritage that is not inferior to Hollywood in terms of gangster movies, comedies, gun fights, and action movies, but when it comes to science fiction movies,

, horror movies, war movies and other types of movies, the gap between Hong Kong and Hollywood is so big that it is embarrassing." It's not that he looks down on the special effects technology of Hong Kong movies, but in this kind of movie special effects technology, if Americans consider themselves old

Second, then no one dares to claim to be the boss. Not to mention "Jurassic Park" which was only released in 1993, it is the special effects in the "Terminator" series a few years ago. Two thousand years later, Hong Kong and

People in the mainland film industry can't produce those smooth and perfect effects. Foreign special effects companies have to be hired to produce the special effects of several blockbusters. If "Jurassic Park" was handed over to a Hong Kong film company, what would happen to the plot?

He didn't know this, but the thrilling visual effects would be greatly reduced. And without the jaw-dropping visual effects, the charm of (Jurassic Park) would also be greatly reduced.

But... Fang Mingyuan suddenly felt something in his heart. The first part of the "Terminator" series was in 1984, making Arnold Schwarzenegger a top Hollywood star. And the second part of "Terminator" is even more...

Pushing the influence of this series of movies to its peak. In the previous life, "Terminator 2" was Fang Mingyuan's favorite, and then it was "Terminator". As for the third and subsequent "Terminator 2018", it was different from the first two.

Compared with others, we can only say that one generation is not as good as the other.

So in which year was "Terminator 2" released? Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, the first time he watched "Terminator 2" was on a video tape. It should have been in winter, when he was in the second grade of junior high school...

…

Michael Clayton smiled and said: "Fang, you don't have to belittle yourself. Anyway, I know a little bit about Hong Kong movies. Although there is a certain gap compared with Hollywood, it is still different from other countries in the world."

Compared with other movies, it still has a considerable advantage. At least I think your future should be more promising than Bollywood. So, do you plan to shoot this movie in Hollywood, USA? Do you need me to help you?

How many directors or producers can you introduce? To tell you the truth, there are quite a few directors and producers who are eyeing my new work." As a nationally renowned best-selling author, many of his works have been published.

The writer of the film adaptation and a member of the Directors Guild, Michael Crichton, is extremely familiar with Hollywood.

Fang Mingyuan nodded repeatedly with joy. If that were the case, that would be great! With Michael Clayton stepping in, he would save a lot of trouble by contacting American film companies for cooperative filming. "If that's possible, then

Thank you so much.”

"Haha, this is nothing, just by the way!" Michael Clayton was very happy to be able to help his young co-author from the far East. Of course, how much of this was due to Fang Mingyuan

Only he knows the credit for that comment that went straight to his heart in the first place.

"So are you familiar with James Cameron, the director of "Terminator"?" Fang Mingyuan asked impatiently.

"That genius tyrant in the director world?" Michael Clayton was stunned for a moment before he answered.
