Two young "seeking a man" and "seeking a girl" gathered in this film, and Shao Bing, Ding Liuyuan, Liu Peiqi, He Zhengjun, Luo Haiqiong and other senior powerful actors joined in to restore and interpret the heroic deeds of this folk rescue team.


Director Fan Yuan accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network to share the creative story of the film. "Rescue teams are sometimes in the mountains for three days and three nights, and they will never give up until they find someone. The willpower they show, we will enjoy it for life. "He hopes that more viewers will see this film and feel" what is love, what is great love and what is deep love ".



Collect ideas for 10 months and create 12 scripts.


"You are my hero" was created by Fan Yuan, the director, who heard about the rescue story of the Mountain Rescue Team of Fujian Mountaineering Association, and then went to Fuzhou to collect ideas, chat with the rescue team members and learn more about their true stories.


One of the laid-off workers did odd jobs after being laid off in his early years, pedaled tricycles to deliver goods and unload air conditioners during the day, and worked as a security guard at night. His old mother was paralyzed in bed in her 80 s, and her wife was somewhat disabled, so her family conditions were very bad. But in this case, he still joined the rescue team.


"I asked him what he wanted to do, and he went to save people after all this at home. He said that it was because I was too dissatisfied. Saving people made me feel that I was useful to others. Others needed me, not living for those three meals in one day. I was a person who others still needed me. "


These words deeply infected Fan Yuan. In the process of communicating with many team members, he realized their sense of happiness and accomplishment in the rescue process, and also saw the director’s creative concept of consistently paying attention to the little people at the bottom, so he decided to put the story of the mountain rescue team on the big screen.



To this end, ten months before the filming, the director led the creative team to live in the rescue base, stayed with the team members, and participated in rescue operations many times, witnessing the dangerous rescue scenes of the mountain rescue team and their figures coming forward.


"I keep writing, and I keep making new discoveries and new insights." Fan Yuan said that he had never written so many scripts since he made the film, and the number of scripts for this film reached 12, constantly polishing and finding the balance between the main theme film and the commercial genre film, and integrating the documentary nature of real people and the visibility of dramatic conflicts.



During the landscape survey, the director accidentally bumped into the rock wall on the way to grab the rope from the rock cliff and was injured. So far, he has not fully recovered, which shows how difficult and dangerous the mountain rescue team usually has to overcome. The director revealed that he and the rescue team were in the same group, and sometimes when they received the task at three or four o’clock in the middle of the night, their groups immediately attended the work without any worries.


"Do your best, help others without pay" is the pledge of the mountain rescue team, which is written into the story and every role in the film.


Four thrilling rescue scenes, overcoming difficulties and interpreting heroic spirit


On the precipice of Baiyun Cave, rescue the girl who is about to slip and fall; On the steep cliff, rescue the woman who will fall into the abyss; Encounter stormy waves at the edge of the reef to rescue those in distress trapped by high tide water; Save the children of migrant workers trapped in the mountains before typhoons and flash floods swept through. ……


The film combines realism with the techniques of disaster movies, leading the audience to immerse themselves into a series of thrilling rescue operations.


Chen Yongsheng, Lin Boyang, Shao Bing, Ding Liuyuan and other actors all made physical examination in advance before shooting, and learned to master rescue skills such as ropes and rock climbing. In addition to being starred by professional actors, the rescue team members also played in their true colors, adding professionalism and realism to the film.



The shooting of four main rescue scenes in the film is mainly based on real scenes, supplemented by shed shooting and CG for visual improvement. Fan Yuan said that this is the most bitter play he has ever made, and every rescue scene is difficult to shoot:


In the first rescue scene, Chen Jiakui, played by Lin Boyang, cuts two pairs of trousers and grinds blood when performing the action scene of falling.


The seaside rescue play built a pool of two meters deep and hundreds of square meters in the studio, and made waves with a wave maker. On the second day of New Year’s Day, Shao Bing and Ding Liuyuan had to be immersed in the water while facing the attack of wind and waves and the test of low temperature.


The last rescue scene on the mountain was also filmed in winter, from 7: 00 pm to 4: 00 am the next day. At night, the temperature was very low and it rained all the time. "The first round of several shots was really unbearable for ordinary people.".



Fan Yuan was worried that young actors couldn’t suffer. After working with Chen Yongsheng and Lin Boyang, he felt their efforts and praised them for their dedication, seriousness and modesty, which made him sit up and take notice.


Lin Yunwang, played by Chen Yongsheng, has a very comprehensive rescue skill in the film and becomes the captain. In order to create a good role, Chen Yongsheng trained hard and devoted himself wholeheartedly. All these directors saw it in their eyes. "This child is really dedicated, and now there is nothing wrong with the exaggeration of young actors."



Except for rolling on the cliff with body double, Ding Liuyuan did all the movements by himself. She said that as a soldier in length of military service for 30 years, she really experienced what it is to be a "warrior" in peacetime.


"The hardship of the creator is really nothing to mention. It is conceivable what the rescue team really paid for? We often talk about shooting the Long March with the spirit of the Long March and the Red Rock with the spirit of the Red Rock. We also want to shoot this film with their heroic spirit. "



They rewrote "poverty is the only way to protect yourself, and prosperity is the best way to help the world"


"You are my hero" is an action disaster film with the theme of rescue, and it is also a group drama depicting volunteers from all walks of life in mountain rescue teams, full of the temperature of life and warm human touch.


Director Fan Yuan believes that although mountain rescue is not as "earth-shattering" as other rescue scenes, they strive to establish an effective emotional relationship between the audience, the rescuer and the rescued, so that the audience can feel sympathy and empathy for their fate.



In the film, Lin Yunwang’s sister was paralyzed because of the mistake of anesthesia nurse Chen Jiajia. After Lin Yunwang rescued Chen Jiazhen from the cliff, the two unexpectedly became friends. Chen Jiazhen also followed Lin Yunwang’s example and gradually became a glorious rescuer from the rescued. After learning the truth of the medical accident, their feelings went through some entanglements.


Lin Yunwang shouldered her sister’s medical expenses of more than 10,000 yuan per month, so she sold a seawater farm, delivered takeout during the day and worked as a stevedore at night, and she lived a life of shame. Yang Mingli, played by Shao Bing, has a daughter who suffers from congenital anemia and lives in poverty. Even so, they all actively participated in the rescue operation, and their teammates were very United and friendly and tried their best to help them.


The film not only presents exciting rescue action scenes, but also deeply shows the affection, friendship, love and selfless love of these rescue heroes.



"Mencius said that if you are poor, you will be immune to it, and if you are rich, you will help the world. They overthrew this sentence of Mencius. In the view of director Fan Yuan, it is not the rich who "help the world". Many volunteers of the mountain rescue team still help others and give their love to others even though their lives are poor.


There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who stand up. The director said, "What they have accomplished is also a kind of self-salvation, they don’t want to be mediocre people, and they don’t go with the flow." This is also the spirit that "You are my hero" wants to convey to the audience.
