Was "Changjin Lake" really shot in the snow?

"Changjin Lake" was actually shot in the snow.

"Watergate Bridge" has many snowy scenes, which take up almost half of the entire film in terms of duration, and left a deep impression on the audience.

In order to more realistically reflect the harsh weather on the battlefield, the crew shot in the Northeast in winter, with a temperature of about minus 30°. Needless to say, this was actually a "challenge to the limit."

It is said that director Lin Chaoxian, who is most afraid of the cold, was exhausted. The filming of "Changjin Lake" and "Water Gate Bridge" was the first time he experienced extremely cold weather while filming.

The actors who starred in "Watergate Bridge" must have felt the coldest on the set and the difficult shooting environment.

The snow scenes of the two films were filmed in Huairou, Beijing, and the filming period was also long.

The two films went through more than 4 months of snowy shooting. The director and actors worked hard day and night in the extremely cold weather. This is a spirit that is not afraid of hardships and obstacles.

Because "Changjin Lake" and "Water Gate Bridge" have many real-life shooting shots and meticulous post-production, the finished films have a good look and feel, and the audience has greatly appreciated them. This is also the box office success. One of the important reasons for the continued rise.
