I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 371 I will tell you if you ask me to? (13)

It is an established fact that "The Wandering Earth 2" is divided into two parts.

A film that depicts the people and events that explore ways to save civilization, and then corresponds to the elevator crisis and the successful engine test run;
The next part will talk about the impact of rotation adjustment and lottery on people's lives, and then correspond to the lunar crisis and the departure of the earth...

The main storyline of the first part is Liu Peiqiang and Zhou Zhezhi, and Tu Hengyu makes a brief appearance...

The ending is the climax - the space elevator crisis...

The second part is about the Digital Life Plan, with Tu Hengyu as the protagonist…

Of course, in the end, Tu Hengyu gave up his digital life, and the Moon-by-Moon Project and the Wandering Earth Project were officially launched...

"Once the space elevator is unveiled, the effect will definitely be explosive!"

Guo Fan nodded: "Let's ask the physicists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."

"If it's well made, Shanghai Fortress will definitely be a flop. China's science fiction movies still have to rely on The Wandering Earth..."

“…You haven’t even seen it, how can you be so sure it’s a bad movie?”

"…No need to pretend, we are all family, tell me the truth, what do you think of Shanghai Fortress?"

Guo Fan touched his nose and said, "No matter what... we are still a long way from being a science fiction film. The outcome is unknown, so I will pay tribute to those who dare to take this step. At the same time, I am tolerant and encouraging of it, and hope that it can last longer..."

Shen Liang's eyes lit up: "I'll remember this. If you ask me about my feelings about the movie later, I'll say this!"

Gong Geer couldn't help it: "...You are so shameless, can't you be a little original?"

Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "...You want to use this sentence?"

Gong Geer nodded vigorously: "Hmm..."

"dream!"

"Lao Guo, please say it again..." Gong Geer ignored him, took out his phone and clicked on the recording: "...If you interview me first...I will use this sentence!"

A prophecy comes true...

After watching the movie, Shen Liang took off his headphones and put his phone back in his pocket. Then it was time to comment...

However, the host asked Guo Fan and Gong Geer first, and then him last!

……

"Shanghai Fortress" is a terrible movie, but Shen Liang doesn't know exactly how terrible it is...

He didn’t see…

We all know it's a bad movie, so why do we still go to see it?
He is not a pervert!
But… I couldn’t escape it today. After watching it for five minutes, I really felt the three truths: sitting on pins and needles, feeling like a thorn in the back, feeling like a fishbone stuck in the throat…

Then, he put on his headphones and listened to music...

I remember the famous comment: The Wandering Earth opened the door to Chinese science fiction, while Shanghai Fortress closed it...

As for science fiction films, it basically collects all the mistakes that Chinese science fiction can make...

Director Teng Taotao and Guo Fan...

They are essentially different, and can be summarized as the generation gap between old film creation and new film creation.

What is old movie creative thinking?

What they call science fiction is pressing buttons, using a ritual that seems to include all scientific and industrial processes to directly obtain technological results - press a button and you can eat whatever you want.

There is no systematic industrial logic...

"Shanghai Fortress", the world is over, food and clothing are no different from modern times...

To be honest, Shanghai Fortress has made almost no progress in its interpretation of science fiction compared to Cheng Xiaodong's Terracotta Warriors. In the minds of old filmmakers, science fiction is just a condiment to make the story more different.

"Shanghai Fortress", with the fairy vines and aliens, they think it is good enough, enough, and sci-fi enough. Then they can work hard to film the "eternal human nature" well and it will definitely be another excellent movie.

Because of the superficial understanding, the creation is also superficial, so "Shanghai Fortress" uses gunpowder weapons to fight "monsters", and at the end it also "pays tribute" to "Heroes of the Nation" and "Independence Day".

The bad thing is that "The Wandering Earth" came out first!
It is logical, science fiction and humanity are combined together, and the small details of every great wonder are carefully considered by combining science and art, rather than just being made up by the art department.

With such a comparison, the quality of "Shanghai Fortress" is self-evident!

The most typical example is weapons. There are some fancy stuff, but few of them are useful.

It is obvious that bullets are ineffective against the Delta robots in the movie...

The protagonists clearly have missiles, artillery, tanks, grenades or more high-tech things, but they don't use them. Sci-fi tanks and drones are everywhere when there is nothing to do, but they rarely appear when something happens. They have to use guns to fight and actively go forward to die every time.

Isn't this neurosis?
The only good thing about the movie "Shanghai Fortress" is that it is very evenly bad.

If you were to say what is the worst part about it, I really can't tell you right away, because everything about it is rotten, as rotten as a tangled mess and there is no clue what to do with it.

By the way, one of the producers of Shanghai Fortress is Shanghai Huaxin Film and Television Production, and Wanda has invested in it…

Maybe because he was upset about missing out on The Wandering Earth, he took part in Shanghai Fortress…

Speaking of the viewing experience, Shen Liang was ready to use Guo Fan’s words to evaluate "Shanghai Fortress" - it's hard to tell the truth!

Then… the host Zhang Dada wanted him to be the last one to speak, so he asked Guo Fan first, and then asked Gong Geer. The two of them didn't mention the quality of "Shanghai Fortress" at all, and everyone was talking about other things. Guo Fan said, "As a person who has been through it, I can fully understand the difficulties behind all these years!"

Gong Geer said, "Chinese science fiction has just started. I will pay tribute to those who dare to take this step, and hope that it can last longer..."

There was applause from the audience...

When he got to Shen Liang, he cursed inwardly, but still stood up and replied with a smile: “I don’t understand, but I am deeply shocked!”

“…Can you tell me more about this?”

Shen Liang was about to sit down, but when he heard this, his expression changed: "Don't ask... If you go into too much detail, it will be difficult for you to promote..."

The audience and media in the back row were whispering...

Probably didn't expect Shen Liang to be so disrespectful...

Zhang Dada continued to ask: "Then can you predict the box office?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment, then said: "...I wish Shanghai Fortress a big box office success..."

“Can you give me a specific number?”

Shen Liang frowned and said directly: "Is there any point in asking me this question? Can't you tell the quality of the movie? If I tell the truth, you can't accept it. If I tell a lie, I will feel bad..."

“…Okay, let’s thank Shen Liang.”

Director Teng Tao took the microphone: "I want to hear Shen Liang's opinion..."

"you sure?"

"Well, movies are made to face the audience directly!"

Shen Liang sighed, "I dare not say it... If I say it, once they promote it, your movie can't sell, and you have to blame me... So, I really hate participating in so-called movie previews. To tell the truth, you don't want to hear it. If I don't tell the truth, I will feel uncomfortable... Don't look for me next time!"

Well, he finally held back...

You can say it's mature...

Got the analysis!
According to Teng Huitao and the production team’s personalities, in the original time and space, when Shanghai Fortress failed, he publicly apologized, saying that he had used Lu Han incorrectly. He was a typical person who thought he was not wrong and then passed on the blame...

If Shen Liang really speaks his mind, then when the movie fails, people will definitely blame Shen Liang - because of the lack of support from his peers!
