The official film "Beijing 2022" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, produced by Zhang Yimou and directed by Lu Chuan, was announced at the opening ceremony of the 5th Beijing International Film Festival on May 19. Yesterday, the film released a fixed trailer and a fixed poster, Wu Dajing, Su Yiming, Ren Ziwei, Yan Wengang, Hanyu Yuxun and other Winter Olympic athletes, as well as the behind-the-scenes staff of the Winter Olympics appeared in the trailer one by one, showing the little-known mental journey of the "Winter Olympians" inside and outside the arena, and further interpreting the Olympic spirit of defeating themselves.
Since 1912, the IOC has required each Olympic host city to produce a film documenting the Olympic Games. As the official film of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, "Beijing 2022" focuses the camera on the scenes of the exciting events, telling the story of sweat and tears behind the glory, just like the "Winter Olympic people" in adversity in the fixed trailer - in the face of competition pressure, physical pain, competition failure, construction difficulties, and epidemic troubles, they never say die, and strive forward and bravely move forward while questioning the meaning of the arena.
The fixed poster remembers the wonderful moments of the hard work of Winter Olympic athletes from all over the world, and they surround the Winter Olympic torch, which not only evokes people's good memories of the Winter Olympic Games, but also builds an Olympic torch with the vigorous vitality and humanistic feelings of competitive sports.
As the opening film of the 2022th Beijing International Film Festival, "Beijing 22" ushered in the world's first screening in Beijing on the 300nd. More than <> spectators walked into the theater to relive the wonderful moments in the preparation and holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics through the big screen, and shared the golden memories of the "City of Two Olympic Games". After the film screening, director Lu Chuan and athlete Su Yiming took the stage to interact with the audience.
According to Lu Chuan, "Beijing 2022" began to prepare in 2020 and took nearly 3 years to complete, and the team shot more than 700 hours of high-definition material, and the production process went through multiple difficulties to finally form this 103-minute film.
At the same time, IOC President Bach sent a video message. Bach greeted the audience cordially with Chinese, saying that last year Beijing became the first city in the world to host the Summer and Winter Olympics. All Chinese people are an integral part of writing this Olympic history. The Beijing International Film Festival is the perfect stage for the debut of Beijing 2022, a film that chronicles the unparalleled Olympic Winter Olympics. In this Winter Olympics, we have maximally demonstrated and sublimated the Olympic motto - faster, higher, stronger, more united. In this Olympic spirit, thank you to everyone who made this outstanding film possible.
