Chapter 708 "Three-Body 2" starts broadcasting, and the controversy caused by the dark forest(1/2)
Summer vacation is coming.
"The Three-Body Problem 2" will premiere in the summer.
Due to the broadcast performance of "The Three-Body Problem", it has a very good reputation, with a high score of 8.7 on Douya.com, and it is a rare hard science fiction theme in the field of TV dramas.
It can be said that this drama monopolizes the entire audience of science fiction dramas and has almost no competition.
Even though some film and television companies followed the trend and made science fiction TV series, they basically made no splash.
The subject matter of science fiction is indeed the most difficult subject among many subjects.
In the words of many people in the industry, it is thankless and hard to fool the audience.
You can make money by shooting ancient puppets with your feet, so why waste so many brain cells shooting science fiction?
Therefore, when the news came out that "The Three-Body Problem" is scheduled to be released in the summer, many science fiction fans were excited.
After all, in the entire TV drama industry, there is no second sci-fi drama that can be watched. When the audience has no other choice, they can only pin their hopes on "The Three-Body Problem".
Therefore, "The Three-Body Problem 2" has been on several hot searches as soon as it was released.
In order to continue to increase the popularity.
Zhang Yigao led the creative team to hold an online event "The Three-Body Problem 2 Face to Face" on Wandou Video.
The reason for this activity is mainly because the series "The Three-Body Problem" does have a threshold for viewing.
For non-science fiction fans, it will be difficult to understand some physics knowledge and astronomy knowledge.
Moreover, "Three-Body 2" will introduce several new concepts, which are more difficult to understand.
There is only one week left before the broadcast, and Fang Xing happens to be free, so he also participated in this online "face to face with the creators" event.
The main purpose of this activity is to explain several concepts raised in the play to the audience and help the audience better understand the content of the play.
For science fiction fans, it may not be difficult to understand these concepts, but for audiences who have less exposure to science fiction themes, it is still important to hold this event.
In the first half of the event, the host was responsible for asking questions and the creative team was responsible for answering. The questions asked were all concepts that need to be understood in advance for "Three-Body 2".
These concepts have already been mentioned in the trailer, but only mentioned. The trailer is too long and it is impossible to explain in detail.
Host: "First of all, welcome to our main creative team of "Three-Body 2", director Fang Xing, director Zhang Yigao, and our leading actors, welcome.
"Today's event is a countdown to the launch of "The Three-Body Problem". At the end of the event, we will draw a thousand lucky viewers and give away VIP members of Wandou Video, as well as generous peripherals from the "Three-Body Problem" series.
“Without further ado, let’s get to the point.
"First let's ask producer Fang Xing. You are the producer of "The Three-Body Problem" and you are also filming "The Wandering Earth 2". Are you very busy?"
Fang Xing took the phone and replied: "Fortunately, Yigao is very good, so I mainly just keep my name."
Zhang Yigao quickly picked up the other microphone and said: "Without Fang Xing, there would be no "Three-Body" series. He is the first creator of this series."
Host: "We all know that "The Three-Body Problem" is the second part of the "Three-Body Problem" series, so what is the relationship between the second part and the first part?"
Fang Xing picked up the microphone and replied: "In terms of story line, the story of "Three-Body Problem 2" takes place after "Three-Body Problem", and it is an orthodox sequel."
Host: "Then the protagonists of "Three-Body 2" will also appear in "Three-Body 2", right?"
Fang Xing: "It will appear, but "Three-Body 2" will have a new protagonist."
Host: "So who is the male protagonist of "The Three-Body Problem"?"
Fang Xing gestured to Zhang Yi next to him and said, "Here he is."
The host turned the topic to Zhang Yi: "Let's ask Zhang Yi, which role do you play in the play?"
Zhang Yi took the microphone and replied: "The role he plays is 'Logic'."
Host: "What kind of role is this?"
Zhang Yi organized his words before answering: "In the early days, I was a playboy. Later, I heard from Ye Wenjie her original idea of the law of the dark forest. Later, I followed Ye Wenjie's suggestion and founded the 'Cosmic Sociology'."
Moderator: “We heard a new concept ‘cosmic sociology’. What kind of discipline is this?”
Fang Xing took the topic and replied: "This subject does not exist in reality for the time being. It is a science fiction concept.
"To put it simply, sociology is a subject that studies the relationship between people, so cosmic sociology is a subject that studies the relationship between human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization.
“Only by studying aliens clearly can we deal with aliens in the correct way.
"The sociology of the universe is a discipline established for such a purpose and is part of science fiction works."
Host: "Thank you, Director Fang, for your explanation, which made me understand a lot. I also saw a term in the play called 'wall-facer'. What is this?"
Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "To explain the 'Wall Facer', we need to first explain the communication method of Trisolarans."
Moderator: "Okay, so how do Trisolarans communicate?"
Fang Xing: "Communication method is a means of exchanging information between living things. For example, humans use hearing and vision for daily communication, which correspond to sound and light respectively.
"However, the biological structure of Trisolarans is very special, and they communicate through electromagnetic waves.
"Using electromagnetic waves to communicate, doesn't it sound very high-end?
"Three-body people communicate through electromagnetic waves emitted by their brains, which leads to a problem. What the Trisolaran people think in their minds is equivalent to what they say.
"Yes, the words 'think' and 'say' in the Trisolaran dictionary mean the same thing.
"What does this mean? It means that the thoughts of Trisolarans are open to the public, which means there is no deception among Trisolaran individuals."
Having said this, many people at the scene immediately listened with bated breath.
Because this science fiction idea is so interesting.
How wonderful would be the daily life of a creature that doesn't deceive and says whatever it thinks?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And, from a scientific perspective.
It is possible for Trisolarans to have this kind of communication method.
Electromagnetic waves are like wireless communications used by humans. The speed of transmitting information is much faster than speaking, so "thinking" can indeed be equal to "speaking".
Fang Xing continued: "Actually, in "Three-Body 1", the characteristics of the Three-Body civilization were introduced through the Three-Body game.
"In the Three-Body Game, Qin Shihuang used soldiers to form a huge array and form a computer.
"In fact, that is a simplified version of the Trisolaran communication method.
"Take wireless communication as an example. In fact, radio signals are binary, and there are only two transmitted signals, 0 and 1.
“By combining two signals into different pieces of information, a huge amount of information can be transmitted.
"After we understand the concept that Trisolarans communicate through electromagnetic waves, we can begin to explain the 'Wall Facer'."
The host responded: "It's really interesting. It turns out that Trisolarans say whatever they think. In this case, there is indeed no deception. So what does this have to do with the 'Wall Facer'?"
Fang Xing: "The word wall-facer comes from the 'Wall-Facing Project'. In "Three-Body 1", we already know that the super-intelligent computer "Sophon" created by the Trisolaran civilization can know all the behaviors of people on earth.
"So every move of human beings on the earth is monitored by the Trisolaran civilization.
"However, there is one thing that Trisolaran civilization cannot monitor, and that is the thoughts in human heads.
"For the Trisolaran civilization, the word 'deception' does not exist in their dictionary, but it does in the human dictionary.
"The thoughts of Trisolaran individuals are open to the public, but humans are not.
“The human heart is unpredictable, this old saying is very appropriate here.
"Therefore, if you want to find a way to break the situation, you must find a way to break the situation in a place where the Trisolaran civilization cannot monitor it, that is, in human thoughts.
"Of course, not everyone's thoughts are useful. After all, knowledge cannot reach that level, and it is useless no matter how hidden your thoughts are.
"Therefore, humans launched the Wall Facer Project, selecting some suitable people as 'Wall Facers', and using the opacity of their thoughts to hide their true strategic intentions against the Trisolaran World.
"The 'Wallfacers' are allowed to mobilize all resources of human civilization without explanation.
"Yes, Wallfacer can use any resource and doesn't need to explain why to anyone.
"Because once the reason is explained, the Trisolaran civilization will know it.
"This is the key to the success of the 'Wall Face Project'. The 'Wall Facer' is responsible for executing the plan against the Trisolaran civilization, and this plan does not need to be told to anyone. Only the 'Wall Facer' knows it.
"Humanity has selected four wall-facers, and our male protagonist 'Luo Ji' is one of them."
After listening, the host slowly exhaled: "It's a long explanation, but I understand it all. The concept is very strange, but it also makes people feel very reasonable. There is also a question, how many people are facing the wall in the play?
By'?"
Fang Xing: "With the four wall-facers, in the play, the Trisolaran civilization cannot sit still and wait for death, so it orders the Adventists among humans to destroy the 'wall-facer plan'.
"The plan to destroy the 'Face the Wall Plan' is called the 'Break the Wall Plan'.
“For every ‘wall-facer’, there will be a corresponding ‘wall-breaker’.
"The 'Wall Breakers' are the people selected by the Trisolaran Civilization, with the purpose of ideologically defeating the 'Wall Facers'."
