Was Love in Antarctica filmed in Antarctica?

"Antarctic Love" will be released on February 2nd, and it is the only feature film filmed in the Antarctic.

How to shoot in Antarctica is difficult for any director, especially a cutting-edge film director like Youyin Wu. He described filming as a marathon. In front of such an industrial film, you can't be loyal.

On the way from ushuaia to the South Pole, the crew almost staged the Titanic-when crossing the "devil's westerly belt", the sea conditions were much worse than expected, and the crew almost got lost in the ice floes.

After 26 hours later than the original time, the crew of "Antarctic Love" finally landed successfully. After safely transporting 2.5 tons of shooting equipment and 8 tons of life support materials ashore, they immediately entered a state of intense work-they will start shooting in Antarctica for 28 days.

The ever-changing terrain and steep ice peaks in Antarctica make it difficult for cars to drive most of the time, so they can only climb the hillside on foot. The wind was raging, and everyone in the crew was struggling with dozens of pounds of equipment. Knee-high snow often makes people feel weak or trapped in a snow pit.

As one of the main characters in this film, Mark Chao became the first China actor to make a film in Antarctica. However, the Antarctic did not "lenient" him, and he still encountered many difficulties in the process of shooting. Without eye protection equipment, Mark Chao inevitably suffered from snow blindness. But for the sake of progress, Mark Chao only took a day off to continue filming.

Although the magnificent glaciers in Antarctica are unobstructed, "it's the same everywhere", and the members of the Great Wall Station also said, "There are no coordinates here. It's all about feeling. If you drive out, it's the road. If you don't drive there, it's a wilderness. " In order to assist the shooting success, the Great Wall Scientific Research Station not only sent 6 million off-road vehicles for the crew to transport, but also distributed two snowmobiles to transport photographic equipment. The Chilean naval station also made a friendly contribution to the snow sweeper.

In order to protect the ecological environment in the Antarctic region, the crew paid special attention to every detail. Take convenience as an example. All members, including director Youyin Wu and starring Mark Chao, brought their own urine bags. Although there are many inconveniences, Mark Chao still ridiculed: "Put it in clothes after use, it has a warm effect!"
