The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 555 Polarization
The 2020 Huaguo Spring Festival stalls did not exceed most media and estimates after the start of the game, and a situation of two super and many strong was almost stable.

"Beacon Fire Cloud Mountain" and "Interstellar Crossing" are the second super, with the happy twist "Desperate Master Husband" and two animated films as the most powerful.

"Beacon Fire Cloud Mountain" is a major tribute film of China Film, and it is also the first Korean war film released as a tribute. Of course, it is a bit early to release it in 20 years.

However, it should be considered that there are quite a lot of gift films in production and completed in the past two years.

Just counting the gift films of the Korean War, excluding TV dramas and small and medium-budget movies, there are quite a few industrial-grade blockbusters produced by the six majors. There are three from DreamWorks alone, and two of Chen Jingxing's "[-]" "Li Yannian" by Hetian Xinye.

There is also Jingying's "King Kong River" about the Battle of Jincheng, and Guoying and the other three major studios also have "Shangganling" and "Changjin Lake".

In addition, there are many gift films for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The relatively heavyweight Ning Hao, as the chief director, tells the story of building a new China and reforming the young people's struggle "My Youth and Me", and the air combat film "My Youth" in which Luo Chen participated King of the Sky, "Spike III" being filmed by DreamWorks.

And we can't all give gifts, and movies with other themes will also be released.

This kind of industrial-grade blockbuster usually requires a good schedule, or a good schedule can allow these blockbusters that cost [-] billion to [-] billion to recover costs and even make money with lower risks.

Huaguo is also a market with strong schedules, and there are only so many good schedules in one year. In fact, Guoying took advantage of moving "Beacon Fire and Cloud Mountain" ahead of the Spring Festival in 20 years, thanks to the early shooting of the project.

Coupled with the support of the stars headed by Lei Jiayin and the strong promotion of National Film, the film schedule of "Beacon Fire and Cloud Mountain" is slightly higher than that of "Interstellar".

Three of the top ten cinema chains in Huaguo are controlled by China Film Group, and there are four other cinema chains with more than 40% shares. They are all large-scale cinema chains. ah.

Simply "Interstellar" National Film is also the main producer, otherwise the filming will be suppressed.

In terms of word of mouth, there were no major surprises in the two first films.

Although "Yunshan" is indeed as Lei Jiayin and Chen Jingxing said, the preparation and production were a bit hasty, mainly reflected in the rough narrative, but the visual effects and big scenes are not in vain, and the battle scenes are very intense.

Huaguo's film industry is now moving towards industrialization. The advantage of industrialization is that industrial films on the assembly line have mature routines and sufficient visual effects technology to implement big scenes, which guarantees that they will not be bad films.

So "Yunshan" is about 7 to 7.5 points.

In fact, most of the audience is watching a lively, exciting plot, and the big scene with visual effects that do not stretch the hips is guaranteed, and ordinary audiences are satisfied.

However, there are still a few viewers complaining that "Yunshan" still commits the old problems of this kind of theme. The characters in the movie seem to have not learned disciplinary rules and political common sense, as if they directly moved the US military from Hollywood movies.

The battalion commander played by Lei Jiayin is handsome like an American soldier, one brother at a time, but there is no "comrades or soldiers". It is basically a copy of the template of a successful Hollywood war movie. It does not show why we can win, just watch To the main character aura and born heroic.

Many viewers even think that this is the fault of DreamWorks. From "The Mekong River" to "Spike II" and then to "Operation Red Sea", the action movie routines of the military action trilogy have been learned by the war gift movies. Make a real war like a special action movie.

However, with last year's "Eight Hundred Revelations", this part of the more demanding audience is too embarrassed to give too much criticism to "Yunshan". So serious.

And the word-of-mouth of "Interstellar" did not surprise the media and audience too much.

After all, Chen Jingxing's previous two films were "Inception" and "Matrix III". "Inception" has been the highest-scoring Chinese film in the past 30 years. It has been released for more than a year, and Douban still has a score of 9.4.

"Matrix III" is considered by many fans to be the pinnacle of the Matrix series, with a score of 9.1 on Douban, the same as the first film.

Although there were indeed many people and many media were secretly looking forward to Chen Jingxing's miss - in a sense, the word-of-mouth waterloo of Chen Jingxing's new movie was more newsworthy than the explosion of word-of-mouth.

At that time, those who defended Chen Jingxing, those who criticized Chen Jingxing, loyal movie fans and arrogant netizens who have always been unaccustomed to the movie, as well as the controversy over the movie are enough to brew a feast of public opinion. How many marketing accounts and new media practitioners can be supported.

Unfortunately, it did not appear by accident.

“...all positive reviews”

"...a great reputation"

“Rave reviews”

Words that are almost bound to Chen Jingxing's movies were once again "copy-pasted" by the editors of major media reports.

It can still be used after changing the manuscripts of "Matrix III" and "Inception" after they were released.

But the editor who watched the movie can still boast with reason and evidence.

However, Douban's score of 9.3 still surprised many people.

Shocked that this score has almost caught up with "Inception", and far surpassed "Gravity" and "The Martian".

Some people lament that Chen Jingxing is becoming more and more evil. He is completely different from most literary and artistic creators. Most literary and artistic creators either make their debut or reach their peak.

And Chen Jingxing can be said to have driven low and gone high, although this "open low" is a bit exaggerated, after all, his first movie "Comet" still has a score of 8.7.

But it is true that the reputation of his movies has been getting higher and higher in the past two years, basically exceeding 9 points.

Of course, some people thought that this was the reason why Chen Jingxing had more and more fans and became more and more bewildered.

Although Director Chen Da gained a reputation as a genius when he debuted, it was in "Gravity" that he truly established his status as a master, and he also officially got rid of the style of small and medium-cost sci-fi sketches in the early stage, and embarked on the path of heavy industrial sci-fi blockbusters. the way.

After that, the number of moviegoers and fans became more and more pious, and the growth rate was astonishing.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing's films in recent years have basically received a large number of five-star praise from fans before they are released, which is also the reason why they are criticized by some people.

The somewhat malicious joke "Douban's surname is Chen" appeared on the Internet a long time ago, and it has been circulated that many people agree with this statement.

In layman's terms, I feel that Chen Jingxing's fan Douban account has indeed been raised. In a sense, it is no different from the traffic fans who have exploded in the past few years.

Moreover, the fans of the traffic have raised their accounts, and Heizi's accounts have also been raised, and the war between fans and blacks just offsets.

As a director, Chen Jingxing, even if there are so-called opposite directors provoked by irrational fans, such as Ning Hao, Li An, Cameron, etc., but these directors' fans are not popular, or how can a normal director have so many fans of Chen Jingxing.

But no matter what some tendentious netizens think about Chen Jingxing's "low drive and high drive" in recent years, more and more evil film productions, the film market is mainly supported by passers-by.

The comments of film critics and the public did not make the Douban score of "Interstellar" seem overrated.

However, for the final chapter of this space trilogy, the evaluation is slightly polarized.

I like it so much I can't wait to put it on the altar, and even think this is Chen Jingxing's best movie.

"Scientists will debate, theologians will think, and philosophers will be curious. It has exceeded my best imagination for space movies."

"Forgive me, Inception, I'm a sucker for the old, it's the best movie I've ever seen.

Very hard core scientific but extremely delicate story, those who talk about this bug and that bug, please watch it a few more times, there is also a performance at the actor level, the factory flowers really make me admire, Chen Jingxing's cake is the best cake, I don't accept it refute!
And one of the best soundtracks of all time, I went home and looped it all night.

Although the story is a bit complicated and mind-boggling, it allows you to think deeply about the universe and family. It is a masterpiece that I can repeat over and over again. "

"Director Chen is amazing. Others' movie series are anticlimactic, but he does the opposite. "Matrix III" is the best in the series, and "Interstellar" is also the best in the space trilogy, and it directly sublimates the entire space series."

"Jing Shen is a film directed for your brain to expand your understanding of time, any rating below a 9 is bullshit."

"I think "Interstellar" is like a beautiful poem, the emotional line, character creation and science fiction concept are all perfectly integrated to the peak, surpassing all the previous films of Director Chen.

The role of Lei Datou is so shocking. This villain is not only unexpected, but also horrifying.

Is human nature the shackles for human beings to leave the earth?
There is also "Don't go gentle into that good night", this poem runs through the entire space trilogy, every time I hear it, I have a new experience, absolutely. "

In addition to this kind of praise to the altar, there are also some comments that are a little disappointed with this movie.

For example, the family drama is a bit too lengthy, if it weren't for Chen Jingxing's signature, people might not have the patience to continue watching it.

I also think that the final ending is a bit of a mechanical descending, and a five-dimensional civilization is forced to fulfill the father-daughter relationship of the male protagonist. Even if this five-dimensional civilization is the future human beings, it feels a bit far-fetched and nonsense.

Some people feel that the movie has a feeling of "love can generate electricity", and the element of emotion is overrated, and the world is saved by love.

Chinese audiences and European and American audiences do have some subtle differences in concepts on this point, and they are more disgusted with narratives that are more white and leftist.

However, there are not many such criticisms, because Chen Jingxing has considered this point in the process of Sinicization.

Compared with the original version, first of all, the blight was replaced with solar expansion-he really felt that the setting of the blight was a bit big.

Because humans did not solve the blight from the beginning to the end in the original version, even if they finally migrated to the space city, why would there be no blight in the crops?Are the crops grown on livable alien planets free of blight?

If the blight is some kind of virus, isolating crops and viruses can also be achieved on the earth, so that humans will not be driven to a dead end. Besides, artificially synthesizing starch is more realistic than solving the sci-fi technology of gravitational equations.

If the wilt is not a virus, but a genetic mutation, but the genetic mutation is random, it is a bit unreasonable for all plants to have a genetic mutation directed to the wilt.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if it is said that the genetic disease is caused by abnormal gravitational phenomena, does the space city have normal gravitational force?Is the gravity of the planet close to the black hole on the wormhole normal?

Plants are withered and extinct, and oxygen disappears. Humans can also electrolyze water to artificially produce oxygen?
In any case, it is normal for humans to suffer heavy losses due to blight, but it is still far-fetched to make humans extinct.

If it is really necessary to design a disaster that occurs slowly and leaves humans with nowhere to go but extinction, solar expansion is obviously more reliable than blight.

The second is to transform the character design of Lei Jiayin. In the original version, Lei Jiayin is actually a relatively simple villain who is completely cowardly, selfish, and despicable, and who finds a noble reason for himself.

And Chen Jingxing added the new setting of having children from the original setting of having no children and no family.

Then a discussion on human nature was introduced—the family affection and the love of parents for their children were attached to something more grand, so that the role of Lei Jiayin became a more attractive villain and a repentant determination to learn from the teacher and abandon human nature. Shackles' staunch racial survivalists.

And it also wraps love into the concept of human nature in a certain sense, thus dispelling part of the perception of "love can generate electricity, love saves everything" in the original version, and turns love saving mankind into humanity saving mankind.

It's not that the two are superior or inferior, but that Chinese audiences do have different ideas from European and American audiences.
