The film is based on the real events of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control struggle, with Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital as the core story background, taking into account Wuhan tongji hospital, Wuhan pulmonary hospital, wuhan union hospital, Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital), Huoshenshan Hospital, Prevention and Control Department Hospital and other brother units, and taking Wuhan medical staff and medical teams from various provinces and cities across the country as prototypes, making a panoramic record of the magnificent and arduous anti-epidemic struggle.
Producer tells the source of inspiration.
Yu Dong, chief producer of the film Chinese Doctors and chairman of Bona Film Group, revealed that the earliest idea of filming Chinese Doctors started with a photo of Zhong Nanshan taking a train to Wuhan to fight the epidemic. "The medical teams from all over Hubei set out and the doctors in Wuhan fought in the front line, which made us particularly creative. After discussing with Director Liu Weiqiang during the Spring Festival, I took the initiative to invite the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department and the State Film Bureau, hoping to create this theme. "
To this end, Bona Film Group reconvened the original crew of the film Captain, and in April 2020, after lifting the control measures of the Han-Hubei passage in Wuhan, led the creative team to the hospital in Wuhan for data collection. When visiting Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, everyone was moved by the story that happened here, and finally decided to focus on Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, the eye of the epidemic storm, and slowly create a magnificent picture of epidemic prevention.
