Chapter 1313: The romance of science and engineering thinking
In the quiet study, Zhao Jinglun held the script in his hand, motionless.
The opening of "The Wandering Earth" explains the background of the story through the perspective of a pair of siblings, Liu Qi and Han Duoduo.
The story takes place in the near future. Scientists discover that the sun is rapidly aging and expanding, and the entire solar system, including the earth, will be swallowed up.
In order to continue human civilization, the global united government proposed a bold plan called "The Wandering Earth".
"Build 10,000 planetary engines on the surface of the earth to push the earth to stop its rotation and escape from the solar system..." When reading this paragraph, Zhao Jinglun's hand trembled slightly.
I was struck by this idea!
At this point, he was already immersed in the story and read on. He found that "The Wandering Earth" was planned to be divided into five stages.
Braking era: using planetary engines to stop the Earth's rotation.
Escape era: Run the engine at full power to escape from the solar orbit.
Wandering Era (Acceleration): Use the sun's gravitational slingshot effect to accelerate towards Proxima Centauri.
Wandering Era (Slowdown): After approaching the target, turn the engine direction to slow down.
New Solar Era: The Earth enters the orbit of Proxima Centauri and becomes its satellite.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinglun felt as if an electric current was passing through his body. A shiver rose from his coccyx and reached his forehead. His entire scalp felt numb, and then the feeling spread throughout his body.
At this point, he had completely abandoned his original idea and was impressed by the huge imagination in the story setting...
Zhao Jinglun took a deep breath and subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it. He had the habit of smoking when thinking.
Continuing to watch, during the execution of the plan, when the Earth was accelerating with the help of Jupiter's gravity, the planetary engine malfunctioned due to abnormal solar activity. The Earth was captured by Jupiter's gravity, gradually deviated from its orbit, and faced the danger of falling into Jupiter.
"Roche limit..." Zhao Jinglun murmured these words over and over again.
This is a theory proposed by French astronomer Roche: if a small celestial body is too close to a large celestial body, the tidal force on objects on the small celestial body will exceed the gravity of the small celestial body itself, and the small celestial body will be torn apart.
The "Roche limit" refers to this critical distance.
Zhao Jinglun was shocked beyond measure when he read that in order to escape the predicament, humans launched a global "saturation rescue" and tried to ignite Jupiter and use the thrust of Jupiter's explosion to push the earth away.
At this moment, he was completely convinced by this story.
In other words, there is no man who would not be impressed by what is presented in the story.
Tragic, tragic, responsible, sentimental...
Through the thin pieces of paper with black words on a white background in his hands, he seemed to see a kind of romance unique to scientific and engineering thinking hidden in the grand and cold background.
This kind of romance does not appeal to love and romance, but melts precise calculations, physical laws and human survival into an epic of the sea of stars...
On the other side, in the living room.
There had been no movement since Zhao Jinglun walked into the study. More than two hours had passed and his wife finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Weimin, go in and call your dad."
"Just now you kept saying it would be quick, but it's almost eleven o'clock at night and you haven't finished watching it yet."
Zhao Weimin smiled bitterly. He knew his father's style. He probably would devote himself to work and forget about time.
If I disturb her now, I might get scolded, but my mother is right. I should have a good rest during the holidays. What urgent matter must I watch tonight?
While thinking about this, Zhao Weimin had already walked to the study and knocked on the door a few times.
"dad?"
There was silence inside the room, no response. Zhao Jinglun was puzzled and gently pushed open the half-open door. The scene inside surprised him.
Inside the room, Zhao Jinglun sat at the desk, holding the script that he had just printed out for him in one hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes staring at it in deep thought, and a cigarette in the other hand.
Zhao Jinglun was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that the cigarette was almost burned out.
There were four or five extinguished cigarette butts next to his hands, indicating that Zhao Jinglun had been maintaining this posture for a while.
"Dad!" Zhao Weimin hurriedly took a few steps forward, took the cigarette that was almost burning his hand and put it out.
"Hmm?" Zhao Jinglun looked up and found Zhao Weimin. "Oh, Weimin, what's wrong?"
"When did you come in?"
Zhao Weimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Dad, you didn't respond when I knocked on the door just now."
"What script are you reading? You're so engrossed in it. It's getting late. You should go to bed early and continue reading tomorrow."
"What script...Yes! Script!" Zhao Jinglun was stunned for half a second, then reacted and said excitedly.
"This story is well-written! This movie must be made! And it must be made well!"
"Once it's filmed, it will be a milestone in Chinese science fiction films and will be of extraordinary significance!"
Science fiction movie? Zhao Weimin was stunned.
Although he did not follow his father into the film and television industry, he has some understanding of the industry through observation and learning, and knows that science fiction films, especially domestic science fiction films, are not easy to make.
Moreover, he rarely saw his father so excited about a script, so how good must the story be?
Milestones and the like...are they a bit exaggerated? But judging by my father's reaction, it doesn't seem fake.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Weimin looked over the script.
On the cover, "The Wandering Earth" is particularly eye-catching.
......
Zhao Jinglun's reply was faster than expected. Ye Zhiqiu received a call from him early the next morning.
"According to the script, the scenes of this movie will be very grand. What is the budget for the production cost and how is the fundraising situation?" Zhao Jinglun asked directly.
Ye Zhiqiu did not hide anything and briefly explained the current situation.
When he heard that only less than 20% of the funds had been raised and Ye Zhiqiu was ready to cover the bottom himself, Zhao Jinglun frowned and continued, "The market environment for domestic science fiction films is not good, the cost is high and the return rate is uncertain, so it is normal for investors to have concerns."
"I know a few investors, and I'll contact them to see if they're interested."
"By the way." At this point, Zhao Jinglun smiled and said, "I'll take the job of supervisor."
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed. With his current experience, it was indeed difficult to direct and act in such a large-scale production by himself, but with Zhao Jinglun's assistance, he would be much more confident, and at least he would not be in a rush.
After confirming to join the crew, Zhao Jinglun quickly got into the state and started various tasks in full swing.
There is still a lot of work to be done in the early stages of preparation for "The Wandering Earth", including casting. At present, only Ye Zhiqiu himself has been confirmed as an actor, and it will take some time before the official filming begins.
Prior to this, "Hello! Mr. Tree" had also completed post-production and was officially submitted for review.
