In order to truly reproduce the scene at that time, the famous production designer Sun Yongyin designed three scenes of earthquake ruins for the play. As for the scene of the earthquake in the play, it was completed by the famous stunt director Hao Bing. Sun Yongyin introduced the scene of the play to the reporter: "The lovelorn love in Tangshan is going to be filmed."
Into a Hollywood disaster TV series, these ruins turned out to be an abandoned fertilizer plant. We carried out directional blasting on the buildings here, some with corners and some with faces, forming the basic framework of the buildings after the earthquake. In addition, we took location shots in the well-preserved Tangshan South Station and other places, and built a realistic model according to the actual size of these buildings at the ratio of 1∶6, and deliberately left broken bricks, powder and so on. To ensure the real effect when it collapses. The computer special effects lens of this TV series reaches 40 minutes, and the effect is close to the level of Hollywood blockbusters. "
Through three stages: before the earthquake, during the epicenter and after the earthquake, The Lost Love in Tangshan tells the story of the protagonist, Mayor Tangshan, who still sticks to his post, actively rescues the wounded and escorts orphans to live in other places ... The crew invited the famous actor Li to play the mayor of Tangshan, and the performance was quite in place and touching. For example, in the first scene, the mayor played by Li wears an old military uniform and walks slowly with a sad face on crutches. Standing in the ruins, he said to hundreds of orphans with tears in his eyes: "1July 28th, 976, we will never forget this day, which is the anniversary of our sacrifice in Tangshan. Tangshan is indestructible! You are the future of Tangshan! Now our conditions can't support you. When the conditions are good, I will definitely take you back. Tangshan will always be your home. " His voice did not fall, and he was "stunned" by the scene because of excitement. Li's affectionate performance and grief-stricken lines deeply touched everyone, and the performance was in place.
