Huayu 05, our science fiction movie universe

hum~
When Shi Qiang pressed the button, the ground beneath his feet, along with the alien base and the entire moon, began to tremble slightly.

At the same time, an invisible pressure also appeared in their hearts. It felt like standing outside during a thunderstorm with dark clouds overhead, feeling extremely oppressed.

Then, the strange feeling disappeared.

Nothing happened?
"This thing won't last long, will it break?" Zhao Xiumei asked doubtfully.

Everyone looked at Chen Ang and then realized that his figure was flickering like a disturbed projection.

"It's already...activated, but...it seems we need to let...the attack...fly for a while."

Chen Ang spoke haltingly, clearly indicating that his quantum state had been disturbed by invisible gravitational fluctuations.

And just like him, the sophons of the Trisolaran civilization also sometimes expand, sometimes contract, sometimes are flattened, and sometimes are stretched.

However, this unusual change quickly disappeared. At this moment, Huang Ji turned on his communicator, and after a series of interference noises, the connection was re-established. Everyone in the United Government on the other end, including Luo Ji, looked at them with tense expressions.

Huang Ji nodded, and Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Of course, he hadn't relaxed yet, because he still needed to confirm whether the gravitational wave weapon could actually destroy the Trisolaran space fleet.

Fortunately, the Ringer-Fitzroy Telescope on Earth should be able to observe their final burst of light in space.

Next, the United Government on Earth eliminated the dying remnants of the ETO and members of the Illuminati. On the moon, Sophon disappeared without a trace, and Dr. Chen Ang vanished without even saying goodbye to Shi Qiang and the others.

Shi Qiang and his team successfully returned to the lunar base and took a rocket back to Earth. However, upon landing, they did not receive a hero's welcome but were instead placed under the supervision of the United Government.

Although the Chinese government supported them at the last moment, Shi Qiang's pressing of that button was still a crime against humanity under the law.

So, as soon as they stepped out of the return capsule, each of them was detained and interrogated.

The investigating authorities need to know the specific circumstances at the time in order to assess whether this matter was necessary.

After the investigation and interrogation, a joint government inquiry session awaits them.

At the conference, many people questioned their behavior, while Shi Qiang and others argued their case, resulting in a very interesting verbal exchange.

It was at this time that China presented the scene observed by the Ringer-Fitzroy telescope.

The footage shows that the gravitational waves emitted by the lunar weapon did indeed have an effect, and the Trisolaran space fleet suffered heavy damage.

Although they received the message from the Sophon and adjusted their course, most of their ships were destroyed, and a few were severely damaged, making it impossible for them to continue their expedition.

However, this good news was quickly overshadowed by an investigation report from the United States.

According to observations and measurements by American scientists, the rate of burning inside the sun has significantly increased since the lunar weapon was activated.

Therefore, Chen Ang's calculations were correct; the activation of lunar weapons would indeed have extremely serious effects on the sun and the sun.

This fact undoubtedly makes the guilt of Shi Qiang and others even heavier.

Fortunately, after the vote, the coalition government did not convict Shi Qiang and others.

Cartel, as the speaker of the coalition government meeting, gave the final summary.

Human beings have never lacked the courage to face difficulties, nor have they lacked the yearning for freedom.

When a crisis occurs, each of us has the right to make the most appropriate choice for the future of humanity.

Just like Mr. Luo Ji's "All-People Wallfacers" plan, since we choose to trust the people, such a legitimate decision should not be criticized.

Therefore, I hereby declare that Shi Qiang and others are innocent!

At the end of "The Three-Body Problem 2", Luo Ji, Shi Qiang and others are still standing on Jinggang Mountain. However, under the setting sun, a huge construction site is taking shape among the distant mountains.

"What are you doing?"

"The Earth is about to be destroyed, we have to find a new way out."

With this, The Three-Body Problem 2 officially came to an end.

This also means that the third phase of the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe], [The Dark Forest], has come to an end.

Therefore, when the audience came out of the screening room, most of them felt a little disappointed, as if a TV series they had been following for a long time had suddenly ended.

Although the ending of the movie suggests that the Galaxy Cinematic Universe will have a fourth phase, and that this fourth phase is said to involve another work by Liu Cixin, "The Wandering Earth," after following the cinematic universe for so long, everyone has released all the emotions they had accumulated before with the conclusion of this third phase.

Oh, right, there's actually a post-credits scene after the movie ends, but unlike the previous ones, this one doesn't involve any new movie content. Instead, it's a retrospective of the entire [Galaxy Cinematic Universe].

As the end credits rolled and the cast and crew list scrolled through the credits, behind-the-scenes footage of the production of various films was released, starting with "Buried" and continuing with "The Shallows," "The Call," "Source Code," "Inception," "Taken," "Transcendence," "Wolf Warrior," "Ball Lightning," "The Wallfacer," "The Three-Body Problem," and "Operation Red Sea."

There were laughter and tears, difficulties and breakthroughs, hard work and high technology. However, no matter how difficult the process was, it was the path that Wang Hao and his team had come from.

This film, which concludes the series, raked in 6.4 million yuan at the box office on its opening day, becoming the new number one in domestic film history and breaking Wang Hao's previous record.

After that, the rest of the summer movie season almost entirely became the stage for "The Three-Body Problem 2," with its box office figures in mainland China climbing steadily for several consecutive days, and tickets for many cinemas being hard to come by.

Meanwhile, online, the controversy and discussion surrounding "The Three-Body Problem 2" continues unabated. On one hand, some people feel that the film's plot is not good enough, failing to play a crucial role in concluding the entire series. They feel the content is somewhat superficial, lacks epic scale, and is too rushed, falling short of "Avengers: Endgame."

On the other hand, some viewers felt that the core message of "The Three-Body Problem 2" was satisfactory. The spirit of human self-improvement was a recurring theme throughout the film, and the battle between the Three-Body fleet and the Jedi-Tiantong alliance and Shi Qiang four thousand five hundred years ago formed a closed loop, proving how correct Emperor Zhuanxu's actions were.

The controversy is significant, and this controversy has translated into box office success, attracting more moviegoers to buy tickets and go to the cinema even with limited ticket subsidies.

5 million... 10 billion... 15 billion... 20 billion...

The box office of "The Three-Body Problem 2" rose rapidly, and its overall trend almost instantly reminded people of the previous "Ne Zha 2".

Most people are even speculating whether they will be able to witness another miracle similar to "Ne Zha 2", and many are looking forward to it.

Moreover, compared to the subtle resistance to "Ne Zha 2" from industry insiders, "The Three-Body Problem 2" has received a lot of strong support and praise from industry insiders, including many artists who are no less famous than those from Xinghe Group.

Unfortunately, the entertainment industry is experiencing a downturn, and it needs blockbusters like "The Three-Body Problem 2" to revitalize the market and attract audiences to the cinemas.

Previously, "Ne Zha 2" was an animated film, and the actors were in a position to compete for jobs, so it was understandable that they weren't well-received.

The success of "The Three-Body Problem 2" has attracted attention from many actors who are in the industry and have many friends. Their success demonstrates that live-action films still have a market, which naturally leads to other actors trying to capitalize on the hype and provide assistance.

Moreover, it is said that Galaxy Pictures' "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" has a fourth and fifth phase, and many of the actors in the previous phases have already completed their historical missions.

For example, important male leads like Liu Peiqiang, who played "Leng Feng," and actors like Detective Chinatown have almost all gradually retired from the stage. So, the new stage will inevitably require new roles and new actors.

And who wouldn't want to be a part of this sure-fire blockbuster movie series?

In addition to the celebrities and moviegoers who are enthusiastic about "The Three-Body Problem 2", the official channels are also sparing no effort in promoting and praising the film.

The most dedicated among them was an unexpected "figure"—China's aerospace sector.

Because in "The Three-Body Problem 2", the Chinese lunar base "Guanghan Palace" was given many close-up shots, which can be regarded as a significant publicity for China's lunar landing program.

In response, the aerospace publicity department also took the initiative to cooperate with Xinghe Group, adding fuel to the fire of the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem 2".

With such comprehensive and multi-faceted promotion, "The Three-Body Problem 2" grossed 21 billion yuan in its opening week, 36 billion yuan in its second week, and 23 billion yuan in its third week...

Ultimately, after a one-month delay in its release, "The Three-Body Problem 2" successfully surpassed the 10 billion yuan mark at the box office, becoming the first live-action film in Chinese film history to break the 10 billion yuan mark, breaking the record previously set by Wang Hao himself.

If we add the overseas box office performance of "The Three-Body Problem 2", the film's global box office even surpassed "Ne Zha 2" and "Titanic", ranking third in global film history with a box office of 173 billion RMB, second only to "Avatar" and "Avengers: Endgame".

Because of this, many people online have been openly or indirectly mocking that "The Three-Body Problem 2" is inferior to "Avengers: Endgame" and that the "Star Trek Cinematic Universe" is not as good as the "Marvel Cinematic Universe".

It's the same old story of another victory: Hollywood remains the global cultural center, and Disney is still the strongest and most powerful.

Galaxy Pictures didn't even bother to respond, after all, the lifespan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is visibly nearing its end.

When The Three-Body Problem 2 broke the 10 billion yuan mark at the domestic box office, Galaxy Pictures held an extremely grand celebration for the film.

Almost half of the entertainment industry came to support the event, and the red carpet at the celebration was more lively than many film festivals at home and abroad.

At the meeting, Wang Hao, chairman of Xinghe Group and director of "The Three-Body Problem 2", delivered a heartfelt speech, reviewing the company's and Xinghe Cinematic Universe's past development, as well as the hardships that Chinese science fiction films have come a long way.

Then, the contributions made by Galaxy Pictures to the domestic science fiction film genre over the years were affirmed, and the overall achievements of the third phase of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe were reported.

Overall, the achievements of the third phase of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, "The Dark Forest," are gratifying. It almost single-handedly boosted the overall market during a downturn in the Chinese film and television industry, making a significant contribution to the domestic film and television industry.

After Wang Hao finished speaking, members of the "Three-Body Problem 2" crew and other key creators from the "Dark Forest" series also took to the stage to speak. Finally, they all smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing 10 billion yuan in box office revenue, witnessing the establishment of a new milestone for Chinese live-action films.

Following the celebration party for "The Three-Body Problem 2", Galaxy Pictures held a press conference in front of numerous fans and media reporters to announce the fourth phase of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe.

At this press conference, Guo Fan stepped forward as a representative, and his appearance drew a flurry of flashes from the media.

Judging from this situation, everyone understands that the person in charge of the fourth phase of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe may be changing from Wang Hao to Guo Fan.

Afterwards, Guo Fan also revealed the subtitle of the fourth phase of the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe]: [The Braking Era].

Just seeing the name made some science fiction enthusiasts and Liu Cixin's book fans at the scene and in front of their computers and mobile phones cheer.

Because the "Braking Era" is a phase in Liu Cixin's novel "The Wandering Earth".

The "brake" here doesn't refer to a real brake, but rather to the Earth stopping its rotation.

Just as these people had predicted, Guo Fan then introduced the general content of the fourth phase of the cinematic universe, the "Brake Era." This phase tells the story of the period when the sun was rapidly expanding, and the efforts that humanity made to cope with the helium flash crisis.

Guo Fan then announced the works for the fourth phase of Galaxy Pictures' cinematic universe, which are now basically finalized.

Among them are works that use small details to illustrate larger themes, such as "The Chinese Sun," "Take Her Eyes," "The Last Race," and "The Repairman's Diary."

There are a series of sequels, including "Detective Chinatown 1905", "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", "The Three-Body Problem 3", and "Operation Red Sea 2".

Also included are the brand new blockbusters *Candle Dragon*, *Ready Player One*, *The Day of Braking*, *Moving Mountains*, *Geostorm*, and *Interstellar*.

Basically, every time Guo Fan announces the name of a film project, there is a burst of applause and cheers from the audience.

Because it's obvious to anyone that the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] is different from the [Marvel Cinematic Universe]. They still have substantial content to share, unlike Marvel, which only rehash old sequels. (End of Chapter)
