Last night, the members of the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" ended. If the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" marks the birth of the "first year of science fiction" of Chinese films, then the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" officially knocked on the door of the Chinese TV series "first year of science fiction".
Whether it is the restoration and expansion of the original sci-fi story, or the shaping of the main characters such as Wang Miao (played by Zhang Luyi), Shi Qiang (played by Yu Hewei), Ye Wenjie (played by Chen Jin, played by Wang Ziwen) and other characters, the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" has done a good job.
A few days ago, Tencent Video announced the filming plans for "The Three-Body Problem: The Great History" and "The Three-Body Problem II: Dark Forest". How will the director tell the ins and outs of the great history? Who will be chosen to play Luo Ji, the sword bearer who has been guarding the earth for 62 years? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but repaint the TV series "Three-Body Problem".
01
The adaptation of the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" is successful, whether it is the treacherous and terrifying ghost countdown in the early stage, the shocking three-body game, or the guzheng plan to destroy the decay in the later stage, or Shi Qiang's passionate phrase "bugs have never been truly defeated", all of which make me satisfied and enjoyable.
The "three-body game" full of technology content is one of the difficulties in presenting the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". How the director restored the grand scenes in the book, such as "dehydration and immersion of the three-body people", "human column computer" and "three-day volley", which made the original fans worried.
In the seventh episode, the "Three-Body Game" was officially launched, and the audience really saw the game world full of details. Some viewers commented: "In the past, when I watched the show, I wanted to skip the game scene as soon as I saw it, but this time I want to put the speed to 0.75 times and savor the details and foreshadowing of each game." ”
Among them, the restoration of "Newton and von Neumann to create a human computer" in the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" impressed me the most. The huge computer array composed of human sea tactics operated in an orderly manner under the unified command of Qin Shi Huang, "under strict discipline, a large number of people can also produce great wisdom after being combined into a whole." ”
Because mathematical models ignored the gravitational vibrations of stars, Newton and von Neumann's calculations did not predict a three-day row. In weightlessness after the gravitational superposition of the three stars, civilization was once again destroyed.
This scene is shocking, tragic, and surprising. After repeated rebrushing, it can be found that the actor who played Qin Shi Huang is the "black blind" Ji Chen in "Sand Sea", the actor of Qin Chuanling is the famous producer Ma Dong, and Qin Taishiguan is played by online writer Tang Jiasanshao.

The fun of finding familiar faces in the "three-body game", isn't it coming?
02
Since you can find acquaintances in the scene of "Human Column Computer", does it mean that there will be many acquaintances in other bridges?
Looking carefully at the list of actors, it turns out that the scene of "Three-Body Game" also invited directors Guo Jingyu , Fei Zhenxiang, producers Hou Hongliang, Bai Yiqing, Cai Jia, well-known screenwriter Liang Zhenhua, well-known writer Jiang Nan, well-known actor Gao Yalin and other big coffee. Yang Lei, the general director of this play, also made a cameo role in the play.
This makes watching the drama have more fun opening the blind box, and although the series has ended, I can't help but re-watch the "three-body game" and match the big coffee in the list with the characters in the game world.
In the passage where King Zhou Wenwang advises the king, King Zhou Wenwang is played by actor and director Han Qing, who is the actor of the warm man "cat dad" Jin Zhiming in the TV series "Little Parting". Fuxi, who vainly tries to hypnotize the sun god with a single pendulum, is a well-known writer Jiangnan, but unfortunately he does not have many scenes, and he was pushed into the burning of the big ding as soon as he appeared. The indifferent, cold, and solemn king who said the three words "with literary fire" is the famous director Guo Jingyu. And Daji, who is next to King Jun, is Cai Jia, one of the producers of this play.

In the passage where Mozi uses mechanical instruments to deduce the operation law of the three-body world, the same big coffee gathers. Yu Yang, who plays Mozi, is a well-known actor. Mozi's recorder is played by Liang Zhenhua, a professor at Beijing Normal University and a well-known film and television screenwriter.

Confucius, who wanted to use the cosmic ritual system to regulate the sun and was frozen into icicles, is played by Hou Hongliang, chairman of Noon Sun. And the messenger who sacrificed in the flames of the flames, although he just appeared on the line, his role is not simple, and he is cameoed by treasure director Fei Zhenxiang.
In the bridge section that traces the history of the Great Torn, the producer of the play, Bai Yiqing, and director Yang Lei, also showed their faces, playing the role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the mysterious man who revealed the secret trimaran fleet, respectively.

Being able to concentrate so many big names in the film and television industry shows that the industry's attention to the TV series "Three-Body Problem" can also feel the strong appeal of epic IP. No wonder netizens ridiculed: "Can gather so many people, "The Three-Body Problem" is not the Chinese version of "Harry Potter"? ”
03
In the "Three-Body Game", the characters played by the big coffees are also very close to the character settings.
Director Guo Jingyu's face shape is square, his facial features are straight, plus he has been engaged in the directing profession for many years, and he has his own ability to control the field and the aura of not being angry and self-threatening, coupled with the shape of the beard, which is very consistent with the temperament required by King Jun.

The producer Hou Hongliang is a humble gentleman's appearance, with a calm temperament, gentle and courteous. Although he played Confucius, he did not have many scenes, but he was elegant and elegant, humble and idealistic. Similar to this is the Mozi recorder played by Liang Zhenhua, the actor's own bookish atmosphere and sense of etiquette add a lot to the role.

And Ji Chen, who played Qin Shi Huang, said a few condescending lines such as "soldiers need to use professional orders to command" and "go down", and did actions such as sitting crooked against the handrail and swinging the sword in slow motion, which interpreted Qin Shi Huang's arrogance and deterrence.

It can be seen that the TV series "Three-Body Problem" has spent a lot of thought on casting. If it is only to create a gimmick, it will not achieve the current effect.

"The Three-Body Problem" is a world-class science fiction novel, and the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" established the "first year of science fiction drama".
As the producer of this play, Bai Yiqian not only worked hard to drive the creation and production, but also brought his "circle of friends" into the work in a special way.
Guo Jingyu, Liang Zhenhua and Bai Yiqian were the main leaders of the two previous and previous sessions of the Youth Work Committee, and Hu Jie was the secretary general of the Youth Work Committee. Their collective participation in the performance also testifies to the unity of the team.

Jiang Nan and Tang Jiasan are writers, Han Qing and Gao Yalin are also actors and directors, Hou Hongliang is a heavyweight producer in the drama industry, and Ma Dong is a heavyweight producer in the field of variety shows... It shows the communicative radiation of "Internet drama brother" Bai Yiqing.

In fact, such participation is not complicated. The big guys came to the scene to do the modeling, scan the mo-capture data, and leave the rest to the engineers. This is the convenience of "game playing".
Back to "The Three-Body Problem", for such a landmark sci-fi work, no one wants to miss it. This is the industry's love and support for "The Three-Body Problem", and it is also the yearning and call for the spring of science fiction.
