The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum enters science fiction film and television and games.

Stills of "Shiyu"

The sandstorms of the sky, the fantasy sunset, the potholes of landforms ... The first 4D science fiction movie "Yinghuo" in the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum will be premiered in August. The film tells the story of two Chinese astronauts who have found Mars in the life after hardships and support each other.

Since the opening of independent popular science film and television creation in 2009, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum has continuously created 11 four -dimensional science science special films such as "Return to the Erza", "Panda Rolling" and "Dragon Entering the Sea" and the science popularization documentary of the 16 episodes of "China Rare Species". Why choose the field of science fiction at this time? What are the breakthroughs in popular science film and television in the future? The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum gave its own answer.

Big names gathered, exhausted to shape the "real" Mars world

There are many science fiction movies with Mars as the background. Unlike those commercial blockbusters that are empty and empty, the science fiction movies produced by the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum are pursuing authenticity.

In the film, the basic background settings of Mars, such as Mars duration, gravity, atmospheric composition, sunshine intensity, average temperature, and other Mars, as well as the portrayal of Mars geological geology and meteorological and climate information such as Mars, Mars blueberries, Mars sunset, lava pipelines, etc. Scientific facts. For example, one of the crisis encountered in the movie -10 kilometers of super sandstorms, because the surface of Mars is covered with gravel, and the gravity is only 1/3 of the two basic parameters of the earth.

For the truth, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum has formed a team of super luxury expert consultants, including the deputy commander of the third phase of the China Lunar Exploration Project, Deputy Commander of Tianwen No. 1 Detector, Scholars of Peking University-Tsinghua Life Sciences Center, and a number of popular sciences. writer.

The sci -fi part of the movie, such as the landing process of the Mars landing person, the choice of the landing point, the frequent exploration of Mars detection tasks, and the discussion of the life form that may exist on Mars. Scientific theory and known things are presented.

"Although there are no fierce fighting in the film, the horrible horror, and the strange alien life in the film, when I think of the plot in the play in the future, I may not be calm for a long time." It is where this movie is most impressive.

Fine arts outside science should not be absent

Whether it is "Star Wars" and "Wandering Earth" or "Dunes", people are aware of the success of successful science fiction movies. The joining of the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio of "Bagua Tiangong" jointly draws a visual feast for China Mars detection.

At the beginning of the launch, the two sides made it clear that their respective advantages should be used to create an excellent science fiction cartoon "based on China, look at the world, and the universe". In May last year, when the first Martian detector "Tianwen No. 1" lander and the "Zhu Rong" Mars car successfully landed on the largest plain of Mars, "Yinghuo" also released the first concept pioneer.

The collision, explosion, four dispersion, gathering ... The opening and ending of "Yinghuo" did not use photos or computer special effects. Instead, the oil paintings of artists were used to restore the birth of the universe and the transformation of the nebula. "In order to present the depth of the universe, the artist gave up the method of blacking the bottom or black cloth, but to retain the light and brightness of the light box on the picture depth and brightness. Therefore After the draft, the anti -color treatment became the final picture. During this period, in order to determine the use of the opposite color and the grasp of light transmission, it has been tested countless times. "Chen Bo, director of the film, revealed.

Whether this unique expression can win the audience's love, he looks forward to the feedback from the audience after the film is released.

The future science and technology museum will be more "science fiction"

"Yinghuo" is the 12th 4D movie of the Science Communication Center of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. From 2009, they have created "Return to the Erza", "Panda Rolling" and "Dragon Entering the Sea" 4D popular science special movie. "In the field of science fiction film, producer Yang Fan said that he would" take root "and carry out more science fiction film creation.

In order to present this 19 -minute science fiction movie, 8 and a half years of employees of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum spent nearly a year and a half. In order to understand the various situations on Mars, they read a lot of Chinese and foreign literature. "The hardest part is the rendering of Mars sandstorms." Yang Fan, staff member of the Scientific Communication Center of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, said that when the audience saw a second of pictures, animation rendering needed a whole day. "

In addition to movies, there are games. It is reported that after the release of "Yinghuo" in the future, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum will also launch an entertaining Mars exploration game. Even if you can't go to the scene to watch movies on the spot, you can also contact this real and romantic Mars world through "cloud". Essence

"In the future, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum will also introduce the Yuan universe so that tourists can be more immersive to experience exhibitions and make technology more fun." Wang Xiaoming, director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, said that science fiction education can promote the stimulus of imagination. The restrictions of time and space and modules inspire teenagers to be curious and inspire the self -construction of the public knowledge system.
