Chapter 306 Stable
Anything will only be felt to be precious after it has gone through twists and turns and finally succeeds.

There are many small things like this in life. For example, when you ask a locksmith to open your lock, and he opens it with just a scratch, you will feel that it is too much of a loss for the locksmith to charge you fifty dollars.

When you go to get your cell phone repaired, and they fix it in just a few minutes and charge you a hundred bucks, you will still feel like you're getting a loss.

But if he asks you to pick it up the next day and asks you to pick it up, and it’s the same problem, and he charges you five hundred, you will feel it’s worth it.

It's similar with movies. In order to arouse the audience's emotions, the protagonist must go through various hardships if he wants to accomplish something. Only in the end will the audience have a satisfying feeling.

Therefore, in "The Martian", even if the Earth contacted Qin Hao, the rescue process would not be smooth sailing.

At this time, news, newspapers, television stations, and the Internet around the world were reporting on it, and everyone was watching, looking forward to the success of the rescue.

It is not only a major event that has attracted national attention, but also the whole world is paying attention.

The atmosphere reached its peak at this time.

The audience at the scene was also full of expectations.

But first the living cabin in the Mars base exploded, and Qin Hao was injured.

Later, a leak occurred in the greenhouse where potatoes were grown, and all the potatoes died.

On Earth, the rocket that was rushed into production broke apart in mid-air because it was rushed and not tested thoroughly enough, and the supplies were not successfully delivered to the spacecraft.

At the Earth launch site, everyone looked at the disintegrating rocket in despair.

"what!"

"Grass!"

Some of the audience exclaimed, while others couldn't help but curse out loud.

Although the protagonist was stranded alone on Mars at the beginning, except for a short and sad part, the overall feeling given to the audience was quite relaxed because of the protagonist's optimism.

Especially when the Earth Space Agency contacted Qin Hao and launched a full rescue effort, everyone was filled with hope.

But now, the base exploded, the greenhouse was destroyed, and the rocket on Earth failed and disintegrated.

The hero was suddenly on the verge of despair!

"Is it possible that he can't be saved?"

Although we can probably guess that there will be a happy ending in the end, the desperate situation at this moment still gives the audience a feeling that there is no salvation.

Zhang Ziyi and others comforted Qin Hao after learning about his situation. The Earth Space Agency was also working hard to build a new rocket and discuss other solutions.

Finally someone came up with a very unreliable method.

"Director, why don't we use the gravity slingshot method to give the spacecraft an acceleration? This will save a lot of fuel."

"No, this is too risky. Even if we use the gravity slingshot method, we don't know if the existing fuel on the spacecraft can fly a round trip."

"I've calculated that if the spacecraft doesn't land on Mars, there should be enough fuel."

"No, this is too extreme. I can't make even the slightest mistake. And I can't risk the entire team."

"But he can't last long on Mars."

Inside the space agency, everyone started arguing and even quarreling about this, and the audience below the stage finally understood what a gravitational slingshot was.

The so-called gravity slingshot is to accurately calculate the orbit of the spacecraft, enter the gravitational range of the earth at a precise angle, fly around the earth half a circle, and then use the acceleration obtained by the earth's gravity to swing towards Mars.

With the help of gravity, a lot of fuel can be saved.

To make a vivid analogy, it is like a shot putter taking the "shot put" of the spacecraft, turning it half a circle, and throwing the shot put back at a greater speed.

As for not landing on Mars, acceleration is a problem in interstellar travel, and so is deceleration.

In "The Three-Body Problem", when the Three-Body First Fleet came to invade the Earth, nearly half of its fuel was used to slow down.

This entire process requires extremely precise calculations. If there is even the slightest mistake, the entire plan will fail.

The audience seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand, and felt a little confused.

"Using the Earth as a slingshot? Are you writing a novel?"

"Have you forgotten? Liu Zhou was a novelist at first."

"If the spaceship doesn't land on Mars, how can we rescue the hero? We can't use a rope, right?"

"You are stupid. There is no gravity in space, and you can't throw the rope to Mars."

"Yes."

The audience below was not left confused for too long, as the explanation was given to them shortly afterwards.

There is a small spacecraft on Mars that can send people into space.

However, the aircraft was unable to dock with the spacecraft and could only carry out rescue operations from a long distance in space.

This crazy idea left all the audience stunned.

In the end, the space agency was unable to make a decision and left the choice to the space team on the spacecraft.

After discussing with her teammates, Zhang Ziyi also made a decision.

They were the ones who left the people behind, so they must take them home!

Seeing that the space team had made a decision, the space agency also began intensive calculations.

At this time, Qin Hao's situation on Mars was also very bad.

Although potatoes are eaten by many people on earth, eating only this food cannot provide enough nutrition.

Qin Hao, who was originally quite sturdy, had become so thin that he was bleeding under his skin. When shooting this scene, Qin Hao really starved himself.

Before filming began, Qin Hao went to the Space Administration for training, and he became very strong.

Later, when we were shooting this part, I only ate one cucumber every day. In less than ten days, I starved myself into the appearance we see in the movie.

Liu Zhou was always worried that he would suddenly faint during the filming.

Such sudden weight loss would definitely be harmful to the body. Liu Zhou originally wanted to solve the problem with makeup, but Qin Hao felt that makeup was not realistic enough and insisted on making himself look that way.

So not only Liu Zhou, but also Qin Hao put in a lot of effort for this movie.

On the big screen, although Qin Hao was a little weak, he still drove the Mars rover to the designated location.

Following Qin Hao's perspective, the audience experienced a different kind of Martian style.

Mountains, plains, canyons, volcanoes, dry riverbeds, surface sand dunes, gravel, it was the first time that everyone paid serious attention to this incredibly realistic Martian surface.

At this time, the spacecraft also accurately entered the Earth's gravity range, successfully used the Earth's gravity, and accelerated towards Mars.

Both sides were moving towards their respective goals, and finally, when Qin Hao had been stranded on Mars for more than 500 days, both sides arrived at the designated location.

At this moment, everyone is looking forward to the rescue operation.

Because the rescue operation for Qin Hao had been announced to the public long ago, the space agency also broadcast the rescue operation live around the world.

People all over the world are watching this rescue operation, which can be called a miracle in the history of human space flight.

Although it was the last shiver, I still encountered various problems.

First of all, the aircraft Qin Hao was riding in could not reach a sufficient height.

Later, Qin Hao thought of a way to survive from the brink of death. He directly punctured his own space suit and used it as a boost to push himself up.

But it's still out of reach.

Zhang Ziyi could only use a traction rope to connect herself and float into outer space.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the space special effects rendered by the supercomputer appeared on the big screen.

Coupled with this romantic scene floating in the universe, the audience's eyes widened.

"What the hell! Is this a special effect we made ourselves?!"

Industry insiders in the front row were also very surprised. This first domestically produced science fiction film really has something to offer.

In space, after Zhang Ziyi and Qin Hao passed each other many times, finally, Zhang Ziyi held Qin Hao's hand.

call!
The audience's tense nerves finally relaxed.

On the big screen, Zhang Ziyi and Qin Hao held hands in space. Without gravity, they just floated freely. The towing ropes formed circles around them, which looked so beautiful against the background of space.

The audience who had just relaxed couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.

The movie ends with Qin Hao giving a lecture to young prospective astronauts.

As the ending music sounded, the film officially ended.

The whole hall was silent for a while, and then burst into warm applause.

The audience spontaneously expressed their excitement and recognition of the film with applause.

Afterwards, Liu Zhou brought the film’s main creators to the stage to thank the audience.

Afterwards, the audience began to leave one after another, but many of them were still discussing the plot as they left.

“It’s really good. Although there aren’t many special effects shots, the plot is great, and the special effects on the surface of Mars are so realistic.”

"Hasn't it been reported before? The surface of Mars was built on the spot in Dunhuang. Jiahe even built a Mars tourism demonstration area based on it."

"Is it true? If I have time, I have to go and take a look."

"Of course it's true. You should still be able to find relevant news on the Internet."

“The special effects shots during the final rescue scene were so amazing. The sense of mystery of space and the depth of the universe were so realistic, and they were no worse than those in Hollywood.”

“It’s nice to watch, but there aren’t many exciting parts and not many big scenes.”

"Liu Zhou actually let Zhang Ziyi, the heroine, play a supporting role. I came here just for Zhang Ziyi. If it weren't for the beautiful shot at the end, I would have to complain about him."

In addition to these audiences, there were also some reporters, film critics and writers who didn't say anything, but the light in their eyes could not be hidden.

It was so unexpected, a perfect space science fiction film.

As soon as they walked out the door, they rushed back immediately. They had to write down the relevant reviews of the movie as soon as possible.

At the same time, some guests also expressed their congratulations to Liu Zhou and Han Shanping.

Until the last person was sent away, Liu Zhou and Han Shanping did not feel tired at all. Instead, they were very energetic. They couldn't help but look at each other and then smiled at each other.

Judging from the performance of the audience just now, "The Martian" should be a sure win.

However, it is not time for the two to relax yet. Han Shanping has to keep an eye on the movie's release, and Liu Zhou will then take the main creators on a roadshow.

After the premiere, netizens immediately began sharing their viewing experience of "The Martian".

For those fans who were lucky enough to attend the premiere, sharing was secondary and the main thing was to show off, especially when they saw netizens were envious, which gave them a great sense of satisfaction.

Subsequently, film critics and some columnists published their reviews of "The Martian", which were almost all positive.

By the evening, "The Martian" had already sparked a huge amount of heated discussion.
