The costume war action movie "the Gate of Si" is showing its edge at the Shanghai Film Festival
The ancient costume war action film "Gate of Sand Sea" jointly produced by Oriental Beauty (Beijing) Film Co., Ltd., Beijing Baina Qiancheng Film and Television Co., Ltd., Zhongjing Sports Entertainment Co., Ltd. and Beijing Tangde International Film Culture Co., Ltd. was unveiled at the Shanghai International Film Festival on June 11. The film, based on the high-score novel "No Door in the Sand Sea," written and directed by Wu Youyin, tells a historical legend full of compassion and heroism, desolation and determination, which has been highly anticipated from the early stages of preparation.
The picture is full! The original novel was "requested" by readers to be made into a movie
After a once-in-a-century sandstorm, Zhang San, a soldier, encountered Li Si, an enemy aristocrat in distress in the desolate desert. The kind-hearted Zhang San only wanted to go home with his saved military pay and live a simple life of his wife and children, while Li Si, who had a shrewd heart, had a more ambitious ideal. Regardless of origin or destination, the two people were very different in the 800-mile desert sand. Their paths were different, but in order to escape, they still had to rely on each other and face the Wanli Sand…
Wu Youyin's novel "No Door in the Sand Sea" was published in 2019. Readers who have read the novel have expressed that "the picture is full" and "it is simply a hearty movie", and "demand" that it must be made into a movie in the future. This is also the goal of the author Wu Youyin. He once said in his Weibo that he must finish filming this film,"Nothing can stop me." Again and again, the scenery is difficult. If one year doesn't work, two years. If two years doesn't work, three years. The crew has done the most serious preparations, everyone is silent and determined, and I believe that heaven rewards hard work. The flag of compassion must fly above the walls of Mingsha Castle. Zhang San at dawn will definitely complete his redemption, and Li Si at midnight will definitely embark on his journey."
Sparrow versus goshawk! "Human Trilogy" Part II Launch Poster Stunning Four
On June 11, the ancient costume war action film "The Gate of the Sand Sea" finally appeared at the Shanghai International Film Festival. Director Wu Youyin introduced the film and the spiritual idea he wanted to elaborate to the media and industry insiders present on the same day. At the same time, the film also released a concept poster for the first time: on the poster, a sparrow with an arrow stood upright on the water surface, but what was reflected in the water was a goshawk with wings wide open. This is exactly the message Wu Youyin and his works have always wanted to convey to the public: weak Zhang San is like a sparrow, a sparrow may not have lofty aspirations, but it still has strong vitality under desperate circumstances, just like all living beings. And the origin and direction of all these are all thoughts,"big thoughts and small thoughts, good thoughts and evil thoughts, birds and dogs; Zhang San Li Si is all beings, eight hundred miles of quicksand is life, the great mind, a thought of heaven, a thought of hell."
In 2018, Wu Youyin's screenwriter's film "Antarctic Love" won audience recognition after its release, that is, at that time, he developed a small "ambition"_to create a "human trilogy." If "Antarctic Love" expresses his interpretation of pure love, then "The Gate of Sand Sea" as the second part of "Human Trilogy" is his presentation of extreme friendship. Why do two people with different ideals, different purposes and completely different looks become "friends" who appreciate each other and are difficult to be compatible under desperate circumstances? Wu Youyin has great enthusiasm and expectation for this story. He admitted that it was very difficult to make the film, but he would finish it anyway. "The novel is a mighty river, the script is a rugged mountain road. One goes far away, the other goes high." It is also out of this persistent and rigorous creative attitude that Wu Youyin completed the screenplay creation of this film, and also received the expectation and attention of the outside world as scheduled.
The ancient costume war action film "The Gate of the Sand Sea" was filmed in Xinjiang at the end of June and will be available to audiences nationwide in 2024. More exciting, please wait!
