Science fiction movies have become the greatest pleasure in his life and his persistent pursuit.
Why is Guo Fan so fond of science fiction? The answer may have been buried in his unique understanding of technology. Guo Fan is not only a science fiction enthusiast, but also gradually moving closer to scientific researchers. Under his influence, in 2016, China Film prepared to shoot Liu Cixin's "The Wandering Earth" and wanted to cooperate with international directors, but hit a wall many times. In the end, Guo Fan successfully became a director with 10 years of reserves and his love for science fiction.
Guo Fan made great efforts for the filming of "The Wandering Earth". He not only invested millions of funds for test shooting, but also personally supplemented the setting and created the script. The original ** micro era is just a short story, and the worldview, living environment, scientific and technological conditions shown in the film, as well as a lot of content presented in the film, are all derived from Guo Fan's originality. He weaves a cohesive timeline for the film, depicting a series of major events and crises facing humanity between 1977 and 2075.

In this film, Guo Fan shows a more magnificent cosmic wonder, which has attracted the attention of many scientific researchers.
The design language of the space elevator continues the concept of planetary engines and has been iteratively upgraded. Its huge mass needs to be loaded with the power system in several sections, which will be jetted like a rocket, and then switched to magnetic ascent and docking with the space station after reaching a certain altitude. In the process of returning to the earth, the problem of frictional heat generation is solved by the ice shield, and the return cost is saved by the instant freezing of space water injection.
In the film, Guo Fan's team pays tribute to Asimov's invention about ice, and its design complexity, reduction degree and rationality of local details have been unanimously recognized by scientific researchers. This rational design, combined with unbridled imagination, brings new inspiration to the field of scientific research.
In addition, the description of the metaverse, digital life, artificial intelligence, brain-computer system and other elements in the film resonates with on-site scientific researchers, further narrowing the distance between scientific research and science fiction.
