Chapter 192: Deep water

The author of "Jurassic Park" novel, Michael Clayton, is one of the most famous best-selling authors in the United States, as well as a very famous film writer, director, and producer. (Pinyin of biqiwu)

In the history of film and television in the United States, a total of three writers are the most powerful.

The first one is Michael Clayton, and then Stephen King is the same as him, and Dan Brown is slightly inferior.

Needless to say, Clayton, a book "Jurassic Park" is enough to make him famous.

Stephen King is also very powerful, "Shoushenk's Redemption" is one of his masterpieces, but many Chinese people do not know that this master famous for writing horror suspense, like Michael Clayton, almost every novel is adapted It ’s a movie, and it ’s very popular.

The third-ranked Dan Brown has not written many novels, but novels such as "Da Vinci Code", "Angel and Devil" are also very popular, and the adaptation of the film starring Tom Hanks is also well received Double collection.

As for Stephanie Mayer, author of "Twilight", Susan Collins, author of "The Hunger Games", Ronika Ross, author of "Different", James Dashner, author of "Mobile Labyrinth", etc. The depth of influence is still worse than the above three people.

Because not only is the movie wonderful, but also the novel, the three authors above are unparalleled masters.

For the movie that he particularly likes, Yin Jun will watch it over and over again and think about it.

If there is an original novel in this movie, Yin Jun will also look at it.

Not only the Chinese translation version, but also the English version Yin Jun will read it, although he often does not deeply understand the charm of English writing.

Take this "Jurassic Park" for example.

Many people watched "Jurassic Park" filmed by Spielberg.

But many of them do not know, in fact, the novel "Jurassic Park" is much more exciting than the movie.

The entire three "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World", intercepted the content of the novel, but only about 10%, and then there are a large number of adaptations of Gasser.

The fourth "Jurassic World" was filmed after Michael Clayton's death. I don't know if he participated in the creation of the previous script, but the previous three "Jurassic Park" were all adapted by Michael Clayton. Yes, so they are pretty good.

Especially in the first episode, many people who have never seen these big guys screamed and watched them. After they came out, they basically turned back to the cinema and continued to scream and continue to enjoy the enjoyment brought by the movie .

"Jurassic Park" novels contain a lot of knowledge, not just you, you can write such a concept.

For example, apart from the few aggressive dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex, the dinosaurs you see in most of the movies only have a look and feel.

However, in the book, Michael Clayton described the appearance, character, life habits, etc. of the 15 dinosaurs in a very detailed way. Basically, you can become a dinosaur expert after you understand it.

In addition to dinosaurs, "Jurassic Park" also involves very detailed knowledge of biotechnology, engineering, medicine, information systems, etc. It is not a person who has studied in depth for 3,578 years, there is no way to be so handy Use this knowledge, and such a perfect performance in the book.

Such a great book ...

Yin Jun couldn't write it.

the reason is simple.

He simply does not have so much knowledge.

Even if he has read how to write a book, he can't perfectly restore the details. Even if he can write it well, he has only about 60% of the skills, so it is a pity that the tiger is not an anti-dog.

Another point, Yin Jun actually did not want to write the original in such detail.

In fact, the original book has a lot of **** and horror content ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is OK, if it is placed in the movie, no matter where you are, you don't want to release it.

Yin Jun didn't like the content that was too **** and horrible, so he simply adapted the script into a novel according to the old rules.

Although this is much weaker in splendidness, it is also a smooth story, and it is certainly not difficult to write.

Moreover, what Yin Jun wants is not a good-selling novel, as long as he can hold the copyright of the novel and the movie in his hands, it does not matter whether the publication makes money.

Compared with the little profit of publishing, the profit of the movie is called a huge profit.

"Jurassic Park" is the world's first super blockbuster box office to exceed $ 1 billion!

Publishing novels is very easy in Xiangjiang.

It's just that Yin Jun didn't want to publish in Xiangjiang. Only in Europe and the United States can he guarantee his rights.

This publishing industry is not as simple as people think.

It ’s not Yin Jun who said, publish it for me. My book will sell well. If it does n’t work, I can get 3% of the royalties, or even not take it ... Then the publisher will publish it for you.

The publishing house first has an evaluation mechanism to discuss whether your book can be published, and how much benefit it has after the publication. It is not worth their operation.

Then, the publishing house is not a kind person.

Whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, those writers who have been pitted by the publishing house are not one or two.

Many people do not pay much attention to the protection of copyright, so they let the publishing house take the manuscript in vain, and instead publish it in the name of the individual, causing heavy losses.

In the end, because of insufficient evidence, the authors did not even get paid.

Such examples are really not too much before and after.

As long as it is a businessman, it is for the purpose of making money. As for conscience or something, basically it has nothing to do with them.

Of course, if it is a world-class publishing house, they care about their wings, they will not do so excessively, but they have a certain guarantee.

In addition, well-known writers will also receive preferential treatment, and no one dares to bully them.

But Yin Jun is absolutely impossible to put hope on others. He wants to control his own destiny, especially if he knows how much profit these copyrights will bring.

How to protect his copyright, Yin Jun discussed many routines in the future online world, but Yin Jun knew clearly.

This is in publishing, and in translation, Yin Jun must also find good people.

There is no shortage of English talents in Xiangjiang, even more than Singapore.

But if you find someone who is not reliable to help translate "Jurassic Park" and change your hand, treat the novel as your own and publish it, it is not impossible.

It ’s not that Yin Jun thinks too dark, but in this world, if you do n’t think about it well enough, someone will always let you know how cruel the world is and will give you painful lessons.

Yin Jun wrote himself ...

forget it!

He heard that there is no problem with English now, but when it comes to writing style, format, rhythm, language, etc., he knows nothing.

After the translation was completed, Yin Jun compared those dialogues with the movie version and modified it. It was OK to let Yin Jun write all the content. There is definitely no publisher willing to publish.

Yin Jun is not in a hurry right now, because Michael Clayton will only publish Jurassic Park in about 90 years, and his creation time should be after 85 years, and now only 78 years, he is certainly not enough To write this novel.

It was another award-winning killer-"The Redemption of Xiao Shenke", which made Yin Jun hesitate at first.

As Stephen King's famous novella, this novel included in his "Four Seasons" and has a subtitle of "Hope of Spring" will be published in about 82 years.

Maybe now Stephen King is already thinking, or writing.

Because there are four stories in this collection of novels, spring, summer, autumn and winter, Stephen King wrote them casually. It took several years to finish the four stories.

Yin Jun's rewriting of "The Redemption of Shawshank", whether it is written or in a profound sense, is completely inferior to Stephen King, if the novel is published.

In case Stephen Kim has already written "Shoushenk's Salvation", the fun will be great.

In this part of the United States, it is obvious who the American people, newspapers and courts support.

The most important thing is not that the novel is judged to imitate plagiarism, but Yin Jun ’s reputation has been ruined since then, which is definitely a great blow to Yin Jun ’s future development in the United States-who wants to be with a notorious plagiarist Cooperation? Who wants to watch the movies he made?

It was for this reason that Yin Jun decided not to write "Shenchenke's Salvation", but instead turned to write novels that were more advanced in time.

The film adaptation of famous novels in Europe and America ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is actually the dozen or twenty books that Yin Jun happened to have read and read.

Fortunately, most of them are works after the 1990s, and Yin Jun still has plenty of time to write them all.

These novels, like "Jurassic Park", do not seek great sales of novels, as long as they can be published smoothly and occupy copyright rights, that is the greatest success.

It's just that Yin Jun doesn't have to write all these novels. Like the script, Yin Jun writes the main content and lets some writers fill in and expand, so that they can get some of the novel's income. This is also a very feasible cooperative method.

There are also novels that Yin Jun can't write, such as the most classic Western fantasy novel in history-"The Lord of the Rings", which needs to be purchased.

According to Yin Jun's knowledge, the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is very complicated, and there are several protracted court proceedings surrounding it in the future.

In order to prevent himself from getting into these troubles, Yin Jun still has to plot it slowly after he has enough strength, which is the safest way. (To be continued.)
