Today, the film "East Pole Island" co-directed by Guan Hu and Fei Zhenxiang released a plot trailer for the "Massacre at Sea" version. A rescue attempt in desperate situations let the world know the blood and kindness of the Chinese people. In 1942, a Japanese cargo ship carrying 1816 British prisoners of war was accidentally hit in the waters near Zhoushan. Faced with the sinking crisis, the Japanese army intended to seal all prisoners of war alive in the bilge and sink them into the sea together with the ship. An inhuman "massacre at sea" was staged! In the face of atrocities, the unarmed Zhoushan fishermen were not afraid of Japanese guns and went out to sea to save people with their blood. Once the trailer was released, it aroused heated discussion among netizens. The feeling of tightness of the sunken cabin came to our face, and the feeling of death oppression was so real that it was suffocating. Many viewers shouted: "Watching the scene made me feel cold and my scalp numb!"
Not only is the plot extremely impactful, but the visual effects of the film are also breath-taking, and the blockbuster is full of texture. In order to present the realism of the shipwreck rescue, the crew built a prisoner of war ship 1:1, striving to be realistic from the four-section hull structure to the airtight cabin door, truly creating a giant ship that "can withstand the 12-level wind". The audience lamented one after another: "It's as if I really saw the ship sinking in front of my eyes. I have to go to the cinema to experience the shock on the big screen!" The film is co-directed by Guan Hu and Fei Zhenxiang, written by Chen Shu, Zhang Ji and Dong Runnian, Liang Jing is the producer and chief producer, Zhu Yilong, Wu Lei and Ni Ni are the leading stars, and Yang Haoyu, Chen Minghao, Ni Dahong, William Franklin Miller, Li Jiuxiao, Wang Yiquan and other actors will star and will be released nationwide on August 8.
Exposing the dust of the Japanese army's crimes, prisoners of war in prison at sea, and killing islanders on the island
In times of crisis, he did not hesitate to go out to sea to save people when he saw the Chinese people taking on the guns
In the previously released previews, the fisherman brothers Ah Yi (Zhu Yilong) and Ah Dang (Wu Lei) caught the audience's attention as soon as they appeared. The black skin was bright, the muscles were clearly defined, and the screen was full of "wild tension". Come on. The two made a living by going out to sea to collect treasures on weekdays. Unexpectedly, what they caught this time was not seafood treasures, but a "man with yellow hair and blue eyes" they had never seen before. The appearance of this British prisoner of war Newman (William Franklin Miller) also revealed a shocking truth: a Japanese cargo ship loaded with 1816 British prisoners of war was sinking, and the Japanese decided to lock all the prisoners in the bottom cabin. The trailer shot directly targeted the Japanese army's heinous crimes, and the so-called "prisoner transporting ship" was reduced to a "tomb of living people at sea." Under the gap in the hatch are densely packed together in the darkness. The living are coughing and skinny, the dead are floating in the cabin where the water is submerged. The bodies are crowded with the living. The deadly infectious disease dengue fever is spreading wantonly in the dark and smelly cabin. Everyone's deep-seated eyes were full of despair, staring at the only light of the hatch that was out of reach. The suffocating and oppressive feeling of "one look into the soul" directly dragged the audience into this scalp-tingling "purgatory on earth" scene.
However, the gears of sin have not stopped. Knowing that a prisoner of war escaped, the Japanese army waved a butcher knife at the East Pole Island in order to cover up this shocking crime. They went to the island to frantically search for "people with yellow hair and blue eyes". Innocent fishermen fell in pools of blood, and children were not spared the cold bayonet... In order to completely block the news, the Japanese army even ordered the village to be slaughtered. Faced with atrocities, what choices should the East Pole fishermen make? Give in, watch, or watch innocents die at the bottom of the sea? Their answer was to resolutely resist atrocities and go to sea to save people. There were many high-burning moments in the trailer that made people's blood swell: in the wind and waves, Ah Yi grabbed the rope and the blue veins burst out, and the outpost was covered in blood. In the next second, he looked up like a "god of death"; Ah Dang braved Japanese guns and guns to pull out prisoners of war from the cabin one by one, and shouted out with a trembling cry of "rescue", shouting out the youth's blood; Ah Hua sonorous sentence,"The ancestors said that if there is any danger at sea, they will be rescued", expressing the simple and kind nature of the Chinese people. and responsibility. How can a small fishing boat withstand a strong ship and artillery? How could unarmed China fishermen be successfully rescued under artillery fire? Can the truth pierce lies and make crimes come to light? Just wait until August 8 to walk into the theater and reveal the truth!
1:1 Real-life shipbuilding creates a "prison at sea" water drama filming explores a new path to industrialization
Zhu Yilong and Wu Lei were "shocked and immersed" Japanese actors "have never seen such a big production"
This prisoner of war ship, which looks like a "prison at sea", is one of the most challenging live-action shooting scenes in the film. The crew chose the most difficult shooting method: real-life construction and building a ship from scratch. Art director Zhao Ziran said: "There is very little information about the prisoner ship online. The image data left behind are only five or six photos, which is not enough to design it. We found its sister ships and used the data of those 26 ships to calculate." Since the movie tells the story of two days, and the giant ship has to show different sinking states, the crew divided and built four major parts: the middle section of the ship, the side of the ship, the front deck, and the prisoner of war cabin, vividly showing the whole process from "being hit by a torpedo" to "completely sinking". The scene on the side of the ship in the trailer was particularly shocking. Hundreds of British prisoners of war struggled to climb on the side to try to escape, but were fired by Japanese machine guns and fell into the sea one after another. Behind this strong visual impact is the support of more than 20,000 square meters of real-life construction. The crew not only built a complete side board, but also dug a waterway and injected water under it, and cooperated with sea drama filming to truly restore a "sinking" prisoner of war ship. The scale of the production made many international collaborators admit frankly: "I haven't seen such a large-scale production abroad for a long time."
Being on a giant ship, the actor's body and emotions are strongly affected. Zhu Yilong shared: "At that time, the prisoner of war ship was already broken and tilted, so it was very difficult to complete some movements on it." Wu Lei recalled the shooting at that time and also said: "I was really impacted by the scene. At that moment, all your emotions and performances were influenced and stimulated by the environment." From the longest water drama shooting in Chinese film history, to shipbuilding and village building, to world-class difficult marine special effects,"Arctic Island" uses its own method to pave a new path for the industrialization of China's films. The consistent large-scale industrial production has also injected a heavy sense of reality into this story. This "prison at sea" once sank into the deep sea of history, but now it has been salvaged bit by bit. It will only wait for the movie to be shocked on August 8 to witness with its own eyes the awakening and struggle of the Chinese people who are no longer slaughtered by others, and let the world see that they belong to the China. The courage and kindness of the people!
