"Evan, are you serious? Do you think Aisinger won't sell the adaptation rights?" Teddy Bell skillfully reversed the car into the garage, asking. Read h-u-n to me and mix*h-u-u-n--Please remember

Evan Bell sat in the passenger seat and smiled, "Teddy, sometimes the producers are very stubborn. They will not let go if they decide on a script."

Teddy Bell parked the car and turned off the engine and got out. "As far as I'm concerned, I haven't encountered such a thing, so I'm very curious about what kind of script it is that has made Esinger persist for so many years and still unwilling to give up."

It is not uncommon for Teddy Bell to have this idea. In Hollywood, for producers, the purpose of a work can be divided into two types: box office and awards. The winning of awards is not only honor, but also the stimulation of box office is also what producers pursue. So in summary, the purpose of a work is actually only one: interests. Therefore, in Hollywood, you can often see a script that is wandering in the hands of various producers, and has been silent for many years and has never seen the light of day. For example, the adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain" showed interest before and after, but no one made up his mind in the end; for example, the seven-year preparation of "Lianlian Laptop"~--In the end, the "Sunny Little Beauty" was abandoned after four years of work. It is indeed not common in the film industry to let a producer abandon his interests, consider it alone from the perspective of the work, and never leave his work for his own preferences.

"Perfume: A Murderer's Story" was in the hands of Constantine Pictures for four years, and Bernard Esinger began to pursue the script long before that, and lasted for eight years. Now this script has not been able to be filmed and become a movie, but Bernard Esinger still has not given up.

Now, DreamWorks, the adaptation of the film "Perfume", cannot find a suitable adaptation. DreamWorks, the partner chosen by Constantine Pictures, is also facing a financial crisis and has no time to take care of itself. In this case, Cott Laporte believes that Bernard Esinger is willing to transfer the adaptation rights, which is a reasonable speculation. But Evan Bell believes that Bernard Esinger will not sell the adaptation rights, which makes Teddy Bell feel like he has heard the story of a Thousand and One Nights.

The reason why Evan Bell believes this is naturally because of the memories of his previous life.

"Perfume: A Murderer's Story" was created by German writer Patrick Juskind. After this novel was published in 1985, it has always ranked among the top ten bestsellers in Germany. It has been translated into more than 40 languages ​​and spread around the world...-/--Advertisement full text

This novel tells a story that took place in Paris in the 18th century. The hero Jean-Baptiste-Grenór was born in a stinky fish stall in Paris, but he was born with incredible discernment of smell. Later, in order to make a perfect bottle of perfume, he killed twenty-six girls to absorb its fragrance. "Perfume" won the only outstanding foreign novel award among the fifteen "Guttenberg Awards" in 1987.

This novel, written in classical style, is praised by people as "the most famous German novel of the 20th century". The description of smell is classic. Given that the author's description of feelings is particularly detailed, this book must use its own multiple senses to "read" the book. Use your nose to taste it. If you feel it is not deep enough, close your eyes and like the protagonist of the novel, Grenór, to pursue the smell that is obscured by various breaths. The description of each fragrance in the novel is so detailed that it makes people amazed.

Evan Bell once read the original German version. Eden Hudson recommended it to him to learn German. As a result, countless delicate adjectives in the book made Evan Bell difficult to read but also benefited a lot. The description of perfume in the book made people applauding. The owner of the perfume shop smelled the perfume configured by the protagonist Grenój for the first time. He saw himself "lying in the arms of a woman with black curly hair, seeing the silhouette of rose bushes on the windowsill, a night wind blowing through the windowsill; he heard the dispersed birds singing and heard the music from a tavern on the dock in the distance; he heard the whispers close to his ears, and he heard 'I love you, and found that my hair was standing up due to happiness." He therefore named this perfume "Nepoli Nights" to commemorate his love.

It is hard to imagine that the immersive fragrance of the ink between the lines can be drawn through words just by writing.

After the novel "Perfume" that was called "an important event, a miracle" by the literary world was published, countless producers competed for the copyright of the movie, but the author Patrick Juskind refused all invitations. Patrick Juskind was famously picky and suspicious, and refused to sell his film adaptation rights for a long time. The only one recognized by Patrick Juskind was the famous film master Stanley Kubrick.

Stanley Kubrick, who created classic works in film history such as "Dr. Strange Love", "2001 Space Odyssey", "Clockwork Orange", and "Shirt", has no doubt about his film talent. After being favored by Patrick Juskind, Stanley Kubrick also expressed great interest in the novel and personally went on the stage to try to adapt the novel. But in the end, Stanley Kubrick gave up because he felt that the novel could not be filmed and became a movie. He had to use lens language to present the feeling of "scent" and clearly expressed the role of "olfactory". This is almost an impossible task, because the gas is completely invisible.

After Stanley Kubrick, "perfume" was also widely believed to be a story that cannot be adapted.

In 1999, Stanley Kubrick passed away after completing his last work, "Eye-opening". After that, Patrick Juskind, who entered a seclusion, rejected the offer from all producers and stubbornly refused to sell the film adaptation rights.

As a German, Bernard Esinger actually showed interest in "perfume" as early as the late 1980s, but unfortunately he was turned away from Patrick Juskind. Later, when Stanley Kubrick began to try to adapt the script, Bernard Esinger proposed to acquire the film adaptation rights with Constantine Pictures. He also agreed to work with Stanley Kubrick to bring the original work to the big screen in the hope of impressing Patrick v Juskind. Unfortunately, he failed. After Stanley Kubrick's death, Bernard Esinger had no chance.

But Bernard Esinger still did not give up. He spent another three years to meet Patrick Juskind and finally moved the stubborn old man and successfully acquired the film adaptation rights of "Perfume" for ten million euros.

Imagine that Bernard Esinger has been interested in "perfume" since the late 1980s. To this day, more than fifteen years have passed, but Bernard Esinger still has not given up, so he can see his persistence. Therefore, after the excitement when he first heard the news, Evan Bell realized that Bernard Esinger would not sell the adaptation rights. Because Bernard Esinger hopes to see this legendary novel being brought to the big screen with his own eyes, he hopes not to let down the expectations of Patrick Juskind and Stanley Kubrick, and he must take responsibility.

In fact, in the past life, Bernard v Isinger's fifteen years of persistence was finally reported. Bernard Isinger handed over the "perfume" that has been expected for more than 20 years to direct by Tom Tickway, director who is famous for his international reputation as "Rola Run". The finished product filmed by Tom Tickway received mixed reviews, but overall, the audience and film critics still liked it very much, and expressed recognition for Tom Tickway's work. Tom Tickway uses the power of imagery, sound and music to create an atmosphere of smell and achieve outstanding results.

In the last life, after the movie was released, it performed very well in the box office. It achieved more than 100 million US dollars in areas other than the United States, which was amazing! However, Constantine Pictures and DreamWorks believed that this work would not have a good box office in North America, so it only conducted a small-scale limited screening, achieving more than 2 million US dollars. In addition to the box office, "perfume" also achieved remarkable results in major European film festivals.

However, in this life, the historical trajectory has changed. Evan Bell remembers that "perfume" should have been put into filming in 2006 and was released at the end of 2006 and early in 2007. Now it has been nearly ten months earlier. I don’t know if the result will change this time. For example, although Bernard Esinger is unwilling to transfer the adaptation rights, he is willing to hand over this work called "Impossible Adaptation" to Evan Bell, a newcomer who has only two directorial works released.

The two brothers Bell had left the parking lot and walked into the Spanish restaurant in front of them. They successfully saw Bernard v Isinger among the few people.

Bernard Esinger had a short head, his entire face was relatively tough, and his eyes were not big, but he showed rigor and shrewdness. The first impression would remind people of Germans or Nordic people. "Sit down and see what I want to eat for lunch. My stomach couldn't wait." This was the first greeting when Bernard Esinger met, and he had not even had time to introduce himself.

"Does Germans eat lunch so early? Didn't my German teacher tell me the correct cultural customs?" Evan Bell said with a smile, sitting down directly opposite Bernard Esinger, and Teddy Bell also sat next to Evan Bell.

Bernard Esinger glanced at Evan Bell and laughed generously twice, "No, I'm just hungry. I only drank alcohol and didn't eat for dinner last night. When I woke up this morning, I almost stuffed my wrist into my mouth."
