This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 558 I don't even believe in punctuation (asking for monthly votes)

"You didn't sleep well last night..." Hao Yun was sitting on the plane and was very surprised to see An Xiaoxi's haggard appearance.

Well, it’s not an exaggeration.

Miss An is naturally beautiful, and her slight haggardness actually shows a kind of delicate beauty.

"I had a nightmare." An Xiaoxi wrapped herself in a blanket, turned over in the airplane seat, not wanting to look at Hao Yun's face.

"Nightmare? What nightmare?" Hao Yun's eyes lit up.

Recently he also had a nightmare, in which he dreamed that several Hao Yuns wanted to hack him, and he managed to counterattack with great difficulty.

"It was a nightmare." An Xiaoxi pulled up the blanket and covered her face.

"Speaking out makes me happy... ahem, let me help you understand. I've read books on dream interpretation." Hao Yun quickly changed the topic and almost said what was in his heart.

"I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to sleep now. There may be media waiting for me after I land."

What could An Xiaoxi say about this nightmare? She dreamed that Hao Yun kissed her.

Can I talk about this kind of thing?

You definitely can’t say that.

The nightmare was too real. After waking up, An Xiaoxi, who was always a sleepyhead, kept her eyes open until dawn.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I'll start reading."

Hao Yun was reading the novel "Life of Pi", which tells the story of an Indian boy and an adult Bengal tiger's 227-day survival adventure in the Pacific Ocean.

Author Yann Martel was inspired by a review of Brazilian writer Moisir Scria's 1981 novel Max and the Cat.

Max and the Cat is the story of a Jewish-German refugee crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a lifeboat, in which the protagonist shares the same boat with a jaguar.

"Max and Cats" should be a translation problem, Max and felines.

The tiger is also a cat family member, belonging to the Northeast Golden Tabby.

The German refugee and the Indian boy are indeed a bit too similar.

Moisil Scria said Martel used his story without informing him and that he had considered pursuing the matter but gave up after talking to Martel.

After its release in 2001, Life of Pi won numerous awards and was highly praised, being hailed as a contemporary classic.

The book has sold seven million copies worldwide and won seven international awards:
The book won the 2002 British Booker Prize, was named the best book of 2002 by Amazon, the New York Times’ Outstanding Book of the Year, the Publishers Weekly’s Best Book of the Year, and the Los Angeles Times’ Best Novel of the Year, and won the German Book Award in 2004. It was recommended by 7 other annual good books, including the China Times Kaijuan Good Book Award!
After the book was released by Yilin Press in 2005, it was recommended by many celebrities such as Zhou Guoping, Ye Zhaoyan, and Li Jingze.

Hao Yun has both the English version and the Chinese version published by Yilin Press.

It is indeed not easy to buy the Chinese translation in Germany, and Hao Yun must thank Mr. Dieter Kosslick of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Hao Yun has entrusted Dong Ping to go to Canada to purchase the adaptation rights of this novel.

A written consent from Moisil Sklia, author of Max and the Cat, is also required.

Just because Moisil Scria does not hold Yann Martel accountable does not mean he will not hold the Chinese director who made a movie based on this story accountable.

Hao Yun is cautious in his behavior and always doesn't want to take such risks.

The price of this worldwide bestseller is definitely much higher than that of "Little Forest". The two volumes of "Little Forest" only cost 200,000 RMB.

However, the novel "Life of Pi" itself is considered difficult to be made into a movie. After all, it has the three most difficult elements in a movie - water, children, and animals.

So there can’t be any sky-high price.

Hao Yun estimated that the maximum cost would be US$350,000.

He has already read the script.

The script given by the system is very detailed, it's almost like giving a storyboard manuscript directly.

So Hao Yun can easily judge the quality of this movie.

If it is said to be good, it is definitely not good in the general sense. Hao Yun feels that it is not even as good as "Let the Bullets Fly".

However, its core is about the relationship between "divinity", "humanity" and "animality".

If this kind of movie is made, it will be easier to win awards than "Let the Bullets Fly".

Hao Yun prefers "Let the Bullets Fly", but he doesn't mind winning a few awards at the three major film festivals or even the Oscars with "Life of Pi".

Without international awards, how can we surpass the old thief Li An?

That old thief always wanted An Xiaoxi to act in pornographic movies, not caring at all that An Xiaoxi was protected by Hao Yun.

This is too much of an act and will be punished sooner or later.

By the way, Hao Yun can also earn some high-quality treasure chests.

It’s not easy to earn money from high-quality treasure chests.

According to past experience, it has to be at least an international award, or the Best Picture, Best Director or Best Actor at the Golden Horse or Golden Image Awards.

The coolest treasure chests have to be the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, and Golden Palm.

As for whether the Jury Grand Prix, Best Director, and Best Actor have top-notch treasure chests, that is unknown.

However, just from the script, Hao Yun could tell that "Life of Pi" would not be easy to film.

We need a young actor. In the novel, he is 16 years old, so in the movie, he has to be under 20 at the very least.

Hao Yun is almost 24 now, and is no longer suitable for this role. Then, this movie has very high requirements for special effects, and special effects technology has developed rapidly in recent years. For the sake of safety, it would be better to put the script aside for three to five years before filming.

Thirty or five years later, Hao Yun was almost thirty years old.

It's even more impossible to play this role.

Finally, special effects mean spending money, and a movie definitely costs a huge amount of money to make.

Hao Yun doesn't have enough money to make this movie now.

The best way is to get Hollywood film companies involved and work together, and then release it worldwide.

"Life of Pi" is more suitable for the global film market than "Whiplash". Perhaps the global box office alone can recoup the investment.

Li An has now become Hao Yun's imaginary enemy.

The global box office total of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 2.13 million US dollars, which is a goal that Hao Yun will achieve sooner or later.

By the time the plane landed, Hao Yun had almost finished reading the novel.

He already had an idea of ​​how to make this movie, but he still felt that knowing yourself and your enemy would ensure victory in every battle.

It is best to go to the world's best special effects film factory to learn and visit.

He has now won the Cannes Best Screenplay Award and the Berlin Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement. Even if he goes to Hollywood, there are many film companies willing to work with him.

As the plane taxied, cell phone signal was restored.

Shi Xiaoqiang called.

"Be careful. The situation at the airport is a bit complicated. Clean yourself up and make sure there are no lipstick marks on your face."

"What a mess! How could there be lipstick marks on the face?" Hao Yun was speechless.

"Haha, I don't believe a single punctuation mark when you talk now. You'd better think about why you kissed An Xiaoxi before the plane stops. The media will definitely ask you about it."

While Shi Xiaoqiang was talking on the phone with Hao Yun, he was also cooperating with the airport in dispatching personnel.

He is sarcastic and mocking to his boss internally, making him work for free; but he is friendly to external staff, making them willing to do extra work.

It's just so unique.

"Oh, I get it, An Xiaoxi, get up! Hurry up and wipe your saliva."

Hao Yun tilted his head and took a look, and found that there was no saliva.

However, you didn't even wake up when you landed. Your sleepiness is almost overflowing.

An Xiaoxi opened her eyes dazedly.

When they were told that there were a large number of media at the airport, they hurried to tidy themselves up and keep their hair in a mess, otherwise who knows how the media would accuse them of doing something on the plane.

"Some reporters may ask me about the kiss I gave you at the award ceremony..." Hao Yun had to check in with An Xiaoxi first.

Otherwise, if the two people give different answers, it will be troublesome.

"I...what should I say?"

An Xiaoxi's head was like a mess. Do you want me to say that I did it voluntarily?
"I would say I was just too excited and couldn't help myself... and then you say that the film won an award and all of us are very happy."

Hao Yun is quick-witted in this regard.

Although An Xiaoxi felt that this statement was a bit like deceiving fools, she also knew that some official wording would be needed to avoid over-interpretation by the media.

"And..." Hao Yun continued to conspire with An Xiaoxi.

Feng Yuanzheng and Zhao Fei in the back row looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After leaving the airport, Hao Yun saw the lineup welcoming them.

Nima!

Old guy Zhang Jizhong is here to join in the fun again.

A huge banner read "Welcome Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu back in triumph!"

In fact, Zhang Jizhong has been winning recently. First, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi became the most popular Spring Festival Gala program among young audiences, and then Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's new movie won a big victory in Berlin.

It's all about topics and popularity.

《神雕侠侣》将于3月14日起在齐鲁电视台全国首播，之后重庆卫视3月16日播出，浙江教科频道3月17日播出。

There is almost no need for any more publicity.

Moreover, as the popularity of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi continues to rise, TV stations that want to buy the broadcasting rights for the second and third rounds have begun to line up.

In addition to Zhang Jizhong, the fan club also held a welcome banner.

Someone even put up a banner that read: "Congratulations to The Promise and Whiplash for winning two awards in Berlin!"

Hao Yun was stunned.

This is a sin. Is he my loyal fan or a hater? Could it be that Song Zu paid someone to recruit him?

You want Lao Chen and I to fight to the death.
