Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Discussions and rumors about the "Three-Body" series are still spreading, and "North Africa Operation" has already started filming in Beijing.

As a Chinese main theme war blockbuster directed by Shanhe, the cast of "North Africa Operation" can be said to be the best in the country, bringing together the most appealing cast in China.

Liu Ye plays the captain of the "Jiaolong Special Forces" Yang Rui, Deng Chao plays the diplomat Zong Dawei, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Hu Ge, Sun Honglei, Zhang Yi, Zhou Yiwei, Sun Li and other actors form a strong cast of "North Africa Operation".

Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming and other older generation actors participated in the guest appearance, and almost every role was claimed by well-known domestic actors. It is simply another "Founding of a Republic".

Since the press conference for the start of "North Africa Operation" was held, this movie has become the most popular and most anticipated film in the country.

In the following four months, the crew of "North Africa Operation" fought back and forth between Dar Beida, Morocco, Dubai, UAE, ZJ Naval Port, SY Naval Base and Beijing.

It was also the first time for Shanhe to control such a large crew and shoot such a large-scale theme. Even with the shooting experience of "Operation Mekong", he still felt very strenuous sometimes.

Especially the more than two months of location shooting in Morocco was simply a nightmare shooting experience.

Morocco is known as the Pearl of North Africa and is a legendary African country. The crew decided to shoot the main location here for a simple reason. The background here is almost exactly the same as the background in the script, with desert Gobi, high mountains and ravines, vast and desolate. In addition, Morocco has just opened a visa-free permit for Chinese tourists. The local government of Morocco is extremely welcoming to Shanhe, offering excellent conditions and even sending troops to participate in the shooting and protection.

The crew of "Operation North Africa" ​​experienced more than 80 days of hard shooting here. Not to mention the actors, even the director Shanhe often shouted "help"!

Most of the war scenes in the film are located in the Gobi desert east of Marrakech, a famous commercial capital in Morocco. It is the only way to drive from Marrakech to the heart of the Sahara Desert.

Due to the poor infrastructure and bad road conditions in Morocco, the road is bumpy. If you are only traveling for a few days, there are many wonders here, which are completely different from the scenery in China, so you won't feel very tired.

But if you wait for a long time and have to engage in various high-intensity shooting, it is simply a purgatory on earth. The weather in the desert Gobi area is unpredictable, with a temperature difference of more than 40 degrees between day and night. It is so hot during the day that it can cause sunburn and peeling, but the temperature at night can drop sharply to below zero. The harsh natural conditions and the extremely difficult shooting tasks have made every main creator of "North Africa Operation" "scarred".

Liu Ye fractured his ankle, Deng Chao's face was almost disfigured by allergies, Sun Honglei, Zhou Yiwei and others were tortured to dehydration, and even Wang Baoqiang, who claimed to be the most adaptable, experienced vomiting. Shan He, the director, was not much better than them. He was sunburned and lost weight. The crew was extremely "ruthless" to themselves. Liu Ye and Deng Chao, two "funny guys", even called the crew a "hell training camp"!

But it is precisely because of such a Gobi hinterland and harsh climate that it fits the prototype story and can bring the most real and shocking blood scenes to the film, thus touching the hearts of the audience.

Another filming location of the movie is the famous Ait Ben Haddou fortified village. This village is known as "the most beautiful village in North Africa".

But here it is very different from the traditional "beauty", and it even looks very deserted and dilapidated. However, such a "plain-looking", desolate and decaying medieval village has become a popular film location since the 1960s. It has been used to shoot dozens of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Mummy", "Gladiator" and "Alexander the Great".

Compared with Morocco, filming in Dubai is simply a paradise. Although it is also a desert area, the conditions are incomparable!

The Arab tycoons were very attentive to the crew led by Shanhe, a super celebrity tycoon. During the more than ten days in Dubai, the crew was really eye-opening. Following Shanhe, they fully experienced what "tycoon's willfulness" is!

Not only were there special planes to pick them up and down, but they also stayed in the world's only seven-star hotel. All kinds of luxury made everyone call it abnormal.

Shanhe, the guest of honor, was treated as a super VIP. The king of the country immediately invited him to the palace and arranged a welcome dinner in the palace. In the midst of the laughter and chat, the king even proposed to cooperate with Shanhe to shoot a movie about Dubai, with no upper limit on investment and any remuneration!

After the dinner, the crown prince of the country visited the crew many times, watched the filming process of the movie, and deepened his relationship with Shanhe. These local tyrants were generous and generous, but they were also shrewd. Their purpose was very direct, to let Shanhe, the world's number one celebrity, promote Dubai!

After the reincarnation of hell and heaven, the crew returned to China, and the filming entered the climax. What made Shanhe and the entire crew extremely excited was the moment of filming the aircraft carrier fleet in the domestic naval port.

On the coast, looking at the majestic Chinese fleet, the entire crew fell into excitement. When they boarded China's first aircraft carrier, all the staff could hardly control their inner surging. Almost everyone was in tears, and Shanhe's eyes were also red.

This is our powerful motherland, this is the source of our security, and it is also the pride of the Chinese people!

During the days of filming in the military port, the whole crew was like a full spring, and the actors performed exceptionally well in this atmosphere. An indescribable feeling was stirring in the hearts of all the Huaxia staff!

We are not just making a movie, but also representing Huaxia to swear our return to the world!

When Shanhe announced the completion of "North Africa Operation" at Sanya Port, it was already September. This arduous and dreamy filming experience must be unforgettable for the whole crew!

Shanhe couldn't help but shed tears of emotion again when facing the naval soldiers who saluted and said goodbye to them on the ship.

After returning to Beijing, the babbling little Huihui no longer recognized Shanhe, the dark-faced father. She burst into tears when she saw Shanhe, which made the whole family feel distressed and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Fortunately, there is still a brother, Xiao Xiong'er. Qiu Yanche, who is almost five years old, can't forget his father. When he saw Shanhe, he pestered his father and was very happy and lively, especially when Shanhe took out the gifts he brought for him from his bag. Xiao Xiong was very happy. Various warship and aircraft models are the favorites of all little boys!

With the repeated certification of his brother Xiao Xiong, Xiao Huihui reluctantly accepted Shanhe, the father who was away from home. Shanhe hugged the little cotton jacket with powder makeup and jade carving, smelled her refreshing fragrance, and was intoxicated by the singing and laughter of the family.

However, Shanhe did not enjoy it at home for too long. Under the influence of various factors, the release date of "North Africa Operation" was set in the Spring Festival of 2017. As a result, the post-production time of the film was quite tight. He had to accompany his daughter and family while starting the heavy post-production work.

Time passed quickly in Shanhe's busyness. In a blink of an eye, it was December. After several months of overtime work, "North Africa Operation" finally completed the post-production on time with quality and quantity, and the film was placed in front of the top leaders of the country at the first time.

In the past year, the international situation facing China has changed greatly, especially after the election of an extremely unreliable leader in the United States. The suppression faced by China will be directly put on the table from the dark, and the challenges facing China in the future will be more direct and intense.

But this is an experience that a great power must face when it rises. After decades of keeping a low profile, China can already face these challenges alone and return to the world stage through these challenges.

At this time, China needs to give the world an attitude. Come on, we are ready. We are not afraid of any form of suppression and smearing. No one can stop China's revival!

And Shanhe's "North Africa Operation" is the best declaration: We have the ability to protect our citizens, and we have the ability to protect the results of decades of hard work of more than one billion Chinese people!

The first audience of "North Africa Operation" was not large, but it was very important. After nearly two and a half hours of screening, applause broke out in the small screening room in the center.

"Shanhe did a good job. The movie is both passionate and heroic, and well-reasoned. It fully demonstrates the attitude of our Chinese. We Chinese do not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. For the safety and future of Chinese people, we will do everything!"

"Hehe... I am looking forward to seeing the faces of those politicians when this movie is released in the West. I guess our big baby will be criticized by the Western media this time!"

"He is not afraid of these. This kid has enough confidence and character. I like this about him, he has the persistence of Chinese literati, he is tough enough! "

"Haha... Speaking of Shanhe, I met him when I was an ambassador to the United States more than ten years ago. At that time, he was still a half-grown boy, and his vision was really far-sighted. I still remember what he said, that in the near future, we will have a day when we can look at each other on an equal footing. Now this moment has really come, I am looking forward to it!"

...

The review of "North Africa Operation" was passed at the speed of light without any cuts. Chuhe Film and Television and China Film Group immediately began to promote the film in an all-round way around the world. The news that Shanhe's new film "North Africa Operation" will be released worldwide on January 30, 2017 was spread all over the Internet.

Coincidentally, the day when "North Africa Operation" was released happened to be the day when the new leader of the United States was sworn in. Shanhe was happy about this coincidence!

The premiere of "North Africa Operation" was grandly held at the Bird's Nest Stadium one day before the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rooster.

Needless to say, the scene was so grand that not only did it gather almost all the famous people in the Chinese film industry, but also the ordinary audiences who came to the scene filled the entire National Stadium Square. The high-decibel cheers set off the New Year atmosphere in advance, especially when the Shanhe couple walked on the red carpet, the cheers from the whole audience could be heard several miles away.

As legendary figures in the Chinese film industry, Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan were also invited to attend the premiere. Looking at the phenomenal popularity of the Shanhe couple, they both sighed and felt helpless.

The reason is very simple. The two's new films "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Kung Fu Yoga" were originally scheduled to premiere during the Spring Festival holiday, but "North Africa Operation" was scheduled to be released, and the distribution companies of the two films communicated with the two.

Everyone knows that releasing a movie in China at the same time as Shanhe's movie is simply courting death. Jackie Chan has a big name, but he can't make any waves against Shanhe. The same goes for Stephen Chow. You can't even beat "Ghost Blows Out the Light", let alone encountering a pervert like Shanhe!

What's more, "Casino Robo" is a mainstream war commercial blockbuster. Just look at "Operation Mekong". All the movies released at the same time as his movie failed!

Both Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow understand this. There is nothing they can do about it. They should move things up if they should be moved up, and push back what should be postponed!

Nearly three hours later, the premiere of "Operation North Africa" ​​ended with thunderous applause. The film did not disappoint the Chinese film and television industry and the audience. Under the flapping of the wings of the butterfly, "Operation North Africa" ​​not only maintained the original Real war scenes, more realistic and story-telling!

The dual-line narrative of the diplomats and the special operations team made the entire evacuation operation full of thrilling story tension, which always aroused the emotions of the audience. While showing the heroes going through life and death for their compatriots, it also further demonstrated the country's powerful strength and this The impact this kind of strength has on the people!

The torture the crew endured during the real-location shooting in Morocco was not in vain. The whole film is full of truth, sincerity and sincerity. While restoring the difficulty and efficiency of the evacuation operation, it also fully utilized the imagination of the film, allowing the audience to be immersed in the scene and feel the experience. What the characters in the play are thinking!

The two main lines each perform their own duties. The diplomat line is responsible for telling the background and expressing the story of the film, while the special operations team is responsible for various war scenes, bringing coolness and passion to the film.

In addition, the weapons in "Operation North Africa" ​​range from heaven to earth, land, sea and air. They can be called a "show-off" level. For example, the scene where the battleship's anti-aircraft secondary battery intercepts artillery shells shocked all the audience present.

The high-precision equipment in the movie is also combined with the high-precision personnel. The Jiaolong Squad has clear divisions of labor such as conscripts, observers, snipers, correspondents, etc. There is no high-level comprehensive team, but only a lot of useful information without any mistakes. !

When the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet majestically appeared on the big screen, the emotion of the film reached a climax, and the audience burst into amazing cheers. Everyone was proud of it. This is my country, this is the country of my blood. Where!

That night, "Operation North Africa" ​​became an unshakable hot spot on the Internet, and various exclamations appeared on the Internet.

“Operation North Africa is awesome, mountains and rivers are awesome, and China is awesome!”

"My heart is full of excitement, not for anything else but because I am Chinese!"

"Awesome, my country!"

…

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Operation North Africa" ​​was released, dominating the entire Chinese film market. The first-day box office broke the record again, taking the single-day box office of Chinese-language films to another level. It broke 500 million yuan on the first day, and the 5 700 million, not far from 600 million!
