The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended "The Wandering Earth" to foreign media reporters: I suggest you go and watch it

On February 13, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying promoted the domestic film "The Wandering Earth" at a regular press conference.

When answering a question from a foreign media reporter about why Zhang Yimou's "One Second" could not be screened at the Berlin Film Festival, Hua Chunying first said that this matter should be referred to the relevant competent authorities. Then she said: "I know that the popular movie now is "The Wandering Earth". I don't know if you have seen it. I suggest you go and watch it."

The Wandering Earth was released on February 5, 2019, and its box office has been rising. As of February 13, the box office has exceeded 2.8 billion yuan, ranking sixth on the mainland's box office history list. The five movies ahead of The Wandering Earth on the box office list are all domestic films, namely Wolf Warrior 2 with 5.683 billion yuan, Operation Red Sea with 3.65 billion yuan, Detective Chinatown 2 with 3.397 billion yuan, The Mermaid with 3.386 billion yuan, and Dying to Survive with 3.1 billion yuan.

Comparing the box office trend charts of "The Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior 2", it can be seen that the overall performance of "The Wandering Earth" surpasses the latter in all aspects, from the first day box office to the first week box office, which is higher than the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the same period. The box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 2.8 billion in 9 days after its release, and the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was 2.336 billion in 9 days after its release. The box office of the former is still on an upward trend, and the total box office is expected to exceed the 5 billion mark.
