Especially for the high competence of the Hollywood movie industry from its monopoly of genre movies, it is full of challenges to surpass the great achievement and influence of Hollywood. This paper is going to provide a summarization of the movie creativity of the series The Wandering Earth by reading literature. These summarized innovations will then be along with appropriate analysis which is targeting to explain their exact influence on filmmaking, the film market, and the audiences. As a result, future developing suggestions for Chinese science fiction movies are presented based on the recent movie industry status quo.
