China Film Group Chairman La Peikang, Beijing Culture Group Chairman Song Ge and other representatives of the production company introduced the film to the guests. La Peikang said that the success of The Wandering Earth should be thanked to three men: Liu Cixin, the original author, Guo Fan, the director, and Wu Jing, the lead actor.

At the seminar, Lu Liang first fully affirmed the achievements of "The Wandering Earth" and congratulated the film's creative team and producers on behalf of the State Film Administration. He praised the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" as a "milestone in domestic science fiction films."

He said in his speech, "Every time we conquer a new film genre, the Chinese film industry and Chinese film art will have more confidence. The Wandering Earth has led us to conquer science fiction films. In the past, it seemed that only Hollywood could make science fiction films, but now Chinese people can do it too. It has laid a very good foundation for Chinese science fiction films. The Wandering Earth is not the end of Chinese science fiction films, but a new beginning."

La Peikang reviewed the relationship between China Film Group and The Wandering Earth. "As early as 2012, China Film Group bought the adaptation rights of three novels including Liu Cixin's The Wandering Earth. In early 2014, China Film Group officially launched the filming plan for The Wandering Earth. In 2017, Beijing Culture Group joined the film, and the film was released during the 2019 Spring Festival."

La Peikang expressed his gratitude to many colleagues who supported and helped "The Wandering Earth", and especially thanked three men: "The first man is Liu Cixin. Without his novel, there would be no project, no movie, and no success today. Second, I want to thank Guo Fan, a young director with great talent and rich imagination. The key is that he can endure loneliness and four consecutive years of hardship. His persistent creative attitude is very lacking in our society today. Third, I want to thank Wu Jing, who played a very important role in the success of the film with his huge influence and excellent acting skills."

Song Ge said that Beijing Culture has produced "Wolf Warrior 2", "Dying to Survive", "Nobody" and "The Wandering Earth" in recent years, and he summarized some of his experiences. "First, there are still many blanks in the subject matter and genres of Chinese films that need to be innovated. We must continue to innovate and break through in these areas; second, the values ​​of the film must be mainstream values, promoting values ​​that make the entire society and the people positive; third, we must use the film language that the audience likes and the most advanced film technology to shoot and produce movies."

Experts discuss the sci-fi innovation and humanistic connotation of "The Wandering Earth"

The Chinese expression of the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind"

Experts at the conference analyzed and evaluated "The Wandering Earth" from multiple aspects, including the film's cultural connotation, market performance, and film history significance. Huang Huilin, a senior professor at Beijing Normal University, believes that "The Wandering Earth" can be called "China's first hard science fiction work". The film is full of China's unique humanistic pursuits and reflects the Chinese people's affection for the land. It not only reflects the complex of homeland, but also reflects the feelings of family and country.

Zhao Baohua, a famous playwright and critic, believes that The Wandering Earth is not only an innovative work of science fiction films, but also a landmark work in the transformation and upgrading of China's film industry. It is also a landmark work in the process of China's film industry moving from a big country to a strong country. Its significance to Chinese films and Chinese science fiction films will become apparent over time.

Experts unanimously believe that the love between father and son, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and comrades-in-arms shown in the film not only promotes the development of the plot, but also carries a hope that "even if there have been estrangements and misunderstandings, we will eventually unite to build a home together", which is the Chinese expression of the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind". At the same time, "The Wandering Earth" has set a new benchmark for the industrialization of Chinese films. Science fiction films best represent the production level of a country's film industry, and "The Wandering Earth" provides a successful inspiration for the film industry.

"The Wandering Earth" is based on the original novel by Liu Cixin, directed by Guo Fan, with a special appearance by Wu Jing, and starring Qu Chuxiao, Li Guangjie, Ng Man-tat, and Zhao Jinmai. As of February 13, the film's cumulative box office has exceeded 2.8 billion yuan in 9 days since its release, not only winning the box office championship during the 2019 Spring Festival, the industry predicts that the final box office is expected to hit 5 billion yuan.
