On the afternoon of January 28, the theme roadshow of The Wandering Earth 2 entered Qingdao. Director Guo Fan, lead actors Wu Jing, Sha Yi, Wang Zhi and producer Gong Ge, director of photography Liu Yin, art/modeling/conceptual design supervisor Gao Ang, visual effects director Ding Yanlai and Xu Jian interacted with the audience after the screening and shared the behinscenes of the shooting in Qingdao.

Guo Fan once called Qingdao his "dream into reality." From "The Wandering Earth" to "The Wandering Earth 2", Guo Fan has forged an indisdisable bond with the China Movie Metropolis, the birthplace of the film.

"This is home for us, and it feels good to be home!" , Guo Fan said happily at the road show. In his opinion, every time he passes through Jiaozhou Bay tunnel, he feels very familiar, just like going home.

The creators of the Wandering Earth series are just as impressed by the coastal city as Guo Fan. Wu Jing said that he spent most of his time in the hotel and at the set (China Movie Metropolis). Although he didn't get to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qingdao, he enjoyed Qingdao beer "very well".

As Guo Fan has always chosen and believed that China Movie Metropolis has the unique hard and soft service of the film industry in China, in recent years, many Filmmakers have a special preference for Qingdao.

Wang Hong, a famous producer who has produced several films at China Movie Metropolis, was the first producer to buy a house nearby. Since then, many film and television producers have chosen to buy property in Qingdao and put their business in China Movie Metropolis. Zhang chiyu, director of Aone “Moon Man”, said, "The studio in the China Movie Metropolis has greatly improved our shooting efficiency. If there is a chance, I will definitely come back to the China Movie Metropolis." Art director Li Miao said, "I used to feel like I was drifting because I had to spend almost a year shooting a film outside my home. It's just like going to work. You can ride a bike or walk to the set from the neighborhood next door. It feels like home." Si ji, the founder of "Manas Effects", not only moved his company to Qingdao, but also set up a Weird Tales Club near the China Movie Metropolis, where he collected a variety of fantastic and magical themed design products. Huang Baorong, a famous artist, has been working at the China Movie Metropolis since the filming of “The Great Wall”. He said, "When I go to Beijing, I call it “a business trip”. When I go back to Qingdao, I call it “home”." ...

"The China Movie Metropolis, a place you don't want to leave." In the minds of more and more Filmmakers, here is not only a foreign home, but also where dreams setting sail.

During the roadshow, Ding Yanlai, visual effects director of The Wandering Earth 2, said, "When shooting The Wandering Earth 2, we wanted to play our own strength to present to everyone, hoping to become the confidence of Chinese science fiction films."

As a prequel to The Wandering Earth, The Wandering Earth II tells the story of the impending "solar crisis", the world is in danger, and the continuation of human civilization will face great challenges. Human decided to embark on Project Wandering Earth, taking the Earth out of the solar system in search of a new home. The film presents the audience with a broader view of the world and a higher standard of Chinese film industrialization.

Two serios of "The Wandering Earth" successively created a good performance, once again confirmed the strength of China's industrial science fiction film. Behind the industrialization of movies, Guo Fan said, is the progress of the whole era. "We completed The Wandering Earth 2, behind the support of our industrial base, productivity and advanced technology. It is not only the industrialization of the film, but the industrialization of our country that supports us to make this film."

As Guo Fan wrote at the end of the Wandering Earth 2: "If you want to have something you've never had, then you have to do something you've never done. It's not the end, it's the beginning again!" The story of The Wandering Earth is far from over, especially the future of China Movie Metropolis.

Today, China Movie Metropolis is making unremitting efforts to achieve the goal of "cultural power" . The future is coming, the dream can be expected! The "Digital Movie Metropolis" will continue to be upgraded and explore the establishment of a film industrialization standard system with Chinese characteristics, enabling the innovation and development of the film and television industry, and helping China move from a big film country to a strong film country.
