Today, directed by Liu Weiqiang and co-produced by Liu Weiqiang and co-produced by Liu Weiqiang and Li Jinwen, the anti-epidemic movie "Chinese Doctor" released a final poster and a finalization trailer, officially announcing that it will be released nationwide on July 9. On the poster, Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan, who led the team to turn the tide in the movie "Captain China", regrouped this time, leading the crowd to transform into Chinese medical workers dressed in white on the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, giving up their lives and forgetting their deaths; in the trailer, in addition to Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan, the characters played by Zhu Yawen, Li Chen, Yi Qianxi, Ou Hao and other actors also took turns to pay tribute to the benevolence of the doctors.
It is reported that the movie "Chinese Doctor" is based on the real events of the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control struggle, with Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital as the core story background, while taking into account Wuhan Tongji Hospital, Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, Wuhan Union Hospital, Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital), Huoshenshan Hospital, cabin hospitals and other fraternal units, with Wuhan medical personnel and medical teams from various provinces and cities across the country as the character prototype, panoramic record of the magnificent and arduous anti-epidemic struggle.
Take a small view of the big waves and magnificent anti-epidemic picture
During the epidemic period, in order to control the spread of the virus, Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital transformed its office into an ICU, collected all the new crown patients, and undertook the treatment of a large number of severe and critically ill patients. The entire hospital resisted the pressure and overloaded operation, which bought time for the arrival of the medical team to aid Hubei, which fully reflected the responsibility of doctors and China. Yu Dong, chief producer of the movie "Chinese Doctor" and chairman of Bona Film Group, revealed that the earliest idea of shooting the movie "Chinese Doctor" began with a photo of Zhong Nanshan riding a train to the frontline of the fight against the epidemic in Wuhan. "The scene of medical teams from all over the country and Wuhan doctors fighting in the frontline makes us particularly impulsive. After consulting with director Liu Weiqiang during the Spring Festival, I took the initiative to ask the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the National Film Administration to create this theme. To this end, Bona Film Group reconvened the original team of the movie "Captain China", and led the creative team to enter Wuhan to visit the hospital to collect information for the first time after Wuhan lifted the control measures for the passage from Han to Hubei in April 2020. When visiting Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, everyone was touched by the stories that happened here, and finally decided to focus on the "eye of the epidemic storm" of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, creating with a small view and a large picture, and slowly unfolding a magnificent anti-epidemic picture.
In the trailer, the medical staff played by Zhang Hanyu, Yuan Quan, Zhu Yawen, Li Chen, Yi Yanqianxi, etc. are faced with successive challenges, racing against time to "snatch people" from the hands of the disease; first aid scenes such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and tracheal intubation make the viewers can't help but feel that "white clothes are armored, retrograde marching, helping the crisis and crossing the road, charging ahead, is the mission and responsibility of the doctor". On the fixed poster that was exposed at the same time, a group portrait of the anti-epidemic group jumped out of sight: medical staff in protective clothing, ordinary people with perseverance... All of them portray the emergency atmosphere and the world during the epidemic.
Zhang Hanyu's "Convergent Performance" Interprets "People's Hero"
In the film, President Zhang Jingyu, played by Zhang Hanyu, unites the cadres and staff of the hospital and brings confidence and hope to the patients together with the medical staff of The Aid. This role is based on Zhang Dingyu, the winner of the national honorary title of "People's Hero", deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Health Commission, and former president of Jinyintan Hospital. In the head-on fight against the new crown virus, Zhang Dingyu, as the head of the first hospital, dragged the sick body suffering from "frostbite", silently endured the huge blow of his wife who was also infected with new crown pneumonia, insisted on fighting in the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and finally led the cadres and staff of the hospital to treat more than 2,800 patients, making significant contributions to winning the defense war in Hubei and Wuhan.
Zhang Hanyu said that Zhang Dingyu, as a grassroots dean and an ordinary party member, showed a shocking courage and responsibility. In order to play this role well, he went to Wuhan to spend a few days with Zhang Dingyu before the film began, "During that time, I checked with him every day to experience the doctor's work, and I was deeply impressed by his love-hate personality, and I also integrated my observations of him into my performance." If you want to play this role well, it is not enough to make me look like him, I have to use my own state, demeanor, language, style of work and other subtle details to make the audience feel like it. To this end, Zhang Hanyu did his homework, in addition to playing the role in Hubei dialect throughout the whole process, considering Zhang Dingyu's physical condition with frostbite, Zhang Hanyu also paid special attention to the details of his body posture when performing. Yu Dong summed up Zhang Hanyu's performance style as "convergent performance": "He did not overemphasize and amplify, but hid the performance himself, and in front of people, it was also consistent with the state of President Zhang Dingyu himself at that time, so that the image of the entire dean was shaped." ”
Yuan Quan contributed "disfigured performance"
It is reported that Yuan Quan played Wen Ting, director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, in order to truly restore the state of medical staff under the anti-epidemic work, she contributed a "disfigurement performance": her cheeks were dented by the mask, because she wore protective clothing, goggles and masks for a long time, her skin was soaked with sweat and white, and every time she appeared, she was tired, and only the eyes were still full of the firmness and bravery of the doctors.
In order to shoot a major scene, Yuan Quan once wore a protective suit for 8 hours in a row, but she said afterwards that she did not actually calculate the time in particular, and just wanted to do her best to get closer to the truth, "Once you put on that dress and enter that state, you will not pay special attention to the time." Yuan Quan said that in order to play this role well, in addition to constantly practicing technical operations such as wearing protective clothing and learning medical knowledge, it is also necessary to often ask medical workers who have experienced the frontline of the fight against the epidemic for psychological experience, "More important than learning technical operations is to find the psychological support of the role." She also modestly said: "After filming the scene of "Chinese Doctor", I definitely dare not say that I have mastered anything. I'm just trying to learn and try to get as close to them as possible. It's not so easy to become a qualified healthcare worker, they're really great, salute them! ”
