The Wandering Earth(流浪地球), China's first successful movie whose background is space, as shown on February 5. It is based on(基于)a short story of the same name by Liu Cixin, China's top science—fiction writer.
⒈Capsule(太空舱)—a core(核心)element(要素)
The space capsule used in the film has made the audience(观众)interested. "This was the first time anything like that was done, "said Wang Hong, the producer(制片人)of the movie. At first, the production(制作)team planned to use a small space capsule that had appeared in an earlier film, but found that it could not meet their needs for filming.
⒉Giant vehicles(巨大的车辆)—key to the film
Giant vehicles are the key element in the film. Famous actors, Ng Man—tat and Wu Jing, said they could not even imagine what these vehicles would be like before filming, because the idea was far ahead of our time.
The production team made about 10, 000 props(道具)to show the space better, including the giant vehicles.
⒊Saving planet itself
In the film, the earth itself is pushed forward by 10, 000 giant
thrusters(推进器). It carries 3.5 billion people about 4.2 light years
through space in order to avoid destruction(破坏)by the dying sun.
In Liu's story, each thruster is 11, 000 meters in height.
⒋Amazing opening
At the beginning of the film, it shows the environment and life in an
underground city—a big tree growing upside down, busy bookstores and snack bars and so on. There are also many snow scenes (片段)throughout the whole film.
