About the animation of "Three-Body Problem", a few random nonsense
The author Jun turned over the animated short film of "Three-Body Problem" and watched it a few times today - what has been released so far is only a concept PV, and it is not officially previewed.
As we all know, the copyright ownership of "The Three-Body Problem" is an unclear bad debt - at least in the eyes of outsiders, but such news was released on the 10th anniversary of station B, which means that this problem has been solved, or partially solved, which is a good thing, and the first step has finally been taken.
The producer of the "Three-Body Problem" animation is Yihua Kaitian, which is the animation company that has produced "Crazy Hero", "Phantom Nordling" and "Spirit Cage", of which "Spirit Cage" has not yet been officially launched, but the trailer has already been announced on Station B, and the post-apocalyptic theme of the genre of doomsday, I personally think it can represent the highest level of production of domestic 3D animation.
Da Liu himself expressed his hope at the 10th anniversary celebration of station B that he hoped to see the picture that "can make the original author gasp", to be honest, this expectation is very terrible, the grand perspective of the "Three-Body Problem" pattern is rare in the history of world science fiction - this is not blowing, of course you can bring out a work like "2001: A Space Odyssey", but the premise is that you have to watch it yourself.
(In recent years, because "The Three-Body Problem" is too famous, a considerable number of outsiders also know about this work, and the science fiction they have read may only have such a set of books, so they talk about the three-body problem of science fiction, which has lost the favor of many passers-by.) )
One of the most shocking scenes I've seen in science fiction works, the confrontation between the entire human fleet and the water droplets, was born in Da Liu's brain, and in the face of such an unattainable original author with an unattainable height and breadth of thought, what should the animation company do to make him gasp?
Converting text into a picture is far from being as simple as adapting word by word, having an original work does not mean that it is easy to make, animating film and television is a kind of secondary creation, sometimes its difficulty is not lower than the original - on the contrary, due to the multi-line narrative of "The Three-Body Problem", the grand pattern, and a lot of blank spaces, it is a work that is difficult to adapt, coupled with its extremely high popularity and popularity, the animation company is followed by a seemingly tempting but hot potato, the pressure is great, and it is natural to seal the gods, and I am afraid that it will be pointed out if it is smashed.
I am certainly not the only one who has this concern, as the number one sci-fi big IP in China, the follow-up development of "The Three-Body Problem" will directly affect the development of the domestic sci-fi market, sci-fi films are the king of genre films, foreign booming is extraordinarily lively, but the domestic horses are silent, in the imagination of the future should not be missing the position of Chinese, the Chinese nation's five thousand years of ideological heritage combined with the sea of stars, who knows what kind of sparks can burst out, what kind of fruits can be born?
Domestic science fiction is in the ascendant, the market potential is difficult to estimate, someone needs to light a fire to let the world see their light, but if you want to ignite this fire, it is not enough to rely on a "Wandering Earth", more and better works are needed.
The main creative team seems to be full of confidence, high morale, and confident that they can eat this first crab, here I can only bless them, I hope they can come up with enough excellent works, this step out steadily, as a pioneer, every step they take is of great significance to future generations.
One day, I hope to see Zhang Beihai pushing the engine on the big screen, saying to the future of mankind: natural selection, go forward four!
(It's really hard to make Da Liu gasp, but you can make me gasp.)
Laugh.
