When talking about domestic science fiction films, "The Wandering Earth" must be indispensable. This movie completely changed everyone's impression of domestic science fiction, and the second part remained unabated, with a final box office of 4 billion and a Douban rating of 8.4. I believe that many viewers were completely shocked by the space elevator, planetary engine, and quantum computer in "The Wandering Earth". When faced with disasters, the fear comes not only from artificial intelligence.
The recently released domestic science fiction film "Space Exploration Editorial Department" has attracted more people to invest in the starry sea of science fiction, aiming to explore another path of Chinese science fiction. A mixed style, without the addition of young talents, top stars, or huge sums of money. But it captured a unique science fiction reality.
As popular film and television adaptations such as "The Three-Body Problem", "The Wandering Earth" and "Space Exploration Editorial" continue to dominate the screen, "science fiction" has become a hot word this spring, and science fiction online literary works have also leapt to the forefront of young people's attention. At the forefront of book lists or film lists, the widespread attention from all walks of life has allowed the science fiction genre to gradually get rid of its niche status and come to the center of public vision and the forefront of popular culture, entering into the hobbies and daily lives of young people.
The future of science fiction is closely related to our technological development process. The overlap between dreams and reality makes science fiction a very attractive expression. With the blessing of science and technology, science fiction is related to wisdom and entertainment, life and emotions, bringing a new realm to the wave of literature and art, adding a future dimension to history and reality, and it will open up the three-dimensional development world of literature and art. Both Internet literature and Internet film and television are future-oriented literary and artistic carriers, and the boom of science fiction is one of its important manifestations. IP with emotional attributes can help literary and artistic works move from the "1.0 era" that emphasizes reading and viewing experience to the "2.0 era" that emphasizes interactive experience. Science fiction will also empower literature, film, television, and games through IP, using the ability of science fiction to bring unique imaginative spaces to give appropriate imagination to existing carriers and stories.
At the recent Star Wars Celebration, EA released the latest game trailer for the space science fiction AAA game "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor". It's a third-person narrative-driven adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, which has given its final two minutes of footage ahead of its release at the end of the month. The video description reads: “The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivors, an epic new adventure that will push Cal further as he fights to protect Fight without the galaxy falling into darkness.” The trailer also features an interview with Respawn’s Stig Asmussen, who believes that what makes the game special is how it all comes together. We have a lot of different content, systems, and mechanics in the game. Seeing these merged together, and deepening our understanding of the world step by step through constant exposure to stories, makes people endlessly daydream, and at the same time encourages us to move forward with difficulty.
From "The Wandering Earth" to "The Three-Body Problem", from "Space Exploration Editorial Department" to "Star Wars", almost every science fiction work is a reflection and discussion on the ultimate destiny of mankind. In the science fiction universe, humans have to face the cruelty of the world and evolve in the face of crisis. To a certain extent, this is also a true portrayal of human development - constantly encountering crises and overcoming them to usher in a better future.
