Die on Mars - Chapter 241

c-1 Regarding the “Three-Body” animation, just a few random words

The author has turned out the “Three-Body” animated short film and watched it several times today – what has been released so far is only a concept PV, not an official trailer.

As we all know, the copyright ownership of “Three-Body” is a mess – at least in the eyes of outsiders, but the news released on the 10th anniversary of Station B shows that this problem has been solved, or partially solved. , this is a good thing, the first step has finally been taken.

The animation company “The Three-Body Problem” is produced by Yihua Kaitian, which is the animation company that has produced “Crazy Heroes”, “Mirror Nodelin” and “Spirit Cage”. Among them, “Spirit Cage” has not yet been officially launched, but The trailer has already been released on station B. It is a post-apocalyptic doomsday theme. I personally think it can represent the highest level of domestic 3D animation production.

Liu himself expressed at the 10th anniversary celebration of Station B that he hopes to see scenes that “can make the original author take a breath of cold air.” To be honest, this expectation is very scary. The grand perspective and detachment of the “Three Body” pattern are unprecedented in the history of world science fiction. It is rare – this is not a boast, of course you can copy a work as high as “2001: A Space Odyssey”, but only if you can watch it yourself.

(In recent years, due to the popularity of “The Three-Body Problem”, a considerable number of outsiders have also become aware of this work. This may be the only science fiction novel they have read, so they have failed a lot when talking about the Three-Body Problem in science fiction. Passers-by have a good impression.)

One of the most shocking scenes I have ever seen in science fiction works, the confrontation between the entire human fleet and the water droplets – was born in Liu’s mind. Faced with such an original author whose height and breadth of thinking are difficult to match. , what should the animation company do to make him take a breath of cold air?

Converting text into pictures is far from as simple as adapting it word for word. Having an original work does not mean it is easy to make. Animating novels into movies and TV shows is a secondary creation, and sometimes it is no less difficult than original work – precisely. On the contrary, because “The Three-Body Problem” has multiple narrative lines, a grand layout, and a lot of white space, it is a work that is difficult to adapt. Coupled with its extremely high popularity and popularity, the animation company took on a seemingly tempting but actually hot potato. The pressure is great. If you do it well, you will naturally become a god. If you do it wrong, you may be criticized by thousands of people.

I am definitely not the only one who has this kind of worry. As the number one science fiction IP in China, the subsequent development of “The Three-Body Problem” will directly affect the development of the domestic science fiction market. Science fiction films are the king of genre films. They are very popular abroad and are very lively domestically. But thousands of horses are silent. The Chinese people should not be missing in the imagination of the future. The five thousand years of ideological heritage of the Chinese nation are combined with the stars and the sea. Who knows what kind of sparks can burst out and what kind of fruits can be born?

Domestic science fiction is in the ascendant, and the market potential is difficult to estimate. Someone needs to light a fire to let the world see their light. But to ignite this fire, just one “The Wandering Earth” is not enough, more and better are needed. s work.

The main creative team of Kanyihua Kaitian seems to be full of confidence and morale, and they are confident that they can eat this first crab. I can only wish them well and hope that they can come up with good enough works to take this step steadily. Step out steadily. As pioneers, every step they take is of great significance to those who follow.

One day, I hope to see Zhang Beihai pushing the engine on the big screen and saying to the future of mankind: Natural selection, forward four!
