The most anticipated super drama of the opening year has finally moved!
The drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" has finally been officially announced and will be broadcast on Tencent Video on January 15.
The animated version of "The Three-Body Problem" next door, the score has gone all the way down, and the bad reviews have risen again and again, like a "beautiful burial".
As for Tencent's drama version of "The Three-Body Problem", the two versions of the trailer are like two doses of reassuring medicine, which looks worth looking forward to.
The excellent works of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy "Once Upon a Time on Earth", "Dark Forest" and "Death Eternal" needless to say, all crossroads and water web novels have been sought after as big IP, film and television have won a lot, but the heavy "Three-Body Problem" has not met the audience.
It's simple, it's too hard.
Such magnificent content, it is too difficult to land.
Just the visual effects of the three-body game, every frame is unimaginably expensive.
The point is that it is not "burning money" to burn a high-score answer sheet.
"The Three-Body Problem" is famous and readers' expectations are too high, the sci-fi film industry chain is still underdeveloped, and the film and television industry has often been in a difficult situation in recent years, and every layer of factors is even worse.
But judging from the current cast list and trailer, "The Three-Body Problem" has some surprises, even higher than expected.
First, cross-dimensional and cross-dimensional restoration, hardcover famous scenes are broadcast
Zhang Luyi plays Wang Miao, his resume background and full of Facebook volume, playing a scientist could not be more suitable.
In just a few minutes of content, you can clearly see the character texture presented by Zhang Luyi and Yu Hewei, Wang Miao Sven is showing, making a difference under extreme pressure, and the "oil" outside the history can carry things.
Every text and one martial arts, every quiet and one movement, all of them are all right.
The young and elderly version of Ye Wenjie is also excellent (this paragraph is carefully described below).
What can you see in a few minutes of trailer?
Atmosphere, tone, texture.
The famous "turkey scientist" scene appeared in the trailer, the absurdity and intuitiveness of the story, the pain and powerlessness on the back, and the desolation and pathos of fate, all in it.
Copying the famous scene, one-to-one restoration, does it mean that it must be excellent?
In fact, there is no so-called "copying" in film and television dramas.
The text on the paper, the picture and sound effects on the screen, the carrier is already different, how to talk about one to one?
The so-called "copying" is at best a rigid transplant, and the trailer of "The Three-Body Problem" shows respect, understanding and accurate expression of the original work everywhere.
Being able to see the restoration of texture to taste across dimensions and "dimensions", the effort and hard work behind it is not at all covered by a single "one-to-one reduction".
Every famous scene is bound to consume a lot of energy.
To deeply understand the essence of the novel, we must not lose all kinds of raw edges of the story.
To successfully bring together a team with online audiovisual language aesthetic ability and execution, it is also necessary to integrate all content into an organic whole.
It is necessary to present the famous words and sentences in the novel with high fidelity and high fidelity, and it is also necessary to have a texture that meets the "three-body" of different readers and them.
It's too hard, but The Three-Body Problem seems to do it.
As soon as the trailer came out, everyone praised it.
The home page is full of anticipation for "The Three-Body Problem".
You see, "don't answer, don't answer, don't answer", "this is the sunset of mankind", "eliminate human tyranny, the world belongs to the three-body problem" and other famous scenes all appeared.
The two versions of the trailer are like a hardcover famous scene, four or two pounds, prying up the core piece of the three-body universe, making people look forward to it.
Second, the "three-body" furnace: the magnificence of illusion, the pain of truth
Why is "The Three-Body Problem" attractive?
This trailer of more than 3 minutes may be able to get a glimpse.
1. Strong drama of genre films
The trailer features a countdown, "The universe will flash for you," Evans roaring desperately on an oily mudflat as a child, and a capsizing of the cruise ship Judgment Day on the Panama Canal about to become a thin slice.
From the perspective of genre film suspense, tension, and excitement, the trailer is undoubtedly very successful.
Why does Wang Miao always see the ghost countdown?
Why is there such a grand and strange event as "the universe flashes for you"?
Sentence by sentence, one by one, it is a hook that raises suspense and makes people nervous.
Even after reading the novel, in front of the tense and high-energy audiovisual language, it is still like entering a new three-body universe.
Tense and good-looking.
Traveling through multiple eras in one breath, breaking the limitations of time, space and historical geography vertical and horizontal line narration, the three-body game in the play "The Three-Body Problem" is too expressive.
2. Good looks that break through the limitations of time and space
When I read the novel "The Three-Body Problem", the first part that surprised me the most was the three-body game.
People are dehydrated for storage.
There will be a rare sight (catastrophe) in the sky where three suns exist at the same time.
Wang Miao watched the machinery with Qin Shihuang and Mozi on the front foot, and worked with Newton and Einstein on the back foot with Copernicus' ID, and by the way, he also spit on a handful of Leibniz in Newton's name (ah, what is the inexplicable cute math historical meme).
Such wild imagination, the magnificence of illusion, the mystery of illusion, the wonder of illusion, it is difficult to exist in the real non-fiction dimension.
With the name of science fiction "fantasy" as the backing, it is possible to unleash such a strange and unusual imagination.
In the trailer, Wang Miao stands in front of a magnificent but eerie huge building, the coffin flutters in the air, and the flames burn.
Externally, the magnificent wings of imagination allow stories to span thousands of miles and bring unique sensory experiences;
Internally, the creepy sense of reality makes the story draw people and bones and draw tigers and ghosts, bringing people trembling soul earthquakes.
Postmodern and ancient.
Fictional, and real.
It's like a cruel nightmare and an allegory of compassion.
3. A tragic sense of strength
In the trailer, Wang Miao lowered her head and whispered, "My eyes are not floaters, but there is a countdown in front of my eyes all the time."
And hysteria "what the hell is the end of the countdown."
People are placed in such a desperate situation, and the strong will to survive, tenacious and tragic texture surging under Sven's appearance are very distinct.
On the other side, Da Shi shouted, "The more they make you afraid of something, the more you can't let them get their wish."
If the three-body universe game reflects the cold and cruel side, then Wang Miao, Da Shi and even Luo Ji in the follow-up "Dark Forest" show the tragic "ants still want to fight" Hongyi courage.
This is the power to peel back the magnificent and terrible wrinkles of the story, the most core kind of power.
Although the trailer is short, whether it is Wang Miao or Dashi, it obviously shows this sense of power that can back the water.
Compassion, magnificent, grand, desolate.
And the starting point of this grand narrative is an extremely subtle everyday kick, setting off boundless wind and waves from a corner, watching warriors fight the universe in flames, and yearning for it.
Third, the wind and snow mountain forest road, the past has been white-headed
1. The past is embarrassing texture
Ye Wenjie in the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem", the younger version and the older version are Wang Ziwen and Chen Jin respectively.
As soon as you look at the trailer, you can understand why them.
Of course it should be them.
The elderly version has the cruelty, unmoving killing decision under the wind and frost, the past is not like smoke, and the grudge is muddy and difficult to distinguish;
The youth version slipped with tears and the tragedy was moving.
A shot has a large enough amount of information and a strong enough emotional impact.
For example, Ye Wenjie got off the plane in the wind and rain and saw the huge launcher on the radar ridge.
The insignificance of people, the cold of the environment, the difficulty of the situation.
The infinite loneliness of the heart, the bitter coldness of fate.
It all hurts.
Another example is another scene, where people walk in the vast snowfield.
Deep forest, snow, lonely people.
The picture is blank.
It is the intuitive impact of the picture, and it is also a direct externalization of the mental journey of pain, anger, despair, and expectation in loneliness.
The outer scene and the inner thought become one.
The chill hit my heart.
The trailer appears in both the youth version and the elderly version of Ye Wenjie, and the sense of desolation across time is very intuitive: she has been repeatedly delayed by time.
At this point, I suddenly understood that the ancient Greek view of tragedy "hell" is not a sudden explosion, but an endless cycle, such as Tantarus, leaning over to drink water will flow away, leaning over to pick fruit branches will rise.
Always only an inch away, forever in the boundless sea of suffering, never able to ask for it.
2. The tragedy of the cycle of grudges
Ye Wenjie sent a message of "betrayal of mankind" in that silent moment, and the long starting point was full of desperate hatred.
Ye Wenjie's father was beaten to death in public.
Ye Wenjie's mother and sister, one tends to be inflamed, scrupulous and seeks glory to survive, a naïve and enthusiastic, misunderstanding and betraying relatives is absolutely righteous and exterminating, the former is old and the latter is immature, the former is bad and the latter is tragic, both chose to betray her father.
Disheartened, desperate like the sea.
Ye Wenjie's accumulated such a deep coldness for human nature would activate the link of destruction.
The differences between the follow-up adventists, the salvation factions, and the survivors are another matter, and whether the tragic past can be a defense of "their pitiful" is also another matter, and the tragedy of Ye Wenjie in "The Three-Body Problem" is very penetrating, because this is not a random evil without any roots and no cause, this is hatred breeds hatred, tragedy replicates tragedy.
The cycle of grudges quickly spirals out of control and is terrifying.
Like a bowl of blood-colored soup, a knife pierces into the deepest part of human despair.
With the coldness of blood, the hotness of hatred, the cruelty of survival, and the bleakness of death, the imagination is like flowing clouds, the streamers are overflowing, and the awakening effect of mapping perspective is like Huang Zhong Da Lu, and the sound is deafening.
epilogue
When the small broken ball was filmed, it was even more difficult, and after several twists and turns, it finally came out in the 2019 Spring Festival and successfully opened the first year of sci-fi for domestic films.
And in the world of TV dramas, this landmark glorious seat seems to have been vacant.
Will "The Three-Body Problem", also adapted from Liu Cixin's work, be the reigning king of thorns?
Looking forward to the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" and opening the glorious first year of domestic science fiction dramas.
