On the eve of the summer holiday season, two sci-fi movies, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Fortress", stirred up the storm. The entire movie market was completely devoid of other movies.
After being screened on a small scale, it gained a good reputation and was endorsed by many well-known writers, directors and other public figures.
It is also an absolute hit in the movie, with 60 million fans going crazy on Weibo.
However, "The Wandering Earth" has been screened after all and will be released soon, gaining momentum.
Pre-sales started half a month in advance, and on the day before the release, pre-sales on the first day successfully exceeded 100 million.
Although the pre-sales of 130 million are much lower than the "Avengers" released in May, it does not have sky-high ticket prices, and it does not have the foundation of the previous superheroes.
There is even an argument on the Internet that China cannot produce science fiction films.
There have always been voices that look down on domestic science fiction, saying it is just a money-making gimmick.
There's no way, it's just a lack of confidence in domestic films.
However, the majority of people are still looking forward to the movie.
Under the spotlight, "The Wandering Earth" held its premiere ceremony the day before its release.
The premiere of the sci-fi blockbuster was not held in any cinema or stadium, but was held in the CPPCC Auditorium.
The CPPCC Auditorium has two floors, just like the Grand Guangming Cinema in Shanghai, which is divided into two floors and can accommodate 1,300 people.
Audiences from all over the country who had grabbed tickets for the premiere, as well as many colleagues from the industry, all gathered together.
At the premiere, Li Qian and Guo Fan were not modest either.
""The Wandering Earth" will be a milestone in domestic science fiction and a benchmark for domestic science fiction!"
As for being asked about another science fiction movie "Fortress", Guo Fan was quite polite and said nothing.
Li Qian was not polite and did not want to pretend to be a business braggart.
"It seems that "Fortress" has not been screened, and of course I have not seen it, but I also hope that it will be equally good. Domestic science fiction needs encouragement, encourage those audiences who have been looking forward to it, and also need directors who will make science fiction films in the future.
Invest in people's confidence.
Science fiction films are a new genre in China, which also means they are very fragile. If you are not careful, it is easy for the audience to lose confidence in domestic science fiction, and it will also make investors shy away from domestic science fiction."
Good guy, it’s obvious. It’s clear that “The Wandering Earth” is here to give confidence to domestic science fiction, and your “Fortress” is here to combat domestic science fiction.
So arrogant!
This was the first impression of these words for everyone present.
Teng Huatao was also in the crowd. As an opponent, of course he wanted to see the quality of "The Wandering Earth".
During the previous screenings in colleges and universities, Teng Huatao was still doing the final post-production work and had no time to do it.
But unexpectedly, I just wanted to come and watch a movie, but I was so angry at Li Qian's words.
There's no way he can have an attack. If people knew he was in the audience and secretly came to watch his opponent's premiere to detect the enemy's situation, he would probably be on the hot search tomorrow.
Li Qian on the stage didn't say anything else, it was enough to say it once.
The premiere ceremony ended smoothly, and with everyone's expectations, the movie began to be screened.
After the dragon symbol that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the opening scene shows an overhead shot of the Earth, with the outline of the Eurasian continent vaguely visible, dotted with twinkling light spots.
At the same time, a male voice rang out: Come on, come on, look, it’s Jupiter.
Three generations of grandparents were sitting on the beach. The son lowered his head and looked at the telescope intently, while the father patiently explained to his son.
It was such a happy family life, but the conversation between the father and the father-in-law seemed to be explaining the funeral arrangements and what would happen after he left.
As soon as the camera turned, the news in the United States reported a series of recent disasters, including wildfires, droughts, species extinction, and urban destruction. The disasters are expanding step by step.
Cities around the world are all in panic.
The narrator told everyone what happened:
The core of the sun is accelerating fusion, rapidly aging, and continuing to expand. It will engulf the earth in one hundred years and the solar system in three hundred years.
The close-up of that violent fireball, the big fireball that brought warmth to the earth, looked particularly dangerous and terrifying under the close-up.
Even viewers sitting in the screening room wearing 3D glasses can feel a burning sensation.
Countries around the world are looking for solutions, and the five gangsters are meeting.
In the end, the coalition government decided to build 10,000 giant engines on the earth to push the earth out of the solar system and fly to the Alpha Centauri star 4.2 light-years away.
This grand and long human immigration plan is called the "Wandering Earth Plan".
In just a few minutes, the audience was shown the catastrophe facing the earth and this unprecedented plan to wander the earth.
Star engines are being built all over the world, including those next door to the Egyptian pyramids.
He was about to escape with the earth, and the tension suddenly hit his face.
However, the Star Engine in New York was suspended due to workers' demonstrations and strikes, which made the audience happy.
As expected of a democratic country, workers will have the right to strike at the end of the world.
Think about it again in China, where we are still living a 996 life of dire straits and bloodshed, and there is no place to go to complain.
Humans also built engines on the moon. Because the moon cannot be taken away, they can only be pushed away (Moon: scum ball! After so long together, you abandoned me at the critical moment! Are you still a ball?)
In addition to the planetary engine, the Earth has established the "Navigator" international space station and has completed it. Countless rockets on the Earth have slowly lifted astronauts into the sky, which looks even more spectacular when viewed from space.
The entire opening is full of technology, and the special effects are enough to convince everyone present that this will be an excellent science fiction film.
Following the continuous deterioration of the surface environment caused by the Earth Wandering Project, the coalition government built an underground city under each engine as the only shelter for humans before arriving at their new home.
The earth's distance from the sun has caused the surface temperature to drop sharply, making it no longer suitable for survival. A thick iron door blocks life and death. Below the door is a warm underground city, where people continue to live and wait for the arrival of their new home.
, outside the door is a terrifying extremely cold hell, with abandoned unfortunates wandering in the cold wind, gradually turning into lifeless ice sculptures. Countless families have been torn apart, and countless pairs of lovers are separated here. This is reality, cold but cruel
A very correct reality.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, the adult Liu Qi, played by Peng Yuchang, was packing things in work clothes.
Although Peng Peng is usually a bit silly, it's okay to feel a little rebellious and scoundrel after his mother died and his father left him to die for more than ten years.
He glanced at the family photo with a hole cut out of the wall, and turned a deaf ear to the news on TV that the first batch of astronauts heading to the Navigator Space Station was about to return.
After leaving a letter for his grandfather, Peng Yuchang packed his things and prepared to set off.
The camera turned to the place that many people are most familiar with and hate the most - the classroom. A hand with its sleeves rolled up, which looked like its owner was not a good student, was spinning around with a pen.
Taking advantage of the moment when the teacher turned his head, he blew bubble gum.
When the top student stood up to answer a question, there was another look of contempt on his face.
Zhang Zifeng didn't have much trouble playing the role of a proper academic scumbag, even though he is usually quite well-behaved.
Suddenly, the lights in the classroom went dark, and the culprit Peng Yuchang sneaked into the classroom and took Zhang Zifeng away without anyone noticing.
The truant duo took action, took away my grandfather's truck, and joined the gangsters from the underground city to blend into the crowd heading to the surface.
Under the overhead passage to the elevator, a large number of delivery vehicles shuttle between simple and detailed buildings.
"Reverse, please pay attention."
The familiar reversing beep immediately brought tears to my eyes.
This is our own domestic science fiction film!
Slowly, a frozen city came into view of the two of them. Thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting, that's probably what it meant.
In the frozen urban agglomeration, "big pants" were clearly visible. Standing in the elevator and looking down at this beautiful but lifeless frozen city, they were shocked, sighing, and in the end only sad.
This is the capital city. There are no people coming and going, no busy traffic, only the howling cold wind, the ice and snow on the ground, and thousands of bones under the ice and snow. This is a desperate era, people are running around and working hard just to find
That tiny glimmer of hope.
When we got to the ground, Peng Yuchang took his grandfather's truck and successfully started a delivery vehicle, which was full of steampunk style heavy industry guys.
“Beijing’s Third Transportation Commission reminds you that there are tens of millions of roads, and safety comes first.”
The gentle female voice said this slogan on the radio, but it made people feel a little funny.
The movie has not been released for a long time, but it has created a real doomsday scene.
At the same time, every detail was extremely familiar to the audience present, as if it was not a fantasy world, but closely related to reality.
It's both science fiction and has a real feel.
It's not very thrilling, it just carefully shapes the background and worldview to make the audience believe that this is the end of the world.
Next, we enter the main plot.
Peng Yuchang started the loading truck. Novices always stumbled on the road. First they crashed, and then they snaked around, forcing other vehicles on the opposite side to stop. It reminded people of the time when he was relying on subject two.
However, luckily the car was driven out smoothly.
However, he was caught driving illegally not long after.
The grandpa who came over was also imprisoned because he failed to bribe the director.
And his bribery, VR suit, which contained a girl he had treasured for fifty years, also made the audience laugh.
Then an earthquake occurred, buildings collapsed, the ground cracked, people fled in all directions, and the underground city was in chaos.
The coalition government launched the third emergency plan, saturation global rescue. Saturation rescue can be understood in this way. We all know that killing a person can usually result in death by hitting a vital part with one shot. Saturation is equivalent to killing a person with one shot.
Under such circumstances, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of shots were fired to smash them into pieces.
Recommended, the novel app I am using recently, [app] is supported by Android and Apple phones!
Excessive output is called saturated output.
The group of people who escaped from the dungeon were also recruited by the rescue team to transport flint and restart the planetary engine.
Even though Wu Jing contacted his grandfather and grandson at this time and asked them to take refuge in Jinan, they were still rejected by the captain of the rescue team.
In saturation rescue, everyone must participate in the rescue unconditionally, and those who disobey orders can be shot on the spot.
The new rescue team transported the flint and set out to rescue the people. However, when passing through the Magic City, in order to transport the huge flint up, they could only go up from the elevator shaft of the building.
But just when it was about to succeed, the sliding hook fell off.
As Peng Yuchang screamed "Old man" at the top of his lungs, his grandfather's oxygen ran out, and before he died, he still resisted and asked him to take his sister home.
In the last days, sacrifice is inevitable, but this scene still moved the audience.
Some people in the rescue team were about to collapse. In order not to sacrifice themselves any more, some team members wanted to shoot and destroy the flint.
Human nature is such that everyone is fragile.
After a series of events, in the end they failed to save the flint they wanted to transport, and their hope was dashed.
When all of them were dim, Peng Yuchang suddenly thought of another way. He remembered what his father had said to him before.
Jupiter is full of hydrogen gas, which is like a balloon and will explode if it reaches a sufficient amount.
Since the Earth is now colliding with Jupiter, they can modify an ignition device, use it to detonate Jupiter, and then use the impact of the explosion to push the Earth away from the orbit of the solar system.
The crazy idea of igniting Jupiter also made the audience crazy and excited.
However, they need help. The space station's broadcast has broadcast its last broadcast to the earth. There is no hope for the earth.
All the rescuers have to leave. Some people can spend the last moments of their lives with their loved ones. Even if time does not allow, they must go back to find their loved ones.
It was Zhang Zifeng's pleading "speech" that made the rescue teams from all over the world choose to turn around and continue to do their last bit for the earth.
Some people are responsible for loading flint, while others are responsible for modifying the ignition device. Everyone is doing their best, just hoping to preserve the home of human survival-the earth.
But at the last moment, although the plan was successful, the shock wave generated by the explosion did not reach the intended height, and it was still some distance away from Jupiter.
Everyone on Earth is looking at the flash of fire in space, which is humanity's last hope.
Now, hope is dashed.
But at this time, Wu Jing of the space station resolutely chose to sacrifice himself and push the space station to Jupiter.
Peng Yuchang, who had lost his grandfather, actually understood his father, but at this time his father had to choose to sacrifice himself again. Although it was for the sake of the earth, he collapsed again.
"No!"
As he shouted pleadingly, a huge explosion occurred between the space station and Jupiter, making up for the lack of height from the previous explosion.
The huge thrust generated by the explosion successfully pushed the earth out of its original orbit.
Earth is saved!
Humanity continues its plan to wander the earth until it reaches its new home many years later and settles down in its new home.
