The Beijing premiere of the movie "Arctic Island" won praise for "relieving hatred and burning numbness"

Beijing News On August 5, the movie "East Pole Island" held its premiere of "Every China Can Be a Hero" in Beijing. Directors Guan Hu and Fei Zhenxiang, producer and chief producer Liang Jing, and actors Zhu Yilong, Wu Lei, Ni Ni, Yang Haoyu, Chen Minghao, Ni Dahong, Li Jiuxiao and Wang Yiquan appeared at the post-screening interactive scene to exchange creative experiences face-to-face with the audience. The film is based on the real incident of China fishermen risking their lives to rescue British prisoners of war 83 years ago. The creators have expressed the hope that through this film, the world can see the bravery and kindness of ordinary China people in the war, so that the truth will no longer sink and the crimes cannot be erased. The actors were full of "feelings" and shared the memories and touches during the filming process. This is not only an extreme challenge of physical strength and will, but also an emotional resonance that goes deep into the bones and blood. The blood, kindness and responsibility in the bones of China people are a national instinct that needs no modification or words. After 83 years, it is still hot.

The atmosphere at the premiere was also very enthusiastic. Many viewers called the movie "vent their anger and hatred". Every high-spirited counter-killing on the big screen was "hit" in their hearts. The blood and courage of the Chinese people who did not care about life and death brought tears to countless people's eyes. Some viewers said excitedly: "The hatred, suffocation, and anger at the atrocities of the invaders have finally been released in this movie. It's really so relieved!" Some viewers also lamented: "This heroic story, which should not be sealed, has finally gained the most powerful echo today. Let more people know that the waves on the East Pole Island will always stir with the kindness and fearlessness of the China people. "East Pole Island" is worth remembering!" A small audience at the scene affirmed emotionally: "It is particularly meaningful to our peers. I want to say to my worried parents that "Arctic Island" gave me the courage to face the truth." Even some foreign viewers were moved to tears after watching the movie: "You can save people without weapons. As long as you have a fishing boat, you can protect peace. The Japanese are killing people, and the China are saving people. The stronger China is, the more peaceful the world will be."

Six-year preparation to use movies to restore the truth "Be wary of invaders and distort history"

"It's difficult to shoot, but it's more important to shoot" Overcome world-class difficulties, underwater real shots "pave the way for the industrialization of China's films"

The film "Arctic Island" took 6 years to prepare and 7 months to shoot. Whether it is the longest water drama shooting in the history of Chinese cinema, building giant ships and fishing villages, or underwater real shots and marine special effects that challenge world-class difficulties,"Arctic Island" has created an unprecedented Chinese production with "the size and technical standards of three films." When talking about the hardships of shooting, director Guan Hu only said: "The joy of shooting lies in the challenges." Behind the call "not worth mentioning" is actually an unprecedented hard-core shooting challenge. Director Guan Hu said frankly that water drama is the "most difficult thing" for any film team, but what really supports everyone is the feeling of "saving people" of China fishermen, their blood, responsibility and simplicity. The instincts of kindness still flow in the blood of China people to this day. Director Guan Hu shared on the spot: "Through this movie, we can tell the world that the China people did not rely on the help of others, but that the Chinese people played a big role in the anti-fascist war. When the invaders are tampering and fabricating history, it is even more terrifying. Movies can serve as a warning." The foundation of the film is precisely to tell the audience and the world the hidden and tampered historical truth, as well as the blood courage and righteousness of the Chinese people.

Director Fei Zhenxiang looked back at the entire six-year preparatory process and lamented that the presentation of "East Pole Island" was the result of "the right time, place and harmony". He shared: "During the preparation process, we actually invited many top foreign teams to discuss with them and learn about underwater shooting, but their answer was,'We haven't really completed the entire underwater shooting, so it's almost impossible to complete it'. It aroused my fighting spirit at that time. I felt that if you couldn't finish it well, we China would definitely do it." From building a real fishing village to real-life underwater shooting, from high-intensity underwater training of actors to the team's self-development of "wet shooting" technology, the completion of this film is inseparable from "good opportunities" and "repeatedly on the East Pole Island. Efforts to break through the limits of human resources." When the film finally met the audience, he sincerely said: "The real 'harmony between people' is for the audience to enter the theater and share this history with us."

As the producer and chief producer, Liang Jing accompanied and witnessed every persistence and breakthrough of the team throughout the process. She said with emotion: "Our team is researching and developing while filming. It can be said that it has blazed a new path for Chinese films and provided a reference method for subsequent teams shooting water dramas." Talking about the mental journey along the way, Liang Jing also said frankly: "During the filming process, we really became people in that land. China people have made a lot of contributions to world peace, especially when we are able to save others despite being oppressed. This story can reflect the reasons for China's current rise on the world stage. Our ancestors were like this. They had the feelings of a great country, righteousness and great love. This history should be seen not only by the China, but also by the Japanese, and also by the whole world!"

Fishermen's group portrait everyone has flesh and blood, Zhu Yilong incarnated as a "bloody god" and designed a throat-cutting action

Wu Lei interprets the mentality of revenge,"Our sea is managed by ourselves" Ni Ni tells that the unswerving spirit stems from the "bloody righteousness in her bones"

It is precisely because of the "no cost" at the production level that we can see this shocking and true hot-blooded rescue on the big screen. Zhu Yilong recalled on the spot: "The crew prepared the best for the actors, the best sheds and the best real scenes. The filming was very immersive from beginning to end." In the battle at the outpost, he played Ayu who killed the Japanese army alone. His sword was fatal and his body was covered with blood. The audience called him "Bloodbath God" on the spot. Talking about behind this determination, Zhu Yilong said: "Kindness is the foundation of China people's bones, but in the face of invaders, we will return blood for blood and tooth for tooth!" The group of movements of "stabbing three times and then transecting the aorta" was designed by Zhu Yilong. Even the Japanese actor was still scared of the "red-eyed" state, sighing that "it really feels like he's going to kill him."

Not only his brother, Ah Dang, but the blood of this awakening also burns in the heart of his brother, Ah Dang. From the first time when they learned that prisoners of war were in distress, they were "rescued" to the "revenge" when they saw the Japanese army execute Newman. Talking about the character's mental change, Wu Lei said: "After seeing the Japanese army's atrocities, that grief transformed into anger and hatred. This sea is the sea of China itself. What happens at our doorstep should be managed by our own people." From the time the brothers Ah Yi and Ah Dang took the lead in standing up, to the time when Ah Hua led all the fishermen to go to sea to rescue them, blood spread on the island, and a collective awakening broke out. Asked about Ah Hua's choice of "knowing that there might be no return, but still remained unswervingly," Ni Ni said frankly: "If it were any fisherman on the island at that time, he would be like Ah Hua. This was the awakening of self-awareness and breaking the shackles. I Not only For myself, I also sacrificed so many lives at sea. This is the blood and righteousness in the bones of China people."

At the filming scene of "East Pole Island", many actors also experienced unprecedented shocks. Yang Haoyu recalled that the scene in which Mr. Chen was burned made him "stand on end for the first time since filming." At that moment, history and reality seemed to overlap, and the audience was silent, with only the cries of children being heard. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the bright moon hanging high, but when the family was reunited, there was a parting of life and death. He lamented very much: "Every festive season, I miss my relatives more frequently, and that kind of ruthlessness and anger will reach its extreme at that moment." Recalling the scene, Chen Minghao, who played Mr. Chen, also shared: "Looking at the sunset in front of me, I felt that the light on my body reflected the most beautiful sea, and then they went to save people." The fire that Mr. Chen lit it has undoubtedly ignited the blood in everyone's hearts.

As the boss of the fishermen on the island, Wu Wanshou's scars stretching from head to back are also marks of his fight against the Japanese army and burning the ancestral temple. During the two-and-a-half-hour special effects makeup process every day, Ni Dahong also admitted that "I gradually returned to the past and became Boss Wu." In his view,"East Pole Island" is a mission accomplished by one generation in a generation: "Letting the world remember this history is an indispensable contribution in itself." Li Jiuxiao, who plays the role of a fisherman's daughter, recalled saying bluntly during the on-site shooting: "The original thought of the daughter was that I would be the boss if the boss left, but in that scene, the daughter was really convinced and Boss Wu would be the boss." Wang Yiquan, who played fisherman Akui, was deeply moved by the crew who artificially carved out a road on the completely "primitive" island before landing on the island for filming: "I will always remember the 137 steps of that road, at an angle of about 45 degrees, every day when we go down to the village, the director will remind us that our ancestors are watching. This is the most exciting shooting experience I have ever had in my career."

Fang Lizan's film complements the perspective of China, Leung Jiahui "cried all night" and cupped his fists to pay tribute to the creator

Tong Liya and Dong Xuan took her child to watch the movie."Movies are excellent history education." Yang En also "I hope this story can be included in textbooks."

Many industry guests appeared in surprise at the premiere of the movie "East Pole Island" and shared their experiences of watching the movie. Director Huang Jianxin bluntly said that "the film is atmospheric, calm, and full of visual tension." Not only did he carve many profound pictures in his mind, but he was also deeply shocked by the righteous feat of China fishermen in rescuing British prisoners of war. Director Feng Xiaogang was shocked and said that Director Guan Hu's works always revolve around the word "righteousness", and "East Pole Island" is no exception. He bluntly said that the incident of fishermen on the East Pole Island rescuing 384 British prisoners of war itself reflected the "righteousness" of the China people. Director Cao Baoping shared that only after watching the film can he understand the hardships of filming and the "difficult look" of director Guan Hu at that time. Talking about the wonderful underwater scenes in the film, he couldn't hide his excitement: "The shock and authenticity are outstanding, and it can become a milestone in China's film water drama!" Fang Li, director and producer of the documentary "Lisbon Maru Sinking", also came to the scene to watch the film. Over the past eight years, Fang Li traveled across China, Britain, Japan, the United States and Canada, looking for historical records from different perspectives and presenting the entire process of the Lisbon Maru shipwreck. "East Pole Island" touched him particularly,"I focused on the suffering British prisoners of war, but the creators actually unfolded the story of the China people so grandly! You used real people, real emotions, real sound effects, and real water to dry it out in real scenes!

Actor Leung Ka-fai was deeply moved by this rescue across national borders. He saluted the brave and kind fishermen with a fist salute, and also paid tribute to all the creators who brought this story to the big screen. He choked with emotion: "I am not a person with low tears, but this movie made me cry all night. This is our bloody nation." Actor Huang Zhizhong once collaborated with director Guan Hu on "Eight Hundred". He said that "Eight Hundred" is already a tough battle, but "Arctic Island" is even more difficult. A large number of water dramas will make special effects processing extremely challenging." Song Jia, who has won the "Magnolia" Award with director Fei Zhenxiang's "When Flowers Are Blooming", said bluntly,"The film demonstrates the height of China's film industry on the technical level, and shows the kindness and righteousness in the bones of China people in the theme expression!" She was also impressed by the sense of power and wild beauty of the actors in the film, and "angrily praised" Zhu Yilong, Wu Lei, and Ni Ni,"You are full of charm and tension!"

Actors Tong Liya and Dong Xuan both brought their children to the scene to watch the movie. They admitted that the film was an "excellent history education lesson" that could let the children know that today's victory was hard-won and become more courageous and kinder. Yang Enyou, a young actor who worked with Zhu Yilong on "Life's Events", called out to his subversive performance,"Third Brother, you make me feel unfamiliar!" She also emotionally shared: "I hope more people will enter the cinema and let the world see what China have done! I also hope that children can learn what courage means. I hope this story can be included in textbooks so that more brothers and sisters can understand history."

Audiences praised the movie for "shocking and touching". The teacher suggested that "East Pole Island" be listed as the "first lesson in school"

The descendants of the fishermen emotionally thanked the creator for "spreading the spirit of the East Pole to the world"

Many viewers were deeply touched after watching the movie. A history teacher said emotionally: "The significance of movies is that ordinary people can awaken, and China people are not afraid of trouble. For a nation to truly stand up, it needs both heroes and millions of ordinary people to realize that they are the backbone of the nation." He even appealed: "I hope that" East Pole Island "can become the first lesson in school, so that more students can understand this true history and understand the feats of the Chinese people." Evan Kyle, an American friend who donated photos of the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders, also said after watching the movie: "This is not only an unprecedented industrial giant, but also has far-reaching international significance. I hope more people see this movie today and understand that the world can be so united."

There were also descendants of fishermen who came to watch the movie at the scene. A descendant of a fisherman from Zhejiang is now a public welfare rescue instructor. He is very sympathetic to the fishermen's rule of "if there is any trouble at sea, you must save them" and continues this responsibility passed down by his ancestors. Responsibility and responsibility. The other is Chen Xuelian, a descendant of a fisherman who experienced the rescue operation. She said after the screening: "My father was one of the fishermen who went out to sea to save people. Now he has passed away. Thank you "East Pole Island" for spreading the spirit of our East Pole people to the world." The emotional speech resonated with the audience. Back then, our ancestors saved people, but now we inherit it. "East Pole Island" not only opens the mouth of history, but also allows the kindness and blood belonging to China to continue, making every China believe that we can all become heroes!
