        The Wandering Earth(流浪地球), China's first successful movie whose background is space, as shown on February 5. It is based on(基于)a short story of the same name by Liu Cixin, China's top  science—fiction writer.

        ⒈Capsule(太空舱)—a core(核心)element(要素)

At first, the production(制作)team planned to use a small space capsule that had appeared in an earlier film, but found that it could not meet their needs for filming.

        ⒉Giant vehicles(巨大的车辆)—key to the film

        Giant vehicles are the key element in the film. Famous actors, Ng Man—tat and Wu Jing, said they could not even imagine what these vehicles would be like before filming, because the idea was far ahead of our time.
