14 times landing on the island, 7 years of polishing the “Island Watcher” main creative team strives for perfection to convey the spirit of perseverance to the audience

Since its release, the film “The Island Watcher” produced by Bayi Film Studio and Happy Blue Ocean Film and Television Culture Group has received many praises. After 7 years of polishing and 14 visits to the island, behind the hard work of the film creators, they are only to restore the “model of the times” Wang Jicai and his wife’s 32-year life on the island.

The film selects classic fragments and flashing moments of Wang Jicai and his wife’s life on the island. In the contradictory entanglement of guard and walk, gain and loss, suffering and happiness, it shows the conflict of drama, conveys the emotional spirit, and portrays the character of the characters. The protagonist’s hesitation and hesitation in the early days of landing on the island, delivery in the storm, and the family Spring Festival Gala on the island, etc. plot stories that carefully express the love between husband and wife, father and son, and comradeship. Wang Jicai’s daughter, Wang Fan, said: “The movie highly restores many details in life, such as the scene where my parents catch crab cages on top of a rock. It reminds me that my father paid a lot for our family. I have very little love. I said a word, I said, “Dad, I think that island is more like your child”, and he replied to me, “Fan’er, you don’t understand when you are young. You will understand when you grow up, Dad. It’s your father, but at the same time he is an island guard and a sentry. I want to guard the island.'”

It is these emotional conflicts and real details in the film that arouse strong emotional resonance from the audience. On Father’s Day, Shi Yiyang, a freshman from Nanjing University of the Arts, walked into the theater with his father and watched “Island Watcher”. What impressed her most in the film was the scene in which Wang Jicai quarreled with his daughter Xiaobao. Shi Yiyang said: “Xiaobao sits in the back and his father sits in the front. They just ignore each other. My dad and I sit in different positions when quarreling. The director touches people through some details. This is a foreign movie. What can’t be done, because she understands our Chinese family relationship mode, so she can touch us.”

How to write a story that spans 32 years truthfully and accurately, and then extract the great spiritual characteristics from the ordinary, ordinary, and ordinary life of Morishima is a big challenge for the film screenwriter Ding Han. For this reason, she has visited the island three times, and the strong winds and waves, the light snow and the cold, the flowers and puppies on the island have all become the vivid material of her rich script. Ding Han said: “For example, how did the flagpole of the national flag go from a wooden flagpole to an aluminum alloy flagpole, including the island guard logs and wind lanterns they used. The island career is the essence of the story from the details.”

When it comes to the creation of “Island Guardian”, director Chen Li is deeply moved. During the preparation period, Chen Li went to the island many times, ate and lived with Wang Shihua, and experienced the life of “guarding the island” firsthand. She hopes to pass this perseverance to every audience through the film “Island Watcher”.

The efforts of the main creative team have been recognized by the audience. As of 2pm on June 20, the cumulative box office of “Island Watcher” has exceeded 27.33 million.

For many years, as a mainstream media, Jiangsu Radio and Television Station has been tracking and reporting on the advanced deeds of Comrade Wang Jicai. While doing a good job in news reports and special publicity, focus on promoting the film project “Island Guardian”, in the form of art, to further stimulate the forces of taking responsibility and striving forward in the new era.
