Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong joined forces many years later
"Winter and lions" is after "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong have joined forces again after many years, attracting the attention of many fans, and have completed the full script and are scheduled to start at the end of 2021.
"Winter and the Lion" is produced by Zhejiang Wen Film, a listed company under Zhejiang Cultural Industry Investment Group, and the main creative team includes director Kang Honglei, screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, and Zhejiang Wen Film production team.
The project lasted 5 years from the initial idea to the completion of the script, and the relevant experts were invited to hold seminars many times in the early stage, and the planning, intention, theme, story, etc. of the project were discussed and studied many times.
The script of "Winter and the Lion" relies on historical facts to tell the story of how after the founding of New China in the middle of the last century, the international situation was strange and turbulent, the threat of war was thick and cloudy, and a certain "Seventh Steel Company" of our army went to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to carry out interspersed combat tasks.
The story of the great volunteer soldiers climbing the ice and lying in the snow, the protagonist Wu Wanli, his brother Wu Qianli, his comrades-in-arms, and other fighters, relying on the correct command of our party and our army, giving play to the spirit of collectivism, overcoming the many difficulties and obstacles on the battlefield, and with the flesh and blood and iron will that braved the cold, they defeated the well-equipped US army and finally won the final victory in the key battle.
As a war film showing the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and shaping the portraits of Chinese heroes, "Winter and the Lion" is highly valued by leaders and experts. In the context of the new era, "Winter and the Lion" recounts the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which undoubtedly has profound enlightening significance, as a grand narrative showing national cohesion and national stance, a declaration book for the Chinese people to stand tall in the east of the world after standing up, and an important milestone for the Chinese nation to move towards great rejuvenation.
Kang Honglei: This opportunity was won by me on my own initiative
"Wait, he didn't turn on the phone, the lights didn't come on!" 1, 2, 3 boot! Before the reporter interview began, Kang Honglei humorously "directed" the camera reporter.
Kang Honglei said that this opportunity to participate in this drama was won by him on his own initiative.
"Lan Xiaolong has been working hard for many years to make such a text, and I feel very excited after seeing it. This is really the best of the countless scripts I have watched in the past ten years, the storyline is compact, the characters are vivid, the intention is high, especially the interpretation of the Chinese army, it is really unique and unique. ”
Originally, Kang Honglei planned not to shoot war scenes for ten years.
"Because war scenes are very cumbersome and dangerous to shoot, sometimes there is a possibility of homogenization if you are not careful." But I was deeply moved by the script, so I took the initiative to ask for help. Coupled with the strong support of Zhejiang Wentou, it is very natural that our drama can enter the filming stage this year. ”
Kang Honglei said that through this drama, he hopes to tell everyone, especially young people, what this People's Liberation Army of New China under the leadership of the Communist Party won in the face of the industrialized Western army armed to the teeth. "We don't have aircraft cannons, we don't have atomic bombs, what do we rely on, in the ice and snow to beat the enemy back into the three or eight lines, this play will be very clearly explained." 」
Talking about the feeling of working with Lan Xiaolong after many years, Kang Honglei smiled and said: "It feels very familiar, and I want to laugh every time I see him." You see Teacher Lan looks like Voldemort, in fact, he is a writer with a fire in his heart, and every character in his pen seems to be a hanger and a stubborn, but in fact, the ideal and sense of responsibility exist in their hearts, far stronger than the people who put it on their lips but do not have it in their hearts. ”
The number of episodes of Winter and the Lion is currently set at 24. "This drama is one hundred percent winter, eighty-five percent exterior, ninety percent war. Therefore, its shooting difficulty may be unprecedented in Chinese TV dramas, and the test for creative personnel is also unprecedented. ”
"Come and see the young people, it will make your blood boil, it will make you fall deeply in love with the army that remains with you." Kang Honglei said.
Lan Xiaolong: "Winter and the Lion" is a soldier assault on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
"I am full of reverence for the war against the United States and aid to North Korea. So by chance, I took on this task and wrote this book. ”
Many people like the Steel Seven Company in "Soldier Assault", and Lan Xiaolong also said that he has a plan to create a "Steel Seven Company Universe".
"'Winter and the Lion' is a part of it, and I will have it later, writing the story of the modern army, and it is also a cooperation with Zhejiang Wentou." At present, the 180,000-word outline has been written, and I will start writing the script after the play is busy. ”
When creating "Winter and the Lion", Lan Xiaolong recalled a line in "Soldier Assault" that he particularly liked, that is, after the reorganization of the Seventh Steel Company, the company was left with Gao Cheng and Xu Sanduo, and Gao Cheng scolded Xu Sanduo once.
"Gao Cheng said do you understand the dignity of being a soldier?" He said that in every battle they fought, thousands of troops and horses were shouting victory, but the Seventh Company would not shout, the Seventh Company would just pack up the remains of their comrades-in-arms, bandage the wounds of their comrades-in-arms, and say that we are still alive and we still have to fight. I took this book at the time, and all I thought to myself was that I was going to write out that spirit. So in a way you can say that it is "Soldier Assault" on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. ”
Many fans who are familiar with Lan Xiaolong know that he likes to play games, so people often go to Weibo to shout and ask him to stop playing games and write a script.
In this regard, Lan Xiaolong said that playing games is very important for writing scripts, because games throw you a whole world view, and if you use the immersion of playing games to write a play, it will enhance your requirements for drama. "I just recommended Kang Honglei to play Battlefield 2, which is very good for his camera sense, can remind him of a lot of things, but he is computer-shaking."
After speaking, Lan Xiaolong himself smiled, "I admit that this is an excuse for playing the game." ”
For the drama "Winter and the Lion", Lan Xiaolong's expectation is that "Kang Honglei can shoot very hi, the audience can watch it very hi", "I don't want to define the central idea of this play, I hope the audience will summarize it after watching it." ”
