Suzhou 800 shooting bases

The film "Eight Hundred" directed by Guan Hu was officially launched in a shooting base in Suzhou on September 9th. This time, Guan Hu sharpened his sword for ten years and put this spectacular history of defending the four-row warehouse on the big screen. He admitted that apart from the war scenes, he paid more attention to the depiction of characters in the war to show the bloodiness of China people.

After nearly two and a half years of preparation, the crew not only built a 200-acre building with real bricks and tiles, but also specially trained special actors for one year to become tough fighters. More importantly, Eight Hundred will be the first Chinese work shot with a digital IMAX camera.

At the boot site, Guan Hu said, "It is fate that everyone gets together to work. Please remember today's words when everyone is tired. What we have done is meaningful. "

As early as ten years ago, director Guan Hu wanted to put the history of eight hundred heroes on the big screen. He said: "I liked modern history very much when I was very young. The battle of 1937 is even more special, which can be said to be an unprecedented spectacle.

"Now the official boot, director Guan Hu is also very emotional. He said that this is not only a movie, but also a look back at history. " With the camera, everyone was immersed in that history. "In addition, director Guan Hu admits that in addition to the war scenes, the film" Eight Hundred Miles "will pay attention to personal experiences in the war." War is not the most important thing, but the individual experience of people in war is the most important thing, and I pay more attention to people. "

This time, 800 will shoot the whole film with digital IMAX camera, which is the first film in China. According to Cao Yu, director of photography, "IMAX has been looking for a film using their latest digital cameras, and finally reached a cooperation in 800 miles, when the war effect will be more delicate, clear and realistic."

In addition to showing the war scenes, Guan Hu said that the people on the battlefield were the focus he wanted to focus on. "Through the story of' eight hundred heroes', I hope the audience can see the car-scrapping and bloodiness in the bones of China people." .

This time, 800 people specially invited domestic gold medal filmmakers and Hollywood top teams to form a behind-the-scenes team, including producer Zhu Wenjiu, photography director Cao Yu, production designer Mu Lin, recording director Fukang, war scene director Glenn Bao Si Will, visual effects director Tim Crosbie and military instructor Cang Lei. In order to pursue the film's sense of the times, the crew spent a year building a 200-acre real-life building, recreating the Shanghai style in the 1930s.

As for the actors, director Guan Hu also rejected the "routine". He not only recruited thousands of actors from all over the country, but also selected hundreds of special actors for one-year professional military training to get close to the state of soldiers. According to Guan Hu, the leading actors to be announced in the future are all really good actors, and they have also received systematic training in advance, "including language, physique and militarization training, and they have also devoted themselves to reading the script carefully so that everyone can sit together and discuss it". Next, the crew will devote themselves to intensive shooting.
