"The Wandering Earth" will be released soon, Wu Jing said this year is the first year of Chinese science fiction movies

On the first day of the Chinese New Year (February 5, 2019), the movie of the same name adapted from Liu Cixin's classic work "The Wandering Earth" will be released. Wu Jing made a special appearance for free, playing the role of astronaut Liu Peiqiang who played a key role in the rescue plan.

On January 28, at the fan meeting of the movie "The Wandering Earth", Wu Jing said that 2019 is the first year of Chinese science fiction movies. He said: "Chinese science fiction fans have been waiting for so many years. They should have watched all the world-class (science fiction) films and their appreciation level is world-class. But they are still waiting for Chinese science fiction movies with tolerance, which I think is very cute."

Since it is endorsed by Liu Cixin's original work and the special effects in the trailer are not cheap, many netizens call "The Wandering Earth" "the first domestic science fiction blockbuster" and are looking forward to it.

Liu Cixin himself also praised the movie "The Wandering Earth", calling it an incredible Chinese science fiction blockbuster.

Liu Cixin said: "It was hard to believe that this was the first attempt at a Chinese science fiction blockbuster. Even by the standards of American science fiction films, it has reached first-class standards in all aspects. I have always believed that good science fiction is to describe the craziest fantasy as real as news reports. The scenes created by The Wandering Earth with a heavy epic texture have achieved this. At the same time, the film is the first to show the Chinese people's feelings for their homeland and home on a space scale, which is shocking."
