Chapter 922 Engaging in Science Fiction

When Shen Xudong signed Ah Mou, he never thought about letting him get high box office...

Movies like "River Red" are actually a drain on his reputation.

What do you think of "Man Jiang Hong": The Jin invaded, the rivers and mountains fell, and the people were in dire straits; Yue Fei was born from the sky, and he fought with an iron horse to turn the tide; the Shaoxing Northern Expedition, the impotent king and the traitor, twelve gold medals, looking at the Central Plains; Fengbo Pavilion, Yue Fei's fantasy before his execution Time: Go straight to Huanglong and clean up the old mountains and rivers!

I saw "Man Jiang Hong": Longmen Escort Agency...

"Dragon Guard", a screenwriter casually satirized "domestic commercial blockbusters", but today he accurately compared the big-budget movies with "years of polishing the script". How sad.

A group of top actors actually made such a movie during the golden period of their acting careers.

He seems humble, but is actually very stubborn - he never really realizes his own problems.

Regarding the problem of Lin Miaoke in the 2008 Olympics, he later said that he regretted it. Whatever happened to his voice, he let Lin Shang do it, but he never thought of another possibility, which was to let Yang Peiyi come!

In the same way, in "Man Jiang Hong", he wanted to take one scene to the end, but didn't take it. He found many reasons, but he never thought about whether it was because of his incompetence or whether some actors were incompetent!

Just tell Li Tie - I once imagined leading the Chinese team to win the World Cup. Isn't it very bold?

Is there anything bold or not bold about the idea?

I also want to fight with four beauties and two beauties overnight!

Ahem... In addition, the biggest problem with "Man Jiang Hong" is actually that it sniped "The Wandering Earth 2"!

What is "The Wandering Earth 2"?

It is a work that has been polished for four years. It is a landmark work that represents Chinese science fiction movies and the power of the Chinese film industry. It will set an example for all future domestic films and provide a large number of talents and technology to the Chinese film industry.

No matter now or in the future, "The Wandering Earth 2"'s status in Chinese film history is unshakable!

What about "Man Jiang Hong"?

In fact, the production quality is quite high. It cannot be said to be a shocking masterpiece, but it can still be regarded as a qualified New Year's film.

However, the realm is mediocre, the theme is vulgar, and it is forced to be patriotic and sensational!

Moreover, it was a comedy + suspense movie that took more than a month to shoot and the scene was just a random scene in a yard. It packaged a tragic national hero story into a so-called family comedy movie...

What can such a film with no limits and no quality bring?

box office?

Does it make sense?

Shen Xudong never expected Ah Mou to win high box office. His meaning was to make a few good works and win awards. If he couldn't win awards, then earn reputation!

Is an old director still pursuing box office success?

So what do you ask new directors to do?

One generation does one thing!

If you ask Zhang Yi to shoot "The Wandering Earth 2", then you can't build a moon for him to blow up...

…

The celebration banquet continued, and Fan Xiaopang also came, holding a red wine glass and trying to get close to Xu, presumably inviting him to guest star in his "One Night Surprise"...

Just guest appearances for each other, that’s how friendship is built!

Xu Zheng agreed readily and didn't even ask what type "One Night Surprise" was...

It’s just a cameo anyway!

Playing with Xu Zhenglai, Fan Xiaopang is holding a red wine glass and preparing to find Shen Xudong, who is chatting with Guo Fan about "Earth Fire"...

"Fire", a science fiction disaster film.

The usual plot setting of science fiction films is that the protagonist overcomes various difficulties and dangers. In the end, the story reaches a climax, the protagonist achieves his goal, and everyone is happy.

The pessimistic plot setting is to take away hope step by step, watching the goal getting further and further away from oneself, and finally a spectacular death.

"Earth Fire" is a mixture of the above two styles. The first half is the usual setting, with the protagonist successfully igniting the coal mine and the entire equipment starting to operate as the climax. Immediately afterwards, the fire spread, the door to hell was opened, and the story entered a pessimistic setting. Until the end of the penultimate chapter, the protagonist fell into the mine and climaxed with his body being fed by fire...

But what attracts Shen Xudong most about this story is science!

The progress of science and technology is inevitably accompanied by countless trials and errors and sacrifices.

The protagonist of the story, Liu Xin, may be just one of thousands of idealists or pragmatists who devote themselves to technology.

But it is the thousands of protagonists who, with their success or failure, pave the way for the ultimate advancement and breakthrough of technology.

This kind of movie can only be made by Guo Fan!

After all... Guo Fan is the pinnacle of academic qualifications in my country's director world. Other directors have trouble explaining Newton's three laws.

It’s not that you must understand these things to engage in science fiction, but...you don’t understand anything, and you don’t even care about basic scientific theories...

Let’s just talk about Han Shanping. He has never even seen movies such as "Star Wars" and "Transformers". When he was on CCTV... CCTV, an audience member asked, "When can China have "Star Wars" and "Transformers"?" "Transformers"? ’

Han Shanping replied, "...the ones you are talking about are fantasy movies..."

That’s right, he can’t even figure out the difference between fantasy and science fiction!

You can also understand why Teng Tao thinks "Shanghai Fortress" is hard science fiction...

"I contacted Datong Coal Mine. They will send a professional guidance team to help you set up a laboratory and provide some technical guidance..."

"real?"

"Of course... "Earth Fire" would be better if it had a documentary feel..."

Guo Fan nodded: "I'll try my best..."

"I made a note during the filming of "Earth Fire"..."

"Record? Record what?"

Shen Xudong explained: "How to group records, how to program and industrialize..."

"Hmm..." Guo Fan nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Shen, I feel like you don't like soft science fiction?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "It's not that I don't like it, but...a lot of soft science fiction is actually the director's own personal product..."

After a pause, he added: "The most outrageous setting of soft science fiction is the speed of light. Once it reaches the speed of light, cosmic science fiction is actually no different from the Age of Discovery... The content to be displayed is basically from the Kingdom of Order. Set off to the unknown territory, and then what? It’s just a confrontation between order and disorder! It’s meaningless... So, I like "The Three-Body Problem", and one day, I will shoot it!"

There is a very vivid adjective for soft science fiction: space opera!

The theme of "Star Wars" is not war, nor does it tell too many scientific principles. Although there is a technology tree, its core is closer to Western knight novels!

——Replace the Jedi Knights with highly skilled knights, replace the rifles with repeating crossbows, replace the aviation battleships with mast sailing ships, and finally replace the small spaceships with war horses...

Does everything seem familiar?

"Star Wars" is actually a story about a very skilled knight, riding a war horse, a hero saving a beauty, being canonized, and later turning into a villain...

Including "Dune", a science fiction film in which technology is highly developed and the social system has degenerated into the tribal era, who came up with it?

——Ape-man wearing high-tech clothing?

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 certain basis for future speculation, which is more in line with our worldview and is a conjecture or speculation about future development.

In addition, in the book "Three Books", human beings were attacked three times in total: Sophon, water droplet and two-way foil...

After watching it, I completely lost interest in sci-fi movies that pit each other against each other with knives - alien civilizations, mastering core technologies that are hundreds of millions of years ahead of the earth, driving super-light spaceships, traveling thousands of miles, and then what? On earth, we have presented wonderful cold weapon duels to our audience and friends!
