Twenty-three years ago, Liu Cixin's novel "Wandering Earth" was first published in the magazine Science Fiction World, which was founded in Chengdu. While it shocked the world, it also planted a seed of dream for Guo Fan who had just entered the university that year; Twenty-three years later, the film "Wandering Earth 2", which was the highlight of the Spring Festival, was also jointly produced by the E Film Group in Chengdu. Therefore, this film has a deep affinity with Chengdu. On February 3, Guo Fan came to Chengdu with the main creative team of "Wandering Earth 2". In an interview with the West China Metropolis Daily and the cover reporter, the talented young director opened his mind to reveal the story behind the film and his thoughts on the future development of China's science fiction industry. Guo Fan said that science fiction filmmakers have a lot of inspiration from science fiction literature. "I hope there will be more categories and perspectives of science fiction literature, so that our space and perspective of thinking can be better expanded." Since the release of "Wandering Earth 2", a dream for the science fiction film sown by the college entrance examination composition, the key plots such as "digital life" and "memory transplantation" have continued to arouse heated discussions among film fans. A sharp-eyed netizen found that film producer Gong Ge and director Guo Fan actually took the college entrance examination in 1999, and the composition title of that year was "If Memory Can Be Transplanted". In an interview, Guo Fan talked about the impact of the college entrance examination composition on him. Guo Fan said: "The composition in 1999 was science fiction in itself. When I saw this topic, I felt very interesting and was influenced by it imperceptibly. So some time ago, I was still wondering whether it was possible to turn this college entrance examination topic into a movie." In Guo Fan's view, this composition has something to do with digital life. "At that time, it may have planted a seed of imagination, which also caused teenagers like me to think in the process of growing up. I was very impressed by this matter, because I found that the topic was different from the one that the teacher had bet on before." Reporter: "Wanderer's Ball 2" was released abroad, and the score of rotten tomato and IMDb (Internet film database) was very high, compared with that of Hollywood peers, The gap between Chinese science fiction films and them is gradually narrowing. What are our strengths and weaknesses? Guo Fan: We are gradually getting closer to this distance, but we will move forward step by step. Just like when we make this film, you will find more difficulties than the first one. We thought it was a process from 1 to 2, but later found that it was very similar to the first film, that is, it changed from zero. When the scale, shooting difficulty and plot complexity of "Wandering Earth 2" have increased, we still don't know how to solve these new problems. We also joked that our shooting of "Wandering Earth" series is from workshop to construction site, and the next step may be the embryonic form of industrialization, which needs us to explore constantly. This time, we invited more than 20 interns from the Film Academy to work in various departments. They mainly helped us record mistakes. We have some problems every day. If we don't solve them in time, we may forget them in a day or two. electric
