Entertainment starting from 1 yuan

Chapter 213 Chinese Movies
Again, "The Wandering Earth" was not very expected before it was released.Even if it weren't for the joining of Han Sheng and Wu Jing, maybe everyone's expectations for it would be even lower.

After all, you want to boast of an investment of more than 3 million yuan. You have honestly invested more than 3 million yuan, and the cost of publicity and distribution is almost 4 million yuan.

But the current audience doesn't have much excitement about hundreds of millions.

And the cost thing, isn't it just you bragging?
In these years, before the release of the investment that was said to be hundreds of millions or even tens of millions, it is okay to say that it made a profit after the release. Still got it back.

Then there's the genre of sci-fi.

It has no successful previous works in China, and the director is not a big name, especially since it has been rumored before:
He said he wanted to invite such international directors as Spielberg and Cameron.

This
People exchange shotguns for cannons, and you exchange cannons for shotguns. No, it’s not a shotgun, it’s almost the same with a slingshot.

Even if it is the special effects of the trailer, there are too many people who rushed to the theater after the special effects of the trailer, only to find that all the wonderful special effects of the whole film have been cut into the trailer.

Although it is necessary to cut the best things into the trailer to attract the audience, but it can't be nothing but the best, right?

The result is:

When the audience walked into the theater and saw the movie, they felt an unexpected reversal.

Director Guo Fan, Han Sheng, and Wu Jing starred in this feature film. After the opening, whether it is in terms of industrial level, special effects design, or overall progress narrative, it is far better than expected.

Especially the two aspects of special effects and narrative.

For the former, if you have to make an analogy, the audience will feel how the special effects of domestic movies have improved by ten or even twenty years overnight, and can have such a fine production.

This kind of production often appears in blockbuster films that are said to have invested at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

Of course, it must be said that the latter is more important.

If the former is something that others have, then the latter kind of "saturation rescue" and the theme of being closely integrated with a community with a shared future for mankind are absolutely unique in China.

"The Wandering Earth" almost perfectly combines this thing and fits it perfectly.

In other words, this movie is not only good on the outside, but also very good on the inside.

To know the important reasons for the decline of domestic works in recent years, there is the decline of scripts.

Although someone honestly said:
What is not allowed to shoot this and that is not allowed to shoot, it is not easy to pass the review, and naturally the script is not easy to write.

But the fact is that as the market develops and capital enters the market, what is to be produced is not an excellent work, but a work that can make money stably.Naturally, it began to be reproduced in the same way, let alone innovation.

But now, "The Wandering Earth" turned out to be amazing.

It's still the kind of surprise that first suppresses and then rises.

It's like when someone described this person as 5 points in appearance before meeting, but after seeing him, he turned out to be a handsome guy and beautiful woman with an 8 points in appearance.
"Wow, wow! I thought the outer space station was modeled and built like that, but I didn't expect the inside to be so detailed. It doesn't lose to Hollywood, okay?"

"This panorama, my god, the crew is really willing to pay. How much is it just to do the special effects of this panorama? For this filming, it feels like Brother Sheng and Wu Jing didn't get paid for the film? Why is it 3 million yuan? Made it."

"My mother, I also filmed the scene of the space station. Now the engine is turned on on the earth, and the space station has to stop it. Is it because I don't feel the tension enough for both lines?"

Because it was reserved by the crew, everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

Don't think that these people are in the industry, so you have to talk about it, but it is actually the complete opposite.

On the contrary, everyone in the industry is not convinced by each other, and they all know each other's more accurate level.So this time I was able to get the approval of these people, among other things, it was more than half stable.

Facts have proved that good movies look good, even if they are science fiction that many people have never been exposed to, they will not feel boring.

Not only was it not boring, but the time passed quickly.

Halfway through in the blink of an eye.

Because of the adjustment of the story line and structure, "The Wandering Earth" looks extremely smooth at this time, and it seems that 90% of the engines have been repaired. Logically speaking, it should be almost over.

Li Changjing began to feel a little emotional:
"It's our country that can make this kind of movie."

"If it were to be filmed by Hollywood, it would have to be a white unemployed man, plus a blonde ex-wife with a baby, plus a black muscular security guard, plus some crazy Frankenstein, a hacker mysterious girl, and a prophet talking about gods and gods, and then go to save the world."

"Maybe there is also a SB villain who obstructs him in various ways for some flimsy reasons."

As he said that, he unconsciously felt a little proud, saying: "We are the only ones who have this structure, and the things we photographed show that this kind of thing is not only done by ourselves, but also by many people in other places."

"This is true."

Han Sheng also nodded, and said with a smile, "Actually, when I first saw the script of this movie, I was also moved by it."

"This is actually a very Chinese movie, which fits our culture very well."

After all, the United States is eager to promote itself as a beacon of freedom and democracy in the world. Even now, there are too many people who firmly believe that as long as there is absolute freedom and democracy, they will be fine.

In other words, blame external circumstances for your failures, but if you get credit, it's yourself.

In China, however, the emphasis is on the collective.

Therefore, based on this concept, there is the grand imagination of taking the earth to wander.

It is no exaggeration to say that it may be difficult for many foreign writers to write such things, because what everyone sees is that the earth is about to become extinct, rich people run away in spaceships, and then the earth explodes into a flower behind.

It's not impossible to shoot like this, but relatively speaking, "The Wandering Earth" may still be more suitable for domestic appetites.

"That's it."

Li Changjing sat up straight again, and said with a smile, "But I want to see how to deal with the ending part. I haven't read the novel, so I'm looking forward to it, and I'll see it soon."

"Uh, right now?"

Han Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "There are still about five or ten minutes left."

By the way, the reason why "The Wandering Earth" is not so popular in theaters is its set.

2 hours and 05 minutes.

The other "Flying Life" is 98 minutes, "The New King of Comedy" is 90 minutes, and "Crazy Alien" is longer, 116 minutes, but it is not as long as "The Wandering Earth".

So it's a bit early to talk about the ending.

So Li Changjing got excited again. He quickly went through the plot just now in his mind, and then continued: "There are still five or 10 minutes? Hey, I think the plot on the ground should not be too different. The remaining 50 minutes How come the minutes?"

"Let me guess, it definitely won't be the kind of forced time, money to burn."

"Yeah, I got it!"

He remembered something, and quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with the line in the sky?"

It seems that there has always been danger on the ground, but the sky is actually relatively safe as a whole, and more importantly: they seem to have no connection with the ground except for the relationship between father and son.

"You are smart, Director Li, you deserve to have been filming for so many years."

Han Sheng smiled: "That's almost what it means."

"I'll just say it!"

Li Changjing was immediately excited, paused, and said again: "Let me guess, the two sides must cooperate remotely to complete this work together, right?"

"Well, I didn't expect this, but..."

Before Han Sheng finished speaking, the story had already reached the point of revealing the secret.

It broke Li Changjing's conjecture when he came up:

Saturation rescue is not a joke. Someone has already started the engine before the protagonist group.

This absolutely does not exist in Hollywood blockbusters, because even if the supporting role is only one step away from starting, it must be forcibly thrown to receive a box lunch, and then the protagonist gets up from the ground and presses down.

Yes!White Americans saved the world again!

That's enough.

But what is more critical now is how the story will go next:
That is, after the engine is started, it is still approaching Jupiter, and will gradually break through the Roche limit.And the mechanical voice was finally revealed at this time, and the coalition government had known this result for a long time.

This is a rescue that is doomed to be futile.

"." Li Changjing was dumbfounded in the movie theater.

Let alone a director like Li Changjing who watches a lot of films, anyone who has seen similar foreign films, even if they don’t even have to be of the same type, is a film like "Save the World" anyway, they are all stupid
No, it's fine if all the credit is not attributed to the protagonist. After all, there are so many engines in the world, it's unrealistic for the male protagonist to start them all.

It's also a bit stupid to engage in a one-button start that reduces intelligence.

Then look, the rescue is not achieved by the protagonist, so that's barely enough.

After all, at least the protagonist has worked hard.

At least it can be said that they have a clear conscience, and they are indeed working hard for this-after all, if there are not countless teams like them, who follow each other and rescue when they are saturated at any cost, there will be no final activation.

In the end, at the end, you told me all this was meaningless?

What is this?

"The evacuation of the space station marks the failure of the rescue operation. Three hours later, the earth will break through the Roche limit of Jupiter's rigid body and enter an irreversible disintegration process. Moss will broadcast globally. Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve"

"The Wandering Earth project failed, and the Navigator project was renamed the 'Tinder' project."

"This is the navigator space station, and now it is making its final broadcast to the world. In the past 36 hours, mankind has experienced the greatest survival crisis in history. With the hard work and sacrifice of 150 million rescuers from all over the world, 71% of the propulsion engines and 100% steering The engine is restarted at full power.

But it is a pity that the current Jupiter gravity has exceeded the total output power of all engines, and the earth has missed the last chance to escape. For the continuation of human civilization, Moss will start the fire plan.

The navigator space station has refrigerated 30 human fertilized eggs and [-] million seeds of basic crops, stored the DNA patterns of animals and plants known in the world, and has a digital database of all human civilizations to ensure complete reconstruction on the new immigrant planet. of human civilization.

You are all heroes of the Earth, and we will always remember and be proud of you.With all your hopes on our shoulders, we will fly to our new homeland 500 years from now. "

In the theater, at some point, it became silent.

It seems that just from this passage, it seems that everyone walks together all of a sudden, and it becomes the common ending of the story:
The Navigator Space Station, the Noah's Ark, is like the flood that took all the animals in the world. After entering, all the people outside and the monstrous flood were left behind.

And those who sit in the theater will undoubtedly be abandoned.

"."

This feeling emerged in everyone's heart extremely strongly.

There was also a movie "2012" before that told the story of the end of the world and everyone escaping in an ark.

But looking at everyone, there is actually no special sense of substitution, just think it is a story.But "The Wandering Earth" is different. It shows that the whole earth is engulfed, and everyone works together to save it. In the end, it suddenly came to this traditional sense:

Sorry, thank you, but we have to give up on you.

Wow, that feeling.
It seems that I understand all the principles, but on the day when the real thing happened, and in such an abrupt situation, I told myself that everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be undone.

That kind of helplessness, anger, and even knowing that it is a movie, I feel a little mixed with despair.

It completely makes some people think that the previous things are nothing.

What love between the hero and the heroine.

What continues human civilization.

What the hell is nonsense, in the face of life and death, tear away all the surface, especially when you hear the last goodbye to your loved ones, and then "good luck to everyone".
Mentality exploded.

This problem is like 99 people standing on one ship and one person standing on another ship. Pressing the button can save 1 people, and let the original safe person be the price of the rescue, the dog leash.

This question has been widely discussed.

But what if this one person is yourself?
And what's even more frightening is that from the perspective of a bystander, he struggled with pain for a long time, and suddenly the deadline came before the deadline.

Someone else spoke:
Haha, those who lied to you, don't be so entangled.In fact, the moment you uploaded it, you all had to die. Now, eat something good, drink something good, and enjoy your time.

Thank you, you are all heroes.I will take your name and go further afield.
Hi yo, it's killing me.

Li Changjing has never felt so unhappy like now, he just feels very uncomfortable.Only at this moment did he realize that, unlike the individualism of the West, he was still part of the group and enjoyed the protection of the group.

This is a cultural resonance, which makes it even more difficult for him to accept this reality.

Because they seem to be like that.
It was thrown here by the coalition government.

Can only wait for death.

So is this a tragic ending?
Well, that must be impossible.It's not good to have such a depressed atmosphere for too long during the New Year's Eve—indeed, if you want to change to a European and American protagonist, you must go home after a lot of hardships, hug your family and be blown into powder.

It seems that it doesn't matter.

But people in our country have always started from scratch, and still care about these?Some things have long been engraved into the blood.

If you have the conditions, you have to do it, if you don’t have the conditions, you have to do it if you create the conditions!

After all, those who abandon themselves will be abandoned by God!
"I can program the engine to shoot higher!"

"Wang Lei, the shock wave of Jupiter's deflagration can push the earth away from Jupiter."

"Come on, let's ignite Jupiter!"

After 3 minutes of depression, the protagonist group regained their confidence and started to move towards a new goal.On the road, I kept calling for everyone to come and help, and Liu Peiqiang also worked hard to fight for it. In the end, everything was unexpected and reasonable.
The space station explodes into sparks, and Earth is born again.

There are twists and turns.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

It is also from that sentence that no matter where the final result of human history leads, we decide to choose hope.

After this sentence began, Li Changjing has confirmed that this is indeed an unprecedented film of struggle for self-improvement, unity and forge ahead, and a long-term view.It is also something that only the Chinese can write, perform, and shoot.
Chinese movies.

At the end of the film, it seems that the emotions have gradually calmed down, and everyone began to discuss with emotion: This is the end that Liu Qidu has grown up three years later, but if you want to show more things, there is definitely not enough time, so this is probably for the audience. The second part is a foreshadowing or something.

This is normal, although many people think it is unnecessary to add.

But who will give up this IP, and who will not be tolerant after watching it.So some of the crew originally came with the mentality of "accomplishing the task", and now they are planning to post Amway on Moments or something. It's really good-looking, and I really want to support it.

But accompanied by a burst of music that seemed to come from space, the people in the theater raised their heads unconsciously and were attracted to them. They all felt as if they had really come to the boundless universe. full of emotions:

"This project will continue for a hundred generations, although we don't know what kind of new home will be brought by the new sun 4.2 light-years away.

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

This long cosmic journey of despair and hope, lasting 500 years, is known as the "Wandering Earth" project in history. "
