The Wandering Earth is not the first domestic film. Before that, Beibei from the Thunderbolt and Invisible Doctor were both science fiction works. In addition to these more formal productions, there are many online movies like some small productions with sci-fi titles, which are actually shoddy works. The Wandering Earth, on the other hand, opened the door to hard science fiction with realistic props and special effects, and at the same time let the public see the imagination and creativity of sci-fi filmmakers. It turns out that our people are not lacking in imagination, but what they lack may be the mobility and endurance to turn their dreams into reality.
Obviously, The Wandering Earth has reached the minimum standard to make sci-fi movies truly sci-fi. Some people call this year the first year of China film science fiction, which makes sense.
Because there was no formal film before, it can be called hard science fiction, so this The Wandering Earth has special significance. On the one hand, a group of filmmakers in The Wandering Earth took great risks, on the other hand, they presented this film to the audience under great pressure. In order to prove that China people can also make good science fiction movies, the purpose is to prove that our roommates have the same imagination and are not idiots in science fiction.
Besides these, the greater significance of The Wandering Earth lies in the endless follow-up influence of film manufacturing. One is to give China people the courage to turn their imagination into reality. On the other hand, it is the filming and production process that has created a group of sci-fi film talents. Thousands of filmmakers involved in the production are the seeds of science fiction films hatched from this film, and it also makes it possible for domestic films to look forward to future science fiction works. After all, there are so many people involved in this project that maybe the next wandering earth will be born from these technicians. This is the most precious thing.
