Section 280 Easter eggs and sequels

The Matrix 2 was not as good as expected and can be said to be a major blow to Warner. Before this summer, they had always believed that their movie could be the best grossing movie this summer, and even they always wanted their movie to be the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, but the failure of the collision with Levy's Three-Body Problem was undoubtedly an unacceptable failure for The Matrix 2.

is also a science fiction movie, released a week apart, The Matrix 2 has the glory of the first part, and it is the one that was released later, with so many of them, it still failed, which can also be said to be extremely regrettable.

In fact, The Matrix 2 can't be said to be bad, at least before the release, his momentum is going to surpass the three-body problem. But on the one hand, Warners wanted to make two films in order to make money, and on the other hand, the Wachowski brothers wanted to make the movie more cool and specially added action scenes, these two changes made it difficult for people to be satisfied with this - people expected a masterpiece like The Matrix 1, not such an ordinary good movie. When seeing that 2 is not as good as 1, many fans also expressed their dissatisfaction.

In this respect, the three-body problem is not burdensome, after all, it is the first part, and in this regard, they have a lot less to worry about.

It's just that if you want to say that you don't worry, it's also temporary-because after this movie, one of the most discussed issues is the sequel to the three-body problem.

In this movie, until the end of the story, Levy did not let the aliens really come. Human beings have defeated the earth's three-body organization and found out the ball rape inside the earth, but the alien three-body people have already learned the location of the earth, they have embarked on a long journey, and there will be a battle with humans, if this movie is said to have no sequel, it is impossible.

As a matter of fact. From the first moment the movie was shown, the most discussed issue on Mystery's website was the question of the sequel to the film.

Although the first movie gave people a lot of audio-visual enjoyment, it failed to solve the problem of the three-body problem after all. The story is not over yet, and what the audience is asking for is not such a solution, what they want to see is a complete solution to the matter.

Therefore, after watching the movie, the anxious audience naturally began to shout about when the second part would be released.

And after watching The Matrix 2, the audience is also full of various worries about the second part of this movie. The Matrix 2 for better selling. Two films were produced in 240 days, and the results were not very satisfactory. This naturally makes people worry, will Levy's movie be the same problem?

Of course, the reason why they decided that there would definitely be a second part is also a very simple reason: at the end of the first part, the movie left easter eggs.

Leaving easter eggs in movies is something that many Hollywood movies do when shooting, and doing so can make the story have a possibility of continuous development. As long as the box office is good enough, then the next one can be filmed. And the three-body problem also left easter eggs in the final stage.

At the end of the Three-Body Problem movie, those who patiently watched the subtitles of the movie. At the end of the movie, a small easter egg will be found. Still in the United Nations, or in the Three-Body Operations Studio, those who study the contact records of the Earth's Three-Body Organization and aliens. Problems were also found.

"In the concept of the three-body person, 'say' and 'think' are the same word. Trisolarans are creatures that communicate through brainwaves, and they cannot hide their thoughts in front of others. ”

This discovery. It's said in the easter egg of the movie. In the whole movie, the image of the three-body people does not appear at all, their lives are shown in the virtual influence of the image of human beings, and what they really look like, people do not see. People only know that their bodies are born in a three-body environment, compared to the earthlings, they can really realize effective human-train computers, they can better isolate heat, their life structure, Wanquan and human beings are different.

And now, in the easter eggs, another feature of theirs has been put in front of the audience.

And this characteristic also means something.

In other words, the Trisolarans can't hide their thoughts from the enemy, so in the process of their civilization, it is difficult to have a soil for the birth of deception and strategy. They can specify a strategy, but they can't create a deceptive strategy? Regarding the weakness of the Trisolaran, a general immediately got the information he deserved, "Perhaps, this is our greatest opportunity." ”

From this easter egg, on the one hand, people are sure that there will definitely be a sequel to this movie, and on the other hand, they are more interested in how the sequel to this movie should be filmed.

And the people who are most interested in this are science fiction fans.

There is no arguing that the most fanatical of a science fiction movie is always science fiction fans. And while this movie has achieved a very high box office, it has naturally brought a great response from science fiction fans.

Prior to this film, Levy had already launched a prequel-style story of the film through the TV series Ball Lightning. Therefore, although this movie does not have much influence among fans, it has a great influence among many science fiction fans. When filming the movie, although Levy basically did not touch on the things in the TV series in order to make the movie accessible to more fans, he still invited Tim, who played the role of a theoretical physicist in the TV series. Ross starred in the movie, which in itself is very satisfying to sci-fi fans.

And after the release of this movie, it caused a violent response - Levy's film is not a space opera, but closer to science, which has always been the model of big-budget science fiction movies that science fiction fans want to see.

But this time, the three-body problem can be said to have jumped out of this mode.

In this movie, the high-tech civilization will not go back and use some low-level social models that have long been eliminated, and when the high-tech civilization faces other low-level civilizations, it is not a warm and affectionate cooperative development, or free assistance, but expresses hostility with the most straightforward attitude. The high-tech civilization and the technology shown are no longer the non-stop bombardment of cannons and machine guns, and in this movie, the importance of theoretical physics. As well as their unique scientific and technological civilization and way of doing things, it has caused a great response from science fiction fans.

There are many space operas, and although these stories are beautiful, they are too far away from reality. It is easy for reasonable people to imagine that when the world's science and technology have developed to the stage of space civilization, how can it be possible to regress to the monarchy in terms of the way of governance? The space war is already a war against the universe, so why should we follow the way of war in the Age of Discovery? High-level civilizations explore the universe and encounter low-level civilizations, why do they want to send warmth? Or yes. Why is it so easy for the loopholes of high-level secretaries to be caught by low-level civilizations and annihilated in one fell swoop?

These problems are all loopholes in science fiction stories, and people generally don't care about these for better imagination. However, when there are movies that fill these holes, they are also very popular with sci-fi fans - perhaps with the development of technology, of course. These proved to be wrong, too, but that was for later.

At the end of the first part, humans intercepted the Trisolaran technology, apparently preparing for a cosmic war. So, what does a cosmic war look like, based on existing science and in accordance with the principles of theoretical physics? That's what people are all thinking about.

And, beyond that. This movie is very much in line with the psychology of science fiction fans, and another aspect is that it does not emphasize human beings one-sidedly.

Inside this movie. Although the aliens did not appear at all, in those five stories, the difficult living environment of the aliens was well outlined. The aliens living in this world can be said to be truly precarious, and they seek to emigrate to the outside world, not because of greed, but also for their reasons.

However, for the sake of their own survival, they must destroy humanity - the conflict between the two is the story of the film, and it is also the part that makes people think.

Human beings are not the only masters of the universe, this is a basic idea that all science fiction fans have: if human beings are the only masters of the universe, then human beings are also lonely. People explore the universe because they don't want to be alone.

However, the question also arises: if there is not friendship in the universe, but enemies, then how can humanity fight against this malice?

In reality, SETI also sends a signal to the universe. There has always been a debate in the scientific community about SETI's exploration of the universe and sending signals to the universe. Stephen Hawking, for example, has always been very much against this kind of behavior. And now that this question has been made into a movie and known to more audiences, there has been a wide discussion: Is this the right thing to do?

The audience has their own discussion about these things, and each of them has a different opinion, but how the original author views it and what the movie should look like is also what people are looking forward to seeing the answer.

Since the movie was released, there have been various rumors of Three-Body Problem 2 on the Internet. In Three-Body Problem 1, there are no spaceships or aliens that people want to see, so many people are also talking about what alien technology looks like.

In the first movie, they didn't appear, so in the second movie, they should also show their true faces, right?

The science and technology of the Three-Body Problem movie are not as almost fantasy as in some science fiction novels, and the science and technology he mentioned are all realistic, or can be calculated. So, this also forms a question, with the technology mentioned in this movie, what will the technological tools displayed look like?

This issue has also been hotly debated, with many people even trying to draw possible ship styles. It can be said that the enthusiasm of the fans has been fully mobilized.

Such a situation is of course a good thing, and it is definitely pleasing to have someone to support the film. But compared to the enthusiasm of these sci-fi fans, the comments of the media are not so friendly.

Polarization of media reviews is a problem that many films encounter. However, this is the first time that Levy has encountered it. (To be continued......)
