It traveled to Xinjiang, Ningxia, Qingdao, and to shoot scenes. A lot of post-production special effects were used to create the appearance of African countries.
Although the filmmakers did not disclose the production cost of the film, this figure is not difficult to estimate. The film was supervised by Guo Fan , the director of " Wandering Earth ", and MORE VFX completed post-production for both works. "The Wandering Earth" has a larger production and more special effects shots, and the total production cost is 50 million US dollars, while Zhang Yi, the star of "The Journey of a Thousand Miles", has always been paid a low salary, and Wang Junkai is a newcomer in the film industry, and he will not offer a high salary, so normally the production cost of "The Journey of a Thousand Miles" should be six to six of that of "The Wandering Earth". 70% of the total is 250 million, and the current box office is as high as 463 million, which means that the filmmaker's profit has exceeded 200 million.

When he took over, he found that some interviews and data collection had been done, but the script had not yet been completed, but the documentary style had been clarified, so it felt very real; but another On the other hand, the film is shot in the same way as a commercial genre film. The scenes in the film, such as pistol games, are quite dramatic, giving the audience a tense and exciting look and feel when watching it.
Of course, what's more important is that "The Journey Home" will make people feel that it is worth the price of the ticket, the movie feeling is particularly strong, and the production is also very careful.
