That's right, the old Americans are also here to film " three-body ".
In fact, this has been expected by everyone. After all, the two words "netflix" and "science fiction" sound so matched.
Moreover, before the launch of our online drama "The Three-Body Problem", more people are still looking forward to the Netflix version of the work.
Fortunately, we have carried our own story.
's ratings exploded and its reputation skyrocketed. More than 440,000 people on Douban gave it a high score of 8.7. The mainland version of "The Three-Body Problem" kicked open the door to our domestic science fiction drama market.
If I have to say regrets, I think the only regret may be that Magnolia led the whole race and did not win any real prizes.
The reason why everyone expects Netflix to take action is of course that they have a better grasp of science fiction themes and the production is still slightly better.
The creator of "Game of Thrones" and the director of "Star Wars Episode VIII", how amazing is this?
However, after watching the trailer released by the American version of "The Three-Body Problem", I can only say that this drama is really not optimistic.
Black people save mankind, Wang Miao is divided into "five people"
Netflix's "The Three-Body Problem" contains the first two parts of the original work, so both Wang Miao and Luo Ji will appear.
According to the thinking of film and television dramas, Luo Ji can actually be regarded as the main male protagonist in the entire series of "The Three-Body Problem".
From the beginning of the game life, to the sword bearer who saves mankind in the end.
In fact, perhaps Ye Wenjie was the initiator of all this, but it is undeniable that Luo Ji's several growth and changes were top priority.
Even after everything he experienced, he always believed that human beings were worth saving.
The Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem" gave the role of Luo Ji to a black man, John Adepo.
has heard the heartbroken voices of book fans.
The task of saving the world ultimately fell into the hands of black people (not really).
It's not racial discrimination. Although Luo Ji was carefree and not serious in his early days, he was at least a top intellectual. He was taciturn, agile and very resistant to pressure.
When watching the mainland version of "The Three-Body Problem", I even felt that Zhang Luyi could play this role.
The American version of Luo Ji is obviously very different from the image in the book. At the very least, it looks very unreliable.
and the "Three Body" duel, once defeated, human civilization will disappear, it is not a joke, from the actor's point of view, isn't this really funny?
The most outrageous thing is Wang Miao.
Even if you have not read the novel, viewers who have followed the mainland version of "The Three-Body Problem" should be familiar with this character, the physicist played by Zhang Luyi.
Suddenly a countdown appeared in front of his eyes, and he later questioned physics.
In the American version of "The Three-Body Problem", Wang Miao was divided into five people.
A very simple sentence, but I can’t understand what it means when connected together. In the original work of
, the physicist Wang Miao is the only protagonist, and Netflix gave him a five-star rating and even included a female actor.
This is what the actor who plays Ye Wenjie said in an interview, and in the public stills, Wang Miao is indeed a woman.
Moreover, the countdown that appeared in front of Wang Miao turned into a bunch of numbers written in blood on the wall.
In Wang Miao's case, he made science fiction into a "thriller", which is worthy of American science fiction.
"The Three-Body Problem" changed the idol drama
I originally thought that the operation of matching characters would only appear in domestic idol dramas, but I never expected that Netflix would also follow suit. If you don't learn
, it will be useless.
Chapter Beihai , the director of a certain department of the Space Force is also a high-ranking commander, and eventually became the spiritual leader of Starship Earth.
I dare to say that this person is definitely the most "righteous" character in the entire work. This kind of "righteousness" is not black and white justice, but a righteousness that radiates from the inside out.
He has the absolute faith of a soldier and can even build a starship on Earth by himself. Characters like
have inherited the spirit of their father. In my opinion, they have unique Chinese sentiments and are typical tragic characters. They are also one of the characters in the whole drama that can bring an inner impact to the audience.
and Cheng Xin , I think there is no need to say more.
Although she became the next sword holder after Luo Ji, she actually chose to give up at the critical moment that determined human life and death.
hesitated and hesitated many times, and was so selfish that I think almost no one who has read the novel will fall in love with Cheng Xin.
However, in the American version of "The Three-Body Problem", Zhang Beihai fell in love with her, and the two of them got together.
Not only that, Ye Wenjie and Evans got close together.
Ye Wenjie knew that she was affected by things that were difficult to explain, and she pressed that button when she collapsed in despair. Because the location of the earth was exposed, it also led to the subsequent Trisolaran species to invade human civilization.
However, Ye Wenjie made her choice under extremely hopeless circumstances and went through a long period of mental torture before finally choosing Luo Ji, and to a certain extent, this sister actually saved mankind.
Some viewers may not know much about Evans, and he is not a central figure, but he is the founder of the Trisolaran Movement, and his accent sounds like an old American.
It is true that the two people knew each other, but when Evans encountered a problem in life and asked Ye Wenjie for help, Ye Wenjie just told him the story of Hong'an and the Three-Body Problem.
and the last two people are absolutely opposite.
To be honest, in my opinion, it is precisely because of the comparison with Evans that the Eastern thoughts represented by Ye Wenjie and the unique feelings of the Chinese people are more prominent.
Even the emotional line is a bit outrageous to me, because in terms of Ye Wenjie's own character, at that time, she would never be able to have a good impression of Evans.
Evans was not her savior. Instead, Ye Wenjie's strength and self-salvation gave Evans a way out.
However, in Netflix's "The Three-Body Problem", the two are not only together, but they also kiss.
This inseparable and uncontrollable look is really baffling.
No, we are here to deal with aliens. Humanity is going to be gone. You guys are in love, right?
Conclusion
In fact, it is understandable that Netflix adapted some white actors.
However, this story itself is inseparable from Chinese history and Chinese culture. Unfortunately, except for Ye Wenjie, almost all the good guys in the drama are white and black.
Moreover, Ye Wenjie’s casting greatly compromised the storytelling.
How could our "Chosen Goddess" Ye Wenjie have such a vicious and ruthless look?
And the elderly version of Ye Wenjie, not to mention. The extreme and cold character of
shows that the screenwriter does not really understand the core of "The Three-Body Problem" at all.
Even the so-called "initiator" is full of compassion, still has hope for mankind, and his eyes are full of light.
From the foreign media’s evaluation of the mainland online drama "The Three-Body Problem", it is enough to know that they will never understand the spiritual core of the Chinese people.
"The animation is bland" and "the overall production quality is mediocre". These are just superficial. It is the wonderful portrayal of the actors that makes such a masterpiece that is full of praise.
And they don’t really understand the characters, so naturally they don’t think the actors’ performance is outstanding.
borrowed an empty shell, and everything was magically modified, except for Ye Wenjie, who had an oriental face. I think everyone has already figured out what he was thinking.
Of course, then again, judging from the trailer, the special effects of the American version of "The Three-Body Problem" are indeed good, and a lot of cost was lost.
As for what the film will look like, are you looking forward to it?
