Chapter 38 science fiction

2000/04/28 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Hong Huang Christine said, "The Chinese movies I have seen are all about the past, I mean, we in the United States like to make science fiction movies, like "Black Super SWAT Team" (Men In Black) and "The Fifth Element" (The Fifth Element). Fifth Element) or something, China does not have, You know, science fiction stuff. "Is there?" Although I think this yellow-haired girl is quite right, although she has never been to any place north of the Pearl River in China, I still have to "carry" it: "I watched a Hong Kong movie, it seems a bit Things like the future, with robots and stuff."

"That doesn't count," countered Christine. "The kind of movie you're talking about is like ET. It's just fantasy, not science fiction. " "So what's science fiction?" I asked. "Science fiction must imagine the future world, including the future social, political, and economic structures, which must be different from today's. If it is just a future thing that comes to today's society, it doesn't count. "ET" doesn't count , "Star Wars." I have a habit of changing the subject whenever I can't talk to others. "You said, it's strange. Even if we don't have the ability to imagine, what we do is more fantasy than fantasy. For example, China's economic development in recent years has surpassed anyone's imagination. When I was young, I never thought that China could develop. This is how it is today. Besides, if you think about the Three Gorges Project, how could such a project exist without imagination?"

"What is the Three Gorges?" She is so ignorant.I proudly spent three bowls of coffee with milk and introduced to her the long history of the Three Gorges, the huge project and the bright future. "Are you so short of electricity?" This was her only comment to my hard-working words. "But," I am most afraid to say But, "The Three Gorges Project is based on reality, not fantasy." Christine said, "I will teach you what science fiction is. Let's put it this way, if you are asked to make a movie about the Three Gorges, you what to shoot?" "A feature film?" I asked.

"Feature film," she said firmly.There are only stories about Dayu and Dujiangyan in my mind.None of this can be said, it is all history, and it hits her right. "Go ahead." I asked her back. "That's too much, it's all science fiction. There can be a monster in the Three Gorges, just like the monster in Loch Ness in Scotland. This is a subject; there are so many immigrants from the Three Gorges, you can make a Chinese version of "Pioneer" (Mad Max), or "Waterworld," that's another subject; but the best thing would be to make a film like "Fahrenheit 450." "You mean Truffaut's futuristic fire brigade A movie about burning books?" "That's right," Christine began to get into character. "Imagine the success of the Three Gorges Project, but there is one problem. The power supply is too much. If it does not consume 80%, the power station is in danger of exploding. Therefore, under the supervision of the fire brigade, every household must light up lights day and night, and live in light forever. , what does it feel like? What a sci-fi movie!"

"Whimsical." I said in Chinese.
