Huayu special effects started in 97

At the recording site of the program "Lu Yu Has an Appointment", Lu Yu talked about the report about the American president taking his family to watch "The Three-Body Problem 2" and asked Liu Cixin what she thought and whether she felt particularly proud.

Liu Cixin said it was okay because it was not the first time they had “dealt with each other”!

Lu Yu was extremely surprised, his eyes widened, "Really? I don't believe it!"

"That was several years ago. One day, I found an English email in my mailbox. The content of the email advised me to finish the third part of The Three-Body Problem as soon as possible and publish it in North America as soon as possible. Then I saw the signature, and it turned out to be... To be honest, I thought it was someone's bored prank, so I deleted it directly. Until one day later...!"

“Oh my God, he really sent an email urging me to submit the manuscript?”

"Ok!"

"And I found you through diplomatic means!"

"Yes!"

"Unbelievable!"

Liu Cixin smiled, "To be honest, I didn't dare to believe it at first!"

"But having said that, your Three-Body Problem is indeed well written!"

"you saw it?"

"Well, I've read part of it. Some parts are too obscure!"

Da Liu smiled, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yu said, "But my friend really likes your "The Three-Body Problem". She has read all three volumes. She said the content of the novel is very good, but she doesn't understand why you designed a character like Cheng Xin, who is a woman. Are you sincere?"

Liu Cixin did not answer directly, but expressed his views on the character of Cheng Xin.

"She is a perfect person under normal circumstances, and every decision she makes is in line with our mainstream moral values. But unfortunately, some things we think are constant will actually change over time, including our values ​​and social systems, which will change over time to adapt to the current environment, so it is difficult to simply judge whether her approach is right or wrong!"

"So, you think Cheng Xin is actually a very good person, right?"

"She is definitely a good person, but she is not suitable for the end of the world, and even less suitable for deciding the fate of countless people!"

"Why, just because she's a woman?"

……

After recording an interview program, Liu Cixin felt that the back of her shirt was soaked and she was so tired!

He immediately drove to the iQiyi Film Building and arrived at Jiang Heng's office, complaining that the host's topics were too tricky and his ideas were unconventional.

Jiang Heng smiled. "Only when there is controversy can there be popularity. After this program is broadcast, the fame of The Three-Body Problem and Cheng Xin will rise to a higher level, and your book will sell more!"

Liu Cixin seemed to understand something, "You're not going to shoot the third part this year, are you?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "How is that possible? It will take at least three years!"

"Oh, it would be better if the time interval was longer!" Although Liu Cixin has written many science fiction novels, there are actually only a few that are suitable for film and television adaptation. If they are all filmed at once, the popularity will be gone.

The best situation is as it is now, where he makes a movie every few years to stir up the popularity, and his books can also be sold.

As expected, when this episode of "Lu Yu You Yue" was broadcast, it really caused a huge response. After all, being "urged to update" sounds so fresh and unheard of!
Then there is the discussion about the heroine Cheng Xin in the third part, which aroused the curiosity of the audience. Many viewers who had not read the original novel went to bookstores after leaving the cinema, wanting to see how this sci-fi classic, which was praised by political and business celebrities and Internet giants, was written!
Of course, the sales data of books is definitely not so intuitive and shocking. In comparison, the box office of movies is more shocking. As of now, "The Three-Body Problem 2" has been released for 20 days, and the cumulative box office in the mainland market has reached 42 billion yuan, once again breaking the box office record of the mainland movie market.

This time, not only did all major entertainment media report extensively, but even CCTV's "News Broadcast" also reported that "The Three-Body Problem 2" was a global hit and had broken box office records in the mainland market.

Stills of several main actors including Chen Kun and Zhang Ruolan also appeared on the "News Broadcast".

The former is naturally highly praised.

After all, in terms of acting skills, Chen Kun is still quite outstanding, and his handsome appearance is also quite consistent with Luo Ji's character.

Since the hit of "The Three-Body Problem 2", Chen Kun's fame and status have soared again, making him the most popular male actor.

The only one who can rival him during this Spring Festival is naturally the brilliant Shen Teng. As the first film work of "Happy Twist" in this world, the joke-filled "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is really outstanding and fits the festive atmosphere.

As a result, the box office soared after the film was released, and Shen Teng became one of the most popular male actors in the Chinese entertainment industry.

For a time, many film and television investment companies contacted Happy Twist, wanting to invite Shen Teng to star in comedy movies.

Seeing this, the boss Zhang Chen was naturally very happy.

But currently the company is cooperating deeply with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, and there is a movie "Charlotte's Troubles" waiting to be released. After thinking it over, Zhang Chen still thinks it is better to inform Jiang Heng.

Of course, the investment and profit sharing ratio must be renegotiated.

Before this, neither Shen Teng nor Happy Twist had much fame in the Chinese entertainment industry, so it was understandable that they got less money, but now it is no longer the case!

"Hey, Director Jiang, hello, hello, this is it! Didn't the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" exceed 2 billion? Everyone is very happy, and we want to have a meal with you. It's not a celebration banquet, but just a gathering for everyone to have fun. Okay, I'll send you the time and place via WeChat later, okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Heng thought about it and called Zhang Ruolan again to tell her about going out to dinner together. She played the female lead Xia Zhu in the film, so it was not easy for her to miss such an occasion.

Zhang Ruolan has stopped promoting the film in recent days. Her work schedule has mainly focused on shooting commercials, and she hasn't seen Jiang Heng for a few days.

It’s very happy to have a meal together.

The role of "Zhuang Yan" made her famous and she has considerable popularity in overseas markets, while the role of "Xia Zhu" also allowed mainland audiences to see Zhang Ruolan's acting skills, both of which are very important.

In the evening, Zhang Ruolan went directly to the restaurant where the dinner was to take place, parked the car on the side of the road, and waited for Jiang Heng to arrive before going in together.

Zhang Chen, Shen Teng, Wei Xiang, Zhang Yiming, Yan Fei, Peng Damo and others had arrived a long time ago. When they saw Jiang Heng and Zhang Ruolan coming in together, they all smiled happily.

After some greetings, everyone sat down, toasted each other, and drank to their heart's content.

Zhang Chen, Shen Teng, Wei Xiang and others repeatedly mentioned Jiang Heng's great contribution. Without him, there would be no movie, and there would be no glorious future for everyone.

Then, Zhang Chen casually mentioned that nowadays, all the major companies are holding scripts and checks, wanting to cooperate with them, and wanting to invite Shen Teng to play the leading role in a comedy, which makes them really embarrassed and they don’t know how to choose!
