"The Three-Body Problem" is about to be released, which really excites millions of Chinese science fiction fans. The main reason is that the original work is too good, and the author Liu Cixin single-handedly elevated Chinese science fiction literature to a world-class height. And in August 15, it will win the "Hugo Award". Of course, many people don't know this yet.

In addition to "The Three-Body Problem", Da Liu also has many excellent works, such as "Country Teacher", "The Wandering Earth", "Ball Lightning", "Supernova Era" and so on. These works are gradually being filmed in another time and space, some are established, and some are about to be released.

Lu Lin's development idea is to create a series of movie universes, and "science fiction", a series that can quite reflect special effects scenes, is naturally indispensable.

And Liu Cixin is known as "the first person in Chinese science fiction", equivalent to Jin Yong in the "world of martial arts literature", and many of his copyrights have been regarded as things in the bag by Lu Lin.

It's a pity that many of the copyrights of "Da Liu" were sold early, so Longlin Pictures spent a lot of effort to get a few copyrights little by little. For example, "Country Teacher", which was bought by Xiao Ma Pentium in his early years. Later, due to the death of the founder Li Ming, the company's development could not be sustained, so it was willing to sell the copyright of "Country Teacher" at a high price.

But up to now, Longlin Pictures has only collected the copyrights of "The Three-Body Problem", "Country Teacher", "The Wandering Earth", and "Ball Lightning". It's not much, but it's enough to shoot for a few years.

On Sunday, June 21, under the call of Liu Cixin, the author of the original work, the movie "Three-Body Problem" was screened in Beijing. The event, titled "Watching the Three-Body Problem with Liu", attracted more than 100 friends and science fiction fans of Liu Cixin, including Internet tycoons, science fiction writers, cultural scholars and workers in China's aerospace industry.

The director Lu Lin, Deng Chao who played Luo Ji, and Wang Qianyuan who played Shi Qiang all attended.

The first stop of the screening was at Yenching University, and there were many students who came to watch the movie, basically all of whom were science fiction fans or Lu Lin's fans. Among the business tycoons, Xiaomi's Rebus and SOHO China Chairman Pan Shiyi came.

At the scene, before the movie started, Rebus came over to shake hands with Lu Lin, and said with a smile: "Director Lu, you have made us wait for a long time for this movie!"

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Lei is polite, thank you for your support!"

In fact, Rebus originally planned to invest in films, but was rejected by Lu Lin. Thinking of this, he still had some regrets in his heart, and said: "Director Lu, I really like Da Liu's sci-fi, there will be a suitable one in the future, how about the two of us cooperate once?"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Cheng, let's see if there is a suitable project in the future!"

Rebus heard a perfunctory meaning, but this kind of business cooperation, some of them are difficult to talk about, and some of them hit it off, it seems that this is not very easy to talk about!

The premiere ceremony of the advance screening is different, there is a lot less in the ritual process, and the film will be released as soon as the basic people are seated.

After the 125-minute viewing ended, Ji Shaoting, the host of the event, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, and the director of the Future Affairs Administration, first expressed her feelings about watching the movie, she said: ""The Three-Body Problem" is a milestone work of China's hard science fiction, which greatly exceeded expectations, and I was shocked beyond myself and cried tears. The film focuses on the big vision of the continuation of civilization rather than small feelings, which is the most touching part of this film. "The Three-Body Problem" will open the first year of science fiction in China......"

In this case, Lu Lin also wanted to show his face on the stage, and hugged Liu Cixin, the author of the original work, on stage, before smiling at the audience: "In fact, before the movie ended, my heart was always worried. The original book is so grandiose, and there are a lot of fans, I'm really afraid that you won't buy it!"

The guests and students in the audience laughed when they heard this, and Lu Lin continued: "The history of various countries belongs to all peoples, but science fiction literature belongs to all mankind. If Chinese films want to go abroad and truly stand tall in the world film industry, it is not enough to rely on special effects blockbusters such as "Flood Famine", which are born from traditional Chinese mythology, because many things foreigners really can't understand, and they don't have that sense of substitution.

For example, "Nuwa Mends the Sky", do you know how it is introduced on European movie websites? Daozu Hongjun is the king of the gods, Nuwa is the mother of the earth, Zhurong is the Prometheus of the East, and Gonggong is the king of the sea......

The students in the audience laughed when they heard this, and Rebus and Pan Shiyi were also very happy.

Lu Lin continued on stage: "Europeans and Americans have always had some inherent prejudice against China, and they have no interest in our history and culture. Therefore, "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" and "Nuwa Mends the Sky" are difficult to reach the box office height of "Avatar", of course, it may be that I didn't shoot well enough!"

A few people in the audience couldn't help laughing, but more of them had solemn faces and carefully tasted what Lu Lin said.

"Therefore, I am very optimistic about science fiction movies, and I also believe that in the future, science fiction movies will become a brand in Chinese films that will attract the attention of the world, just like Li Xiaolong's kung fu films shocked the world. Because we have the best science fiction writer, Da Liu!"

Lu Lin said and pointed to Liu Cixin beside him, at this time the applause in the audience was thunderous, Da Liu hurriedly bowed to the audience, and saw Lu Lin hand over the microphone, Liu Cixin "smiled bitterly" and said: "Director Lu is putting pressure on me!"

The students and guests in the audience laughed again, and Da Liu continued: "I agree with what Director Lu just said, and I keep the remaining 10%, which is really too reputational. But I believe that the sci-fi genre will be a new direction for Chinese films, and there are too many other genres, and the audience will want to see something fresh. ”

The host Ji Shaoting asked with a smile, "Then how much do you think the box office of this movie will be?"

Da Liu said sincerely: "You should ask Director Lu about this, but I believe it will be very good." But no matter how many there are, it is a huge success for "The Three-Body Problem" to be adapted into a movie and meet the audience, and I like more people to see this film!"

……

The advance screening was very successful, although not many people have seen it, but the reputation of "The Three-Body Problem" has been fermented in advance.

After that, the roadshow of "Three-Body Problem" was officially launched, because Lu Lin was going to shoot "The Battle of the Deer", Song Ge was responsible for the administrative affairs and daily operation of Longlin Pictures, and the roadshow was in charge of Vice President Gao Hongze.

The members of the crew were divided into two teams to carry out advance screenings and roadshows in colleges and universities across the country.

Generally, the films that dare to be screened ahead of time have extraordinary confidence in the movie. And "The Three-Body Problem" also lived up to expectations, and gradually fermented a good reputation on the online media!

Many students who have watched the screening have posted post-viewing comments on their personal platforms on WeChat and Weibo, most of them are: the plot is touching, the special effects are explosive, and on July 10th, the second brush will go!
