March 3, 19:00, School of Liberal ArtsThe first session was held online13th Shandong University Literary Salon “‘Hard Science Fiction’ and Chinese Science Fiction—From “Journey to the Moon” to “The Wandering Earth 2””，Specially invited Associate Professor Xu Le from the School of Culture and Communication of Shandong University (Weihai) as a guest to conduct academic exchanges on "hard science fiction" and Chinese science fiction films。The salon is hosted by Associate Professor He Ying，AttractNearly a hundred teachers and students。
At the beginning of the event, He YingWith the currently being screened "The Wandering Earth"2》Introduce Xu Le as the entry point’s topic——Research on Chinese “Hard Science Fiction” and Science Fiction Movies，please to Xu LeProceedBriefIntroduction.
Xu LeStarting from early Chinese and foreign science fiction movies，Analysis of the genealogy of the development of science fiction movies，And expressed appreciation for the breakthrough in visual experience and bet365 online betting appemotional expression of "The Wandering Earth"，affirmed the important significance of "The Wandering Earth" in the history of science fiction movies，And heralds new hope for domestic science fiction movies。With "The Wandering Earth"2》is the introduction, Xu LeTalked about the influence of values on movies,Believe that values are only a by-product of movies after all，Making a movie based on values is not a good thing for the movie，Sometimes the creator’s unsatisfactory ideas may make for a more exciting movie。
After talking about the "Wandering Earth" series, Xu LeI played "Journey to the Moon" for everyone12-minute short film,itAdapted from "From the Earth to the Moon" by Verne, the two originators of science fiction、"Around the Moon" andThe First Man on the Moon by H.G. Wells.
Xu LeTaking Verne’s novels as an example to describe the characteristics of science fiction literature，It turns something that was originally very mathematical and physical into a literary expression，The feeling of reading science fiction literature and reading mainstream literature is different，It requires us to switch to a different aesthetic state，The plot of science fiction novels is actually not important，The important thing is its detailed description，Imagining while reading is the greatest pleasure in reading science fiction novels。
HoweverAfter the birth of the movie "Journey to the Moon" in 1902，Science fiction movies have not become the mainstream of Hollywood movies，Until the birth of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968，It can be said that this is the second masterpiece in the hard science fiction film industry，Borrow the film "2001: A Space Odyssey"，Xu LeAlso recommended the author Arthur•Other works by Clark，Such as "Meet Rama", "Song of the Distant Earth", etc.。
2000's "Mission to Mars" was Xu LeThe third science fiction movie masterpiece selected，It is also a movie that he personally likes very much，Because the film combines the plot of hard science fiction and mainstream movies very well。
After 2013, Hollywood will have a masterpiece of hard science fiction movies almost every year，Such as "Gravity", "Interstellar", "The Martian", etc.，But Hollywood has not produced similar science fiction movies in recent years。Until 2019, a very interesting phenomenon of comparing Chinese and foreign films appeared，"The Wandering Earth" became a big hit in the country，Box office reached 4.6 billion，However, "Alita: Battle Angel" produced by James Cameron, which was released 20 days later, was a mess at the box office in North America and China，Perhaps we will look back at this 2019 movie event many years later，It has become a watershed moment in science bet365 online casinofiction movies。A similar comparison can be made between 2022's "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Avatar 2"，The former has been improved on the basis of the previous one，The latter seems to be repeating old tunes。Of course Xu LeAlso admitted，Chinese audiences also have some emotional preferences in their ratings of "The Wandering Earth"，He also regretted that the movie failed to film the most difficult science fiction part of the novel。The greatest aesthetic charm of hard science fiction works is that it creates a grand world dominated by science and technology，Then describe the personal spiritual experience in this grand world，Meanwhile，It will also come with a core value that expresses the beauty of science。
Xu LeAlso shared his optimistic expectations for the future development of Chinese science fiction movies，He thinks，Future Chinese science fiction movies can completely create their own fresh vitality in terms of scientism and technology，At the same time, there can be more new expressions for the presentation of civilization forms，For example, looking for the source of scientific film creation from traditional culture。
At the end of sharing, Xu LeShare your own views on science fiction movies,“Comprehensive national strength is the prerequisite for the prosperity of science fiction movies，At the same time, science fiction movies are also bet365 live casino reviewino blackjackan expression of comprehensive national strength”，The box office of "The Wandering Earth" proves the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength，Future Chinese movies may also redefine the term "science fiction movie"。
He YingOn behalf of teachers and students, express gratitude to Xu Lethanks for the wonderful lecture，At the same time, she also shared her thoughts on "The Wandering Earth"2》Feelings，Comments on the logical loopholes in the movieStarted a discussion. He Yingthink，The whole movie is at a climax，Easy to make people tired，But the cinematography of the movie is very good，The space elevator that I have seen countless times in science fiction novels is also seen with my own eyes in this film，Although the movie has some flaws on the emotional level，But the movie as a whole is very consistent with Chinese values，It is also a cinematic expression of the tragic aesthetic style of Liu Cixin’s novels。
At this point, the salon has come to a successful end.
