"The Wandering Earth 2" Director Guo Fan: We are overtaking Hollywood in this regard

The "made in China" sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth 2" is undoubtedly one of the most popular movies during the Spring Festival this year, as can be seen from the film's rising box office. After watching "The Wandering Earth 2", some viewers not only praised it repeatedly, but also developed a strong interest in the production behind the film. So, can such a high-quality sci-fi film really compete with Hollywood blockbusters? Let's see what the film's director Guo Fan said.

Recently, Guo Fan talked about the topic of "technology and hard work" in "The Wandering Earth 2" in an interview with the media.

Regarding the question of "How do you view the support of related industries behind "The Wandering Earth 2", Guo Fan said: We have made great progress in set design, props, costumes, etc., which is very worthy of pride.

He also revealed that compared with the first part, the second part has upgraded the product logic of props. Through 3D printing, digital control machine tools, laser engraving and other methods, it is produced in the same way as parts, and then mass-produced through assembly. In this way, production efficiency is greatly improved.

This upgrade is actually a process of innovation and integration, applying the country's existing high-tech technologies to our production.

Guo Fan also emphasized that due to the solid productivity and production technology, these products will be very efficient when used in movie scenes, props production, etc.

I personally think that in this regard, compared to Hollywood, we are in a process of "overtaking on a curve", and now we are basically on par with their top level.

According to CNMO, as of press time, "The Wandering Earth 2" has been released for 24 days and its total domestic box office has exceeded 3.69 billion yuan, ranking among the top ten Chinese movie box office charts.

When asked "What are your expectations for the overseas market for "The Wandering Earth 2"?", Guo Fan said: I particularly hope to expand overseas distribution...but this requires a process, including how to connect with overseas distributors and conduct external publicity, which may be another topic.
