The shooting cycle spanned two winters, with a team of 7000 actors, 86 domestic and foreign Post special effects production companies, and more than 12000 subtitles. Recently, with the box office of the film "shuimen bridge of Changjin Lake" exceeding 4 billion yuan, the total box office of the series of films of Changjin Lake reached 9.779 billion yuan, A total of more than 200 million people watched the film. "Changjin Lake" series of films set many records in Chinese film history. Behind its success is a battle full of sense of mission for Chinese filmmakers. Set knot "I hope this film can make the martyrs remembered by more people. They are the most lovely people." In July 2019, the Changjin Lake project was officially launched. This is a super large-scale film with high requirements for investment and main creators. What is particularly difficult is that the film is ready to be released in the autumn of 2020 as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army's war abroad. Time is tight. When the shooting team was just completed, the sudden epidemic forced the shooting to be postponed for one year at the beginning of 2020. In the past year, three directors, Tsui Hark, Chen Kaige and Lin Chaoxian, successively joined the shooting team. "Shooting the theme of the Changjin Lake campaign is very stressful and meaningful." Lin Chaoxian still remembers the mood when he took over the script. "After completing the division of script and structure, there are more than a dozen coordination groups to coordinate and communicate with Fu Huadao, actors and shooting plans." Director System Huang Jianxin said. The tranquil and tranquil water town in the south of the Yangtze River unfolded slowly like a picture scroll. The soldier Wu Qianli went home with the ashes of his eldest brother Wu Baili. He told his parents that the war was over and that he would build a new house for his family at the beginning of next spring. In the twinkling of an eye, the army sent a call order. All the soldiers of the seventh company were called back and said goodbye to their families again. This is the beginning of the film Changjin lake. "When you go back to your hometown and go to war for your country, you are connected to your country." "We need to show the cruelty of war and the meaning of sacrifice through films. Only in this way can young people feel that victory is hard won," Chen Kaige said Wang Shuzeng, a history consultant, said that the Gaima plateau where the war took place belongs to an alpine zone. During the war of Changjin lake, the minimum temperature was even lower than minus 40 degrees Celsius. "Due to the limitation of national strength at that time, most of the soldiers who went to the battlefield did not have complete cold proof clothes. The U.S. military not only had first-class weapons and equipment, but also had first-class clothing and equipment. It is conceivable how much our army would pay when the two armies fought in ice and snow." Wang shuran said, "only by increasing the enemy's fighting spirit can we show a better performance." There is such a scene in the film: after the entrance ceremony on the train, 50000 Li pulled open the door. Outside the carriage, the Great Wall in the mountains came into view, shrouded in the wanzhang glow, and the soldiers were shocked by what they saw. In the original script, the scene was not so magnificent. It was enlarged by Chen Kaige: "the deepest impression of the Great Wall is that it always exists tenaciously. It is a spiritual symbol. To resist the enemy outside the country, this car of people is the great wall of flesh and blood, which sublimates into a spiritual power." Chief producer Yu Dong said that the production of the film can be described as "a great responsibility and a glorious mission". "Changjin lake is a film for our generation to resist US aggression and aid Korea. I hope this film can make the martyrs remembered by more people. They are the most lovely people." Yu Dong said, "the soldiers of the volunteer army fought bravely and bravely against strong enemies, creating a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak in the history of World War. The great spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea is still flowing in the blood of the Chinese people, encouraging people to face any difficulties." Forging "Making this film well is not only a job, but also a responsibility" In Changjin lake, Wu Qianli returns home from the battlefield. After seeing his brother Wu Wanli, Wu Qianli plays and fights together. Wu Qianli groups Wu Wanli into a "steamed stuffed bun face". This scene appeared again in the shuimen bridge of Changjin lake. At the critical moment, Wu Qianli handed over the important task to Wu Wanli. He once again organized Wu Wanli into a "steamed stuffed bun face". Wu Jing, who plays Wu Qianli, said that this is actually the action he usually plays with his son. He applied it to the film in the hope of portraying the characters more flesh and blood. Chen Kaige especially emphasizes the value and significance of characterization to the film. "A good film, in the final analysis, is about people." "Changjin Lake" series of films take the seventh company of the hero company and its brother troops as the main line, "we have made great efforts to think about the two characters of wuqianli and wuwanli, hoping to expand their brotherhood to the whole seventh company. I think" Changjin Lake "is a battle story condensed by brotherhood." Chen Kaige said. In Wu Jing's view, as the company commander, Wu Qianli is like a brother. He should take care of the 157 soldiers of the company and hope them to go home safely. "He bears a lot of emotions and responsibilities. He is a person with a soft heart and a strong appearance." Wu Wanli's role is easy to talk. When he talks about Wu Wanli's role, he said, "war has transformed him into a real fighter. He no longer wants to be a hero, but gradually understands his mission." In Tsui Hark's previous shooting experience, in most cases, the director proposed the desired effect, which was realized by the actors. This time, he experienced an unprecedented feeling when shooting Changjin lake. "Actors have high requirements for themselves, and often they put forward the degree they want to achieve. This is an experience I have never had. I have never seen any cast actors who can constantly discuss for each play. They communicate with me almost once or even several times a day." Tsui Hark said. At the end of shooting every day, the actors always get together to discuss how to shoot today and how to shoot tomorrow. "They turned themselves into a group and brought the emotions of life into the film, so every move in the film is very real. The characters in the story moved everyone. Making a good film is not only a job, but also a responsibility." Huang Jianxin said. Charge "Everyone was very involved and did their best to overcome all difficulties." Recalling the shooting process of the film, "high difficulty" is an inseparable word in the mouth of directors. Sometimes, there are 6000 or 7000 staff working on the scene at the same time. Many scenes involve night scenes, and the production requires a lot of special effects synthesis... A series of problems beyond the scope of previous experience have made shooting a lot of challenges. Huang Jianxin, for example: "for example, tanks, our tank props can run. The tanks are brand-new when shooting 'Incheon landing', but they have to be smashed at the back. If the coordination is not good and the shooting sequence is wrong, the tanks will disappear." "Cold is the biggest problem." Tsui Hark said that in order to let the audience have a more realistic feeling, the shooting was carried out in a very low temperature. "Ordinary people have difficulty even talking normally, and the actors have to say their lines and perform." In addition, when shooting scenes fighting in the wind and snow, we can't rely on natural wind and snow alone. There are three teams in the light blowing group. "This is a big project. Every time you change a scene, you have to spend a lot of manpower and time arranging wind making tools." Tsui Hark said that the more difficult thing is to make snow. "The film often needs to combine three kinds of snow floating in the air, in the background and on the face. The snow on the ground also needs to consider safety issues, so that the actors can stand and complete the action smoothly." "The three directors did their best, and everyone was particularly involved. They did their best to overcome all the difficulties." Huang Jianxin said, "Director Chen Kaige, who is very familiar with the history of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, is responsible for grasping the historical tone and giving full play to the characterization and emotional expression of characters; director Tsui Hark shows imaginative aesthetic expression with his good film technology and grasp of commercial films; Director Lin Chaoxian strictly grasps the action drama and war scenes, so that the audience can feel a strong and real experience." The shooting process impressed the actors and felt a lot. Wu Jing recalled that one day when shooting, the lowest temperature was close to minus 37 degrees Celsius, and the actors were wearing thickened underwear, warm clothes and thick cotton clothes. On the set, the director arranged a cannon to blow the snow because the wind was not strong enough. "The wind poured into our body with his neck, numbing half of our faces. Tears couldn't stop flowing down, but we had to keep our eyes open." Wu Jing said, "at that time, we thought that the soldiers of the volunteer army were short of food and clothing, but they still tenaciously assumed their responsibilities, which made people respect." arrive "Chinese filmmakers have the responsibility and obligation to make their own voice" There are many war scenes in the "Changjin Lake" series of films. The fire is burning into the sky, which makes people feel immersive. This effect depends on the technical support of special effects. "Nowadays, we use technology to realize film. We can only think of it, but we can't do it." Yu Dong said, "in the past, such a large-scale war film was made by aerial photography, mobilizing a team of more than 100000 people to participate in the film, and the explosion was all real explosion. But in Changjin lake, the explosion point in front of the actors was very small, which was amplified by special effects technology." China's "Long Jin Lake" and "water gate bridge of Chang Jin Lake" have mobilized 86 post production companies to participate in special effects and technical support, most of which are Chinese companies. Yu Dong said: "we have gathered excellent domestic technical forces into these two films. This cooperation truly reflects the technical level of Chinese films and has reached the world-class level of similar themes. Moreover, the design and implementation of each character's modeling, behavior and emotion in the film have been tested for at least 10 rounds and fixed with thousands of drawings, so that all details can be completed accurately during shooting. "This is a particularly complex production process." Huang Jianxin said that based on the parallel shooting of three large groups of directors, Changjin lake has established a "hub center" to uniformly handle the shooting needs, collect shooting materials and complete post production. Yu Dong believes that the success of the two films is of great significance to China's film industry. "When the film started shooting, from a global perspective, there were relatively few films with a box office of more than $1 billion. The success of the" Changjin Lake "series of films is not only a good box office performance, but also a milestone in boosting the confidence of China's film industry." Yu Dong said. Some netizens once asked whether the film "Changjin Lake" has "colored eggs". Someone replied: "when you go out of the cinema and see our life today, mountains and rivers are intact, which is the biggest" colored eggs " Reviewing the shooting process, Yu Dong said: "the international description of the war is mainly from a Western perspective. Chinese filmmakers have the responsibility and obligation to make their own voice and let the world know the truth of the battle." (lookout)
