Zhejiang University Shot Films "Security Zone"

Directors all over the world have always been fond of the theme of "World War II." David Leen has photographed "The Bridge Over the River Kwai", Spielberger led the "Schindler's List", and Michael Palmer mirrored " Pearl Harbor... A few days ago, Brad Pitt also revealed that he was expected to launch his own "World War II" movie.

Coincidentally, the Donghai Film Group is preparing for the "Eastern Extreme Rescue," and Zhejiang Tianpeng Media is about to launch the "Rescue the Flying Tigers". Now even Zhejiang University is planning to invest in a 100 million film World War II movie - just a few months. There are three large pieces of "World War II" made in Zhejiang.

With so many "World War II" films colliding together, Professor Fan Zhizhong, executive director of the International Film and Television Development Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Institute) of Zhejiang University, is not surprised because next year is the 70th anniversary of the "World War II" victory. However, he said that the film produced by the Institute does not pursue spectacle of the image like an ordinary commercial blockbuster. The hospital hopes to produce a "World War II" film that reflects war, humanistic thinking and artistic value. American scholar and playwright Dr. Ma Xixia's work “Rao Jiaxuan Safe Area: Refugees in Shanghai in Wartime” was temporarily named “Safe Area”.

A few days ago, the three “Safe Zones” masterpieces of Karma Xia appeared on the Xixi Campus of Zhejiang University, and three lectures were given to students of the School of Media and International Culture. Karma Xia revealed that the story first originated from a real documentary about the French priest, Rao Jiaxuan. In 1937, the “Rao Jia Yi Security Zone” was established in Shanghai and saved 200,000 to 300,000 war refugees. After the Japanese army took over Nanjing, Rao Jiaxuan assisted the German businessman Rabe and established the Nanjing Security Zone. Subsequently, this relief model he founded was extended to China and even Europe. In the eyes of Karma, Rao Jialu is a more legendary figure than Schindler, and she also moved the idea of ​​filming.

Although the script has not yet been completed, Gengma Xia is very confident in the film. In her impression, most of the Chinese "World War II" movies ended in tragedy, and "the "safe area" has a beautiful ending. The safe area created by Rao Jiasheng successfully saved dozens of Millions of refugees, of whom there are at least 80,000 children." It is reported that after cooperating with Zhejiang University, the movie will not only make a scene in Hangzhou, but also use a large number of Chinese actors.
