What is Wuhan in the movie?
is the ups and downs of fate in "Jiangcheng Summer", the embarrassing nihility in "People on the Road", the chicken feather in "Floating City Mystery", and the stubbornness in "A Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".
Under the light and shadow, all are flesh, all are mortals.
Wuhan is not without glamour and beauty, but the sorrows and joys of the little people are even more interesting. People are another important quality of Wuhan.
has hard edges and corners, life is hot, big rivers and floating cities, and small sections are not restricted.

The upcoming new film "The Gathering at Southern Station" was also shot in Wuhan and also displayed The fate of little people. On November 25, the 14th Chinese Youth Film Week opened in Wuhan, and it will be unveiled as the opening film.
Wuhan, which is back on the screen, is still tough, and the city of fireworks and mundane is rising again.
is a fire in the south, rising enthusiastically. Director Diao Yinan's "South" is also like an uninhibited flame, full of vitality.
"The Gathering at South Station" is directed by Diao Yinan, starring Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan and Wan Qian are special stars, starring Qidao, is the only Chinese film shortlisted in the main competition of the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival.

This is a story about how Zhou Zenong rescued himself, the thief who accidentally killed the police. Diao Yinan continued the form of examining human nature in crimes, but unlike the cold "Fireworks in Daylight" five years ago, the light and shadow this time soaked the southern hot flashes.

Wuhan, the night spreads like desire, the sound of rain is uneasy, the fight is about to move, and the village in the city is as dark as the Kowloon Walled City. Hu Ge, who has always been glamorous, interprets Zhou Zenong in the Wuhan dialect of "It's a hot thing", and completes the awkward screen image breakthrough; while Gui Lunmei will draw out a red gold dragon, and use the authentic Wuhan dialect to strike up a conversation: "Crutch, borrow a fire Gee!"

. Through Wuhan, he is showing his vigorous side.
Zhou Zenong, who flees, is like a station, where people of all kinds meet, and then the clouds are scattered in all directions. Wuhan is also accustomed to welcoming and sending. The city's nine-province thoroughfare is also a station where destiny comes and goes.
In this way, the torrential story fits with the background of the surging river. No matter which movie it is in, the essence of Wuhan never changes. The two words
are called "jianghu".
Water and fire intersect, and the arena is boiling.
Many directors come to Wuhan for the first time, and they may be attracted by its noise and hotness, but in the details of the city, everyone feels different.

Wang Jing, born in Jiangsu Province, used "Wuhan City Space and the State of People" in "A Thousand Arrows Pierced the Heart"-under the squeeze of the secular space, people will become very angry Therefore, in his eyes, the texture presented by Wuhan is "very special" and "very quack".

is also from Jiangsu Wang Chao. The first time he became a director, he was shooting a citizen of Wuhan who had acted boldly. This also gave Wang Chao a good impression and hope for the city. Therefore, in "Jiangcheng Summer", he gave the little people a warm fate-reality is often hard and cruel, but the journey to fate can be hopeful.

Fu Huayang, the director of "Splendid Peach Blossoms", is a native of Shanxi. He selected the scenes in Shanghai, Nanjing and Chongqing, but eventually returned the novel by Wuhan writer Fang Fang to the city where it is located. , Because "the train roaring by on the Yangtze River Bridge is like a spring thunder that rolls in. Such a lingering city is especially prone to love." The division of waters in
makes the city present a diversified state; the turbulence of the rivers and lakes gives the city various stories. Everyone can see different aspects of Wuhan. Together, they are called tolerance. The
is compatible and packaged, and it is extraordinary.
As early as nearly ten years ago, Wuhan’s movie box office has been among the best in the country. This city has the largest number of theaters in the country, and has consistently led the box office., And more importantly, the types of movies with it as the background are amazing.

Just like this is the center of realism literature, Wuhan is also a fortress of realism movies. Movies focusing on ordinary destiny emerge in endlessly here. When many urban movies are frivolous, Wuhan's images always have a different weight.
But paying attention to reality does not mean sticking to gloom. "The Man Sleeping on the Sofa" is a youth comedy. The daily life of the young people who failed the college entrance examination in Wuhan resonates a lot; "Li Wen's Roaming East Lake" is documentary, with fiction and reality, and the various stories embedded in it are impressive A knowing smile; "British and White" and "Tan Hualin" filmed by local filmmakers also showed particularly vivid themes.
What is interesting is that in Wuhan's local self-media, you can see cool to magical images every day; but movies about this city always try to avoid its equally "beatable" appearance.

The gorgeousness of Shanghai, the extravagance of Beijing, the prosperity of Shenzhen, the fantasy of Chongqing... These signs of symbolism are not obvious in Wuhan. When they come here, people always seem to have the urge to tell a good story honestly, to wash away the lead blooms, not to have the pink and daisy, but to be hearty and easy to do.
This kind of freedom is the atmosphere of this city. It can be rejoicing, it can be sad; it can be reunited, it can be torn; it can be high, it can be low. Just like this city dared to use the seemingly melancholic "Gathering at Southern Station" as the "opening show" of a blockbuster movie event, the city does not have to always be resplendent and simple, it is also a kind of self-confidence.
In such a city of light and shadow, the upcoming 14th Chinese Youth Film Week is worth looking forward to. Because you know, there will be more works that breathe with life into the field of vision, and there will definitely be more lively movies that beat the heartbeat.
This is the encounter between the young filmmaker event and the city of youth, Wuhan. This is a hot, vigorous, majestic and confident "Gathering at Southern Station".
The 14th Chinese Youth Film Week will be held in Wuhan from November 25th to 29th, 2019. This year’s Chinese-speaking Youth Film Week consists of the opening ceremony and the new Chinese-speaking young actors’ promotion ceremony, the "Falcon Project" film project venture capital meeting, the young screenwriter’s special training camp, the star program, the Chinese-speaking young new film exhibition, the filmmaker forum, the closing ceremony and the The annual cutting-edge honor promotion ceremony and many other exciting activities constituted. At present, the preparations for various activities have entered the sprint stage, and a carnival for young filmmakers is about to open, so stay tuned!
