These big names are just passing by in a hurry in the movie, appearing in just a few seconds, and they don't even have lines. How much money does the producer have to pay for such a lavish lineup? This is not only a collective tribute to the actors, but also a look back at the unique phenomenon of cinema of that era.
The movie itself may not be loud, but what makes it special is that the faces that flash in front of the camera were once the top actors of that era. With such a lineup today, the actors' salaries alone have to be smashed 100 million, right?
The scene cuts to an enemy combat meeting in the movie, where there is a tall squad leader, his name is Ma Shida, who has played a role in "Youth in the War", and in "Guerrillas of the Plains", he is the witty scout Changqing. His appearance in the movie was only a few seconds, but the military uniform and his aura were enough to make people remember it vividly.
Then the camera turned, and we saw another familiar figure - Luo Tai. He played Ma Xiaofei in "Railway Guard", as did Duan Bin and Fang Hua, whose performances in "Railway Guard" and other old movies are unforgettable.
Zhang Hui, Ren Yi, Pu Ke... These actors, who have had wonderful performances in movies such as "Dong Cunrui" and "Visitors on the Iceberg", are all standing silently in the background here, with no lines, and even only their backs.
Zhang Chongxiao and Wang Jingfang, the two actors who have profound performances in "Visitors on the Iceberg" and "Silent Mountains", also rushed through the scenes in this movie. Chen Ge, Xu Liankai and Pang Xueqin, each of them have the ability to be independent, but in this movie, they are like easter eggs, which make people appear unexpectedly, and then quickly disappear from the picture.
Yang Qitian's role in this movie may be a little special, he was the actor of Zhi Zhenbiao in "Dong Cunrui", a character with deep friendship. His appearance seems to pay tribute to his former comrades.
But in this movie, they are only supporting roles, not even supporting roles, just a group of tricks. is such a group of tricks, everyone is a big name at the time, and they all have their own glorious moments.
This movie doesn't tell us the answer, but it gives us unlimited room for imagination. Behind every trick, there is an unknown history, and there is a story of its own.
Just like Ma Shida, he is a big squad leader in "Youth in War" and a scout Changqing in "Guerrillas of the Plains". These two characters, one is famous in the history of cinema, and the other is almost forgotten in the long river of history. But no matter which role it is, he interprets it in his own way and gives it life with his acting skills.
Luo Tai, Duan Bin, and Fang Hua are the same. They have played different roles in different movies, good or evil, happy or sad. Every role is a challenge, an attempt. In this movie, although they have no lines, or even a clear role positioning, their appearance is a continuation of the past and a review of their career as actors.
Just like Li Jie, he plays a famous enemy brigade commander in this movie, which is a character with a story. Although he is not a dragon set, his appearance is a tribute to those nameless dragon sets, and a kind of respect for those who have paid silently in history.
This is not only a nostalgia for the past, but also an expectation for the future. Because in the world of movies, every character has the potential to become the protagonist, and everyone has the potential to become a star.
