Chapter 492 492. Establishing Market Value 【Subscription】

"Why not 7 stars, 8 stars? Perfection is not enough to explain the excellence of this movie! I was moved and watched the whole process with my fists clenching.

The narrative is not procrastinated, without the individual heroism of American disaster films; grand, but still grand, the whole film is full of various imaginations; the special effects are not inferior to imported Hollywood blockbusters, and even some parts are even worse.

It is strongly recommended that the production team quickly buy the copyright of Three-Body Problem, I will wait for three, five or even ten years..."

"I watched the screening of "The Wandering Earth" at school! In addition to the plot of the movie, I saw Mr. Liu on the spot! What is more memorable to me is the filming process told by Director Guo on the spot.

It’s really, really, really difficult. Maybe some people will lose interest when they hear domestic sci-fi (really, even some of my classmates who have read a lot of books around me will be like this). This can’t be blamed on anyone, after all, everyone can watch movies. They all want to see something good-looking, but for friends who are interested in science fiction, let's really take a look.

I believe Mr. Guo, who is also a sci-fi fan and has struggled for so many years, is definitely worth the price of this movie.

"It's amazing, the tight rhythm, multiple plot reversals, and our own values ​​(if it's an ugly movie, it will probably end up letting some elites go to their new homes, and our Huaguo's farming civilization is doomed It means that we cannot let go of our feelings for the land and the earth, and this is the meaning behind the wandering earth."

"Representing the highest level of Huaguo's film industry at present, the special effects and plot are very hard-core, and the emotional tension is properly grasped, without the feeling of being too exaggerated or overdone. This is much better than that of Wolf Warriors.

It can be seen with the naked eye that Huaguo movies are developing in a promising direction, and the era of defrauding money from traffic is slowly passing.Slightly inferior to Interstellar, on par with The Martian.

The behind-the-scenes soundtrack editing is all big names, there are no small fresh meat and no big stars, and the money is used wisely, 10 points are not too much.

Regarding the issue of cultural self-confidence, I would like to say, take your time, one day the Hua people will save the world and there will be no warnings from the wolf warriors. "

"This grand solar system "Spring Festival" is full of passion and heart-warming.

The relationship between father and son, friendship in battle, the emotional and rational choices between humans and artificial intelligence, the movie gives Liu Cixin more elements that are not in the original work.

Relaxed rhythm, two hours, the mood fluctuates with the plot.

Not to mention the exciting and stunning special effects pictures.After watching "The Wandering Earth", we can finally say with confidence: domestic films finally have real hardcore sci-fi films! "

……

After the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" ended, the entire entertainment circle was boiling because of this movie.

no way.

This is Huaguo's first hard science fiction movie.

Speaking of sci-fi.

We had to understand the concepts of science fiction, fantasy and fantasy.

As the name suggests, science fiction is science plus fantasy. Science fiction has certain scientific knowledge or theory in it. As long as you have a certain amount of common sense, you can understand some knowledge points in movies, and some science fiction even represent the direction of future development.

Fantasy and fantasy are based on spells, internal strength, magic, and spiritual power, including a series of imaginary existences such as elves, dwarves, immortals, and Buddhas that cannot be proven by current science.

After clarifying this point.

We should know that all the film and television dramas that can be seen in the Huaguo market, whether it is movies or TV dramas, basically have nothing to do with science fiction, and are basically fantasy.

So is there any sci-fi movie in Huaguo?

Of course there is!
Back in the 80's and 90's,
There have been a number of excellent sci-fi movies in China, such as "Dead Light on Coral Island" and "Poisonous Kiss".

There are also many shadows of the audience's childhood in "Crazy Rabbit".

These are all sci-fi.

However, due to production costs and technical reasons, the scenes are not large, and the content is not hard enough.

Therefore, it cannot be called hard science fiction.

domestic.

Indeed, it has been a long, long time since no good sci-fi movie came out, and even the subject of sci-fi movie has not been seen for a long time.

So we have been blank in this field for too long, but Hollywood's "Interstellar", "Ready Player One", "Star Wars", "The Matrix" and other sci-fi movies once harvested billions of ugly gold at the global box office, Sci-fi movies are popular, and there are no disadvantages. In addition to gaining a large number of fans and high box office, derivatives such as figures and peripherals are booming.

But on the other hand, the domestic industry has stagnated and made no progress in this area.

Although the total annual box office has doubled several times, and the number of movies on theaters has also doubled, relatively speaking, domestic movies have topped the box office of various comedies in recent years, and the bias is still too serious.

With the popularity of "The Wandering Earth".

The actors who participated in the film also exploded.

Especially what Wu Jing said,

It was even taken out by Yang Ma for praise.

For example: Uncle Da said: "It is true that no one would make this kind of film before, because science fiction is relatively weak in China, and of course there may not be any company willing to invest. The director himself is very persistent and spent several years planning to shoot this film. play."

And what Wu Jing said: "Huaguo science fiction films have never been made. If they don't make them, they will be five or ten years behind others. Someone has to make them. If I don't support them, who will support them? I'm holding myself as cannon fodder." The mentality to shoot, but maybe this thing will be done.”

of course,

And what Lu Chen and the others said!

In short, anyway, people related to "The Wandering Earth" are basically popular.

Director Guo also became famous in one battle,
As the box office of "The Wandering Earth" increases,

It is getting closer and closer to the power level.

"The Wandering Earth" is not Director Guo's first work.

Before "The Wandering Earth", he had debuted for several years.

Director Guo's first work is called "The Adventures of Li Xianji". The style of this film is that of a sci-fi film, but the latest feature of a sci-fi film is special effects. This film has no financial support, so it is hard to say anything about special effects.

Later, in order to cater to the market, Director Guo directed the work "You at the Same Table". "You at the Same Table" is a hot IP. After it was released, it also successfully won the box office with several small targets.

Although the quality of "Your Deskmate" is not high, its box office is high.

and so!
Director Guo's grades are quite impressive.
It was faintly comparable to Wu Jing's trend.

Wu Jing also rose to power level through the third movie.

Don't talk about others.

Lu Chen couldn't compare to this result.

This is the truth.

However, the current Lu Chen doesn't pay attention to these things!

Everyone knows that Lu Chen has completed the filming of "Jurassic Park 2", and they also know that Lu Chen is ready to close the filming!

I also know that "The Wandering Earth" has nothing to do with him, but the attention of the media and the audience still hasn't left him.

no way.

Who said that the producer of this movie is Liu Shishi.

therefore.

Lu Chen wanted to keep a low profile, but he couldn't.

These two days.

Since my wife couldn't come out for an interview, Lu Chen could only take the blame.

During the interview, Lu Chen was also asked about the Fengshen project.

"Not yet, preparations are underway."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Because the preparation period for special effects movies is generally relatively long, there is still a long time before the filming starts."

"Then Director Lu, do you have to close the mirror?" The reporter hurriedly asked.

Lu Chen nodded slightly!
"Let's not talk about whether I can come here in a hurry, even if I can, I don't have the energy. After all, I'm going to be a father soon!" After saying this, Lu Chen showed an expectant smile on his face.

The reporter was slightly stunned, and then immediately congratulated: "Congratulations, Director Lu."

"Thank you."

Lu Chen smiled and expressed his thanks.

During the interview.

These reporters still mentioned "The Wandering Earth".

"Director Lu, I can see that you have a high opinion of "The Wandering Earth"!"

"Yes."

"However, many viewers on the Internet expressed dislike of "The Wandering Earth". What do you think is the reason for this?" the reporter asked.

"Science fiction, whether it is a novel or a movie, is first and foremost an art. Since there is no first thing in literature, there is no second in martial arts, then we don't force everyone to have a common standard, and even resolutely oppose the idea of ​​a unified standard. Because once art With a standard, it immediately becomes a caricature of itself."

After a pause, Lu Chen continued: "But respecting everyone's artistic expression and choice does not mean that this industry can have unlimited trial and error.

Huaguo's science fiction once suffered a lot of fate, but with the achievements of Mr. Liu, it ushered in a golden opportunity that is rarely seen in the history of world culture.

Until now, the possibility and energy of this opportunity are still being released, and it seems that it is far from reaching the limit.

In this rare wave, neither the former practitioners nor the former followers can clearly judge the current state.

Everyone seems to have all kinds of possibilities, but it is still difficult to practice.

Therefore, since some people, like us, think that this will be the golden age of Huaguo's leading role in science fiction, some people will judge that this is just a gilded bubble caused by luck.

In the complex contemporary context, this little controversy is not important. "

"Like this?"

Some reporters do not understand the difference.Even a little confused.

I don't understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words!
A bit unanswered.

Seeing some confused reporters,
Lu Chen explained: "The cultural industry has its own cycle. If you miss a window, no one knows whether you will have a chance next time. History can spiral upwards, but it will not simply repeat itself, let alone wait.

With this opportunity now, Huaguo Science Fiction has a leader, a social foundation, capital attention, and a social development trend that will continue to rise.

If you can't open up a large-scale market for the commercialization of science fiction in one go, is there a better opportunity?A large-scale sci-fi movie is not only the commanding height on the battlefield, but also the only breakthrough to create a sci-fi commercial market. "

"That's it!"

Hearing what Lu Chen said, these reporters also understood.

"The Wandering Earth" may not be as good as expected.

But as filmmakers, Lu Chen and the others need to establish the market value of this subject matter. Perhaps this is why Yang Ma and countless media have praised "The Wandering Earth".

Hollywood established the market value of sci-fi, not by "Arrival", "The Night the Comet Came", "Her", "District 2001", "Moon", or even "Blade Runner", "Dune" and "[-]".

Before the blockbuster logic was launched in the 90s, it was "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" that established credible cosmic narratives. "Terminator", "Alien" and "Total Recall" let the audience know the excitement of sci-fi action dramas. forges a credible bridge between everyday experience and the human spirit.

These films are indeed more commercial, more conventional, and lack the so-called "artistic uniqueness".

But let us judge from a more practical and utilitarian perspective: based on these movies, a large number of imitations appeared in Hollywood and even the world.

It is these technologies that are not geniuses but can be learned by ordinary people that have opened up paths and "leaved a cooking skill for future generations".

This is what the classics of film history cannot and will not do. After all, the reason why they become classics is because others cannot imitate them.

In this situation.

Many people's evaluation after watching "The Wandering Earth" is this: This is a movie with a poor plot logic.

This is an emotionally fake movie.

This is a goofy movie.

Some people even said: The plot where the rescue team of all mankind assists each other in the climax is too hypocritical.

Then the problem is coming!

Are these people ignorant of science fiction?
of course not.

the reason is simple,
That is, the standard they use to evaluate "The Wandering Earth" is the standard of Hollywood.

Not by the standards of the Chinese.

Countless people praise "The Wandering Earth", not to say how good "The Wandering Earth" is, but because they want to establish the market value of science fiction through "The Wandering Earth".

As long as the market value is established.

Then there will be a steady stream of resources invested in this field in the future.

Just succeed.

It is the hope of science fiction movies in Huaguo, and it is a treasure that will never be lost again.

There is no shortage of money for science fiction movies in China!
The only difficulty is the adaptation.

That's right, it's an adaptation.

Adapting is difficult, and adapting science fiction is even more difficult. This is a historical problem.

This is why Lu Chen has never touched this subject before!

Non-professional.

I really don't understand this subject.

Lu Chen and the others have done a lot of analysis before, and the success rate of adaptation works is not high, especially science fiction novels.

Because movies are not novels after all, and the two have different unique techniques to attract audiences, but they cannot be used directly.

When reading science fiction, readers are excited by the grand scenes filled in their brains, and the small but important human behaviors highlighted in this context.

But this kind of aesthetic experience is obviously difficult to be directly used in movies. On the contrary, the audience's excitement about "Avatar", "Interstellar" and "The Martian" is also difficult to reproduce in novels.

Reflecting the confrontation between human beings and the universe, novels can be accepted by readers in only a few hundred words, but movies must start from the small world around the characters and reveal this huge new universe bit by bit.

After all, this is a world where the earth is far from the sun and humans live in dungeons. Such a brand-new concept and scenario must give the audience enough credible clues to guide him to accept it a little bit.

Because movies have to face tens of millions of audiences, even audiences who don't read science fiction at all, rather than thousands of readers who are already familiar with science fiction.

Movies cannot rely on readers' own imagination to fill them in. They must convince the audience with clear, clear, detailed pictures and sounds, and even make readers associate with the taste, temperature, power and speed.

therefore!

This topic is really not for everyone!
