For most mountaineers, to conquer the peak of Mount Qomolangma —known in the West as Mount Everest —is a lifelong dream.
For many mountaineers, climbing Everest is their lifelong dream.
In 1960 Chinese mountaineers ascended the peak of Qomolangma, marking the first time in history a group ascended the world's highest peak via its treacherous North Slope. The original route was revisited by China's national expedition team in 1975, who again climbed the peak. The story was recreated in the recent hit movie The Climbers .
In 1960, the Chinese climbed Mount Everest for the first time. This was the first time in the history of mountaineering in the world that they climbed to the top from the steep and abnormal northern slope. In 1975, China once again used the power of the national team. Now this brilliant. This period of history is believed to have been revisited by many viewers due to the recent movie "The Climber".
The crew of The Climbers —including producer Ren Zhonglun, actors Wu Jing, Zhang Yi and Hu Ge —attended a screening event at Peking University in Beijing on Oct 11 night. Joining them was Sangzhu, a mountaineer who was a member of the Chinese expedition team in 1975.
On the evening of October 11th, the crew of "The Climber" came to Beijing again. Producer Ren Zhonglun, starring Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Hu Ge, etc. appeared at Peking University. Also participating in this screening event was the Hero of Mount Everest in 1975. Sangzhu.
Facing the enthusiastic students of Peking University, the straightforward Wu said: "Recently, we heard a lot of voices, some being a bit complicated and controversial. But I still want to hear more views. Peking University — which has its own mountaineering association ' shanying she'(mountain eagle club) —has a tradition to be open to different views. So we have come here to expect more comments on our film. "
confronts Peking University, Wu Jing said frankly: "Recently, "The Climber" heard Many voices are very complicated. But I still want to hear more. Peking University is a place where ideas collide, and I heard that there is a mountain eagle club. Our "Climber" crew also came to Peking University to learn. "
As one of the biggest blockbusters during the competitive National Day holiday, The Climbers was perhaps the most underestimated film. I watched an IMAX version before the holiday and was impressed by the spectacular scenes of avalanches and the hardship of mountaineering. Despite some flaws, the movie is worth watching in theaters as such a theme is rarely seen in China.
is one of the "Three Big Movies" in the National Day file, "The Climber" is a pity, it seems to be the most underrated movie among them. I watched the IMAX version of "The Climber" before the National Day, and I was very impressed with the scenes of avalanches and climbing difficulties. Generally speaking, I think this is still a rare subject in China. Although there are some shortcomings, it is still worth checking in.
Interestingly, The Climbers was also released in the United Kingdom and North America. According to box office tracking website Box Office Mojo, the movie has grossed more than $325,000 from 102 cinemas in the United States and Canada. Some foreign media outlets also reviewed the movie .

Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter commented: "Anchored by The Wandering Earth and Wolf Warrior 2 star Wu Jing, The Climbers goes heavy on bombast and heart-pounding peril (so many storms) in detailing the …north face ascent of Qomolangm in 1975 to the glory of China… with Wu in the lead, the film could prove a modest hit with overseas action fans."
American magazine "Hollywood Report" commented: "A film starring Wu Jing, the actor of "Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior 2" "The Climber" focuses on generous speeches and shows a large number of thrilling dangerous scenes (such as many storm scenes), which describes in detail the story of China's summit of Mount Everest from the north slope for national honor in 1975...Yes Wu Jinglai leads the starring role. This movie may arouse some repercussions among overseas action movie fans. "
South China Morning Post
The South China Morning Post: "The Climbers is at its most thrilling when it focuses on the pure adrenaline of holding ground in a vicious snowstorm. Less convincing is Lee's indulgence in Wu's action credentials, with the Wolf Warrior 2 star occasionally launching into death-defying heroics that feel comically out of character with the largely realistic adventure drama."
"South China Morning Post" film review said: "The most attractive feature of "The Climber" is that when a bad snowstorm hits, the lens focuses on creating Human adrenaline rushing action scenes. But director Li Rengang is too obsessed with showing Wu Jing's action scenes. This "Wolf Warriors 2" male star from time to time shows his fearless life and death heroism scenes, but it makes people feel like this adventure film "
The Wrap
The Wrap said: "Daniel Lee and his colleagues deliver a less flamboyant but equally nationalistic mountain-climbing answer to Top Gun ,one that's mostly focused on the camaraderie and heartbreak that the (predominantly male) National Mountaineering Team faces whenever their stubborn but resourceful leaders Wuzhou Fang (Jing Wu, Wolf Warrior II) and Qu Songlin (Zhang Yi) press on in the face of avalanches, snow drifts, and other killer weather c onditions."
The film review of The Wrap, a popular Hollywood website, compared "The Climber" with Tom's early work "Top Gun". The film review stated: "This film shot by Li Rengang and his team A film that is not too fancy but fully displays patriotic feelings can be regarded as the "Mountaineering Version" of "Rising Clouds". The themes focus on showing friendship and the heartbreaking moments facing the Chinese national mountaineering team, the latter mainly through their persistent but experienced team leaders Fang Wuzhou (Wu Jing, "Wolf Warrior 2") and Qu Songlin (played by Zhang Yi) It is manifested from time to time for avalanches, snowfalls caused by storms and other deadly weather conditions.
