Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Finally, the supporters took the initiative, convinced the supervisor, and agreed to the rescue operation.

Of course, things are not that simple. The rocket cannot be launched immediately, and they have to contact Mark first.

In the end, Mark had a flash of inspiration and found a way.

In 2015, China launched the "Stone Monkey" Mars rover. After completing the mission, the rover stayed on Mars forever because of energy exhaustion, but it was not damaged. As long as it is powered again, it is very likely to restart.

The rover is used to explore the terrain of Mars. It has a camera. As long as it is successfully started and contacted with the earth, it can communicate through pictures.

Fortunately, the space center also guessed Mark's purpose based on Mark's movement trajectory on the satellite map.

In the next ten minutes, Mark can be said to be completely favored by the goddess of luck.

The movie is set in 2030, and the 2015 "Stone Monkey" Mars rover has been on Mars for a full fifteen years. It still successfully started and contacted the earth.

The potatoes planted by Mark also grew very smoothly, and the first batch harvested a full 400 potatoes.

During this period, the audience was also moved.

For example, when the camera of the Stone Monkey turned for the first time, Mark excitedly yelled and screamed, as if he was crazy.

And when the potatoes were planted, Mark shed tears when he saw a bunch of potatoes.

It was these little hopes, like the gentle rain that moistened things silently, that quietly penetrated into the hearts of the audience, making them cheer for every little difficulty Mark overcame, and also worried about the difficulties Mark encountered.

Just like it is impossible for all movies to let the protagonist arrive at the destination safely, Mark also encountered difficulties.

First of all, his vegetable garden was damaged in another black storm, and it happened to be Mark's vegetable garden.

Then there was another bad news that made the audience worried. The launcher that the space center rushed to transport supplies also exploded after taking off.

"Wouldn't it take at least three months to wait!" When the audience saw the rocket explode, despair appeared in their eyes.

Because the speed of building these vehicles has been mentioned more than once in the previous movies, and three months is already the fastest. Now that everyone has watched a "fireworks show", it will take another three months to wait for the next rocket to take off. But can Mark, who has lost his vegetable field, wait another three months?

As the people in the aerospace center in the movie showed desperate expressions, the audience already knew the answer without asking.

Of course, the plot will not completely block Mark's way of survival. The next second, the camera switches, and the news reports the news of the rocket launch failure, but the news is watched by Americans.

It turns out that the Americans also have a Mars launch plan, and it has been prepared for a long time.

With the initiative of the United States, the two sides established cooperation. At the same time, a genius expert in astrodynamics had a good idea. He actually suggested that the Shenzhou, which was about to return to the earth, should not land on the earth, but directly return to Mars along the earth's orbit with the materials launched.

This proposal was of course strongly rejected by the director of the aerospace center.

"This is actually a multiple-choice question, just like Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. Is it worth saving one out of six?" Wang Jinsong said to Professor Luo Ran beside him.

"But this is indeed a test of human nature. I like it in the movie because this plot will make the audience choose to think. No matter what answer is obtained, it is a gain for the audience." Luo Ran replied with a smile.

Both of them are professors of Beijing Electric Power University, but one is responsible for acting and the other is responsible for directing. But they are also Nie Wei's mentors. Wang Jinsong is Nie Wei's class mentor for four years of college, and Nie Wei's doctoral supervisor is Luo Ran.

Although Nie Wei may be the student who Luo Ran hates to go to class the most, he is also the student that makes him proudest, or the student that makes the entire Beijing Electric Power University proud.

"Well, you are right." After listening to Luo Ran's words, Wang Jinsong smiled and nodded.

A good movie is to make the audience think and experience the choices made by people in the movie. These choices are often not absolutely right or wrong, but the more so, the more worthy of the audience's deep thought.

Of course, at this moment, most of the audience were still angry about the refusal of the director of the space center.

"This director is stubborn. What the director just said was right. The scientific expedition team members on the spacecraft should make the decision on this matter."

"I hate people who don't seek credit but avoid mistakes. They are just sitting there doing nothing."

"According to what this director said, why do we have so many plans? Anyway, Mark will definitely starve to death by then. Let's just go to bed."

Most of the audience were very unhappy with this director who kept obstructing the rescue.

But there were also a small number of people who agreed with the director's approach.

"In the choice between one and six, I might choose six."

"What's wrong with this director's choice? I think this is the most rational. After all, the experts also said that this theoretical action is dangerous. Why should people who are not in any danger risk their lives to save others?"

"I still support the director's idea, but I know that the movie will definitely not play it like this."

Just as a certain audience guessed, the suggestion made by this expert in astrodynamics was passed on to the scientific expedition personnel on the Tiangong by someone with a caring heart. After their vote, they unanimously decided to go back to save Mark.

The audience, who were extremely depressed because of Mark's continuous bad luck, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

After experiencing many difficulties, Mark was finally rescued back to the spacecraft by the scientific expedition team. The story is nearing its end. In the early and middle stages, the audience would discuss with each other in a low voice, but at the end, as the plot became more and more tense, the audience's discussion had long disappeared.

Only occasionally did the audience exclaim in the screening room, which must be when Mark was in danger, but everything returned to Earth with Mark, and the audience could finally let go of their hearts that had been hanging for more than two hours and smiled with ease.

As the relaxing music at the end of the film sounded, the audience did not leave, because they were already familiar with Nie Wei's directing style, and there must be an Easter egg at the end of the film.

As expected, after a few subtitles, the Easter egg appeared in the expectation of everyone.

First, the director of the space center who had insisted on saving Mark came to the stage to speak. China was going to hold a manned scientific expedition to Mars again. When the reporter asked what was different about this plan from the previous one, the director replied humorously: "There is no difference. If there is, I hope that my team members can return to Earth at the same time this time."

There was a chuckle in the theater. The audience who had just watched the movie obviously knew why the director said that.

There were also the daily lives of several members of the scientific expedition team. The guy who drove the spacecraft became a senior and flew to Mars again with a group of new students.

The computer expert and the chemistry expert in the scientific expedition team had a good impression of each other in the last operation. There was no further introduction in the feature film, but in the easter egg, the two even had a pair of twins.

There was also the scientific expedition captain who was complained by Mark for his "poor" music taste. This time, he finally changed the music, and it was Nie Wei's classic "we-are-young".

What's even funnier is that when the scientific research captain played by Fan Binbin asked Mark with his mobile phone, "Is this song also bad?", the audience couldn't help laughing again.

Of course, the protagonist Mark did not miss out on the Easter egg at the end. He went to the university to give a speech.

"I think it's like life. It's impossible to always be smooth sailing. Sometimes, there will be a lot of bad luck. What we need to do at this time is not to accept it, otherwise your life will be over."

"What we need is hard work. You have to think that this is just the beginning. We solve one problem and then another. Don't be knocked down by the problems, but knock them down. When we solve enough problems, you will succeed, just like I returned to Earth from Mars."

Mark on the podium seemed like an old man who looked down on life. He told his feelings in a calm tone. As the voice fell, applause broke out.

And it was not just the students who applauded on the screen, but also some of the audience watching the movie.

Mark's speech seemed simple, and many people understood it, but those who had just watched the movie could deeply understand Mark's inner feelings when he said this.

At the same time, they also felt the same way.

It is precisely because Mark has this precious quality of not being defeated by difficulties that he can survive on Mars. The same principle applies to everyone.

After watching the two and a half hour movie, the audience did not feel tired, but felt that they were still not satisfied.

When walking out of the screening room, many people were discussing loudly, and they also actively participated in the survey at the entrance of the theater.

"This movie is so interesting. Some people say it is a space version of "Robinson Crusoe". I think this may not be appropriate. Although both are stories about surviving alone, they are actually different. I may prefer "The Martian" because I like the protagonist Mark who always maintains a mentality of hard work and hope."

"Nie Wei is very handsome, Fan Binbin is also very beautiful, and of course Uncle Daoming is also very stylish."

"I think this movie is very meaningful. Surviving on Mars is just a surface in my opinion, and what it wants to express in its bones is the attitude of people when facing difficulties, and the consequences of choices. These are all worth it. We, the audience, have to think about it. I have decided to watch it again. "

"Nie Wei's movies did not disappoint us as usual. This movie is really great. Those who said on the Internet that Nie Wei only uses special effects to make some hot shots to attract the audience can shut up. There are no hot shots in this movie from beginning to end, but it deeply attracted me!"

"The main line is clear, the rhythm is tight, the plot is not bloody, and there is no deliberate sensationalism. The touch during the process makes me feel very pure, which is the kind of touch that comes completely from the heart."

The messages were received by the theater, then transferred back to the company, and then handed over to Nie Wei.

The film evaluation survey on the first day showed that the audience's satisfaction was as high as 97%, and only 3% of the audience felt that it did not meet their expectations, but the vast majority of the audience agreed that this was a rare good movie.

Of course, there were also some points that were complained by the audience.

For example, the problem of implantation.

Mark drank milk from Yili, so Nie Wei specially designed a 1L package for Yili, which appeared in the movie with a brand new package.

For this packaging design and the less than six-second shot in the movie, Yili paid a full five million dollars for placement.

Of course, all this is obviously worth it. The first day of the movie was broadcast, and it was also the second day that Yili's 1L pure milk was launched. Compared with the previous day, the sales on the first day of the movie's release increased by more than five times, which made Yili's senior executives exclaim that the money was worth spending.

In addition, there are various electronic devices of Lenovo, for which Lenovo spent three million dollars on placement, and of course the equipment was also provided by them.

There was also a fierce competition between Pepsi and Coca-Cola for placement, and Coca-Cola won in the end.

And what they got was certainly not to bring Coca-Cola to Mars, that was impossible, but Nie Wei also had a way. People always have to drink water, and Mark is no exception, and his cup is printed with the Coca-Cola logo.

At the same time, Huayi also cooperated with Coca-Cola to launch a new bottle version of "The Martian".

At the same time, a lucky draw was also held. Buying the "The Martian" version of Coca-Cola would have a chance to win autographed photos of Nie Wei, Fan Binbin and others, and even a chance to get VIP tickets to the 2010 Huayi Family Concert.

Of course, they also paid one million US dollars for this, and also promoted "The Martian" at the same time. After all, the sales volume of Coca-Cola in China is very high.

There are also many implants, some viewers have discovered, while others have not discovered that they are implants at all, and nearly 30 million US dollars of the total investment in the film are subsidized by the cost of implanted advertisements.

When these data were announced later, Nie Wei was also put on the headlines by the media, praising his ability to attract money.

After all, these implanted advertisers are willing to spend money for his name.

As time passed, the number of people queuing at the door of the theater did not decrease. Even at 10 o'clock in the evening, the attendance rate was still more than 60%.

The attendance rate of the IMAX-3D screening room, which is open 24 hours a day, has never dropped below 80%.

Even though the first day box office has not been finalized due to time constraints, everyone knows that this will definitely be a very astonishing number.
