New poster

1905 movie network news  China’s first panoramic sound nature film "Heron World" will officially land in the national cinema on January 1st. The film lasted for five years and was well-made. It is a sincere nature blockbuster and a milestone of nature films in China. Fans have said: It’s time to top the Chinese people’s own masterpieces. The film takes place in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in China, and tells the true life story of a young heron "Zeyi" who survived various dangers in nature. Heron, commonly known as "Laodeng", is known for its great patience. Director Sun Ning, following "The Big Swan", is another masterpiece that he persisted in for five years, and it is also a hot choice for family to watch movies on New Year’s Day.

 

Aspect 1: Respect for maternal love leads to growth, and nature writes the chapter of life.

Walking into the world of birds, you will find that they also have rich lives and emotions. This is not personification, but that we pay too little attention to and get close to nature. The commentary of Heron World is full of literary flavor, which makes people feel cordial and moved, while the warm maternal love easily reminds the audience of their mother. This kind of growth from shallow to deep, through the growth of the little heron, makes people feel the hardships of reality, which can be regarded as a living parent-child lesson.

"Being alive is the premise of pursuing your dreams." In the film, Zeyi’s mother, Lu Ping, sticks to her mother’s post and shoulders the heavy responsibility of raising Zeyi. However, the mother’s wings were injured and broken, and she could only die. Zeichi, who lost his mother, can only face this beautiful and cruel world alone. This may be the pain of growing up. In the most unbearable pain of separation, Zeyi must face the choice of survival of the fittest in nature, and must face the departure of his parents and his independent viability. The motherly love of no species, the hardships of growing up and the fear of life shown in the film are also the most touched places for the audience so far.

 

Aspect 2: The cliff nests in a desperate place to survive, and the heron’s rare living state is exposed.

"Heron World" is the first time at home and abroad to show a panoramic view of the living conditions of herons, and it is also the first time that the audience can get a close look at the living habits of herons from the first perspective. In the film, herons choose to build their nests on cliffs, which is a big challenge to the survival of their own species while avoiding natural enemies. The protagonist "Zeyi" in the film has gradually grown into an experienced adult heron from incubation to childhood, and the hardships, frustrations, bitterness and happiness experienced in the process of homesickness, leaving home, returning home and getting married are believed to be enough to catch the attention of the audience.

 

Aspect 3: Herons gather in groups of birds, and the picture of bird survival in the Yellow River wetland is first shown on the big screen.

When talking about the original intention of "Heron World", director Sun Ning said that herons had attracted the director’s attention as early as the filming of "Big Swan". At that time, some accompanying birds near the habitat of the big swan were photographed, and the heron was the most distinctive one.

It is reported that the film not only shows the living conditions of herons in an all-round way, but also shows other symbiotic birds living in the middle reaches of the Yellow River to varying degrees, including the well-known egrets and magpies, as well as bird species that are not familiar to the public, such as the Golden Orbiter, the Partridge, Dai Sheng, etc. All kinds of birds are different in shape, smart and beautiful, and full of vitality, which has formed a distinct personality with the heron group, the protagonist of the film. This is the first time in China and even in the world that the big screen presents the living conditions of wetland birds in the middle reaches of the Yellow River intuitively and comprehensively, which can be described as "a complete picture of regional bird survival"!

 

Aspect 4: Excellent panoramic sound production, brand-new audio-visual feast.


The film "Heron World" adopts panoramic sound technology for the first time, which is the first time among natural films in China. Dolby Panoramic Sound is a 3D surround sound technology published by Dolby Laboratories in April, 2012. This new technology can present the contents of 64 independent speakers and send up to 128 channels or objects at the same time. Panoramic sound breaks through the traditional concepts of 5.1 and 7.1 channels, and can present dynamic sound effects in combination with sound objects. Through the transformation of production source and playback, professional cinemas and home cinemas can realize 360 sound field, which is very close to "natural sound" and enhance the audience’s on-the-spot experience. When Heron World is officially released, the audience will feel the shocking audio-visual effect in the cinema.

 

Aspect 5: five years of ingenuity, has long been famous at home and abroad.

"Heron World" started shooting in 2015, which lasted for five years. Director Sun Ning took the shooting team to shoot on the cliffs, challenging the cold and hot summer, and the difficulty of shooting was self-evident. Director Sun Ning said that documentary people are especially like herons, and in order to make a satisfactory work, they must be able to endure loneliness. Heron is commonly known as "Laodeng". In order to catch a fish that can stand in one place for five or six hours, the filming team of Heron World sometimes works more than 15 hours a day in order to capture useful materials. Relying on the love of documentary creation, the material is accumulated bit by bit year by year until the story is formed. This is a dialogue between the creation of "old" and the nature of "old". And this story about maternal love and growth was awarded the honor of "special contribution" at the 47th International Emmy Awards Ceremony. The jury thinks that the film is beautiful in picture, complete in story, unique in structure, intelligent in audio-visual language and unique in China’s emotional characteristics. The recognition of "Heron World" by the jury shows that high-quality domestic natural films can also go abroad, gain a good reputation and make a sound internationally. Cultural self-confidence comes from our high-quality works. "Heron World" is awesome!

"As long as you don’t give up hope, all the hardships you encounter in life will eventually be repaid with beauty", which is the enlightenment of Heron World. On January 1, 2020, a "heron" is warm!
