Since it is still serialized on the blog, Andy Weir has obviously not finished writing it, and the plot is more than halfway through. According to Andy Weir, it began to upload early last year. According to the speed calculation, it is estimated that there will be no ending this year.

After flipping through it, he thought for a while.

Although not finished, the thematic framework of the novel is already clear.

To put it simply, this is a survival story in the wilderness of space. It can also be called "I'm a Farmer on Mars" or "I'm Growing Potatoes on Mars".

Yes, growing potatoes on Mars is the plot that Matthew left the deepest impression after reading this half of the novel.

"Grow potatoes on Mars!" Matthew said to himself.

Then, he looked again at the letter-filled document with the novel's title, "the.martian".

Literally translated in the words of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, that is, "Mars".

Perhaps it is relatively close to the earth. There are many science fiction novels about Mars in North America. The most typical one is "The Princess of Mars" invested and adapted by Brad Pitt.

This "Mars" novel has many plots, very similar to the movies he has seen.

In particular, the male protagonist grows potatoes on Mars by himself in the face of desperation.

Matthew frowned and thought about it for a while. The movie didn't seem to be called "Mars". The most memorable episode was the episode of growing potatoes on Mars, and because of this episode, he still had the impression that the male protagonist was Matt Damon.

right! It's Matt Damon! I remember the movie was to please the audience on the other side of the Pacific, and there were some shots of the space agency over there.

That movie should be called The Martian.

Matthew finally remembered the name of the movie, and vaguely remembered that it was a popular movie at the time.

As for whether "The Martian" starring Matt Damon is based on the "Mars" novel, Matthew doesn't know.

He didn't even know who the director of the film was, so how could he remember the original author.

However, the similarity of many key scenes should not be a coincidence, right? Especially the plot of growing potatoes on Mars.

This book may really be worthy of adaptation.

Matthew thought about it. He has experience in the two series of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games". He naturally knows that a novel is very far from being successfully adapted into a movie, but if the novel can be published and cause a certain amount of heat, There is also a basis for adapting movies.

Comic adaptations, novel adaptations and sequels to popular movies are undoubtedly the three main components of commercial Hollywood films today.

Original first-line big productions are very rare. To be precise, there are only a few people who dare to invest in top-level originals to play originals, that is, Christopher Nolan.

And all of these people have fully proved their director.

According to the information collected by Bella Anderson, the unfinished novel "Mars" is now only serialized on Andy Weir's personal blog.

In this case, he estimates that he can win the film copyright of this novel and even other copyrights at a relatively small price.

But getting the novel is a long way from adapting it to a movie, and it can only be said to be the beginning.

This is different from "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games". When he paid attention to the latter two, not only were they published, but they also gained a certain reputation and audience.

What about "Mars"? Three thousand readers...

An average movie ticket is $8. How much is the box office if there are 3,000 viewers?

Of course, the account can't be calculated like this. If you want the future adaptation of "Mars" to not become the original commercial film that Hollywood has always been embarrassed about, you must find a way to operate this novel.

At least before the movie is released, let the original book have a certain reputation and readership.

That's about finding a publisher for "Mars."

He still has no shortage of resources in this area, it should be easy to say.

The rest is how to hype up the book promotion, and the audience of hard science fiction is relatively small nowadays.

Maybe you can take the road of online publishing?

Matthew thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind. Let Bella Anderson get in touch with Andy Weir first. If the price is right, take the copyright and work it slowly later. After all, Andy Weir The book will take a long time to finish.

It is estimated that the copyright fee will not be very high. In this case, even if the film cannot be adapted later, the loss will be very limited.

As for investing in adapted movies, hard sci-fi movies like this on Mars and space, if you want to make something like that, a production budget of more than 50 million US dollars is indispensable.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help rubbing his forehead, so the opportunity to be delivered to the door can't be given up, right?

He looked at the wall clock, and before it was time to get off work, he called Bella Anderson and Helen Herman respectively to talk about the matter.

Both men expressed support.

The film projects invested one by one succeeded, and even the always level-headed Helen Herman had more almost blind trust in him.

After Matthew called Bella Anderson and Helen Herman, he continued to read science fiction novels, and suddenly discovered one thing. Now he invests in movies as a producer every year, which has exceeded the movies he starred in.

Regardless of his production ability, he is now a veritable Hollywood superstar plus producer.

Matthew knew how many brushes he had, and never thought about the position of director. Although there are countless examples of acting and directing in Hollywood, as a star, the resources and effects it brings will make it easier than others to achieve goals. , but in the world of Hollywood cinema, the director is not the pinnacle of the industry.

Stars like him must be eager for more power. In Hollywood's Game of Thrones, the producers at the top of the pyramid have always been powerful producers, and this position has become the "life" dream of many Hollywood celebrities. peak".

There are two main types of big-name actors as producers. One is like Matthew starring in movies made by other companies, such as the "Special Forces" series. They have more control over the right to speak and make movies that they want to make. The second is Of course, it is for profit. When you are your own boss, you can of course get a lot of money when you make money.

However, the two are not completely separated. After all, everyone wants to make money while doing what they like.

The former is okay to say, the latter is not as easy as it seems.

The greater the power, the greater the obligation, the greater the benefits, and the greater the risk of being a producer.

From the front to the backstage, it’s not easy to be a producer. Matthew has a deep understanding of this. Acting alone won’t work. When he was an actor, he only needed to worry about making a good movie; when he was a producer , but also to worry about too many things including acting in a good movie.

An oversight, wasted time is money.

Today, Julia Roberts has turned to a producer, Tom Cruise is firmly in control of the "Mission Impossible" series, Leonardo DiCaprio continues to invest in Martin Scorsese, Even Johnny Depp has set up a production company.

Matthew is undoubtedly one of the typical examples of commercial success.

Some people even say that he made the film company bigger with just one face.

Studio Thirteen is essentially a leather bag company, but more and more people are paying big money to acquire it.

However, Matthew has no intention of transferring for the time being, because he knows that the "Twilight" series will continue to be successful, and if the future "Hunger Games" and "Insidious" series can succeed, the benefits will be far from 100 million. U.S. dollars are comparable.

Bella Anderson's contact with Andy Weir went very smoothly. After Helen Herman introduced a physical book publisher to Andy Weir, and helped him contact Amazon to pay for downloads online, Andy - Will was very happy to sign the licensing agreement, and Studio Thirteen acquired the film rights to "Mars" for only $300,000.

Through Bella Anderson's negotiation with Andy Weir, Matthew also learned more things. In recent years, Andy Weir has serialized more than "Mars" on his blog, so Andy Weir will "Mars" as a stepping stone, hoping to use "Mars" to knock on the door of Hollywood and publishers~lightnovelpub.net~Andy Weir has been selling his novels all over the world since a year ago, although Blizzard The position of an executive gave him some convenience, but the ideal was full, but the reality was very skinny. He had contacted more than ten companies and publishers before, and all sales ended in failure until he met Matthew, and then died. Horse as a living horse doctor.

Matthew is lucky, and he is lucky, otherwise I don't know how many years it will take for anyone to be interested in a movie adaptation of "Mars".

Both parties can say what they want and what they need, and hit it off.

After winning the film rights of "Mars", Matthew returned to the "Fast and Furious 5" crew to continue shooting, and got another good news from Bella Anderson a week later. Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle have reached an agreement to sign on behalf of Studio Thirteen on the film rights agreement with each other for the autobiography of American Sniper.

The studio bought out the film copyright of "American Sniper" for a total price of 7 million US dollars. The copyright is valid for fifteen years, that is to say, within fifteen years, if Matthew's side shoots and produces "American Sniper" , and push it into theaters, it will continue to own the film copyright, and if it is not filmed within 15 years, it will automatically lose the copyright.

This is also a common copyright authorization for books or comics in North America.

After winning "American Sniper", Matthew plans to find an opportunity to contact Clint Eastwood to see if the old cowboy is interested in directing.

Originally, Chris Kyle suggested that Spielberg was a good candidate, but Matthew rejected it. Spielberg's war movie is too sensational...

Fast forward to May, and Matthew is back in Los Angeles for a big premiere of Iron Man 2 from Marvel Studios and Disney Studios. 2k novel reading network
