Inhalt:
"This handbook takes us through the making of The Wandering Earth, one of the highest grossing non-English films of all time. It is a rare, in-depth, behind-the-scenes study of the making of a masterpiece, taking the reader through the entire production process of a landmark Chinese science fiction film. The book brings to life how The Wandering Earth was created, from words to images, by a young and innovative professional team assembled by director Frant Gwo. It discusses specialised details of the filmmaking process and the collaborative work of the crew and the cast involved to present an intuitive feeling of the film's production. A step by step guide on the making of a radical large-scale film, this handbook critically examines its various stages such as, its development and production stages - the planning, preparing, recruiting, setting up departments and processes; writing the screenplay; creating a visual style and the production design; and the principal photography; its challenging post-production stages - the editing, visual effects production, colour mixing; dubbing, sound editing; publicity, etc.; Further, the chapters in volume also explore how Chinese science fiction films disrupt the Western narrative context and provide the larger discourse on Chinese science fiction. Richly illustrated with exclusive first-hand visuals from the making of the film, this handbook, part of the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series, will be an essential read for professionals, scholars, researchers, and students of film and media production, film studies, popular culture, cultural studies, Chinese studies, world literature, and science fiction. It will also be of interest to the general reader interested in filmmaking"--
