Nobody knows. Where was this blockbuster filmed? I mean the palace.

In addition to the luxurious star lineup, top behind-the-scenes production team and confusing plot, another attraction of The Promise lies in its vast location. It is understood that the location of "Wuji" mainly includes Hengdian in Zhejiang, Yuanmou in Yunnan and Shangri-La, and the main colors of the three scenic spots are different. Among them, Hengdian built a magic palace, which is the main location of the movie story, and the main color is red; The main attractions of Yuanmou are unique soil forest and rubber forest, and the main color is yellow; Shangri-La's scenic spots are mainly concentrated around Bigu Tianchi, and the main color is white.

Yuanmou: a magnificent and magical soil forest

Yuanmou is the hometown of Yuanmou, the distant ancestor of China, and has a strong mysterious ancient country in southwest China. "The Promise" tells a love story in the Middle Ages 3,000 years ago, and its artistic conception is mysterious, so it is more appropriate to arrange location shooting here.

Yuanmou soil forest is a unique natural landscape in this county, which is formed by soil erosion. Its principle is similar to Yunnan Shilin, which has never been seen in other parts of China, and has hardly appeared in other film and television works before. According to the reporter, around New Year's Day, Chen Kaige came to Yuanmou for field investigation. He went to the Hutiaotan soil forest in Wumao Township and another soil forest in Xinhua Township to investigate. These two soil forests are huge in scale and unique in shape, and will be the main shooting places in the film; He also finalized another rubber forest as one of the shooting locations. According to the person in charge of the county, after Chen Kaige arrived in Yuanmou, he was full of praise for these two soil forests, and even called them "magical nature" and "fantastic craftsmanship". By then, there will be many scenes shot in Chen Hong, Nicholas Tse and Zhang Dongjian.

Hengdian: a depressed magic palace

At that time, Chen Kaige built a magnificent Qin king Palace in Hengdian to shoot Jing Ke and stab the king of Qin. This time, in order to shoot "The Promise", Chen Kaige made a drastic transformation of Qin king Palace. On the site outside the original palace, three city gates were rebuilt, forming a small city in the city with an area of about 500 square meters. According to relevant media reports, although the area of this magical palace is small, the contrast is particularly strong because of the high walls and small doors. In addition, the colors of the palace are mainly red, white and gold, supplemented by the decorative patterns of ancient China, and the style is very cartoon, which makes people feel depressed in the palace. This seems to indicate the love tragedy of Princess Allure played by Cecilia Cheung. As can be seen from the pictures taken before, the designer erected four long square columns on the left and right sides of the city, the waist of which was decorated with antique patterns, and the four corners of the pavilion above the city gate were decorated with the shape of a god bird. It is said that these shapes were transplanted here by designers after consulting and referring to the information recorded in ancient books.

Shangri-la: a sacred place of nothingness

Shangri-La is the top priority in the filming of The Promise. 30-40% of the whole drama will be filmed here, and Chen Hong, Zhang Dongjian, Liu Ye, Wang, Wang, Wang and others all have scenes. Chen Kaige was also quite satisfied when he came here to choose the scenery in the early stage, indicating that these scenic spots fully meet the requirements of the plot. Because most of the scenes in Shangri-La are elegant action scenes, which are the essence of the whole movie, the crew specially prepared enough big brothers for the actors, body double. It is reported that only Liu Ye and Nicholas Tse have triple doubles, some are in charge of literature and drama, some are in charge of running, and some are in charge of fighting.

It is understood that Wuji has four scenic spots in Shangri-La: Qianhu Mountain, Bigu Tianchi, Songzanlin Temple and Shuodu Lake, all located in Diqing, 0/80 km away from the famous Meilin Snow Mountain/KLOC. Among them, Qianhu Mountain is a high mountain lake connected together, with snow-capped mountains looming in the distance and endless virgin forests and meadows nearby; Songzanlin Temple is one of the largest Lama temples in eastern Tibet. In order to respect the national feelings, the crew will not shoot inside the temple, but only shoot the location for post-production; In addition to these exterior scenes, the crew will also spend a huge sum of money to build a building in Bigu Tianchi to shoot the interior. At present, the artist is not in place. Local people told reporters that at the end of May and the beginning of June, the crew will switch after Yuanmou's shooting, and it is expected to shoot in Shangri-La for about 1 month.
