Liu Cixin's "Supernova Era" movie production starts, director: I hope Wu Jing will play the role

The film adaptation of Liu Cixin's novel "Supernova Era" held a launch symposium in Beijing. The film is directed and written by Kong Ergou, and Liu Cixin is the producer and participated in the script adaptation. The cast has not yet been announced.

At the launch forum, director Kong Ergou said that he had learned from the team of "The Wandering Earth" director Guo Fan and hoped to cooperate with the team of "The Wandering Earth". When asked whether he would invite Wu Jing to act, Kong Ergou said with a smile that he had not invited him yet, but hoped to cooperate. " I would definitely like to invite such an actor to act in our work. He is not only a good actor, but also has a good vision and good feng shui. "

Recently, there were rumors that the director of "Supernova Era" was still Guo Fan, and the starring actors were Wu Jing, Li Xian, and Yang Zi. Screenwriter Gong Geer refuted the rumor on Weibo: "There is no such thing, it is pure false information."

In addition, the person in charge of the production company also talked about the situation of "facing challenges head-on" after "Shanghai Fortress". He said: " A "Shanghai Fortress" cannot change anything, nor can it hit the industry, let alone affect the progress of Chinese science fiction films. "

The film project of Liu Cixin's work "Supernova Era" was announced to be launched in Beijing. Kong Ergou will serve as the director and screenwriter. The original author Liu Cixin himself will serve as the producer and participate in the script adaptation. The leading actor has not yet been announced.

"Supernova Era" story summary:

One day in late 1999, a supernova suddenly exploded in the constellation Auriga. For a long time, this huge star was obscured by interstellar dust and was not discovered by humans. This supernova explosion brought a nearly devastating disaster to humans, and humans have since entered a new era - the supernova era.
Because we were too close to the supernova, the strong radiation caused widespread radiation sickness in humans, and a large number of people began to die. People also found that children, especially those under 12 years old, had very mild or no symptoms. Later, it was discovered that this was related to the self-repair function of genes, and the older we get, the worse this function becomes. Optimistic estimates show that in 10 months to 1 year, people over 13 years old on Earth will gradually die.
So, during the one-year long "big study", adults all over the world tried their best to teach these children who were still in a state of confusion all the knowledge and experience they had acquired throughout their lives.
