Chapter 612 "Children of Captain Grant"
"In "Journey to the Center of the Earth", formal realism and aesthetic symbolism are perfectly integrated. This style will give the novel longer vitality, and it shows the ambition of the old thief for this series of works. , but at present, it has not yet reached perfection.”
…
Perhaps readers across Kyushu have very high requirements for the old thief, or perhaps there are scientific loopholes in "Journey to the Center of the Earth". The release of this work can be said to have changed the original expectations of this science fiction adventure series to a certain extent. The readers who were looking forward to it were instantly calmed down.
The mixed reviews of the book made a few of them doubt the old thief. Can the old thief really continue the quality of his works?
But just when everyone was doubting, a comment suddenly appeared, which cheered up many old fans!
"Don't worry! Brothers! When has the old thief ever disappointed anyone?"
"Even if "Clannad" had a mediocre reputation in the first season, wouldn't it still be a masterpiece in the second season?!"
"The old thief always likes to start a series of works in a relatively peaceful way, and I believe it will be the same this time."
"There is no need for some black people to comment below that I have no trust in Lao Zei. As a creator, does Lao Zei have a series or work that disappoints the audience? God will never fall until God has fallen. Will fall!"
…
Such a comment instantly aroused the confidence of thousands of fans of the old thief, and they were right!
There are also slow hits in Lao Zei's previous works, but in the end, it can be said that he slapped everyone in the face and completed the transformation of his reputation. This kind of thing happens again and again. This is why thousands of Lao Zei fans A source of trust!
Throughout September, after the release of "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the heated discussion about the old thief has not stopped.
After Lin Qiu returned to Xiazhou, he had only one feeling——
Loneliness!
The post-production work of "Titanic" itself, apart from the editing work, does not require Lin Qiu to worry too much on his own.
Chang'an's professional and efficient special effects production team is responsible for the production, and the interludes that Sister Tang was asked to record with some symphony orchestras have also been recorded.
Sister Tang went to hold a concert tour in Kyushu and was not at home. Lin Qiu did not have any work in the entertainment industry. Apart from working at home and in the company, she had nothing else to do. Lin Qiu also went home to live with her parents for a few days. sky.
Lin Qiu's parents are naturally supportive of his plan to take a break after all the filming work for the next year is over. Lin Qiu's high-intensity work has always been scary not only to watch but also to listen to!
The high-quality output of novels, music, animations, movies, and TV series. As parents, their first hope is the health of their son. Plus, as a newlywed, they always need to take some time off.
"Then we're planning to shoot, huh?"
Lin's mother Zheng Qing asked her son.
"Well, let's choose the location, decide on the characters, and start shooting right after the New Year next year."
Lin Qiu nodded in response.
Since he has decided to take a break in two years, Lin Qiu will definitely devote all his energy to work during these two years!
The filming of the "Batman" trilogy series has very high requirements in terms of location selection, and will be filmed in multiple cities, because the design inspiration of Gotham City comes from many cities in previous lives, and it has the meaning of a religious holy place. Italian profit. There are also megacities such as Chinatown, Tokyo, London’s West End, and Manhattan.
In a previous life, there was a topic that was often discussed among superhero fans.
That's "Who is the most popular superhero?"
Every time this issue is mentioned, it can lead to fierce "debates", but no matter how fierce the competition for the rankings of other heroes is, there always seems to be only one "champion", and this is "Batman"!
As for the first villain, there is even less suspense, that is the "Joker".
"Facial villains", "conspiracies solved one after another", "good triumphs over evil", these seemingly clichéd superhero plots have a different flavor in the "Batman" trilogy, especially It is the second "Batman: The Dark Knight", and it is the pinnacle of reputation and plot!
Zhou Kai once asked Lin Qiu this question, why don't you make a Marvel series but Batman?
Lin Qiu just smiled, "You can't understand the essence of Gotham's charm."
As the background of the Batman series, the world view of Gotham is absolutely stunning, and it fully restores the realistic tension brought about by the contradictions in the underlying structure of Michigan society!
"The night sky is always overcast, and weird Gothic buildings stand tall. Under the superficial glitz, there is filth hiding in the dark alleys."
This is an introduction to Gotham City.
When shooting a movie, every director sees the same script and plot, but the actual taste can go in two completely different directions.
For example, the movies shot by Ye Zhiyuan are very different from the classics in his previous life. Lin Qiu watched some edited fragments of "Shutter Island" to be released next year. I have to say that he is so talented that he feels like he is in "Inception". A lot evolved during the filming of "Space".
Dirty alleys, blaring sirens, dark rainy nights, violence everywhere...
Lin Qiu could already feel her blood boiling with excitement before filming started!
"good."
"It's up to you to decide on the casting."
"Well, except for the clown, it's not difficult to cast other characters."
Lin Qiu responded.
In the "Batman" series, the two most outstanding characters are undoubtedly the Joker and Batman. The role of Bruce Wayne in Batman is not very difficult, but the role of the Joker...
In his previous life, he was even called one of the most difficult roles in film history by many media!
In his previous life, Heath Ledger won an Oscar and conquered the hearts of movie fans around the world with his painstaking performance.
Except for Heath Ledger, the other Joker actors have their own characteristics.
With an action of licking his lips and lifting his hair, a pair of hollow and deep eyes, a mental patient who never regrets his evil deeds, the difficulty of playing this role is directly proportional to the charm of the character!
"Well, I'll ask the company to contact the actors."
Zheng Qing nodded. Nowadays, the work of Chang'an Film and Television Company is not difficult. After all, Lin Qiu and Chang'an's signatures are here. They have won two Oscar winners for two consecutive movies and won two Oscars for Best Picture. Looking at There are only a handful of people in the world who are unwilling to participate in Lin Qiu's movies.
Whether it is the "Titanic" or "Batman" series or the sci-fi masterpiece "Interstellar" that is already being prepared in advance, it is a huge project with a production cost of more than 1 billion in Chang'an! !
However, there is not so much box office pressure in Chang'an. Every year, not to mention other things, the Marvel series directed by Zhou Kai can steadily harvest a large amount of box office in the Kyushu film market.
And after this year's "Captain Xiazhou", Marvel fans around the world will feel more or less aesthetic fatigue, and their admiration for the previous films will make this superhero masterpiece the year after tomorrow - - "Avengers" is particularly critical.
According to Lin Qiu's plan, in just these two years, Chang'an's movie box office performance will reach an unprecedented peak! !
…
Can the old thief break his doubts again? #
This topic can be said to be an important focus of global audiences in the past month!
At the beginning of October, during the seven-day holiday in Xiazhou, the second work of the science fiction adventure - "Captain Grant's Children" was released.
This is the first part of Verne's classic trilogy. The two subsequent parts "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Mysterious Island" are more or less related, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "The Eighty Days" "Traveling Earth" is a work with an independent plot.
The main story of "Captain Grant's Sons" is the same as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and is not difficult to understand.
It tells the story of "Sir Glenarvan", the owner of the cruise ship "Duncan". By chance, he obtained the line of Captain Grant, a Scottish navigator who was lost in danger two years ago.
In order to find and rescue Captain Grant, Lord Glenarvan organized a traveling party.
Its members include Captain Grant's children, Lady Helen, Major McNabbs, Paganel geographer, Captain Mengel and old sailors.
Finally, after going through difficulties and obstacles, he crossed the grasslands of South America and traversed the Australian mainland and New Zealand!
After a thrilling adventure, Captain Grant was found on a desert island in the Pacific!
The whole novel infects readers with a positive attitude and shows amazing vitality. This is one of the reasons why this work can be circulated to this day and become a world famous novel in its previous life, widely loved by readers around the world.
This attitude of having the courage to overcome hardships and obstacles will surely be spread widely.
Along the way of this adventure, the mutual help of a group of people is also very touching to the readers, because in the vast ocean, it is simply difficult to sail on the sea based on individual ability alone. The joint efforts of the team are also the essence of this book!
If the first "Journey to the Center of the Earth" could not fully reveal the old thief's intention in creating this series, then this second "Captain Grant's Children" shows it vividly and vividly.
Compared with "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "Captain Grant's Sons and Daughters" has more characters, and the plot and reading experience are more than twice as rich as the first one. Many readers subconsciously think that the story of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is False, but the book "Captain Grant's Children" has a broad vision, showing global geography, humanities, and customs!
Like the three-person adventure team in the first part, readers followed the expedition team starting from England and traveling across the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and other Western countries, as well as the oceanic islands.
Pirates, earthquakes, wolves, cannibals, hunger, thirst, heavy rain, traitors...
The readers couldn't stop watching the thrilling and dangerous plots one after another. It was as if the obstacles faced by the expedition team were also displayed in front of all of them, but none of them could stop their firm steps!
This spirit runs through the entire book, including the spirit of exploration, team spirit, and the unique humanities of the girls in the old thief books. Unconsciously, readers are immersed in the adventure stories in the book, which are extremely rich. of natural knowledge, even readers in the 21st century feel that they have benefited a lot.
Among the classic Verne trilogy, most people prefer the other two, especially "The Mysterious Island" which has a stronger story and less knowledge and imagination. But for Lin Qiu himself, the most What I like the most is this one, "Captain Grant's Children", because the core of the plot of this book is not story and entertainment, but persistence!
As long as you strengthen your will and keep moving forward, I believe you will be able to reach the end.
This kind of book, full of power and vitality, once it was released, naturally changed the public opinion of the old thief after the release of the first book!
…
"I seem to understand this series of books by the old thief..."
"+1! This series of works by Lao Thief seems to be permeated with various scientific elements such as physics, astronomy, geography, biology, etc., and it also conveys profound humanistic thinking and reflects social reality."
"Yes, it is still different from "Spirited Away", but the essence is similar."
"I now tell these two books by Lao Zei as sleep stories to my son every day, and my son loves them."
Science fiction!
This is the label given to this series by the majority of readers. In fact, this type of novel is not original to Lao Zei, but it is the first time I have seen such interesting writing. Both works are set in the nineteenth century. Under the circumstances, within the scope allowed by the science and technology at that time, according to the laws and inevitable trends of scientific development, various wonderful ideas were made.
Even if this idea is proved to be impossible by later generations, it is not very important.
Could it be that in the 21st century in the previous life, Verne's classic works were criticized as worthless just because of the development of science?
Of course not. The unique nature of romantic literature, coupled with the twists and turns and interesting stories, would make it impossible for it not to be widely circulated.
Judging from the two published books, they both have thrilling plots, full of strange and imaginative plots, coupled with extraordinary natural wonders, giving readers plenty of room for imagination!
"When looking at the work of an old thief, you can't just look at a single part and give a firm evaluation."
“You cannot know a leopard by looking at a speck, nor can you know autumn by falling a leaf.”
"It's better to wait until all five parts are released before giving a reasonable and pertinent evaluation of the series of books."
…
The release of "Captain Grant's Sons" can be said to have once again ended the doubts about the old thieves. With the development of the times, readers and viewers' thinking abilities have become more sophisticated. Only after reading it can they give a complete evaluation.
The popularity of these two works among children is something that many readers did not expect.
Science fiction is the most effective way for children to get close to the future, even if it is bordered by science fiction.
Because science fiction is usually linked to fantasy, excellent science fiction works can allow children to open their minds and maintain curiosity and thirst for knowledge!
These two books by Lao Thief are full of creativity and adventurous exploration. In a short period of time, their coverage and popularity have reached an astonishing level!
