This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 464 The Wandering Earth Release
On the big screen, magnificent buildings rise from the ground.

They are all creations of the future imagined in science fiction works, shocking the audience's minds.

On the screen, news footage flashed:
News title: "Planetary Engine is the only hope for human survival"

Subtitle: The underground city entry qualification selection method is under heated discussion, and some countries strongly oppose the lottery method.

The time is June 2057, 6, and the temperature is -30 degrees Celsius.

Imperial News.

The TV hostess was introducing the plan: "Each propulsion engine is 11000 meters high and will provide a total of 150 trillion tons of thrust to the Earth."

On the screen, media from other countries also introduced this plan in different languages.

The use of this news clip is very clever. It not only quickly explains the background of the movie to the audience, but also creates an atmosphere of tension, crisis, and apocalypse. At the same time, the serious tone and tense pictures also give the audience a very strong sense of substitution.

Some of the audience could no longer sit still and were twisting and turning as if sprouts had sprouted on their buttocks.

"The International Space Station for Navigators will be officially completed early this month, and our country has selected 311 special pilots and 709 mechanical engineers."

Then, the narrator continued in an emotionless voice: "At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the Earth's voyage, the United Government assembled the world's aerospace forces and spent 30 years to build the Navigator International Space Station."

In the picture, the rocket takes off into the sky.

The movie cuts through different perspectives.

First, on the ground, countless people watched the rocket take off at dusk.

Then there is the perspective from space, where hundreds of rockets, with long tails of flames, break through the atmosphere and enter space.

Then they completely entered the space, and the manned cabin was connected to the space station which was full of technology and futuristic feeling.

The audience was simply amazed:

Is this really a science fiction movie made in our country?
"The International Space Station Navigator will fly with the Earth at a relative distance of 10 km, providing early warning, navigation, and communication support for the Earth."

Female host: "The global sea level will rise by 10 meters in 300 years, and my country's Haikou and Shenjiang will be the first to be hit by tsunamis."

The film's own narration and the hostess' voice alternate.

The movie shows a desolate city scene in the future world.

The sky was covered with leaden clouds and snowflakes were flying. There was not a trace of green, creating a cold and desolate atmosphere.

Although the city's buildings are modern in design, they are covered with thick snow. On the wide streets, only huge trucks are passing through. Their huge bodies and the supplies they load seem to be the only things in this world of ice and snow.

This is the picture of the future earth's surface presented in the movie.

This amazed the audience.

Then, the camera came to an entrance.

There was a banner hanging on it: Move to the underground city and build a new home together.

Turning again, a group of figures were moving slowly forward in the darkness.

They kept their heads down and wore thick clothes to protect themselves from the wind and snow.

In the background, the blurred outline of the city is faintly visible, and the tall buildings become hazy and unreal under the dual effects of dim skylight and distance, as if telling the story of past prosperity and today's vicissitudes.

The focus of the picture is on a banner in the foreground, with black words on a white background, eye-catching and cold: Those who fail to pass the lottery are strictly prohibited from entering the dungeon.

A depressing and heavy atmosphere emerged in the audience's hearts.

Narration: "Faced with the deteriorating living environment, the United Government has built an underground city under each engine. This will be the only shelter for mankind before the Earth reaches its new home."

Female host: "The right to reside in the underground city will be obtained by lottery. The lottery result cannot be transferred or loaned out."

Narration: "So far, humans, a tiny group born in the solar system, have embarked on a 2500-year journey of wandering."

Among the crowd moving forward, Han Ziang was holding the young Liu Qi.

"The surface temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius within this year, and residents in various regions will be relocated in batches."

In an instant, the entrance to the dungeon opened.

The crowd began to push in.

The Explosion Squad was guarding the door:

"Stop crowding!"

Then, the iron door of the elevator closed and the elevator sank into the ground.

The prologue ends.

-

For some reason, some viewers shed tears as soon as they saw this.

The crisis scene at the beginning of "The Wandering Earth" is actually not new or original, but one thing it does well is that it is realistic and impactful enough, and coupled with Cheng Cheng's unique writing style, it mobilizes the common emotions in the original setting of human beings!

That is the unity that human beings show when facing crises and disasters in order to overcome difficulties together!
And the tenacity and perseverance to survive!

At this time, in a movie theater in Neon, a Japanese girl and her friend were staring at the screen in a daze.

Running away with the Earth, this setting is so romantic!
Peninsula, a spectator opened his mouth wide.

In Serbia, an audience member's adrenaline is rising.

In Europe, a spectator felt half of his body go numb.

Eros, a Russian, and his friends were discussing something in a low voice. Although their voices were low, they could not hide their excitement and amazement.

-

After the prologue, the scene changes to the Navigator Space Station.

Liu Peiqiang, played by Shen Ze, lies in the hibernation capsule.

Memories come to mind.

"Dad will fly to the sky, turn into a star, and always watch over you."

“Dad, will you really become a star?

"Yes, from now on you just need to count, three, two, one, then look up and you will see dad."

The screen gradually went dark.

But when it lit up again, I saw a beautiful star, suspended against the deep background of the universe. Its front half was shrouded in darkness, as if it had merged into the universe, while the back half showed a charming blue glow, which seemed like flowing plasma, dragging a long, dreamy blue star tail.

This is the Earth.

The Earth Wandering in the Universe

The title of the film appeared on the screen.

"The Wandering Earth".

Different languages ​​​​sounded:

"Goodbye, solar system."

"Goodbye, solar"

","

"Adieu le système solaire"

"Sayonara solar system"

"."

More and more languages ​​​​sounded out at the same time.

Turning around, a boy found that his girlfriend was crying, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

He was startled: "Baby, why are you crying? What's wrong?"

His girlfriend's eyes were as red as a rabbit's:
"I don't know. I just felt very moved by this scene. It was really touching. This movie is so good."

The boy quickly took out a tissue and said, "Don't cry, don't cry."

At this time, at the premiere, Zhao Pang, the general manager of Shengming Media, was sitting in his seat, his whole body trembling.

As one of the investors of "The Wandering Earth", he was also invited to attend the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" today.

But he never expected that The Wandering Earth would be so awesome! Yes! Less than ten minutes into the movie, he was stunned! The only word that can describe this movie is awesome.

This movie gave him the feeling that...

While other domestic directors were still figuring out what one plus one equals, and how to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Cheng Cheng directly brought up university advanced mathematics!
This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!
Crush the game!

This made him incredible:

Has Cheng Cheng's strength surpassed that of his country's opponents by so much?

One of the invited directors was even more keenly aware of this:
This is simply a great starting point!

-

[Seventeen years later]
In an ordinary room, soft light shines on the windowsill.

There is a transparent green bottle on the windowsill, with a bunch of green seedlings in it.

In a corner of the room, an electric kettle made a "gurgling" sound of boiling water, and steam rose up.

The voice of the female host on TV was clear and powerful:

"Today's main content is, with the coming of the New Year, the first batch of station personnel of the Navigator Space Station will soon return, successfully completing 15 to 20 years of station work."

A photo of Shen Ze appeared on the TV screen.

"The residents of underground cities around the world are eagerly awaiting the return of the space heroes. For this reason—"

Suddenly, with a "click", the TV was abruptly turned off.

The camera then scanned the entire room, which looked like a technology enthusiast's room. Various drawings, aerospace models, and machinery were placed in the room. Then, Liu Qi, played by Xu Rui, appeared on the screen.

He was wearing a red work suit and was packing his backpack.

He stared at the wall, where there was a photo of their family of three, but Liu Peiqiang's face had been dug out.

He left a note:
Grandpa, I have decided to leave. Don’t worry, Liu Qi.

The scene changes again to a scene in a school.

"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the east wind is coming, the footsteps of spring are approaching, the year's plan depends on spring, there is hope, there is hope."

In the classroom, Han Duoduo, played by Su Simin, was spinning a pen out of boredom and seemed to be chewing gum. Everyone else was reading the text, but she seemed to be doing nothing.

As soon as she appeared, the audience's eyes lit up.

The little girl is really pretty, fair, beautiful, transparent and full of spirituality. She seems to be the kind of girl that all boys would like in middle school. Not only that, Su Simin also plays a mischievous role here.

She and Xu Rui gained a lot of popularity after the broadcast of "Alley People". At this time, the audience saw them and they were familiar faces.

The head teacher was walking around the classroom.

She said:

"Squad leader, tell me, what is your hope?"

A girl stood up and said in a tone full of affection:

"Hope is something as precious as diamonds in our age. Hope is our only hope of returning home."

There was a pop.

There was a burst of laughter in the theater.

The audience all understood this dry humor.

There were also audience members with severe PTSD who felt their scalps tingling and goose bumps all over their bodies when they heard this aria-like standard answer.

In the movie, Han Duoduo acted a little bored.

The teacher saw Han Duoduo's performance and said: "The monitor said very well, sit down."

Then, she called Han Duoduo:
"Han Duoduo, tell me."

Han Duoduo stood up and said, "I don't understand much, I just want to go outside and take a look."

The teacher said seriously: "But it's really dangerous outside."

Suddenly, the scene changed and Liu Qi smashed the electric meter with one punch.

Power was cut to the entire school.

The classroom fell into darkness.
There was only the emergency red light, flashing continuously.

The teacher quickly took control of the situation: "Don't panic, students. It's just that the simulation screen is broken. Go back and fix it."

Liu Qi whistled outside the window to signal Han Duoduo.

Han Duoduo knew that Liu Qi was coming to pick her up, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"You did this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Behind the two of them, a voice came from the classroom: "Teacher, Han Duoduo ran away!"

-

Then, Liu Qi led Han Duoduo and began to travel through the underground city.

The light in the dungeon is a little dim, but various neon lights and billboards interweave to create a colorful world of light and shadow.

The dungeon has a unique aesthetic style, which has both a cyberpunk feel of future technology and retro elements of the 1960s and 1970s.

On both sides of the street, there are dense and orderly buildings with all kinds of living facilities. People coming and going are mostly dressed in gray, blue and red. Festive music is playing in the background, and the words "2075" are displayed on the big screen.

All of this gives the audience an unparalleled sense of reality.

This is something they have never seen in domestic films!

Moreover, the rich details and unified aesthetic style all show that Cheng Cheng's creation of the dungeon in the movie is not a simple fantasy, but has a lot of textual support and is based on an entire worldview.

Han Duoduo looked at the announcement on the big screen, paused, and said:
"Hukou, will the neighborhood committee distribute dumplings tonight?"

Liu Qi: "Eat, eat, eat. Where's Grandpa's car?"

Han Duoduo: "Got it, got it, how about we eat dumplings before we leave?"

Liu Qi: "Eat shit, don't go."

Han Duoduo: "You liar, you promised to take me out to play!"

Next, when passing by a stall, Han Duoduo exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, dried earthworms with the flavor of durian!"

Liu Qi quickly dragged her away:

"What are you looking at?"

In the theater, the audience's expressions changed:
Damn, what are these dried earthworms that taste like durian?
Will humans in the future eat earthworms?

However, it seems that it should be the case. Humans live in underground cities. There is no sunlight and green plants on the surface. Don’t they have to eat earthworms? The only sources are rivers, the Ganges, and the Tay River.

Next, Liu Qi took Han Duoduo all the way to the Mahjong room to get clothes from the guy in the room.

The Chinese cyberpunk scenes presented in the movie along the way, as well as the feeling of mixing the past and the future, made the audience feel addicted.

They once again lamented:
Cheng Cheng did a great job with the details!
"The Wandering Earth" is too real.

At one point they couldn't believe that this was actually a domestic film.

When did domestic films become so awesome?

Then Duoduo let it slip that he couldn't come back, Yige intervened and started a quarrel, Liu Qi escaped with a life-saving ball, and everyone chased after him.
Each scene is presented very coolly, with both tension and excitement.

At the same time, during the chase, elements of the Chinese New Year such as lion dancing, spring couplets, and drumming were also presented, allowing the audience to feel that even in the background of "The Wandering Earth", people in the future are still full of love and hope for life.
