Since then, "Wandering Earth 2" has formally kicked off the industrialization of Chinese movies. The concept of "A COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED FUTURE FOR MANKIND," which is a cultural value of Chinese cinema, has given rise to ideas and possibilities for future Chinese science fiction movies. We conduct cultural values transmission via the dream of science fiction with Chinese elements. This study investigates the movie's cultural, aesthetic, and social values, with the goal of determining how to use the movie's cultural values to provide audiences with a higher level of aesthetic experience, to improve Chinese science fiction movies, and to improve the industrialization of Chinese movies.
