In this summer, a large movie opened a good start for science and film and television.

In less than a week, the movie "Lone Moon" released on July 29 has won 1.4 billion box office. There is no doubt that this is the film with the highest discussion in the near future.

Aerospace practitioners Li Duo will deliberately search for some evaluations of "Lone Moon", the keywords are usually "lonely lunar illegal science" -the want to see if there is any question about the scientific part of the film.

Li Duo is one of the scientific consultants of the film. The film was tested on the theater, and he felt a little embarrassed and nervous.

This is the first time that the domestic science fiction film has clearly appeared "scientific consultants".

Wang Yan, deputy director of the Science and Film and Television Integration Professional Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Science and Film Integration Specialty Committee) of the Chinese Popular Science Writers Association, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that they have been "building roads" so that they can communicate between the film and television and the scientific community. Dialogue and cooperation. "At" Lone Moon ", we can say that this road is finally opened to traffic." Wang Yan said.

In a sense, this science fiction comedy has played a milestone role in the integration of domestic medicine. It is the "model room" expected by the scorch fusion team.

尽 "The scientific details are as true as possible to enlarge the comedy effect of the movie"

"Lone Moon" tells such a story: Humans deployed the "Month Shield Plan" in the moon to protect the earth in order to resist the impact of the asteroid. However, one day of the meteorite attack, all the members evacuated urgently, and the maintenance worker Duguyue (Shen Teng) missed the evacuation notice of the leader Ma Lanxing (Ma Li), and a person fell on the moon. At this time, he discovered that the "Moon Shield Plan" failed, thinking that he had become the "last human beings of the universe" and began a life of "breaking the jar" on the moon. Later, the yin and yang were wrong, and the lonely moon rewinded hope, and strived to find a way to return to the earth in the moon.

It is produced by Happy Twist, starring Shen Teng and Ma Li, and the audience's expectations for it are naturally "funny". In the early publicity, "Lone Moon" did not emphasize the "science fiction" part too much. But in fact, scientific consultants have entered from the formal planning stage.

In 2020, the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Science Fiction Films" jointly released by the National Film and Science and Technology Association pointed out that it is necessary to establish a mechanism for promoting the development of science fiction film, establish a science fiction film scientific consultant library, and provide professional consulting for science fiction movies to provide professional consultation , Technical support and other services.

At the end of the same year, the Science and Film Integration Committee was formally established. Wang Yan has been promoting the integration of science and film and television. She and her companions are looking forward to more responsible scientific expression in the movie. Movies are popular cultural and entertainment products. Relying on its strong influence, scientific "borrowing the situation" can be achieved.

At the same time, "Lone Moon" has also begun preparations before booting.

Li Duo was exposed to the scientific researchers of the film's main team through the "friend introduction". The director wants to know whether the setting of the scientific part in the movie is reasonable. For example, whether a person can create a aircraft returning to the earth on the moon.

Li Duo liked to be happy before. He believed that the film would be an opportunity to promote aerospace, saying that "must be strongly supported."

At the end of 2020, the producer of "Lone Moon" found the Science and Film Integration Committee. The film is involved in the film, and the film invited more people in the industry: there are rocket launch, some satellite designs, some research on earth planets, and long -term root promotional reports ... After the film, the Science and Film Committee also invited several authoritative experts in physics and aerospace to watch the film and asked them to make professional suggestions.

The names of these people appeared in the ending subtitles and displayed them with a separate screen.

"I hope it can be true enough. There is a sentence in the comedy industry, called" the more real and more happy "." Zhang Yuyu, the director of "Lone Moon", told reporters that the movie made a comedy story on the moon. If the audience suspects the moon environment Truth, this situation cannot be established; the situation cannot be established, it is not so funny. "The scientific details are as true as possible to enlarge the comedy effect of the movie."

Therefore, they are willing to spend time with scientific consultants to consider those details, even if some details just pass by in the film.

The scientific consultant answered these questions: whether the commander 01 of the Flying Control Hall reads "Zero One" or "cave"; when the countless ignition, do you need to shout the final "0"; when the aircraft launch on the moon on the moon At that time, the series of passwords reported by the dispatcher are suitable for film situations. In addition, because there is no atmosphere on the moon, when showing the night sky on the moon, the stars should not be flickered; the moon's naked eye seems closer to black, it is best not to use gold ...

As for the appearance of the aircraft and the engine, the jet state of the aircraft takes off and the launching order at the scene, and the scientific consultants try to make them the same as the real scene. "Insiders in the industry will feel that it tastes like that." Li Duo said.

Duguyue's resume indicates his major. In just a few words, everyone has discussed for a long time. Later, according to the skills mastered by Duguyue, he arranged him as "aircraft power engineer" -the post in the space system is real.

Sometimes, the director wants to know how to make a certain plot more reasonable.

This is a dialogue in the WeChat group of the Shawang fusion of the expert group: Zhang Eat Fish (Director): Want to know the feasibility of gesture control by kicking the door when the return cabin is rotated at high speed. The air in the cabin is 6650 liters, and the cabin door is 65cm square. Except for the cabin, other data can be adjusted.

Huang Kan (the chief designer of the electrical system of scientific consultants, the director of the Xinghe Power Space Technology Co., Ltd.): Okay, let's count it. The initial speed conversion of the cabin door and the rotor of the gas generated by the gas can offset the speed of 5 degrees/second. Our calculation model is approximately estimated. The speed of 10 degrees/second of speed should be theoretically explained. In other words, if the initial speed of the entire cabin is 250 degrees/second, the door is about 240 degrees/second after pushing the door. This energy is still relatively limited.

Zhang Eat Fish: Is there any way to make this bridge even more established?

Huang Kan: In theory, more objects can be sucked out of the cabin. In principle, it can play a role in deceleration.

Similar discussions occur in the group every time.

This is not like a film and television project group, but it looks like a aerospace enthusiast -sharing group.

"Let's make the film better, not to turn it into a science and education film."

Two years ago, when the fusion of science and shadow was still in its infancy, scientific researchers and film and television practitioners told reporters that the potential difficulties of the science and film integration: the film and television industry does not attach great importance to the scientific consultant, and the film and television team can be able to be able to. Whether really respects the opinions of scientific consultants; the way scientific consultants and film and television teams may be completely different; whether scientific advisers provide help or can interfere and create ...

But at least in the "Lone Moon" project, these are not hindrance.

Zhang Yuyu's evaluation of the scientific advisory team is that the communication is smooth. "They are all very enlightened, and sometimes they are 'flying' more than me." Zhang said.

Scientific consultants said they could feel the rigor of the scientific part of the film producer. "The director told us, don't feel that the opinions are not good, and you have any ideas." Huang Kan recalled.

Chen Zheng, an associate professor of Beijing Jiaotong University, is one of the experts in the final stage. He emphasized that without affecting the circumstances, the details respect the science society to make the movie more real. He put forward two small modification opinions -the sound of the lunar car rally can be changed to a special buzzing sound of electric vehicles, because the lunar car is probably used to use electric drivers; at the end of the film, meteorite fragments are captured by the earth gravity to form a star ring. It is not similar to the shape of the product, but should be closer to the Saturn. After watching the premiere, he told reporters: "These suggestions have been adopted."

Almost everyone's evaluation is "happy cooperation."

Wang Yan said that "people" is important. The reliable film and television team, coupled with reliable scientific consultants, can collide out the sparks they look forward to cross -border integration.

This is professional. "To find a small peer suitable for the film." Wang Yan said, for example, it is also a science fiction film with the universe as the background. The segmentation of "Wandering Earth" and "Lone Moon" must be different. The second is on the gas field. Wang Yan said that the director was young and restrained; the scientific consultants participating in the early creative stage were mostly young and open -minded. "When a few engineers and director eat fish are discussed together, you will feel that they have formed a field where others cannot 'insert", enthusiastically and forget me. "

Opening is also important.

A movie, from the script to the release, often after many years, is the hard work of the main creator. So, can they or do they want to give them to outsiders to judge? After all, cross -border may begin with "criticism". Wang Yan has also dealt with many scientific researchers. Some outstanding scientific researchers will habitually become a simple exporter and "lecturer" in similar cooperation. Film and television practitioners' interest and curiosity about science will be drowned by a large number of strange scientific knowledge they give.

Wang Yan's positioning of scientific consultants is clear: "We come to make the film better, rather than forcibly turning it into a science and education film."

Everyone has reached a consensus: as long as the audience won't feel "this is too tumbling" when watching movies, it is acceptable and necessary for artistic treatment without violation of the laws of basic science. Essence

Li Duo was the one who was "flying" by Zhang Yu said that he was "flying" than him.

Li Duo faced the aerospace work very seriously, Ding is Ding, 卯 is 卯. But in film projects, he can think more exaggerated and bold.

How can Duguyue return to the earth? Li Duo gave a version of the scheme -picking up tattered on the moon. "At the beginning of the film, the protagonist is an attitude of 'rotten'." Li Duo felt that a rotten person, accompanied by a "rack" journey home, drama effect is full. There may be abandoned aircraft launched in other countries on the moon. Dugu Moon can look for these aircrafts, disassemble the parts that can be used, and re -assemble them as their home spacecraft. Since this spacecraft is fighting, it can be more "rough and indiscriminate". For example, manually control it with the gamepad, or just like the old -fashioned electric lamp, you must use the rope to control it. The process of pulling the rope is the same as playing dancing. Duo said with a smile: "This process of opening the brain is really addicted to me."

Because it is a movie, there can be more romantic, more imaginative imagination, and more "advanced".

"If you have watched the lunar documentary, you can find that people walking on the moon are very difficult." Huang Kan said that people can't walk so fast, and the moon cars can't drive so sharply. However, "Lone Moon" is a science fiction film. "It is impossible today, it is not impossible in the future. There may be new aerospace uniforms and new lunar cars in the future." In the movie, in order to reflect that the gravity of the moon is one -sixth of the earth, the characters will have a minor when walking. Bouncing. "They are different from the earth, but they do not have to perform as difficult as when they are ascending to the moon in the last century. They can‘ click to stop ’.” Huang Kan and his colleagues enjoy the process of participating in the film production. Their company is the scientific support agency of "Lone Moon". At the beginning, Huang Kan got only the script; later, he saw a sample that had not been fully done by the special effects. This is the first time that a group of engineers have come into contact with film and television projects. For the first time, I know that a few words on the script will become such a plump plot and magnificent picture. "The ideas in the film, the discussions with other scientific consultants, have also opened up our thinking." Huang Kan said.

"The film tells the children that we must be in awe of science and will explore and innovate."

Li Ran, another scientific consultant of the film, is an astronomer and an active popular science. He often wrote science articles to give popular science lectures. "Movies have greater audience noodles, which can make the audience feel more close to science. It is undoubtedly important for science popularization. Participation in and improve the presentation of the scientific part. I feel very meaningful."

Of course, Li Ran also worried.

The premise that the fusion of scientific communication can achieve a good scientific communication effect is that the film itself is a good film. Li Ran bluntly said that if it is a bad movie, everyone will not pay attention or discuss the scientific part. "As a scientific consultant, there is a certain risk in theory." Scientific researchers cherish their feathers, and cooperation with unfamiliar teams is actually an adventure. For scientists, judging whether film and television projects are reliable are an extra, complex job. If the film is not effective in the end, it may take the risk of scolding.

Fortunately, this time, everyone "played" very happy. The work of judgment was handed over to the science and shadow integration committee. Wang Yan said that we will carefully evaluate whether a film and television project is worth cooperating. "The time of scientific researchers is very precious, we can't waste it."

They also wondered if the audience would point out the scientific loopholes, but everyone's mentality is "welcome to pick up".

"If you find out the problem, this is a good thing, which shows that everyone knows and pays more attention to technology." Huang Kan said, "It also shows that we really have limitations."

Wang Yan admits that from the perspective of the fusion of the shadow, they are not worried that they will be pointed out that there are inaccurate places in the movie. "Instead, this can also become a spread and discussion point." Now and in the future, film audiences will become higher and higher. The audience is "not good", and it is also a "force" for film creators. They must use a more sincere and rigorous attitude to handle the scientific content appearing in the film.

With this journey with the movie, Li Duo summarized several levels of scientific consultants and film integration. The most basic layer is to make the parts related to science in the film more reasonable and in line with common sense. "Don't let the audience feel that there are any bridges to insult their IQ." The second floor is to use scientific principles to help the plot better. For example, think of scientific innovation methods beyond the common sense of ordinary audiences to solve the problem. The third layer is to help the film convey some spiritual things. "Let the audience watch it, there can be some touch."

He felt that these were done in "Lone Moon".

The protagonist of the film is the astronauts, the most familiar group of Li Duo. At the beginning of the story, Duguyue performed unreliable, but he had never really given up. When "going home" became his goal, he also tried everything. "Many colleagues around me also take the children to see. Children will feel that learning knowledge is useful, and the aerospace person is quite 'cool'." Li Duo thought that no matter whether these children were engaged in related industries in the future, the movies told the movies. They must have awe of science, to explore and innovate, and do not give up lightly when facing difficulties. "Look, Uncle Duguyue can solve so many problems on the moon by relying on knowledge." Moreover, Duguyue finally completed a very remarkable task. This is a positive image with superhero color.

Zhang Yuyu also told reporters that "Lone Moon" is a comedy, but the film still consciously expresses the spirit of aerospace. Movies may be witty or noisy, but the words "courage", "dedication", and "persistence" are hidden in the story.

"The audience can clearly see that the texture of scientific consultants movies is different, and it is solid. People in the film industry will know that they are not able to fill the gap that they can be filled by professionals." Wang Yan is very very very very good. " With confidence, people in the film and television industry watch this movie and can see the value of "science and film integration". A living case is better than thousands of words. "In the future, we will be more likely to accept the integration of science and technology in the future."

The film and television projects participated by the Science and Film Integration Committee not only "Lone Moon".

"Wandering Earth 2", "Ballical Lightning" and other science fiction familiar head film and television projects and the original science fiction work "When the Stars Shine" of the aerospace theme. Wang Yan often needs to attend meetings of different scientific research institutions to discuss how to show scientific research progress in a certain field over the years with film and television methods. In the United States, the relevant practice of the fusion of Kyoko has been carried out for decades. The participation of researchers is not only to make the science in film and television works more accurate. If more and more objective scientific roles can appear in movies and TV, it can affect the public's perception of science and scientific researchers. It is also an important part of promoting the spirit of science.

my country's science and shadow integration already has a beautiful start. Wang Yan said that next, they have to accumulate more cases and establish a theoretical system of fusion of science and shadow. "We must continue to enhance the understanding of the film and television and the scientific community. Tell scientific stories and shape a positive, positive and objective scientific image." She looks forward to the future.
