Martin is very satisfied with the conditions offered by mark. The adaptation right alone is 10 million. MM's investment will never be small. He is in the name of screenwriter and producer, but he doesn't want to interfere with the crew. What he has to do is put his money in the bank.

He swore to mark that he would complete the six series before the TV series appeared on the market.

Mark said he didn't believe it. The inspiration in 1993 didn't write the fourth book until 2005. It's been 12 years and one in three years. Before Mark was bombed through, the king of the pit didn't finish writing. All the TV dramas were finished and the novel was still writing.

Martin also knew his problem. He said he could hand over the outline of the story. Even if he hung up B three times or accidentally hung up B, mark could ask someone to finish the work without ending the work.

In fact, the original version is like this. When the four novels that have been published have been shot, Martin can't hold a fart. He had to tell the story to the two screenwriters, let them write and make up the story first, and let the crew shoot it first, while he continued to think in isolation and called it slow work.

Mark knew this guy's pee, so he would force him to make a promise. But he also knew that Martin's gentle turtle speed could not squeeze oil out of the stone. He had to ask him to write an outline of the story first to prevent this from happening.

Martin readily agreed to this point. If we describe him as a turtle speed, mark is a rocket speed. He appreciates mark. Are you peers in Bi Jing? He gave mark the right to adapt the song of ice and fire. On the one hand, he offered a high price, on the other hand, he helped Mark's younger generation. As he said himself, mark has the identity of writer, screenwriter and producer, which is consistent with his Martin identity. In his words, everyone is not an outsider.

George Martin's song of ice and fire has a landmark and far-reaching impact in the field of contemporary scientific fantasy literature. This book was published in 1996. Once published, it quickly became popular in the American literary world with its grand pattern, scattered structure and plump and hierarchical character setting.

Real history, myths and legends, man and God, reality and deduction are mixed together to present a real and false fantasy world, a gorgeous and huge hero elegy, and the writing perspective of the characters have laid a lot of foreshadowing for the whole book. At the beginning, it is hazy and ethereal. In the process of reading, there will be a feeling of removing the clouds and seeing the bright moon; At the same time, it also plays down the concept of time. In fact, it gradually promotes the process of the story with the fate of different characters.

"Song of ice and fire" and "the Lord of the rings" are both excellent and outstanding top works. We can't simply say who is better than who. The Lord of the rings shows more colorful fantasy world, strange and wonderful exploration and grand war scenes. Its theme of resisting tyrants is slightly monotonous, and its fans are mainly young people in their teens to thirties.

The song of ice and fire is more like a grand historical play. By making up a complex power struggle game in a miniature world, it reveals the truth that everyone is an ant and power is eternal. It not only fully exposes the cruelty, greed, darkness and metamorphosis of human nature, but also advocates the integrity, loyalty, courage, compassion and tolerance of human nature, Its fans are more people in their thirties and sixties who have certain social experience and are more willing to explore human nature.

Now the Lord of the rings has fallen into the hands of the new line, and has completed the adaptation, which has achieved great success. Now its prequel the Hobbit is highly praised. Almost all the ring fans are waiting for it to be adapted and put on the big screen. One day, this fat meat has mm's share, but MGM and the new line can't help each other.

The new line was sued by Peter the great and finally settled out of court with $200 million. They hated Peter the great and vowed not to let him touch the hobbit. They also spent a lot of money on the adaptation of the golden compass of the dark matter trilogy to eliminate the dependence and influence on Peter the great. However, MGM strongly supported Peter the great and claimed that there was no ring without Peter, Refused to replace the camera on the new line, so the project is deadlocked at present.

Getting the right to adapt the song of ice and fire will expand their influence in the field of cable payment. Mark is in a good mood. This is the project he really wants. He competed with several companies and won it after several negotiations, while the bloody war in the Pacific is a shot. When he sees the wind is wrong, he immediately gives up and gives it to HBO and DreamWorks.

Paramount, DreamWorks, HBO and Fox television network all participated in the bidding for the song of ice and fire. Some people also persuaded mark to quit or cooperate together. Mark resolutely refused, continuously raised the quotation, sent a batch of lobbyists, and finally won the project.

Martin was in a good mood and invited mark to the bar for a few drinks. Mark readily agreed. Although Martin was a slow man who couldn't fart with a stick, mark advocated high speed and efficiency and was an acute man, they had a good talk.

In particular, some of Mark's adaptation suggestions made Martin feel that he did not sell the wrong image if he was informed. Mark's suggestion was to copy the HBO version of the game of machine power. This was a work that Martin personally guided the screenwriter to complete. Of course, it poked his G-spot, which made him very happy.

They came to a rather remote private bar in Carver? Sitting on the bar, ordered two beers, ordered a plate of potato chips and peanuts, and drank happily.

As soon as Martin entered the bar? He got up and twisted his fat ass and clumsy body along with the beat of the booming music. As soon as he got into the wine, he kept greeting the people here, touching his fist and sitting on the bar. The bartender didn't ask. He directly brought two blue ribbons or cups, and let them blow at the bottle. It was obviously an old familiar look.

Martin beamed and said, "I love the style of your song and dance youth, but don't make the song of ice and fire in this style."

Mark thought Tucao: "I am not a third brother!" he said, "Batman fighting time" can best reflect my hobbies and styles, but I will not make complaints about the song of ice and fire, at least for now.

Martin said, "what a pity!"

Mark said: "I never thought that I was omnipotent, but I might be the producer and choose the right director and actor for him to make a classic."

Martin patted mark on the shoulder and said:“

Martin said with a smile: "I believe this. You won't joke about the adaptation right bought by 10 million. I like you and believe in your team. You can let go. I won't compete with your director for power."

Mark was overjoyed and touched the cup with Martin. This guy was slow, but he was also a straightforward man with a clear meaning.

If you make a list of writers who have been "injured" in Hollywood editing rooms, there must be a long list of names: Anthony Burgess and Stephen King do not like Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of their works. The former is the author of clockwork orange and the latter is flash Alan Moore, the cartoonist, despised the film adaptation of all his works, and even refused to accept the royalties of the catcher and the v-word vendetta.

After the film Charlie and the chocolate factory, the writer Roland Dahl criticized the director Mel Stewart for "no talent". Truman Capote also held a negative attitude towards the film Tiffany's breakfast. He originally asked Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly, but the director finally chose Audrey Hepburn.

The novel American psychopath by Brett Easton Ellis was directed by Mary Harlan and made into a film. The protagonist Patrick Bateman's words can be used to express the author's dissatisfaction with the director: "The medium of film needs a male perspective. We watch it and we are aroused by vision. I don't think women are enough to complete this work. They are natural."

At the heart of Hollywood's cold and heartless heart, money is the king: as long as you can make money, you can change books. J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the Lord of the rings, knows this well. When the film and television adaptation rights of novels were first sold, he was outspoken in a letter to the publisher. He wrote: "Either fight for substantial benefits, or fight for the writer's veto over bad adaptation."

In order to control the works, some writers have completely left Hollywood. John Le Carey is more inclined to cooperate with British film and television studios than with Hollywood. In 2005, the adapted film immortal gardener received a hot review. Le Carey told me: "It's the hardest thing for writers to deal with the film and television industry, because there are always some bastards in it. They shouldn't touch the film at all."

The most famous in this respect is Harry Potter Rowling, she has an indisputable position in the crew. The script, director and actor must pass through her nod. Without her nod, it is a problem to start shooting. Under this great influence, the power of the producer and director is limited. Therefore, Martin should not interfere in the affairs of the crew and let Mark's team let go. This is a great good thing, otherwise it will be No one can control the position of a Lord if he wants to be a demon.

Novels and TV plays are totally two styles. How can we get rid of its dross and extract its essence? This is a technical activity that allows the original authors to participate. The examples of success are few and the examples of failure are more. "Harry Potter" is not an example at all. The Lord of the rings is adapted by Peter. It has been recognized all over the world, but there is a serious disagreement with Tolkien's son Christopher. Christopher vowed that he would rather go bankrupt than sell the adaptation right of the spirit diamond to Peter. If Christopher was allowed to adapt, God knows what will happen.

Mark finished his beer and ordered another one. He looked around with interest and found an old acquaintance.
