Chapter 521, The World of The Three-Body Problem
China, Magic City, 8pm.
“What do you think of Westworld?”
"How can I see? I can use my eyes. What else can I use to see?"
At this time, Ni Haishao and Pan Donghai, two people in the Science Fiction Association, were chatting about their viewing experience of "Westworld" this time. They were also discussing this matter in their own small QQ group.
It’s quite nice, that’s their evaluation.
And Ni Haishao also gave it a "pretty good" evaluation.
The advance broadcast and preview of "Westworld" received rave reviews. It seems that this work currently has a considerable mass base.
That is to say.
Even the most ordinary people can understand the highlights of this TV series.
"Westworld" has achieved something that is difficult for ordinary science fiction to do, that is, to take into account both ordinary audiences and "high-end audiences" headed by science fiction fans of science fiction associations.
The solution is also very simple.
The funding, the amount of money, and the visual spectacles can allow ordinary audiences to empathize with the film, and the AI settings are also novel enough. At least for domestic audiences, it is novel enough.
For Ni Haishao, Pan Donghai and others.
The human entanglement of AI is a more interesting point, the emotions and "awakening" between robots and humans.
These are the highlights.
They are all interesting places.
At least, they all saw some bright spots.
"No wonder this thing is considered a masterpiece in the Western world. It's not all exaggerated. It's really well done." Pan Donghai joked at this time. At least his first day of watching the movie was very interesting.
He had read the original Westworld, so he had no doubts about the plot and knew the development of the plot very clearly.
And just knowing the original plot is enough to get such a movie-watching experience.
Pan Donghai prefers reading to watching TV dramas.
It’s a pity that he likes hard science fiction works such as Interstellar and Galaxy, but not this work in front of him.
It's between soft and hard.
It's okay.
It’s really nice to be able to watch such works during the New Year holiday.
Today, the domestic science fiction film Wesley was also broadcast, which falls into the category of true soft science fiction.
Although many people in the Science Fiction Association are flattering him.
The praise is beyond words.
But they did not give Wesley any ratings in public, nor did they publish any articles in the name of the Science Fiction Association.
In this regard, Ni Haishao was even somewhat relieved that these guys did not say anything against their will just to curry favor with him.
This is very interesting.
He was really afraid that this group of guys would flatter some stinky feet and do these flattering things because of his uncle.
This is very boring.
Objective and rational.
Those who claim to be high-end talents should possess such qualities and look at their works rationally and objectively.
In this way, their science fiction association can exist for a long time.
A long-lasting and valuable existence.
Of course, Ni Haishao is not stingy with some verbal compliments. It is better to say that the more the better. Just stay rational and objective in serious occasions.
And at this moment, after watching the comparison between these two dramas.
Objectively speaking, Wesley's appeal is not as strong as Westworld, although it can be considered excellent among domestic works, especially because it incorporates some science fiction feelings belonging to traditional Chinese culture and has its own characteristics.
But that's it.
That's all. The one who was most dissatisfied was actually Pan Donghai, who was a true hard science fiction fan.
Maybe in the field of science fiction, you can't have your cake and eat it too. The viewing threshold and the plot threshold must not be too high. After all, practitioners really have to rely on ratings to make a living. But the viewing threshold is low. What a contradiction.
If it is hard science fiction, then in this issue, the only one that is strictly speaking declared to be one is "The Three-Body Problem".
But having said that, no one in the Science Fiction Association is optimistic about this "hard science fiction".
In other words, if Li Yun's work is soft science fiction disguised as humanities and folklore, then it might be interesting.
As a TV series, it should be good, but as 'hard science fiction', no one will be interested in it.
After all, he is not good at this, nor should he be good at it.
Wesley's work can be considered a combination of folklore and science fiction, or soft science fiction, and it is actually quite popular.
At least in China, there are many people who buy into this. The final first-day ratings were not too low, at 5.9, which is considered "rooted in the masses" art. Even on the first day of the first broadcast, the biggest discussion was whether this drama could be called a "science fiction" work. This is actually a slightly confusing point. Confused about whether it can be called "science fiction".
But as a 'work' it has achieved good results.
The story of the series begins with the "Earth's Core" chapter.
At this time, after receiving the feedback, Liu Shanhe probably felt that "Wesley" was indeed a good work.
At least, the audience recognized it and gave it a favorable review, but within a limited time, choosing "Westworld" is still the choice of most audiences.
First of all, the visual spectacle is an incomparable advantage. Being able to see such movie-level special effects on TV is a completely addictive feeling.
"I think I did my best. These three directors fully utilized their greatest strengths, and combined them with the excellent original script. It should be considered impressive. But now, as you can see, the result is still a little bit worse than Westworld." Liu Shanhe sighed.
"The funding gap is almost ten times, and it's good to be able to produce this kind of effect. Let's leave it at that."
Lu Zhengguang said at this time: "Besides, it still attracted some viewership, so it's not too bad."
"Wesley" does not have powerful visual spectacles, but it also has suspense and character development. Coupled with Zhang Dabei's blower, the atmosphere can occasionally be made "eerie and windy", which is just right to complement the subject matter.
There are still people who like this . They like the "small-scale" stories, rather than the big-scale themes of "resistance" and "self-awareness" like "Westworld".
This topic is too big, and ordinary people cannot bear it, and ordinary works cannot bear it.
It is not surprising for a domestically produced film, as it is good at using "small-scale" stories to tell delicate emotions.
At this time, Lu Zhengguang was thinking about his expertise in "small-scale" stories.
Li Yun Thinking about it, he sighed again.
If If Li Yun were to tell the story of "small pattern" and compete with Wesley on the same stage, it would be a great feast.
What a pity.
Born at the wrong time.
Encountered such a cultural invasion.
At this time, the results of "Westworld" and "Wesley" have also come out. "Westworld" is much better than "Wesley". The ratings of the second episode of "Westworld" have not dropped but increased. The audience loyalty is almost 100%. Wang Chen thinks that it should be okay to open a bottle of champagne at this time. York Foley, the main creator of "Westworld" next to him, is also concerned about the ratings - but he should be concerned about the overseas ratings, not the ratings in China.
Wang Chen was a little confused as to why he was still in the country. However, since he was here, he should be treated as a guest of honor and could not be delayed at all.
"When can I meet this Li Yun?"
"Do you really have to see him?"
"It's not me who wants to see him. It's Russell Wilson who wants to see him. I'm just delivering a message for him."
Russell Wilson? The Russell from Marvel. At this moment, Wang Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
"This Li Yun has a weird temper and is not easy to get along with."
"Oh" Frey didn't care, he was just a messenger anyway.
“When will the Three-Body Problem be available?”
"Tonight at 7 o'clock, Brother Frey, you have read a lot of science fiction works. Do you want to see a work written by a kid who is trying to get subsidies?"
In Wang Chen's opinion, "The Three-Body Problem" is an "experimental" work. It would be fine if Li Yun filled it with the core of the small-scale stories that he is good at, but if he really wants to go for "hard science fiction", it will probably fail even more miserably than "Wesley".
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yes, Wesley is already a dead man in his eyes. The first episode just looks okay, which doesn't make much appeal to "Westworld". Moreover, it is a unit drama, so the ratings will fluctuate greatly. It even makes the audience feel bored when it is incoherent.
It's easy to lose the show.
This is the ending of a small-scale unit drama.
Although Wang Chen didn't know why Frey wanted to meet Li Yun, he still needed to do something for his partner, such as contacting Li Yun.
The person who is most familiar to Li Yun in Huaying is probably Xie Qingya. At this time, he came to Xie Qingya.
At this moment, her emotions were more stable than expected.
I heard that Xie Qingya also invested in "The Three-Body Problem"? Wang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but reveal an expression of victory instinctively.
"Mr. Xie, it's me. I want to trouble you with something."
"Oh? What's that?"
Wang Chen was sitting opposite Xie Qingya and said.
"Help me make an appointment with Li Yun."
"Why, do you want to fulfill your promise?" Xie Qingya teased.
Wang Chen ignored Xie Qingya's sarcasm.
"An important partner of our company is looking for him."
"You've taken the trouble to come in person to pass on the message. You're very loyal to your partner." Although Xie Qingya said this, she still helped to look for him. After all, in name, that Frey was Huaying's partner and Xie Qingya's 'guest', so he couldn't be neglected.
"snort"
Wang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.
He was looking carefully for something. Emotion.
People will expose their emotions when they are angry, and at this time Xie Qingya is one of the investors of "The Three-Body Problem".
I couldn't see any fear, panic or hesitation in her life, nor could I see any negative emotions.
Even though "Westworld" has now gained a huge advantage in public opinion and ratings, she still has no hesitation.
That's a kind of confidence.
A kind of self-confidence that makes people angry. It makes Wang Chen furious.
Xie Qingya, right? Just wait and see, you are just a grasshopper in autumn, and you will see the day when you fail.
What kind of expression would that be?
When the time comes, come to me with your face licked.
I won't wait any longer.
"It's finally your turn for The Three-Body Problem, prime time slot"
"Wesley" is a strong blockbuster at noon.
"The Three-Body Problem" is the prime time show at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Both are very strong schedules. "Wesley" is broadcast on CCTV-8, and "The Three-Body Problem" is broadcast on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
At this moment, Jiang Wen exclaimed that it was very exciting. His previous "Westworld" and "Wesley" had brought him the ultimate movie-watching experience.
One is a small-scale humanities and folk customs. It has some connection with science fiction, but it's just a stretch.
One is a science fiction story with a large scale, somewhere between soft and hard. Finally, it is the story of "The Three-Body Problem". At present, "The Three-Body Problem" has lost its first-mover advantage. As the last "super first-line" work to debut in this January schedule, it is also the last one that can compete.
What is his real strength?
What kind of results can be achieved.
All of these are things that people are looking forward to. Li Yun is also sitting in front of the TV watching his own Three-Body Problem which is about to be broadcast.
Memories suddenly began to blur and flicker.
This is my own unique movie-watching experience. When watching my own work, I immerse myself in it wholeheartedly.
Being immersed in this world, this kind of climax feeling is not comparable to any budget warrior. No matter how high your budget is, you can't be like me, who can "live" in this world and experience it in a panoramic, 5D way. This is also the reason why Li Yun is obsessed with and seriously shoots every work. This sounds like a symptom of a more serious illness, but Li Yun never gets tired of it. He is obsessed with this unique viewing experience.
Completely immerse yourself in a world.
Although you can't control his development, you can look at his journey from the beginning to the end from the most real perspective.
Whether it is life or death, birth or death.
You can watch and see.
arrive.
Li Yun's eyes closed and opened.
The body was bitingly cold, but there was also the initial warmth of the sun shining on it. The air had the unique smell of engine oil and rust from large equipment, but also the natural smell of the mountains.
arrive.
Three bodies.
At this time, Li Yun was in the Hong'an Base. In this scientific research institution built in the style of the 1980s, it stood on a towering mountain amidst the snow.
The researchers walking with their heads down were of all kinds.
At this moment, Li Yun was at this place, looking at everything around him, the radar, the mysterious equipment, the halo of the sun in the sky, and the red sun shining through. Here, Li Yun was watching the researcher from the Red Coast Base in front of him, Ye Wenjie, and she resolutely started some equipment.
Without any hesitation, without any confusion.
Or perhaps she has overcome her confusion, and now it is her rational sensory world that makes the answers and choices.
As Ye Wenjie pressed a certain device, the story of the Three-Body Problem officially began.
