Sun Hengqin, president of China Movie Metropolis 




At the event, Sun Hengqin, president of China Movie Metropolis, summarized how Chinese films from Qingdao to the worldwide in five aspects.


Behind this milestone is the strength and responsibility of a major country. Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University, said in his comments that the significance of the breakthroughs in The Wandering Earth series goes far beyond its contribution to the genre of science fiction films. More importantly, Chinese films are no longer limited to telling the stories of China and Chinese, but are trying to tell the stories of the world and human beings. It tells about the mission and responsibility of the Chinese people for the future of mankind. As director Guo Fan said, the reason why these shocking scenes can be presented is the development and progress of China's aerospace power and scientific and technological strength, and the cultural confidence of Chinese films.


China Movie Metropolis has witnessed a sense of mission and tenacity from the new generation of filmmakers. From the director to the producer, from the actors to the service staff, from the carpenters, welders and extras who make props, the birth of a great film embodies the efforts of countless participants, working day and night, striving for excellence. Every letter on every prop is carefully carved and well documented. The sense of mission and resilience shown by Chinese filmmakers, as well as the tireless pursuit of film professionalism, pushing Chinese film forward in great strides.


China Movie Metropolis has promotes "Chinese blockbusters", which is another degree of "Made in Qingdao" and "Great Power". The "space elevator" , the "planetary engine", the space station "Ark"... The film embodies the miracle project of human civilization, carrying Chinese people's romantic fantasy of the universe; The film uses a large number of real scenes, full of the unique temperament of "infrastructure fanatics". Science fictions is not water without a source, Great Power Heavy Industry is moving from backstage to the stage.


With the growing maturity of Qingdao film and television base, The Wandering Earth 2 almost completely supports each link of the whole industrial chain. At the forum, the leaders of Everfame, Cinemorph, Haihao Movies, Lingshan Bay Lingshan Technology, Manas Effects, SJ Works and other enterprises that participated in the production of the Wandering Earth were also present. As the outstanding leading enterprises in the film and television industry chain in Qingdao, they are participants and witnesses. More than 800 enterprises have settled down, in order to stabilize the chain of the film and television industry and constantly fill the gap. The accelerated agglomeration of industrial elements, will strongly promote the development of film production and the entire industry.


All levels policies and service supply are in place whenever necessary, making the film shooting smooth and efficient. The Wandering Earth 2 impressed fans with scenes such as Liuting Airport and the bridge across the sea. During the shooting, the coordination and service supply work was extremely complicated. All departments in Qingdao and the China Movie Metropolis provided all-round support and services, which was highly appreciated by shooting team. In 2022, the West Coast New Area Film and Television Center has provided more than 1,000 public services for the crew, including scenes, approval and personnel, becoming an indispensable part of the attraction of "blockbusters".
