1949 what was the first feature film in new China?

The first feature film is 1949. This film tells the story of workers in a railway factory in Northeast China overcoming a series of difficulties to complete the task of repairing the Songhua River railway bridge.

Bridge is the first feature film produced by Northeast Film Studio. It is also the cornerstone of the new China film. It occupies an unusual position in the film history of China and has epoch-making significance.

The Bridge is directed by Wang Bin, starring Wang Jiayi, Ban Lü, Jiang Hao and Chen Qiang. Published on 1949.

Liang Risheng and the old monkey head in the play are selfless and creative, with the characteristics of the working class in the new era. The film pursues the artistic style of seeing truth among the people and seeing goodness in simplicity. Sketch is often used to depict characters and express life.

In an interview with Min, I described the writing experience of Bridge. In order to create this drama, Yu Min went to Harbin Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory to experience life in the winter of 1947, stayed in the factory for two months, wrote for one month, and handed in the script three months later.

The script passed quickly. After the filming of Bridge, the response was very strong. The first film was about workers. No matter how you write it, it's all new, so it played a great role at that time and there were applause. Shanghai workers marched to celebrate after watching the movie.

This film has gained a healthy, powerful, simple and clear style in picture composition, story development and character expression, and has become a new bridge for China film industry.

At that time, the film was inspired by Harbin Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory, and the actors experienced the life of Harbin 36 shed railway factory before shooting. The director asked the actors to blend in with the workers. The tradition of experiencing life in this way and then creating is almost an unbreakable law that runs through the era of state-owned studios.

The shooting conditions at that time were unimaginable, and the indomitable spirit of the filmmakers was highly consistent with the theme expressed in the film. At that time, the photographers and artists of the crew were novices and the equipment was very backward. Even the lighting and lighting used a big tungsten lamp.

In order to show the hot scene of "molten steel splashing everywhere", the photographer and several staff members were really sparking and had to cover the whole scene with wet cotton-padded clothes non-stop. When the film ended, the director Wang Bin was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
