Liu Cixin called Shanghai fortress a victim: it is not as unbearable as it is said on the Internet

​&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; In this year's Chinese film circle, science fiction film is undoubtedly a topic that can always attract attention. From the great success of "wandering the earth" during the Spring Festival to the great controversy caused by "Shanghai fortress" in August: the audience cheered the arrival of "the first year of Chinese science fiction films" and denounced "the door of domestic science fiction films has been closed".

In this regard, Liu Cixin has his own views.

For "Shanghai fortress", Liu Cixin frankly said that it is a "normal science fiction film". He also said: "it is not as unbearable as it is said on the network. The lower the score of the network, the lower the score. It is not a normal direction. I think it may be a victim. We need a lot of films like wandering the earth and Shanghai fortress. We need a lot of attempts to accumulate experience and drive our whole industry. "

Obviously, Liu Cixin sees further.

"Don't worry too much. Chinese science fiction films need time."

Liu Cixin still believes that China's science fiction films and even China's science fiction industry have just started.

In an interview, Liu Cixin admitted that domestic science fiction films are almost "bottlenecks everywhere." The entire film industry is not particularly familiar with all aspects of science fiction films, from scripts and special effects to directors, including the overall framework of film production. "

'so we need to study hard. But I think as long as we use the Chinese love of learning in this area, we should make rapid progress. "

In his opinion, the key to the success of science fiction films is difficult to say clearly in one or two sentences. " Because films have different styles, creation is very different, and they face different audiences. But as long as it can arouse some emotional resonance of the audience in the story and vision of the film, it is success. "

success? That's not my success. It's due to the times

Liu Cixin is very modest about the success of the film "wandering the earth": "wandering the earth" is the success of the film, not the success of the novel, not my success, but the success of the filmmakers. I took advantage of it. "

He told reporters that when the novel was published in the 1990s, "not many people knew it." Who cares about it except science fiction readers? No one knew for the next 20 years, but now people all over the country really know. So as a science fiction writer, I am very grateful to the film. "

However, Liu Cixin believes that these successes should also be attributed to this era.

"The reason for the prosperity of Chinese science fiction lies in the great era. This era full of a sense of the future will attract people's attention to science fiction."
