Chapter 290 Rave Reviews
What followed was the interview session, where the main creators of the movie "The Three-Body Problem" took the stage to be interviewed by media reporters.

Liu Cixin also stepped forward as the author of the original novel and the screenwriter of the film (in name only).

"Hello, Mr. Liu, how did you come up with this story?"

To be honest, these reporters are somewhat accustomed to Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters.

Even if a movie ten times more shocking than this is released one day, they will not be too surprised. Instead, they will think that Director Jiang is a blockbuster producer!
I feel that the fact that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man can write a story like "The Three-Body Problem" with a super novel and grand setting has more publicity and selling points.

"Well, the idea for the novel The Three-Body Problem comes from a book on celestial mechanics, which introduces a "three-body problem" that simplifies the universe into three points with mass. These three points move in completely irregular ways under the influence of mass and gravity. What would the real world look like?

I first thought about this question, combined with some of my life experiences, and started to conceive of "a star system with three irregularly moving stars", and then slowly wrote the first part. Its original name was "The Past of Earth", and later it was changed to "Three Body"...!"

Liu spoke eloquently and was not at all stage-frightened.

Mainly because I have participated in some interview activities in the past two years, I have seen the world.

When asked by reporters whether the movie "The Three-Body Problem" was in line with his conception, Liu Cixin said with a little excitement: "I think I should be the luckiest one among science fiction writers. Not only can I see my works being adapted into movies and seen by audiences all over the world in my lifetime, but also because the film was shot so well. Director Jiang was able to perfectly present many contents and logics that I had not thought of in the book. I believe that this is the best movie about "The Three-Body Problem" in the world.

If there is anything better than this one, it must be the sequel directed by Jiang!"

At the end of her speech, Liu Cixin waved excitedly, which made some reporters so excited that they kept clicking pictures with their cameras, trying to think of a more eye-catching title.

There are also people who don't like Liu Cixin's speech, thinking it is a bit flattering and lacks the character of a scholar.

How much money did Jiang Heng give you that you praise him so much?

"Not only beautiful women can lie, but even seemingly honest men can't be trusted. This guy probably believes what he brags about!" A reporter curled his lips with a look of disdain.

Most of the creators standing on the stage were thinking, wow, this guy has a future!

Having said this, Director Jiang will definitely not treat him unfairly!
Therefore, when these people answered questions from the media, their words were more beautiful than the other. Even Jiang Wen was no exception and bluntly said that Jiang Heng was the "King of Chinese-language commercial films", and if he continued to shoot at this speed and with this quality, he would definitely become the "number one in global commercial films" and the "absolute king"!
The reporters and the audience became more and more excited, but Jiang Heng remained calm. He continued to express his gratitude and ended the event immediately.

The next day, many domestic entertainment media reported the news of the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem", and the movie channel naturally spoke highly of the film.

The emergence of the movie "The Three-Body Problem" is said to be the third peak of Chinese science fiction movies. The other two are naturally "The Matrix" series and "Inception".

I think that "Hackers" and "Inception" are indeed exciting, but in terms of scale, they are still smaller than "The Three-Body Problem", which depicts the war between human civilization on Earth and the Three-Body civilization.

It is believed that this film is unique in the history of world science fiction films, and Jiang Heng deserves the title of "Master of Science Fiction Films"...

Xinlang Entertainment took Liu Cixin as the starting point and explained in detail the origin of the novel and the impression of the film, which is an all-round shocking experience from vision to soul.

The reporter from Sohu Entertainment is Dapeng, who is currently hosting a talk show called "Dapeng Daba Daba".

But he was not satisfied with just being a host and was more eager to become an actor.

He had fought hard to get the interview opportunity at the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem".

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to talk to Jiang Heng at the event. The reason was simple: there were too many reporters at the scene, as many as five or six hundred people.

Dapeng was a little disappointed, and then he wrote a manuscript full of praise.

In the next episode of the talk show "Dapeng Debode", he shared his movie-watching experience and interesting things that happened at the event with the audience, which was surprisingly well received by the audience.

With the cooperation and promotion of a number of domestic media, "The Three-Body Problem" has become unprecedentedly popular, crushing other blockbusters released in the same period.

These include the action movie "The Warlords", which was jointly produced by China Film Group Corporation and Huanya Film Group, directed by Chen Kexin, and starred by Jet Li, Andy Lau, Jin Chengwu and others.

The film is scheduled to be released on December 12, nine days earlier than "The Three-Body Problem", and has now reached the most important promotion stage.

Han Sanping did not attend the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem" this time, but he knew the effect of the film.

I am somewhat worried about the box office prospects of "The Warlords".

But there is no other way. Currently, there are two best time periods in China: one is the summer vacation and the other is the New Year's Day.

"The Warlords" is also a blockbuster movie, it can't be released on May 1st or National Day!
I just hope that in the few days before “The Three-Body Problem” is released, it can earn more box office revenue!
"What's the current situation with Jiang Heng?"

He was in charge of the promotion of "The Warlords". The latter said: "It's in full swing. The crew members are screening in several cities in China. As for Director Jiang, he should be promoting it in the United States now!"

Han Sanping asked, "I heard that Europeans and Americans are quite familiar with The Three-Body Problem?"

"Yeah, I like it very much, mainly because many business and political celebrities have publicly expressed their support. I guess they feel more involved when watching it!"

Han Sanping sneered, "When European ships arrived in America, it was very similar to the invasion of the Earth by the Trisolaran civilization. They didn't shy away from it!"

The vice president laughed, "They have always advocated the law of the jungle, so of course they recognize the story of The Three-Body Problem!"

……

However, Jiang Heng and others' promotional activities in the United States were indeed enthusiastically sought after by some book and movie fans.

Many fanatical fans came to every press conference event. They had cloth strips on their heads with words of support written on them. If you didn’t know them well, you would think that these people were going to march!

The staff at Columbia, the company in charge of the film's promotion and distribution, also felt that "The Three-Body Problem" had the best market feedback on the eve of the film's release, and that the box office was expected to be good.

"My dear, this film has been well received in both the East and the West. The box office should be over a billion dollars!"

In the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in New York, Megan Fox said happily, "When will the sequel be filmed!"

"Well, as for the sequel, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few years!"
