The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 199 "The Wandering Earth" Universe

What is tolerant of Chinese audiences is that their evaluation of domestic films, especially films of genres that are lacking in China, such as sci-fi films, is based on the level of domestic films, as long as they have enough breakthroughs compared with past domestic films , they will give eager support instead of requiring you to reach the top international level.

So if there is no Chen Jingxing, then the original version of "The Wandering Earth" will still be the blazing light of domestic sci-fi. , or even if it can be successful, it may not be able to reach the original height. After all, the reference standard of Huaguo audiences has been greatly improved.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Jingxing does not like "The Wandering Earth". On the contrary, he loves and attaches great importance to this IP. It is comparable to, or even surpassed by "The Body"-this superiority is relative to the subject matter of the film.

The whole plan of the story of "The Wandering Earth" takes 2500 years, and the plot in the original movie is just a trivial fragment of the whole story.

Not to mention the journey after Jupiter, just the beginning of the story is enough to make several prequel movies, or how can I say that Liu is a genius, the creativity of a short story is enough to dig out countless gold.

First of all, theoretically, the difficulty of heavy fusion is higher than that of light fusion—hydrogen-nuclear-helium fusion. If humans have already mastered light nuclear fusion, not to mention the real sea of ​​stars, at least the sea of ​​stars in the solar system is no problem. It is obvious that in the story, human beings did not reflect such a degree of development that regards the solar system as an "inner sea".

This is where Liu did not explain and describe in detail-of course it is understandable, this is just a short story-but it provides enough room for imagination.

For example, refusion is not mastered by humans at all, but alien technology, which can be discovered from the moon, Mars, or alien creations fall into the depths of the ocean, trigger mysterious events, and be discovered by humans to study its implications technology and so on.

Scientists also discovered the harbinger of solar eruption helium flash in the study of alien technology. After that, human beings determined the Wandering Earth Project, built shelters and dungeons, built refusion engines, built pilot space stations, etc., in the original "Wandering Earth" The movie "Earth" only showed the story of how to save 35 billion people when it passed Jupiter, but how another 35 billion or more humans died can also make a disaster blockbuster, which is no more important than "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" grand?

In addition, there will be Saturn immediately after passing Jupiter. Although the Navigator space station has been destroyed, it does not mean that human beings will have no other space vehicles, such as rebuilding a small spaceship. There are two space stations, and the Navigator is just one of them. Getting rid of Jupiter sacrificed one of the space stations.

Saturn also has Saturn rings, as well as Enceladus and Titan, which are considered by scientists to be very likely to have life. The earth launches a spacecraft before passing Saturn, or the space station launches a spacecraft to explore Enceladus and Titan, because the earth passes Saturn The time is relatively tight, so the exploration team must grasp the time and retreat home in time, which can also create a thrilling and exciting space adventure movie script.

There are also other planets to go through, and even the impact of meteorites and comets-after all, they have broken away from the "protection" of giant planets. Of course, the impact of meteorites and comets can also be arranged when the earth passes through the asteroid belt.

After leaving the Kuiper belt, will there be a more wonderful and weird "contact of the third kind" in the long "vacuum" between Proxima Centauri and the solar system?This has a lot of room for development. After all, humans are wandering with the earth. The earth allows humans to have stronger and more coping methods in the face of various contacts and threats. Just a spaceship is very fragile.

Even after reaching the target Proxima Centauri, there is still a lot of room for imagination. After all, Proxima Centauri is a triple star system formed by three stars, and there is at least one planet—Proxima Centauri b, because it is located in the habitable zone, so Scientists also believe that life may exist in it.

How to let the Proxima Centauri capture the Earth, or which star captures the Earth, and what kind of orbit exists in this three-star system, how can we avoid the dangers brought by the three-star system, and can we really settle here after being captured? , is there any other hidden crisis.

Even if they settle down in the neighboring galaxy, whether there is life on other indigenous planets, whether there is intelligent life, and how to get along with them if there is any - just this paragraph can make an "Avatar" series of movies.

In addition to these large-scale imaginative spaces, there is also how humans on the earth develop and survive in this wandering that lasted thousands of years. In addition to the main plot in the original work, the perspective can be placed on a more microscopic scale.

There are cyberpunk, steampunk, wasteland punk, etc. in the world, so it is also possible to develop a world view of "wandering earth punk". After all, in this story, the earth faces an environment that has never been experienced before. What does human society look like in the background?There are many micro stories that can happen here.

It can be said that in Chen Jingxing's view, the IP of "The Wandering Earth" has the potential to develop a bunch of prequels, main stories, post-quells, and rumors. It can be stimulated by literature, art, business, philosophy, and the scalability is better than that of "Star Wars". And nothing less than that, and there is no need to turn over and over again the father-son drama like "Star Wars".

After Chen Jingxing revealed in the "Time" interview that "Gravity" is not a space story with a grand world view like "Star Wars", many netizens are actually somewhat disappointed. After all, the brand of "Star Wars" It's so strong, even "Star Wars" itself is a kind of pop culture, who doesn't want their country to create such a world view and pop culture?

But in fact, in Chen Jingxing's eyes, "The Wandering Earth" is Huaguo's "Star Wars", and the helm he chose for this heavyweight IP is Guo Fan. Like "Star Wars", the film series "The Wandering Earth" It is enough for Guo Fan to shoot for a lifetime, and it is also enough to become a long-term job of DreamWorks.

Guo Fan, who has been rushed to the company again, has just opened the contract drafted by DreamWorks. He has no idea that in Chen Jingxing's eyes, he has already been booked as the "Hua Guo version of George Lucas", and he is still preparing for the contract. surprised by the terms.

"10/5?" Guo Fan looked at Chen Jingxing in surprise. Capitalists have always been scrapers, and I have never seen anyone throwing money like Chen Jingxing.
