Chapter 686 "The Three-Body Problem" was launched, justifying the name of science fiction
"Happy New Year's Day."
Fang Xing received blessings from many people, and also sent a lot of blessings.
The day before New Year's Day, all David TV broadcasted a New Year's Eve party.
Like last year, in order to promote, Fang Xing led the team to record the New Year's Eve party of six satellite TVs.
The difference is that last year it was to promote the movie, and this year it is not only to promote the movie, but also the TV series.
In the six New Year's Eve parties, Donghai Satellite TV is a live broadcast, and the others are recorded and broadcast.
Therefore, this year is the New Year's Eve with the family.
Lu Xianger hugged Qianqian, waved to her father on TV, and entered the new year together.
"Three-Body Problem" is scheduled to start broadcasting on January 2.
So, on the second day of New Year's Day, it will be broadcast.
At the same time, families also began to buy New Year's goods to prepare for the Spring Festival.
This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, January 21 is Chinese New Year's Eve.
This also means that the release schedule of "The Wandering Earth" is January 22.
After nearly a year of production, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem" are about to meet the audience.
Both works are science fiction films, and both belong to unpopular themes.
If it weren't for the name of Fang Xing, it would be difficult to pull up the heat.
The winner of the annual box office champion for two consecutive years, Fang Xing has formed a box office appeal.
Therefore, on the Maoyan APP and Bean Sprouts Online, there are many viewers who click "want to see".
However, "Three-Body Problem" will be broadcast after New Year's Day, and it will be broadcast before the end of the year, which means that the broadcast results of "Three-Body Problem" will affect the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
The reason is very simple, both works are science fiction themes, both are produced by Ark Culture, and they are both branded with Fang Xing's name.
Even if the stories of the two works are different, the audience will definitely evaluate the two works together.
Moreover, the promotion of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth" has always been bundled, and as long as the audience sees "The Three-Body Problem", they will definitely think of "The Wandering Earth".
If after the broadcast of "Three-Body Problem", the audience feels that it is not good-looking, and the broadcast results are not good, it will inevitably cause the audience to lose confidence in "The Wandering Earth", which will eventually affect the box office.
For this reason.
Penguin Pictures, Pea Video, Feifan Entertainment and other companies that have invested in "The Wandering Earth" have discussed with Fang Xing, hoping that "The Three-Body Problem" can be broadcast after the year.
In this way, the broadcast results of "The Three-Body Problem" will not affect "The Wandering Earth".
However, in the end, Fang Xing made a decision and decided to let "The Three-Body Problem" be broadcast a year ago.
"The Three-Body Problem" is broadcast first, and there are indeed risks.
But risks and benefits are inseparable.
High risk, high reward.
Of course, if it is messed up, it is really smashed.
The poor broadcast performance of "The Three-Body Problem" will indeed affect the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
But on the other hand, if the broadcast performance of "The Three-Body Problem" is very good, so that the audience has confidence in the sci-fi theme produced by Ark Culture, it will also increase the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
Therefore, the final schedule of "Three-Body Problem" was finalized on January 2.
All the staff involved in the production of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth" are nervously waiting for this day.
β¦β¦
New Year's Day.
Fang woke up and had a rare rest, so he took the family out to have a good time.
Asa was so happy.
Because during this time, Fang Xing had to run the promotion of two works, so he went out early and returned late every day.
Once she asked in a milky voice on her mobile phone: "Why does Dad go to work?" Can't you play with shallow at home? β
At the age of four, he slowly became sensible and began to slowly accept the reality that his father was going to work.
However, Fang Xing will only be busy when he is filming and running publicity.
When I don't have a project, I'm actually quite idle, and I can stay at home every day and play crazy with my daughter.
β¦β¦
Jan. 2 at 8 p.m.
Finally, it is time for "Three-Body Problem" to start broadcasting, and Wandou Video will launch the broadcast at the same time, and VIP will enjoy discounts.
"The Three-Body Problem" was launched, directly entering the plot of the scientist's suicide, setting off one suspense after another.
After watching this part of the plot, the audience originally thought it was a science fiction film, but it turned out to be a suspense film, but at the same time it was indeed a science fiction film.
The audience was aroused by the suspense one by one and the interest in chasing the drama.
Why do scientists commit suicide?
Why does the actor "Wang Miao" see strange numbers?
Why does "Shen Yufei" make the universe flicker?
By what means does the background radiation of the universe flicker?
This series of suspense makes audiences who like science fiction movies want to stop.
The "Three-Body Problem" TV series did not appear aliens as soon as it came up, and it did not engage in interstellar warfare as soon as it came up.
It is to tell the story of human society and unravel the mystery little by little.
The first day of broadcasting, two episodes for free, and four more episodes for VIPs, which is equivalent to six episodes updated on the first day.
The plot of the six episodes is suspenseful, and after watching it, the audience began to lose it and felt that it was too painful to chase the drama.
A lot of topics began to appear on the Internet to discuss "The Three-Body Problem":
[After reading it in one go, I feel that the plot is relatively gentle, but it tells the story eloquently, and after people watch it, they can't stop. γ
[The drama is very good-looking, but there is a very uncomfortable point, two episodes are updated in one day, who is enough to watch it? ] γ
[I knew it earlier, I wasn't in a hurry to watch it, and when it was almost over, it was more refreshing to read it in one go. ] γ
[It's uncomfortable, I'm stuck on the key plot, and I have to wait a day to watch the next episode. γ
[On the New Year's Day holiday, it's rare to have time to watch dramas, can't you show a few more episodes at a time? ] γ
[Didn't you discuss the plot? ] γ
What does cosmic background radiation flicker mean? γ
[It should be explained very clearly in the play, if you still don't understand, then I'll tell you, I don't understand either. ] γ
[I don't understand it, I don't understand, it doesn't prevent me from knowing that this thing is awesome.] γ
[Regarding the cosmic background radiation, the astronomical consultant invited by "The Three-Body Problem" has a video explanation, which can be found on the Internet. γ
[I'm not here to take astronomy classes, as long as I know that the universe is very powerful. Don't think about it, it must be an alien ghost. γ
[In this way, Shen Yufei is an alien behind her, right? ] γ
[Why did the scientist commit suicide?] γ
[Personally, I think that science is actually a kind of faith. If one day, scientists find that what they have studied all their lives does not exist, is fake, and their faith collapses, they may also commit suicide. γ
β¦β¦
Since the launch of "The Three-Body Problem", the plot has been suspenseful all the way.
When it came to the tenth episode, Ye Wenjie began to tell the past of the Red Bank Base.
The actor who plays the young Ye Wenjie is very beautiful, with a whip-tied appearance, revealing a strong atmosphere of the times, which immediately brought the audience back to that era.
The story of the Red Bank Base is the real beginning of the story of "The Three-Body Problem".
When Ye Wenjie was young, she encountered a lot of hardships.
Her mother and sister reported her father, which led to her father's death, and she was asked by the authorities to write a report.
She was reluctant to write and was persecuted.
After suffering a series of betrayals and persecutions, she was finally taken to the Red Bank base by her future husband "Yang Weining" to begin research work.
The Red Bank base is a place to study extraterrestrial civilizations, and the machines in the base may receive signals from extraterrestrial civilizations.
One night, Ye Wenjie was on the night shift alone, and the receiving machine received a signal from an alien civilization.
This signal is compiled to mean: "Don't reply." β
However, Ye Wenjie has experienced too much betrayal and persecution, working at the Red Bank base, and her dissertation results have been misappropriated by her superiors many times.
Completely disillusioned with humanity, she finally pressed the send button and replied to the message of the extraterrestrial civilization.
Also because of this incident.
The location of human civilization was discovered by the three-body civilization.
The distance between the two civilizations is 4.2 light years, which is the distance that the three-body civilization can cross in hundreds of years.
The star system in which the three-body civilization lives is a three-star system, which has no laws of operation, and the civilization may be destroyed at any time.
The star system of the three-body civilization is a hell, and relatively speaking, the solar system in which humans live is like a paradise.
Therefore, the Three-Body Civilization wants to occupy the solar system as a new home.
The beginning of the story also unfolds from here.
The Trisolaran civilization wants to occupy the solar system, but the two civilizations are separated by 4.2 light-years.
Flying at the speed of light, it would also take 4.2 years to arrive.
However, the Trisoranium does not have the ability to travel at the speed of light, so it will take hundreds of years to fly from the Trisolaran to the solar system.
The story of "The Three-Body Problem" is to tell the story of human society in the past few hundred years.
The whole story has a lot of ideas.
In the TV series, the three-body game played by the male protagonists Wang Miao and Shi Qiang is actually to introduce the living environment of the three-body people through the game.
Due to the irregular operation of the Samsung system, the three stars are sometimes far away from the Trisolar Star, so far that it is difficult to see with the naked eye.
At this time, the climate of the Trimaran is very cold, and organisms cannot survive at all.
Sometimes, the three stars will be so close to the Trisolaran that they can ignite the Trisolar, and they will also not survive.
In this harsh environment, the Trisolaran evolved the function of dehydration, whenever the environment is bad, the Trisolaran will be dehydrated into fibers, wait for the right climate to appear, and then soak to restore the body.
The three-body civilization also wants to seize the home of mankind because the living environment is too harsh.
β¦β¦
As the plot of "The Three-Body Problem" unfolds, the more the audience watches it, the more they like it.
The Red Bank Base, the Three-Body Civilization, the Scientific Boundary, the Adventist School, and the Salvation School are slowly presented, and the works are used to tell the audience what science fiction is.
Science fiction is not a superhero fighting monsters, but a fantasy story based on scientific theories.
Especially science fiction fans, little by little by the story of "The Three-Body Problem".
began to have a lot of viewers who like science fiction themes, and justified the name of this drama on the Internet:
[Who said that domestic dramas don't have science fiction? ] "The Three-Body Problem" is the best sci-fi drama I have ever seen. γ
["The Three-Body Problem" is really good-looking, very good, but don't kill it. γ
[Awesome, "The Three-Body Problem" is so good-looking, I'm kind of looking forward to "The Wandering Earth". γ
[Me too, I didn't have much confidence in "The Wandering Earth" at first. After all, there have never been any decent sci-fi films in China, but "The Three-Body Problem" is really successful, "The Wandering Earth" was filmed by Fang Xing himself, it shouldn't be too bad, right? γ
[I found a blind spot, in the trailer of the second version of "The Wandering Earth", it is mentioned that humans are pushing the earth out of the solar system, and the star system that is going to be Ξ± is Centauri. Isn't this the position of the three-body star in "The Three-Body Problem"? γ
γit!γ Don't you say that I don't know yet, "The Wandering Earth" is going to fly to the Trisolar Star? γ
[I'll go!] This thing is embarrassing, the Trisolaran has become hell, why do humans still go to the Trisolar? γ
[Stop! The two stories are independent. γ
[Actually.] Ξ± Centauri is Proxima Centauri, and a lot of science fiction will write about this star system because it is the closest star to the Sun. So when science fiction writers think of other stars, they must first be Ξ± Centauri. γ
[I don't care. Anyway, in "The Three-Body Problem", the Three-Body Problem is coming to fight the earth. In "The Wandering Earth", we want to send the earth over and beat them! γ
[All tactics switcher, right?] γ
[Yes, exchange stars with the Trisolara.] γ
This topic has caused a lot of discussion among netizens, but most of them are jokes.
Originally, both works were fictional, and naturally no one would really take it seriously.
It's just that it's interesting for everyone to talk about this.
As the broadcast of "Three-Body Problem" became more and more popular, the score of Bean Sprouts Network also appeared, with a score of 8.7 points.
Another TV series close to 9 points.
8.7 points is already a score close to the ceiling for a TV series, and it is not too much to say that it is a quasi-divine drama.
Moreover, this is still a science fiction TV series with an unpopular theme, and it has exceeded everyone's expectations to have this rating.
Originally, netizens' expectations for "The Three-Body Problem" were that if they could get a passing score, it would be considered a success if it was not ugly.
After all, it is an unpopular theme, and before "The Three-Body Problem", there were almost no successful sci-fi TV series.
Other words.
The success of "The Three-Body Problem" is equivalent to opening the door to Chinese science fiction TV series.
The broadcast volume of "The Three-Body Problem" has also soared, with an average of more than 100 million episodes, becoming a popular TV series at the beginning of the new year.
Moreover, this is not a drama with low gold content like ancient puppets.
Generally speaking, as long as the ancient puppets are not too badly filmed, the number of broadcasts will be very high, and it is easy to become popular and starring.
But in fact, ancient puppets do not reflect the acting skills of actors, nor can they reflect the director's ability.
The awards presented at the three major TV drama awards ceremonies are the best proof, and few ancient puppets can win awards.
Therefore, "The Three-Body Problem" can get such a high number of broadcasts and ratings, and the gold content is very high.
is also because of the success of "The Three-Body Problem", which makes the audience look forward to "The Wandering Earth" more and more.
The number of people who want to watch "The Wandering Earth" on the bean sprouts network has also soared from 300,000 to 500,000.
It is foreseeable that the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" will bring a lot of box office to "The Wandering Earth".
Originally, Penguin Pictures and other investors of "The Wandering Earth" were also worried that the broadcast performance of "The Three-Body Problem" was too poor, which would affect the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
Now, "The Three-Body Problem" has played a positive role.
This also indirectly made Zhang Changfeng and the cinema line more smooth when they fought for the film scheduling, and steadily got 28% of the opening film schedule.
The time is getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Fang Xing finished the last roadshow and announced that he would officially take a holiday after the premiere press conference of "The Wandering Earth".
Then a big red envelope was given to all employees, so that everyone went home happily for the New Year.
