February 5th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In recent years, the Spring Festival has gradually become the strongest period of the year. Even though the Spring Festival technically only lasts for seven days, its average single-day box office output is still higher than any other period throughout the year.
To give you an example, the total box office for the seven-day Spring Festival last year was 5.771 billion!
This is equivalent to an average movie box office output of more than 800 million per day, which is really staggering!
This year’s Spring Festival movie slate mainly consists of seven new films.
There is not only "Crazy Alien", the third part of Ning Hao's "Crazy Trilogy", but also the racing movie "Flying Life" directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng. It is also very popular in the early stage, starring top-rated Lin Qingyuan and
The science fiction movie "The Wandering Earth" co-starring Wolf Warrior Wu Jing...
Therefore, the outside world is very optimistic and has set an expected total box office of 6 billion for this year's Spring Festival.
Although it is only an expectation, it can also reflect the popularity of these blockbusters during this year's Spring Festival.
Starting at around 8 o'clock in the morning, audiences who had bought movie tickets for the premiere day a week in advance began to walk into the cinema one after another, then checked in and entered the screening hall to find their seats and sit down.
Each of them is in a mood of great excitement and anticipation, either waiting for the broadcast of this domestic science fiction film with time-honored significance, or waiting for their idol Lin Qingyuan to appear on the big screen.
As the lights in the screening room went out, the opening commercial ended, and "The Wandering Earth" officially began.
The starry sky is vast and the Milky Way is bright.
On the beach at night, there is a bonfire, a set of portable dining tables and chairs, an off-road vehicle and a camping tent. Next to the tent is an astronomical telescope.
Wu Jing took his children to observe Jupiter with an astronomical telescope at the beach. He mentioned the "eye" storm on Jupiter and that Jupiter is a gas planet mainly composed of hydrogen.
"Grandpa, what is hydrogen?" the little boy asked.
"What is hydrogen?" Wu Mengda, who was sitting on another armchair, turned to Wu Jing and the little boy and smiled.
"Dad, use the fuel for the big rocket." The bonfire shook, lighting up the tenderness in Wu Jing's eyes.
"Liu Qi, wait until one day when you can see Jupiter without a telescope, dad will come back."
"Where are you going?"
"Dad has a mission, the most important mission in the world."
The following conversation between Wu Jing and Wu Mengda informed the audience that Liu Qi's mother had to be abandoned due to serious illness, while Wu Jing could only board the International Space Station because of his responsibilities, and his grandfather Han Ziang, played by Wu Mengda, took him alone.
The child takes refuge in the underground city.
Then bring out the background of the story:
Global disasters occur frequently because the sun is aging rapidly and continues to expand. In one hundred years, the sun will expand to the point of engulfing the entire earth. In three hundred years, the solar system will no longer exist.
Faced with this catastrophe, mankind showed unprecedented unity. In order to let more people survive, the coalition government decided to build 10,000 planetary engines to push the entire earth out of the solar system and fly to a new planet 4.2 light-years away.
home.
Hundreds of rockets were launched from all over the world at the same time, carrying coalition government astronauts and engineers to the "Navigator" International Space Station, which took thirty years of global aerospace forces to build.
The living environment continues to deteriorate, and disasters occur frequently around the world. After countless people are qualified to survive through drawing lots, they flock into supporting dungeons under the planetary engine in the endless wind and snow that are suitable for human survival.
In the dark universe, the pale blue light trail emitted by the planetary engine pushing the earth forward, the dazzling sun behind the earth, the words "goodbye to the solar system" in various languages, coupled with the majestic background music, the whole movie has an epic feel.
Come!
There was silence in the screening room, and everyone unconsciously began to hold their breath and concentrate. This is the shock that the vast and huge story background can bring to people.
Seventeen years have passed by in the blink of an eye. The adult Liu Qi, played by Lin Qingyuan, is obviously a rebellious young man. Not only is he very disdainful of his "navigator" father who is about to return, but he also leads Han Duoduo, played by Zhao Jinmai, through "tons of hardships."
He secretly left the dungeon and successfully came to the surface of the earth.
During this journey, what they saw and heard in the dungeon, including the conversations between them, were a good complement to the world view behind the movie, and also showed off Bo's popularity in China.
The above is a fault-level special effects production.
The pace of this plot is relatively gentle, so the audience has time to discuss the plot with each other in low voices.
"Did you see the blue wake produced when the planetary engine propelled the earth just now? It was really beautiful. Damn it, the whole earth is like a giant spaceship flying in the universe!"
"This special effect should be unprecedented in Chinese movies! It feels not inferior to Hollywood at all."
"It's just that the characters of the two protagonists, brother and sister, don't feel very good. One is rebellious and the other is stupid. It's really annoying for a post-apocalyptic movie to have such naughty children as the protagonists..."
"But he is still handsome. Even if Lin Qingyuan gets a haircut, he can still hold up his appearance. This face is really impressive! No wonder South Koreans admire him so much!"
"I feel that Lin Qingyuan is about to take off again. I have just watched the beginning of this movie and I feel that the box office will not be low, and this movie seems to be a good one. Damn it, plus last year's heart-pounding, these two movies
His box office performance is probably going to hit the sky..."
Next, the protagonist brother and sister secretly climbed into their grandfather Han Ziang's surface transport vehicle. After swiping the card, an artificial prompt sounded on the center console: "Han Ziang, senior driver, the Beijing Third District Transportation Commission reminds you that there are tens of millions of roads, and safety is the first priority.
One: Irregular driving will make relatives shed tears."
The audience was confused because they had never heard it before, but they always felt that this line was a bit magical and a bit brainwashing...
After a series of bumps and bumps, the carrier finally started driving on the surface without any danger.
"The world outside is so big!" Zhao Jinmai shouted excitedly.
This is another plot that uses dialogue between two people to introduce the background of the story and showcase the hard-core special effects of the movie.
On the icy and snowy surface, a large mountain was hollowed out for fuel, and a lonely truck was moving forward.
The camera zoomed up, first revealing the full view of a single propulsion engine, and then the camera continued to move up, showing the bluish blue flames ejected from the engine, and then, several, dozens, hundreds and thousands of flames appeared all over the world.
Thousands of blue flames spurt out from the "propulsive engine", pushing the earth to escape from the solar system!
This special effects shot, showing off the showmanship, really shocked many viewers across the country.
Not only did they see the amazing special effects, but they also saw the sincerity of the team behind the scenes.
If this is not the hope of domestic science fiction movies, then who else can?
On the Navigator Space Station, Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, made his official appearance. A simple daily scene told the audience that he would soon retire from the position of navigator, return home in glory and return to Earth to reunite with his family.
The foreshadowing of this plot was that Brother Maozi gave him a bottle of vodka. Of course, Liu Peiqiang did not accept it because he didn't want to "lose his security at night", so Brother Maozi secretly put the wine in his space suit.
Just as everyone at the space station was celebrating Liu Peiqiang's upcoming retirement, the space station suddenly issued an alarm. The artificial intelligence Moss detected that the earth's flight orbit was affected by the gravity of Jupiter, and the probability of an earth-wood collision suddenly increased. At the same time, nearly half of the world's
The planetary engine unit applauded, and the steering thrust was seriously lacking...
Moss issued a desperate ultimatum: Earth will hit Jupiter in thirty-seven hours.
At that time, what awaits mankind on earth will undoubtedly be instantaneous destruction...
At this point, the movie began to enter a tense evacuation rhythm, and the audience in the cinema held their breath and did not dare to speak.
On Earth, Liu Qi and Han Duoduo were detained on suspicion of "driving without a license." Grandpa, played by Wu Mengda, came out to redeem their people, but failed to bribe the guards with pornographic films and was imprisoned instead. Then he rescued a white-haired foreign kid during an earthquake.
elder brother.
A group of four people drove to the nearest supply point in danger...
After finally moving to an open area and temporarily escaping, they received an emergency notice from the coalition government. More than 4,000 engines around the world were shut down and the surface carriers of Liu Qi and others were temporarily requisitioned by the military.
The rescue team soldiers played by Li Guangjie and others appeared wearing a mechanical exoskeleton armor and took Liu Qi and his party to Hangzhou for rescue.
Target, restart the surface engine!
The rescue team passed through the Magic City, and the entire city was covered in ice, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Central Building, and a 2044 Olympics building fictionalized by the director...
During this period, the rescue convoy encountered various dangers and shocking scenes. The vehicle was buried in ice, and the rescue team could only climb up the elevator from inside a frozen building.
The grandfather played by Wu Mengda also died in this process...
There was an accident in the elevator shaft. Han Ziang was trapped on the middle floor. His protective suit was damaged and his oxygen was gradually depleted. He sat on the sofa resignedly, took off his protective mask, and turned around with difficulty to look at the place where he was born.
While grandpa was gradually being frozen, the part of fanning came also.
This is an inner monologue of his.
"On the seventeenth day when the earth stopped spinning, I rescued a child. Countless hands pushed her in front of me. I didn't know who her parents were, but everyone under the water was her parents.
"
Countless hands under the turbulent waves lifted a little baby from the water, and finally passed it into Han Ziang's hands.
"I named her Han Duoduo, and I gave her my daughter's name."
When the camera turned, Han Duoduo and Liu Qi, who had successfully reached the ground, were shouting for grandpa and grandpa at the top of their lungs.
In the original film, Liu Qi called "old guy" here, but after Lin Qingyuan brought it into the audience's perspective, he felt that this "old guy" sentence was harsh no matter how he heard it, so after he argued hard, he changed it to a more suitable "grandpa".
"Don't be afraid, kid, we will be a family from now on."
Then, a warm memory of the three's childhood flashed back.
"Hukou, as a brother, you must protect your sister and take Duoduo home..."
The screen transitioned again to Liu Qi and the rescue team on the ground.
Han Duoduo lay on the ground crying bitterly, while Liu Qi's veins popped out and he gritted his teeth to hold back the tears.
But just when the two people lost their loved ones and were grieving, the rescue team, which adheres to the principle of absolute obedience to orders, actually wanted to continue carrying out the mission.
This inhumane and absolute obedience made Liu Qi instantly furious, and he immediately started having sex with Wang Lei.
However, there is a big gap between civilian exoskeletons and military exoskeletons, so no matter how angry and strong Liu Qi is, he will never be able to escape the fate of being easily subdued by Wang Lei.
The car was destroyed and Liu Qi was of no use to the rescue team, so the two teams separated.
The rescue team continued on foot to Hangzhou.
Liu Qize took Duoduo and Tim, and soon found another car, where he met a glasses man who knew technology.
Looking at this embarrassing and chaotic situation, this old man named Li Yiyi has obviously just experienced a fierce battle...
This is also the only part about the rebels that has not been cut in the entire film.
Of course, the rebels have nothing to do with the main theme of saving the earth in this movie, so the director didn't mention it much and quickly brushed it off, just treating it as a foreshadowing to pave the way for the sequel.
Liu Qi comforted him and then drove towards the capital...
At the same time, the rescue team led by Wang Lei, played by Li Guangjie, discovered that the Hangzhou Underground City was gone before they arrived at their destination.
In other words, all the teammates who died along the way died in vain!
Just when the rescue team was disheartened and falling apart, Liu Qi drove over and asked them to help rescue Sulawesi.
Role reversal, protagonist's growth.
"Li Guangjie's acting skills are good. He played the role of life without love very well!"
"I found that Lin Qingyuan is really suitable for this kind of arrogant and rebellious character. The look in his eyes unexpectedly matches this kind of character. They are both crazy."
"Did you notice that Lin Qingyuan's voice changed when he said this line? He obviously became more serious."
"Lin Qingyuan's performance is still acceptable. Although it is far from outstanding, he does not feel abrupt at all in the movie. He is well integrated into it. It gives the impression that his performance is very harmonious.
But the character’s growth and transition are too blunt.”
Baimeng book
"There is still a growth line for the protagonist, and it can be seen that the director wants the rebellious protagonist to change, but it is probably limited by the length, so he can only speed up the growth of the protagonist and speed up, which will cause us as an audience
