Six-year long March, making a China science fiction movie.
Director Huatao Teng: Three years to polish the conceptual design.
Shanghai Fortress, a novel written by Jiangnan, has accumulated countless readers’ youthful memories in ten years. When domestic sci-fi movies have not entered the audience’s field of vision, it is doomed to be a huge project and full of unknown difficulties to choose to put this story of future war and delicate emotions on the movie screen from the beginning of the project. It takes six years to make a sci-fi movie. In the view of director Huatao Teng, the setting of world outlook and the conceptual design of prop scenes are the most important links.
Why do alien motherships look like this, what is their attack mode, and what is our defense mode … … With these problems, Teng Dao kept meeting with the team in the preparatory stage and polished and revised it repeatedly. Because there is no domestic film experience to learn from, Teng Dao said frankly: "It took more than three years to get a basic introduction to the concept lesson." By the time of official shooting, each actor not only knew the world described by the director, but also got a manual, which recorded the description of each scene and the usage of each prop.
The "Shanghai battlefield" big scene was praised.
Audience: "The first feeling is shock."
"Shocking", "being there" and "burning" … … At the advanced premiere of the film "Shanghai Fortress", these carefully crafted sci-fi scenes were also well received and recognized by the audience. The huge alien carrier landed on the earth, and the Shanghai cannon jumped out of the Huangpu River and fired, exchanging the whole city of Shanghai "Lu Chen" for hope. All kinds of big scenes that happened in China for the first time were eye-catching. Some viewers concluded that the first feeling after watching the movie was shock.
For this new exploration of China’s sci-fi, some viewers commented: "The sci-fi war film with Shanghai, China as the main battlefield has restored the big scenes in the original, the special effects are very realistic, and the film production showing Shanghai Lu Shen is even more excellent." Some viewers also said: "The degree of completion is quite good. From the visual effect, the dome-like bubble defense and every fierce battle between human beings and alien civilizations are highlights."
The film "Shanghai Fortress" will be released on August 9th.
