Reborn I want to surf

Chapter 1101 opened the door

"Ahhh-"

"Brothers, guess what I saw? I thought it was fake, you know? I thought everything in the trailer was all special effects. This crew is so cruel..."

New Year's Day, a small northern town.

Cheng Yan, a clear and stupid college student, is visiting relatives with his parents. In these days, young people don't like to visit relatives anymore. They can only see each other a few times a year. When they do, they have to pretend to be familiar and face torturous gathering rituals - such as Various cross-examinations from the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt.

It's embarrassing.

At this moment, his parents and elders were playing mahjong, and his peers were all younger than him. They couldn't talk to each other, so he had to lie on the sofa and watch short videos. Then he saw an anchor who went to Qingdao Oriental Movie Capital to look for that car. The steel behemoth that has exploded on the Internet.

"I have to run faster, there are too many people!"

The picture in the live broadcast room suddenly started to shake, and the anchor's running and breathing could be heard clearly. After a while, he stopped and said: "I didn't expect there to be so many people. They should all be anchors or UP hosts. They are all taking pictures with their mobile phones... …”

The anchor asked several questions in succession. Most of them were from Qingdao, but also from Jinan, and some from further away were from Beijing and Xuzhou. This place has become a check-in point for Internet celebrities.

"I just asked about it. They also have an event. This car will start at three o'clock every afternoon and drive around along a route... Then let's wait. I will show you this car first. I won't hide it. People said that I was shocked when I first saw it..."

Then there was another jitter, perhaps at the best angle for debugging.

"Okay, this is the legendary "Wandering Earth" carrier vehicle!"

"Fuck!"

Cheng Yan sat up, and a huge front end of a car full of Soviet mechanical beauty suddenly appeared in the camera. He then pulled it back to reveal his whole body, the yellow truck body loaded with ore, and the tires that were taller than a person...

What man doesn’t love excavators?

Cheng Yan became more interested and kept squatting in the live broadcast room. Soon it was 3 o'clock, and sure enough, two staff members appeared. With the sound of the car door opening, they climbed up the ladder into the cab.

Then, the giant beast rumbled and actually started to drive.

Waves of screams came from the scene and poured into his ears through the live broadcast room, making his heart beat loudly and his blood suddenly boiling.

Cheng Yan is not a fan of certain types of movies. As long as they are good movies, he likes to watch them.

"The Wandering Earth" was previously promoting some science fiction masterpiece. He was not very interested in science fiction and did not know Liu Cixin's original work, but at this moment he felt an impulse.

"..."

Cheng Yan paused and opened the Maoyan APP.

During this year's Spring Festival, eight films including "The Wandering Earth", "Flying Life", "Bear Infested - Primitive Era" and "The New King of Comedy" are competing.

There is only one cinema in the small town, with only 5 halls. Only Hall 1 is the lobby, and all the movies are scheduled for "The Wandering Earth".

He clicked on the 5 o'clock one, and was surprised to find that it was almost fully booked, with only four or five seats left. He was a little hesitant at first, but now he made a reservation decisively.

By the way, I bought a popcorn + coke single meal.

Look, Commander Yao is still considerate and does not ignore the emotional needs of singles.

"Mom, I went to watch a movie!"

"Are you taking your little brother with you?"

"I made a date with my high school classmate, and I'm leaving!"

Cheng Yan slipped out and walked for about ten minutes against the cold northern wind before arriving at a comprehensive shopping mall.This mall was built just a few years ago. It has a cinema inside, a Dicos store downstairs, a KTV, milk tea, etc.

Local young people can find a sense of being close to big cities in these shopping malls, but young people coming back from big cities simply look down on these things.

That's the case with Cheng Yan, he just feels stupid.

When it comes to movie theaters, the mountains and valleys are filled with people. The theater chains in the lower market have successfully attracted countless rural youths. Going to see a movie during the Spring Festival is no longer an inconspicuous thing.

Entered the venue and sat down in the corner, the location was quite remote.

The lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and after a series of commercials, "The Wandering Earth" was officially screened.Starting with the producers, there are only four companies:

99 Entertainment, Jiahe, Maili, China Film!
The three families belong to Yao Yuan.

"Look, look, it's Jupiter!"

"Daddy, Jupiter has an eye."

"That was a big storm on Jupiter..."

At the beach at night, Wu Jing, his son and Wu Mengda lit up a bonfire and observed Jupiter with a telescope.

This version of "The Wandering Earth" has been planned to be a trilogy since preparation. The script is written in one go, and the connection is more natural than the original version.For example, Han Duoduo, played by Wang Zhi, appeared in several scenes in the first part, and Wu Mengtat also added a lot of material and kept it for later use.

"Initially, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire or a drought..."

The plot unfolds in an orderly manner, introducing the causes and consequences. Then it cuts into the underground city and Liu Qi appears. Coinciding with the Spring Festival of 2075, the audience is presented with a Chinese-style "wasteland style".

Zhang Yimou and others cannot understand these things, but young people who have been influenced by various subcultures smile knowingly.

The sun is going to be destroyed. Human beings have fled with the earth and are hiding in underground cities. In such a wasteland-like background, there are a large number of extremely normal neighborhood committee aunts, Spring Festival, Wangfujing, sports uniforms that have not changed for 800 years, Little Overlord and Contra...

And the most classic sentence:
"The Third Transportation Committee of BJ City reminds you: There are tens of millions of roads, and safety is the first priority. If driving is not standardized, your loved ones will burst into tears!"

Hey, don't say it doesn't rhyme.

It just tastes right if it doesn't rhyme.

And this strong sense of contrast and dissonance is exactly the authentic flavor of science fiction!

Cheng Yan fell in love immediately. Science fiction blockbusters have a quality that is hard to describe. He never thought he could see it in a domestic movie.

Especially as the plot progressed, Liu Qi took Han Duoduo to the surface, drove the transport vehicle, and then the long shot that went down in history was blasted in front of the entire audience.

Hiss!
Cheng Yan's hair stood on end.

In this way, "The Wandering Earth" has been upgraded in all aspects, including special effects, props, narration... the 2 hours and 10 minutes of the movie does not feel long at all, and there is no point in it.

“The first stage: Human beings use all their resources to build [-] planetary engines to drive the earth forward and [-] underground cities to shelter human life.

The second stage: The steering engines that circle the equator are turned on one after another, driving the earth to stop rotating.The earth stopped spinning, causing huge tsunamis to sweep across the world, and the global population dropped by nearly half.

The third stage: the earth will use the sun and Jupiter to complete the final accelerated sprint and officially embark on a journey of wandering.

The fourth stage: After the earth leaves the solar system, the planetary engine is turned on at full power, accelerating to 500/1300 of the speed of light in 700 years, and coasting for [-] years, then turning the direction of the engine, and then decelerating in [-] years.

The fifth stage: The Earth docks into the target star system and reaches its new home, becoming a new planet in the target star system.

This plan will last for a hundred generations. Although we don’t know what kind of home the new sun 4.2 light-years away will bring, starting from today, human courage and perseverance will be engraved under the stars forever.

This coexistence of despair and hope, a long journey into the universe that lasts for 2500 years, is known in history as the Wandering Earth Project! "

The film is over.

When the lights came back on, Cheng Yan couldn't calm down while sitting in his chair. He had just experienced a wonderful movie-watching trip, and the beauty lay not only in the movie itself, but also in the fact that he understood the romance of the movie.

This is a romance that is different from Hollywood. Whether it is the personal sacrifice of thousands of people, or the sense of fearlessness in taking the earth to the universe, he understands it!
"Huh..." He breathed out, stood up slowly, and left the scene with the crowd.

When he returned to his relatives' house, the sound of mahjong was still playing. Cheng Yan lay back on the sofa and turned on his mobile phone. He couldn't wait to chat in various groups: "I just finished watching "The Wandering Earth". It's so cool. I highly recommend it!"

Immediately afterwards, I went to Maoyan, Maili, Midou and other communities to search for related content like a moron.

When I see recommended UP owners and netizens who praise, I feel an inexplicable sense of pride. When I see those who slander and criticize, I angrily spray for [-] rounds.

This is a common feature of contemporary netizens.

They need to integrate personal emotions with public emotions, find their own team, find the enemy's team, and then output wildly to vent...

For better or for worse.

"I didn't expect that China could make such a large-scale science fiction film. I used to feel that we were far away from foreign science fiction films. This time I saw the familiar big pants and the Oriental Pearl Tower turned into a frozen apocalyptic scene. It was both Curious and sad at the same time.”

"It is a good-looking genre film from all aspects. The most special thing is that it is a domestic science fiction film, which will satisfy both movie fans and science fiction fans.

There is definitely a gap compared with the best Hollywood visual effects movies, but the gap is already visible to the naked eye, and the rest will have a chance to catch up over time.

Pursuing the broadest emotional resonance is what all commercial genre films strive to achieve. It may seem vulgar to some people, but I think this should be something to be proud of. "

"A subpar movie.

The scientific setting failed, the script failed, the direction and acting failed.

There are also failing values, and I want to emphasize this point: you have to draw lots to enter the dungeon, what about those who don’t win?According to the setting, the problem of the sun will occur in 100 years. Those who did not win the lottery could have lived until natural death. However, because of your plan to wander, people entered an unsurvivable environment early.The movie says nothing about this at all and doesn't intend to discuss it at all.Because in the minds of Liu Cixin and the crew, sacrificing some people is not worth discussing, right?
If it hadn't been so flattering and had four stars, I might have given this movie two stars.Now I will only give it one star.Because it’s disgusting! ! "

…………

There has been a lot of noise online.

This did not affect Guo Fan, Wu Jing and others who were on the road show, because they had no time to watch it. Starting from theaters in the capital, they divided their forces into three groups and spread across the country. Wu Mengda took the initiative to participate in a few shows even though he was sick.

It was released on February 2th, and by the 5th, Guo Fan was already in Hangzhou.

"In fact, after listening to your feelings, including the exchange between us just now, I am most touched that you all understand "The Wandering Earth"..."

In a theater, Guo Fan stood on the stage and was deeply moved. He said sincerely: "When we produce a work, of course the results are important, but what we are most afraid of is that we do not express our ideas and the audience cannot understand it.

Not only did you understand it, you even understood it more deeply than I thought. I see that most of you here are young people. You are really great! "

He gives a thumbs up.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

Amidst the applause, Guo Fan came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After getting in the car, he asked Gong Geer: "Has the box office been released on the first day?"

"not yet!"

"Then I'll take a nap first."

Guo Fan drank some water and fell asleep.

On the way, it was their rest time. After sleeping for more than an hour, they woke up and asked again: "Has the box office been out on the first day?"

"Just came out, 1.88 million!"

"1.88 million..."

Guo Fan was slightly relieved. In today's movie market, this data is not top-notch, but it is still first-rate.Of course he is under great pressure, with an investment of 8 million!

In other words, "The Great Wall", which is said to have a US$1.5 million, is higher than itself.

What he envisioned in his heart was to be satisfied with a box office of 30 billion, so at least he wouldn't lose money.

Just like this, running around on the road show, another day passed in the blink of an eye. Still in the car, Guo Fan asked: "Did the box office come out yesterday (referring to the second day)?"

"Come out, 3 million!"

"How many???"

"3 million! President Yu personally sent me a message."

Gong Geer showed him the phone.

"This is over 1 million!"

"Not only that, we have overtaken it to the first place in the Spring Festival period, including "Flying Life" and "The New King of Comedy"!"

Gong Geer knew that he was under great pressure, so he encouraged him and said with a smile: "Do you know what the audience calls us now?"

"what?"

"The first true Chinese science fiction blockbuster! A milestone! Opening the door to Chinese science fiction!"

Bang bang bang!
It was like three shots of cardiotonic shot into Guo Fan's heart. It began to beat violently, blood rushed upward, and his cheeks were a little red, especially when he thought of the days and nights he spent working on this movie...

"It's worth it!"

"It's worth it!"

……

Originally there was still competition for "Crazy Alien", but now it's gone. "The Wandering Earth" dominates the Spring Festival stalls with an unparalleled momentum.

Seven days later, the box office has soared to 24 billion!
Ten days, 36 billion!
The original price was 46.85 billion. Now with Yao Yuan’s full support and overwhelming publicity and subsidies, it will have to exceed 50 billion at least.

During this period, "Xinwen Lianbo" reported it again.

Speaking of which, "Xinwen Lianbo" is also a scam. It helped promote many movies, such as "Robot", "The Promise", "Sky King", etc., and each one was more popular than the other.

"The Wandering Earth" is so successful, the faces of the two bosses are also shining.

The official media followed up with praise, which really set off a science fiction craze. For a while, Stars and Sea became popular culture.

……

"Shanghai Fortress" is so fun!

The film is adapted from Jiang Nan's novel of the same name. He wrote the script in 2013, started conceptual design in 2014, and scouted and set up the location in 2016. He worked so hard and persevered that Lu Han didn't even have time to edit the movie.

It is said that it cost 3.6 million yuan and took three months to finally film it and is preparing to release it this year.

I was worried about how to promote it, but when I saw "The Wandering Earth" it exploded, oh!I happened to be dozing off and someone gave me a pillow.

"A 50-meter carrier vehicle is nothing! We have a 900-kilometer-long alien mothership... Let me promote it and call it a science fiction blockbuster, no no, call it a war blockbuster... No no, call it a science fiction war blockbuster!"

""Shanghai Fortress", a domestic science fiction war masterpiece!"

(no more...)
