A few days ago, the cast of Sun Yat-sen, a film dedicated to the centenary of the Revolution of 1911, filmed an important scene in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, where Sun Yat-sen officially took office as the interim president of the Republic of China in 1912. However, the weather was not beautiful, and typhoons, rainstorms and hot summer weather took turns in recent days, which greatly affected the filming progress. Under the bad weather conditions, all the actors are very dedicated and admirable.
On location, it was sunny and rainy, and 600 group performances took pains.
When filming the exterior scene of Sun Yat-sen’s arrival at the presidential palace, it was sunny, sometimes it rained cats and dogs, and sometimes it blew typhoons. The crew had to seize the opportunity of sunny days to shoot. In addition to the active cooperation of a number of main actors, more than 600 extras also frequently walked on the scene, which was very hard. Later, the inauguration ceremony of the interim president was an indoor play. Hundreds of group performances and main actors gathered in the church with limited space, and the whole shooting environment was soaring and crowded. However, judging from the final shooting effect, these two scenes were very successful. The atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony under the camera was warm and solemn, and the scene of Sun Yat-sen reading the oath of office was exciting.
Wearing a robe with a thick cover is tested by a high temperature of 30 degrees.
The reporter visited the class and learned that another scene was shooting Soong Ching Ling who was sick. At that time, it was raining outside, but the indoor temperature could still reach more than 30 degrees, and the narrow space was crowded with staff, which made the room even more sultry. The actor of Soong Ching Ling was lying on the bed wearing a robe and a thick quilt. The makeup team staff had to keep coming forward to wipe the sweat on the actor’s face and then make up the makeup. The filming of this scene lasted nearly three hours, and the high temperature environment was a big test for the actors’ physical strength and patience.
On the set, Liu Jin is witty and Ji Wang is lively.
In the play, Liao Zhongkai is played by Liu Jin, an old actor. This powerful actor, who is well known to the audience for playing Zhou Enlai, is full of atmosphere. On the big screen, he has always maintained a serious and wise image. On the set, the old gentleman showed a humorous side. When he was ready to start work, he pointed to a staff member and said humorously, "Hey, it’s time to work, you can’t be lazy!" Ji Wang, a famous actress who plays Ni Guizhen, Soong Ching Ling’s mother, is even more active at the scene, and often gestures with a "V" in front of the documentary camera during filming.
It is reported that the filming of Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, has been completed in Zhongshan, and the crew will move to Hengdian, Zhejiang Province to continue filming. As a film dedicated to the centenary of the 1911 Revolution, the film will be grandly screened in October this year.
