Liu Cixin: The Wandering Earth 2 is an original work rather than a novel adaptation, surpassing the previous work

The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" is currently in theaters. According to CCTV News, Liu Cixin, the original author of the novel "The Wandering Earth", spoke highly of the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" when he was interviewed.

Liu Cixin said: "This film is original and not adapted from a novel, which has given us great encouragement. It is very shocking. From special effects to performances and stories, it surpasses the first film in all aspects."

Liu Cixin pointed out that it is usually difficult for a sequel to a series of movies to surpass its previous one, but "The Wandering Earth 2" did it.

Regarding the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" which is also currently on the air, Liu Cixin also recognized its high degree of restoration of the content of the novel. "The TV series "The Three-Body Problem" that I have seen so far has used television images to accurately restore the content of the book, which is in line with the imagination of the author and readers." Liu Cixin said that for science fiction, images are much more powerful than words.

In the comment section, a netizen said: "The success of The Wandering Earth 2 lies in the fact that the entire creative team tells us that even if the adaptation does not follow the original work or even changes a lot, as long as the core of the original work is grasped, understood, and recognized, richer stories and better stories can be created on this basis." "2023 is the year of science fiction. Science fiction movies represent the highest production standards of film industrialization! Come on, little broken ball, come on, Chinese movies"
