Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 632 Propaganda (33)

Interstellar received a high rating on Douban, initially reaching 9.2. Later, due to the infighting among fans of The Wandering Earth, the Douban rating rose to 9.4!
Then many fans of "The Wandering Earth" thought that... people who liked "Interstellar" were idiots.

That's not right...

Does liking "The Wandering Earth" mean you can't like "Interstellar"?
The film's industrial sophistication, including its narrative pacing, is benchmark-setting!

To be honest, the pacing of the narrative in "The Wandering Earth 2" is terrible!
It could even be said that this entire segment about the space elevator was pointless; the movie didn't show what the space elevator was for, and there was no apparent impact after it exploded.

Why the rebels bombed it is unknown, where the rebels came from is unknown, and how the rebels died is unknown...

Of course, as we know from reading the original work and the interpretation, the main plot of blowing up the space elevator is to destroy the Ark space station!

The Ark Space Station can be used to compare the conflict between the spaceship faction and the Wandering Earth faction in the original novel...

The scale of the Ark Space Station's construction is large enough to allow a small elite group to undertake interstellar travel...

Moreover, Project Ark was proposed by the US, while China proposed Project Mountain Moving…

But for those who believe in digital life, whether it's "Project Ark," "Project Mountain Moving," or "Project Moon Moving," they are all the same: to prolong human physical life. For the physical body to survive, it must be destroyed...

Destroying the space elevator was a setup for the third installment!
But you can't understand these things just by watching the movie; in fact, it just makes you feel confused...

I even feel that Guo Fan filmed this scene just to include a space elevator scene.

In contrast, Interstellar has a well-paced narrative with excellent transitions and a subtle, nuanced storytelling style.

Instead of taking a straightforward approach like "The Wandering Earth 2," and relying on narration to drive the narrative when all else fails...

However, when Shen Yan advised Yang Mi to delete the Weibo post, she immediately got angry: "What's wrong? I didn't post anything about watching a movie with you!"

"What I mean is that there's a large audience in China who don't like Nolan's films, and Interstellar isn't really hard science fiction..."

"Not sci-fi enough?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Using love to generate electricity is science fiction?"

"Powered by love?"

"Love is the only thing that can transcend time and space... Could Nolan explain why there were so many human tragedies in his homeland during the reign of the great Queen Victoria... Did they not understand love?"

Queen Victoria?

"You really don't know that Britain is the country that has killed the most humans in the world? During the global expansion of the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire's KDA (Kill-Day) record under Queen Victoria has never been broken. Ireland can match it in terms of proportion, and India can match it in terms of sheer numbers!"

What is KDA?

"You play League of Legends, right? Kill, Death, Assist, KDA!"

"How many people did she kill?"

"Approximately 200 million... Back then, Ireland was a British colony, and the Irish Famine occurred, reducing the population by a quarter... During the colonial period in India, approximately 30 million Indians died of famine... There's a joke that after Kennedy was sent down, he told his elders that he was unlucky enough to be assassinated, and his ancestors cursed him, saying he deserved it because even though he became president, he didn't drop an atomic bomb on London..."

"Huh? Why?"

"Kennedy is of Irish descent. His grandfather fled to America during the famine and settled down by doing small business. His father expanded the business and became a wealthy man with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. He also began to groom his children for politics. A large part of the reason Kennedy was elected president was the support of a large number of Irish immigrants..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why would you do that?"

"What's the matter?"

"Why is Britain so cruel?" "Who knows...that's just how the Saxons are..." Shen Yan waved his hand: "That's all history, and just history. We're actors, don't worry about it..."

"According to you, Interstellar really isn't a good movie!"

"You can't say that. Black holes and waves hundreds of meters high—it's still a real shame!"

"…Too…"

……

After Interstellar, Nolan became a legend in mainland China!
Inception, Interstellar, and the Batman trilogy have all made it into Douban's Top 250...

A bunch of Nolan fans are acting like brainless addicts, constantly putting down other people.

In the original timeline, during the promotional tour of "Dunkirk" in China, Nolan's scheduled meeting with Wu Jing sparked a frenzy of ridicule from Nolan's fans, who mocked Wu Jing, saying things like, "Wu Jing doesn't deserve it," "Wu Jing only deserves to kneel!" and "Only Ang Lee is qualified to receive Nolan..."

That's some serious sense of superiority!
However, Interstellar's box office performance in mainland China was still impressive—7.55 million yuan, surpassing X-Men: Days of Future Past and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, ranking second among imported films in 2014.

The number one spot goes to "Transformers: Age of Extinction"...

This matter originally had little to do with Shen Yan...

What the hell does your imported film have to do with Shen Yan?

Furthermore, Interstellar was a joint production of Paramount and Warner Bros.

They also couldn't get any funding from Shen Yan.

But a lot of people are saying, "Having seen the trailer for *The Martian*, *Future X-Cops* is on par with *Interstellar*, and it doesn't even compare to *2001: A Space Odyssey* from the 80s!"

This is pure fabrication!

First of all, *2001: A Sky Odyssey* is a 1968 film…

Secondly, the trailer for "The Martian" was never leaked. Where did they see the trailer?
It's obvious they're trying to sabotage "The Martian"...

After all, during the release of "Interstellar," public expectations for science fiction films were high. At this time, the poor promotion of "The Martian" would greatly affect the planning of next year's Spring Festival film season!

You need to understand that the initial audience for science fiction films is science fiction fans, and only then can other audiences be drawn in…

How did Shen Yan deal with it?
They started a live stream and then played a 20-minute extended trailer for all viewers in the live stream room.

"Since everyone seems to have doubts about 'The Martian,' I'll play a clip... This is a clip I received that has already been processed in post-production... It's only 20 minutes long. If you want to see the rest of the plot, you'll have to go to the theater. Without further ado, let's watch the movie!"

That's right, Shen Yan played the first 20 minutes of "The Martian" directly...

The reason is simple: on the one hand, they let their strength speak for itself and slap the faces of those who were pessimistic.
On the other hand, let's promote it...

Anyway, in the first 20 minutes, the plot just happened to stop at the moment when Dafei took a bag of potatoes from the cold storage, and after using the toilet, he glanced at his own excrement...

Then it abruptly ended!

A group of viewers in the live stream were "furious," leaving comments in unison: "What happens next?" and "I want to keep watching!"

Shen Yan looked 'aggrieved': "...It's not that I wanted to stop here, the plot just had to end here...We convinced Mr. Andy Lau to make a cameo appearance in several low-budget sci-fi films afterward based on this trailer..."

"After all, the sci-fi filming base and soundstage construction cost over a billion yuan, so we definitely need to make the most of it. Currently, there are too few teams with the idea of ​​shooting sci-fi films, so we have to do it ourselves..."
