Why are there three directors in the battle of Changjin Lake?

Because it is difficult to shoot, and Chen Kaige works well with directors Huang Jianxin and Lin Chaoxian.

The producer repeatedly stressed in Winter that "this theme is too grand and needs the strongest production team." Huang Jianxin, the chief producer, publicly stated more than once that the shooting of the battle of Changjin Lake was the biggest challenge to the industrialization of the whole film.

Different from the usual director cooperation, in this film, the three directors are not independent chapters, but work together to create the same story, give full play to their respective creative advantages, and show the "Changjin Lake Campaign" in all directions.

The film was originally scheduled to start in February 2020, but it was interrupted by an epidemic, and Liu Weiqiang, one of the original directors, was transferred to Dr. China, so it was jointly directed by Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian.

There is almost no interior in the battle of Changjin Lake, and it is all exterior. Many people who can shoot on the set also choose location shooting. The actors work hard, and it's MINUS 20 degrees in the coldest time.
