Novel To Movie 소설 & 이야기

“Yeah. It is all I could do when I was with Willow. Novels- they are like stories, aren't they?” “Yeah. So a movie is basically a physical demonstration of stories. Instead of them being written they are shown. So we don't have to imagine the actions, we can see it for ourselves.” “Oh, wow. That is amazing!” she says in awe. “But, are you saying everyone would gather to watch it? That seems uncomfortable. Why would they do that?”

I don’t want to spend my time watching a trashy series. Then there was the book to movie adaptations. I would’ve wanted to watch them but not until I read those books. There’s an exciting feeling when you know that the book you just read was already adapted into a movie. And I don’t particularly appreciate reading books after I watch movies. I already got the story and I’m only hating it if the stories are different from one another. After minutes of deliberation, I finally picked a murder mystery movie about a group of teenagers killed one by one in their outing. The premise was absurd.

I went straight to bed upon returning home, but I had no intention of staying in bed the following day, so Nora set me up in the media room to binge on movies. The first movie that I selected from the enormous collection was “Gone With The Wind”. After having gone back to a time just prior to when the story depicted, I wanted to view it with a new perspective. The movie was still in the opening credits when she brought Killian Epps into the room.

It’s my kind of taste… Witches, vampires and ancient magic. It’s the kind of story that feels like it crawled straight out of a well-loved novel. “You remembered,” I whisper, glancing at him. He leans closer, his shoulder brushing mine. “You love novels with the supernatural, so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this.” The movie pulls me in almost immediately. It’s so interesting that I forget where I am for a moment, forget everything except the screen. Halfway through, Adrian leans over slightly. “You enjoying it?”

Calvin smiles at her, “This novel isn’t really suitable for a TV adaptation.” “Why?” Bella feels a pang of anxiety. Wasn’t there a preview already released? She knows he supports her wholeheartedly, but his sudden change of mind still hurts a bit. “As a TV series, the plot is too smooth, lacking conflict. It could only stretch to about ten episodes, which is too short.” If forced to adapt, adding filler would dilute the intense sweetness of the original. So, he slowly says, “I want to make it a movie, to be released on Valentine’s Day next year.”

"I still think we're taking it a little far, Celine. It's too early for me to be all out there." "Too early? My dear, you have sold millions of copies of your novel in just, what, two years? That's a huge success and you need to start putting yourself out there. Besides, if you play your cards right, you'll get movie industries all lined up begging for an adaptation of your latest novel into a movie." "Maybe," Alison said, still not buying Celine's idea, "still, we should take things slow--"

Ivana must have misunderstood his reaction because she cleared her throat and sat straighter. “I mean, it would make a great movie or series, sir. Most movies aren’t exactly the same as the books, but if we keep the main essence, it would be no problem,” his new temp explained. Calvin nodded. He liked the idea. He had to be sure he was doing it for the right person. “If it’s a book, a very popular book, the book world will go mad for it.” “A popular book?” he interrupted.

“The timing couldn’t be better, Eliora. Your novel has the kind of emotional depth, drama, and tension people crave on screen. If we adapt it, it could silence all those… rumors.” Rumors. The word curled in my stomach like poison. Half the world suddenly thought I was buying my way into the industry because a certain billionaire decided to invest in my company. Pathetic. I managed a polite smile. “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Hart. But I can’t let that story be turned into a movie.” At least not yet. His brows lifted. “Then at least consider writing something new for adaptation. The right project could remind people who you are and what you stand for.”

Olive stared at me in shock. “Deal?” I extended my hand. “5k.” Olive shook my hand as we sealed the deal. “Get your 5k ready.” “You guys are crazy.” Tara shook her head in amusement. “What if the book has a movie adaptation?” Olive watched me carefully. “As long as they stick to the source material and will hire good actors, the movie will be a box-office success. How about you, baby? Who are the actors that can play Kull and Szoraya?”

she awkwardly chuckles. “Look! Today’s the premiere of my favorite novel-movie adaptation! Let’s watch it!” we are all looking outside and there’s a big tarpaulin outside the mall. This tarpaulin almost kills us all. “Is that all? No!” “Hmm please?” I am sure Hailee will give in. “*sighs* Whatever” Whatever means yes to Hailee. I know Jai would agree because she reads the same novel as Ara. Although she doesn’t want to watch it to avoid disappointment she has no choice. I’ve read the synopsis and it’s pretty interesting.
