"That's because you didn't come to us at Ruida Group. We invest in movies and TV series regardless of subject matter or fame. We only look at the script and ability. For example, Director Guo's The Wandering Earth was also looking for investment everywhere, but it was never enough to start the project, so it finally came to me. After reading Director Guo's first handwritten script and some sketches of props and scenes, I decided to invest 300 million on the spot, and now the movie has been shot."

“Mr. Qiao is right. If it weren’t for the investment from Reda Group and the holographic cameras and special effects production support it provided, ‘The Wandering Earth’ wouldn’t be able to meet the audience so soon.” Director Guo Fan also echoed.

"Boss Qiao, my film Wolf Warrior 2 will be launched soon. When the time comes to ask for investment, please come to Boss Qiao. Don't refuse."

With the good foundation laid by "Wolf Warrior", the sequel "Wolf Warrior 2" has started filming, and it is not difficult to attract investment. However, in the entertainment industry, it is really hard to find an investor like Ruida Group who does not stuff actors, does not interfere with the director's casting, and does not interfere with the filming process. Since his debut, Wu Jing has been in too many crews, and has been a good actor, a villain, a stuntman, a martial arts instructor, and a director. He can be considered knowledgeable. He has never met an investor as easy to talk to as Ruida Group. Now that he has finally met one, he must hold on to it.

"Of course. I like the role of Leng Feng very much. If you want to shoot the sequel of Wolf Warrior and continue Leng Feng's story, of course I want to participate. If you need any money, just let me know."

No one had ever thought that hundreds of millions of film and television investments were finalized during a few people's casual chat. Other film and television companies are very cautious when investing in a project. They do all kinds of script analysis, character analysis, and market analysis over and over again, fearing that the investment will go down the drain. In the eyes of several people at the scene, Qiao Ruida, the richest man, is really rich, has a unique vision, and amazing courage. He agreed to invest without seeing the script, knowing the casting, and only hearing the name of the movie. In fact, they didn't know that Qiao Ruida was laughing like crazy at this moment. He used at least 2% of his strength to barely suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. That was "Wolf Warrior 60". In the previous life, the box office was 2 billion, breaking a series of domestic box office records and winning the box office champion. "Wolf Warrior 3" has now been replaced with a 2D holographic film, with special effects support provided by quantum supercomputing and artificial intelligence Jarvis. The viewing effect is even more explosive, and the box office will only be more. In just a few words, he got the investment rights of the movie "Wolf Warrior ". Qiao Ruida would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Wu Jing wanted to say something, but it was too late because everyone had already walked into the theater and were about to separate. Qiao Ruida took the two girls and, under the guidance of the staff, went to the front row to sit down. Director Guo and Wu Jing went to the front desk to host the premiere.

At 8:00 p.m., the premiere of the movie "The Wandering Earth" themed "Running Towards the Future" kicked off with a jubilant lion dance performance. The director of "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan, the original author and producer Liu Cixin, and Wu Jing, who made a special appearance, took the stage first. Liu Cixin first said that the movie "The Wandering Earth" is very "personal": "For the first time, "The Wandering Earth" shows the feelings of the Chinese people for their homeland and home on a space scale, which is shocking. I hope that more people can feel the charm of Chinese science fiction this Spring Festival, and feel this Chinese science fiction movie full of heaviness and Chinese emotions."

Facing the high evaluation of Mr. Liu Cixin, Director Guo Fan said frankly that he was "very nervous" and said, "We are like students facing a big exam, and now we have to hand in the paper with a nervous mood." Wu Jing, who was standing by, was completely different from Director Guo Fan's nervousness. Wu Jing seemed confident about "The Wandering Earth". He told the audience: "This movie is really difficult to shoot, but Director Guo did it! He has been very nervous recently, and I need to cheer him up and cheer him up! All the hard work is worth it." Faced with the support from all parties, Director Guo Fan felt warm. He thanked the soul of "The Wandering Earth" - the original author and producer Liu Cixin, and also thanked Wu Jing and the investor Reda Group. He also revealed on the spot that "Wu Jing was pitted".

Wu Jing responded on the spot that Guo Fan was a "fraudulent director". He complained: "When I first saw the director, it was as if I saw myself when I was filming "Wolf Warrior". I was inspired by him and agreed to make a cameo appearance in "The Wandering Earth". I didn't expect that this cameo would last for 31 days. So, "The Wandering Earth" 'fooled' me into it like this. In the end, I can only fight for our own science fiction movie!" The audience laughed and said, "Director Guo Fan made Wolf Warrior out of nothing." Thanks to Qiao Ruida's early intervention, the financial difficulties of the "Wandering Earth" crew were solved, and the situation where the lead actor Wu Jing brought money into the crew did not happen. His complaints about Director Guo were reduced to one of fooling investments. However, Wu Jing's progress from a guest appearance to a leading actor still happened naturally according to historical inertia.

In addition, Wu Jing also said: "This movie is actually a gift I want to give to my son. I want to plant a seed of imagination in his heart." Infected by the atmosphere, director Guo Fan leaned on the shoulders of Wu Jing and Liu Cixin to take photos on the spot. The scene was once very warm.

"Just listening to a few of us bragging here, it sounds like we are just bragging about ourselves. Now let's get to the main course and start watching the movie. Please comment on the quality of the movie after you have watched it."

Director Guo put down the microphone and signaled the staff to start playing the movie. The next moment, the lights in the viewing hall dimmed. Three bright beams of light were projected from different directions, interweaving and interfering with each other above the stage, forming a huge three-dimensional image area, with flowing light and shadow, colorful, like an independent image world. The first thing to appear was the dragon logo, followed by the animated LOGO of Ruida Group and the opening animation of Guo Fan Film Studio, which flashed by and the main film began soon.

The screening hall where the premiere was held was originally an IMAX giant screen screening hall. The screen hanging in front is 24.37 meters wide and 13.3 meters high, which is equivalent to 0.8 basketball courts. The entire hall can accommodate 526 viewers, which is the largest viewing hall in Emperor Cinemas. The medium-sized 3D holographic projector provided by Reda Technology could have projected larger images, but it was limited by the venue. The three-dimensional images generated now have specific dimensions of 22 meters wide, 14 meters high, and 10 meters in depth of field. The pictures are colorful and have a strong sense of three-dimensionality. Even the audience sitting in different positions in the hall see different images, as if everything in the film really happened not far ahead.

“At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster became closely related to everyone. Respect all things in the world, respect the earth, and face the future with a grateful heart.”

The familiar narration sounded, and the opening scene of the movie was the same as in the previous life, which was a series of natural disaster scenes, but with the holographic images, it was more realistic, more real, and more shocking. More than 500 audience members in the theater, including Qiao Ruida, were immediately attracted by the disaster scene, which was so heartbreaking. Many invited film critics took out paper and pen before the movie started, intending to write down their viewing experience, the plot of the movie, and the pros and cons of the movie, but at this time, their entire minds were attracted by the content of the movie, and they were reluctant to blink their eyes. As for recording, they had long forgotten it.

The main story of the movie is similar to the version that Qiao Ruida had seen in his previous life. It mainly tells the story of how humans launched the "Wandering Earth" plan to escape the solar system that is about to be destroyed, taking the earth with them to escape the solar system and find a new home for humans. The story is set in 2075. Scientists have discovered that the hydrogen elements inside the sun have been exhausted, and the internal high temperature has induced helium flash, causing the sun to age rapidly and expand, and is about to swallow the entire solar system, including the earth. In order to save themselves, humans proposed the "Wandering Earth" plan, which is to build tens of thousands of engines and steering engines on the surface of the earth to push the earth out of the solar system and rush to another habitat in 2500 years. People living five kilometers away from the underground city dream of returning to the upper part as soon as possible to see what the world is like. So Liu Qi took his sister Duoduo to forge an identity and ran out secretly, and accidentally discovered that the whole world was an ice kingdom of more than degrees below zero. Just as the global rescue team rushed to the rescue site to start the gravity engine, Liu Qi's vehicle was requisitioned, so Liu Qi passively joined the rescue team. Unexpectedly, the rescue failed and everyone living on Earth would lose their lives.

At the critical moment, Liu Qi thought of a special rescue method. After going through untold hardships, he finally started the engine on Earth. However, at this time, Jupiter's gravity was increasing, and Liu Qi's method was just one step away from success. Unfortunately, it still failed. Liu Peiqiang, Liu Qi's father, who was far away on the space station, secretly used the fuel on the space station to ignite the air to push the Earth out of Jupiter's orbit in order to save the Earth, his children and the next generation of everyone. He also left everyone forever with the explosion.

From the perspective of the plot, the film shows a thrilling adventure of mankind when the earth is facing the crisis of destruction. The choice of human nature is deeply reflected in it, with both the power of group cooperation and the greatness of individual sacrifice, which makes the audience have a strong emotional resonance. The main line is the relationship between Liu Peiqiang and Liu Qi, the father and son, and the transformation from contradiction to understanding, which highlights the importance of family and the depth of fatherly love, making the story more full.

The story is still the same story, but the details and presentation methods have undergone earth-shaking changes. With sufficient financial support, the props, costumes, and makeup in the film are obviously more refined, more attentive, and more in line with the social environment at the time. There are few goof shots, at least Qiao Ruida didn't find any. In terms of special effects presentation, the combination of quantum supercomputing + artificial intelligence + 3D holographic projectors is invincible. In a sense, they are equivalent to recreating a wandering earth world. It presents the audience with magnificent cosmic landscapes and terrible disaster scenes of the earth, as if bringing the audience into the abyss of the universe and the end of mankind. Whether it is a planetary impact or a large-scale self-explosion, the special effects are extremely realistic, giving people a strong visual impact and sense of substitution, allowing everyone to fully feel the charm of science fiction movies.

The movie "The Wandering Earth" is 125 minutes long. During the two hours of watching the movie, few people were willing to leave their seats to go to the bathroom. The movie was so exciting that everyone was afraid of missing out on the key plot. When the movie was over and the credits appeared, some viewers could no longer hold back and quickly ran to the bathroom to solve their urgent problem.

The credits came to the end, the lights in the theater came back on, but the scene became strangely quiet. The main creative staff, including Director Guo and Wu Jing, were walking to the stage, but the audience was still immersed in the plot of the movie, and for a long time they forgot to applaud. It was not until an audience member in an unknown corner started to applaud that everyone was awakened and followed suit. Soon, the warm applause rang out and lasted for a long time.

"Damn, this is so exciting. The plot is reasonable, the details are in place, and the special effects are stunning. It's hard to believe that what I just watched was actually a domestic science fiction film!"

"The director shot it well, the special effects were great, and the actors' acting was excellent. The holographic projection equipment also played a big role. This 3D holographic image presentation method is much better than the original 3D movies, and you don't need to wear glasses to watch the movie."

"I have a feeling that The Wandering Earth will be a box office hit, but I don't know if it can surpass the 24 billion of Monster Hunt and become the new box office champion."

"The movie is so wonderful that even I, a veteran who has watched thousands of movies, was immersed in it. It's really rare. The props are lifelike, the acting is explosive, and the special effects are amazing. It is even better than those Hollywood science fiction blockbusters. It is the pioneering work of domestic science fiction movies and deserves the title."

"It's so troublesome. I was so busy watching the movie that I didn't record anything. How should I write a movie review? It's really a headache."

“Hurry up and buy your tickets, and prepare for a second viewing. In order to write a brilliant film review, you have to spend money.”

"Have you noticed that in this movie, except for the lead actor Wu Jing and the main supporting actor Da Shu, most of the other actors are newcomers with little fame. But their acting skills are all online, which is amazing."

"Maybe it's the director's good training. Director Guo used to be very low-key in the circle. I didn't expect that he could handle a science fiction blockbuster of this scale at such a young age."

"Yes, once The Wandering Earth was released, Director Guo's status as the top science fiction director in mainland China was solidified, and his future is limitless." (End of this chapter)
