Jointly produced by the China Science and Technology Museum and "Our Space", China's first giant-screen real-life special effects science popularization film "Mission to Mars" with astronauts as the theme was launched on the giant screen of the China Science and Technology Museum on the morning of April 20, 2024. Premiere held in theaters. This is also an important part of the science and technology unit of the 14th Beijing International Film Festival, the special effects film screening of the China Science and Technology Museum and the Space Day series of the China Science and Technology Museum. The
event attracted more than 400 aerospace science and technology workers, primary and secondary school students, and families to participate in the event. This visual and knowledge feast was shared with the public through popular science China, China Digital Science and Technology Museum, Baijiahao, Douyin and other platforms. National audience.
This premiere event invited heavyweight guests such as Precambrian geologist, researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zhai Mingguo to help out. Before watching the movie, Tong Feizhou, the lead actor of the film and astronaut instructor of the China Astronaut Center, and Li Xinhong, a member of Green Space Interstellar Team B, led the audience to experience a wonderful "Astronaut Selection Experience" activity. The audience was in a relaxed and lively atmosphere I learned about Mars exploration and astronaut selection, and experienced the difficulty and challenges of astronaut training. During the post-screening exchange session, many of the main creative staff took the stage to have a conversation, making the premiere event successfully conclude in an atmosphere of excitement and knowledge.
Guo Zhe, director of the China Science and Technology Museum, said that "Mission to Mars" not only shows the significance of human exploration of space and Mars, but also shows the efforts and dedication of great scientists and engineers in the aerospace field. The movie will inspire more young people to love science. And devote themselves to science and technology and assume important missions in the future. Academician Zhai Mingguo, the scientific advisor of this film, explains the relationship between Mars and earth science research, and encourages young people to look up to the stars, keep their feet on the ground, and pursue new knowledge. After the film was played, the film's leading actors Tong Feizhou and Zhao Chuanwen, Mr. Zheng Hu, chairman of the Children's Film Working Committee of the China Filmmakers Association, and Jiang Yun, deputy director of the Science Popularization Film and Television Center of the China Science and Technology Museum, had live exchanges with the audience. Chairman Zheng Hu said that "Mission to Mars" transforms the knowledge of astronauts and Mars into a real-life storyline, effectively disseminating scientific knowledge and scientific spirit, and is a work worth looking forward to.
The film "Mission to Mars" is directed by the well-known director Songtaka. It was inspired by the "Green Spacecraft" controlled ecological life-saving simulation test of the China Astronaut Center, and the production team Jiaxing Yizu Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. took five years to create it carefully. The film mainly tells about the choices of aerospace science and technology workers in the face of career and family, and praises their noble feelings of abandoning their families for the country for the sake of the motherland's aerospace industry.
As a popular science drama, "Mission to Mars" not only introduces a large amount of scientific knowledge related to Mars exploration and astronaut selection, but also focuses on the lives of astronauts, telling the family stories of Chinese astronauts from the perspective of children. The film has assembled many academicians and senior experts including Ouyang Ziyuan, Wei Fengsi, Zhai Mingguo, Zhou Kanghan, Lan Ningyuan, etc. as the film's scientific consultants. The shooting was assisted by units such as the China Astronaut Center, Jinchang Municipal Committee and Municipal Government of the Communist Party of China, Jinchang Association for Science and Technology, Nanyang Association for Science and Technology, Shenzhen Lvhang Interstellar Space Technology Research Institute, (Jinchang) Mars 1 Base and other units. It is worth mentioning that the heroine of the film is played by its prototype, astronaut instructor Tong Feizhou himself, retired astronaut Pan Zhanchun, and participants in the "Green Space Interstellar" controlled ecological life-saving simulation test, Roger and Li Xinhong, etc. Playing an important role in the film can be described as a "star-studded gathering".
