What kind of theme can break through the aesthetic changes of the times and always have the right to speak in domestic dramas and domestic blockbusters?
There is no doubt that the theme of war is the eternal "big brother".
From "Wolf Warrior" and "Eight Hundred" to "Operation Red Sea" and "Changjin Lake", in the film market, there are always war themes that cater to the main theme.
And this kind of theme has strict requirements for the production team and cast.
Including the scale of the plot, the war theme can always stand out from the same works, and once it becomes popular, it is very likely to "leave a name in history".
At the same time, because of the double stimulation of visual and auditory senses and the large space for actors to play, this kind of theme is also the darling of the film industry.
Now that the national first-class screenwriter Liu Heping has made a move, the film market will have another eye-catching war blockbuster.
"Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" is scheduled to be released nationwide on June 28, and this blockbuster that took nearly two years is finally going to meet the audience!
From "Yongzheng Dynasty" to "Li Wei as an Official" to "No War in Peking", this screenwriter who won the soft gold medal at the TV series award finally began to "rectify" the film industry.
The yellow sand buries the bones, and guards Hengyang
"Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" is based on the 1944 Battle of Hengyang, telling the story of the Hengyang Guards with less than 18,000 troops, under the premise that the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, using human flesh as a shield, defending the city alone, and defending Hengyang.
When the ammunition and food were exhausted, he still held on to Hengyang for 47 days, delaying the conspiracy of the Japanese army, leading to the fall of the cabinet of Hideki Tojo, and this battle has become a battle example comparable to any other battle in the entire history of World War II.
"Hengyang is the cemetery of our Tenth Army and 18,000 soldiers."
"Where's the reinforcements?" "Just hit the last man."
In the film, just two sentences brought tears to my eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
As soon as the trailer opens, under the old tone, the artillery fire is in the sky, the black smoke is filled, and under the ruins, the officers and men of our army stick to resist the enemy.
At the end of the war, there were fellow migrant workers and soldiers of the 10th Army, who stuck to Hengyang, just to delay time and crush the Japanese army's plot.
This battle was the victory of the unsung heroes, who created a miracle, in the rain of bullets, with one enemy and one hundred, never took a step back.
In the face of the enemy's gas bombs and guns, our soldiers bravely charged, with their bodies as shields, flesh and blood to forge walls, with the determination to die, one by one, two to kill a pair.
Accompanied by the roar of artillery fire, I heard the soldiers crying out hoarsely, "Which brother told me how many days we have been on guard?" ”。
In the picture, it is the soldiers of our army who are facing the enemy's flat ground explosion missiles with round eyes, and in the black and white eyes, there is shock and fear, and the cruelty of the war goes straight to the hearts of the people and shakes the soul.
In the rainstorm, the leaders saluted the soldiers with mournful expressions, and the audience still seemed to be able to smell the disgusting smell of gunsmoke and blood on the battlefield.
It can be said that the film "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" has excellent texture, a touching story, and watching the trailer, the pace is fast, and the plot is not delayed.
There are no meaningless long-shot sacrifice clips, just the bloody feeling of more than 18,000 soldiers fighting bloodily. It seems that this summer, the film market is going to be "earthquake", and war films are going to "stand up".
The powerful actors are too amazing
In addition to the trailer that thrilled the audience, the actors in the movie also surprised the audience.
The first place, Wang Jinsong.
Wang Jinsong, a national first-class actor, is no stranger to the audience. In war dramas such as "No War in Peking" and "The Great Battle", Wang Jinsong's performance can be called a classic.
In the film "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", Wang Jinsong will play the role of Liu Biao, who is a ruthless person when he hears the name, and in the trailer, he has a hideous expression, holding the cart forward bravely, and his mouth seems to shout "kill".
Only one clip can't help but make people teary-eyed, Wang Jinsong's performance is too mellow, at this stage, there is no role he can't take, the character has three points of style that can make Wang Jinsong play seven points, and his acting skills are absolutely stable.
second place, Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei, who won the Magnolia Best Actor for "The Awakening Age", is not the first time to appear on the big screen, in films such as "The Great Cause of the Army", "On the Cliff", "Solid as a Rock", Yu Hewei's acting skills have been recognized by the audience.
In the movie "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", Yu Hewei played Fang Xianjue, as the leader of the Hengyang army, Fang Xianjue stood on the stage to boost morale, but he actually had no confidence in his heart.
Even so, Fang Xianjue still told the soldiers with a firm look in his eyes that he would stick to Hengyang for ten days and drag the time back.
I don't know if there is a rivalry between Yu Hewei and Wang Jinsong in the film, and I am looking forward to it.
third place, Wan Qian.
Back then, a "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" let the audience see the neat Enron, and then in film and television dramas such as "Dad", "County Party Committee Compound", "Stalker", Wan Qian contributed outstanding performances.
In the movie "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", Wan Qian played the role of Gu Zhuyun, in the trailer, Gu Zhuyun looked at the buzzing missile planes in the sky, with tears in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words, but he was finally buried in his heart.
Wan Qian is keen to challenge different roles, no matter what kind of characters come to her hands, she can immediately "live" them.
This time I participated in "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", and my acting skills are not a problem, but whether she can be brilliant depends on whether Wan Qian can snatch the drama from the hands of all actors.
Fourth, Hu Yajie.
National first-class actor Hu Yajie, in "Armageddon", he played Fan Hanjie with a vivid image, and the emotional outburst scene was very infectious, with a strong sense of substitution.
Joining "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" this time, although I don't know what kind of role Hu Yajie will play, I definitely don't have to worry about acting.
fifth, Li Guangjie.
Li Guangjie, who has had wonderful performances in film and television dramas such as "The Wandering Earth", "The Wind Blows in the Summer", and "The Years of the Great River", also came.
He played the role of Zeng Jing in the film "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", in the stills, he raised his knife with a bloody face to face the enemy, his eyes were tired with perseverance, and he had a strong sense of faith, it seems that this is a character with strong tears.
In addition, "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" also invited Yang Yang, Yin Fang, Tan Kai, Cao Lei and other powerful actors to come to help, and they looked forward to it.
epilogue
Today's domestic movies mostly look at the box office appeal of the actors in the lineup, and Wu Jing, Shen Teng and others have become the sought-after actors scheduled by the director.
And "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" did not choose these movie celebrities who are familiar to the audience, but chose powerful actors who are like fish in water in film and television dramas, and made a great breakthrough.
And in the film, many of the images are full of impact and exceed my expectations. However, I believe that the audience can have some thoughts after watching the movie and walking out of the theater.
It should be pointed out that film is a kind of artistic creation in the final analysis, and we cannot expect a film to reproduce history without leakage, but the significance of the film lies in the meaning and spirit behind the war of the times.
When the truth of film history and the truth of art are perfectly combined, it constitutes a force that transcends time and space, which makes me feel like I am there, see the magnificence of the sparks, and feel the surging blood of the battle for the founding of the country.
And the filming of this movie also hopes that more young people will understand this history.
It is precisely because of the sacrifices of the martyrs that this generation of young people has a happy and stable life.
So on June 28th, let's walk into the theater together and experience it again, what kind of indestructible military soul is burning in the beacon fire?
To this day, we still look forward to it and believe in it, and it will continue to burn and burn forever.
