On July 27, the 40-episode Red War drama "Flying Tigers Rescue" landed on Hubei Satellite TV's Yangtze River Theater, broadcasting two episodes every night. The drama is jointly produced by Beijing Changjiang Culture Co., Ltd., Yili Changjiang Rongyi hesheng Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Wuhan Tianjiu Cultural Development Co., Ltd., Beijing Sister Alliance Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., Haydn self-written and self-directed, and Li Mengnan, Zheng Xiaoning, Du Xudong and many other powerful actors joined. At the time of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, the broadcast of the drama can be described as a timely occasion.
Based on the screenwriter's key play "Flying Tigers Forced To Land on Taihang Mountain", "Flying Tigers Rescue" is based on the historical facts of the American Flying Tigers' anti-Japanese resistance to China during World War II, telling the story of the 1944 US bombers in the operation against the enemy, forced to land in the Taihang Mountain area, the Japanese army wantonly hunted down the surviving Flying Tigers and the confidential documents they carried, led by Bao Weiguo (Li Mengnan), Zuo Zhongliang (Haydn), Chu Shanhu (Zheng Xiaoning), launched a series of rescue stories.
The arduous anti-aggression struggle of the Chinese people is an important part of the world anti-fascist war. The American Flying Tigers made great contributions to helping chinese soldiers and civilians win the victory of the War of Resistance, and this precious memory shines in the long river of history. This history has also been repeatedly interpreted in various literary and artistic works, always alerting future generations, remembering history and cherishing peace.
Respect history and do not forget the original intention to create a high-quality war drama
A series of acclaimed war dramas such as "The Line of Fire" and "I Am the Legend of Zhao" have laid the industry status of "Made in Haydn". Born in the army compound and growing up watching the shining red star of the Bayi Studio, Haydn was born with a "military complex": "The theme of the War of Resistance is an eternal topic, the real War of Resistance Against Japan is actually 14 years, what the Chinese people have experienced, every Chinese in that period of history should not be forgotten." "The times have changed again, and the original intention has not changed." The theme of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression aims to promote the spirit of patriotism and warn future generations, and it should always be a serious creation.
Serious creative spirit is a necessary condition for creating high-quality war dramas. The historical fact of "Rescue the Flying Tigers" has been repeatedly interpreted in many film and television works, and the "Flying Tigers Rescue" created in a documentary style is unique with its solid plot, "atypical" character settings, and magnificent war scenes. In the autumn of 1944, as World War II drew to a close, fascist forces were at the end of their mighty powers. Standing at an important turning point in history, China, as an important battlefield in the world's anti-Sith war, has multiple forces intertwined in the game. Around the rescue of the American Flying Tigers, people of different faiths ran for peace. The documentary style is also reflected in the "atypical" character setting, there is no "personal hero" and "tall and complete" character image, the character personality with the development of the plot, or change or profound, the truth has layers, plump and flesh. Haydn, a director who is deeply influenced by American blockbusters, said that the large and varied war scenes in the play will be a major attraction for audiences. In the performance of the war scene, the elements of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Saving Private Ryan" are integrated, and the picture is magnificent and intense. Indirectly interspersed with aesthetic transnational love, righteous thin cloud sky brotherhood and other emotional clues are deeply moving, coupled with spying, undercover plots run through it, reversal and brain burning continuously, and it is full of excitement.
Multinational actors gathered to join the low-key acting school
As a "blockbuster" with "international style", "Flying Tigers Rescue" was joined by a total of 7 foreign actors including Alexander Zerrath and Cedric Beugre. Interestingly, almost all of these 7 actors are from different countries. Director Haydn laughed and said: "Although the play is to rescue the American Flying Tigers, none of our foreign actors are Americans. They come from Canada, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Spain, and Côte d'Ivoire, so they should rescue the 'multinational force'! ”
As the plot unfolds, around the rescue of the Flying Tigers, various anti-war heroes have appeared one after another. One of the soul characters in the play, Bao Weiguo, the leader of the Eighth Road Military Rescue Detachment, is played by Li Mengnan, a famous powerful actor of the National Drama Theatre. Bao Weiguo (Li Mengnan) has a stubborn personality and rich experience in fighting against the enemy, and is nicknamed "Bud Rice Land" and "Old Corn". The seemingly random "nickname setting" actually has far-reaching implications: it not only highlights the character of the character, but also is simple and grounded, and the anti-"protagonist halo" style character setting closes the distance between the character and the audience. Li Mengnan has had a brilliant performance in many military and anti-war film and television dramas such as "Militia Ge Er Egg" and "Rouge", and this time he plays the witty and humorous and funny "Bud Rice Land" in the play, which can be described as handy.
The "Flying Tigers Rescue" actor team has a "low-key" acting school, and another main creator is also a "shoulder handle of the acting world" - Zheng Xiaoning. With the acting skills of a thousand people, Zheng Xiaoningjin is the upright and kind deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in "The Avenue is Like Heaven", and the retired is the fierce Qiu Shan Jing in the center of "My Father is Undercover"; the honest and upright Liu Bowen in "Zhu Yuanzhang" can be seen as the scheming Yuwen Hu in "Lanling King". In "Flying Tiger Rescue", Zheng Xiaoning played the chu family village boss Chu Shanhu, who is also good and evil, with rich character levels.
Wrapped up in war and fate, from a bandit leader who endured betrayal and had a grudge, he gradually transformed into a current national salvation hero of the great righteousness of the country, Zheng Xiaoning added many details, and showed his "eye" skills between his hands and feet.
In this war drama in which various forces fiercely resist, the emotional drama caused by Zuo Yun played by Song Kana is also very brilliant in the fierce man drama, making the whole drama more abundant and complete. Zuo Yun (song Kana) can be called the "IQ bearer" of the whole drama, which is not only a bridge of communication between China and the United States, but also staged a "spy shadow" with another female character, Gu Yumeng (Xi Xue), and the two sisters are spies and counter-spies, and their identities are confused.
Unveiling the history of the Flying Tigers recreates the epic of the War II war
The Flying Tigers, a legendary force, were a mercenary Air Force force made up of highly paid American flyers during World War II. The American Flying Tigers fought against the Japanese army in China, Burma and other places, and during the period of aid to China, they became the backbone of the Air Force over China that could contain the Japanese army.
"Flying Tigers Rescue" recreates a period of war-torn years, huge war scenes, and triggers reflection on the war. Justice will be late, but it will never be absent, and peace is the common aspiration of people all over the world. In the play, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, represented by the figures of Bao Weiguo and other characters, cut through thorns and thorns for the Chinese and people who had been plagued by the war, and fully demonstrated the fearless spirit of the Chinese soldiers under the leadership of the Communist Party of China to "sacrifice more for the sake of having the courage to sacrifice more and dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the new heavens." At the same time, "The Great Rescue of the Flying Tigers" also strives to interpret the war from the perspective of human nature, people of different nationalities and different faiths, family, friendship and love are intertwined, and they are full of anger and intestines, reproducing the "love and redemption" in the beacon years.
The real war drama does not use the destruction of the three views as a gimmick, does not demonize the enemy, and most importantly, does not preach war. "Flying Tigers Rescue" brings us the cherishing of peace and the admiration of martyrs. From July 27th, every night at 19:30, lock the Hubei Satellite TV Yangtze River Theater, "Flying Tigers Rescue" iron blood war!
