This film is recommended for primary and secondary school students to watch[3].

"The Wandering Earth" is one of the most popular movies in recent years. It is adapted from Liu Cihang's novel and stars Wu Jing and Wu Mengda. It is the first science fiction masterpiece. All of this has made the audience full of expectations. The Wandering Earth did not disappoint the audience after its release, eventually earning a box office of 4.7 billion and a good reputation.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but at the end of this movie, I specifically thanked Wu Jing and Andy Lau.

It is very normal to thank Wu Jing, because Wu Jing brought money into the group and also made a friendly guest appearance. But Andy Lau has nothing to do with this movie, so why should the movie specifically thank Andy Lau?

In fact, the success of "The Wandering Earth" is largely thanks to Ning Hao. It can be said that Guo Fan had many difficulties when filming this movie, and Ning Hao, as an already famous director, also has a When competing with "Crazy Alien" and The Wandering Earth, he gave Guo Fan a lot of help, and even lent the filming props to Guo Fan for free.

Ning Hao’s success cannot but be attributed to Andy Lau’s help. At that time, Ning Hao was still an unknown little director, while Andy Lau, as a superstar, started his own "Asian Rising Star Director" project. Andy Lau indirectly helped Guo Fan. In 2005, Ning Hao got a script called "Crazy Stone", but he was just a small director and had no chance of getting investment. Then he heard that there was a man from Hong Kong who had 25 million in his hand and could invest in good scripts. Then he went with the mentality of giving it a try. As a result, after he read the script, he gave Ning Hao 3 million to make a movie without saying a word. It is because of this Hong Konger that Huang Bo and Ning Hao are now.

If Ning Hao is a thousand-mile horse, then Andy Lau is his boss. Andy Lau invested heavily in helping Ning Hao and made his "Crazy" series an instant hit.

After Ning Hao got help and became famous, he began to help other talented directors. As Andy Lau said: If you know how, you must teach others. It was their help from generation to generation that gave birth to " The Wandering Earth is a masterpiece.
