Chapter 288 of "The Three-Body Problem": 10,000 extras!

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

[Our country finally has a decent sci-fi movie!]

That teaser trailer was absolutely amazing; it feels like industrial cinema is about to experience a major resurgence.

I'm definitely going to see this movie and buy a ticket. I have absolute respect for director Song Hao.

Whether in the past or present, Song Hao is a master of Chinese science fiction films.

I really hope we can see all those scenes from the trailer in the final movie, especially that "the universe twinkles for you" line—it's so romantic, yet carries a sense of destruction.

I had imagined this kind of game content a long time ago, and I never expected that Song Hao's directorial work would completely match my imagination a few years later.

[Absolutely amazing! If the entire movie could reach this level, then "The Three-Body Problem" would definitely be a success.]

Domestic filmmakers got goosebumps after watching the pilot episode.

They couldn't understand how Song Hao had managed to create such a work, and even considered using the somewhat inappropriate term "masterpiece" to describe it.

In particular, how exactly are those dazzling special effects in movies created?
The visual effects were so stunning, they were absolutely amazing.

As a result, Chinese filmmakers have begun to doubt themselves. They are all in the same industry, yet they don't understand industrial cinema at all, and their vision is too short-sighted.

I never imagined that Chinese films could produce such a masterpiece.

Some knowledgeable filmmakers know that Song Hao's new film "The Three-Body Problem" cost a lot of money, and there was a shortage of funds in the early stages of production. If it weren't for the later increase in investment, the Three-Body Problem project would have been forced to stop.

Looking back now, it seems that the money was really well spent.

The visual effects presented feel ahead of their time.

In the field of industrial films, Song Hao doesn't need anyone to give him fame; he is already number one in China.

Those who try to extort money simply don't exist in the face of true strength.

Unless you can also create a work as great as "The Three-Body Problem"!

They truly are silent until they make a stunning statement.

When "The Three-Body Problem" was first being produced, people just knew that such a thing existed, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

The level of shock is no less than when the trailer for Star Wars: Episode VI came to China.

I can't believe it!
This is actually an industrial film independently produced in China.

It's terrifying. Director Song Hao and his team have single-handedly pushed Chinese industrial cinema forward by twenty years.

What a prodigy! The fact that China was able to produce "The Three-Body Problem" is a boon to all Chinese filmmakers.

Clear Vision signed a contract with Electric Sail Studio in its early days, it seems they were just waiting for this day.

Song Hao has been holding back a big move.

Such a forward-thinking filmmaker, I really don't know in what way anyone can beat him.

The special effects are amazing, and the character models are incredibly three-dimensional.

Not only in China, but also on a global scale, the film "The Three-Body Problem" is a top-tier production.

The title of "Star Wars: Episode VI" has been confirmed; the domestic translation will be "The Last Star Wars".

The Hollywood production team is incredibly arrogant. With the previous Star Wars film grossing over 10 billion dollars, they hope that the sixth installment, Magic Wars, will achieve the same success and break the global box office record.

In the interview, the creative team also proudly stated, "This time, we're aiming to break the two billion dollar mark at the box office!"

The trailer for Star Wars: Episode VI has been out for quite some time now. When the trailer for The Three-Body Problem came out, Warner Bros. didn't take it seriously at first, but after watching it out of curiosity, they were completely taken aback.

"Was this really created independently by Chinese people?"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"incredible!"

"The most crucial thing is how to capture the game footage, Song Hao? How did he even manage that?!"

Have to pay attention to it.

The Three-Body Problem project has been burning through money since its inception, aiming to rival the Star Wars series.

If the actual movie's effects are just like the trailer, then China's industrial film industry has truly made a leap forward, skipping many steps to produce a film like "The Three-Body Problem."

A pilot episode shocked the world.

South Korea and Japan also saw the pilot episode. In the years before Song Hao appeared, their films had always been at the pinnacle of Asian cinema, with a highly developed film industry and frequent awards at international film festivals.

But since Song Hao's emergence, global audiences' perceptions of Asian cinema have shifted somewhat. Chinese director Song Hao has swept all international awards, rightfully earning the title of Asia's leading filmmaker. And now he's producing another film like this—it's terrifying! The global film industry is stunned.

The story of "The Three-Body Problem" is already halfway through, and the most stunning game visual is the human-computer interface! Whenever you see such a scene, you have to admire the creator's imagination.

This is a famous scene from the novel "The Three-Body Problem"!

Von Neumann suggested that Qin Shi Huang arrange for 30 million soldiers to form a super-large human-shaped calculator, using red and white light signals to represent the most basic binary operations of the computer, namely those logic gate circuits.

You need to have some understanding of computer organization principles to think of using people as components; that's terrifying imagination.

The Three-Body Problem not only introduces the concept, but also provides a clear configuration method.

Like the important components in a computer, the CPU is composed of five elite legions, the hard drive is composed of three million highly educated people, and the bus is used by cavalry legions to transmit information and display arrays.

Computer soldiers are further divided into three types: basic soldiers, technical soldiers, and cavalry.

Anyone with a basic understanding of computers will know about von Neumann.

Every programmer should respectfully call John von Neumann their patriarch, because he laid the foundation of the computer world, also known as the von Neumann architecture.

Use people as units.

In this scene, von Neumann directs Qin soldiers to perform extensive data calculations, determining the patterns of the Constant Era and the Chaotic Era.

"This scene probably can't be entirely done with CG effects."

Song Hao remembered that the Three-Body Problem TV series used motion capture technology and virtual cloaking technology.

"Not only that, if we use CG technology for everything, the impact of the iconic scenes will be greatly reduced. We still need to use live actors to film them."

They aim to produce high-quality films, striving for stunning scenes and sparing no expense in terms of financial and human resources.

For this scene, the Three-Body Problem creative team held a three-day meeting, supporting the use of live-action footage, although the director also suggested using CG technology.

Filming with live actors would be far too labor-intensive. The Three-Body Problem creative team was well aware that if they made a poorly made version, it would be laughed at by international audiences. They'd already made their bold claim; there was no going back.

Therefore, Chen Ming, the producer of The Three-Body Problem, contacted the military immediately and first approached the film studio.

Everyone must work hard for this historical drama.

"You're saying the Three-Body Problem movie needs 10,000 soldiers? My goodness, Director Song really dares to ask such a question."

"Isn't that an industrial science fiction movie? Why are they using soldiers?"

The August First Film Studio also found it unbelievable that Song Hao wanted 10,000 soldiers.

Although he verbally expressed disdain for Song Hao, he understood the importance of the Three-Body Problem film and carefully read the script.

"Yes, we do need that many people."

"A humanoid computer composed of three thousand Qin soldiers is indeed inadequate; the conversion would require at least ten thousand."

"Indeed, this is the only way to film this scene!"

"Consider it a contribution to the film industry."

After multiple approvals, the military dispatched an entire division to support Song Hao in making the Three-Body Problem movie, totaling more than 10,000 people!
Just like carrying out a combat mission, all soldiers have to cooperate with Director Song Hao's arrangements.

Officers with rank in the division will also play important roles in the film, which is completely in line with history.

The TV series adaptation of The Three-Body Problem doesn't emphasize which generals were used by the human-computer system; they were all unsung heroes. The series only highlights the awe-inspiring scenes.

However, Song Hao decided to handle this detail well, inserting a 30-second shot to introduce several generals under King Ying Zheng of Qin. These generals were played by important officers from the 129th Division, who also got to experience acting in Song Hao's film.

"Director Song, you really dare to think and act."

Song Hao was bold; not only did he dare to borrow people from the military, but he also felt that he could handle such a grand occasion.

The difficulty level of the shot is extremely high.

According to the script, von Neumann explained to each Qin Dynasty soldier how this giant computer worked.

Under the guidance of the film crew, more than 10,000 soldiers learned how to film this scene. They would use red and white lights to simulate computer binary code.

Soldiers have exceptional execution capabilities and are extremely serious about their work.

Some soldiers who understood the requirements began explaining them to those who didn't.

In less than a morning, all the soldiers in the division knew how to complete the scene.

They will act as instructed as soon as the director gives the order.

More than ten thousand people were all arranged according to the plan. (End of Chapter)
