Was that movie made in Shenyang?

There is a documentary called Tiexi District.

Director: Bing Wang

It consists of three independent films: Factory, Yanfen Street and Railway.

Factory 240 minutes

Smelting, steel rolling, cable, and the three factories built by 1934 are the protagonists of the film. At the peak, there were only twenty or thirty people left in each workshop of the smelter with more than ten thousand employees, and the huge workshop was empty and aging. At the end of the film, the smelter closed and the workers went to the sanatorium 30 kilometers away for the final rest; Because the cable factory can't pay the heating fee, it is forced to let the left-behind people take a long vacation, and the freezing of the factory office is more than half a meter thick; The rolling mill is being demolished.

Yanfen Street 2 10 minutes

"Smoking hurts the lungs, drinking hurts the stomach, the sauna is too expensive, you spend too much money in karaoke bars, playing mahjong and gambling, you disturb the society, and it is economical to buy some lottery tickets ..." The eloquence of the unknown lottery propagandist is no less than that of Zhao Benshan, but the sadness after quitting makes the previous excitement even more absurd. Yanfen Street is a shanty town where workers live. A group of 17-and 18-year-old boys often get together to chase girls or tease each other. At the end of 2000, the houses in Yanfen Street shantytown were demolished and rebuilt, and people competed with developers for suitable new house area. In the end, people braved the heavy snow and stepped on the mud, carrying their own door panels and crossing the dilapidated Yanfen Street, leaving their homes in disappointment.

90-minute railway

Railways provide transportation tasks for the production of various factories, and the staff on the train wander between factories all day. There are some people around the railway freight yard who have no household registration and fixed residence and make a living by picking up goods on the train. Du, a middle-aged man, and his eldest son Du Yang have served in this train crew for 20 years, and they are also one of the insiders of the railway police police station in the crowd around the freight yard.

Wang Bing, the head of Tiexi District, graduated from Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. This film is his directorial debut, with an investment of 600,000 RMB, taking 18 months to shoot and 300 hours of material. Bing Wang, who filmed the whole film by himself with a small DV camera, went to work with the workers in Tiexi District at 8 o'clock every morning and didn't go home until after 0/2 o'clock in the evening, shooting many teams and groups. After a long time, he became one with the workers, and filming was very free and smooth.
