This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 686

c686 “The Three-Body Problem” airs to rectify the name of science fiction

“happy New Year.”

Fang Xing received blessings from many people and also sent many blessings.

On the day before New Year’s Day, all major TV stations broadcast New Year’s Eve parties.

Just like last year, Fang Xing led the team to record the New Year’s Eve parties of six satellite TV stations for publicity purposes.

The difference is that last year it was to promote the movie, this year it is not only to promote the movie, but also to promote the TV series.

During Channel 6’s New Year’s Eve party, Donghai Satellite TV broadcast it live, while the others were recorded.

Therefore, this year, my family and I are spending time apart from each other.

Lu Xiang’er hugged Qian Qian and waved to her father on TV, entering the new year together.

“The Three-Body Problem” is scheduled to premiere on January 2.

Therefore, it will be broadcast on the second day of New Year’s Day.

At the same time, every household has begun to buy new year’s goods in preparation for the Spring Festival.

This year’s Spring Festival is relatively early, January 21st is New Year’s Eve.

This also means that the release date of “The Wandering Earth” is January 22.

After nearly a year of production, “The Wandering Earth” and “The Three-Body Problem” are about to meet the audience.

Both works are science fiction films and both belong to unpopular themes.

If it weren’t for Fang Xing’s name, it would be difficult to get the heat going.

Winner of the annual box office championship for two consecutive years, Fang Xing has developed a strong box office appeal.

Therefore, on Maoyan APP and Douya.com, there are many viewers who click “Want to Watch”.

However, “The Three-Body Problem” will start broadcasting after New Year’s Day and will be completed before the end of the year. This means that the broadcast performance of “The Three-Body Problem” will affect the box office of “The Wandering Earth”.

The reason is very simple. Both works are science fiction themes, both are produced by Ark Culture, and both are branded with Fang Xing’s name.

Even though the stories of the two works are different, the audience will definitely evaluate the two works together.

Moreover, the promotions of “Three-Body” and “The Wandering Earth” have always been bundled. As long as the audience sees “The Three-Body Problem”, they will definitely think of “The Wandering Earth”.

If the audience finds “The Three-Body Problem” unsightly after it is broadcast and the broadcast results are not good, it will inevitably cause the audience to lose confidence in “The Wandering Earth” and ultimately affect the box office.

For this reason.

Penguin Pictures, Wandou Video, Feifan Entertainment and other companies that invested in “The Wandering Earth” have discussed with Fang Xing and hope that “The Three-Body Problem” can be broadcast after the year.

In this case, the broadcast performance of “The Three-Body Problem” will not affect “The Wandering Earth”.

However, in the end, Fang Xing made the final decision and decided to let “The Three-Body Problem” air before the year.

“The Three-Body Problem” is broadcast first, and there are indeed risks.

But risk and reward are inseparable.

With high risk, comes high reward.

Of course, if you screw it up, you really screw it up.

The poor broadcast performance of “The Three-Body Problem” will indeed affect the box office of “The Wandering Earth”.

But on the other hand, if the broadcast performance of “The Three-Body Problem” is good and the audience has confidence in the science fiction theme produced by Ark Culture, it will also increase the box office of “The Wandering Earth”.

Therefore, the final schedule of “Three-Body Problem” was finalized on January 2.

All the staff involved in the production of “The Three-Body Problem” and “The Wandering Earth” are nervously waiting for this day.

…

New Year’s Day.

Fang Xing took a rare break and took his family out for a fun trip.

Qian Qian was extremely happy.

Because during this period, Fang Xing had to promote two works, so he left early and came back late every day.

One time Qianqian asked in a sweet voice on the phone: “Why does Dad have to go to work? Can’t he play with Qianqian at home?”

Qian Qian is four years old, has gradually become sensible, and slowly begins to accept the reality that her father has to go to work.

However, Fang Xing is only busy when he is filming and promoting.

When there are no projects, I actually have quite a lot of free time. I can stay at home and play wildly with my daughter every day.

…

January 2nd at 8pm.

It’s finally time for “The Three-Body Problem” to be aired. Wandou Video has launched a live broadcast event at the same time, and VIP discounts are available.

When “Three-Body” aired, it directly entered the plot of a scientist’s suicide, setting off one suspense after another.

After watching this part of the plot, the audience originally thought it was a science fiction film, but turned out to be a suspense film, but at the same time it was indeed a science fiction film.

The audience’s interest in watching the drama was aroused by each suspense.

Why do scientists commit suicide?

Why does the male protagonist “Wang Miao” see strange numbers?

Why does “Shen Yufei” make the universe shine?

By what means does the cosmic background radiation flicker?

This series of suspense makes audiences who like science fiction movies unable to stop watching.

In the “Three-Body” TV series, there are no aliens or interstellar wars right from the start.

Rather, it tells the story of human society and reveals the mystery bit by bit.

On the first day of broadcast, two episodes are free, and VIPs can watch four more episodes, which is equivalent to six episodes updated on the first day.

The six episodes were full of suspense. After watching it, the audience couldn’t stand it anymore and felt that following the series was too painful.

Many topics discussing “The Three-Body Problem” began to appear on the Internet:

[After reading it in one go, I felt that the plot was relatively tame, but the story was told so eloquently that once people watched it, they couldn’t stop. 】

[The show is quite good, but there is one uncomfortable point. It only updates two episodes a day. Who can watch it? 】

[If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to read it. I would have waited until it was almost finished and it would have been more enjoyable to read it all in one go. 】

[It’s so uncomfortable. I’m stuck on a key plot point and have to wait a day to watch the next episode. 】

[It’s New Year’s Day holiday and it’s rare to have time to watch dramas. Can’t you just release a few more episodes at once? 】

[Didn’t anyone discuss the plot? 】

[What does flickering of cosmic background radiation mean? 】

[It should be explained very clearly in the play. If you still don’t understand, then I’ll tell you, I don’t understand either. 】

[If you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. It doesn’t stop me from knowing that this thing is awesome. 】

[As for the cosmic background radiation, the astronomy consultant hired by “Three Body” has recorded a video explanation, which can be found online. 】

[I’m not here to take a professional astronomy course. All I need to know is that the universe is twinkling very powerfully. No need to think about it, it must be the fault of aliens. 】

[It seems like there are aliens behind Shen Yufei, right? 】

[Why do scientists commit suicide? 】

[Personally, I think science is actually a kind of belief. If one day a scientist discovers that what he has studied all his life does not actually exist and is false, and his faith collapses, I might commit suicide. 】

…

The plot of “The Three-Body Problem” has been suspenseful since it started airing.

When the tenth episode aired, Ye Wenjie began to tell the past events of Hong’an Base.

The actor who plays the young Ye Wenjie is very beautiful, and her whip-tying look exudes a strong atmosphere of the times, which immediately takes the audience back to that era.

The story of Hong’an Base is the real beginning of the story of “Three-Body”.

Ye Wenjie encountered a lot of hardships when she was young.

Her mother and sister reported her father, which led to his death, and she was also asked by the leader to write reporting materials.

She was unwilling to write and was persecuted.

After suffering a series of betrayals and persecutions, he was finally taken to the Hong’an Base by his future husband “Yang Weining” and began research work.

The Red Bank Base is a place for studying extraterrestrial civilizations. The machines in the base may receive signals sent by extraterrestrial civilizations.

One night, Ye Wenjie was working the night shift alone, and the receiving machine received a signal from an alien civilization.

This signal is compiled to mean: “Don’t reply.”

However, Ye Wenjie experienced too much betrayal and persecution. While working at Hong’an Base, her thesis results were misappropriated by her superiors many times.

She was completely disappointed with human beings, and finally pressed the send message button and replied to the message from the extraterrestrial civilization.

It’s also because of this incident.

The location of human civilization was discovered by the Trisolaran civilization.

The distance between the two civilizations is 4.2 light years. This distance is the distance that the Trisolaran civilization can span in hundreds of years.

The star system where the Trisolaran civilization lives is a three-star system with no operating rules and the civilization may be destroyed at any time.

The star system of the Trisolaran civilization is a hell. Relatively speaking, the solar system where humans live is like a paradise.

Therefore, the Trisolaran civilization wants to occupy the solar system as its new home.

This is where the story begins.

The Trisolaran civilization wants to occupy the solar system, but the two civilizations are 4.2 light years apart.

Flying at the speed of light, it would also take 4.2 years to arrive.

However, the Trisolaran civilization does not have the ability to fly at the speed of light, so it will take hundreds of years to fly from Trisolaran to the solar system.

The story of “The Three-Body Problem” is about what happened in human society over the past few hundred years.

The whole story has great intentions.

In the TV series, the three-body game played by the male protagonists Wang Miao and Shi Qiang actually introduces the living environment of the three-body people through the game.

Due to the irregular operation of the Trisolaris system, the three stars are sometimes very far away from Trisolaris, so far away that they are difficult to see with the naked eye.

At this time, the climate of Trisolaris was very cold, and living things could not survive at all.

Sometimes, the three stars will be very close to Trisolaris, so close that they can ignite Trisolaris and make it impossible to survive.

In this harsh environment, Trisolarans have evolved the function of dehydration. Whenever the environment is harsh, Trisolarans will dehydrate and turn into fiber. When the right climate appears, they can then soak to restore their bodies.

The Trisolaran civilization also wants to seize the home of mankind because its living environment is too harsh.

…

As the plot of “The Three-Body Problem” unfolds, the audience likes it more and more.

Red Bank Base, Trisolaran Civilization, Science Frontier, Adventist, and Salvationist are slowly presented, using works to tell the audience what science fiction is.

Science fiction is not about superheroes fighting monsters, but fantasy stories based on scientific theories.

Especially science fiction fans, they are gradually conquered by the story of “The Three-Body Problem”.

At first, many viewers who liked science fiction themes started to correct the name of this drama on the Internet:

[Who said there is no science fiction in domestic dramas? “The Three-Body Problem” is the best science fiction drama I have ever watched. 】

[“The Three-Body Problem” is indeed good-looking and great, but please don’t praise it. 】

[Awesome, “The Three-Body Problem” is so good-looking, I’m looking forward to “The Wandering Earth”. 】

[Me too, I didn’t have much confidence in “The Wandering Earth” at first. After all, there haven’t been any decent science fiction films in China, but “The Three-Body Problem” was really successful. “The Wandering Earth” was filmed by Fang Xing himself, so it shouldn’t be too bad, right? 】

[I found a blind spot. In the second trailer of “The Wandering Earth”, it was mentioned that humans are pushing the earth to fly out of the solar system, and the star system they are going to is Alpha Centauri. Isn’t this the location of the three-body star in “The Three-Body Problem”? 】

【Fuck! If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know, “The Wandering Earth” is going to fly to Trisolaris? 】

【I go! This is embarrassing. Trisolaris has become a hell. Why do humans still go to Trisolaris? 】

【Stop! The two stories are independent. 】

【Actually. Alpha Centauri is Proxima Centauri. Many science fiction novels will write about this star system because it is the closest star to the sun. So when science fiction writers think of other stars, they must first think of Alpha Centauri. 】

【I do not care. Anyway, in “The Three-Body Problem”, the three-body people are coming to attack the earth. In “The Wandering Earth”, we are going to send the Earth over and beat them! 】

【Everyone is a switcher of tactics, right? 】

[Yes, exchange stars with the Trisolarans. 】

This topic has caused many discussions among netizens, but most of them are joking.

Originally both works were fictional, so naturally no one would really take them seriously.

It’s just that it’s interesting for everyone to talk about it.

As “The Three-Body Problem” becomes more and more popular, Douya.com’s score also shows it, with an score of 8.7.

Another TV series that is close to 9 points.

For a TV series, a score of 8.7 is already close to the ceiling. It is not too much to say that it is a quasi-divine drama.

Moreover, this is a science fiction TV series with an unpopular theme. It has exceeded everyone’s expectations to achieve this rating.

Originally, netizens’ expectations for “The Three-Body Problem” were that it would be a success if it could get a passing grade and not look ugly.

After all, it is an unpopular subject. Before “The Three-Body Problem”, there were almost no successful science fiction TV series.

That is to say.

The success of “The Three-Body Problem” is equivalent to opening the door to Chinese science fiction TV series.

The viewing volume of “The Three-Body Problem” has also soared, with an average of over 100 million views per episode, making it the hottest TV series at the beginning of the new year.

Moreover, this is not a drama with low gold content like Guwu.

Generally speaking, as long as the filming of ancient puppets is not too bad, the number of broadcasts will be very high, and it is easy to become popular as the lead actor.

But in fact, ancient puppets cannot reflect the acting skills of actors, nor the ability of directors.

The awards awarded at the three major TV drama award ceremonies are the best evidence. Very few ancient idols can win awards.

Therefore, “The Three-Body Problem” can obtain such a high number of views and ratings, and its gold content is very high.

Also because of the success of “The Three-Body Problem”, the audience is looking forward to “The Wandering Earth” more and more.

The number of people who want to watch “The Wandering Earth” on Douya.com has also soared from 300,000 to 500,000.

It is foreseeable that the popularity of “The Three-Body Problem” will bring a lot of box office revenue to “The Wandering Earth”.

Originally, Penguin Pictures and other investors of “The Wandering Earth” were worried that the poor broadcast performance of “The Three-Body Problem” would affect the box office of “The Wandering Earth”.

Now, “The Three-Body Problem” has played a positive role.

This also indirectly made Zhang Changfeng’s fight with theaters for film arrangement smoother, and he steadily obtained 28% of the film openings.

The time is getting closer to the Spring Festival.

On New Year’s Eve, after Fang Xing finished his last road show, he announced that he would officially take a holiday after the premiere press conference of “The Wandering Earth”.

Then all employees were given big red envelopes, and everyone went home happily to celebrate the New Year.
