"Mountain Monument" is based on the hero Wu Zutai of Yuanyang, Henan Province. It tells a touching story of how he cared about the people and devoted himself to the design and construction of the Red Flag Canal until he gave up his precious life.
The creative team all appeared at the press conference
At 10 a.m. on October 10, the press conference for the launch ceremony of the movie "Mountain Monument" was held at the Yellow River Guesthouse in Zhengzhou.
Zhang Yuzhong, a national first-level director and screenwriter, former director of the feature film department of Bayi Film Studio, chairman of Henan Changhai Industrial Co., Ltd., representative of Luohe Municipal People's Congress, vice president of Luohe Municipal General Chamber of Commerce, economic work of Luohe Municipal Committee of Democratic National Construction Committee director Li Min, national first-level screenwriter Cui Faguang and other creative team members were all present.

"Mountain Monument" was produced by Henan Xiuquren Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. It is a documentary film and television work. It uses Wu Zutai, a hero from Yuanyang, Henan, as a model, telling the story of his participation in the design and construction of the Red Flag Canal after he came to work in Anyang. A story of heroic sacrifice to protect co-workers. It reflects the majestic spirit of a generation of Communists who led the people to struggle hard and dare to compete with the sun and the moon for glory.
Wu Zutai is the designer of Hongqi Canal. After witnessing the scene of people in Lin County (now Linzhou, Anyang) carrying water for food over dozens of miles of mountain roads, I firmly believed in helping the people solve the problem of "difficulty in drinking water". While
was injured and hospitalized, Wu Zutai asked someone to find a house near the hospital and worked day and night regardless of the pain. From Pingshun, Shanxi to Fentouling, Lin County, he used a series of numbers as support to draw the high position of the river leading to Lin.
In order to complete the design of the drawings for diverting the Yangtze River into the forest, Wu Zutai led his team into the Taihang Mountains, traveling through the mountains and ridges, and among the barren rocks and cliffs. After repeated measurements three times, he finally designed the "Preliminary Construction of the Main Canal Project for Diverting the Yangtze River into the Forest Land in Lin County". arrange".
During the survey and construction of the Hongqi Canal, soil fell from the tunnel. Out of high responsibility for the lives of the people, Wu Zutai entered the tunnel to inspect. Unfortunately, the roof of the tunnel collapsed and he died heroically. He was only 27 years old.
Wu Zutai's life was short, but he left the most precious things in his life to the people of Lin County.
Three efforts were made to make "Mountain Monument"
"This film is mainly about Wu Zutai. He died early and there are not many words about him. This just leaves us with a lot of creative space." The film director Zhang Yuzhong said at the press conference that artistic creation can neither be imaginative or random, nor can it mechanically imitate or stand still. It is necessary to describe the protagonist's growth based on life and in accordance with artistic logic.
Heroes are never perfect, but they do not rule out their pursuit of perfection. In the eyes of Zhang Yuzhong, Wu Zutai is a doer who speaks little, has strong execution ability, takes the overall situation into consideration, pursues perfection, and is "selfless" most of the time. He used extraordinary perseverance and dedication, used his major, love, and life to tell the story about water in that era.
"As a Henan native and a film and television worker, I am proud of the splendid and long history and culture of the hinterland of the Central Plains. We have the responsibility to produce films worthy of the great era." Zhang Yuzhong said that he will focus on telling good stories and making films. We will focus on three aspects: good vision and creating high-quality innovative plots to make "Mountain Monument" a success.
"Mountain Monument" producers Li Min and Wu Zutai are both from Yuanyang County. When she first read the script, she was deeply moved by the seniors.
"He designed the Hongqi Canal with almost primitive tools." Talking about the original intention of investing in "Mountain Monument", Li Min said that Wu Zutai is a model of hero who appeared in Yuanyang, with persistence, determination, seriousness, not being afraid of difficulties, and overcoming difficulties, etc. Many tears that moved me. At present, we should continue to carry forward this spirit, strengthen cultural confidence, and increase the discovery and promotion of forgotten figures. "It is good for the present, good for future generations, and allows the spirit of the Red Flag Canal to be passed down. I have no hesitation in investing in this film to make some positive contributions to the spiritual construction of our nation and our Chinese dream.""
" This movie will restore to the majority of young people a hero of the era who sacrificed his life for the happiness of the people; it will provide a model for hundreds of millions of college students to learn from. "Producer Cui Faguang said that the movie "Mountain Monument" will be a masterpiece carefully produced by Henan Xiuquren Cultural Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.
