The popularity of "Little Shoes" has gradually faded away, but for Li Yi, this movie still brought him something, such as the admiration of the Iranian film circle.
Even many Iranian directors like Abbas have begun to prepare films like "Little Shoes" that are not pure satires or expose social issues.
Li Yi calmed down again. He wanted to do it, but someone wouldn't let him.
Although science fiction movies have developed to a certain extent in China in recent years, in fact, with several major productions hitting the streets one after another, according to fans, Li Yi opened the door to China's science fiction movies, but latecomers have also
This door has been closed again.
For this reason, this year's science fiction film festival seems very embarrassing, because there are only three or two domestic science fiction films this year, and there are no heavyweight local science fiction films registered at all.
Although there is still some time before the Science Fiction Film Festival, the Science Fiction Film Festival is in a hurry.
Although this film festival has never been able to gain a lot of influence, it is still a film festival after all. Without the participation of local science fiction films, it would be really embarrassing to open the door. It would be extremely embarrassing.
In fact, it is not to blame that domestic directors are unwilling to make science fiction movies. Firstly, there are indeed constraints. Secondly, it is also because science fiction movies require too much script at a small cost, and the risks are too high for large productions. The return on investment is not proportional to the risk, so the capital
Naturally, I prefer films that can make a big impact with a small gain, or those that are sure to make money without losing money.
As a result, science fiction movies faced another extremely embarrassing scene.
No, it has almost become a popular saying in the domestic film circle that when a movie encounters a problem, you should turn to Li Yi.
For this reason, Li Yi was naturally approached again.
Originally, since we were not familiar with each other, Li Yi could have refused, but he couldn't stand it. The other party had indeed extensive connections, so he found many of Li Yi's close friends as lobbyists, and finally even found Li Yi's daughter-in-law, Mu Qing, to be the lobbyist.
guest.
"Why are you trying to become a lobbyist?" Li Yi said helplessly.
"I can't help it. It's the favor I owed back then. Of course, if you're not interested, forget it." Mu Qing didn't force it.
This kind of thing itself cannot be forced.
"To be honest, domestic science fiction movies are really not easy to make, mainly because I don't have any ready-made books here." Li Yi shook his head.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Mu Qing said nonchalantly.
Li Yi is interested, but as he said, God knows when inspiration will come.
In the following days, the Science Fiction Film Festival worked hard everywhere, hoping to have suitable film sources to sign up for this year's Science Fiction Film Festival, but unfortunately there was very little harvest.
But that day, Li Yi saw an article.
A very special article.
This article is not a particularly popular article, but the editor is remembering a scientist who was once not understood or recognized by others.
And a paragraph of words appeared in Li Yi's mind involuntarily.
The ancient Greek geometer Apollonius summarized the theory of conic sections, and 1,800 years later the German astronomer Kepler applied it to the theory of planetary orbits. Galois founded group theory in 1831 AD, and at that time the academic community
No one understood his ideas, so the paper was not published. More than a hundred years later, group theory was concretely applied. The matrix theory founded by Cayley around 1855 AD was applied to quantum mechanics sixty years later.
Mathematicians J.H Lambert, Gauss, Riemann, Lobachevsky and others proposed and developed non-Euclidean geometry. Gauss spent his life exploring the practical applications of non-Euclidean geometry, but he ended up with regrets. Non-Euclidean geometry
One hundred and seventy years after its birth, this theory, which was widely ridiculed as useless at the time, and the tensor analysis theory developed from it, became the core foundation of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
He Xi independently proposed the microcontinuum theory and completed it in 1999. One hundred and fifty years later, this achievement finally led to the birth of the grand unified field theory equation. The world is silent, for these sad names, for these sad names
The thousand years of loneliness that followed.
It's very special. The memory triggered by Li Yi this time is not a movie, but a novel, a science fiction novel!
"Heartbreaker"!
Speaking of which, although this science fiction short story won the Galaxy Award from Another World, it was quite controversial.
Some people think that this is not science fiction at all.
Even if the process of "time and space travel" is cut out, it is difficult to say that this is a "science fiction" work, and "time and space travel" is already the most popular threshold of science fiction. What is even more concerning is that "The Heartbreaker"
There are many "flaws" that are difficult to ignore. For example, "questions about the significance of mathematical applications", "publishing books as a way of presenting academic achievements", "what observers can find out from the ruins one hundred and fifty years later"
This book" and so on. All of these are filled with a writer's imagination about the scientific academic world.
But this is not important. In the minds of many people, it is still a monument of "soft science fiction". The philosophy reflected in it has both the glorious praise of motherhood and the spirit of seeking truth. The latter makes people feel
I feel that it is really a work that cannot be more "sci-fi".
And the excellence of "The Heartbreaker" doesn't stop there. In the novel, the author writes: "Your eyes will deceive you, your ears will deceive you, your imagination will deceive you, but mathematics will not." That's right.
Because modern mathematics has developed to this day, non-Euclidean geometry has touched the limits of human perception, and people have begun to believe in logical deductions in pure mathematics. Unfortunately, Roche is a tragedy in this era of transformation.
Therefore, while I was moved by the family affection in "The Heartbreaker", I couldn't help but be moved by those mathematicians in history who gritted their teeth and insisted on the truth, and felt sorry for those mathematicians who wereted their lives because of their talent.
Due to the limitations and objectivity of the times, every idea that transcends the times may have difficulty getting the respect and glory it deserves.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Putting aside these, for Li Yi, is "The Heartbreaker" a good story?
The answer is yes, its expression is very similar to "A Beautiful Mind" - the growth process of a genius scientist!
Of course, if the novel is to be adapted into a movie script, certain adaptations must be made, but it is enough.
In fact, "The Heartbreakers" is a collection, and the story with the same name is only one in the collection.
"The Heartbreaker" is the first volume and only has 40 pages.
Although "The Heartbreaker" is defined as a science fiction novel, it should be classified as soft science fiction, because there are very few science fiction elements throughout the book, except for an invisible "I" narrating and the use of time and space transformation. But this does not affect its appeal.
The image of science fiction, on the contrary, removes the grand scenes and out-of-control wild thoughts, and combines the compact character structure with a compact and profound view of human nature, the times and the universe. The description of human nature in the text has a bit more poetry and beauty that is rare in science fiction.
, adding a bit of real feeling.
The climax of the book is when the mathematical genius He Xi takes a tough stand when facing the microcontinuum theory he discovered, and confronts the fierce opposition and conflicts of the era in which he lived, including love, friendship, ideals and the trend of the times.
Micro-continuum theory, this great existence that transcends the times, when it is not accepted by the times, the protagonist He Xi is not burdened with honor, but is the enemy of the world. The girlfriend he is in love with gradually drifts away, and the mentor’s original intention is forgotten in real life.
, the worldly society takes the opportunity to coerce, making the protagonist's pale and helpless sadness vividly appear on the page. Fortunately, from beginning to end, what allows people to breathe in this resentful depression is the selfless love from their mother Xia Qunfang, which is the only one.
Immortal hope, everlasting.
Li Yi has read this novel many times. It can be said that there are three points in the book that make people feel the most sensitive and profound: time, maternal love, and obsession.
Time, no one can explain what it is. You say that it is ordinary and exists all the time. Everyone has it, regardless of origin, high or low, and it seems to be nothing special. But sometimes, time is something that
It’s like a scourge that swallows you up and makes you unable to resist. Just like what He Xi’s girlfriend Jiang Xue wrote when she went abroad for further study after breaking up with him: “…Looking back on everything that day, it’s like
In the dream, we had so many happy times. I really don’t know what I should do. I am not a fickle person. I still think so to this day.
I once believed that true love was invincible, but now I know that there is only one thing in this world that is truly invincible, and that is time.
Pain, joy, love and hate, they can all be defeated in the face of time, even if you thought they were unforgettable at first. Nothing dares to be called eternal in the face of time. When I wrote this paragraph
Sometimes, my tears couldn't stop flowing down, but it was not because of my love for you, but because I hated myself for changing my love for you - I thought it was impossible."
In her eyes, he was so noble, no matter how outsiders said they were a combination of "flowers and cow dung", or how shabby and pedantic he looked to outsiders.
On the contrary, Jiang Xue felt that He Xi was the smartest and clearest person she had ever seen. He was full of aura, especially his eyes. She had never seen anyone with such a pair of wise and profound eyes before.
When she saw those eyes, she couldn't help but think that someone with such eyes must be extraordinary.
However, she never expected that after she went abroad for further studies, the two of them could reunite and plan a magnificent life. However, she never expected that the giant time would separate them from each other.
Can you call it betrayal? Not really, they love each other so deeply and know each other.
However, the cruel thing is that in the face of time, do not try to prove or compare anything with time.
Because the existence of time allows love, hope and life to have support and support. However, we often ignore the existence of time as a matter of course and pretentiously think that time should be reasonable for everyone until we are surrounded by it.
At that moment, I realized that I was trapped and unable to do anything.
Facing the prehistoric times, what should we do? The answer is no. The only thing we can do when we live in time is to cherish everything you have at the right time and enjoy the life given to you by every particle of time.
Meaning. You can't change it, nor can you control it, but you must respect it.
Of course, this is the most specific and differentiable existence of time. The power of time in the article focuses on the existence of the entire era at that time.
It is precisely because the protagonist's mission is not consistent with his era that the tragedy of genius occurs. The theory of microcontinuum, a great work and extraordinary thought that was only recognized a hundred years later, serves as the breakthrough theoretical basis for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
The mathematical expression of the unified equation was ignored and even laughed at in the protagonist's era 150 years ago.
What kind of strange thought is it that allows the protagonist to transcend the constraints of the times and unswervingly fulfill what he believes to be his "destiny" with a martyr's spirit? He must have greatness that transcends the times, but he is also destined to succumb to the times.
The limitations imposed by society cannot be broken away from. This is also the focus of the conflict in the whole book. It is precisely because of this irreconcilable conflict that the protagonist embarks on a side that deviates from the entire era, and this era, and the people wrapped in this era.
In opposition to things, he loyally and alone guards the micro-continuity he discovered that exudes scorching brilliance. Even one hundred and fifty years after the author, this tome has been swept away by the sand of time as if it had never existed.
It was completely buried and no one knew about it. Until today, when it was discovered again, modern people were surprised by its work of heaven. The times were right.
Who can say that time is ordinary? It records and defines all things. Its power to turn its hands into clouds and rain makes survival or destruction determined by it in just an instant. Some things have no meaning in themselves, but they are endowed by time.
It has meaning. The existence of time allows all things to take root and sprout on it, bloom dazzling flowers, and bear fruit.
In Li Yi's view, the most outstanding aspect of "The Heartbreaker" is not science fiction, but maternal love.
There is nothing wrong with this, and it is even more because of maternal love that this chapter is praised.
The article begins with the scene of mother Xia Qunfang bargaining with vendors at the vegetable market. From the beginning to the end of the article, her mother's companionship has been by her side and has never stopped. It is precisely because of her mother's warmth and love that the helpless protagonist in the book can still grasp the situation.
Gaining a glimmer of hope in this world, although this hope is not very effective, it does give warmth to the weeper and also adds a rare softness to the article.
It's hard to imagine, no, as an ordinary person, it should be hard to imagine, but for Xia Qunfang, a poor mother who bargained for a few cents in trivial life, she was able to write a book when her son He Xi made a desperate move for his micro-continuity.
He could hand over the money that the factory bought him out of with 27 years of service to his son without hesitation, regardless of the consequences. This move was so natural.
She believed in her son, just like she was filled with awe after seeing her son's book printed. In her opinion, books are the standard and the most amazing thing in the world, and the person who writes the book is of course even more amazing.
And these books were all written by his son. But she didn’t know that these were books that no one would buy, or even send to the library for collection. So, she sent such books to various places.
It is blocked in primary and secondary schools, so that my son can feel that his books are actually read by others.
People always lament that maternal love is as strong as ever, but it is enough to see the powerlessness of maternal love. Xia Qunfang's love is so full that it makes people feel a cherished dream, but when the mother's wish to send more books to her son is gone, nothing happens.
As a result, when no one cares about the mother's actions after giving out her love, one can feel a sense of powerlessness and desolation. How much she wants to help her son, she has already thought of everything she can think of to help her son.
She tried her best in everything she did. However, the times did not show tolerance to the two of them because of her sincerity, kindness and love. In the end, they left, leaving this world that they could not understand in their entire lives.
It was as if they had never been here.
However, no matter how cold the times, He Xi is lucky. At least, his mother will accompany him to the end. His mother, Xia Qunfang, should also be happy, because He Xi's call at the end of his life is the two warmest words in the world.
