The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 541 Looks good, looks good, still looks good!

"...I'm a little tired. Who can not be tired of facing the same face every day? Husband and wife both have the seven-year itch, but there is no way. I am the soul of the space trilogy. Without me, this movie would be impossible." It is incomplete, and the audience will definitely feel that there is something missing. Think about it carefully, ha, Lei Jiayin is missing...

Just kidding, I think there will be no one in this world who doesn’t want to work with Director Chen, and no one will get tired of it, this feeling is addictive.

Director Chen’s films are all grand in scale and full of imagination. From the moment you start reading the script to the actual shooting, you will be shocked every moment. Even if you look at the world, I don’t think many people can handle such a grand scale. Such an imaginative project that, most importantly, continues to produce great movies.

...my role?I really like this character, I can't spoil it now, and I can't say that my character is different from "Center of the Earth" and "Mars", but everyone will be pleasantly surprised in the theater. "

After interviewing Lei Jiayin periodically, the host Lan Yu brought the topic to Chen Jingxing again.

"Director Chen, you once said that "Interstellar" is the last part of the space trilogy. I don't know if it is the same as the "Matrix" series. When you filmed "Gravity" early in the morning, you already had three films. Is there a complete story? Is there any difference or new thing compared to the previous two films?"

Chen Jingxing glanced at the audience in the audience, it seemed that they were indeed fans of his movie, because their expressions were very excited, and they were all listening to his answer attentively.

"Unlike "Matrix", the space trilogy certainly didn't have a complete story and plan for me early on."

No wonder, after all, you can't act too "monstrous", too pretentious.

"Probably after the success of "Gravity", Director Qin of China National Film Group asked me if I planned to make a new space film, because everyone, including the aerospace department, felt that the audience seemed to like space science fiction films. Moreover, the effect of publicizing my country's aerospace industry is relatively good.

From then on, I had an idea, that is, to make another space science fiction, and then "The Martian" came into being. When I was writing the script of "The Martian", the story of "Interstellar" also came into being. Inspiration, so it was also in order to cooperate with the publicity, and there was a space trilogy.

Of course, after "Mars" was released, the company, China Film, and fans were all urging to shoot the last part of the trilogy. I decided to make another space movie, after all, I can't just keep my word. "

"wow..."

Judging from the expressions of the host and the audience, this pretense seems to be bigger?

After secretly talking about Versailles, Chen Jingxing certainly did not forget to realize his own creative logic: "The ideas and ideas about film creation are actually very simple. It is the fantasy of stars and seas that many science and engineering men have, or they try to explain and imagine human evolution. Next step - Earth is the cradle and nest of humanity, and we will have to leave the nest.

In "The Center of the Earth", I actually want to say that the efforts we are making are worthwhile, but not enough. We have encountered difficulties and challenges on this road, but we can still stand up again. We need perseverance and courage.

And just being in outer space is not enough, humans need to go further, so with "The Martian", we need to take that step bravely and land on another planet, and there will definitely be greater difficulties, but Optimism, courage and perseverance are still required.

Of course, courage and perseverance are not enough, we need wisdom, wisdom and courage are indispensable, this is what I want to express in "The Martian".

And in this "Interstellar" I want to go further than many books and movies we have seen.

If we don't go on firmly, then human beings may encounter a greater crisis. This is the source of our exploration of the universe. At the same time, perhaps in addition to the courage to persevere, in addition to exerting our own wisdom, we need other things. Things like responsibility and love for each other, belief in others.

This is a very precious thing for human beings. After all, what we want is not just survival, not just simple pioneering. No one wants to compare themselves to locusts, right?

We are definitely committed to being a civilization, a meaningful and noble civilization as a long-term goal, and I think this is very important to us.

In addition, this movie will be quite different from "Center of the Earth" and "Mars", because it takes place in a more distant future, and in order to realize some of my, um, crazy ideas, the Some things might be more magical, not so scientific...

I saw that the expressions of some viewers seemed a little uncomfortable. There should be many of my fans here. I know your tastes. I am the same as you. I can guarantee that it is definitely not a "Star Wars" type movie. "

Amidst the laughter, Chen Jingxing continued: "I think everyone should be aware of my directorial style. Sometimes I have a bigger brain, but usually I talk nonsense in a serious manner, so everyone's evaluation of me is generally negative. It's a hardcore sci-fi director.

As a science student majoring in mathematics, I also prefer hard-core stories. Therefore, we have been working closely with the aerospace department, including this film. We invited three scientists as consultants. Brain hole, I also try my best to be scientific, hard-core brain hole..."

After Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin told some interesting stories about the shooting without spoiling as much as possible, more than half of the program recording time had passed, and the final segment was the Q&A segment that made the audience most excited.

"Director Chen, I am your fan, and I am your old fan. Just now you talked a lot about your creative intentions. Your films have always been entertaining and educational. Almost every film contains or profound Or a serious proposition, some thought-provoking thought.

For example, the previous "Matrix" series, and the space trilogy.

After "Matrix III" was released, many movie fans like me interpreted your thoughts and thoughts in the movie.

But you may also know that after that, many different voices appeared on the Internet, saying that it is unnecessary for us to interpret a commercial film in this way, and "Matrix" is just a special effects blockbuster. The far-fetched analysis is flattering, and even satirized that we should start a "moment study".

Many viewers actually don't care about the deep meaning behind the movie, and they don't understand your thinking in the movie. I know you may not care, but do you still feel a little wronged? "

The face of this young movie fan who seemed to be still in college turned red, and he became more and more excited as he talked. Obviously, even if Chen Jingxing wasn't wronged, he already felt wronged for Chen Jingxing.

Huh - interesting.

Chen Jingxing was a little helpless, this was the problem of too many fans, it was hard to avoid having such irrational fans.

Although his fans have always been known for their arrogance and love to show off everywhere, this is really beyond Chen Jingxing's control, he has tried his best to keep a low profile and modesty.

This kind of fans are brain-dead fans who are typing on the keyboard to argue with people on the Internet. Obviously, his question is not deliberately provocative but out of real feelings. The idol feels wronged.

How about one pink top ten black?
If this movie fan is just typing on Weibo, Zhihu, or social media, that’s all. Just like after the release of "Matrix III", his fans are indeed blowing rainbow farts a bit too much, which makes many netizens feel Due to the rebellious mentality, there were some debates between the two sides, but Chen Jingxing remained silent.

But now it was time for Chen Jingxing to pose a problem.

If some more conceited directors might take this opportunity to follow the fans' words and educate ordinary audiences, but Chen Jingxing has been here for so many years, he may forget other things, but there is one thing that he will never commit.

That is to educate the audience. He is a director of commercial films, so he must not do this kind of thing.

The host, Lan Yu, seemed to be aware that this might lead to a controversial topic, so she also blinked at Chen Jingxing, implying that if Chen Jingxing had any concerns, he didn't have to answer, or he answered. can be cut off.

If she was the host of a satellite TV, or the seat in front of her was another celebrity, she would naturally hope that the guests would talk about controversial topics, but she was facing Chen Jingxing, and she was also the host of a movie channel, so she still had some concerns.

Although Chen Jingxing was full of thoughts, he didn't get stuck, but asked, "Are you a college student?"

The fans were a little excited: "I am your younger brother, I am studying at Beijing Normal University, and I am a sophomore this year."

Sure enough, it was some innocent fans who hadn't left school.

Chen Jingxing smiled gently: "I can understand your thoughts, and thank you for supporting me. My answer to your question is: Actually, I don't feel wronged."

Nonsense, billions of box office, super high rate of return, who would feel wronged except fans?
"My concept has always been that the so-called ideas or profound connotations are just the icing on the cake of a movie, they are not fundamental or the most important thing.

The most important thing about a commercial movie is: good-looking, good-looking, or **** good-looking!

I've always felt that movies can't aim at educating people, that's putting the cart before the horse, isn't it?We have schools, we have books, and there are many more forms of education than movies.

For example, I talked about the original intention, inspiration and my thinking of creating "Interstellar" and creating the space trilogy. These are just my things, and they are just my ideas. My thinking and ideas are not important, the most important thing is that the audience thinks it looks good.

Going back to "Interstellar", back to the so-called space trilogy, putting aside these so-called connotations or the creator's own deep meaning, if I really hope that this movie can bring something to the audience, it is:
After you watch the movie, you will become interested in the space business of mankind, and you will say that we need to continue, we need to explore space, and we need to go in this direction, then I think it is worth it.

For example, as everyone knows Musk, his space dream is deeply influenced by the Apollo program and "Star Wars". The reason why the first rocket is called "Falcon 1" is to refer to "Star Wars" Tribute to the Millennium Falcon.

A lot of people who go into spaceflight are influenced by Star Wars and Star Trek, and even though a lot of people say they're not hard sci-fi, it doesn't matter.

It made me realize that films about space have something to do with you, with audiences, with kids who are young now.

In reality, I believe that our country will realize the moon landing sooner or later, and I am willing to make a small contribution to the enlightenment of dreams and the germination of certain consciousness and choices in the future.

I don't think the connotation contained in any movie is important. If it can make you have the urge to look up at the starry sky after watching the movie, I think my goal has been achieved.

Finally, I would like to repeat what I said before the release of "Inception" and "Matrix III":
I think the biggest charm of movies is that you don't have to understand it, you just need to feel it. "
