China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 541 Good-looking, good-looking, still good-looking!

"...I'm a little tired of it. Who wouldn't be tired of looking at the same face every day? Both husband and wife have the seven-year itch, but there is no way. I am the soul of the space trilogy. Without me, this movie would be impossible.

If it is incomplete, the audience will definitely feel that there is something missing. If you think about it carefully, ha, Lei Jiayin is missing...

Just kidding, I think there will be no one in the world who doesn’t want to work with Director Chen, and no one will be tired of it. This feeling is addictive.

The themes of the movies directed by Chen are very grand and full of imagination. From the moment you read the script to the actual shooting, you will be shocked every moment. Even if you look around the world, I don’t think many people can handle such a grand scale.

Such an imaginative project, and most importantly, it can always produce good-looking movies.

…My role? I like this role very much. I can’t spoil it now, and I can’t say how my role is different from “The Center of the Earth” and “Mars”, but everyone will be surprised in the theater."

After the staged interview with Lei Jiayin, the host Lan Yu brought the topic to Chen Jingxing.

"Director Chen, you once said that "Interstellar" is the last part of the space trilogy. I wonder if it is the same as the "Matrix" series. When you were filming "Gravity" early in the morning, you already had three parts.

Is it a complete story? Is there any difference or anything new compared to the previous two movies?"

Chen Jingxing glanced at the audience in the audience, and it seemed that they were all his fans, because their expressions were very excited, and they were all listening to his answers attentively.

"Unlike "The Matrix," the Space Trilogy certainly didn't have a complete story and plan that I had in mind early on."

That's weird, after all, you can't act too "evil" or too pretentious.

This is a very precious thing for humans. After all, what we want is not just survival, not just simple development. No one wants to compare themselves to locusts, right?

If some more conceited directors might have taken this opportunity to follow the fans' words and educate the general audience, but Chen Jingxing has traveled here for so many years, he may forget other things, but there is one thing he will never do.

Amid laughter, Chen Jingxing continued: "I think everyone should be aware of my directorial style. Sometimes my imagination is a little bigger, but usually I just talk nonsense seriously, so everyone's evaluation of me is generally negative."

He is a hardcore science fiction director.

The most important thing about a commercial movie is: it looks good, it looks good, it still looks good!

I have always felt that movies cannot aim at educating people. That would be putting the cart before the horse, right? We have schools, we have books, and there are many more forms that are more suitable for educating people than movies.

But you may also know that there have been many different voices on the Internet since then, saying that it is not necessary for us to interpret a commercial movie in this way. "The Matrix" is just a special effects blockbuster. Do reading comprehension and various so-called

The far-fetched analysis is flattering and even satirical that we should start a 'Jiuxue'.

For example, the previous "Matrix" series and the Space Trilogy.

This kind of fan is a brainless fan who is typing keyboards to argue with people on the Internet about demonic nature. Obviously his question is not deliberately provoking but comes from true feelings. He really feels that superficial ordinary people cannot appreciate his idol's masterpiece, and he is doing it for himself and for others.

The idol feels wronged.

After Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin talked about some interesting things about the filming without giving away any spoilers, more than half of the recording time of the program passed, and the last part was the question and answer session that made the audience most excited.

There are many viewers who actually don’t care about the profound meaning behind the movie, and they can’t understand your thoughts in the movie. I know you may not care, but will you still feel a little aggrieved?”

How else to say that one person is pink and the other is black?

If this fan is just typing on Weibo, Zhihu, or social media, that’s it. Just like after the release of "The Matrix III", his fans did go too far with their rainbow farts, which made many netizens confused.

Due to his rebellious mentality, some debates broke out between the two sides, but Chen Jingxing always remained silent.

Fans were a little excited: "I am your junior brother, studying at Beijing Normal University, and I am a sophomore this year."

And just being in outer space is not enough, humans need to go further, so with "The Martian", we need to bravely take that step and land on another planet, and we will definitely encounter greater difficulties, but

Still need to maintain optimism, courage and perseverance.

As expected, he is a fan who has not left school and has a somewhat simple mind.

After secretly talking about Versailles, Chen Jingxing certainly did not forget to round out his creative logic: "The thoughts and ideas about film creation are actually very simple. They are the fantasy of stars and sea that many men in science and engineering have, or trying to explain and imagine human evolution.

Next step - Earth is the cradle and nest of humanity, and we will have to leave the nest.

Judging from the expressions of the host and the audience, this pussy seems to be pretending to be bigger?

Chen Jingxing smiled gently: "I understand your thoughts and thank you for your support. My answer to your question is: Actually, I don't feel any grievance."

That is to educate the audience. He is a commercial film director and must not do this kind of thing.

We are definitely committed to the goal of long-term existence as a civilization, a meaningful and noble civilization, and I think this is very important to us.

For example, as everyone knows, Musk's space dream was deeply influenced by the Apollo project and "Star Wars". The reason why the first rocket was called "Falcon 1" was to pay homage to "Star Wars".

Tribute to the Millennium Falcon.

"wow..."

Going back to "Interstellar" and the so-called Space Trilogy, regardless of these so-called connotations or the creator's own deep meaning, if I really hope that this movie can bring something to the audience, it is:

After you watch the movie, you will become interested in human space career, and you will say that we need to continue, we need to explore space, and we need to go in this direction, then I think it is worth it.

Nonsense, with billions in box office and super high returns, who would feel wronged except the fans?

“My concept has always been that the so-called thoughts or profound connotations are just the icing on the cake of a movie, they are not fundamental or the most important thing.

But now it's a problem for Chen Jingxing.

After "The Matrix III" was released, many fans like me actually interpreted your thoughts and thoughts in the movie.

This young movie fan, who seemed to be still in college, blushed a little, and became more and more excited as he spoke. It was obvious that even if Chen Jingxing was not aggrieved, he already felt aggrieved for Chen Jingxing.

Although his fans have always been known for his arrogance and love of showing off and crushing others everywhere, this is really beyond Chen Jingxing's control. He has tried his best to stay low-key and humble.

Many people who are involved in the aerospace industry have been influenced by "Star Wars" and "Star Trek". Although many people say that they are not hard science fiction, it does not matter.

"Probably after the success of "Gravity", Director Qin of National Film Group asked me if I planned to make new space movies, because everyone, including the aerospace department, felt that the audience seemed to like space science fiction movies. Moreover, it has a relatively good effect in promoting China’s aerospace industry.

As a science student majoring in mathematics, I also prefer hard-core stories. Therefore, we have been working closely with the aerospace department. Including this film, we invited three scientists as consultants. You can rest assured that even if we start When it comes to imagination, I try to be as scientific as possible and use my imagination hard-core..."

Chen Jingxing was a little helpless. This was the problem with too many fans. It was difficult to avoid such fans who were not very rational.

"Director Chen, I am a fan of yours and an old fan of yours. You just talked a lot about your creative intentions. Your movies have always been entertaining and educational. Almost every movie contains something profound or profound. Or serious propositions, some thought-provoking thoughts.

And in this "Interstellar," I wanted to go further than many of the books and movies we've seen.

Of course, after "Mars" was released, the company, the Chinese film industry, and the fans were all rushing to film the last part of the trilogy. The pressure was indeed quite high, and it was also to at least realize the glory that was originally boasted, so I decided to make another space movie, after all, I can’t just keep my word.”

For example, what I talked about before about my creation of "Interstellar" and the original intention, inspiration and my thinking of creating the space trilogy. These are just my things and my thoughts. The audience does not have to understand my thoughts. My thoughts and ideas are not important, the most important thing is that the audience thinks it looks good.

I saw some of the audience's expressions seemed a little bad. There should be many of you here who are my fans. I know your tastes. I am the same as you. I can guarantee that this is definitely not a "Star Wars" type of movie."

If she were a satellite TV host, or if she was sitting in front of another celebrity, she would naturally want the guest to talk about controversial topics, but she was facing Chen Jingxing, who was also the host of the movie channel, so she still had some concerns.

If we do not go forward firmly, then human beings may encounter greater crises. This is the source of our exploration of the universe. At the same time, perhaps in addition to perseverance and courage, in addition to exerting our own wisdom, we also need other things. Things, such as responsibility and love for each other, and belief in others.

Of course, courage and perseverance alone are not enough. We need wisdom. Wisdom and courage are indispensable. This is what I want to express in "The Martian".

In addition, this movie will be quite different from "The Center of the Earth" and "Mars" because it takes place in a more distant future, and in order to realize some of my, um, crazy ideas, the movie that appears in it will Some things may be more magical and not so scientific...

The host Lan Yu seemed to be aware that this might be a controversial topic, so he also winked at Chen Jingxing and hinted that if Chen Jingxing had concerns about this paragraph, he didn't need to answer, or if he answered, if there was any inappropriateness, he would be informed when it was broadcast.

Can be cut off.

In "The Center of the Earth", I actually want to say that the efforts we are making now are worthwhile, but not enough. We have encountered difficulties and challenges on this road, but we can still stand up again. We need perseverance and courage.

Although Chen Jingxing had a lot of thoughts, he did not get stuck. Instead, he asked: "Are you a college student?"

Oops—that’s interesting.

From that time on, I came up with the idea of ​​making another space science fiction film, which led to "The Martian". While writing the script for "The Martian", the story of "Interstellar" also came about.

Inspiration, so in order to cooperate with publicity, the term "space trilogy" appeared.

It made me realize that movies about space are meaningful to you, to the audience, and to children who are still young.

I believe that our country will realize the moon landing in reality sooner or later, and I am willing to contribute a small amount to the enlightenment of dreams and the germination of some kind of consciousness and choice in the future.

I don’t think it matters what connotation is contained in the movie. If it can make you have the urge to look up at the stars after watching the movie, I think my goal has been achieved.

Finally, I would like to repeat what I said before the release of "Inception" and "The Matrix III":

I think the biggest charm of movies is that you don’t have to understand it, you just need to feel it.”
