Walking out of the Lujiazui Station of Line 2, oncoming people are facing the scorching sun and taking photos with the excitement of Shanghai Center not far behind them. This 632-meter tall tallest building in China has become one of the protagonists to promote the narrative in the youth theme movie “The Great City Building”. The premiere of the movie “The Big City Building” and the “2021 My Movie Party Class” special event were held yesterday at the Pinnacle Art Space (damper layer) on the 126th floor of the Shanghai Tower. What determines the height of Shanghai? Why do humans always like to climb the peak? The answer is buried in this “love poem” written to Shanghai by the Shanghai Film Creative Team.
Integrate the connotation of party building and audiovisual content
“This movie tells us, first, how strong is the power of youth; second, how to make good use of the power of youth?” In Pinnacle Art Space, Zhu Yenan, a teacher at the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, resonated with the damper behind it. This is the first time that the “My Movie Party Lessons” series of activities came out of the theater and came to the filming location since it was held in 2017.
In “The Big City Building”, the scene of Zhang Gong’s speech played by Tong Ruixin was shot here. This 1,000-ton eddy current damper is an important “role” of the film. Screenwriter He Qing still remembers the first time she visited the Shanghai Center in April last year. When she saw the damper, she felt the shock and excitement that could not be expressed in words. She was deeply moved by the surging feelings and warm currents of the grassroots party building center here. As she wrote in the film lines, “Shanghai Center has 20,357 pieces of glass, each of which is different in shape. Everyone has a chance to shine in life. , Let everyone really feel the temperature.”
“Dacheng Building” is based on the new party building in the Lujiazui area of Pudong, Shanghai. It tells a series of touching stories surrounding the rescue of children with Peng Peng. The dreams of man and the city grow together and become a breakthrough in film creation. Director Xie Mingxiao, who has tracked full-arm combat for many years, proposed to integrate full-arm combat, e-sports and other elements into the film, which has become the film’s visual presentation of “positive youth”.
Producer Zhang Jianya said that shooting upstairs in the tallest building in China is a kind of happiness. The filming process of “Big City Building” is also the process of Shanghai filmmakers’ dreams. The Shanghai Film Group assembled three generations of outstanding creative talents of the old, middle and youth to form the creation team of the movie “Dacheng Building”. From the 80-year-old performance artist Niu Ben, to the planning, post-production, and publicity of the post-90s generation, from the producer, director, and screenwriter, to recording, art, and props, the backbone of Shanghai Film’s creation is gathered in this film’s main cast. , The master, and the master of the movie.
“The Decisive Battle on the Top of Shanghai” is very thrilling
“I was surprised when I first saw it as a film. If I didn’t know all the scenes of Shanghai Center, I almost thought it was another movie.” In the movie “Great City Building”, there are a lot of names of Shanghai Center staff members. I followed the filming of the whole shooting part of the Shanghai Center, and even appeared on the scene, but I still admire the unique charm of the film after seeing the finished film.
“Just like cooking, all the materials are placed there, and the final result is such a pot of dishes, which is far beyond our expectations.” The staff of the Shanghai Center introduced. The heroine’s uniforms, badges, staff tags, etc. in the film are all replicated to scale; the vertical marathons in the film are all real events held in the Shanghai Center; the firefighting part of the scene was taken by the Shanghai Center firefighters. All the equipment used at that time is also real.
A scene in the film was shot in the office of Shanghai Tower Construction Development Co., Ltd. Many employees participated. Although it was a “background board” without lines, they felt excited to participate in the film for the first time. “I can imagine that everyone will smile in the theater when they watch it.”
This is not the first time that Shanghai Center has taken a film project, but in the past, commercial films used at most one or two scenes. “The Big City Building” almost shot the entire building, even involving some scenes that are not normally open. There are nearly 100 people in Group A of “Big City Building”, and a two-ton camera enters and exits the building. To ensure the operation of the building and complete the filming of the film, everyone has spent a lot of thought.
The hardest part is the real shot of the tower crown. The space has never been opened to the public. After taking the elevator to the 126th floor, you still need to climb three layers of narrow cage ladders to “climb to the top”. The Shanghai Center and the crew made various plans, and finally shot them with drones. The thrilling part of the tower crown fight was shot in the studio, for which the crew restored a third of the tower crown scene.
Many characters in the movie have prototypes in reality. For example, Zhang Gong’s prototype is Gu Jianping, general manager of Shanghai Tower Construction Development Co., Ltd., who made a cameo appearance in the movie. The heroine Liu An’an is the epitome of the Shanghai Center’s security system, and she has many shadows of Shanghai Center security personnel.
The movie “Big City Building” will be screened in major theaters across the country from July 23. It is produced by Shanghai Film (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai City Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. At the premiere, the two companies also jointly launched a joint package of movie party classes and Shanghai Center. It is reported that the crew of the movie “The Big City Building” will also hold a series of activities “A Tribute to City Builders”, bringing the film to the Shanghai city construction site for an open-air screening event.
