Original title: The anti-epidemic documentary film Days and Nights in Wuhan shocked the audience by showing the heroic city war epidemic story in Han Dynasty.
Record life with life, and create a heroic hymn of ordinary people. The first domestic anti-epidemic documentary film co-produced by the Propaganda Department of Hubei Provincial Party Committee, Film Channel and Hubei Radio and Television Station held a special screening ceremony for Hubei media at Kaide 1818 Lumiere Cinema in Wuchang on the afternoon of 16th. During the epidemic in COVID-19 at the beginning of last year, the photojournalist of Changjiang Daily was always on the front line of anti-epidemic, and his work was selected as the material for the anti-epidemic documentary film Days and Nights in Wuhan. More than a dozen Hubei media reporters, representatives of some hospitals and communities in Wuhan, and some filming teams that provided materials for Days and Nights in Wuhan watched the film.
Not a voice-over, not a line.
Sun Tzu recited Tang poems to cheer up his grandfather in the intensive care unit; The husband cried in front of the camera, saying that his wife wanted to live and made delicious food and sent it to the hospital. Medical couples in Jinyintan Hospital spend the night in the car outside the hospital to avoid infecting their families … …
There is no popular actor and no designed acting skills. Every character and story in Days and Nights in Wuhan comes from the real record at the peak of Wuhan epidemic last year. The film was shot by more than 30 photographers in several hospitals, and many shots went deep into the intensive care unit. The audience could see scenes that they could not see at ordinary times: medical staff feeding patients, changing medicine, turning over and scrubbing their bodies, including surgery and rescue.
The camera was also aimed at the patients’ families and volunteers outside the hospital. They also fought to win time for the patients’ recovery and the smooth delivery of pregnant women. These pictures have no processing or rendering, and truly show the real picture of people fighting the epidemic in a city.
The most touching picture in the film is that just after a patient was sent away, a little life came into this world crying. This is the alternation of death and life, which is the continuation of life hope. The birth of a little life also smeared a bunch of bright colors for the world.
Dozens of times in the film, the images of Wuhan city were inserted, from the initial dark clouds, to the bright lights in the three towns during the joint fight against the epidemic, to the turning of Wuhan into safety when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Raindrops from the Yellow Crane Tower, lonely cyclists on the Yangtze River Bridge, birds on the branches of hospitals, and the streets and alleys in Wuhan seemed to all talk, telling that our city was in a critical moment, we were United as one, we were fighting, and we would surely defeat the virus.
More than 1000 hours of precious materials, 30 first-line photographers of war and epidemic, recorded their lives with their lives, and created heroic hymns of ordinary people. The film didn’t use a voice-over or write a line. Everything is extremely real, and it conveys more love and warmth, which is to cherish our hard-won happy life now.
"Delicate restraint, gentle telling", "plain with the power to hit people’s hearts", "the lens language is full of beauty" and "the real record is better than the top performance" … … Many people expressed such admiration after watching it.
The medical staff looked down with tears all the time.
"The whole process was seen with tears. The camera language brought me to that moment last year, when my colleagues and I joined hands to die. Seeing the medical staff in the movie, I also saw my colleagues and I were there. "
After the screening, Chen Sheng, a doctor’s representative from Wuhan No.7 Hospital, said that the most impressive scene was the baby’s first cry in the morning, which suddenly pulled his heart up. At that time, his tears could not stop flowing downwards, because it represented new life and hope.
Chen Sheng’s colleague, Dr. Chen Huifang, said that she also watched it with tears in her eyes. This film brought her back to the difficult period of fighting the encounter. She saw the figure of her colleague and the story of the heroic Wuhan people. What moved her in particular was to see an old man in the film who remained optimistic, strong and humorous after more than ten days of treatment, and the scene of the birth of a newborn. The tenacity of life made her shed tears.
Yao Shanglong, the chief physician from Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, is not only an anti-epidemic fighter, but also a person who recovered from COVID-19 infection. After watching Days and Nights in Wuhan, Yao Shanglong said with emotion that he spent more than 30 days and nights in the ward a year ago. He saw not only doctors but also patients. He experienced volunteers driving him home and community staff serving him, which fully demonstrated that Wuhan is a heroic city. This epidemic is ruthless, but there is love in the world, which fully embodies the spirit of great love of Wuhan people. It will be difficult for everyone in 2020, and everyone will be great.
What the film gives him is objective, real and touching, with life and death in it, but it gives people positive energy, the optimism of our medical staff and our patients, and the support of our family and all walks of life. During his stay in hospital, it was these that made Yao Shanglong finally overcome his illness.
The film Days and Nights in Wuhan uses a lot of video materials from Tan Haiyan’s team of Hubei Radio and Television Station. After watching the screening, Tan Haiyan and photographers Wu Qin and Wang Wei were interviewed. Tan Haiyan said that this is the fourth time she has watched a film. What is different this time is that she watched it in the cinema for the first time. The fourth time I saw her, I still shed tears. The scene that made her cry was that the film changed from the first act to the second act, which was the empty mirror of Wuhan city. It’s so beautiful. She knows that it’s not easy for all the heroes of Wuhan people to be behind this beauty. It’s only after 76 days of fighting that we got such a beautiful night scene. (Reporter: Wan Jianhui)
