The Chinese film group Huayi Brothers premiered its latest production Tangshan Earthquake at an outdoor venue in Tangshan. The movie reflects the devastation caused by the earthquake 34 years ago. With a width of almost 33 meters, the screen used for this event was 10 meters wider than an Imax screen, making it the largest screen in the world.
Zhonglei Wang, CEO of Huayi Brothers says, “Tangshan Earthquake bears great significance for the Chinese people, in particular for the citizens of Tangshan. We chose Tangshan as the location of our premiere, because the film shows the inspirational moral character of the people of Tangshan. We hope that their resilience and perseverance will serve as an example for the whole nation.”
“This is why we selected Barco, since only Barco's ultra-bright DP2K-32B solution could meet the expectation of broadcasting the movie live to ten thousand viewers. Additionally, Barco's high-performance projectors assured the audience a first-class viewing experience through consistent graphics, color contrast and vivid imaging.”
The event incorporated two Barco DP2K-32B digital projectors.
After the premiere, many members of the audience commented that it was the first time they had watched a movie on such a huge screen, along with thousands of other people. They also reported that being able to experience something so true to reality had affected them deeply. The true-to-life visual effects on the ultra-wide screen touched the hearts of many.
Barco's managing director in China, Yan Fei says, “As Tangshan Earthquake was one of the most anticipated movies this year, Huayi Brothers had specially tailored a movie premiere for ten thousand people. This premiere carries great meaning, not only for Tangshan citizens but also for all Chinese. To ensure that the movie could depict the shocking scenes that took place 34 years ago, we were the first in the industry to introduce the DP2K-32B digital projector, thus allowing the Chinese audience to visualize the level of destruction brought about by the earthquake.”
“We are honored to announce that the outstanding performance of the Barco DP2K-32B at the premiere has increased our potential and our expertise in the area of Digital Cinema, and that this has strengthened Barco's leading position on the Chinese digital projection market.”
