What is really powerful about the book "The Three-Body Problem" is not how twists and turns the story is and how profound the characters are. It's the author's worldview, or rather the worldview he gives to the book.

Whether it is Cheng Xin, Luo Ji, Ye Wenjie, or Zhuang Yan, many times it is just a symbol, an anthropomorphic image of certain characteristics of human beings. All of this is actually for the "dark forest" theory, the survival and continuation of such a grand proposition.

Therefore, the main story line of Longlin's version of the "Three-Body Problem" movie is also closely related to the "dark forest" theory.

In Lu Lin's prediction, the first scene of the movie is a conversation between Evans, the actual controller of the Earth Three-Body Organization, and Tomoko. He was surprised to find that the thinking of the Trisolaran people is transparent, and they communicate through brain waves, and they can't hide their thoughts at all.

And Tomoko was also horrified to find that the thinking of earthlings can be hidden, and they actually have the ability to "lie" against the sky.

Finally, the two end the call in such a way.

Evans: "My lord, you need us. ”

Tomoko's subtitle on Evans Retina: "I'm scared of you!"

The three-body people with highly developed science and technology are actually afraid of earthlings, because they can never figure out what the real thoughts of an earthlings are. Da Liu's setting is still very good, which is also the origin of the "Face Wall Project".

After this scene passes, the movie will have a title, interlude, subtitles of the main actors, and then the scene between Luo Ji and his temporary "girlfriend".

The two looked crooked last night, but after having breakfast at the hotel, the girl played by Xu Dongdong died in a car accident. Shi Qiang, played by Wang Qianyuan, appeared and said that it might be a murder against him.

Luo Ji began to think about who would target such a prodigal young scholar as him. After thinking about it constantly, I finally remembered the conversation between him and Ye Wenjie in front of the tombstone of middle school classmate Yang Dong.

Therefore, Ye Wenjie, who caused the "three-body problem" crisis of the earth's civilization, appeared in the form of memories in the movie, and was played by the old drama bone Gui Yan.

Gui Yan is the kind of actress who looks intellectual, quiet, and has a lot of aura. has played very powerful women such as Wu Zetian and Empress Dowager Dou, in Lu Lin's opinion, it is quite compatible with the temperament of Ye Wenjie, the nominal leader of the "Earth Three-Body Organization".

In a temporary "cemetery" on the outskirts of Huairou, the crew of "Three-Body Problem" is filming the scene where Luo Ji and Ye Wenjie talk.

This conversation is similar to Evans' conversation with Tomoko, which is also in the prologue of "The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest", which is a bit of an outline. One reveals the cruel truth of the survival and continuation of civilization, and the other is the root cause of the "Wall Project", so in the movie, it is also placed in the opening part.

At the shooting site, after the photography, props, and lighting were in place one after another, Lu Lin shouted to start shooting, and from Luo Ji's perspective, an elderly woman in plain and elegant clothes walked slowly.

"Teacher Ye, you ...... Are you here?" Deng Chao said, his expression slightly surprised, but not exaggerated. Deng Chao's acting skills are among the best in the same group of actors. If you don't direct and don't act in comedy, it's still very reliable.

Gui Yan was born in 1944 and was 70 years old by 2014. has acted in a lifetime of drama, and this scene is really not difficult for this old actor. Therefore, the two play naturally and smoothly, which is very comfortable for people to watch.

"Are you...... Xiao Luo, right?"

"I'm Luo Ji, Yang Dong's high school classmate, ...... are you?"

"I knew this place that day, it was very nice, it was easy to take the car, and I often came here for a walk recently. ”

"Teacher Ye, you want to mourn. ”

"Oh, it's all gone......"

In the original work, Ye Wenjie's daughter Yang Dong learned that science was locked by the Three-Body Civilization, and after checking her mother's computer, she learned that Ye Wenjie was the mastermind behind the planning of the Three-Body Civilization to invade the Earth Civilization, and chose to commit suicide. However, in the movie version, it is only a character symbol, and Luo Ji's middle school classmates have not been introduced too much.

At the shooting scene, "Ye Wenjie" and "Luo Ji" chatted, seemingly casual conversations, and they were explaining various information settings.

Luo Ji studied astronomy, smart and casual, and then Ye Wenjie suddenly proposed, suggesting that Luo Ji study "cosmic sociology", and put forward two axioms:

"First, survival is the first need of civilization, and second, civilization is constantly growing and expanding, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same. ”

Luo Ji was surprised, feeling that these two axioms were already very mature, Ye Wenjie admitted frankly that she had been thinking about it for half her life, and said two important concepts, "chain of suspicion" and "technological explosion"!

It can be said that the "Dark Forest Theory" was first thought of by Ye Wenjie, probably because he felt that his identity as the nominal leader of the "Earth Three-Body Organization" could not win the trust of human government agencies, so he would tell Luo Ji these things and leave a glimmer of life for human civilization!

Luo Ji wanted to ask about the specific content of the "chain of suspicion" and "technological explosion", but Ye Wenjie looked at the watch and said that there was no time, and he wanted Luo Ji to understand it by himself, and then said goodbye and left in the twilight.

The whole scene was filmed very smoothly, and it was actually done in one go. When Lu Lin shouted "pass", all the staff at the scene couldn't help but applaud. Even admires the acting skills of an old actor like Gui Yan, and also thinks that Deng Chao's acting is good and can support this play.

As for the "chain of suspicion" and the "technological explosion", after the Trisolaran "droplet" probe wiped out the Earth's space fleet, blocking the sun. The human race, who was originally in despair, suddenly found that Luo Ji's previous spell had taken effect, and the star he "cursed" had really been destroyed, and Luo Ji explained to Shi Qiang.

The "chain of suspicion", two civilizations in the universe, cannot judge each other's good and evil. The good things on the earth are all human civilizations, and they dissolve when they communicate with each other.

But not necessarily in the universe, because the earth civilization is human, and the closest cosmic civilization to us may be created by apes or dinosaur-like creatures, and it is difficult for the two civilizations to communicate and gain trust.

More importantly, because of the existence of technological explosion, the history of life on the earth is billions of years, human civilization is 5,000 years, and modern technological civilization is 300 years. Judging by the time scale of the universe, this is not a development at all, it is an explosion!

The weapons possessed by human beings today can easily wipe out the civilization of the earth three hundred years ago, and even the earth itself.

The book "The Three-Body Problem" can be popular all over the world, and has won the love of a large number of bigwigs from all walks of life, such as President Austria, Zuckerberg, Little Pony, Rebus, and Zhou Hongwei, and its roots lie in these theories, which are the essence of the whole set.

For example, in the "Age of Discovery," the "Inca civilization" and "Aztec civilization" in the Americas were wiped out by hundreds of Spanish explorers, and how similar is it to the invasion of the "earth" by the "three-body problem"! Therefore, although the conversation between Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji was very short, it was quite important.

After the filming of these scenes was completed, the crew filmed some sporadic scenes at the China Film Digital Base, and only a week later led some crew members to Sweden in Northern Europe to shoot Luo Ji's seclusion scenes.
