How did you and your team want to make “The Wandering Earth” different from previous Chinese sci-fi movies?

Director Frant Guo is a sci-fi fan so making a sci-fi movie has always been his dream. I’ve been working with him for years and we always wanted to make one together. However, our demands were high; if we were to make a sci-fi film, it has to be stylistically Chinese. In preproduction, we decided that “The Wandering Earth” had to be created by Chinese people and that we must reach a certain standard with workflow and production that would resonate with Chinese audiences. The images must be of good quality and in good taste; all the sets, costumes, and props needed to look authentic. Moreover, we decided not only to make this film a regular sci-fi film, but we were also trying to reach the next level of production quality. I am very proud to be part of the team.
