Speaking of Chinese science fiction movies, everyone will definitely think of "The Wandering Earth" during the Spring Festival last year. Before this movie was released, many netizens were very skeptical, because Chinese science fiction movies are really lackluster. However, after this science fiction film was released, it conquered the audience. With its excellent quality, "Wandering Earth" delivered a full score. "The Wandering Earth" proves that China can also make excellent movies with its strength, but before the filming started, many people in the industry felt that director Guo Fan was a liar!
Although "Wandering Earth" has made it into the top three box office of Chinese film history, it has been a big success. But this movie project was very simple at the beginning, only two PTTs were introducing content products, and then it started! Although the starting point is trivial, such a simple movie has great ambitions to create the highest level of science fiction movies in China! This means that movies have to invest a lot of money in special effects, but domestic film and television companies are seldom willing to invest in such a big deal. The reason is more realistic, because China's film and television industry is not as good as Hollywood, and everyone has no confidence.
The previous Chinese commercial science fiction films were very miserable. Andy Lau's "Future Men" and Jackie Chan's "Blood of the Machine" are not so much science fiction films as they are entertainment films. These scammers are a thousand miles away from Hollywood, and they are very close to Bollywood. Although the "Sino-U.S. co-production" and "The Great Wall" filmed by national teacher Zhang Yimou appeared later, it only won 1 billion box office, and its production cost was 1.8 billion, and it was lost.
Guo Fan, as a director who made youth films, countless investors didn't trust him and it was difficult to make investment. In the end, China Film and Beijing Culture chose to invest. And the male protagonist Qu Chuxiao was also randomly found in Hengdian later, and the female protagonist Zhao Jinmai was only 14 years old! The two paid a total of 150,000. Before Qu Chuxiao, there was actually another male artist who was chosen to become Chen Ruoxuan. Chen Ruoxuan thought about it for a long time, but finally felt that it was a scam and left with a 5w penalty.
And after that, director Guo Fan also turned into a big flicker. Wu Mengda and director Wu Jing of Wolf Warriors invited to do this "scam" movie. In the end, the crew ran out of money, and they fooled Wu Jing to invest 60 million! In the end, the special effects level of the movie can catch up with the international level.
Finally, "Wandering Earth" soared into the sky during the Spring Festival. Director Guo Fan proved his ambition. This is not a "scam", but a great dream.
