China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 408 The Earth Three-Body Organization is the villain

The preparations for "Inception" are still in full swing. According to the original script, the movie will be filmed in Europe, the United States and other countries, and of course there are also domestic scenes.

The shooting cycle is also set relatively loosely, which is a rare travel shooting for Chen Jingxing and the entire crew, which makes Guo Fan quite jealous.

"Operation Red Sea" was filmed in three countries in Africa. In addition, the crew management is relatively strict, Guo Fan enjoyed some scenery, but travel is not a question, but the shooting is really hard.

I stayed in the desert for three months, and even the most magnificent scenery was, I had to see vomiting, let alone bugs. Fortunately, the crew of "Wolf Tooth II" explored the way and summarized some experience. From top to bottom, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" at least knew that they had to lift the mattress before going to bed, and first burn a pot of boiling water and scalding the bed.

So Guo Fan admired Zhang Yi for filming "Operation Red Sea" and then took another film "The Ninth District". Even if he was filming in South Africa, if possible, Guo Fan didn't want to go to Africa again.

Although "The Wandering Earth" is very difficult to produce, the main shooting venues are in the greenhouses. The application of cgi special effects will also be the second only project in DreamWorks' movies after "Gravity", which is not difficult for Guo Fan.

Guo Fan is currently busy with the casting of "The Wandering Earth". The female lead has been decided, Zhao Jinmai, who has gained countless fans through "The Walking Dead".

Zhao Jinmai's role in "The Walking Dead" is quite likable, with a miserable life experience. He lost his father when the zombie virus broke out at the beginning. However, after this change, his personality became more resolute. Although his age and strength were the lowest among the protagonist team, he had many highlights later.

Nowadays, many film and television dramas prefer to portray female characters as a drag bottle, and they need to be saved by the male protagonist. Once the plot cannot continue, the heroine's IQ or her ability will be reduced, causing trouble and falling into danger to promote the plot.

The amazing thing about the story of "Sphere Lightning" is that Liu created a high concept that has a certain degree of self-consistent mind and an extremely outrageous concept that fits many characteristics of the spherical lightning itself.

But its disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, it is difficult to adapt into an image work.

Such a highlight character has made Zhao Jinmai get no less traffic and attention than the male lead.

"What about ETO? Will ETO do more development here? Treat him as a prequel to "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Otherwise, why would he have to think about shooting zombie-themed movies with Universal?

But such female characters are undoubtedly not likable enough.

In "The Three-Body Problem", Ye Wenjie's story may be released, but the plot of the Chinese-American War is definitely not filmed.

"Black Mirror II" has five episodes, a total of five stories, and they have been handed over to five different directors. All of them have been filmed. The second season of "Survey" is about to be completed.

As the preparations for "The Wandering Earth" began, news inevitably spread rapidly to the outside world around the small circle of DreamWorks.

All artists and major companies are beginning to show their magical powers and strive to get a share.

Moreover, this kind of plot is not suitable for visualization, and the audience may not buy it.

It’s just that the confidentiality specifications of the project team of "Three-Body Problem" are higher. Chen Jingxing explained to the screenwriters of the screenwriters, and what they had to do was to sort out this huge science fiction universe into stories that could be visualized through film and television dramas and even animations.

Movies and novels are originally different art forms, one focuses on three-dimensional vision and the other focuses on inner senses.

Not to mention that "Ball Lightning" itself is a record, and its dramaticity is seriously insufficient.

“…So what is the overall tone of this show? Is it thriller?”

This is a very stunning story from the concept of science fiction.

"Signal" is the story of father and son's redemption, "Source Code" is the hero fighting wits and courage on the train, "Georgement" is the transformation of the heroine's central spirit in the survival, "Matrix" is the story of the hero and heroine's love, and breaking through the bondage of the matrix with the hero and the hero becoming a savior, and "Mars" is the hero's survival after all the hardships.

The power of casting is naturally with Guo Fan. Although DreamWorks borrowed from Hollywood's film industry, the director-centered system has not changed, which has made Guo Fan look dazzling.

No one would doubt the level of DreamWorks shooting science fiction movies. Coupled with the importance of DreamWorks on this project, even if a popular young flower can eat this project, it will only feel honored without any hesitation.

After all, it is a breakthrough for domestic science fiction movies, and the future is uncertain. Not many people will think this is such a good cake.

That is, breaking down a large goal into small goals.

The "brain storm" in the conference room was very intense. At this time, Chen Jingxing was always the one who was relatively silent, listening to everyone's thoughts and their arguments.

Even if a majestic human completion plan like "Sky Eagle Warrior", isn't the main storyline of the story also growing up by boys and girls fighting monsters?

Next year, DreamWorks will have at least two dramas to be played, and the third drama that will not be decided by Chen Jingxing is the third drama - "Ball Lightning".

The science fiction concept in "Sphere Lightning" is used by one of the wall-facing players in "The Three-Body" that is, the fusion of macro electrons, that is, spherical lightning, and macronuclear fusion into weapons to attack the Earth's fleet, making it a quantum ghost that can observe itself against the Three-Body Fleet.

This is more complicated than Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" project.

Therefore, what Chen Jingxing and the screenwriter team need to adapt is to change him into an ornamental and dramatic story.

In order to uncover the mystery of spherical lightning, microwave radiation, oxidized aerosol, nuclear energy, dark matter, antimatter, black holes and other reliable conjectures and theories have been proposed, but there is still no clear and authoritative theory that can explain the causes and formation process of spherical lightning.

In addition to preparing for "Inception", Chen Jingxing also took advantage of the last gap before filming to brainstorm the screenwriters, hoping to make the next TV series project of DreamWorks preliminary.

Although the project of "Three-Body Problem" has not been officially established, the screenwriter team has been initially formed, and the elite soldiers and generals from DreamWorks were selected, and everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement.

The progress of the "Wandering Earth" project in the previous plane was full of twists and turns, and not many people were optimistic about it. The funds and time were tight, so it was unknown whether they could finally meet the audience on the big screen.

In fact, every work in DreamWorks is essential to keep confidential during the script creation and preparation stages.

But in this plane, DreamWorks butterfly slapped its wings for several years, and science fiction has long become a business card for domestic blockbusters in the world film industry.

What the audience wants to see is always the story of the characters. Even if the world is destroyed, the focus is still on the characters. Once the specific characters are separated from the general narrative of the self-deprecating epic, it is difficult for the audience of such film and television dramas to buy it.

Therefore, the scripting of "Sphere Lightning" is to compress the "pattern" of the story.

Since there is such a connection, "Sphere Lightning" is of course part of the "Three-Body" universe.

Creatively speaking, this is definitely a story that combines hardcore and romance, science and fun.

Zhao Jinmai's role in "The Walking Dead" has a weak side. He is like a little white lotus in the ugly zombies and ugly human nature, but at the same time she also has a wise and strong side. In the story of the fifteenth episode, except for the plot of "Train Memories" in the second episode, there are wise and wise characters afterwards.

I don’t know if it is to make female audiences feel immersive or to produce industrial candy in the drama of women causing trouble to save men.

"... Since we have confirmed that the villain is ETO, why not use case solving as a narrative method based on "Suspect Tracking" or "Special Mobile Team"?"

The first thing that was placed before everyone was "Sphere Lightning" - a part of the "Three-Body" universe.

It is very bright, nearly spherical, with a diameter of about 15 to 40 cm, usually only lasting for a few seconds, but it also has records that lasted for 1 to 2 minutes.

Spherical lightning is more harmful. It can float freely in the near-ground air or walk against the wind with the airflow. It can enter the room through open doors and windows. It is common to enter the building after passing through the chimney. It can even slide on the wire, sometimes hovering, sometimes disappear silently, and sometimes explode due to obstacles.

The part that impresses people almost all explains and argues some theories and phenomena. These things are very pleasant to read when reading texts, but it is extremely difficult to convert them into dynamic images to the same shocking degree.

The story of compressing into the battle between the protagonist and the villain, although it seems vulgar, many of DreamWorks' science fiction works are actually this routine.

"Since that's the case, why not treat him as the first work of the Three-Body Universe? Let ETO appear first!"

The brains of macroelectrons, macroprotons and even macroatoms are already quite exciting, and what makes this setting change from exciting to weird is that the setting of macroelectrons brings the quantum effect in the microscopic high-energy field to the macro world.

Spherical lightning, commonly known as land mines, usually occurs during thunderstorms. It is a spherical lightning, which is a real physical phenomenon.

The most important thing is that until now, spherical lightning is still a strange natural phenomenon that people cannot explain, with only one thing in common: spherical lightning basically occurs in thunderstorms.

Of course, it is impossible to shoot a magnificent battle in "Ball Flash". No matter how good the relationship between DreamWorks and the Film Bureau is, don't even think about it.

Of course, even so, stepping into a project like "The Wandering Earth" can definitely be called a triple jump.

Chen Jingxing's previous movies always tell stories with characters as the title.

The villain of "Sphere Lightning" cannot be a world war, and naturally it cannot be an official one. Then there must be a mysterious and high-quality organization.

The villains of Source Code and Suspect Track are the mysterious KB organization.

The villain of "Sky Eagle Warrior" is the Dawn Foundation, which adheres to the Human Refining Plan.

The villain of "Sphere Lightning" is naturally ready-made, Earth Three-body Organization, ETO.
