Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Husband, are you kidding me? How can you take the earth with you?" Meiliang mocked.

"Dad, is this really possible?" Yu Tongtong turned her head and looked at him.

"Theoretically it's feasible." Yu Dongqing said seriously:

"Build 12,000 planetary engines based on fusion technology and place them on the equator, the Eurasian continent and the American continent in the northern hemisphere. Use the reverse thrust of the planetary engines to stop the earth's autorotation, then reverse the thrust direction of the engines and turn on full power to accelerate the earth. Sail out of the solar system.”

"Use the sun and Jupiter to complete the final acceleration and sail towards the new home chosen by mankind, Proxima Centauri."

"After leaving the sun, the planetary engine is turned on at full power, using 500 years to accelerate the earth to five thousandths of the speed of light, and then coasting for 1,300 years; then the engine is turned around, and 700 years are used to decelerate;"

"2,500 years later, the Earth will move into the orbit of Proxima Centauri and become a planet of Proxima Centauri."

Yu Dongqing spoke eloquently and Mingliang was dumbfounded.

"Dad, is this really possible?" Yu Tongtong didn't believe it.

"Fake!" Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Isn't "Silver Star Empire" a science fiction movie? This is just science fiction."

"Dad, your science fiction sounds so interesting." Yu Tongtong said.

Of course, this is Liu’s novel.

"Dad, please tell me in detail, just like you gave me the Wizard of Oz and Kung Fu Panda when I was a kid!" Yu Tongtong hugged her father's arm excitedly.

Also mention Kung Fu Panda?

When her daughter was in elementary school, she promised Xia Yunxing's father, Xia Chunqiu, to write it and publish it. Now that her daughter is about to enter high school, she has yet to write it.

However, a father must satisfy his daughter's demands.

"Then let's go back and talk as we walk."

"good!"

Yu Dongqing held his daughter on his left arm and his wife on his right arm. The three of them left the planetarium, and he talked as they walked.

"This is the memory of a little boy, from birth to death: "I have never seen the night, I have not seen the stars, I have not seen spring, autumn and winter. "

“I was born at the end of the brake era, when the earth just stopped spinning.”

Yu Dongqing talked about the famous work "The Wandering Earth" by the famous time and space writer.

The story is not long, just over 20,000 words. Yu Dongqing only remembered the important plot, and some details were not clear. At least he was good at telling stories. Although some parts of the story were confusing and full of flaws, Yu Tongtong still listened with interest.

Especially after hearing that the sun has not exploded for a long time, the people questioned the government's plan to wander the earth. They believed that the coalition government was lying to them, that they had destroyed the earth, and then executed the "liars".

5,000 soldiers were judged by all mankind, stripped of their protective clothing, and pushed to the ground at minus 100 degrees. The cold turned them into ice sculptures and stood forever on the surface of the earth.

Yu Tongtong burst into tears upon hearing this.

"Why, why is this happening?"

"Because it is indeed a luxury to keep human beings sane forever." Yu Dongqing took out his arm and touched his daughter's head and smiled.

Yu Tongtong didn't understand and urged her father to continue talking.

"At this time, a solar helium flash broke out. The solar explosion only lasted a short time. After two hours, the strong light began to weaken sharply and soon went out. The sun died."

In the taxi back to the hotel, Yu Dongqing was still telling this story to her daughter.

"Dad, did the earth finally wander to the constellation Sagittarius?" the daughter asked.

"It should be here, otherwise the efforts of 100 generations would be in vain? Wouldn't the sacrifice of 5,000 people be in vain?" Yu Dongqing smiled.

After returning to the hotel, they each washed up and went to bed. Only then did Meili blame him in a low voice:

"Husband, where did you come up with these weird stories? It sounds good, but your human nature is so indifferent, with almost no love and affection. Your father falls in love with a woman casually, but your mother is indifferent. Tell Tongtong like this. Okay?!”

"You should talk about human beings uniting together to face difficulties together, and parents have deep feelings for each other! And the male protagonist does the same to his wife!"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Yu Dongqing smiled.

It turns out that this is how the time and space movie was shot.

The plan was to go to Disneyland, but Yu Tongtong suddenly changed her mind.

If you have to go to Universal Studios Hollywood, it's not to go see a movie, but to see how foreigners make movies. (Hollywood has a crew that is open every day to allow tourists to observe the filming process)

"I heard from Uncle Li that "Silver Star Empire 5" is being filmed here right now. I want to go and see it!"

Yu Dongqing was very curious after hearing this.

"Tongtong, what's the difference between foreigners making movies and me and your aunt making movies?" Yu Dongqing felt very strange.

"It's different! It's a science fiction movie! You told that science fiction story yesterday, and I suddenly became interested in science fiction movies. Uncle Li said that you can see the spaceship in the movie!" said her daughter.

Those are all models.

Okay, you can go if you want, I won't go.

When it was time to eat in the evening, Mingliang and Yu Tongtong came back happily.

"Dad, my aunt and I went to the studio to see it. Wow, it's so big inside! There are so many models and so many people!" Yu Tongtong said excitedly.

"Science fiction films, of course, require more material and manpower than ordinary films. They are very expensive, especially in post-production." Yu Dongqing explained.

"Husband, when you mentioned post-production, I met a Chinese special effects production team at the scene." Meili suddenly said.

"Huh? It's not easy for a domestic special effects team to come to Hollywood to take over the work of the famous "Silver Star Empire"."

"No, they are all international students. They established a technology company called Rays in Silicon Valley, specializing in producing special effects for Hollywood movies."

"The young man named Wei Wenming recognized me. He is a company manager. He said that he had watched "The Swordsman" and "Ashes of Time" when he returned to China," Mingliang explained.

Oh I got it.

Yu Dongqing knew that when doing special effects for blockbusters like "Silver Star Empire", there are usually several teams, and a certain team is responsible for part of it.

However, being able to attract the attention of the production team shows that this Rays company still has two skills.

Suddenly, Yu Dongqing thought of something and asked: "Meiliang, do you have the contact information of Wei Wenming from Rays?"

"No, we just chatted for a few words."

"Will the studio of "Movie Star Empire" still be open tomorrow?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"No, we'll just open today." Meiliang replied, then thought about it and said, "If you want to find Wei Wenming's contact information, you can ask Li Yunjie for help."

This is also a way.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Honey, why do you want Wei Wenming's contact information? Do you want to make science fiction movies in the future?" Meili was a little skeptical.

"Maybe, it's possible."

"Honey, science fiction movies are not like martial arts movies. Investment is one thing. More importantly, Hollywood has a complete film industry assembly line, but we don't have one in China. More importantly, we need a good science fiction script!" Mingliang reminded. road.

"Auntie, what you said is wrong! I think "The Wandering Earth" that Dad talked about would look great when filmed!" Yu Tongtong suddenly retorted.

ah?

"Tongtong, you don't understand. From a director's point of view, the story my father told was too grand in structure and lacked all kinds of details. It would be too difficult to film it," Meiliang explained.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, let's eat." Yu Dongqing stopped the mother-daughter argument in time.
