Chapter 1053: The Sun Project

The screen went dark, and the speakers fell silent.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Tang Jiayi thought there was something wrong with the screen, and hurriedly reached out to play with the screen.

When she saw the progress of moving forward, she sat up and looked at Atletico Madrid, and her mouth opened and closed and spewed out a large paragraph: "The screen went black when I just talked about the plot of the war, what does this mean?

"The release permit is real, otherwise there is no way to add a film festival," Atletico smiled and tilted his head, "In fact, the film is still going on, but you can't see or hear it." ”

"Oh?" Everyone is a smart person, with a clear prompt, Tang Jiayi immediately understood the reason, stretched out her finger and swiped up the screen to increase the brightness and volume.

It's a pity that in order to achieve an ultra-thin appearance, the screen speakers chosen by BBQ designers are very thin and small, and even if they are turned on to the maximum, they can only hear some faint sounds, and the volume route is basically impossible.

Fortunately, the passive display of the butterfly screen itself is good at restoring dark details, and as the brightness indicator bar continues to rise, the hall scene reappears on the screen.

The big man is in eastern Asia, the little man is in the Caribbean, both of them are still alive, but they are almost dead, lying quietly on the floor at minus 200 degrees with their eyes closed.

The thermal suits go into extreme energy-saving mode, actively turning off the auxiliary power system, and the heavy multi-layer insulation material turns into a gradually cooling human-shaped coffin, restraining their body and limbs. The head, face, and fingers can move, but unfortunately it has no effect, and the communication system in extreme energy-saving mode will only automatically broadcast the SOS signal every 15 minutes, and nothing else can be done.

"Hmm, that's it?" Tang Jiayi turned to Atletico Madrid and asked, "They lay motionless on the floor for half an hour, and finally died of hypoxia and hypothermia, and then ended the whole film with subtitles?

"This idea doesn't seem to be bad," Atletico waved his hand, "but that would be too avant-garde and artistic, not to mention that the domestic audience can't accept it, I'm afraid the film festival judges will not be able to stand it." ”

Nodding silently, Tang Jiayi looked at the screen, and sure enough, she found a new change.

Coincidentally, the big man and the small man both moved their fingers, and the fingertips of the heavy gloves tapped the floor, making a thin but clear "Boom boom!

Pluto's thin air doesn't transmit sound well, but hard floors do, and as long as the sound can drown out the heartbeat, you don't have to worry that the other person won't be able to hear it.

This scene made her eyes shine, Tang Jiayi, who has received emergency evacuation training, naturally knows that this is the international safety signal SOS. Since the wheel base of the ancient Roman chariot could determine the size of the space shuttle of later generations, it is only natural that the SOS, which was established in 1908, has been used for generations to come.

Of course, at this moment, there are only two living people in Pluto and even the entire solar system, and naturally they cannot be rescued by tapping their fingers, and sending this signal is more like confirming the existence of the other party and communicating with each other.

Then, things fall into place.

What people are most afraid of is loneliness, and even more so knowing that their fate will not be long in coming, both of them are holding back a thousand words in their hearts to find someone to talk to, and a conversation based on pointing Morse code naturally happens.

In the early days, cable telegraphs relied on human power to send telegrams, and the carrying capacity of information was extremely low. At this time, Morse invented a set of telegraph codes, using five kinds of information elements: short press, long press, short interval, long interval, and ultra-long interval to combine specific characters, so that the sender could send complete sentences and paragraphs, which greatly improved the ability of telegram to send information. Morse code quickly became popular and spread to the field of wireless telegraphy, where it is still being learned and used into the 21st century – but very infrequently because communication rates are too slow.

As the big man taps on the floor, dots and crosses appear on the screen, which are automatically translated into characters and words, but it's still a lot of anxiety.

Fortunately, the director also knew that this scene was too boring and boring now, so he quickly let the little man start a memory kill, and the camera switched back to his childhood - the later stage of the space station war.

Individual individuals or groups may profit from war, but human society as a whole will only suffer. If there is no future trouble, the war of reunification is fine, and it can increase long-term gains by reducing internal friction, and it will still be earned in the long run. However, the purpose of this space station war is to plunder resources and technology.

As the war progressed, the side effects of all aspects gradually appeared, and the parties involved in the war gradually had the intention of stopping the war, but they did not expect to be a step late. Construction is difficult and easy to destroy, because of the loss of population and facilities, the new human beings have suffered heavy losses, and the whole society has fallen into a state of decline.

If in the real world, the slightest problem in social production will lead to a series of problems such as soaring prices, frenzied rush to buy, and irrational hoarding, and then attract attention to macroeconomic regulation and control.

But in this new world composed of new humans, the virtual entertainment system has greatly suppressed people's real consumption, and everyone has no interest and need to rush to buy at all, until the virtual system is also due to large-scale disconnection due to energy and accessories problems, people began to worry, but unfortunately it was too late, and all kinds of remedies did not work.

Eventually, the ceasefire front sounded the attack alarm again, and the new world came to a strange place in the midst of people hurting each other.

The film comes to an abrupt end as the final space station crashes out of control into Jupiter's atmosphere, and the credits appear on the screen, scrolling up in rows.

"That's it, what about the two of them?"

"The big guy was big and had a lot of energy, and he died not long after the conversation began. The little man lasted longer, and he died just now, and the memories of everyone being dead are naturally unsustainable. ”

"Oh," Tang Jiayi replied lightly, her expression depressed, and she was stunned.

"What, what's coming to mind?"

"In the future, will this really be the case?"

"Light," Atletico couldn't help laughing, "It's just a brain-opening science fiction story, its premise is that the sun has helium flashes, causing the earth to be no longer inhabitable, and human beings have not adapted well to space life, and habitually use the means of war, which is why they have played to death." ”

"But in reality, the sun has existed for billions of years, and it will burn for billions of years. For such a big guy, thousands of years of human civilization and millions of years of evolutionary history are just a flick of a finger, how unlucky must it be to meet the sun and have problems?"

Of course, the more likely outcome is that the sun is fine, but the earth's environment has been damaged by humans, and in the end, all of them can only move to space as fictional in the movie, leaving the ground to the allE series to clean up slowly. ”

Probably accepting these persuasions, Tang Jiayi's complexion returned to normal, and she was still in the mood to quip: "Since you know that it's okay, why do you still make such a film? And the Wandering Earth too." ”

"Do you still need to ask?" Atletico gave her a blank look, "Of course, because sci-fi blockbusters have the most international flavor and can give full play to our advantages, we have the funds and technology, and we are the most suitable for this kind of thing." ”

"Do you want to shoot later?"

"Naturally," Atletico pointed to the sky, "Master Photoelectric has swallowed up the Time and Space Authority, and it is strictly forbidden for time-travelers to modify history and disturb the timeline, so Jiaying Bee Ying has to reduce the number of films of this kind, and then let science fiction films fill in the position." ”

"It seems that science fiction movies are not easy, otherwise why would no one shoot them?"

"Actually, it's okay, as long as you don't write too much about the organizational structure, you can still pass the review. No one has made science fiction movies before, mainly because they have no experience, no talents, and no scripts. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no precedent for success, the cyborg, the future police are embarrassed and lose money, and investors naturally have to weigh it when they get the sci-fi book. ”

Later, when the 'Three-Body Problem' award caused heated discussions, a bunch of companies hurriedly launched and announced that they were going to shoot science fiction movies. Hey, when our 'Wandering Earth' is down, those companies that are still waiting and watching will also join in, and it will definitely be very lively in the future. ”

"So you're going to lay out in advance and shoot sci-fi animation?"

"There's such a consideration, but it's only incidental. This book actually came to the door by myself.,I don't think the investment is big.,So I voted for it.。 ”

"Hmm? Isn't it our screenwriter?Seeing that Da Liu is a named consultant, and there is also a helium flash plot in the plot, I thought this animation was actually a biography of 'The Wandering Earth', just like the 'Matrix Animated Version' is to the main trilogy. ”

Atletico shook his head, "No, choosing this point in time to take it out, there is indeed a consideration of mutual promotion, and this film does have a relationship with 'The Wandering Earth', but it is not its biography, they are independent of each other." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The idea of this movie actually came from Da Liu, a pit he dug more than ten years ago. ”

"Lao Liu said at that time that he wanted to make a 'sun series', and planned to write some disaster stories to escape from the solar system, as well as to develop industrial fantasy essays that used the sun. Escaping from the sun, he is going to write three articles, "The Wandering Earth" and running away with the earth, "Micro Era" becoming a micro-human to establish a new civilization, and "There is no escape" to build a civilization monument on "Pluto". ”

As a result, the first two articles were published around 2000, but the third article became a 10,000-year-old pit, and I haven't seen him fill it in for more than ten years. Later, he played the role of Pluto grave keeper in 'The Three-Body Problem', and blew up this old pit, readers had various expectations, but he still didn't mean to fill in the blanks. ”

Then, another sci-fi writer borrowed this idea and wrote a deconstruction and spoof spirit that was posted in the science fiction world magazine, which caused a stir. The screenwriter of our short film is also an amateur science fiction author, and when he saw it, he was so angry that he wrote the current story and voted it for us. ”

Tang Jiayi came to curiosity, "What?"

"A very heavy but very parody story: the sun suddenly changed, and a part of humanity escaped to Pluto by deception, where chaos and infighting did many evil and dark things, and finally all died. The entire Pluto biological gene pool was eaten up by them, and only a genetic sample of the lowest-status island actress was preserved, and then it was discovered by the astronauts who returned from the voyage, and finally created a new nation with these genes, continuing human civilization. ”

"It's really a bit like the front, huh?" Thinking of the plot behind, Tang Jiayi immediately stopped her mouth and glared at Atletico Madrid with a pretty face.

The latter was unimpressed, and continued: "Speaking of which, the reason why he came to us is also because we have the authorization of Da Liu, and the all-media adaptation rights of the entire 'Sun' series are in our hands. Although he didn't actually write 'On Pluto', he was the proposer of the name and setting, and naturally owns part of the copyright. ”

"And you added it to Project Sun?"

"Of course, 'Full Band Blocking Interference' has been released, animation is being made, the 'Micro Era' movie is in preparation, and with this 'Pluto', the whole series is alive. ”

"Oh," Tang Jiayi nodded, "I haven't heard much about the micro era, so I seem to have some impression of what 'full band' is, what is this talking about?"

"In the US-Russia war, the Russian army was not as equipped as its opponent, and it was in a bad condition when it encountered the enemy on both fronts, and it was defeated and retreated. At the critical moment, it was the space expedition team that sacrificed its life to serve the country and ordered the spacecraft to hit the sun to create a large-scale solar storm, which temporarily blocked the earth's atmosphere in a full-band state, and then the Russian army sacrificed the paid props bayonet AK and artillery doctrine to drive NATO into the sea in one fell swoop. ”

"Is that so? The one I see doesn't seem to be like this, it seems that we are fighting NATO, and there is also a plot where the spacecraft hits the sun. By the way, that spaceship seems to be called 'Ten Thousand Years Yandi', the name is very distinctive and easy to remember, and the whole story is very bloody. ”

"I've also seen the one you mentioned, and it looks like it's been modified and replaced on the basis of the published Russian version, and the main plot is exactly the same, but the main character has replaced some details. No author has come out to claim this book, and the subject matter is also a bit troublesome, at most it is made into a short film for self-entertainment, and no one has invested in it. ”

"This is also true," although Tang Jiayi is not a person in the film and television industry, so many years of life experience still tell her what she can and can't shoot (she can't let go of filming if she shoots), and naturally understands the trouble of that story, "It's a pity that it's such a good story." Also, the 'full band' only comes out of manga and anime, is that also because of this?"

"It's mainly to save trouble, it's a complete war story, you need to lease a lot of military equipment, and it will be troublesome without the cooperation of the military. You can only start with cheap anime first, and by the way, you can also promote VR equipment, which is also a double win. ”

The animation produced by the bee has been fully VRIZED, and Tang Jiayi is too lazy to wear a headset, so she looks at the 2D version.

With two fisheye cameras placed back to back, they can be used to shoot 360-degree panoramas with simple processing, but the resulting images will be noticeably distorted. If you want to improve the picture quality, you need to spend dozens or hundreds of times more money to buy more and better equipment, and the production cost is amazingly high.

3D-CG doesn't require additional equipment, but it takes too much time on post-rendering, which is also expensive. Even local tyrants like the Big Six in Hollywood can only shoot a few minutes as a promotional video.

In contrast, 3D animation is much better, as long as you don't deliberately pursue a realistic style, you can save a lot of time and money on textures and lighting rendering, and with Bee's professional visual engine, the final playback quality will not be bad. Now it has become the favorite recommendation, gift, and tie-in product of Taobao VR glasses store, after all, the United States and Japan resources are not allowed to send it.
