The space elevator, "the tallest building in human history", was officially unveiled. In the face of adversity, humans never back down and start a new journey with courage. At the same time, posters of "engine" and "space elevator" were also released, showing the sci-fi visual wonders from a unique perspective. All the past is a prologue, and in 2023, we will bloom with hope together.

The story of the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" revolves around the previous film "The Wandering Earth". It tells the story of the world falling into panic before the crisis and the beginning of the "wandering" of the earth. Ten thousand planetary engines are being built, and mankind is facing severe challenges of doomsday disasters. The film is directed by Guo Fan and produced by Liu Cixin. It is led by Wu Jing, Li Xuejian, Sha Yi, Ning Li, Wang Zhi, Zhu Yanmanzi, and Mr. Andy Lau has a special performance. It will be released nationwide on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2023.

The temperature dropped sharply, air battles continued, huge waves rolled, and meteorites attacked. The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" released the "Departure" trailer today. Under the doomsday crisis, the human living environment is dangerous, "Can we survive?", "Do you think this is fair?", "What about my daughter?" Accompanied by three heart-wrenching questions, the severe crises that followed one after another made humans overwhelmed.

But humans have not given up their desire to survive, and for this purpose they have built the tallest building in human history - the space elevator. This behemoth stands proudly in the sky and earth with its majestic appearance. The trailer shows this "steel behemoth" that spans the sky and earth with a long shot. As the elevator car rises into the air, humans' desire to survive, their fight against fate, and their exploration of hope all take off and explode the universe.

In the previous film, The Wandering Earth, astronaut Liu Peiqiang (played by Wu Jing) who took a risk to fight for his family once again rushed into space in a space suit. He staged an extreme fight in weightlessness, and every punch was thrilling. Faced with the conclusion that his daughter had died, engineer Tu Hengyu (played by Andy Lau) refused to accept it and shouted "She didn't!", which deeply showed his love and obsession as a father for his children. Zhou Zhezhi (played by Li Xuejian), the Chinese representative of the United Nations government, looked firm and believed that mankind could overcome the difficulties.

In the "Departure" trailer, "The Wandering Earth 2" also revealed more visual wonders. As one of the classic sci-fi elements in the history of sci-fi, the giant space elevator travels through the sky, connecting the earth and the universe. This is also the first time that a space elevator has appeared in a Chinese sci-fi movie, paying tribute to the classic while also bringing more surprises to the audience. The impressive planetary engine in the previous work has been fully optimized by the team, with amazing details and more magnificent momentum;

The lunar engine, which is very different from the planetary engine on Earth, is full of imagination, allowing the audience to feel "pushing away" the moon on the big screen. In contrast to the "big" is the team's presentation of the "small", with extremely fine prop details and design craftsmanship that are amazing. The improved space suits designed and produced by the team are more textured, and the diving suit weighing more than 80 kilograms also makes the underwater exploration plot better presented... One visual spectacle after another will take the audience into a real science fiction world.

In 2019, our own sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" ignited the enthusiasm of the Spring Festival moviegoers with its passion and touching moments, and its reputation and box office were recognized by the audience and the market. At that time, we started from scratch, crossing the river step by step by feeling the stones, and personally planted a sci-fi seed. After four years of filming and production, we are finally welcoming the movie "The Wandering Earth 2". With the irrigation and company of the audience, we have grown together, and the sci-fi seed is slowly sprouting in the continuous exploration.

"During the filming of The Wandering Earth 2, the Beijing Film Academy sent about 20 interns to the crew. What they did was to help us record our mistakes." Director Guo Fan said: "We must write down the mistakes we made and then review them. This will help us continue to accumulate film industrialization experience and let more students and more colleagues use it."

The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" is back again and fully upgraded. In order to make our science fiction realism convincing, the team specially invited 20 scientific consultants to form an expert team to jointly write a world view of more than 100,000 words to make the story of "The Wandering Earth 2" more solid. From zero to one and then to two, our imagination is richer. Director Guo Fan and the behind-the-scenes team built 102 science fiction main scenes, with a set area of ​​more than 900,000 square meters.

The team drew 5,310 concept designs, 9,989 storyboard drawings, produced more than 6,000 visual effects shots, and 95,000 props and costumes. Each link has been repeatedly scrutinized to turn imagination into reality. "Everything in the past is a prologue." The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" hopes to send the audience New Year's courage and blessings on the occasion of the 2023 New Year. Together with the audience, we will not indulge in the past, grasp the present, and face the future. In 2023, we still choose to believe in hope.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, take a 90,000-kilometer space elevator for a panoramic experience of grandeur and shock.

The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" is produced by China Film Co., Ltd., Guo Fan (Beijing) Film Co., Ltd., Beijing Dengfeng International Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and China Film Creative (Beijing) Film Co., Ltd., directed by Guo Fan, produced by Liu Cixin, starring Wu Jing, Li Xuejian, Sha Yi, Ning Li, Wang Zhi, Zhu Yanmanzi, with a special appearance by Mr. Andy Lau, and will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2023.
