The filming studio for "The Wandering Earth".
The sparks from the welding torch never cease, day or night.
After the core cast of "The Wandering Earth" was finalized, Guo Fan, who had been worried for nearly two years, finally felt relieved.
He and his team plunged headfirst into building the set.
They fully implemented the industrialized filming process they learned in Hollywood into the project.
A 1:1 scale replica of the underground city living area, a life-size model of the transport vehicle weighing several tons, and the interior of the Navigator, built to 1:1 space station standards —
One by one, science fiction scenes that once only existed in sketches are gradually becoming reality in the hands of the workers.
Guo Fan spends every day in the studio, personally overseeing everything from every screw in the set to every detail of the props' aging process.
He was exhausted and his eyes were bloodshot, but he was as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
He would send Chen Xun a progress video every two days.
In the footage, he stands in the nascent underground city shed, smiling like a child: "Chen Xun, look! Our home is built! I've already separated all your scenes, and we're just waiting for your awards season to end so we can start filming anytime. Twenty days, and I guarantee it will be filmed perfectly, without delaying your 'Joker' filming schedule!"
Chen Xun watched the bustling film set in the video, his eyes full of smiles.
He is about to fly to Venice for the world premiere of "La La Land".
He spent the end of the year filming pre-awards, and after the Golden Globe Awards in January of the following year, he immediately returned to China to focus on filming all of Liu Peiqiang's scenes in "The Wandering Earth".
Filming for "Joker" began seamlessly in March.

Venice, Italy.
The red carpet on Lido Island was scorching hot under the Mediterranean sun.
The 73rd Venice International Film Festival has officially opened.
"La La Land," which served as the opening film, had its world premiere.
When Chen Xun and Emma walked side by side on the red carpet, the sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air.
Chen Xun, dressed in a black handmade suit, stood tall and straight, with clear and handsome features. He had shed Star-Lord's roguishness and Gao Chun's melancholy, and was now exuding Sebastian-style gentleness and romance.
Standing next to Emma, who was wearing a bright yellow dress, they looked just like Mia and Sebastian from a movie.
The two instantly became the focus of all the cameras.
The premiere was held at the Sara Grand Cinema, the main venue of the Venice Film Festival.
The theater, which can accommodate over a thousand people, was packed to capacity.
The world's top film critics, film festival selectors, and industry leaders were all present.
As the final shot of the film faded and the piano music slowly dissipated in the theater, the entire audience fell silent.
The next second, deafening applause erupted.
The entire audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
The applause lasted for a full fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding.
Many film critics had tears in their eyes, clapping and giving a thumbs-up to the creative team, repeatedly saying, "It's amazing!"
"Perfect!"
"Unbelievable!"
After its premiere, word-of-mouth spread like wildfire throughout the global film industry.
The Hollywood Reporter gave it a perfect score: "La La Land is a beautiful love letter to love and dreams. Damien Chazelle has created a musical classic that is destined to be recorded in film history with his ultimate cinematic language."
"Chen Xun and Emma Stone's performances are a match made in heaven. Chen Xun's portrayal of Sebastian is gentle yet obsessive, romantic yet tinged with regret. He used the most restrained acting to bring out the most turbulent emotions."
French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma praised Chen Xun's performance, saying, "Chen Xun's performance broke the established framework of male leads in musicals. Every look, dance step, and song he sang was precisely on the soul of the character."
"He gave the character of Sebastian a cross-border empathy."
According to the Venice Film Festival's daily ratings, La La Land topped the list with a score of 3.9 out of 4, securing its place as the number one contender for awards season.
Everyone knows that this movie will sweep the Hollywood awards season for the next six months.

The award presenter walked onto the stage with an envelope in hand, smiled and looked around the audience, deliberately slowing down his speech to whet everyone's appetite.
He opened the envelope, glanced down at it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then looked up into the microphone and clearly read out the name that would make history: "The winner of the 74th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Musical or Comedy is—Chen Xun, for *La La Land*!"

Chen Xun paused for a moment, then smiled.
He took a deep breath and gave director Damien and Emma a tight hug.
He straightened his suit collar and slowly walked onto the podium, a symbol of Hollywood's highest honor.
Receiving the heavy Golden Globe trophy from the presenter, my fingers touched the cool metallic texture, and my heart surged with emotion.
He stood in front of the microphone, looking at the audience who had all stood up and at the countless cameras pointed at him, and slowly began to speak in fluent English: "Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, thank you Damien, thank you to my partner Emma, thank you to everyone who contributed to this film."
"Thank you, La La Land, for telling us that even though dreams and regrets always go hand in hand, we must still bravely chase the light."
He paused, looked at the camera, and said with a touch of tenderness, "I want to dedicate this award to my homeland, China. I want to tell all Asian actors who, like me, harbor dreams of making movies, don't be afraid, don't stop, boldly move forward. Skin color and nationality have never been shackles on our pursuit of dreams. Thank you everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in prolonged applause once again.
History was rewritten at this moment.
