But the leader has a good reputation for doing things, so he held a symposium.
Symposiums are a major feature. Everyone gets together, drinks tea, chats, and is reimbursed, which is great. Of course, some symposiums are really useless, and some are different and can send out some signals.
Liu Cixin and some science fiction writers, as well as Yao Haijun, Tian Xiaopeng, Yang Lei, Guo Fan, Gong Ge, etc., just a few dozen people, are already all the power of domestic science fiction.
Including literature, publishing, animation, film and television...
The boss felt sad after reading it. He talked a lot about it at the meeting. He exchanged his thoughts with Liu Cixin after reading it, encouraged the production of "Three-Body" and "The Wandering Earth", and in the end he summarized it as usual:
"I hope that everyone will conscientiously implement the central government's opinions on the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art, hold high the banner of ideals and science, create more excellent works that are loved by the people, especially young people, and inject positive scientific energy into the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
After the symposium, it was the Galaxy Awards again, which was very lively. Liu Cixin was invited and presented with a "Special Merit Award."
In short, under Yao Yuan's marketing, the science fiction style has taken off.
But popularity comes and goes quickly. In the end, the work has to speak for itself. If the work is poor, the audience will not respond with understanding and sympathy, but will only give strong ridicule.
"Look at it, let me tell you that Chinese science fiction is not good!"
…………
When does 3+7 equal 8?
Answer: When the Mid-Autumn Festival meets National Day.
The summer heat in Beijing has subsided, and it’s September, and the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are about to come. This year is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 27th. I have one day off, then three consecutive days of work, and another seven days off.
Everyone has long been accustomed to such fragmented holidays.
In fact, the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a one-day holiday, but it was adjusted to include the weekend, giving the illusion of a three-day holiday.
For Guo Fan and Gong Geer, the concepts of work and vacation no longer exist. They have been in seclusion for 7-8 months, and today they feel like they can relax.
Morning, 99 headquarters.
The two of them looked sad and stubbled, as if they had just returned from hiking in XZ and walked into a large conference room.
I was surprised when I walked in. Mr. Yao and Mr. Yu were sitting there. Next to them was the new Chairman of China Film Group, La, and a circle of strangers. I glanced at the nameplate and it read:
CNNC, China Aerospace, China Construction, PetroChina, Sinopec, XCMG, Dongfeng Motor, EDIFIER, ROG, etc.
"..."
Guo Fan's heart was beating wildly. He was not so nervous when he held a girl's hand for the first time. He didn't expect that there would be such a big battle today. This was an interview!
"Our director and producer are here, please take a seat!"
Yu Jiajia acted as the host and said with a smile: "Not long ago, the script of "The Wandering Earth" was approved. It contains a lot of technological hardware equipment. We are laymen, so we invite everyone to study together to see how these equipment can be used.
Can't make it?
One of the requirements for filming "The Wandering Earth" is to use real things, try to use real things."
"This is not a secret. It is mainly to cooperate with the planning of the theme park..."
Yao Yuan also spoke and said with a smile: "I am planning to build a huge theme park. Science fiction is one of the core elements. I hope that after the filming of the movie is completed, those hard-core equipment can be placed in the park."
"Okay, let's officially start!"
Yu Jiajia signaled to Guo Fan, who swallowed his saliva, stood in front of the big screen, and used PPT to explain "The Wandering Earth" to everyone like a worker reporting on his work.
"The story takes place in 2075. Scientists discovered that the sun is aging rapidly, and the entire solar system, including the earth, will be destroyed in a short time. We proposed a bold plan called 'The Wandering Earth' and devoted all human efforts to build tens of thousands of
Planetary engines push the earth out of the solar system and find a new home..."
First a brief story was told, and then a lot of scrawled drawings appeared on the big screen.
"Now there are dozens of people in the team, and sometimes we just sketch out some preliminary ideas."
"According to our idea, we first need to show the life in the underground city. Children have to go to class, eat what food, and play bully. The lower class is divided into ordinary people, there are gang-like elder brothers, there are entertainment venues, and there are neighborhood committee leaders.
Everyone celebrates the Spring Festival..."
"The earth has gone away, and there is still a neighborhood committee?"
Someone laughed.
"Hey, this is the biggest feature. We want to produce Chinese science fiction that is different from Hollywood, which is the political structure and collective consciousness!
Of course, we can’t take too many photos of the political structure. Let’s show the neighborhood committee to show that we are still in order.
There is nothing high-tech in this part of the dungeon. Then as the plot unfolds, the protagonist will go to the surface. It is already minus 80 degrees outside, it is frozen, and many heavy machines are collecting resources..."
Guo Fan became excited and said: "For example, this transport vehicle is a tool that runs through the whole process. It needs to be designed to show its personality and be unforgettable at first sight.
I have researched a lot of information recently and have some superficial understanding.
Belarus has built a Belaz 75710 mine car, which is 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, 8 meters high, and has a load capacity of 450 tons. When I look at the picture, the car looks like a hill, and a person is no taller than a tire.
Just think of me as whimsical, and I would like to ask all the experts, is it possible to design a taller and larger vehicle to serve as our delivery vehicle?"
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, XCMG asked: "How big do you want it to be?"
XCMG Group is a Fortune 500 company specializing in construction machinery such as cranes, excavators, and loaders.
"I don't have any idea. The bigger the better."
"Then there must be a parameter?"
"For example, can it be made with a length of 50 meters, a height of 10 meters, and a load capacity of 3,000 tons?"
Yao Yuan suddenly interrupted.
puff!
Now, unlike in "The Wandering Earth 2", where the national team was fully supportive, everyone was here just for political tasks, and their subjective initiative was not strong.
The representative of XCMG looked like a fool and said: "Boss Yao, it is 50 meters long and has a load capacity of 3,000 tons. How dare you think about it!"
"It's science fiction. I don't even think about calling it science fiction. It would be really fun to put such a big car in the park. I just want to ask if it can be made?"
"..."
The other party thought for a moment and told the truth: "In terms of load alone, it can be solved by tens of thousands of tons. If we ask for a vehicle type, it is simply impossible. But we can make a shell according to the design. It looks decent on the outside, but in fact
Can't move."
"No, no, everyone understood it wrong."
Yao Yuan shook his head and explained: "I want to put this car in the amusement park. It carries 3,000 tons in the movie, but it is not used in reality. It is just a big toy 50 meters long.
As for the cars used in movie shooting, you can modify them with real cars and make a miniature version."
