Chapter 257 "The Martian" is coming

The premiere in North America was very successful. Li Mu originally chose Jiang Wen because his hormonal image was still popular in Europe and the United States.

At least now in Hollywood, he is much more famous as an actor than as a director.

"It's okay, it can lay a good audience foundation for "Let the Bullets Fly"." Jiang Wen accepted his label of sexy in North America.

Because at the airport, a fan of Li Mu gave him a heavy blow in front of him.

The first-day box office in North America has not yet been released, but the film reviews have been released one after another, and under the deliberate control of Mengying, these reviews soon flowed to major domestic platforms.

The Rotten Tomatoes score is also out, with a 97% freshness rating!

This shows that the reputation of this movie has exploded!

Although the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes does not indicate the box office performance of a movie, it is a very positive sign.

"A feat of survival in outer space!"

"The gorgeous interweaving of human courage and scientific exploration shows the indomitable spirit of China!"

"It's not just science fiction movies, the beauty of human nature is what attracts people!"

""What's really great about this story is imagining a near-future scenario that technically wouldn't be too far from where we are today. "

"."

Almost everyone was praising it, and even North American viewers’ comments were screenshotted, making domestic netizens eager to go to the cinema to find out.

"How did "The Martian" turn out? North America is so crazy about it!"

"I don't know, but Li Mu's movies seem to have always been like this. They are never bad. This time they are probably amazingly good again!"

“One of the must-see movies this Spring Festival”

Lu Zheng also took Jing Tian to promote "Warring States", which will be released in April.

"It's a pity that Director Li didn't bring you to the North American premiere this time. It's still beneficial to go there. Foreign countries have very high praise for this movie, so it's a good way to get familiar with it."

Lu Zheng looked at the overseas reviews and said with some regret.

"'The Martian' is almost just a one-man show by Director Jiang. It's normal not to take him with him. Besides, there's a domestic premiere."

Jingtian didn't care.

"With Director Li as the starting point for this movie, "Warring States" starring you will definitely be a hit." Lu Zheng was immediately confident, and everything felt like the best arrangement. After "The Martian", the only domestic blockbuster was "The Martian" "Warring States" part one.

Jingtian, who happened to be in two movies, found it hard not to attract the attention of the audience, and this time he couldn't even think about it.

The first-day box office in North America has been released, and domestically it was released almost at the same time.

More than 2100 million US dollars.

It’s almost the same as the first-day box office of Nolan’s “Inception.”

"The winner in the first week, for sure, there is no film in the current schedule that can compete with "The Martian"!"

"definitely"

"Holy shit, I saw something. 'The Martian' is the best advertisement for engineering careers I've ever seen," British physicist Brian Cox said.

"The research party is online. I want to see how possible the science in the movie is."

On its second day, "The Martian" grossed more than $2300 million at the box office on Saturday.

Sunday, more than $2100 million.

The total revenue in the first week was US$6400 million, making him the winner of the week.

In China, as the Spring Festival is approaching, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger and stronger.

Naturally, it is impossible for "The Martian", which is highly anticipated by people inside and outside the industry, to hold its premiere on New Year's Eve. The premiere ceremony is scheduled for the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which is January 1st, and the venue is the National Center for the Performing Arts in the Imperial Capital. .

In fact, not only "The Martian", but also several other films released during the Spring Festival are also starting their premieres one after another.

People from the space agency were also invited to the premiere. After all, the space agency helped with the construction of the space base.

National Center for the Performing Arts, the red carpet is star-studded.

This major drama co-produced by China and the United States was naturally the focus of major media. Reporters from both sides occupied the seats on both sides of the red carpet.

Although it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was an endless stream of first- and second-tier stars, including Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun.
There were also many directors who came to show their support, and they all wanted to see what Li Mu's science fiction blockbuster would look like.

People from major film companies also gathered together, and Han Sanping even arrived early.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhongjun, Ren Zhonglun and others arrived a little later.

However, the quality of the half-hour red carpet show was even comparable to that of the red carpet at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, which attracted the audience to cheer!

Jiang Wen looked at the person who was poking at him: "My show was just like a film festival, yours is like a film festival."

"That's it, premieres are actually less important now than before."

"It feels the same."

"Director Li, Director Jiang!" Everyone who comes has to come over and say hello twice.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang entered the venue early.

Under the attention of many people, Li Mu took the leading actors onto the stage. In addition to Jiang Wen, there were also several of Jiang Wen's colleagues in the movie and several Hollywood actors.

It’s just that the question and answer session requires translation, which is a little more troublesome.

Shu Chang smiled and said to Liu Yifei while listening: "These foreign friends are also flattering your Li Mu!"

"It's obviously a good shot, otherwise people wouldn't praise her like that!" Liu Yifei immediately refused.

"Then her choice of words is too exaggerated."

“I think this movie actually explains the value of one life, and whether the entire planet is willing to go to such great lengths to save one life, and whether we are willing to make sacrifices for each other. This is actually what the movie wants to convey. A message that we always remember."

Li Mu made a final summary and led the crew down to take their seats.

Both movie fans and industry insiders at the scene put on 3D glasses and were ready to enjoy this hard science fiction masterpiece.

The quality of Li Mu's films cannot be overemphasized. It has been enough for the past eight years or so, and the fans behind him are still discussing it in low voices.

Amid the expectant comments from the audience, the IMAX giant screen, which was more than 20 meters high, lit up. An earth-yellow planet appeared on the big screen, and the opening scene was a barren Martian road.

The whole land including the picture is dark yellow, desolate and sad.

A five-second wide-angle long shot, the audience follows the camera over mountains and hills, and has a comprehensive appreciation of the surface of Mars thousands of miles away. "Holy shit, this is the Mars I imagined, I'm looking forward to it more and more!" Some fans couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then the camera started to zoom in, and several astronauts were doing soil sampling on the surface. There were small flags on the ground to mark each area.

The astronauts chatted on the communicator while working, which made the audience in the theater burst into laughter from time to time. However, a storm followed and yellow sand was flying all over the sky. Under the realistic special effects and 3D effects, the scene was shocked for a while. A burst of shouts.

Some viewers even waved their hands unconsciously, trying to wave away the wind and sand in front of them, as if they were in the storm. This scene seems to have been shown in "2012", but there are still viewers who can't help themselves.

Jiang Wen was hit by a signal receiver during the storm, and the aerospace team had to leave after searching to no avail.

Jiang Wen was the only one left on Mars. Thinking about the desolation on Mars, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. At the same time, he was even more curious about how Jiang Wen survived on Mars and how he returned to Earth safely.

"Is the hero's Robinson Crusoe's journey to Mars about to begin?" Audiences who have seen the trailer know that this movie is actually Robinson's journey to Mars.

The audience watched the tragic scene on the screen intently.

There is no doubt that just 10 minutes into the movie, the fierce storm, the plot full of science fiction flavor, and the anxious "countdown to death" have completely attracted everyone!

"I have no way to contact Huaxia Aerospace now, and even if I do, it may take four years for a manned spacecraft to rescue me, but... our habitation module is only designed to last for 31 days."

"During this period, if the oxygen concentrator is damaged, I will suffocate. If the regeneration water device is damaged, I will die of thirst. If the cabin cannot block the next storm, I may die directly. If I am lucky, , if none of this happens, eventually I will run out of food, so..."

Everyone fell silent after seeing Jiang Wen's helpless and desperate expression on the screen.

"Jiang Wen's performance is really good, Oscar-level."

Many people rated Jiang Wen.

"I don't know if there is much difference between the life in the movie and the one I designed. It's 10 RMB."

In this scene, just when the audience thought he was sad, Jiang Wen began to enjoy life in the base.

After taking inventory of some of the food left in the base, boxes of vacuum-packed food were taken out, including some rice and various dishes, which looked quite rich.

He had a big meal, assorted fried rice + black pepper beef tenderloin, crab roe and broad beans as a snack, and drank tea. He didn't look like he was in trouble, but more like he was on vacation. .

The relaxed audience also began to eat snacks and drink drinks.

The subsequent plot seems to be more relaxed. Our botanist Jiang Wen found the potatoes brought before heaven. He wants to grow enough food for 1000 days on the barren Mars.

It was a difficult challenge, but in order to survive, he boldly chose to try.

"Mars will fear me.

He mixed the soil from Mars with the soil from the Earth, used his own excrement and that of the exploration team members as nutrients, and started his farming career on Mars.

Of course, the audience didn't quite know that it was excrement at first. After all, they had never seen pooping in space.

Therefore, when he poured the bags of dried excrement into the bucket and stirred it up, the unprepared audience was caught off guard.

Especially the audience who were still eating popcorn and drinking drinks almost sprayed out.

Even if it didn't squirt out, I couldn't help but feel nauseated at this moment!
"Damn it, this wave was completely caught off guard!"

"Didn't you see that Jiang Wen pinched his nose? You should be on guard."

Plants need to grow, and soil is inseparable from water, but there is no water on Mars.

So Jiang Wen took out the aircraft's fuel hydrazine, and then under the catalysis of iridium, the hydrazine would decompose into hydrogen and nitrogen.

Then, guide the hydrogen gas to a space and ignite it, and water will be generated.

N2H4+O2N2+2H2O，这就是整个过程的反应式。

Well, in this section, the audience who are not majoring in chemistry, and those who have returned the chemistry knowledge they have learned to their teachers a long time ago, all have an unclear feeling that water can be produced on Mars.

However, if you have read the comments on Weibo, you have basically seen this formula. After all, the level of netizens is not limited. Someone has thought of it a long time ago.

Despite this, Jiang Wen was not discouraged and started his second experiment!While sleeping, water slowly appeared in the "big shed" next door.

However, the first test failed. Not only did it fail, but it also left him disgraced.

Jiang Wen was still sleeping, so he couldn't see the result.

But for the audience, they have become the characters, and they can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment at this time.

After a while, the first seedlings emerged from the ground.

This is hope!

For the first time in the theater, I didn’t know who started the applause!
Applaud for this glimmer of hope!Then, many people also applauded.

After Jiang Wen woke up, he saw the seedlings. This simple detail of touching the seedlings made people feel the emotional resonance, and such details are everywhere in the film.

For a movie, this means the audience's recognition, their emotional investment, and emotional resonance.

There are two types of emotional resonance, one is to empathize with the person, and the other is to empathize with the character's emotional resonance.

And such applause could never have been arranged by Li Mu and others in advance, which makes it even more valuable!

It is basically impossible for a movie like this to have a bad box office. No, it should be said that a movie like this must have a very good reputation. Otherwise, the audience would not spontaneously applaud for it in the middle!

“It’s up to you whether the Spring Festival stall can be completely separated from the Lunar New Year stall.”

Han Sanping sat in the front row and watched the scene silently. Thinking of what Li Mu had said to him about lighting up the New Year stalls, his heart was filled with anticipation.

The China Space Administration promised in front of reporters that it would definitely bring Jiang Wen back to Earth safely.

On Mars, Jiang Wen didn't know this, but he was also making longer-term plans. The space team would land on Mars again in four years, and he planned to arrive at the place where the spacecraft would land four years later.

A total of 3200 kilometers. According to the mileage of the Mars rover, it will take him 50 days, but he cannot carry so many supplies at once.

Tried again and again, even turning off the heating equipment on the Mars rover, just to get a little more battery life.

However, at night it was minus 15 degrees and my balls were freezing.

He removed all the removable batteries and installed them on the Mars rover. He also dug out the radioisotope thermoelectric transmitter and placed it in the Mars rover for heating. The temperature was as high as 40 degrees.

The man-made isotope plutonium-238 has a half-life of just 88 years, which means its radioactivity decays quickly enough to make it very hot.

In fact, the audience doesn't care about isotopes and the like. They don't understand this stuff. What they focus on now is time!

Jiang Wen tried again and again on Mars. Even if a person lived on this indifferent planet for dozens of days, he only showed a trace of confusion in the dead of night, but the next day he became optimistic again. stand up.

His resolute face, determination, optimism and occasional self-entertaining jokes also infected the audience.

At the same time, the space agency also discovered Jiang Wen's movement direction through satellites and determined that he wanted to go to the place where the spacecraft would land four years later.

The space agency began to study a rescue plan to bring the astronauts back to Earth safely!
