How to evaluate the movie “The Wandering Earth 2”?

Hello friends of Zhihu, thank you to the audience and friends who brought their family and friends to watch the movie “The Wandering Earth 2” on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Another four years passed, and finally lived up to the promise, and came back again with Xiao Poqiuer! I am very grateful to the friends of Zhihu who gave us encouragement, correction and criticism during the first episode, especially when I often saw everyone digging out the details of the movie on Zhihu, I was full of excitement and trembling.

Regarding how to write the story of the second episode, we wrote several plans at that time, from the simplest to the most difficult. The simple one is actually to copy the model of the first episode, and write a standard type of film structure in a relatively safe way. However, our script director Wang Hongwei still encouraged us to try again and take one more step, so we have the appearance you see today.

We choose to write forward, one is to enrich the world view in more dimensions, the world view of the first episode is still relatively rough; two is that Jing Ge gave us too much selfless help when we were doing the first episode, we hope Brother Jing can return to express our gratitude to Brother Jing, but I don’t want to write it as a resurrection, which is a bit ridiculous.

Of course, we still underestimated the difficulty of establishing this worldview. From natural sciences to social sciences, everyone’s knowledge framework is limited. For this reason, we invited many scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be scientific advisors. Thanks to them, this The imaginary world first saw its scale.

I am particularly aware that the achievement of the first episode is largely due to the tolerance of our audience. There are too many shortcomings in the film itself. Our audience is very aware of the differences between the first episode and mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, but they still tolerate us and recommend it. Let’s go. The audience’s higher requirements for the works are actually their recognition of us, and this recognition is the driving force for us to move forward. Therefore, “a little better than the first episode” has become our ultimate goal from planning, script, preparation, shooting and post-production. We hope that the second episode of Xiaopoqiuer can live up to the expectations and tolerance of the audience.

There are also a lot of stalks buried in this movie, and I look forward to seeing the excavations from the audience of Zhihu, which will continue to make me excited and trembling at the same time.

In the movie, a sentence that many leading actors have said is “I am here, I have always been here”. I believe that in the past four years, we are here, and so are our audiences.

Companionship is the longest confession of love, and I thank the audience for being infinitely tolerant and accompanying Xiao Poqiuer’s growth. Back then, the sci-fi seed planted by 110 million viewers has now sprouted, and I hope that one day it can grow into a big tree full of imagination.
