Preface
On May 14th, another big domestic movie was officially announced, and it was really shocking to watch the trailer, with the sentence "Where are there still reinforcements, just hit the last person".
This line heard in the trailer brought tears to many people's eyes, it is the upcoming "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", which is an anti-Japanese war film.
From preparation to finalization, it has always been concerned by the audience, so, what is wonderful about this movie?
The official announcement is finalized
This is a very shocking movie, called "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow".
Just by listening to the name, you can know that this movie must be a hit.
It seems that the film and television industry has not had a new anti-Japanese war film for a long time, and the most classic is "Changjin Lake".
Many classic scenes in the film have always attracted the audience, and it is still shocking to watch it now.
Since "Changjin Lake", there has been no anti-Japanese war film that can surpass this classic.
Now, it's here!
Chief director Liu Heping is about to meet you with his new work "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow".
It can be said that it is much more shocking than "Changjin Lake", because it is the first movie to restore this battle with a panoramic view.
The whole process was filmed in Hengyang, and the main focus was to restore the most realistic scene to the audience.
The director himself is a native of Hengyang, and he told us that Hengyang was originally called "Little Shanghai" by everyone.
But because of the defense of Hengyang in 1944, the prosperity of the entire city was all destroyed.
This is a very regrettable question, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Hengyang was rated as the only "Anti-Japanese War Memorial City" in the country.
Many people may not know this, but he has wanted to shoot this story in his own way since he was a child.
Because of this battle to defend Hengyang, all Hengyang people are very emotional.
This battle can be called a miracle, a miracle in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Liu Heping, as a famous director in China, has long wanted to film this battle.
But for various reasons, it has not been realized.
Through his efforts, he has really brought this historical story to more people.
Many people were excited to learn that it was really going to be filmed, and it also made this film get a lot of attention before it was released.
So, how much pounds does this film weigh?
It's coming
During the filming period, the film was listed as the "14th Five-Year Plan Key Film Project" by the Hunan Provincial Propaganda Department, and the Hengyang Municipal Government was listed as the "14th Five-Year Plan Key Cultural Construction Project".
With such a pomp, almost no electricity can surpass it, right?

From the script to the shooting, it took several years of preparation to bring such a true story to the screen.
During the preparation period, the director invested more than 500 million, and more than 2,000 people participated in this film.
Now it's just a trailer that fills the screen.
What a May Day movie, it's not worth mentioning at all in front of it.
This great "nameless" battle kept our army in hold for 47 days.
The number of 47 days may seem short and passes quickly.
But for our army at that time, 47 days was already their limit, and the army used its maximum limit to hold on for 47 days.
You know, at that time, our army, food and other things were not sufficient.
Even the 10th Army, which held out, had only 17,000 men, and the local people numbered 4,000.
But the enemy army has a full 110,000 men, and in such a disparity in strength, our hero can hold out for 47 days.
When our reinforcements were delayed, our army suffered 16,000 casualties, but the enemy suffered 48,000 casualties.
These figures can make us look proud and proud, and the people of Hengyang have also made sacrifices for this battle.
Even if we don't win in the end, we are still glorious in defeat.
In this war, we let Japan know our strength, which belongs to the spirit of the Chinese.
They are all our heroes, using their bodies to protect our homeland.
But many people don't know about this war, and now the director has moved it to the screen so that more people can remember it.
It is precisely because of the very realistic restoration of this war that many pictures are very beautiful......
The reality of the picture
In order to make the scene more realistic, the director found a lot of old photos and restored the scene as much as possible.
The director didn't embellish the story very much, and many of the scenes were indeed a bit bloody.
But this is what our heroes really faced during the Anti-Japanese War.
The blood left on their bodies makes people feel really uncomfortable to see.
Because of this war, the originally prosperous city has become a pile of ruins......
We don't have enough weapons, and a lot of the time we need to use heroes in hand-to-hand combat.
The film has a lot of close-ups and dubbing, and it is very well handled.
can make the audience participate in the plot well, and after watching the trailer, there is really a suffocating heartache.
All the big names who filmed this work were big names, but none of them had the halo of the protagonist.
The shots that should be given will be given, and there is no case where the shots are given deliberately.
I believe that on the day of the release, when everyone watches the movie, they will be shocked and moved by the story.
The trailer can be so shocking, let alone the feature film, looking forward to the day it will be released.
The director did not shoot this work to make money.
Because from the video posted by Hengyang Cultural Tourism, we can see that the director said that three days before the release, Hengyang will be screened for free!
It is for the people of Hengyang who sacrificed for this battle in the past few years, and it is also to thank the people of Hengyang who supported them for the right to shoot this movie.
The people of Hengyang expressed their full support for the filming of his film.
The director is a grateful person, and we can also see that he is not here to make money.
However, this work now seems to be excellent in all aspects.
It is believed that its box office will be higher than that of "Changjin Lake", which has a box office of 5.77 billion yuan.
After it was released, I felt that it would have a box office of at least 6 billion and beat "Changjin Lake".
After all, who can not love such a real anti-Japanese war blockbuster?
epilogue
This movie is very good, let us know the most real scene of the Anti-Japanese War, I believe it will be liked by everyone after the release, you can look forward to it.
If you are interested, you can go to the cinema on June 28th!
