Michael Clayton, the author of the Jurassic Park novel, is one of the most famous best-selling authors in the United States, and a very famous film and television writer, director, and producer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the history of American film and television, there are three writers who are the most powerful.

The first one was Michael Clayton, and then he was joined by Stephen King, and slightly inferior to Dan Brown.

Needless to say, Clayton's book "Jurassic Park" is enough to make him famous in history.

Stephen King is also very powerful, "The Shawshank Redemption" is one of his masterpieces, but many Chinese people don't know that this master who is famous for his horror and suspense writing, like Michael Clayton, almost every novel is adapted into a movie, and it is very popular.

Dan Brown, who is in third place, has not written many novels, but novels such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" are also very popular, and the adapted movie starring Tom Hanks is also very well received, and he has gained fame and fortune.

As for Stephanie Mayer, the author of "Twilight", Susan Collins, the author of "The Hunger Games", Ronny Carros, the author of "Divergent", James Dashner, the author of "Moving Maze", etc., they are still less far-reaching than the above three people in terms of influence.

Because it's not just the movie that's wonderful, but also the novels alone, the three authors above are incomparable masters.

For the movies he particularly likes, Yin Jun will watch and ponder them repeatedly.

If this movie has an original novel, Yin Jun will also look for it.

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

Take this "Jurassic Park" as an example.

Many people watched Spielberg's "Jurassic Park", which was definitely a sight to behold, and it was a god movie.

But many of them don't know that in fact, the novel "Jurassic Park" is much more exciting than the movie.

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

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 first three "Jurassic Park" were all adapted by Michael Clayton himself, so they are all very good.

Especially in the first episode, many of the people who have never seen these big guys screamed and watched it, and after they came out, they basically turned around and went back to the cinema, continued to scream, and continued to enjoy the movie.

The novel of "Jurassic Park" contains a lot of knowledge, and it is not just a person who can write it with such an idea.

For example, the dinosaurs you see in movies, except for a few aggressive dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex, most of them just have an appearance feeling.

But Michael Clayton in the book, the 15 kinds of dinosaurs are described in great detail, personality, living habits, etc., 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., and people who have not studied it for three hundred and seventy-eight years cannot use this knowledge so handily, and it is so perfectly expressed in the book.

Such an excellent book......

Yin Jun couldn't write.

The reason is simple.

He didn't have that much knowledge at all.

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

Another point, Yin Jun actually didn't want to write the original book in such detail.

Because in fact, the original book has a lot of bloody and terrifying content, it's okay to read the book, if it's in the movie, no matter where it is, you don't want to release it.

Yin Jun didn't like these overly bloody and terrifying contents, so he simply followed the old rules and directly adapted the script into a novel.

Although this is much weaker in terms of excitement, it is also a smooth story, and it is certainly not ugly to write.

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

Compared with the little profit from publishing, the profit of the film is called a huge one.

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

Publishing a novel is an easy thing to do in Hong Kong.

It's just that Yin Jun doesn't want to publish in Xiangjiang, but to publish in European and American countries in order to ensure his rights and interests.

The publishing industry is not as simple as people think.

It's not Yin Jun who said, you publish it for me, my book will definitely sell well, if it really doesn't work, I will take 3% of the royalties, or even not take it...... Then the publisher will give you the publication.

The publisher first has an evaluation mechanism to discuss whether your book can be published, how much interest it will have after publication, and whether it is worth their operation.

Then, the publisher is not a good person.

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

Because many people do not pay attention to the protection of copyright, they let the publishing house take the manuscript in vain and publish it in their own name, which causes heavy losses.

In the end, due to insufficient evidence, the authors could not even get paid.

There are really not too many such examples, before and after.

As long as they are businessmen, they are all for the purpose of making money, and as for conscience or something, it basically has nothing to do with them.

Of course, if it is a world-class publishing house, they care about their wings, and they will not go so far, but there is a certain guarantee.

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

But Yin Jun could never put his hopes in others, and he had to control his own destiny, especially when he knew how much benefit these copyrights would bring.

How to protect his copyright, in the future online world, many routines have been discussed, but Yin Jun knows it clearly.

This is in terms of publishing, but also in terms of translation, Yin Jun also has to find good people.

There is no shortage of English speakers in Hong Kong, even more than in Singapore.

But if you find an unreliable person to help translate "Jurassic Park", and then you can treat the novel as your own and publish it, it is not impossible.

It's not that Yin Jun thinks too darkly, but in this world, if you don't think it through enough, then there will always be someone who will let you know how cruel the world is and will teach you a painful lesson.

Yin Jun wrote it himself......

Forget it!

I heard that his English is no problem now, but when it comes to writing, formatting, rhythm, terminology, etc., he doesn't know anything at all.

After having people translate it, Yin Jun can compare those dialogues with the movie version, retouch and improve them, and let Yin Jun write all the content himself, and no publisher will definitely want to publish it.

Now Yin Jun is not in a hurry, because Michael Clayton will not publish "Jurassic Park" until about 90 years, and his creation time should be 85 years later, and now it is only 78 years, he must not have enough ideas to write this novel.

is another award-winning killer feature - "The Shawshank Redemption", which made Yin Jun hesitate at first.

As Stephen King's most famous novella, this novel, which is included in his "Tales of the Four Seasons" with a subtitle of "Hope for Spring", will be collected and published around '82.

Maybe Stephen King is already in the process of conceiving or writing.

Because this collection of novels has a total of four stories in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Stephen King wrote them casually, and it took several years to write the four stories.

Yin Jun's rewriting of "The Shawshank Redemption", both in writing and in a deep sense, is completely inferior to Stephen King, if the novel is published.

If Stephen King had already written "The Shawshank Redemption", it would have been a lot of fun.

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

The most important thing is not that the novel was convicted of imitation and plagiarism, but that Yin Jun's reputation has been ruined since then, which is definitely a big blow to Yin Jun's future development in the United States - who wants to work with a discredited plagiarist? Who wants to watch his films?

It was with this in mind that Yin Jun decided not to write "The Shawshank Redemption", but instead to write a novel that was even more postponed.

The movies adapted from famous novels in Europe and the United States are actually more than ten or twenty books, and Yin Jun happens to have read and read them.

Fortunately, most of them are works from the 90s onwards, and Yin Jun still has plenty of time to write them all.

These novels, like "Jurassic Park", do not want the novels to sell well, as long as they can be published smoothly and occupy the rights in terms of copyright, it will be the greatest success.

It's just that Yin Jun doesn't have to write all of these novels, just like the script, Yin Jun writes the main content and lets some writers fill in and expand, so that they can get a part of the novel's benefits, which is also a very feasible way to cooperate.

There are also those 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 bought.

According to Yin Jun's knowledge, the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is very complicated, and there will be several protracted court lawsuits around it in the future.

In order not to fall into these troubles, Yin Jun has to slowly plot it after he has enough strength, which is the safest way. (To be continued.) )
