China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 199 "The Wandering Earth" Universe

What Chinese audiences are tolerant is that their evaluation of domestic films, especially the lack of genres in China, such as science fiction films, is based on the level of domestic films. As long as there are enough breakthroughs compared to past domestic films, they will give eager support, rather than requiring you to reach the top international standards.

So if Chen Jingxing had not been Chen Jingxing, the original "The Wandering Earth" would still be the light of domestic science fiction that created the world. However, if domestic science fiction movies have undergone qualitative transformation, it would be difficult to create box office miracles with the level of the original "The Wandering Earth", or even if they can succeed, they may not be able to reach the original height. After all, the reference standards for Chinese audiences have been greatly improved.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Jingxing looks down on "The Wandering Earth". Instead, he loves and attaches great importance to this IP. In his plan, "The Wandering Earth" can open up a heavyweight series of movies, which is comparable to "The Three-Body Problem", and even more than that - this kind of superiority is relative to the theme of the movie.

The entire plan for the story of "The Wandering Earth" takes 2,500 years, and the plot in the original movie is just a trivial piece of the whole story.

Not to mention the journey after Jupiter, just the beginning of the story is enough to make a few prequel movies. Otherwise, how could Liu be said to be a genius? The creativity of a short and medium-stories is enough to dig out countless gold.

First of all, the difficulty of recombination is theoretically higher than that of light fusion - hydrogen-nuclear helium nuclear fusion. If humans had already mastered light fusion, not to mention the real sea of ​​stars, at least the sea of ​​stars in the solar system would be fine. It is obvious that in the story, humans did not show such development of treating the solar system as the "inner sea".

This is something that Liu did not explain and describe in detail - of course it is understandable, this is just a short and medium-sized novel - but it provides enough space for brain repair.

For example, reunification is not mastered by humans, but alien technology. It can be discovered from the moon, found on Mars, or alien creations fall into the depths of the ocean, causing mysterious events to be discovered by humans to study the technologies contained therein, etc.

Scientists also discovered the omen of the sun's bursting with helium flashes in their research on alien technology. After that, humans determined the plan for wandering Earth, built shelters and dungeons, built reunion engines, built the Navigator space station, etc. In the original "Wandering Earth", the story of how to save 3.5 billion people when passing by Jupiter, but how another 3.5 billion or even more humans died can make a disaster blockbuster. This is no more grand than "The Day After" and "2012"?

There are also other planets that will be subjected to the impact of meteorite comets in the future - after all, it is separated from the "protection" of giant planets. Of course, the impact of meteorite comets can also be arranged when the earth passes through the asteroid belt.

Even after reaching the target Proxima Centauri, there is a huge imagination space. After all, Proxima Centauri is a three-star system formed by three stars, and at least one planet - Proxima Centauri b. Because it is located in the habitable zone, scientists also believe that it is possible to have life.

How to make Proxima Centauri capture the Earth, or which star captures the Earth, and what orbit exist in this Samsung system, how can we avoid the dangers brought by the three-star system, and can we really settle here after being captured? Are there any other hidden crises?

When the Kuiper belt is out, will we experience a more wonderful and strange "third type of contact" in the long "vacuum" between Proxima Centauri and the solar system? There is a lot of room for development. After all, humans are wandering with the earth. The earth allows humans to have stronger and more ways to deal with various contacts and threats. Just a spaceship is very fragile.

There are cyberpunk, steampunk, wasteland punk, etc. in the world, so the world view of "wandering earth punk" can also be developed. After all, the environment facing the earth in this story is something that has never been experienced before. What is the human society like in the context of wandering the earth? There are many microscopic stories that can happen here.

In addition to these large-scale imagination spaces, there is also how humans on Earth develop and survive this wandering for thousands of years. In addition to the main plot in the original work, the perspective can be placed on a more microscopic scale.

In addition, there is Saturn immediately after passing Jupiter. Although the Navigator space station has been destroyed, it does not mean that humans have no other space vehicles. For example, rebuilding a small spaceship, it can even be set on humans that have built more than one space station, and the Navigator is just one of them. Getting rid of Jupiter and sacrificing one of the space stations.

Even if you settle down in the Proxima Galaxy, do other indigenous planets have life, intelligent life, and how can you get along with them if there is one? Just this paragraph can make up a "Avatar" series of movies.

It can be said that in Chen Jingxing's view, the IP of "The Wandering Earth" has the potential to develop a bunch of prequels, main stories and extras, and literary and commercial philosophy can all be stimulated. The scalability is even better than "Star Wars", and there is no need to shoot the bloody scenes of father and son like "Star Wars".

Saturn has Saturn's rings, and Enceladus and Titan, which are believed by scientists to be very likely to exist in life. Earth launches spacecraft before passing Saturn, or space station launches spacecraft to explore Enceladus and Titan. Because the time it takes for the Earth to pass Saturn is relatively tight, the exploration team must seize the time and retreat home in time. This can also create a thrilling space adventure movie script.

After Chen Jingxing revealed in an interview with Time magazine that "Georgement" is not a space story like "Star Wars" with a grand world view, many netizens were actually a little disappointed. After all, the brand of "Star Wars" is too strong, and even "Star Wars" itself is a popular culture. Who doesn't want their country to create such a world view and popular culture?

But in Chen Jingxing's eyes, "The Wandering Earth" is China's "Star Wars", and the helm he selected for this heavyweight IP is Guo Fan. Like "The Wandering Earth", the movie series "The Wandering Earth" is enough for Guo Fan to shoot for a lifetime, and it is enough to become a long-term job at DreamWorks.

Guo Fan, who was once again urged to the company, just opened the contract drafted by DreamWorks. He had no idea that in Chen Jingxing's eyes, he had already been booked with the "Chinese version of George Lucas". He was still surprised by the terms of the contract.

"10/5?" Guo Fan looked at Chen Jingxing in surprise. Capitalists have always been scrapping the ground, and I have never seen anyone spend money like Chen Jingxing.
