Why don't climbers go to Mount Everest to shoot?

The Climber mainly tells the story of China's first mountaineering team climbing Mount Everest. The film was shot in Tianjin, China and Gangshika Snow Mountain.

The film was shot on the snowy mountains in Tianjin and Gangshika. The shot of Tianjin is naturally the shot before climbing the snow-capped mountains, and the shots on the snow-capped mountains behind are all taken on the Gangshika snow-capped mountains in Qinghai. Although Gangshika Snow Mountain is not Mount Everest, it is relatively safe, but its altitude is also very high. With the elevation, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the air is getting thinner and thinner. It is very difficult to shoot in such an environment, but every actor involved in this film works very hard and is very dedicated. They still don't flinch in this environment. But to finish the film with my best state and acting skills.

It is understood that Gangshika Xuefeng in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County of Qinghai Province is 5254.5 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the east of Qilian Mountain. The mountain peak is covered with snow all year round, and it is like a jade dragon, and it is also the first of all the mountains. Gangshika Xuefeng covers an area of about 450 square kilometers, also known as Lenglongling. It is one of the main peaks of Qilian Mountain, with an altitude of 4000-5000 meters. The peak is northwest-southeast, extending more than 280 kilometers in Qinghai and 30-50 kilometers wide.

In midsummer, the Gangshika Snow Peak is chilly in spring, and there are many modern glaciers above 4500 meters above sea level, with a total area of 8 1 square kilometer. Whenever the sun sets and the sunset clouds are all over the sky, the top of the mountain is crystal clear, but below the snow line is a vast grassland and a sea of rape flowers. The difference in altitude, complex landforms, and the magical combination of glaciers with hot springs, lakes and long rivers constitute its profound and rich charm and elegant temperament.

The reason why we don't choose to shoot on Mount Everest is because it is difficult for people to survive and stand on Mount Everest. It's unrealistic to let the actors play and the staff set up cameras to shoot.

So at that time, the creative staff of Shanghai Film Studio filmed climbers in an abandoned mine on the outskirts of Tianjin.

A simple understanding of green screen is a special effect, and it is a method widely used in shooting now. Shooting with a green screen can make actors appear where they want to appear, such as the sea, ships, the South Pole and the North Pole, so this "Climber" uses a lot of special effects shots.

Because it is necessary to shoot with a green screen, before shooting, Jason Wu, the leading actor, found the director and said that it was difficult to play the feeling of climbing a mountain in front of the green screen, and it was necessary to climb a mountain once to play a good role.

So this year 1 month, Jason Wu found a professional mountaineering team to climb the mountain in Gangshika Xuefeng, Qinghai, to experience the feeling of climbers. That is, in this mountaineering, Jason Wu's leg injury recurred. However, due to the tight time and heavy task of filming climbers, Jason Wu finished filming at the same time. Sometimes in order to endure leg pain, I have to have an injection and shoot with a splint.

Because we have to shoot with a green screen, producer Tsui Hark said frankly that in fact, many natural bad weather and difficulties encountered by the mountaineering team could not be filmed, so many shots were used when the actors faced avalanches and strong winds.

However, although the film was shot in the suburbs of Tianjin, it used real scenes and green screens, but it was a successful attempt for China films which lacked mountaineering themes. Judging from the box office and word of mouth, the climber's film is a success.
