Chapter 657: The Space Agency Debates with Scholars

Chapter 657: The Space Agency Debates with Scholars
The National Space Administration is located outside the West Second Ring Road of Beijing, adjacent to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, forming an aerospace science and technology park, adjacent to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and Yuyuantan Park.

Along the way, the modern sense of technology and the natural scenery complement each other, which seems to complement each other and makes Sun Yi feel relaxed and happy.

As the headquarters of the country's leading scientific research unit, the security measures are naturally extremely strict.

Even with Mr. Han's advance appointment, Sun Yi, Liu Yifei and their group still underwent layers of inspection.

No flammable items, including lighters, are allowed to enter. Even electronic products such as mobile phones and cameras must be handed over to the space agency's special entourage. Taking photos or videos at will is not allowed.

Sun Yi expressed his understanding of all of this and even felt that it was the right thing to do.

After all, the aerospace industry is almost the technological ceiling of a country, and strict confidentiality measures are indispensable.

They were received by a director of the space agency.

"Xiao Sun, this is Director Liu from the General Affairs Department of the Space Administration. He is in charge of coordinating our space film and television publicity project."

Space film and television publicity project?

Sun Yi secretly glanced at Mr. Han and nodded secretly in his heart.

Having thighs is good, just the name
As soon as you hear it, you know that we are organized.

"Good leadership."

"Haha, Director Sun, you're too polite. Come in, please."

Director Liu first took everyone to visit the exhibition area inside the Space Administration, which included models of the Shenzhou series of spacecraft and the Chang'e satellite.

At the same time, he was having a friendly conversation with Sun Yi and his group.

"I received an official letter from Chairman Han before, which mentioned that China Film Group Corporation would work with Star Films to shoot a film reflecting the development of my country's aerospace industry, and hoped that our space agency could provide some help."

"We are all very familiar with China Film Group and Director Sun."

"Last year's film, Wings of the Sky, did a great job of publicizing the heroic deeds of China's first generation of air force officers and soldiers. We even specially organized a viewing for them, and the response was very good."

“Now it’s finally our turn haha”

"So, after receiving the news, the bureau's leadership team attached great importance to it and even convened a party committee meeting, specifically pointing out that to build a space power, we cannot just work hard, but also focus on promoting the spirit of space. They specifically instructed me to take this opportunity to be fully responsible for this task."

"Boss Han and Director Xiao Sun, if you have any requests or difficulties, you can tell me."

After hearing this, Sun Yi's mind suddenly became clear.

With the support of the National Space Administration, the probability of the film's success has doubled.

In fact, Sun Yi had questioned his attitude towards the Space Administration before.

Because in his impression, major scientific and technological departments in China, including military industry, aerospace, shipbuilding, etc., have been maintaining a low-key development and never showing off at this time in the past 10 years.

Later, because it developed too well and too fast, it could no longer keep a low profile, and even blinded the eyes of many foreigners, and then it gradually surfaced.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the aerospace department had already begun to think that it was no longer low-key.

However, it also happened to help Sun Yi.

The so-called right time, right place and right people all come together here.

At this time, Sun Yi could no longer play reserved games.

I just asked openly for help from the space agency.

For example, we hope that the leading actor of the movie can participate in the daily training of astronauts, or at least experience a period of astronaut life, master and get used to everything about astronauts.

There is also hope that the space agency can provide some real aerospace equipment and data in a limited manner, including guidance on the internal structure of spacecraft models, simulation construction of aerospace systems, theoretical guidance on related space knowledge, and so on.

Sun Yi talked a lot, and Han Sanping's expression looked a little unnatural.

He is a director and is so busy with his daily work that he doesn't have the time to listen to you chanting every word. He is just saying this politely and tells you to leave the specific work to the staff below.

Unexpectedly, Director Liu was very serious and asked his secretary to write down all the requests made by Sun Yi and then solve them for him one by one.

Those who can make the final decision now have directly agreed, including the leading actor's participation in astronaut training.

Since even he couldn't make the decision, he said to put it on hold for the time being until he went back to ask his superiors for instructions, such as the borrowing of some aerospace equipment.

Sun Yi understood this very well and even thanked him repeatedly.

Finally, Director Liu also made a request to Sun Yi, which was the issue of the script.

As for the script, the space agency hopes to be involved in the review.

Sun Yizi thought about it for a moment and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

In fact, since his debut, there are really few people who can give suggestions for his scripts, because the stories Sun Yi brings out are all classic stories that have been verified by later generations.

The same is true for this time's "Gravity".

However, after all, the background of the story has been changed, and the professionalism of space-related topics is so strong that Sun Yi himself was afraid of taking things for granted.

After all, in his previous life, he had only seen the finished film, and he did not participate in the specific script writing process. He just re-adapted a Chinese version based on his current script writing experience and director's vision.

It is very likely that there are some details that he did not notice or he got them wrong.

In addition, the story involves the aerospace sector, and the various high-tech contents contained therein also contain many sensitive elements.

It would be reasonable to let the space agency review it.

Director Liu was very happy to see the great director Sun Yi nodded in agreement. He had thought that artistic creators like Sun Yi were the same as the scientists in their bureau.

They may seem fine on the surface, but they are actually very stubborn deep down. If you say something about their projects, they will pick up a weapon and fight you to the death.

"Well, Director Sun, there happens to be a seminar today for this film and television publicity project. Why don't we attend it together?"

Oh? Is it really such a coincidence?

I'm here today, and there's a seminar today?

Sun Yi didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, but it didn't matter. He had nothing to be afraid of.

"Old Wu, why did you call us all here today? Just to read this story?"

"Old Zhao, don't talk nonsense. This is a script written by a famous director."

"What script? It's just nonsense. How can they, who are just camera operators, know anything about aerospace? Hurry up, don't waste my time. Let me go back quickly. My remote sensing observation experiment is just one step away from demonstration."

"Old Zhao, please sit down for a while. This is a publicity task for the bureau. It won't take you long. Let's review this script carefully. It will also be beneficial to promoting the spirit of aerospace."

"Okay, okay, you're the secretary, you have the final say, where's that director? Hurry up!"

As Sun Yi and his group walked to the door of the conference room, they heard the argument inside.

The one who reacted the most was Liu Yifei. When she realized that the people inside were commenting on Sun Yi in this way, her pair of beautiful eyebrows immediately raised.

She didn't care which expert or leader was sitting inside. She was just unhappy when she saw such disrespect to her brother.

He rolled up his sleeves and had a big fight with the old man inside. Director Liu, who was standing by, also looked a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and explained.

"Well, as a researcher, I speak my mind. I don't mean anything else."

Sun Yi nodded with a wry smile on his face.

He now understood the attitude of these scientists towards his script.

If nothing unexpected happens, what awaits me next will be a tough battle.

As expected, as soon as he entered the meeting room, Sun Yi noticed more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

There were quite a lot of people, all of them dressed like scientific researchers with silver hair, glasses and white coats.

With this temperament, he should at least be a project leader.

"Ha, Director Sun is here. We all heard that you are going to make a movie about promoting the Chinese aerospace spirit. We are very excited and would like to discuss it with you."

An elderly man who looked like a leader sitting in the middle of the crowd gave a sermon with a slightly apologetic tone.

Sun Yi felt the voice was familiar. It should be the Old Wu in the previous conversation, the secretary, the leader of this group of people.

"Director Sun, you don't mind, do you?"

I have attended Peking University’s Centennial Lecture Hall, so what could I miss?

Sun Yi's competitive spirit was also aroused. He just shook his head and did not feel uncomfortable because of the dozens of gazes. On the contrary, he walked to the podium in the conference room quite confidently and stood there leisurely.

Then he looked around and replied with a smile:
"Of course I don't mind. The teachers here are the leaders of our country's aerospace industry. It is my honor to discuss the script with you all."

"Haha, young man, you are not afraid of the stage and you are full of energy and spirit. Not bad, not bad. I like you. You are a photography major, right? My project team is in need of an experimental recorder. Are you interested?"

"Old Zhao, stop saying those useless words."

Secretary Wu finally couldn't help it and scolded in a low voice, and the latter curled his lips indifferently.

Director Liu sat aside, looking helpless.

These scientists really don't tolerate anyone's illness.

But, what do you think of letting a big director who holds a billion-dollar box office record to be your experimental recorder? ! ? ?
Secretary Wu waved his hand, turned to look at Sun Yi in front of him, and said with a smile:
"We have all read Director Xiao Sun's script. It is a thrilling and exciting space journey."

"First of all, I have to express my gratitude to you for daring to propose making a space-themed movie. I have to say that this is a dream come true for us Chinese aerospace people."

"Before, we could only watch Hollywood space movies in the cinema. To be honest, I envied them from the bottom of my heart. We also hope to have a movie that reflects our own space industry."

“Now, you’re here.”

“So, I have to thank you.”

"I can't take it seriously. This is what I should do."

Sun Yi bowed and nodded modestly.

Although he is competitive, he also knows that these people are the real backbone of the entire Chinese nation, not directors and stars like him.

Therefore, Sun Yi still respects him very much in his heart.

"I saw your Pacific Rim in the cinema. It was very well made. I believe that as long as it is of this level, Gravity will definitely not be bad either."

"However, we feel that some details in your script still need to be discussed."

Secretary Wu's speech was a starting point, and a female professor who had been writing and calculating without saying a word since Sun Yi entered the meeting room suddenly took over the conversation.

She closed the book and asked Sun Yi:

"Director Sun, at the beginning of your script, a certain space power launched a missile to destroy an old satellite, which accidentally created a chain reaction that damaged our space station, so that the space team was trapped in a situation where they could not return. Afterwards, high-speed space debris circled every 90 minutes, bringing unparalleled difficulties to the surviving astronauts?"

"Yes."

“This is not quite realistic.”

"Please tell me."

"If a satellite really explodes, it will only form a small group of debris, and there will be no chain reaction, because everything is in different orbits, and our space station will not be affected by the explosion of a satellite."

"Yes, Xiao Wang is right. One more thing, Director Xiao Sun, you wrote in the script that the heroine entered the International Space Station from outside after our space station was destroyed. This is not true either."

"No matter which country's space station it is, it is completely impossible to enter the airlock from the outside unless the entry capsule has been prepared in advance."

After the female professor finished speaking, an old professor in the back row added something, and others nearby followed suit.

"Yes, any astronaut cannot enter the cabin from the outside when the hatch of the space station is closed. In other words, after the heroine's accident at our Huaxia Space Station, it is impossible for her to enter the International Space Station from the outside. This is a logical error."

After these people finished speaking, Professor Zhao also spoke:

"There's also a scene where the heroine uses a fire extinguisher to move in space, which is really ridiculous."

"A fire extinguisher can't possibly have enough power to change the trajectory. In fact, it's more likely that she would start spinning and somersaulting as soon as the fire extinguisher was sprayed, and there would be no way she could fly to the rescue ship."

"This force is simply not enough. It completely violates Newton's laws."

The experts and professors present expressed various opinions.

Sun Yi stood in front of the stage and was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt that these national treasure scientists of China were extremely cute.

They are really just looking for various things in the script that are inconsistent with reality, instead of being like those "experts" in the circle who talk at length, but the whole thing is nonsense, simply for the sake of smearing.

Sun Yi listened with a smile. After most of the scientists had finished speaking, he cleared his throat and replied with a smile:
"Dear professors and teachers, first of all, my film is a commercial film, not a science film, so rigor is not its primary attribute."

"Instead, transmissibility comes first."

"What the teachers said is correct, and I accept it humbly, but if it is really shot like this, to be honest, not many people will watch the movie."

"Because it's too profound, and too plain."

"Ordinary moviegoers like big scenes, thrills and excitement. So, I need a 90-minute wave of so-called high-speed fragments, like a sword of Damocles hanging over the protagonist's head, to make the fans feel nervous."

"The same is true for entering the International Space Station from outer space. I will let the protagonist pass by several times but fail to enter, just to make the fans worry along with me."

"This is the kind of commercial film that can stir up the emotions of moviegoers that everyone likes to watch."

"Only when enough people watch the film can it be more widely disseminated and better promote our aerospace spirit."

"As long as Gravity can attract the Chinese public, who originally only cared about their own little world, and make them want to learn more about space, aerospace, and the mysteries of the universe, then I think it is a success."

"The significance of this film is to tell all Chinese people that we should raise our heads and get used to looking up at the stars, because our goal is the sea of ​​stars."

"And it is you who are leading the entire Chinese nation towards this great victory."

"Thirty thousand days of hard work hides fame and fortune, and ninety thousand miles of flying dreams come true at the top of the dome."

 Thanks to Mr. Suifengshibeijiu for the reward, thank you very much!
