Shortly after the lights come on, a man jumps from his seat and shouts at the movie audience as if his favorite football team had just scored a goal: „I want to announce: ‘Wandering Earth‘ is brilliant! China’s science fiction is brilliant! The Chinese are brilliant!!!“ Some moviegoers react with reserved clapping. Others reach for their heads at witnessing this bizarre scene. A video of the outburst went viral on the internet not long after.
