I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 315 Gap (34)

Let’s be honest…

"Interstellar" is really a close to perfect commercial film - the smoothness and completeness of the plot, the shaping of the characters, the powerful special effects, and the bizarre alien scenes are almost all achieved to the extreme.

Yes, the logic is flawed, and then it rises to the level of generating electricity for love...

But science fiction is not an educational film. If it all conforms to contemporary science, then what is the point of making movies?
"Interstellar" is almost impeccable from the perspective of audio-visual and story.

Of course, from the perspective of return on investment, "Interstellar" cost 1.65 million US dollars and "The Wandering Earth" cost about 4500 million.

"Interstellar" had a box office of 6.7 million US dollars, and "The Wandering Earth" had a box office of 7 million US dollars.

In terms of return rate, "The Wandering Earth" far surpasses "Interstellar".

What an amazing result!
As for the depth of the plot...

Compare generating electricity with love and fighting for hope...

Love can sometimes make people fight bravely, but sometimes it can also make people compromise blindly.

Hope is a seed planted in everyone's heart, which will one day sprout, grow and be reborn!
I still prefer to fight for hope!

If we talk about significance, then the significance of "The Wandering Earth" to Chinese films is epoch-making - in addition to boosting confidence in the field of science fiction films, the most important thing is to tell all films: we don't need to deliberately cater to the so-called Western aesthetics...

Guo Fan interjected: "Our science fiction films have just achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1, but there is still a long way to go. It is of course a good thing that everyone is willing to compare, and it is also a spur for us!"

Shen Liang added: "I think the most important thing about The Wandering Earth is to tell the audience that our movies don't need to cater to foreign aesthetics or so-called Western values. It's better if they accept it, and it doesn't matter if they don't...

However, I heard that The Wandering Earth has a good reputation overseas, which proves my view that cultural output is overflow, not servile pandering! "

"Are you criticizing One Second?"

"…Ah?" Shen Liang scratched his head: "How did you come up with this idea? Are these two related?"

“One Second” withdraws from Berlin Film Festival…”

Shen Liang waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with me... Let's continue talking about "The Wandering Earth..."

……

Some time ago, the Berlin Film Festival, the original opening film "One Second" withdrew from the festival due to "technical failure"...

Of course, everyone knows what this so-called technical failure means!
It's nothing more than 'outdated thinking' or something like that...

In fact, when A-Mou won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Beijing Film Festival, his masterpieces were shown on the big screen, including "Three Guns", but "To Live" was not shown...

I won’t talk about this anymore!

About The Wandering Earth 2…

To say something that may offend some people, I feel it is not as good as "The Wandering Earth": three lines, Liu Peiqiang, Tu Hengyu and Li Xuejian...

The three-line narrative continues in vain, the story progresses entirely by accident, Moss wants to destroy humanity but doesn't go all the way, there's so much sensationalism that even the characters of the main characters can't stand up...

Tu Hengyu's story line is so annoying and totally untenable!

Damn it, in this film where everyone is fighting for the future of mankind, you have to bring in personal emotions.

——I want to give my daughter a complete life.

So, your wife is not a human being?

The same is true for Li Xuejian's story line, which shows an expression of "everything is under my control" from beginning to end;

The climax is there, saying with a loud voice, "Our people can definitely do it"...

But he just doesn't say why it must work. Although there is a saying that people from the future gave a hint, what is presented is that everyone is drunk but I am sober, and only he is there saying start with a loud voice, but this momentum is hard for people to empathize with! It feels like Guo Fan puts too much pressure on himself - the first part was too successful, and the second part must be bigger, so the atmosphere is stronger, the scenes are much bigger, a lot of hard bridge and hard code special effects scenes, a lot of locations all over the world, and a more "international perspective" than the first part.

Especially the space elevator scene, which made people excited, but they were too paranoid about certain parts.

When you invest more crazily in technology and special effects, you are bound to lose investment in emotions and feelings!

Therefore, watching The Wandering Earth 2 was very tiring...

It can be cut into two parts...

Spend more time on the characters' motivations.

One more point...the conflict between the Digital Life faction and the Wandering Earth faction, in the end the latter won and the former was defined as illegal.

I don't quite understand the source of this conflict. Digital life and Wandering Earth may not be unable to coexist. Some people are willing to give up their bodies to gain eternal life in the digital world. Naturally, some people believe that the body is the only carrier of consciousness...

To be honest, it would be better to cut off Liu Peiqiang's line and just talk about Li Xuejian and Tu Hengyu. Liu Xuejian's line... actually tacitly allows the digital school to do research in the gray area...

This is a good one, let's expand on it...

This makes the story more complete.

Then, a separate prequel about Liu Peiqiang's line will be filmed...

Divided into two parts...

Kneading it all together is really tiring!

……

After visiting six cinemas, the first day of the roadshow ended...

A group of people got on the bus.

Following Shen Liang was a reporter from 1905 Movie Network.

It's an exclusive interview.

Continue to the airport - the crew did not stop and flew directly to Shanghai.

"Director Guo Fan said that the gap between us and Hollywood is about 25 to 30 years. What do you think?"

"I also thought the gap would be huge before... But now I have changed my mind, not because of The Wandering Earth, but because it is almost the era of artificial intelligence. Hollywood, like us, is facing technological reform and technological upgrading. We will be at the same starting line..."

"What are the differences between Chinese science fiction films and Hollywood science fiction films?"

“The spiritual core of The Wandering Earth is the deep feelings we Chinese have for our land and homeland, which manifests itself in family affection among people…”

"Then why do you think The Wandering Earth is such a big hit?"

"I think it's because the quality of the movie itself is good... and also because the country is strong..."

"Is the country strong?"

"The development and progress of the country has provided strong support for the rise of science fiction literature and art. Only a strong country can support a strong science fiction industry and allow the audience to immerse themselves in the plot. If there was a "The Wandering Earth" in the 1990s, would you think it was appropriate?"

"Do you think The Wandering Earth can surpass Wolf Warriors 2?"

Shen Liang scratched his head and said seriously, "It's a bit difficult. In fact, science fiction is a niche genre worldwide. When Interstellar was released in North America, it was suppressed by Big Hero 2 and Dumb and Dumber ..."

"So what do you think the final box office of The Wandering Earth will be?"

"About 50 billion... Not bad. Whether it's Wolf Warrior 2 or The Wandering Earth, Brother Jing is the lead actor!"
