Mark set an example, and others were afraid to blow up. After beating the producers, mark met with a big Jia, George R.R. Martin, in the office. This was to talk with him about the adaptation right of the song of ice and fire.

George r r Martin was born in 1948 in Bayonne, New Jersey, into a family of dockers. He is the eldest son of the family and has two younger sisters. At first, the Martin family lived in his great grandmother's house. When he was five years old, he moved to a federal public house near the wharf. According to Martin, his childhood world was basically limited to school and his own home. "After writing several chapters, Martin determined that his new book would be a long fantasy story series, and began to make a map of the story background and a character genealogy.

However, the writing of this book was interrupted for several years, because Martin was called back to Hollywood in 1992 to create the ABC reserved TV series "door", but although the pilot episodes of this play were shot, it could not be released in the end.

In 1994, Martin decided that Lao Tze would quit his job, put aside his work in TV dramas and quit again. He began to continue to create his own fantasy stories three years ago, and gave his publishing agent Kirby Macaulay the first 200 pages of the manuscript and a two-page blueprint for the trilogy series. Martin Xi Huan's ambiguous title, because he felt that this could make his works more profound, so he chose The song of ice and fire is chosen as the title of the whole series: the cold ghost and the flaming dragon may be the meaning of "ice and fire", and the "song of" has appeared in Martin's books "song of laiana" and "song of the dead", which is Martin's hobby of "song".

Martin also admitted that the title of the book was inspired by Robert Frost's 1920 poem fire and ice. Fire is love, passion and passion, while ice is betrayal, revenge and the cold and cruel dark side.

Martin originally planned to write a trilogy like the Lord of the rings with his idol Tolkien. The three books were named the game of power, the wild dance of the magic dragon and the cold wind in winter However, when Martin wrote and wrote 1400 pages of books, he still failed to complete the trilogy, which lasted for five years. Many publishers, production companies and readers rushed to tell each other that the pit of nearly six years had finally been filled in.

However, when the book was published, we knew that the story was not finished at all. This was only half of it. Uncle Martin was going to make two connected trilogy, which threw cold water on many film companies.

Volume IV, the feast of crows, was not published until September 2005. It has been distributed in the United States and the United Kingdom and has topped the New York Times bestseller list. Time magazine commentator Lev Grossman praised Martin as "Tolkien of the United States" However, fans and critics are still disappointed that the publication of the volume has made many popular characters not appear after the exciting ending of Volume III, but this time is too long. Many readers worry that they can't see the ending of the song of ice and fire in their lifetime.

Martin indicated in his postscript that volume 5 would be published within the next year, but the planned publishing date was constantly pushed back. At the same time, HBO TV network obtained the right to adapt the TV drama of the song of ice and fire in 2007, and invited Martin as a screenwriter consultant and producer (original version).

The song of ice and fire The right of adaptation has been coveted by major production companies as soon as it is published, but it is difficult to price the work before it is finished. Martin is a smart guy. He knows that this may be the best work in his career. Of course, it is for sale. If the work is not finished, wait until it is finished. He can't expect that this work will last for 20 years from the first release to the end Can not be completed, or even longer, became the first pit king in history, but also consumed the enthusiasm of the production company in the long-term ticket skipping and procrastination.

And the super popular magic categories "the Lord of the rings", "Harry Potter" and "the legend of Narnia" Different, it tends to be serious and belongs to medium fantasy, while its theme and content are more dark, bloody and violent. If it is adapted into a film, it may be r or even X. if it wants to be adapted into GP-13, it will lose its unique charm of ice and fire. It is difficult to adapt and limits its value.

There are numerous examples of failure in the adaptation of bestsellers in history. This adaptation of bestsellers is not a box office panacea for all souls. When Martin's song of ice and fire is so expensive, many people are not sure of its value and dare not start rashly.

In Mark's eyes, this song of ice and fire is known as the first divine drama in the history of TV dramas, and its value is far above the bloody war on the Pacific. The original HBO is the first divine drama in the history of HBO after four years of preparation and adaptation before pit King Martin is completed.

When mark "competed" for "bloody war in the Pacific", mark had let people contact Martin and his agent. Mm TV network also has its own pay channel, which can be broadcast on it.

This is different from other people's uncertainty. Mark is accurate and the bid is also high. Martin has already made a secret promise. After several negotiations, the two sides have reached an agreement. Martin will sing the song of ice and fire The film and television adaptation right of is sold to mm, and they are adapted into TV dramas. The adaptation fee reaches an amazing 10 million plus points, which is basically the same as that of the Lord of the rings. As for changing into films, we don't consider it at present.

If it's really a movie, many characters and plots in the song of ice and fire will be cut off, and the rhythm of ice and fire itself will be relatively slow. Once deleted, there will be fewer paragraphs that can form several climaxes and advance. It's estimated that two or three films will be made into one film, with the book writing speed of Martin, the "pit king" and "the slowest in the universe", which will be separated by seven or eight years, Who can afford to wait... And if there is no good bedding in front of this slow entry long article, the audience may not accept the world view of ice and fire: everyone will die, and there is no protagonist, which is also a great deviation from ordinary films. Seeing half of the protagonist die, the audience will think that this is the rhythm of god horse?

If you really want to make a film, it is estimated that only a small part of it will be drawn. The climax part will make everyone happy, such as the bloody wedding, but this is spending money to destroy the classics. Who would be so stupid? Who would be willing to do so?
