Chapter 697 [Growing Potatoes on Mars, the Unlucky Guy in Space]

A month passed quickly.

Yang Rui often heard people say in his previous life that children are the product of love between men and women. Raising children together and witnessing their growth is the happiest and sweetest thing.

But what about the reality? His life has become boring.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Yang Rui is used to having fun. Unlike office workers who commute to and from get off work to earn wages and take care of their children, he always has a lot of entertainment during holidays. If he didn't have children, he would now go out on the world's largest yacht.

Yang Rui leads the team to play basketball, invests in movies, and provides ideas for Facebook, all of which are profitable. He has to be on call 24 hours a day to take care of his children, and he still works voluntarily.

Scarlett Johansson's identity has also changed from queen, goddess, and black widow to maid and nanny.

Yang Rui began to understand why celebrities are prone to divorce, cheating, and irresponsibility. The price of being a good man is to give up a free and unrestrained life.

Paris Hilton said: “If you want to be happy, you have to be single.” Thomas Bentley, Leonardo DiCaprio and others also think this way. They are both scared when they think about their children.

What's even worse is that Yang Rui has three girlfriends. It's not good to neglect Scarlett, and it's not good to neglect those two.

Scarlett couldn't stand Yang Rui's indifference to the child's affairs; Stana had to work hard to make babies at night even if he was as tired as a dead dog; Nina maintained her usual cuteness, but she had the least status in the family.

Their lives suddenly changed from a love affair to a competition between each other. Everyone has different ideas and is not as free as before.

Yang Rui started writing a new script at home, which was one of his great pleasures.

Because Stana starred in "Gravity", he had two other inspirations and planned to give Scarlett and Nina a script to form an outer space trilogy.

The script given to Scarlett was "The Martian", which was a movie that Yang Rui liked very much in his previous life. The protagonist grew potatoes on Mars.

The film is adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name. It tells the story of Mark who lost contact with his team due to a giant sandstorm. He was mistakenly thought to be unable to survive and was left on Mars, becoming a space Robinson.

After waking up, Mark found himself far away from his home on Earth, with only enough food for a month. Fortunately, he has a humorous and optimistic nature and is a botanical expert. He decided to survive on his own strength and wait until the next mission to Mars, although it would take four years to wait. Carefully calculating how to maximize his time on this arid planet, Watney began growing potatoes using homemade fertilizer, making the most of whatever materials he had at hand.

On Earth, after the public mourned Mark's tragic death, a sharp-eyed NASA technician noticed signs of movement on the surface of Mars while monitoring, and suspected that Mark might still be alive. After the two parties reestablished contact, the Mars rescue mission was launched.

Yang Rui sent someone to buy the adaptation rights from Andy Weir, and then, with the consent of the original author, changed the protagonist to a female, intending to make the movie more commercial.

If Scarlett plays the leading role, not only can she show off her figure, but she can also look ugly and haggard in the later stage, and she can also show off her acting skills. As for Matt Damon, who has a bitter face...he should go to the Great Wall to fight monsters with Jing Tian.

Damon had the impression that Damon won an award for this movie. He didn't know if Scarlett would win, but he remembered that the film had a global box office of more than 600 million when it was released in 2015. It was bound to make money.

The space film script Yang Rui prepared for Nina Dobrev, the title has not yet been decided, is adapted from "Passengers".

In Yang Rui's previous life, the script for "Passengers" was written by screenwriter Joe Spaihts in 2007. After that, it was selected into the film industry's list of best unfilmed scripts and became the target of competition among major film companies around the world. When "Passengers" was put on the production schedule in 2011, Keanu Reeves was the perfect choice for the male lead. After Keanu decided to withdraw, the cast lineup was completely reshuffled. The film languished in creative difficulties for many years and had a bunch of directors and actors.

Tyldum was eventually chosen to direct, with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence starring.

After all this hard work, the movie was finally made, with an investment of US$120 million, a large part of which was used for the production of space scenes, special effects such as spaceships, and gorgeous interiors. The filming was so cool and explosive. It's a pity that the storyline is too weak and the male protagonist has bad views, which led to the movie being dumped on the street.

The original plot is quite annoying. Jim is a working-class passenger on the Avalon spaceship. During the 120-year journey of the spaceship to the space colony Home 2, he woke up from cryosleep early due to a malfunction in the hibernation module.

Jim discovers that he may have to spend 89 years alone on this giant ship. On the verge of suicide, he makes a desperate move and awakens a female passenger, Aurora, and a spark of love develops between the two.

After falling in love for a few days, Aurora learned the fact that she was awakened by Jim while talking to the robot, and then the two began to fight like Qiong Yao, you are cruel, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable...

When the operating system of the spacecraft was also paralyzed, they faced a bigger problem and were forced to work side by side to repair the spacecraft.

There are only four main actors in the movie, the male and female protagonists, the robot bartender Arthur, and the unlucky captain.

The theme of the film is very unpleasant. It completely praises male strength and the so-called spirit of sacrifice. The rescue scene in the second half is empty and boring. Everyone has already thought "Star-Lord must die" after reading the previous chapter, so how can we incorporate heroism into it?

Therefore, Yang Rui would not buy that rubbish script, directly modify the background of the original script, and then change the name. He planned to do this in the future. He would look for scripts in Hollywood, and when he saw a script with a good structure but poor content, he would make it his own.

Except for the background, all the content was changed, so the other party could not sue him for plagiarism.

Yang Rui changed the plot to the female protagonist's perspective.

The heroine played by Nina is a spacecraft repairman, an unlucky person who signed a contract with a space company. If the spacecraft breaks down during the voyage, she will be awakened in advance. She is responsible for repairing the spacecraft, but she cannot enter a deep sleep.

She had to accompany the immigrant spaceship to fly back and forth, only waking up for a while when it landed, which showed the oppression of the lower class by the upper class. The advantage is that after signing the contract, the family will receive a large amount of money, and the group will cover all medical treatment and other expenses.

Nina woke up one day and knew that she would spend her whole life on the ship. After crying, she started to repair the spaceship. The food she ate was from the custom-made canteen on the bottom floor, the coffee could only be black coffee, and the entertainment facilities were not allowed to play. . She looked at a lot of good things that she couldn't touch, and shed tears when she looked at the photos of her family.

She usually can only chat with the robot bartender, saying that she exchanged her life for money to treat her brother's illness. If she is lucky, she will be able to see her descendants in her family in 240 years. Now this goal cannot be achieved.

The most unlucky thing is that she can only chat, but can't drink alcohol. She doesn't have enough permissions, so she can only drink boiled water and soda water.

The only thing she is happy about is that she can stay with the famous star writer she admires for the rest of her life. The writer's hero is in the first class cabin of the spaceship, preparing to go to the immigrant planet to write a book and come back immediately. He wants to live in the future, a round trip of 240 years.

A year passed like this, and Nina wanted to commit suicide several times but could not make up her mind. Until one day, a huge meteorite hit the spacecraft. Nina had no time to go to the warehouse to get a part needed to repair the spacecraft, so she dismantled the parts of the writer's dormant cabin nearby...

Then, feeling guilty, she began to fall in love with the writer, began to enjoy the life of a rich person on the spaceship, and faced new crises. In the end, it was a rescue drama of personal heroism, but the writer did not know how to repair the spaceship, so Nina had to get on.

After reading the script, Nina liked it very much and was willing to take the role of this unlucky guy. Yang Rui doesn't know how it will fare at the box office, but at least it has more positive energy than "Passengers".
