Chapter 687 (1/2)

We have to sigh at the appeal of future people's technology. In a week, we received 170281 manuscripts, which is almost equivalent to the classified Library of some novel stations.

Of course, it may not be the appeal of future technology, but the one million dollar prize.

Such a terrible amount of text, it is absolutely impossible to complete the manual review within two weeks. At this time, only by Jiang Chen's secretary.

For Jane, there is no essential difference between 170281 and 17281. Based on the computational power of quantum computers, it is only a moment for her to read the text of tens of billions of words.

The only trouble is that she is only an intermediate artificial intelligence. Although she can think, she does not have human feelings.

No emotion, naturally can not read the beauty of words, want her to score these works is no way to do. All she can do is to screen these works like a filter screen according to the settings given by Jiang Chen.

The short story adaptation is too difficult and the content is not enough to support nearly three hours of film.

Works with more than 1 million words have also passed. What Jiang Chen plans to do is not a TV series, but a movie.

If we take the grammatical errors more than 50 times, the logic contradiction is big, the bug can't be ignored, and so on, we will have only a few thousand works left. It is inevitable that gold will be eliminated together with the gravel, but among the thousands of works left behind, the gold content must be much higher.

The first round only took 5 seconds, while the second round took two weeks!

Under the leadership of Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros. staff conducted a manual evaluation of English language works. The Chinese language works are selected by the future people group.

In order to make the selection fair and open, Warner Brothers also invited the world science fiction Association, the organizer of the Hugo prize, to participate in the selection process. Of course, the opinions of the judges of the Hugo Prize are only for reference and do not have a direct impact on the results of the selection.

After two weeks of selection.

Finally, in the eyes of the public, futureman technology and Warner Brothers jointly announced the list of winners on the official website. All winners will be reimbursed by FutureTech, go to colo island to attend the grand award ceremony, and sign a contract with FutureTech on the spot.

After the award ceremony, Jiang Chen found Christopher.

A total of 10 works have been selected, and they still need to exchange views on which novel to adopt in the end.

We spent $15 million before and after the event to determine the screenplay. Mr. Nolan can't help feeling the pressure from the future people's technological initiatives. So as soon as we met, he said.

”Are we investing too much just to build momentum?”

”But as far as the results are concerned, we are getting gratifying results, aren't they?” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Christopher made a helpless expression, ”only this point, I can't object.”

Among all the contributions made by futurists in science and technology, there are not only the achievements of some new writers, but also some novels that have been popular for a long time and have been highly acclaimed for adaptation. Obviously, not only fans of science fiction films, but also writers of science fiction are not enthusiastic about this open solicitation.

Starting from the top of the list, Jiang Chen chose to exchange views with Christopher one by one.

”How about Ian m banks' civilization? The most famous space opera style science fiction of the 1980s. ”

”It's too difficult to adapt a series of novels.” Christopher shook his head impolitely and rejected it.

”What about dust in the eyes of God? The work of Larry Nevin. The description of the first contact between human beings and alien intelligent creatures is very interesting. The expedition of the scientific research team composed of navy officers and soldiers, businessmen and scientists is also very interesting. ”If you encounter a non-human intelligent creature, you must assume that the other party is hostile.” this point is also very interesting

”This book is on my shortlist.” Christopher laughed.

”Haha, can you tell me about the lucky ones on your shortlist?”
