Director Guo Fan of the movie “The Wandering Earth 2” Tianjin Haihe Middle School Road Show: Encouraged by the enthusiasm of the children
Tianjin North News:On March 13, the movie “The Wandering Earth 2” came to Tianjin Haihe Middle School to hold a road show. Film director Guo Fan, film producer Gong Geer and director Zhou Difei met with students from Haihe Middle School.
“The Wandering Earth 2” is a Spring Festival movie directed by Guo Fan, starring Wu Jing, Li Xuejian, Sha Yi, Ning Li, Wang Zhi, and Zhu Yan Manzi, with a special performance by Andy Lau. Talking about this roadshow, Guo Fan said: “This movie will be released for two months. This roadshow is not for the box office, but to popularize emerging science fiction works to young people, so we did not simply choose university campuses, but Including some primary and secondary schools. The reaction of the students was far beyond my expectations. The depth and breadth of the questions raised by some primary and secondary students made it impossible for me to answer them. I can only give the answers after I consult experts.”
The students said that “The Wandering Earth 2” does not completely rely on the original work, and the second creation was very successful. Some students said that they usually like to play with models and are also very interested in computers. Maybe they will choose computer majors in university in the future. In this regard, director Guo Fan said excitedly: “The children’s attention to sci-fi works gave me confidence and pressure. I feel that our team’s efforts have been rewarded, and it also spurs me to work harder in new works. They are satisfied with the work. The success of this road show lies in the fact that I heard everyone’s opinions and was inspired by the enthusiasm of the children.”
It is reported that “The Wandering Earth 2” will be released on January 22, 2023. As of March 12, the total number of movie viewers is 78.678 million, with a score of 8.3 on Douban, 9.7 on Taopiao, and 9.2 on Maoyan, all of which are Lunar New Year files. The film has the highest score, temporarily ranking second in the Lunar New Year file, the second in the box office of 2023 movies, and the tenth in the box office of Chinese film history. The two “Wandering Earth” let the audience see the future of Chinese science fiction movies. Guo Fan said that he is very optimistic about this, “The genre of sci-fi films has been established and a ‘contractual relationship’ has been formed with the audience, which will surely become the soil for the growth of sci-fi films.” (Jinyun News reporter Liu Xiaojing )
