The movie "Chosin Lake", which has been released for 12 days, is currently unabated in popularity, and the completion of the 5 billion box office target is just around the corner.
Jimu News reporter learned that Lan Xiaolong, the screenwriter of "Changjin Lake", is currently preparing to shoot a new drama "Winter and Lion" with the famous director Kang Honglei, which is also the third cooperation between the two after "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment".
Judging from the synopsis of the story previously filed in "Winter and the Lion", the script of the drama and the movie "Chosin Lake" is "born of a mother", which is about the life and death tests experienced by Wu Qianli, wu Wanli brothers and officers and men of the Seventh Company in the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The unfinished stories in "Chosin Lake" may be in this TV series.
Kang Honglei wanted to shoot three blows up the Watergate Bridge
Audiences who have watched "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" will recognize the status of the famous screenwriter Lan Xiaolong in the field of military themes, even after 15 years, the audience can still remember the words of "do not abandon and do not give up" of many soldiers.
In the promotional activities of the movie "Chosin Lake", almost all the main creators of the film mentioned that they were moved by the 130,000-word script created by Lan Xiaolong, and Wu Jing confessed that he cried several times when reading the script, and finally decided to join the film despite his leg injury. But as the main screenwriter of "Chosin Lake", Lan Xiaolong has not recently participated in the film's promotional activities, but has been busy preparing a new work "Winter and Lions" with his old partner Kang Honglei.
Although "Winter and the Lion" has nothing to do with the name of "Chosin Lake", the literary mother of both works is Lan Xiaolong's novel "Winter and the Lion".
The story synopsis of the TV series "Winter and the Lion" filed in 2020 shows that the drama is set in 1950, and the protagonist of the story is Wu Qianli, the commander of the seventh reconnaissance company of a certain army, who died unfortunately in the Battle of Huaihai, and Qianli returned to his hometown with his brother's ashes, while his younger brother Wu Wanli has been staying at home, "stubborn and uneducated, harming the fishing village neighborhood". In order to take his brother on the right path, Qianli returned to the army with thousands of miles, but it coincided with the launch of the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the second half of the story synopsis of "Winter and the Lion", Wu Wanli becomes the protagonist, he grows up in battle, and with only 37 remaining comrades of the Seventh Company, he completes the feat of "three explosions of the Watergate Bridge". At the end of the story, Wu Qianli sacrificed, and Wu Wanli grew into a truly responsible warrior under the guidance of his brother all the way, rebuilding the "Steel Seven Company" with a promise to his brother.
From the plot point of view, "Winter and the Lion" tells the full version of the story of "Chosin Lake" and its sequel movie "Watergate Bridge". Director Kang Honglei also confirmed in an interview with Jimu News reporter on October 11 that he is currently preparing the series "Winter and the Lion", but the specific plot, actors and other details are not suitable for publication.
The "Seven Links of Steel" universe has one more ring
Although the filming of "Winter and the Lion" was later than that of "Chosin Lake", the drama was completed as early as 2020. After the release of "Chosin Lake", many viewers were curious about what he would look like if Lan Xiaolong's script was given to Kang Honglei. This curiosity is about to reveal the answer through "Winter and the Lion".
The audience habitually binds Lan Xiaolong and Kang Honglei, which stems from the fact that the two cooperated in "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" were "sealed gods" by drama fans, believing that this was the king of the military-themed TV series. The past and old things that were exchanged in the two dramas were also ridiculed by fans as the "Steel Seven Company" universe. What makes fans' blood boil even more is that in the movie "Chosin Lake", Wu Wanli, played by Yi Qianxi, shouted out his seven company numbers at the company entry ceremony, which immediately reminded everyone of the company number in "Soldier Assault", and then lamented the sacrifice and inheritance of the "Steel Seventh Company" all the way.
It is reported that "Winter and the Lion" recently held an internal seminar to determine that the drama will start filming at the end of this year, tentatively scheduled for 24 episodes. Kang Honglei, who once said that "ten years will not make a war film", admitted at the meeting that he could not refuse Lan Xiaolong's script, "The difficulty of shooting this drama may be unprecedented in Chinese TV dramas, and the test for creative personnel is also unprecedented." ”
The movie "Chosin Lake" chose Wu Jing and Yi Qianxi to play the two brothers Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli, and the performance of the two actors has also been recognized by the vast majority of the audience, and has also created a lot of pressure on the casting of the TV series "Winter and the Lion". "Winter and lion" will choose which two actors to pick the beam, it is not yet known, and as a screenwriter, Lan Xiaolong has revealed that he most prefers Mei Sheng and Lei Gong in the story of "Winter and the Lion", that is, the roles played by Zhu Yawen and Hu Jun in the movie "Changjin Lake".
The broadcast of "Soldier Assault" in that year won the popularity of Wang Baoqiang, Duan Yihong, Zhang Guoqiang and a number of powerful actors, and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" made Zhang Yi's acting skills more people see, which all shows the vision of Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong in casting. Netizens who learned that the "Conlan" group started again are currently gearing up, waiting to see which tough guy actors they will win again.
