Chapter 406: "The Three-Body Problem" (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the hopeful singing, the film slowly came to an end, accompanied by thunderous applause.

The lights in the hall were lit up in turn, and the "The Wandering Earth" team led by Ning Hao, Zhang Yimou and others came to the stage in turn to express their gratitude to the audience.

Compared with Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters, "The Wandering Earth" is still beyond in terms of CG special effects and depth, Ning Hao and Zhang Yimou have a good grasp of the essence of the novel, and the movie portrays Liu Cixin's high and low turns, wide opening and closing imagination, and full of absolute color perception, gorgeous and majestic sometimes intoxicating composition.

It is as if we are in an era of depression and despair, when humanity is constantly racing against the predicted helium flash of the sun, and during this time, we also face the threat of tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, etc.

The mood of the audience also fluctuates with the crises of humanity again and again.

Especially at the end of the film, when the rebels, who think they have the truth, push the last thousands of Earth factions to the ice and brutally freeze them to death, the solar helium flash explodes in an instant. Many people could not help but cry out at that moment, applauding the last insistence of the Earth faction, hating the ignorance of the fanatics.

The end of the novel, although slightly sad, is full of hope.

Even these bigwigs in the entertainment industry, who have been immersed in the film and television industry for decades, have to admit that Cybertron Digital has once again achieved success.

"The Wandering Earth" is two hours and forty minutes long, and by the time the whole movie is about to end, it is close to 11 o'clock in the evening.

Mu Lao left the scene early at the end of the film, on the one hand, he has reached this age. Going to bed too late is not good for the body, on the other hand. With him as a great god, the next few celebrations will not be high.

Brought to the premiere all over. When the guests were also sent away one by one, Chen Xin, Wu Jun, Yu Shijian and others took the "Wandering Earth" team directly to the hotel for a celebration banquet.

It's not that they don't care about the box office of "The Wandering Earth", because the pre-sale results of the first four days of movie tickets have long been out, "The Wandering Earth" has won the box office of 1.5 billion yuan with 100% attendance, and now there are many media predictions that the total box office of "The Wandering Earth" in Chinese mainland is expected to break the record held by "The Country Teacher" and reach about 5 billion yuan.

There are even many people who predict that "The Wandering Earth" is likely to break the all-time box office record of $2.79 billion set by the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" to reach $3 billion. Chinese mainland will contribute more than a quarter of the box office.

This prediction is not made out of thin air by the patting of the heads of those patriotic netizens, but the number given by the "New York Times" after inviting many experts in the film and television industry to make a comprehensive judgment on it.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that last year's release of "Country Teacher" on the North American continent coincided with the UFO incident in Las Vegas, and as a result, "Country Teacher" detonated the North American box office charts, allowing American fans to see the power of Chinese sci-fi blockbusters for the first time.

In particular, the special effects in the movie are more than a step higher than the level of Hollywood, which makes fans cry out for refreshment.

This has also accumulated a huge fan base for Cybertron Digital, plus Liu Cixin's science fiction novels are now popular in the West. People can't wait to see what kind of effect Liu Cixin's majestic and graphic words will look like when they are presented in the movie.

This is the reason why the "The Wandering Earth" team is so determined.

The celebration lasted until more than one o'clock in the morning. In the middle, Wu Jun congratulated the team of "The Wandering Earth" on behalf of Cybertron Digital, and announced a news that made everyone excited - director Ning Hao and director Zhang Yimou, who had tacit cooperation in "The Wandering Earth" before, will continue to cooperate in the next film "Three-Body Problem" jointly invested by Cybertron Digital and Horse Racing Galloping Film Company.

The start of filming of "The Three-Body Problem" was expected, even if fans heard the news. I'm afraid I won't be so shocked, after all, Cybertron Digital has invested in so many films of Liu Cixin before. If you don't shoot "The Three-Body Problem", then it's called a ghost.

In fact, preparations for the filmization of this novel began as early as the beginning of last year, and more than 100 drafts of the script alone were revised.

This time. Cybertron Digital and Horse Racing Galloping Films will split the five-part series into a five-part series with a total investment of $1 billion with a total investment of $200 million each. Among them, the first part of the novel "Three-Body Problem" will start filming directly a month later, directed by Ning Hao, and the second part "Dark Forest" is divided into two parts, the first half is also in charge of Ning Hao, and the second half is handed over to Zhang Yimou for shooting. The third part of the novel, "Death Eternal", also adopts a similar approach, with the first half of "Ning Hao" and the second half of Zhang Yimou.

Filming of the five-part series is expected to continue until 2014, with the final installment to be released in January 2015.

Such a huge amount of capital investment regardless of the cost is something that very few companies in the world can do.

According to Wu Jun's plan, Cybertron Digital will strive to make "The Three-Body Problem" a sci-fi classic that is difficult to surpass in the global film industry even after 30 years.

Chen Xin is also very supportive of this.

As a die-hard magnet and science fiction fan, "The Three-Body Problem" is one of the finest science fiction novels he has ever seen, even when compared to Asimov's "Base" trilogy.

Even in terms of the setting of the worldview, the dark forest is much more reliable than Asimov's psychohistory.

This is also where Chen Xin admires Liu Cixin, although the three-body problem is relatively weak in the description of the characters, but this belongs to Liu Cixin's consistent style, and it is inevitable from a certain Cheng dรน, a novel that spans hundreds of thousands of years, the characters are just concrete symbols, and it is enough to promote the development of the plot.

The most powerful part of the three-body problem lies in the setting of the background, each step is supported by a solid foundation of physics, although there are many loopholes in front of some physicists, but for a novel, this kind of scientific loophole is not a release of imagination, who can be sure that hundreds of thousands of years later, some settings of quantum mechanics will not be changed?

To borrow the words of a netizen commenting on "The Three-Body Problem", if other novels are compared to a thesis, then "The Three-Body Problem" is a century-old collection of essays in the journal "Nature", and every idea thrown out in it is enough to write a long essay of tens of thousands of words.

What else can you say when you are faced with such a collection of essays? (To be continued......

PS: Sorry, I'm late, I went to watch the 3D version of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" today, and it feels very good, and China's special effects technology has finally begun to keep up with Hollywood. I would like to recommend it to everyone. I'll continue to write later.,There should be a change before twelve o'clock.,Thank you for your monthly pass support!
