Expectation: the first exposure of Liu Cixin's adaptation of the adventure action film "The Wandering Earth"

Adapted from liu's novel of the same name, "The Wandering Earth" has attracted much attention since the shooting. Recently, the wandering the earth 15 seconds of a patch forecast in the cinema, wore thick "exoskeleton" and the earth's surface protective clothing collections in the wind and snow, unique apparel sculpt texture caused by amway science fiction fans crazy. Guo fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth," is currently leading the team in the post-production of the film, which is expected to be released this year.

At the beginning of the trailer, hawking's "deep space exploration plan" was incorporated into the "rogue earth" bill. The plan, proposed in 2016, aims to achieve high-speed deep space exploration to reach alpha centauri, the nearest star system to the solar system. In view of the stray earth describes the imminent end of the sun, the solar system is no longer suitable for survival, human open "stray earth" project, devoting resources to the surface of the earth to build numerous engine to promote the planet earth, to search for new home galaxy. Trailer, claims to liu fan of Obama's opening speech, science fiction fans of "great spirit" hawking surprises, the scale of the United Nations general assembly site, such as "China's space" spacecraft launch scenario, let the audience for the movie in a lot of speculation.

The novel "The Wandering Earth" won the first prize of the galaxy award in 2000, and was honored as "the most imaginative and humane local science fiction".The novel begins with a very unique setting --

I've never seen the night, nor seen a star; I've seen neither spring, nor fall, nor winter. I was born at the end of the brake era when the earth had just stopped turning.

This "brake age" is the first step in a big human project. Because scientists have observed that the sun is about to happen in 400 years.

After the helium flash, the sun will blow up all habitable earth-like planets in the solar system and expand and even devour the earth.

In order to survive, humans have to set up a human escape plan, which is divided into five steps.

The first step is to use the earth's engine on the earth to stop the rotation of the earth, so that the nozzle of the engine is fixed in the opposite direction of the earth's operation.

The second step is to start the earth engine at full power, accelerating the earth to escape velocity and flying out of the solar system.

Step three, continue to accelerate in outer space, fly to proxima star;

The fourth step, in the middle of the earth rotation, turn the engine, start to slow down;

In the fifth step, the earth moves into the orbit of the proximal star and becomes the satellite of the star.

People call this five-step respectively called braking time, elapsed time, stray era Ⅰ Ⅱ (acceleration), stray era (slow), the new solar era.

And the whole process of immigration will continue for two thousand five hundred years, one hundred generations.

Of course in this process, the atmosphere is already gone, life on the earth's surface, also will die due to changes in the environment, and any available element on the surface of the earth will be used as engine fuel earth, human can only live in the underground city, on the surface observation and study, must wear protective clothing surface.

To that end, Mr. Liu also set up a technique called "heavy element fusion," which allows humans to turn material such as rock into fuel for the earth's engines.

Although in reality wandering planets, but with earth engine, change the original trajectory and the speed of the earth, let the earth out of the solar system, become a rogue planets set, like a sentence of the novel --

A miracle like the earth's engine, which even god can't imagine, will not come true in four centuries.

In the trailer for the latest release of "the wandering earth," we've been able to see many of the elements that have been written in the novel.

For example, the deep space exploration plan proposed by hawking in reality is combined with the project of "wandering earth". The appearance of the Chinese space shuttle also hints at China's important role in the story. Reality, hawking united Russia in 2016, put forward the plan of the richest people in the two, the goal is to achieve high speed deep space exploration of human, to fly to distance from the nearest star system, alpha centauri solar system.

In the novel, there are a lot of great scenes, all with a strong element of adventure.

In dungeons have live a long time, for example, have never seen the sun's protagonist, compulsory education to bring the surface to be school meet the sun, for them, the sun is like a picture from the end of the terrorist. This means that the film is about to turn everything we know into a panic that has never been seen before.

For example, after embarking on the adventure of "wandering the earth", humans soon saw an endless expanse of ice. The description in the novel is, "this ice sheet seems to extend to the end of the universe, or it is the end of the universe itself." This means that movies are also likely to show this kind of adventure and loneliness to the extreme.

For example, after the earth has already started to wander, the rebellion is erupting in every continent, because the doomsday prophesy of solar helix is likely to be a conspiracy. It sounds like a dystopian work of action elements like the hunger games or the divergent.

The exoskeleton in the movie

After a description of these scenarios in the image in the novel, makes the film closer to the action adventure on type, but it is the scale of the action and adventure, is under the state of the earth "fly", after the earth from the solar system, action and adventure based on scale under the Milky Way, and it will be like those based on earth we had seen this adventure on the scene, amplify the countless times.

It's like we're looking at the whole universe from the perspective of the mayfly.In a word, you can see it when it is released. I'm really excited to see it made into a movie.
