Question

【題目】

China isn’t well known for its science fiction films, but recently a new film called The Wandering Earth has become a great success. It has earned over $697 million worldwide. It tells an amazing story of the Earth in danger, along with exciting scenes of spaceships and outer space.

The Wandering Earth is based on a story by Liu Cixin, who is famous for The Three-Body Problem. In the story, the

sun was dying out, people all around the world worked together to move Earth out of the solar system and sail Earth to a new star system. The film began with the early life of a young boy who was born just after the project started. The engineers pushed Earth away and built vast cities under the ground for the rest of the humans to live in. Yet the 2500 years’ journey came with all kinds of dangers. In order to save the humans, a group of young people came out and fought hard for the planet.

China is playing an increasingly important part in the film industry. Its growing middle class has seen the rise of film market across the country, and Chinese viewers have become an important part of film industry. Hollywood Projects like Iron Man 3 specifically filmed more scenes in China for its market. Chinese film industry is keeping growing. Just as Americans want to get into the Chinese market, Chinese filmmakers are looking for their way to the international market.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Wandering Earth is China’s “first space” film. Chinese science fiction writer, Anna Wu, says science fiction “is a new challenge for the Chinese film industry.” Some Chinese filmmakers have achieved a great success at this kind of film, but most of them still have a long way to go.

Still, Wu notes that within China, “Not all the science fiction films have had success. It still takes time to accept science fictions,” and that with the development of our country, people are “getting busier, wealthier and more stressed,” which creates a perfect environment for this new kind of film and television. The Wandering Earth, she says, is a good example. “I also care about the money it earns, which will affect the future of Chinese science fiction films.”
