After The Wandering Earth earned 4.6 billion yuan at the 2019 Spring Festival, many film producers have turned their attention to the field of science fiction films. Recently, at the 2020 China Science Fiction Conference, many science fiction novels sold their film and television adaptation rights and held signing events on site. Among them, Liu Cixin's classic novel Ball Lightning also held a signing ceremony. The partner was Chen Sicheng's Yitong Legend Film and Television, which produced the web series of Detective Chinatown and Detective Chinatown 3. According to the film's co-screenwriter Zhang Xiaobei, "Ball Lightning" is the most suitable work for adaptation into a movie among all Liu Cixin's works. In fact, the idea of adapting the film into a movie has been in the works since 2016, much earlier than "The Wandering Earth", but for various reasons, it has been delayed until now. Liu Cixin, the author of "Ball Lightning", will participate in the production of the film as a consultant. The film is expected to start shooting in 2021 and be released in 2022. The specific cast is expected to be announced next year, because Chen Sicheng is busy filming "Mozart from Outer Space". After this film is finished, he will officially invest in the "Ball Lightning" project. Some people have questioned Chen Sicheng's directing ability, believing that he might make a bad film out of the novel. It is estimated that Chen Sicheng's team will make "Ball Lightning" into a movie that is "at the level of a UFO falling from the sky." Some people also expressed their expectations for the film directed by Chen Sicheng, believing that Chen Sicheng's works in recent years are good in both quality and box office, and he is considered to be in the first echelon of domestic film directors. There is no need to predict his future in advance. The movie box office chart was also released, showing that he is indeed very strong. Introduction to Ball Lightning: On a strange rainy night, a ball of lightning entered the boy's field of vision. Its whistle was deep and sharp, like a ghost playing the xiao in the ancient wasteland. When the ghost finished playing the music, the ball of lightning turned the boy's parents into ashes in an instant, while the bench under them was miraculously cold. That night, the boy's fate was completely changed, and he would spend his whole life to solve the natural mystery that made him an orphan. But he never thought that many years later, the pure natural science research would be incorporated into the "new concept weapon" development plan, and the ball of lightning he was pursuing would become the ultimate weapon that determines the survival or destruction of the motherland in the next war! When the might of nature imprisoned in the ultimate weapon is released, a cold "blue sun" rises over the Gobi Desert in the Great West. The entire Gobi Desert is submerged in its blue light, and the world becomes strange and bizarre. A future that no one has ever imagined is coming to mankind under the gaze of the cosmic observer... |
