I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 308 First Day (44)

“What is the core of the creation of “Sea of ​​Stars”?”

"It was originally created as a promotional song for The Wandering Earth, but after the teacher watched it, he felt that it had a sense of 'our journey is the stars and the sea', so it was chosen to be sung for the first time on this year's Spring Festival Gala."

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, after Shen Liang finished singing "Sea of ​​Stars", he was taken to the Spring Festival Gala studio by the staff...

The hosts are Wang Ning and Sha Chen.

"After listening to it, I also felt a sense of sticking to my ideals, maintaining my passion, and heading for the stars and the sea..."

"Thanks…"

“Does it feel different to be on the Spring Festival Gala again?”

“Still excited…”

After chatting for about three minutes, the last question was to send blessings. Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "I hope for world peace and that everyone can be healthy... By the way, I hope everyone will go to see The Wandering Earth tomorrow..."

This is the last wave of promotion...

……

The movie "The Wandering Earth" itself is very complete...

"Dad, look, it's Jupiter!"

"Dad, there's an eye on Jupiter!"

"That's a big storm on Jupiter..."

The opening scene is Wu Jing, Wu Mengda and little Liu Qi observing Jupiter with a telescope at the beach...

Then, the narration sounded, which was also the setting: 'Initially, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster was closely related to each of us...'

This is necessary preparation, giving the audience time to think and sort out the background of the story...

The title of "The Wandering Earth" appears.

Entering the main plot...

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, Liu Qi grew up, and Shen Liang appeared!

In the past ten years, Liu Qi has never seen Liu Peiqiang, and gradually he has accumulated resentment. Liu Qi's grandfather Han Ziang adopted a girl and named her Han Duoduo...

Liu Qi, who was in the rebellious period of adolescence, decided to go far away. He asked his sister to steal his grandfather's car card, and stole two sets of aviation suits from the gang leader, and came to the ground...

Then there is the long shot in the trailer - Liu Qi and Han Duoduo drive a transport vehicle on the snowy surface, starting from the BJ underground city. The camera rises from the speeding car body, showing the huge mining machinery, then the planetary engine, and then zooms out, the sun and the International Space Station also appear in the picture at the same time...

Just this one shot made countless science fiction fans exclaim: "This is the first time I've seen such a shot in a domestic science fiction film in a cinema... At the time, I thought, 'Fuck! It's worth it! There is hope for domestic science fiction films!'"

"My hair stood on end!"

“I burst into tears!”

Of course, the subsequent story is also good...

Caught up with Jupiter's gravitational crisis!
The Earth entered a stage of being captured by Jupiter's gravity. When approaching the Roche limit, the Earth's United Government gave up on saving itself and agreed to the space station to separate from the Earth to launch the "Spark" plan. It also called on people to return home to reunite with their loved ones and spend their final time together.

The most dangerous moment for mankind has arrived. Almost everyone is in despair. The underground city is in chaos. Some people take advantage of the chaos to rob. All the rescue teams on the ground have lost their targets and are returning. A Japanese rescue team member even shot himself...

Fortunately, the Chinese CN171-11 rescue team, led by Liu Qi and Han Duoduo, is striving for the last hope. They want to ignite Jupiter through the flames of the Sulawesi III engine and use its shock wave to push the Earth out of Jupiter's gravity.

However, the CN171-11 rescue team only had a few people and could not complete the task alone. They asked for help from rescue teams from various countries, but were rejected. Han Duoduo contacted Liu Peiqiang who was in the space station. After Liu Peiqiang's efforts, the United Government broadcast Han Duoduo's speech for help. Then rescue teams from various countries came to support. The Sulawesi III engine finally completed the flame spraying, but the height was still not enough to ignite Jupiter.

At the critical moment, Liu Peiqiang decided to sacrifice himself. He drove the space station towards Jupiter and finally ignited the hydrogen-oxygen mixture on the surface of Jupiter. The CN171-11 rescue team's plan was finally realized, and the Earth also avoided the fate of crashing into Jupiter...

“No matter where the final outcome will lead human history, we choose hope!”

Finally, there is another long shot - Liu Qi, who is now a formal driver, gets on the carrier again. As the vehicle starts, the camera zooms out to a panoramic view of the earth, with hundreds of engines emitting faint blue light...

The narration sounded again, accompanied by the exciting BGM of “Starting a New Journey”: “The Sun, located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, accounts for 99.68% of the total mass of the solar system;

Today, the sun's core is aging rapidly and continuing to expand, and the Earth will be swallowed up.

In order to survive, humans have formulated an unprecedented grand plan to drive the entire Earth to escape to a new home 4.2 light years away. The plan is divided into five stages..."

“…This plan will last for a hundred generations!
Although, we don't know what kind of home our new sun 4.2 light-years away will bring.

But starting today, human courage and perseverance will forever be engraved under the stars.

This long cosmic journey of despair and hope that lasted for 2,500 years is known as the "Wandering Earth" project!

……

There is a higher practical significance than the movie itself, that is, from now on, the Chinese film market has the standard of domestic science fiction!

The majority of today's Chinese audiences grew up watching European and American films with subtitles.

If we break it down into the field of science fiction, Chinese audiences are almost all influenced by Hollywood science fiction movies.

Then, in order to "please" the Chinese market, a bunch of Hollywood productions, such as Pacific Rim 2, The Martian, Independence Day 2 and other American science fiction films, began to try to forcibly insert Chinese actors...

However, due to the one-way cultural gap between China and the United States, and the fact that the American market does not sincerely want to change any cultural form of Hollywood science fiction films, the Chinese elements in the form of American Chinese food such as General Tso's Chicken have not helped the development and progress of Chinese films at any level.

Instead, we saw dissatisfaction and resistance from industry insiders and ordinary audiences.

But your dissatisfaction and resistance do not affect the overall situation...

At least before the emergence of "The Wandering Earth", it had no impact - Hollywood was the only one in the world capable of shooting science fiction films!
But... seriously, the stories in Hollywood sci-fi movies are so crappy that I can’t even praise them enough.

For example, in the story of Star Wars: Luke Skywalker assists Princess Leia in her rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire;

"Avatar"...Earthlings help aliens fight Earthlings;
The story is simple, but the concepts and worldviews it evokes are exactly what we have never been able to emulate.

We are not short of good stories and worldviews. The millennium cultural heritage unique to Chinese culture, such as Jingwei filling the sea, Yugong moving the mountains, and Houyi shooting down the sun, has yet to be discovered.

"The Wandering Earth" appeared, and it seemed to have activated a little spark of this accumulation.

This is enough!

But… cinemas are very realistic. Before the movie is officially released and before word of mouth is known, it is unlikely that they will give you the highest screening schedule…

So, at the end of the day, among the several movies in the Spring Festival, The Wandering Earth ranked only third in box office, with Crazy Alien in first place at 3.89 million, Flying Life at 3.02 million, and The Wandering Earth at 2.68 million...

It’s over 1000 million higher than “The New King of Comedy”…

However, in terms of word of mouth, "The Wandering Earth" has been ranked first, with a Douban score of 8.4, a Maoyan score of 9.7, and a Tao Piaopiao score of 9.6.

Moreover… the entire internet is praising The Wandering Earth. Just search for ‘Blow up The Wandering Earth’ or ‘Awesome, The Wandering Earth is awesome!’…

Then, Guo Fan wrote a short essay titled "Little Broken Ball, Keep Your Head Up and Go Forward!"
