The main creator reproduces the famous photo scene of the movie "Great Good Rivers and Mountains", and all of them use cameras as weapons to pierce lies and protect the truth

The movie "Nanjing Photo Studio" shows the history we are familiar with from a new perspective. People are unarmed, but they use cameras and photos as "weapons" to pierce the Japanese army's lies to cover up atrocities. At the Beijing premiere, the film's creator brought the magnifying machine, camera, and film developing equipment that represented the "weapon" in the film to the scene, and shared many of the film's stories before and behind the scenes. The director interpreted the details of loading the bullets and taking pictures with the camera at the beginning of the movie. The English words for shooting and taking pictures are the same, and the execution and recording of the atrocities implicitly echoed. The Olympic bid also emphasized: "On that battlefield, a photo is like a bullet." The photos of compatriots brutally slaughtered in the movie are heartbreaking. Liu Haoran said that because of the magnifying machine in the photo studio in the movie: "Those bloody criminal evidence retains the possibility of being disclosed to the world." Wang Chuanjun recalled on the spot that he burst into tears when he saw a group photo of "Great Rivers and Mountains" during the filming. He deeply regretted that Wang Guanghai's character had taken the wrong path: "I hope that such a person will never appear again in the future." Gao Ye used Yuxiu's camera to interpret another tear point in the film to the audience-the execution of Japanese war criminals, and Yuxiu used the camera to shoot the moment when the shutter was pressed. Gao Ye believes: "The image became a bullet to defend dignity at that moment and became Yuxiu's confession to the compatriots who had sacrificed their lives." The last camera used by the photo studio owner Lao Jin during his lifetime became a "weapon" to defend his dignity. Wang Xiao interpreted the plot of Lao Jin walking towards the Japanese army with a camera and explained: "Lao Jin, who has no regrets when facing a bayonet, will not be afraid. Only when facing an unarmed civilian holding a knife should be afraid." Young actor Yang En also shared her feelings about the "Great Rivers and Mountains" family portrait. She expressed to the director that she wanted to use a smile to show her character's pride and pride in the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The director respected her understanding of the role, so only Xiao Jin in the family portrait wore a smile full of innocence and hope. Wang Zhener said, holding a photo of the crime in the play,"Mrs. Jin woke up at that moment and began to care about the destiny of the country from her personal destiny." At the premiere, the background of the group photo at Jixiang Photo Studio was once again pulled down, and each scene connected into a beautiful mountain and river. All the creators also reproduced the family portrait of the "Great Rivers and Mountains" on the spot. Now the mountains and rivers are safe. Today, 88 years later, the camera is full of smiles and hope, which moved the audience.

Evan Kelzan's film "Shocking, Powerful, and Historical Proof", the mentor praised the Olympic bid director as "I am proud"

Evan Kyle, an international friend who donated a photo album recording the Japanese aggression against China to China, also came to the premiere. He described the film as "shocking, powerful, and historical proof." He felt: "The film preserves the truth of history." At the same time, the story of the film also reminded him of the experience of donating photo albums. Master Luo, a retired photographer at the time-honored Dabei Photo Studio, displayed a set of old photos bearing the mark of the times at the premiere. Through the film, Master Luo recalled every moment of the motherland recorded in the lens. At the premiere, a three-generation audience engaged in photography deeply resonated with Lao Jin. He brought the same camera as Lao Jin in the film to the premiere and took a new family portrait of the main creator. He said,"Photos are not only records, but also carriers of history."

The film premiere also invited a group of creators and industry friends to watch the film together. As the chief producer of this film, Fu Ruoqing, chairman of China Film Group, sincerely said that every time he sees the vivid characters and deeds in the film, his heart is still full of emotion. At the premiere, Zhou Xinxia, a professor at the Beijing Film Academy, the teacher of the Olympic bid director, praised the film as "both serious and unique character." From "Put One's Will" to "Nanjing Photo Studio", he once again saw the growth of the Olympic bid director, which made Teacher Zhou feel gratified. The screenwriters Xu Luyang and Zhang Ke shared with the audience every detail of the script creation stage. Xu Luyang has been working with the Olympic bid director for ten years. During the creative process this time, Xu Luyang always "commemorated and paid tribute to that period of history from the bottom of his heart." Zhang Ke shared the details and ingenuity in the film with the audience, and worked with Nanjing-based actors Wang Xiao and Zhou You to design the nursery rhyme sung in the countdown in the play in order to enter Nanjing life more realistically. The behind-the-scenes creator uses the seamless creative ecology to present these details in the film, and finely polish the film to present a warmer humanity in the cruel history.

Audiences sent long rolls of "Great Rivers and Mountains" film to 1937 all-age audiences to relay "Inheriting the Blood and Keeping History in Mind"

Many viewers at the premiere were moved by the film and shed tears. They frequently lamented that "restrained shots, uncontrollable tears.""The simple emotions of the little people are the most touching. The film shows the unique kindness and courage of China people." A second-time viewer of this movie was deeply touched by the vivid lives that were fixed in history."It was their sacrifice and perseverance that brought the beautiful mountains and rivers under our feet today." A young audience who loved to travel made a long film roll of the magnificent mountains and rivers she had recorded and gave it to the creator. This was not only a tribute to the film, but also a postcard sent to 1937. She said emotionally,"I wish those ancestors could see the prosperous China that they exchanged their lives for in parallel time and space."

Reality has its own power. Many viewers connect reality through images and feel the weight of history, saying that "movies lead us to face the truth of history, which everyone should see." We have no right to forgive, let alone forget." The movie "Nanjing Photo Studio" makes the words in textbooks more vivid and realistic, allowing children to understand the courage and fearlessness of their ancestors, and to understand the beauty and preciousness of peaceful times. For example, the audience commented: "History has gone far, but every time we see and tell it is a relay." "This kind of look back and remember is more meaningful than any scene." Movies use images to convey records to point to four words-don't forget.

The movie "Nanjing Photo Studio" was officially released today.
