What is a Science Fiction Movie?

Science fiction movies are based on science, starting from fantasy, and using film language to tell the story of social relations in a special science fiction setting situation, which can include the harmonious conflict between man and society, man and nature, man and science, and man and man.

The creativity of science fiction movies is the basis for film creation, and excellent science fiction movies are inseparable from an excellent idea.

Science is inseparable from fantasy, art is inseparable from reality, this is the best portrayal of science fiction art!

Among so many science fiction film festivals in the world, the World Science Fiction Film Festival is one of the best.

If a sci-fi film can be premiered at a film festival, it will be widely recognized by filmmakers, after all, it is one of the most recognized genre film festivals in the world.

The festival is looking for films in genres that are thought-provoking, challenging, and interesting, and can be feature-length films, short films, and documentaries related to science fiction genres.

Science facts and science fiction are separate from the film festival, belonging to two different links, if Lin Han wants to participate, it is in the science fantasy section.

The rules of the competition are very simple, non-English films must have English subtitles, and at the same time, sci-fi feature films must be more than 60 minutes, sci-fi short films also need 8-18 minutes, and sci-fi VR movies are much more relaxed, which is mainly to show people the most cutting-edge scientific research results!

"Jurassic Park" will also participate in this film festival, but as a special screening film, without participating in any awards, mainly to promote the film's Blu-ray disc and VR films. ”

Lin Han thought about it, and he said: "The registration time should last for a few days now, and I will think about it again." You ask someone from the PR Planning Department to do a feasibility report analysis, and by the way, let's see what we can get!"

If there are not enough benefits, he doesn't want his film to be exposed early, and he must be able to see the rewards.

Miao Hong can't force Lin Han, "This time the World Science Fiction Film Festival will be held in Seoul, South Korea, and the participating filmmakers come from all over the world, whether they are emerging filmmakers, veteran filmmakers or investment experts in the film industry, they will have the opportunity to show themselves at the festival and attract more audiences for their works." This year's festival also invited many Academy Award-winning film masters as judges. ”

Since the World Science Fiction Film Festival began to be held, Chinese science fiction films have been absent from this stage, there are no domestic films to participate, and the domestic media do not pay attention to this film festival!

When Lin Han heard that the film festival would be held in Seoul, he actually admired those Korean filmmakers, the film industry in China's neighboring countries has been improving, including South Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc., but we who have made outstanding achievements in film art seem to be caught in a sea of bad movies, not the worst, only worse.

Even Koreans can make good quality science fiction movies, and invite this kind of science fiction event to their own country to hold it, but domestic science fiction is like the darkness before the dawn, anxiously waiting for the dawn!

When it comes to science fiction movies, when it comes to Hollywood, it seems that science fiction movies are Hollywood's specialty.

But Hollywood is only the main force, it does not mean that other countries do not have this kind of film, for example, in the history of French cinema, there are famous films such as "Journey to the Moon", "Space Travel", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Alpha City", the British Frankenstein "Frankenstein" also appeared on the big screen for the first time, and the former Soviet Union also has "Sonars".

In addition to the United States, excellent filmmakers from the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, Mexico, and South Korea have also come up with wonderful works!

In the past two years, because Lin Han's science fiction novels have ignited the soul of science fiction among the people, and several movies adapted from his novels have achieved very good results at the box office and word of mouth, so Chinese science fiction movies have ushered in the best time.

When the original "The Martian" came out, it greatly aroused the audience's movie-watching craze, promoted the industrialization of Chinese science fiction films in Beijing, aroused the scientific enthusiasm of the whole society, and also allowed all kinds of capital to gather in this emerging field!

Not to mention anything else, at least now there are many domestic science fiction movies that have begun to be established, such as the film adaptation rights of several novels auctioned by Lin Han, such as Ali Pictures, which has already begun filming "The Time Traveler's Wife", this time it is directly invited to join by two first-line actors, not only acting online, but also very good looks and popularity.

In addition, the movie "Out of the Galaxy", adapted from Li Wenyuan's novel of the same name, has also been completed, and Chang'e Pictures is in full swing in post-production, which may be set for next summer!

At the beginning, the original owner filmed "Out of the Solar System", and now the sequel "Out of the Galaxy" has attracted a lot of attention.

As for the copyright of the novels that Lin Han sold to Hollywood, not to mention for the time being, almost every domestic film company is hoarding the copyright of good novels.

This also made some science fiction writers with relatively ordinary book sales taste the sweetness, and they didn't have the luxury of taking the film and television adaptation route at all, but the copyright can be sold!

Even if it's just a few hundred thousand or one million, it's good to be able to sell it for money.

It is very difficult for Chinese science fiction films to achieve corner overtaking, in fact, in Lin Han's opinion, the view that ordinary audiences think that Chinese films are far behind Hollywood in the field of technology is not correct!

There is not much difference between special effects technology and Hollywood in China, the gap is mainly in the process specifications, experience and investment costs, after all, the funds spent on special effects are calculated with tens of billions of dollars, who has so much money for domestic films?

……

Just when Lin Han was hesitating, the World Science Fiction Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlists, and took the lead in warming up himself, and many media on the Internet reported on this shortlist.

The shortlist is generally divided into two announcements, one is the film that signed up a long time ago, and the other is the film that has been signed up for a long time, and the other is the film within the recent deadline, and the awards are together.

"The 26th World Science Fiction Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlists, and 8 outstanding science fiction films from all over the world will compete for the Lighthouse Award!"

The authoritative media CNN reported the relevant list on its official website, after all, this film festival is still quite recognized around the world.

These eight works are "Cloud" in the United States, "Robot Love" in India, "Death Video" in Spain, "Mystery of the Moon" in France, "Brave Zombie Island" in the United Kingdom, "Monster of the Han River" and "Never Alone" in South Korea, and the disaster film "Japan Sinks".

It can be said that the types of these eight works are different, and the countries shortlisted for the film are even more diverse, only South Korea, the host, occupies two places, and even the United States has only one work shortlisted!

Of course, there are reasons why Hollywood studios are reluctant to spend time at film festivals, but also because Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters have been sold out early and have better publicity channels.

The English names of many of these movies are relatively unfamiliar, and the domestic media don't know how to translate them, and there are no domestic science fiction movies shortlisted anyway, so they pretend not to see it, only some netizens spontaneously reprint the news and try to translate!

For this result, the most excited is obviously the Korean media, they actually defeated the European and American sci-fi powers, and two works were shortlisted!

"The World Science Fiction Film Festival favors Korean science fiction, and the Han River Monster is expected to win the Lighthouse Award!"

"The rise of science fiction movies in the Republic of Korea starts today!"

"Korean science fiction films create brilliance, and two works at the Science Fiction Film Festival are shortlisted!"

"The director of "Never Be Lonely" was interviewed and said that the movie will be released in December!"

"The president of the Science Fiction Association believes that Korean science fiction films have reached the world-class level, far surpassing China and Japan!"

The Korean media has always been scared of the sky, and a little achievement is eager to exaggerate to become the whole universe, and now after the two films are shortlisted for the World Science Fiction Film Festival, it seems that they have enough confidence.

In an interview with SBS TV, Choi Yong-jun, president of their science fiction association, said very confidently: "Our film technology has caught up with Hollywood, and it is the top level in the whole of Asia, and we will represent the countries in the Asian region to participate in this world science fiction film festival and strive to keep the top award in South Korea." ”

When talking about the movies of neighboring countries, Cui Yongjun said disdainfully: "Japanese science fiction movies seem to spend all their creativity on anime, and Chinese science fiction is even worse to the end! What? Chinese can make science fiction films? Have you ever heard of Chinese science fiction films? Have you ever seen them?"

The host also said cooperatively: "I've never heard of it, I guess they don't know how to make science fiction movies." Asian sci-fi has to look at us!"

"That's it, there has never been a Chinese film shortlisted at the World Science Fiction Film Festival, they only deserve to be the audience, maybe we can invite some Chinese directors to come to the film festival to learn about Korean science fiction films. I think I can teach them how to make a movie, hahahaha. ”

The exaggerated expression looked very arrogant, which made many Chinese students in South Korea quite dissatisfied. You celebrate yourself and celebrate yourself, why do you have to be sarcastic about our country?

So some international students sent this interview video back to Weibo, and at first not too many people cared about it, after all, it was not a matter of a day or two for South Koreans to be arrogant and die.

But as more and more people see this video and see the Korean translated Chinese subtitles, they are simply angry!

"These sticks are like frogs at the bottom of the well, and last year's "The Martian" also won millions of dollars at the box office on the sticks, ranking 10th in the number of moviegoers of the year. Now you're saying we can't make sci-fi?"

"To put it bluntly, when our director Zheng Shuping won the Best Director at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, these sticks were probably still feeding. What did he use to teach Director Zheng to make movies, even Liang Jingru couldn't give him so much courage!"

"Spicy chicken, Koreans are refreshing the lower limit again, don't think it's great to get two nominations, at best, it's a pheasant award, it's so high. ”

"The ability is not big, and the tone is not small. We are disdainful to participate in this award!"

"Even the universe is a stick, this is the real science fiction thinking, they have always lived in fantasy, even delusion, they must be more self-deceptive than we are!"
