Chapter 173: Engaging in Science Fiction
Shen Xudong signed Amou, never thought of letting him get a high box office...
Movies like "Man Jianghong" are actually a kind of fame consumption for him.
What you think of "Man Jianghong": Jin Kou invaded, the rivers and mountains fell, and the people were struggling to make a living; Yue Fei was born, Jin Ge Iron Horse, turning the tide; Shaoxing Northern Expedition, impotent and treacherous, twelve gold medals, looking at the Central Plains; Fengbo Pavilion, Yue Fei's fantasy time before execution: smash Huanglong and clean up the old rivers and mountains!
"Man Jianghong" I saw: Longmen Dart Bureau...
"Dragon Gate Dart Game", a screenwriter casually satirized the "domestic commercial blockbuster", and today it accurately benchmarked the big-budget movie that "has been polishing the script for many years", how sad.
A group of top-notch acting schools actually made such a movie in the golden period of their acting careers.
He seems to be a humble person, but he is actually very stubborn - he never really recognizes his own problems.
08 Olympics Lin Miaoke's question, he later said that he regretted it, his voice was almost wrong, so he let Lin Shang do something, but he never thought of another possibility, that is, let Yang Peiyi go!
In the same way, on "Man Jianghong", he wanted to shoot a shot to the end, but he didn't shoot it, and found a lot of reasons, but he never thought about whether he was incapable, whether it was the ability of some actors!
Just say to Li Tie - I once imagined that leading the Chinese team to win the World Cup is not bold?
What is bold and not bold in imagining?
I still want to spend the night fighting four beauties!
Ahem... In addition, the biggest problem of "Man Jianghong" is actually sniping "The Wandering Earth 2"!
What is The Wandering Earth 2?
It is a work that has been polished for four years, represents a milestone work of Chinese science fiction films, represents the power of the Chinese film industry, and will set an example for all domestic films in the future, and also provide a large number of talents and technologies for the Chinese film industry.
Whether it is now or in the future, the status of "The Wandering Earth 2" in Chinese film history is unshakable!
What about "Man Jianghong"?
In fact, in terms of production quality, it is quite superior, not to say that it is a shocking masterpiece, but it can be regarded as a qualified Chinese New Year film.
However, the realm is mediocre, the theme is vulgar, and the patriotism is forcibly sensational!
Moreover, it has been filmed for more than a month, and the scene is just a comedy + suspense movie that turns around in the yard, packaging the background of a tragic national hero story into a so-called family comedy movie...
What can such a film with no lower limit and no quality bring?
Box office?
Does it make sense?
Shen Xudong never expected Ah Mou to win a high box office, his significance is to shoot a few good works, if he can win the best award, if he can't win the award, then earn word of mouth!
An old director who is still pursuing the box office?
So what do you ask the new directors to do?
One generation does one generation!
You asked Zhang Yi to shoot "The Wandering Earth 2", then you can't build a moon and let him blow it up...
……
The celebration banquet continued, and Fan Xiaopang also came, holding a red wine glass and talking to Xu Zhengtao, and invited him to make a cameo appearance in his "One Night Surprise"...
Cameos with each other, that's how friendships are established!
Xu Zheng agreed very happily, and didn't even ask what type of "One Night Surprise" was...
It's just a cameo anyway!
Playing with Xu Zheng, Fan Xiaopang was holding a red wine glass and preparing to find Shen Xudong, who was chatting with Guo Fan about "Earth Fire"...
"Earthfire", a sci-fi disaster film.
In general, the plot setting of science fiction films is that the protagonist overcomes all kinds of hardships, and in the end, the story enters the climax, and the protagonist achieves his goal, and everyone is happy.
The pessimistic plot setting is to draw away hope step by step, watch the target get farther and farther away from him, and finally die a vigorous death.
"Earth Fire" is a mixture of the above two styles. The first half is the usual setting, culminating with the protagonist successfully igniting the coal mine and the entire set of equipment starting to operate. Immediately after that, the fire spreads, the gates of hell are opened, and the story enters a pessimistic setting, until the end of the penultimate chapter, when the protagonist plunges into the mine and feeds the fire with his body as the climax...
But what attracts Shen Xudong the most about this story is - science!
The progress of science and technology is inevitably accompanied by countless trials, mistakes, and sacrifices.
Liu Xin, the protagonist of the story, may be just one of thousands of idealists or pragmatists who have dedicated their lives to technology.
But it is the thousands of protagonists, with their successes or failures, who pave the way for the ultimate progress and breakthrough of technology.
This kind of movie can only be made by Guo Fan!
After all... Guo Fan is the pinnacle of education in my country's director industry, and it is difficult for other directors to explain Newton's three laws.
It's not that you have to know these things to do science fiction, but... You don't understand anything, you don't even care about basic scientific theories...
If nothing else, let's just talk about Han Shanping, he hasn't even watched movies like "Star Wars" and "Transformers". It's CCTV, and some viewers asked, 'When will China have Star Wars, 'Transformers?' ’
Han Shanping replied '... The ones you're talking about are magic movies...'
That's right, he can't even figure out the difference between magic and science fiction!
You can also understand why Teng thinks "Shanghai Fortress" is hard sci-fi...
"I contacted Datong Coal Mine, and they will send a professional guidance team to help you set up the laboratory and provide some technical guidance..."
"Really?"
"Of course..."Earthfire" would have been better if it had been made with a documentary feel..."
Guo Fan nodded: "I'll do my best..."
"Make a record during the filming of "Earthfire"..."
"Records? What to record? ”
Shen Xudong explained: "How to group records, how to make them programmatic and industrialized..."
"Hmm..."Guo Fan nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Shen, I don't think you like soft sci-fi?" ”
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "It's not that I don't like it, but... A lot of soft sci-fi is actually the director's own private goods..."
After a pause, he added: "The most outrageous setting of soft science fiction is the speed of light, once the speed of light is over, cosmic science fiction, it is actually no different from the Age of Discovery... The content to be shown is basically starting from the country of order and going to the unknown realm, and then what? It's just a confrontation between order and disorder! It doesn't make sense... So, I love "The Three-Body Problem", and one day, I will shoot it! ”
Soft sci-fi has a very vivid adjective: space opera!
The theme of Star Wars is not war, nor does it tell too much about scientific principles, although there is a tech tree, but its core is closer to the knights of the West!
- Swap Jedi knights for skilled knights, rifles for repeaters, aviation warships for mast galleons, and finally small ships for warhorses...
Is everything familiar?
"Star Wars" is actually a very good knight, riding a war horse, a hero saving the United States, being canonized, and later blackening the story...
Including "Dune", who came up with the science fiction film of the highly developed technology and the degradation of the social system into the tribal era?
- An ape-man in a high-tech cloak?
It's really not as good as "The Three-Body Problem"...
"The Three-Body Problem" provides us with a scientific conjecture, which is the law of the dark forest!
Hard science fiction works often have a more rigorous scientific and technological structure and a certain basis for future conjectures, which are more in line with our worldview, and are a kind of conjecture or speculation about future development.
In addition, in the book "Three Books", humans have been attacked a total of 3 times: Zhizi, water droplets, and two-way foils...
After watching it, I completely lost interest in sci-fi films that cut each other with knives - alien civilizations, mastering core technologies that are hundreds of millions of years ahead of the earth, driving superluminal spaceships, traveling thousands of miles, and then? On the earth, a wonderful cold weapon duel was dedicated to the audience and friends!
