The credits for August 1st.

In order to enhance the realism of the scene, the crew traveled to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hebei, Beijing and other film and television bases for two months to shoot the war scenes. There were nearly 1 locations, 45 tons of TNT explosives were used, 12, costume props were used, and 11, actors were put into filming. Among them, only the night scene of the uprising was filmed for 14 days. During the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains in the film, when filming in Tianmo, Hebei Province, thousands of troops and nearly 1 horses were mobilized. The investment cost is 5 million yuan.

The symbol "Red Tie" of Nanchang Uprising is actually a short red cloth strip tied with a knot on the collar of the rebel army. In order to highlight the strong visual effect of red, the crew processed it through art on the basis of respecting history. In order to increase the realism of the film, the director shot the ending scene of Nanchang Uprising with a shooting technique close to the documentary. In order to be faithful to the historical facts and truly reflect the time when the story happened, the director used colors in a depressed and dignified way. Before the uprising, he took cold colors as the main body, and in the final uprising, he used strong warm colors to publicize and highlight the red color of blood and fire. There are many important scenes in this film, such as the battlefield in the Central Plains, the fog at the riverbank pier, the headquarters of Jiangxi Grand Hotel, and the gate of Nanchang City, etc. The contrast of photographic light is great, emphasizing the striking light and dark levels, highlighting the tragic dignity of the battlefield.

The film mobilized the artistic means of film, comprehensively applied the achievements of modern science and technology, and combined the traditional stunt synthesis shooting with digital computer synthesis, thus enhancing the expressive force and visual impact of screen modeling.

In terms of high-tech photography skills, photographers tried their best to use digital intermediate films that were rarely made in mainland China at that time, and multi-camera shooting was relatively rare. The shooting equipment of this drama is divided into two parts: a machine for literary drama and a machine for martial arts.
