A "Wandering Earth" opened the door to science fiction in China, although there is still a gap between this film and world-class film special effects in terms of special effects production, the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" does make Chinese audiences have a new vision of domestic science fiction.
The most surprising thing is that the science fiction elements have not only caught fire in the field of movies, but also made new progress in TV series. According to the latest news, the TV series "Three-Body Problem" has officially entered the 2022 Goose Factory drama list, and if there is no accident, this drama is also expected to meet the potential dark horse of the audience in this summer.
It is worth mentioning that the original work of the same name of the TV series "Three-Body Problem" is Liu Cixin's most outstanding novel masterpiece, and the original work of the movie "The Wandering Earth" is also from Liu Cixin's hand.
It is reported that on June 21, "Three-Body" officially released the latest trailer, and from the trailer alone, this drama has released a charm that the audience cannot refuse in terms of plot content, production texture and cast.
Creepy brain holes that take you on an exploration of alien civilizations
Have you ever thought that the physics and mathematics we are learning now are based on the truths discovered by human beings? Mathematicians tell us that the decimal point of Pi is followed by an endless number, but even so, mathematicians are still happy to calculate.
In 2021, the American Fun Science website reported that it announced that the decimal point of pi had been updated to 62.8 trillion. And the reason why we have been calculating is to prove that Pi is an irrational number. If one day it is really exhausted, then the mathematical system we have built for a long time will have to be modified on a large scale.
The book "Three-Body Problem" is through such a conjecture, subverting the reader's cognition and taking the audience into a world that dare not be imagined. In this world, truth is no longer truth, and the laws we have been groping for for so long have become coincidences. He could deprive physicists of the momentum to move forward and bring human civilization to a complete halt.
In terms of plot, "Three-Body" tells the story of the protagonist group discovering an alien civilization and dissecting why aliens invaded Earth and how humans should respond. Needless to say, "The Three-Body Problem" embodies a high-level, high-level imagination.
The web drama "Three-Body Problem" is the foundation of this series and the most important cornerstone of the subsequent high-energy plot. What is surprising is that although "Three-Body Problem" is only a network drama, the texture presented in the trailer has allowed the audience to see the real money.
In the trailer, we can see many famous scenes in the original content, two-dimensional Zhizi, the huge pendulum clock of the three-body, and at the beginning of the latest trailer, we see the fable of "turkey". As the fable unfolds, alien civilizations slowly surface, "all humans are a flock of turkeys on the farm", and the end of mankind has finally begun.
In terms of special effects, "Three-Body" as a web drama is certainly not at the level of a cinema, but the restoration of famous scenes in the trailer has achieved the level of impacting the audience's senses.
In addition to the creepy plot of the original, the lineup of "Three-Body" is also worth looking forward to.
Yu Hewei came with a group of stars, and the cast was absolute
In the past two years, Yu Hewei's presence on the screen has been quite high. Especially after "The Age of Awakening", his acting strength and personal charm are very strong. And the character Shi Qiang he created in "The Three-Body Problem" is destined to be a highlight of this drama.
In the original work, Shi Qiang is a slightly vulgar policeman, he is keen and decisive, but he does not have a detailed understanding of science and the universe. But his presence actually gives many desperate scientists more spiritual and religious support, including one of the protagonists, Wang Miao.
From the appearance alone, Yu Hewei and the five major and three thick, the suitability of the role with high force value is not very high. But his grounded acting skills in the trailer really convinced the audience, especially when he lit a cigarette, there was really a sense of primitive vitality of the world, making the audience feel that the role itself was very reliable.
As for Wang Miao, played by Zhang Luyi, not to mention, he is a very famous physics professor, and the beginning of the original book is to use Wang Miao's perspective to introduce the protagonist in the story. In terms of character style, Zhang Luyi is similar to Wang Miao in the reader's imagination, he is somewhat dull and even boring, has a pair of eyes that find beauty, but has the emotional intelligence of a straight man in science and engineering.
More importantly, the audience is more recognized for Zhang Luyi's acting skills. Even in "Great Qin Fu", Zhang Luyi's state has been complained about, but in terms of strength, Zhang Luyi has the ability to control the role, and in the "Three-Body" trailer, it is also full of mystery that makes the audience curious.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Luyi, in the lineup led by Yu Hewei, there are also many familiar faces of the audience. For example, Li Xiaoran, Wang Chuanjun, Wang Ziwen, Lin Yongjian and so on.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning, the author was more worried about Wang Ziwen, after all, her previous film and television drama routes were emotional themes with a strong sense of fashion. But I didn't expect that in the trailer, she completely conquered the author with a tear.
In the plot, Ye Wenjie, played by her, has extraordinary achievements in the field of astrophysics, she is the initiator of the introduction of the Trisolaran to the earth, and can also be said to be the basis of the plot content of "The Three-Body Problem".
In terms of character, she has been tormented by human nature, she has seen the greed of human beings, and once fell into a deep spiritual crisis, and all this is her self-demand. On the one hand, she wants to rely on extraterrestrial power to make the earth better, and on the other hand, she is deeply criticized by her self-morality and can't live in fear.
Wang Ziwen plays Ye Wenjie's youth, and the complexity of this role is far more than any role she has played before, but in the "Three-Body" trailer, her innocent and complex tears really make people clap their hands.
Overall, the cast of "The Three-Body Problem" is wonderful everywhere, and the cooperation of these treasure actors will definitely present the role to the audience completely.
It's just worrying that the worldview of "Three-Body" is too big, even if this web series only presents the content of the first part of the series of novels, the author still finds it difficult to clearly show the character relationships and background story lines on the screen. In this regard, it mainly depends on how the screenwriter adapts and how the plot advances.
To put it simply, if "The Three-Body Problem" wants to be as shocking as a novel, it needs the joint efforts of the screenwriter and the post-production, and this "post-production" is not a simple special effects production, but the fluency of the story connection and the rhythm of the plot advancement.
As an audience, the author also hopes that science fiction fans can give this web drama a chance, after all, the various information revealed by this drama at present shows the advantages of the work.
