Yu Dong, CEO of Chinese film giant Bona Film Group, said at a festival summit about opportunities and challenges facing the film industry on Wednesday that the three films are scheduled to debut in summer 2021.
War epic Bingxue Changjinhe, which translates to Frozen Chosin Reservoir, takes place during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War (1950-53) and is scheduled to begin shooting in late October, said Yu.
The Battle of Chosin Reservoir was an important battle during the Korean War (1950-53). In 1950, China's People's Volunteer Army entered the northeastern part of North Korea and encircled and successfully attacked United Nations Command troops.
The battle became a turning point in the Korean War, laying the foundation for the final armistice negotiations.
Besides the three films by Bona Film Group, production of a historical drama, Kuaguoyalujiang, which roughly translates as "Across the Yalu River," began in August. Filming is scheduled to be completed in December and it will be aired soon after on CCTV-1 during prime time.
