As of 10:00 a.m. on October 3, the box office of the theme film "Chosin Lake" on the theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has exceeded the 1.1 billion mark, and the strong box office performance has set off a national movie boom on this National Day. The final heroic sacrifice of Lei Gong, a veteran of the Seventh Company, can be described as the biggest tear point in the film, and it is Hu Jun who plays Lei Gong, and he gives this role a rich human color with his film emperor-level performance. Recently, Hu Jun accepted an exclusive interview with the cover reporter, he said that "Chosin Lake" as a tribute to the "loveliest person" of the film masterpiece, he hopes that everyone cherishes the hard-won years of peace.
The hero "Lei Gong" has all the valuable qualities of the volunteer army
Lei Gong was the platoon leader of the artillery platoon of the Seventh Interspersed Company, the 17th soldier of this heroic company, and even more the "DingHai God Needle" of the entire company. When Wu Qianli, played by Wu Jing, first joined the army, Lei Gong let him grow all the way from a recruit as a master. Wu Wanli followed his brother's footsteps to join the volunteer army, and Qianli handed him over to Lei Gong to learn combat skills. The role played by Hu Jun is extremely solid and three-dimensional, and he has all the valuable qualities of the volunteer army: optimism, humility, bravery and wit.
Near the end of the film, the enemy plane dropped a marker bomb and used red smoke to navigate the follow-up bomber group, intending to eliminate the main force of our army. Seeing that the Brothers were about to be exposed to enemy fire, Lei Gong shouted, "I will send you back the logo bomb!" So he picked up the hot marker and rushed into a jeep, and as he drove, enemy shells kept bombarding him, his face was already charred, but he didn't stop the car.
In the rush of driving, Lei Gong's trembling and hoarse voice sang the folk song "Yimeng Mountain Minor" in his hometown shandong to calm his mind and relieve pain. In the end, the jeep was blown up, and Lei Gong's lower body was pressed under the car. "It hurts me!" He said. When his comrades arrived and joined forces to drag him out of the bottom of the car, he left everyone with his last words: "Don't leave me here alone." Seeing this scene of the hero's fall, many viewers burst into tears in the theater.
Created for the second time, Hu Jun personally designed the character characteristics
Hu Jun is a powerful male star in the mainland film and television circle, from Qiao Feng in "Tianlong Babu" to Xiang Yu in "Chu Han Fengyun", he has left us with too many tough guy images. In "Chosin Lake", he is not only a tough guy with an iron bone, but also a big brother who likes to "protect the calves". In order to make the image of "Lei Gong" more vivid, Hu Jun specially made some designs, such as letting the characters wear hearing aids and take cigarette bags. As the platoon leader of the Seven Company Artillery Platoon, "Lei Gong" suffered serious damage to his hearing, but in order to hear the instructions on the battlefield, the character had to wear a hearing aid, which reflected his battle-hardened side.
At the same time, "Lei Gong" also has a careful quality, such as using the shell casings found to make cigarette bags. A vivid image of a veteran jumped off the screen. Through the filming of "Chosin Lake", Hu Jun also had a deeper understanding of the war against the United States and Aid Korea, "I seem to have really experienced a war", how big is the equipment gap between the two sides of the battle? Why can the volunteers who eat frozen potatoes defeat the American troops who eat buffets? I believe that the audience can find the answer in this movie, "In fact, we just rely on a breath, a spirit, a faith."
Hu Jun also revealed that there are also many deleted clips in the movie, such as the scene where Lei Gong holds a belt in order to find Wanli to settle accounts, whipping Qianli and Yu Congrong, and many vivid clips, because the relationship between duration has been cut, so fans hope that these shots can appear in the director's cut version in the future.
Recalling his father, Hu's father was a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Hu Jun frankly said that his participation in "Chosin Lake" was influenced by his family, he was a child who grew up in the military dean, he had a military complex since he was a child, and his father was also a soldier in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Speaking of his father, Hu Jun was very moved, "My father is very military, very tall, very kind... It can be said that participating in this movie is my gift to my father. ”
It turned out that Hu Jun's father was actually one of the soldiers of the Chinese Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the old man had made a third-class meritorious service in the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and now, although Hu Jun's father has passed away, Hu Jun believes that his father must be very pleased to see his performance!
On September 21, on the Mid-Autumn Festival before the release of "Chosin Lake", Hu Jun sent a Microblog to remember his father. He said: "I remember my mother saying that he was only 18 years old when he participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He has carried the wounded, made third-class merits, sung songs for his comrades in the face of the wind and snow, and played single strings. At that time, he left his own blood-colored youth, no regrets. This year, I had the honor of participating in the movie "Chosin Lake". Through the character of Lei Gong, I felt the bravery and fearlessness of the volunteers on the battlefield, as if I relived the road they had traveled in the past. ”
Hu Jun also said: "It is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and my father has been away from me for two years. I am grateful to my father for giving me more profound resonance and understanding of the history of fighting against the United States and aiding Korea, and helping me build the strong soul and flesh and blood of "Lei Gong". Thank you "Chosin Lake" for making me understand the heaviness behind war and peace during the filming process... Hats off to our loveliest people! I hope that each of us will not forget the way forward, cherish and defend the present! ”
Interview
Cover News: I heard that your family has experienced the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, can you share it?
Hu Jun: When I was a child, my father told me that he once participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and he also won a third-class merit. He was a musician who went to the front lines to comfort the volunteer soldiers. He once carried the wounded off the front line and transported them back.
Cover News: When you first got the script, what were your thoughts on the role of Lei Gong?
Hu Jun: In fact, just after getting this script, I felt that the role of Lei Gong was very distinct. In the beginning, he was a very lecherous, a bit like a veteran oilman. In the script, Lei Gong is a non-smiling, very decisive person, he is very good at fighting, especially knows how to survive on the battlefield. But later, when I patted it, I would feel that Lei Gong must have a particularly cute place for him, don't just show this character smoothly, so that it is more real.
Cover News: How did you consider the second creation process?
Hu Jun: I asked the prop master to help me make a pipe with a bullet casing, and the appearance was designed by myself, and it was like an earpiece. Because Lei Gong was an artilleryman, and his left ear was injured, he could hardly hear the sound. In order to be able to better receive sound on the battlefield, I made a "small horn" to hang here, which I have checked in history books and materials, and I have indeed had this kind of thing. In my imagination, this thing was made by Lei Gong himself, and although Lei Gong looked very rough, he was actually clever.
Cover News: Lei Gong has fought all his life and has never been married, and he actually longs for family in his heart. Where do you think this gentleness of his comes from?
Hu Jun: In fact, no matter how strong a man himself is, he has a gentle side and a vision of a better life. Fighting a war seemed to him something he had to go through in his life. However, he is also very much looking forward to a better life in the future.
Cover News: What are the real hardships of shooting? How did you feel when shooting?
Hu Jun: In fact, the real hardship, you don't need to say too much. Because of filming this scene, everyone knows that they have to face the explosion point and face the explosion, although the guns and bullets are fake, but it also has a certain danger.
And then, the cold is not to mention. When I photographed the rocky town, I froze my entire face and body. But there is no way, you have to go through being an actor, in fact, there is nothing to say about this.
Cover News: In the character setting of the Seventh Company, everyone thinks that Lei Gong is a "bear", how do you understand?
Hu Jun: Lei Gong was the 17th soldier of the Seventh Company, the most senior, and Wu Baili and Wu Qianli were all brought out by him. It was equivalent to in front of Lei Gong's eyes, and he didn't know how many people of the Seventh Company had sacrificed. In the group of seven companies, no matter how old he is and how senior he is, Lei Gong is particularly concerned, so everyone calls him "Lei Daddy".
Lei Gong is very strong on the battlefield, and is a brave and cunning bear when facing the enemy. Moreover, the bear is very protective of calves, very loving and protective of his children, lei gong regards the warriors of the Seventh Company as his own children. Coupled with the fact that Lei Gong was big and big, walking in front of him was like a mountain.
