The Creator of the Second Dimension

At this time, there is still more than half a month before the premiere of "Country Teacher", but related announcements have already been made.

Many movies nowadays like to make several promotional videos, such as youth version trailers, middle-aged version trailers, old version trailers, etc., which look gaudy, but in fact they are just re-edited, with a different soundtrack and another wave of promotion.

But "Country Teacher" has only one trailer, and that is the trailer that was previously released in Hatsune World.

Perhaps for Phantom Media, this trailer is enough to show the content of the movie.

As soon as the public account of Ningjiang TV station was released, it immediately caused a commotion.

In this feature article ["Country Teacher": The First Year of China's Science Fiction Film], Zhou Hongyu did not spare any praises. From the script to the actors, from the lens to the special effects, he almost blew up "The Country Teacher" all over the place. .

Moreover, the article also said: "In the past, most of China's sci-fi movies were just romance movies and war movies with added special effects, and the core of the story was still the same as on the earth. It's too narrow, but "Country Teacher" embodies a feeling that transcends race and country, which is the feeling of human civilization. Perhaps only when our technology develops to the point that human beings can go out of their own planet and out of the solar system, can we realize To be able to truly experience such feelings in reality, therefore, I believe that the history of Chinese science fiction films should be divided by "Country Teacher", which undoubtedly represents the rise of China's true science fiction films."

It is hard to imagine that this kind of praise is a press release from the official media. Generally speaking, only some official accounts may say this in order to attract attention.

Because of this, this feature article quickly spread on various social platforms, media channels, and chat groups.

On Peanut.com, a comprehensive movie rating website, the catalog of "Country Teacher" has been there long ago. In fact, since "Your Name" was released, there have been a lot of people commenting on this movie.

But most of them are bad reviews.

Many people have deep grievances with Xu Rui because of "The Garden of Words and Leaves", some people have lost their interests because of the popularity of "Your Name", and more people simply follow the trend and don't know anything.

It is a funny thing to rate a movie that has not yet been released. In fact, since "The Garden of Words", the reputation of Peanut.com among the audience has plummeted, especially when Hatsune Video is online again. After adopting a more objective and neutral scoring system, the business of Huasheng.com has gone from bad to worse.

For example, in the area of ​​animation ratings, the work with the most comments this year on Peanut.com has less than a thousand works, and some of them are trolls created by their own website.

Another example is that after being rejected by the MC for scoring the game, Peanut.com directly abolished and integrated the entire game division this year, which is very miserable.

Under the entry of "Country Teacher" on Peanut.com, because of the holding of the internal preview meeting, it became popular again.

[Camera Life]: I think Ningjiang TV station must have received money. How could it be so boastful?

[Forty-five Degrees of Sadness]: The internal screenings must have been carefully selected and paid for. It can't be overstated. The current media is not objective at all.

[Green tea, black tea, white tea]: That is, if Xu Rui has the ability to hold a screening, let everyone have a look, this kind of preview meeting that charges money to watch movies can't explain anything at all.

[Street Corner in Provence]: It's the first year of Chinese sci-fi movies. I think the directors of those sci-fi movies will overturn Xu Rui's coffin. Can he bear such a heavy name?

[Chocolate Liquor]: You all misunderstood Ningjiang TV Station. It is a high-level hacker playing the opposite role. No matter how high you blow it now, it will hurt you when you fall.

Xu Rui's remarks did not reach Xu Rui's ears.

He is still working on the creation of the "Once Upon a Time on Earth" series of animations.

In another world, this work called "Three-Body Problem" has been recognized by the public and has become a well-known masterpiece.

But at least in Xu Rui's cognition, this work is only a novel, and there are almost no genres of movies and animations.

A novel is a novel, and an animation is an animation. Even if Xu Rui has the plot of "The Three-Body Problem", it needs to be converted into storyboards and made into an animation. This is tantamount to creating a new work.

The story of "Three-Body Problem" is divided into three parts, the first part shows the Three-Body Problem civilization, the second part is the battle between the Three-Body Problem Civilization and human civilization through the Wallfacer Project, and finally, the third part involves the entire universe.

In terms of the story, the second part is the most exciting and ups and downs, so Xu Rui put the focus of creation on the second part.

Whether it's the confrontation between several Wallfacers and Wallbreakers, or the final plot where Luo Ji stands on the ground and declares to the Three-Body Civilization, they all have a strong appeal and are suitable for adaptation.

But in the first part, the depiction of the Three-Body Civilization is also a necessary foreshadowing. Without the hundreds of rebirths of this civilization, the audience would not be able to appreciate the cruelty of the Civilization War.

Many movies about aliens only have descriptions of aliens invading the earth, but not enough descriptions of the aliens themselves. In the eyes of the audience, they are nothing more than threats from the outside, no matter whether the aliens have six eyes or not. Or eight legs, a rumpled monkey or a steel giant, it doesn't make a difference.

In fact, most of the alien invasion movies in Europe and America are alluding to their history of being invaded in the past, which is a historical projection, so in their view, the description of aliens is unnecessary, and no one will pay attention to a villain.

However, the first part of the Three-Body Problem took an entire book to unveil the mystery of the Three-Body Problem step by step, and readers will be able to have a certain sense of substitution and feel that this is a world just like human civilization. The civilization that has come to this day through hardship and hardship.

As for the third part, because the time span involved is too long and the plot is more ambitious, it is very difficult to adapt. Xu Rui decided to end with the complete destruction of the earth, and the truth about the return to zero and the battle of cosmic civilizations is revealed. Will be added later.

Even so, Xu Rui believes that the length of this animation will be close to fifty-two episodes, that is, the length of a whole year.

Among them, the first ten episodes, the second twenty-six episodes, and the third sixteen episodes.

At the beginning, Xu Rui also planned to use the name "Three-Body Problem" directly, but this name is obviously not popular enough, and it requires a certain cost in dissemination and understanding, so he simply used the subtitle "Once Upon a Time on Earth".

So, at the height of summer, on the second floor of the fantasy animation, Xu Rui started to actually adapt this story about destruction on the digital board.
