China has entered the cinematic space race. The Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster sci-fi, is on track to be one of the most successful films in China’s history.
Set in the distant future, the governments of the Earth, faced with destruction from an unstable sun, have strapped thrusters (助推器) onto the planet, carrying it out into the universe in search of a new home. But as the Earth approaches the Jupiter, something goes wrong in the system puts it on course to crash into the planet. Therefore, countless people have come forward to face the challenge and save the Earth.
The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi—a field that has long been dominated by Hollywood.
China is already home to a thriving science and speculative fiction literary scene. The Wandering earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo Award, “The Wandering earth fills the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies. It means that China’s sci-fi movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on Douban.
China’s film market is expected to overtake the US as the world’s largest by 2022, but there is still a long way to go. The main difference between Chinese and US audience is trust. “Building trust between producers investors and the audience is the biggest challenge here. Not so many people have faith in a Chinese sci-fi movie.” said Liu. the author of the novel.
Some noted that unlike many Chinese blockbusters, The Wandering earth dials back on the patriotism. Rescue teams from around the world scramble to get the thrusters back up and running. A Russian soldier sacrifices his life to help a Chinese colleague.
“This is not a patriotic film but a film about humans saving themselves,” one reviewer said.

China has entered the cinematic(电影制作的) space race. Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest grossing (票房收入) films in China’s history.
The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far, it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office（票房收入）.
Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.
“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban.
The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre(类型；体裁) that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.
Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.”
Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes（剧情漏洞） and cloying of sentimentality（刻意煽情） — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.
In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “Of course we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”
1.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word?
A.非常成功的事物 B.非常成功的人
C.外星人 D.英雄人物
2.What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Positive D.Uncaring.
3.Which of the following does not belong to Chinese-made sci-fi film?
A.Shanghai Fortress B.Wandering Earth
C.Pathfinder D.Avatar
4.Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film?
A.The theory. B.The ending.
C.The special effects. D.The plot holes.

China was a latecomer to space exploration, and in the movies, it has been a latecomer to science fiction, too. That is about to change. The country's first blockbuster (大片)set in space, The Wandering Earth, opens Tuesday with great expectations that it will represent the dawning of a new age in Chinese filmmaking. The film also opens with the Lunar New Year, the beginning of an official，weeklong holiday that is traditionally a peak box-office period in China. It has a limited show in the United States, Canada，Australia and New Zealand.
The Wandering Earth, shown in 3-D, takes place in a distant future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and destroy the Earth. The approaching danger forces the world’s engineers to make a plan to move the planet to a new solar system using giant thrusters (推进器).Things go very badly when the Earth has to pass the Jupiter, setting off desperate disturbance to save humanity from ruin.
The film comes as China reached a milestone(里程碑)in space : the landing of a probe (探测器)on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind Russia and the United States, China has now put astronauts in orbit and has ambitious plans to join or even lead a new age of space exploration.
''I think there is a very close connection between Chinese cinema and the nation's fortunes,'' said Sha Dan, a leader at the China Film Archive, ''When we have the ability to rescue our people abroad, we can make movies like Operation Red Sea. Only when China can enter the space age can we make works like The Wandering Earth. ''
The Wandering Earth takes for granted China's central role in future space exploration，but it also has a vision of the international teamwork necessary to deal with the threats facing the planet, a theme that runs deeply through the film.
1.What does the author think of The Wandering Earth?
A.It is a success in science-fiction films.
B.It is a hit in the oversea film markets.
C.It is the beginning of Chinese filmmaking.
D.It is only a present for the Lunar New Year.
2.What causes the Earth to wander in space?
A.A new solar system.
B.A new planet like the Earth.
C.The expanding sun in a distant future.
D.A deadly disease for people on the Earth.
3.What is reflected throughout The Wandering Earth?
A.The importance of heroes.
B.The threats from explorations.
C.The nation's power of China.
D.The international cooperation.
