On July 18th, "Galaxy Tutorial" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei was officially released.
The first day of release of the film exceeded 40%, with a cumulative box office of over 150 million, making it the hottest domestically produced film this summer.
surprised many people that the 147-minute movie was all shot in Zhejiang, most of which were shot in Lanxi, and some were shot in Jiande and other places.
Speaking of film framing, many fans will remember that the city in the animated film "Yesterday's Blue Sky" released last year was completely drawn according to the actual scene of Lanxi.
Why Lanxi, a small town in Zhejiang Province, suddenly became a popular city for filming?
Directors Deng Chao and Yu Baimei of "Galaxy Tutorial" said: "Hao Yi, the concept designer of "Galaxy Tutorial", chose Lanxi from more than 2,000 cities because the natural scenery here is very beautiful and the charm of the city is well preserved. The profound cultural environment here restores the sense of age in the film. Everyone on the crew came to Lanxi and felt that'this is it.'"
On July 17th and 18th, a reporter from Qian Bao came to Lanxi for an on-site visit. For this reason, this city has largely retained the appearance of Chinese industrial cities in the 1980s and 1990s, coupled with the profound historical and cultural heritage of Lanxi itself, and the beautiful natural environment, it is very suitable for the popular 1980s and 1990s. Filming for the background movie.
twice a day "green leather" to Lanxi
train station to become a fan check-in point
Lanxi is located in Jinhua City in the middle of Zhejiang Province, where three rivers meet, the waist of six waters, and the thoroughfare of seven provinces, it is known as the "land of orchids in China".
only has one green leather train a day from Hangzhou to Lanxi.
For many people, the memory of green trains should stay in the 1980s and 1990s. Now that high-speed rail is developing rapidly, green trains are rarely seen.
From Hangzhou Lanxi, there is only one train T7785 a day, 2 hours and 42 minutes.
There is only one train T7786 from Lanxi back to Hangzhou, which takes 2 hours and 43 minutes.
Both trips are green trains. Even more surprising is that Lanxi Railway Station only has two trains a day.
Lanxi Railway Station is in the city center, retaining the railway station architectural style of the 1970s and 1980s.
The cabin is small but clean and elegant. On one side of the
wall is a tile painting of "Huangshan Wonders", and on the other side of the wall is a tile poster of "No dangerous goods on the bus" tile poster signed in 1990. There are rows of ceiling fans on the top of the waiting room.
walked into the platform, and the cedar trees that had been planted for many years were tall and tall, and the platform was also old-fashioned white and green. The
green leather train is posted with the "Express" license plate for "Hangzhou to Lanxi". The yellow seat covers and yellow curtains in the carriage are also clean and elegant.
It is reported that in 1932, Lanxi Station was completed. In 2009, the Lanxi-Qiandaohu section terminated its passenger transportation business, and Lanxi Station became the only window for external operations on the Jinqian Railway. But in 2016, Lanxi Station only handles the start-to-end service from Lanxi to Hangzhou, which means "green leather" twice a day.
A Lanxi citizen told a reporter from Qianbao that Lanxi Railway Station was still very lively in the 1980s and 1990s, when the terminal was Qiandao Lake, but because of the rise of high-speed rail, Lanxi Station became silent. Young people in Lanxi now travel, either choose long-distance buses, or take the high-speed rail to Jinhua and then take a taxi to Lanxi.
The absence of high-speed rail makes it a little inconvenient for the people of Lanxi to travel, but , the "Lanxi Station" with a sense of age, is like a treasure for movie scene selectors who have nowhere to look for them.
Because there are such small southern stations with green leather trains, there are few in the country.
In "Galaxy Tutorial", the father and son went on a trip, and there were many scenes of Lanxi Railway Station and Green Leather Train.
The original creator of "Yesterday's Blue Sky", Pocket Chocolate, is from Lanxi, and his Lanxi Railway Station is full of fresh and fresh air from the south of the Yangtze River. Lanxi Railway Station has also become one of the places where fans of "Yesterday's Blue Sky" check in.
In addition, these two "green skins"Now it has become an Internet celebrity, attracting many young tourists to take a ride, come to punch a card and enjoy the feeling of time slowing down, so almost all seats are full.
The old industrial plant is like a "natural" studio
can be set up as large as an "aviation base"
Anyone familiar with the history of Zhejiang knows that Lanxi Industry was once a banner leading Zhejiang. In 1960, the first large-scale hydropower station designed by the People's Republic of China-Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station was completed and put into operation.
As a supporting facility for Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, the predecessor of China Aluminum-Lanjiang Smelter is located in Lanxi. Later, cable factories, plastic factories, chemical factories, pesticide factories, machine tool factories, auto parts factories, cotton spinning factories... all settled in Lanxi. During the planned economy period, Lanxi had the dazzling glory of an industrial city.
To Zhejiang people and even to Chinese people, "Lanjiang MSG", "Yunshan Golden Pen", "Phoenix Soap" and "Kaixuan Gas Appliance" are all well-known brands, and these are all produced by Lanxi.
But by the end of the last century, with the vigorous development of the market economy, the established state-owned enterprises in Lanxi began to fail to keep up with the times.
In recent years, some factories originally located in the urban and suburban areas of Lanxi have moved out, leaving a large number of idle old factories. These old factories of
are a treasure in the eyes of many film crews.
There are many scenes of astronauts in the base, and even the scenes in the space capsule in "Galactic Cram School", which were shot in the old factory building of the "Old Aluminum Factory" in Lanxi.
Qianbao reporter came to the old factory area of Hualu, which is the "old aluminum factory" among the population of Lanxi, on the west road of the suburb of Lanxi.
For the people of Lanxi, the "old aluminum factory" is the local "Hanggang". From hospitals to schools, food markets, if a small town, at most, there are more than 6,800 employees.
But now the aluminum factory here has been relocated, except for the entrance and exit of the guards and scattered personnel, only a huge empty factory building and a tall chimney remain.
On July 18th, the local staff in Lanxi who accompanied the "Galaxy Tutorial" to watch the scene last year told the Qianbao reporter that the factory building required by the crew should be taller and bigger because of the scenery of the aviation base.
and the workshop where the film was finally shot made the crew very satisfied, sighing "this is probably the largest studio in the country". The reporter from
Qianbao then came to the large workshop where the film was shot. This plant can only be described as "huge". It takes 10 minutes to walk from beginning to end. Observe carefully, there is still a railroad track in the plant. When the aluminum plant was the largest, there was a special railway here to transport alumina, the raw material for aluminum smelting. The design of the roof of the
factory building is also very industrial and unique.
such a large plant, it is estimated that several large crews can start work at the same time. In the
factory, there are also several built-in scenery built by "Galaxy Tutorial". Inside the
, there is still a banner "Astronaut Expedition Ceremony for the Dawn 16 Manned Flight Mission". The original air base scene was filmed here.
The other is the interior of the shabby room where Deng Chao and his son live.
In addition, there are several parts of the "space capsule" and a schematic diagram of the "rocket operation information" in the workshop.
Walking out of the factory, outside the factory is the characteristic scenery of the old industrial zone, the most noticeable thing is the tall chimney.
In "Galaxy Tutorial", there is an important plot that Deng Chao was humiliated and economically embarrassed after he was in prison. The job that allowed him to regain his confidence and earn the first money was as a designer. He solved the problem that a large chimney to be blasted could not find a blasting point. There are many chimneys in the
factory area. After searching for it, I finally found the big chimney that Deng Chao climbed up. The chimney still has the wooden ladder that Deng Chao climbed from at the time.
It is reported that with the filming of "Galaxy Tutorial" in the aluminum factory last year, the scenery of the heavy industry factory area and the "natural" factory studio have attracted the interest of many film and television companies.
In addition to the aluminum factory, Lanxi City also retains many old factory buildings from the 1980s and 1990s.
came to the original factory area of the famous "Lanxi Monosodium Glutamate Factory", which has a beautiful environment and green trees.
and the MSG factory are connected with "blue cotton", "blue cotton" is alsoIt is a big factory in the era of planned economy. It was once brilliant and moved out of the city in 2009. The original factory area of the
MSG factory and "Blue Cotton" have preserved the buildings from the 1980s and 1990s.
Ming Dynasty city walls, Ming and Qing streets and alleys
are all popular spots
Lanxi, where the Lan River gathers the water of the three rivers, water transportation was once very developed, so it is called "Millennium Commercial Port".
At present, there are many lanes such as "Thanhua" and "Zhongxi" in the residential community south of Yan'an Road in the urban area of Lanxi, which fully preserves the style and features of Ming and Qing streets.
Lanxi was rated as a provincial-level historical and cultural city in 2000. The profound historical accumulation is one of the reasons why many films choose to shoot in Lanxi.
In "Yesterday's Blue Sky", many plots take place in the ancient alleys of the south of the city in Lanxi. These ancient alleys give the movie a strong southern cultural flavor.
In "The Galaxy Cram School", Deng went to find his son after going beyond prison, but the son ran away unwilling to see his father. Finally, Deng Chao finally found his son at the entrance of the alley. This scene was also shot in the ancient alley in the south of the city.
The South Ancient Alley in Lanxi is amidst the tall ancient houses. The alley is very narrow and it is estimated that only two people can pass.
Looking from one end to the other, the ancient alley looks very long. The two houses are connected by an arched wall. Walking on the bluestone slab, you can see a line of blue sky between the white walls and the black tiles. It is a beautiful composition. Scenery.
Not far from the southern ancient alley is the west gate tower and city wall, the landmark of the ancient city of Lanxi. The 600-meter city wall along the river was rebuilt in the 7th year of Ming Zhengde (1512). The
tower is very majestic. You can overlook the Lanjiang River when you climb the tower. There are still many docks along the river, and ships can be seen in the distance.
The movie "Yesterday's Blue Sky" started with the silhouette of the West Gate Tower and the Lanjiang River flowing slowly by its side. In the film, the protagonist and his classmates often leaned on the guardrail overlooking the Lanjiang River, chatting and chatting.
It is reported that the ancient city of Lanxi retains a relatively intact texture of the ancient county town of the Tang and Song dynasties and more than 200 old houses. For filming, it can greatly enrich the visual elements and increase the cultural connotation.
On July 18, the reporter from Qian Bao also came to the alma mater of Pocket Chocolate, "Lanxi No. 3 Middle School". The campus in "Yesterday's Blue Sky" is "Lan San Middle School", and the school where Deng Chao's son in "Milky Way Cram School" is Shooting scenes in three schools, "Lan San Middle School", "Shushan Middle School" and "Experimental Primary School".
The old school gate of "Lan San Middle School" is very well preserved, and there is already the "Yesterday Blue Sky" "Check in 1 Station" logo on the side.
Deng Chao’s Lanxi Beef Noodles
sells two hundred bowls every day
. In recent years, because many movies were shot in Lanxi, Lanxi’s popularity has greatly increased, and Lanxi gourmet beef noodles have also become popular online.
On July 6, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei held a screening of "Galaxy Tutorial" in Hangzhou in advance, and invited people from Lanxi who helped the filming to watch the film.

Deng Chao said: "We Jiangxi people grew up eating noodles. There is no such in-depth understanding. After Lanxi went back, Bai Mei and I often thought about the bowl of Rongrong (noodle shop). There are so many ingredients in the bowl, layer after layer, like looking for treasure... to Rongrong for me (Noodle shop) The proprietress says hello! I really want to eat another bowl of Lanxi Beef Noodles!"
Lanxi has a lot of food, and now a "Galaxy Tutorial" makes Lanxi Beef Noodles become popular. The "Rongrong Noodle Restaurant" that Deng Chao said was on Li Yu Road in downtown Lanxi. It has a small facade, but the words "Hand-made noodles that Brother Chao loves" are very eye-catching at the door.
walked inside. On the wall were photos of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei eating noodles in the store, as well as a group photo of Deng Chao and the proprietress Wu Yawen. Deng Chao in the group photo was still the desolate look from the movie just released from prison. The business of the noodle shop
is good, the tables are full, and the lady boss is very busy cutting beef and serving noodle bowls.
She told reporters from Qianbao that her mother-in-law made the noodles, and her husband cooked the noodles and worked as a waiter outside. "Deng Chao came here more than 20 times when filmingHe likes to put hot peppers, and beef noodles will increase intestines. "
Lanxi's beef noodles are more distinctive. It is hand-rolled noodles. In addition to beef, the ingredients include tomatoes, soy products, pickles, garlic, green onions, etc. It can be said to be "one clean, two white, three red, four green", and it looks brightly colored. , The ingredients are very rich. A single order of beef noodles is usually 12 to 14 yuan a bowl, you can add more ingredients, the price is a little more expensive.
"In addition to ordering beef noodles, Deng Chao also likes to order another scallion cannon egg, which is about 40 yuan per meal. Block it. "Wu Yawen said. Outside the entrance of

Of course, now Lanxi is building a new platform, gathering new industries, and the industrial economy is being replaced with new engines. At the same time, the local area is also actively promoting film and television culture. The integrated development of industry, tourism, service industry and other related industries hopes that film and television tourism can become its new growth point.
