In 1980, "Dead Light on Coral Island" (hereinafter referred to as "Coral Island") was born as the first domestic sci-fi movie. Despite its crude technical conditions, its appearance still represents the spirit of brave attempts to "sci-fi" by Chinese films in the new era. At that time, there was a gap in the genre of science fiction movies in China.
After nearly forty years have passed, at the opening ceremony of the first Blue Planet Science Fiction Film Week on November 16 this year, the 77-year-old actor Qiao Zhen and the heroine Ma Junqin in "Coral Island" received the "Blue Planet Qiming Award" "The trophy"-this is an award that has been "late" for 40 years. Before that, there has never been a special science fiction film award in China that has given "Coral Island" the honor and recognition it deserves. "Forty years after filming "Coral Island", we finally reunited in Nanjing, on the'Blue Planet'." Two old actors shared with everyone on stage.
The popular domestic science fiction movie "Wandering Earth" in the Spring Festival this year has won over 4.6 billion box office results and a high audience reputation. It is called a pioneering work that opened the door to Chinese science fiction films. Since then, practitioners And the audience's enthusiasm for domestic science fiction movies was ignited, and the industry's attention to science fiction, an important film type, is also unprecedentedly strong. Therefore, the emergence of a science fiction film week belonging to the Chinese mainland seems to be at the right time.
is also due to the appearance of the first Blue Planet Science Fiction Film Week, which belongs to the old but unforgettable works such as "Coral Island" and "Thunderbolt Beibei", and was able to stand back on the stage of being awarded glory. The forums, master classes, and screenings in the film week will focus on the discussion, sharing and research of sci-fi movies, and to some extent will become the starting place for more and more sci-fi film practitioners in the future.
"Light on the top of the mountain"
arrived at the "Blue Planet" on the first day, I received a "ship ticket". The Blue Planet Science Fiction Film Week is held in the Niushou Mountain Scenic Area in Nanjing, and there is neither a river nor a sea in the mountains, which makes me confused about the "ship ticket" in my hand.
When the car drove around Niushou Mountain on the winding road to the top of the mountain, standing in front of it was an artificial blue "dome", which looked like a small planet in the vast universe from a distance. "Planet" is the venue for the science fiction night of the opening ceremony of this science fiction movie week-I suddenly understood the meaning of this "ship ticket", which is the "ship" of the spacecraft. We board the cabin with the ticket and then go to the science fiction " Blue Planet".
After all, in excellent sci-fi movie works at home and abroad, the universe and the planet are often inevitable elements. Therefore, the admission setting of the Blue Planet Sci-Fi Film Week seems both novel and fit the theme. Not only that, unlike many award ceremonies and evening parties, there is a long “blue carpet” at the entrance of this “planet”. Many film directors, actors and investors who are no strangers to walking on the red carpet Fangs, for the first time stepped on the "blue carpet". And this setting is also a unique feature of "Blue Planet" as the first science fiction movie week in China.
"I have always had a desire to be laughed at when I talk to others, but here I want to tell you, I hope that when an alien visits the earth for the first time, I can be the host People." Zeng Baoyi said at the end of the opening ceremony "Before Tomorrow" speech. The Organizing Committee of this film week awarded the "Blue Planet·Most Scientific Spirit Award" to the documentary film "Before Tomorrow" produced by Tencent News, and Zeng Baoyi, as the main creator and host of the film, won the Award for the best scientific image communicator.
In such an occasion centered on the dream of science fiction movies, Zeng Baoyi's "unrealistic" desire won applause from the audience, whether it is an elderly actor or a science fiction enthusiast in middle school, or a science fiction writer , The young new director, when these people who are full of perseverance and pursuit of science fiction movies gather in the "Blue Planet", all "dreams" become reasonable and reasonable-the light from the top of Niushou Mountain that night may be exactly what it is now The light of hope in Chinese science fiction movies. On the second day of the opening ceremony of
, the localization of Chinese sci-fi movies, the Blue Planet's annual forum titled "Apocalypse for the first year of Chinese sci-fi movies: Oriental sci-fi exploration in a global context" was also launched in Niushou Mountain Scenic Area. Science fiction films from China, Japan, Britain and Spain were all present. Judging from the guest lineup of the forum, this is a discussion with an international perspective.
It is true that they are earlier than Western countries that are the birthplace of science fictionThey have been exploring and experimenting with science fiction, and have left audiences with many wonderful and outstanding science fiction works for decades. At this point, they are the ones who are in the forefront. However, Chinese science fiction movies are in addition to learning from existing experience. In addition to borrowing, practitioners are more likely to point keywords to "localization." How does
realize the localization of domestic science fiction movies?
is awarded to many young directors who have just completed their sci-fi debuts, and in the venture capital links of major film festivals and film festivals across the country, their works are often mixed in feature films, literary and artistic films, and other genres, and it is difficult to be focused on alone. . "Although my project is not very mature yet, winning the prize is an unprecedented encouragement for me, making me firmer on this path and working hard to grind out real science fiction works." said a new director.
"Nowadays, many Chinese cultural creatives have many outstanding young people. Young creatives in their 20s and 30s are also at the forefront. Last year, I cooperated with my Chinese friends to jointly produce an animation. In the future, we I will continue to create more sci-fi movies and sci-fi animations, communicate with Chinese, European and American designers, and create more exquisite works together.” Said Kawamori at the forum.
