"The Wandering Earth 2" made Liu Cixin shine again.
Sitting in front of the big screen of IMAX, I have always wanted to find clues laid by the crew, and to discover Liu Cixin's handwriting and marks.
I met Liu Cixin 7 years ago. At that time, I was a fanatical Three-Body Problem fan. I wanted to shake hands with anyone and wanted to use the joint code of the Earth Three-Body Organization: Eliminate human tyranny, and the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem.
With the spread of his novels, his ideological stamp is silently engraved in the hearts of readers, and every three-body fan is quietly changing.
We watched the launch of the dark matter satellite Wukong together in Jiuquan.
At that time, there was a thunderbolt, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the early morning wind seemed to be able to blow people past the cordon and send them into the blazing flames.
Many people screamed in fear and kept backing away.
Liu Cixin crossed his long legs and let the desert wind blow the cotton-padded clothes.
Are you not afraid?
He was silent for a long time, and replied: "Let me watch it up close 100 times and I won't get tired. This opportunity is the best gift in the world. I'm like a boy who got a piece of candy from Santa Claus."
When the space elevator in "The Wandering Earth 2" descended from the sky, the Dolby sound effect was like a gust of wind, and the ground of the theater was shaking.
I suddenly thought of Liu Cixin who watched the launch back then. He said to me, "I turned on all the sensory antennas on my body to sense the vibration of the rocket as it propels upward."
Chasing after his intoxication of catching writing inspiration, I squatted down and reached out to touch the cold ground, which was trembling.
Whether it is fire, wind or earth, they have changed their appearance in ordinary times. During the journey of human beings exploring the universe, the earth is also showing its awe.
Today's rocket launch technology is very mature, but every launch, I believe it will leave a stamp on the physical world.
And people, too.
Therefore, Liu Cixin likes this grand and spectacular scene, and looks for various opportunities to watch the launch.
To this day, I still remember the horribly cold, minus 18 degrees Celsius cold.
It's physical, it's realistic, it's real.
It can be seen that Liu Cixin wanted to use this huge impact to blow open the floodgate of his own inspiration.
The movie "The Wandering Earth" is not the novel "The Wandering Earth", but a collection of the imagination of many works of Liu Cixin.
Do we want digital immortality, or physical existence for decades?
Do we want the joy of the moment, or the endless reproduction of human beings?
Do we want to cultivate an outstanding talent like Cheng Xin who is always politically correct and in line with human nature, or do we need a consul who can shine through the ages, but whose thinking is as inhuman as a rational blade, and who is ruthless?
The grand science fiction world constructed by Liu Cixin is always closely intertwined with his cold and even cruel thinking.
He's creating contrast, but leaving clues that will allow us to solve the case.
Liu Cixin is slender and soft, and his faint Shanxi accent makes him more like a scholar.
When I was with him, I was often speechless, because the gentleness he expressed could not overlap with the world constructed in his novels.
But I still want to find clues from him in reality.
When Tianyan FAST was built, Liu Cixin also stood on the huge steel frame platform, overlooking the steel structure of 500 football fields.
Human beings are so great, in the mountains and depressions in the southwestern part of Guizhou, they changed the world to receive news from aliens.
I want to ask him, which do you think is more like your Red Bank, the air-raid shelter under the Dongfanghong launch site, or the Sky Eye?
I took him to take pictures, and while maintaining his trademark smile, he said, we have taken so many photos together, why are we still together?
For a moment, I thought that he might be Zhuang Yan in "Three-Body Problem", an external skin that can be salty or sweet, his spirit is not his, but a signal sent from the distant universe, only he is infinitely quiet The antenna can only be connected if the ground is set in the valley of Niangziguan.
He is not him in the flesh, but a hero who constructs a new world with imagination.
Just like Ma Zhao in "The Wandering Earth 2", the last words before the sacrifice, the Mobius ring, left enough room for association.
I don't believe that he will die. That body and his soul have their own destiny. He may be a hidden Wallfacer.
MOSS cannot be Thanos, and it is impossible to become the only big BOSS.
The saturated rescue in "The Wandering Earth" 1 and 2 is also a Chinese characteristic. For example, the research of Chinese rockets is also carried out through multiple routes.
And the audience speculated about "The Wandering Earth 3", like an endless game, everyone has their own answers.
Many years ago, someone praised: Liu Cixin single-handedly pushed Chinese science fiction to the pinnacle of the world.
But I have to say that before winning the Hugo Award, "The Three-Body Problem" was undoubtedly a niche, and people in the Internet age don't bother to read it for a long time.
If it weren't for the Hugo Award, and if it wasn't for the transformation of director Guo Fan's film, it would be difficult for Liu Cixin's reputation to match his far-reaching value.
Under the spotlight of various media, Liu Cixin has appeared frequently in recent years.
I often worry, in such a luxurious and noisy world, can he still open that unique antenna?
Can you still hear the distant news?
Can he still build a world of contrasts, and stamp the thoughts that only he can think of?
Fortunately, he said that he still regards Niangziguan as his holy place, and he does not want people from the secular world to get close to his last secret place.
After the publication of "Ball Lightning" in 2004, many people were shocked, and the reporters excitedly congratulated him on being the leader of Chinese science fiction.
But Liu Cixin was very calm and said: "The launch of the Chinese science fiction market needs one or two novels that can sell millions of copies, and one or two movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan generated by these books, or TV dramas that are popular in CCTV prime time. , but at least for now, there is no sign of these two holy objects coming out."
Twenty years later, Liu Peiqiang was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Rabbit, and Liu Cixin also realized his prediction of a sci-fi explosion: a commercial movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan was released, and the TV series "Three-Body Problem" was broadcast.
So far, Liu Cixin's works have never disappointed me. Every time I open a blind box, it is a surprise.
A weak Liu Cixin has left a ideological stamp on Chinese science fiction.
Chinese sci-fi films amidst doubts and derogations will also leave an ideological stamp on the world.
