The special effects team of "The Wandering Earth" confirmed that it was losing money, and the CEO admitted that it was all about ideals

"The Wandering Earth", a domestic science fiction film released on the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 5), achieved remarkable box office results. On March 2, it was announced that it had exceeded 4.5 billion yuan. An important element of "The Wandering Earth" that has received rave reviews is its special effects that are comparable to Hollywood movies.

It is reported that some special effects of the movie "The Wandering Earth" were produced by the special effects company MORE VFX. There are a total of 2,003 special effects shots, and MORE undertook more than 800 of the more difficult shots, including the opening part where the elevator goes up to the ground, including a 2-minute long shot that stretches from the ground to the space, with nearly 3,000 frames. The difficulty is very high, and the other is all the ground work of the rescue team in Sulawesi, including the great disaster caused by the impact of Jupiter after it ignites and hits the ground.

Xu Jian, CEO of special effects company MORE, said: Recently, many enthusiastic young people want to work in the special effects industry. I advise them to stay calm. The special effects of The Wandering Earth did not cover the cost and even lost money! Most people in this industry are driven by interest, and artistic ideals are the most important.

"The Wandering Earth" reveals its losses:

According to the report, the film "The Wandering Earth" was basically completed by domestic special effects companies from the early concept, art direction, costumes and props to most of the special effects in the later stage, accounting for more than 75% of the overall workload. Among them, two Chinese local teams, MoreVFX and OrangeVFX, were responsible for more than half of the visual effects shots in the film, including the most difficult part.
