Three days later, Christopher replied to Jiang Chen.
"It's decided! Jonathan and I both think this novel is very good, and he has already begun to adapt the script. It's hard to believe that an unknown author could actually write such an attractive work! "
Jonathan was Christopher's younger brother and also a well-known Hollywood screenwriter. "Memory Fragments" directed by Christopher was based on the short story "Memento Mori" written by Jonathan. In 2002, Jonathan was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 74th Academy Awards for this film. The adapted script had one thing in common with his brother's film.
That was dark enough!
As dark as you want it to be!
Whether it was "Batman: The Dark Knight" or "Interstellar", the meaning of "dark" was so strong, and it was the strong ideological impact that often made the audience unable to stop watching.
Although he was surprised that Christopher's attitude toward "Time Curtain" was so different, Jiang Chen didn't ask more. "Time Curtain" was originally on his list of candidates, and he was quite satisfied with the author's identity.
At the same time, Virtual Image also began to produce VR scenes such as Kepler-22b, Borderlands, and alien races. By then, the filming of the film would be carried out in a VR environment, rather than the actors imagining the surrounding environment, dancing against the "green wall", and then filling in the background.
Hans Zimmer was responsible for the soundtrack. This master of soundtrack for well-known blockbusters such as Inception and Pirates of the Caribbean was already working with Christopher for the sixth time.
Other than the fact that the cast had not yet been confirmed, the screenwriter, director, and soundtrack were all original members of "Interstellar".
Based on the contract signed between Warner Bros. and Future Technology, the film would be jointly funded by both parties. It was expected that the adaptation of the script would be completed in mid-December, and filming would begin after Christmas.
In front of the reporters and enthusiastic fans, Christopher announced in front of the camera.
"You may not have heard of the novel" Time Curtain ", but it doesn't matter. You must have heard of my brother and my name. Believe me, I won't let you down. I can't disclose the details of the shooting, but I can tell you one thing. Virtual Image will create a world for our film! "
The cheers at the scene had vividly expressed the enthusiasm of the people.
And for this blockbuster co-invested with Warner Bros., Jiang Chen himself was full of expectations!
…
Facts had proven that entertainment news was always more popular than serious news.
Until Christmas, the Internet was in a heated discussion about which movie stars would star in "Time and Space Curtain" directed by Christopher. So much so that the news of Future Heavy Industries launching the world's first graphene supercomputer chip, outperforming internationally renowned chip manufacturers such as Intel and Qualcomm, was ignored by public opinion?
Perhaps it was because the media and the public were already used to Future Group's black technology. Leading the graphene field, it was no longer strange for them to lead the graphene chips again. Just like that, the first batch of 100,000 supercomputer chips was loaded onto the ship of Hua Ocean Shipping Company and transported to the port of Wanghai.
Only then did the Western media react.
The supercomputer embargo imposed by the United States on China was broken.
Intel was infuriated. When the US Department of Commerce announced the embargo, Kozaiqi expressed his doubts. He felt that such an embargo was meaningless. A unilateral embargo would only force China to develop its own supercomputer chips and cause Intel to lose orders from China's supercomputer centers.
And his concerns became reality.
The Dragon Calvary X1 supercomputer chip not only broke the supercomputer embargo, but also ended Hua's long-term dependence on the UA supercomputer chip. At the same time, the lix architecture provided by Future Heavy Industries to Godson Technology Co., Ltd. would also completely change the bipolar pattern of the processor market dominated by x86 and ARM architectures.
In addition, according to rumors, after the Guangzhou Supercomputer Center announced the computing efficiency of the "upgraded" Tianhe-2, the Dragon Calvary X1 immediately attracted the attention of Switzerland. Currently, Future Heavy Industries was negotiating with the Swiss National Supercomputer Center (CSCS) to provide orders to build the fastest supercomputer center in Europe.
Good lord, Future Heavy Industries had begun to seize Intel's market share in Europe!
Kozaiqi, who just obtained the patent authorization for graphene technology, felt a strong sense of unease. If Intel didn't work hard, it was likely to face the same fate as Kodak.
The strong sense of crisis gave birth to the motivation to update technology. In mid-December, Intel held a press conference to announce the release of the first graphene chip based on the x86 derivative architecture. This chip would be used in PCs, smartphones, tablets, and other fields. It also promised investors that it would invest at least 1.5 billion USD in the research and development of graphene chips in 2018.
On the third day after Intel's press conference, Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia, and other companies also held press conferences to announce their research results on graphene chips to the public.
News commentators joked that these press conferences were simply shareholder meetings in disguise, not to promote products, but to save the shaky stock price.
And that was indeed the case.
When investors saw that the companies they invested in didn't waste their research funds, they gradually calmed down and no longer sold their shares. Future Heavy Industries didn't make any new moves, investment expectations rose, and the rising stock price finally made several semiconductor chip manufacturers feel relieved.
Thank God, at least they could have a happy Christmas.
…
Christmas was approaching, and Coro Island was filled with a festive atmosphere.
There was a Christmas tree in front of the shops, and the houses were decorated with rattan and red ribbons with gold ribbons. Girls in short skirts and revealing midriffs could be seen everywhere on the street.
Because it was a British colony in history, Christmas on the island was second only to the Spring Festival and was one of Xin's official holidays.
However, because of the weather, it was impossible to see the original Santa Claus on the island. If someone wore a bright red jacket, they would definitely suffer from heatstroke due to the high temperature.
On Coro Island where it was summer all year round, snow was just an unrealistic hope.
At the moment, in the mansion at the southernmost tip of Coro Island, it was also filled with a festive atmosphere. With the help of a home drone, Ayesha, wearing a cool Christmas skirt, was busy hanging decorations in every corner of the house.
Perhaps compared to the holiday itself, she enjoyed the fun of "changing" the house more. And watching her change into a Christmas skirt and a revealing midriff was Jiang Chen's pleasure.
"No … Umm, can you wait until I finish cleaning up the house?"
With her hand on the ladder, Ayesha buried her blushing face into the soft needles of the Christmas tree. She bit her thin lips and begged for mercy.
However, she apparently didn't realize that her gentle voice didn't sound like she was begging for mercy.
At least not in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"I'll help you in a bit."
"Woo …"
Ayesha placed the decorations on the tray at the top of the ladder and closed her eyes that could talk. Her long eyelashes trembled with her rising and falling heartbeat. Looking at the sheep-like expression, Jiang Chen reached out his hand with a smirk.
But just as he was about to proceed to the next step —
Ding dong —
The bell rang in the living room, and someone pressed the doorbell.
"Someone's here."
Ayesha jumped down the ladder with a blushing face and ran to the bedroom.
If Natasha or Xia Shiyu saw what she was wearing, it would be better to kill her.
Seeing that there was a visitor, Jiang Chen had to give up, stop what he was doing, and walk downstairs.
However, when he passed by the window in the hallway, he saw a very unexpected person through the window.
Hermione … Emma Watson?
