The box office of "Chosin Lake" has exceeded 2.2 billion, and the total box office is expected to exceed 5.1 billion.
Reproducing the magnificent and singable history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the audience of "Chosin Lake" has a huge age span, the elderly with silver hairs helping each other into the cinema, and parents have also taken sensible children to receive patriotic education.
Prior to this, Mu tou Tao has interpreted "Chosin Lake" from the three dimensions of actor dedication, acting skills and hidden details, and this time it is necessary to write from the perspective of examining historical archetypes, and the reality is more tear-inducing and more bloody than the movie.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > Yang Gensi</h1>
At the end of "Chosin Lake", the story of the special hero Yang Gensi is presented:
At the end of November 1950, Yang Gensi led a platoon of more than 30 soldiers to hold their positions, and in the extremely cold weather of minus 40 degrees, Yang Gensi and his comrades repelled the attack of the American army 8 times a day and a night, and fought until he was left alone.
Exhausted, Yang Gensi picked up the explosives package and died with dozens of enemies, dying at the age of 28.
Playing Yang Gensi is Ou Hao, who has acted in many main theme movies in recent years, although the role is not much, but his performance is in place.
Moreover, Ou Hao and Yang Gensi himself really have a little bit of a similarity.
In reality, Yang Gensi's comrades were not all killed, and he ordered a wounded man to retreat with the company's machine guns.
Before participating in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Gensi was already a combat hero, and when he went to the front, he and his comrades-in-arms said the "three disbelieves" that have been passed down to future generations.
Yang Gensi's sacrifice of life and death has not only become a nightmare for the US military, but also a model for the volunteer army. In the subsequent Counterattack of Linqingjiang, 38 Yang Gensi-style heroes emerged, and there were also 68 YangGensi-style heroes in the Battle of Shangganling.
After Huang Jiguang's sacrifice, his comrades found Yang Gensi's comic strip in his bag.
It is precisely because there are countless former servants and successors of Yang Gensi that we can win the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Some viewers feel that it is a pity that Yang Gensi's story only appears at the end of "Chosin Lake", and it can be made into a movie.
In fact, in the history of Chinese cinema, there is already a film about Yang Gensi's deeds, and this movie can be called a popular population, and Wang Cheng in "Heroes and Children" is based on Yang Gensi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" > Mao Anying</h1>
In "Chosin Lake", Huang Xuan adopted a very restrained performance method when shaping the historical figure of Mao Anying.
In just a few scenes, the character of Mao Anying was erected:
Mao Anying took the initiative to ask Peng Dehuai to go to the battlefield, and the chairman (Tang Guoqiang) decided to fulfill his son;
Mao Anying hid his name and followed Peng Dehuai as Secretary Liu.
After the Seventh Company successfully transported the radio to the headquarters, Mao Anying lent the pen to Wu Wanli (Yi Qianxi) for inspection, and informed the company commander Wu Qianli (Wu Jing) of the news that he was going to march immediately.
Wu Qianli asked when to leave, Mao Anying was silent, and Wu Qianli immediately understood.
In the bombing of the US army, Mao Anying died in order to save an important map, and the chairman who lost his beloved son paced in the snow...
In history, Mao Anying went to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea a year after his marriage, and this is a group photo of him and his lover Liu Siqi, which can be seen that Huang Xuan and Mao Anying, who has a clear eyebrow, are indeed somewhat similar.
In 1 month and 3 days after entering the DPRK, Mao Anying sacrificed, the country was in trouble, and he stepped forward, and his story should be remembered by more posterity.

The three battalion commanders played by Duan Yihong also have corresponding historical prototypes.
In the battle of "Chosin Lake", Tanzi fought with several American troops to the death, and after blowing up the fire points of the American troops, he stuffed the compressed biscuits into his mouth, overlooking the tragic battlefield, his mouth was full of food, and his eyes were full of tears...
The prototype of the scene in which Tanzi fights with the US military is likely to come from Zhang Fengshan, the leader of the volunteer combat team.
In the battle with the US army, Zhang Fengshan and 4 soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat, first shooting and killing a US soldier, and then biting the hand of an American soldier, picking up the gun and killing the enemy.
At that time, Zhang Fengshan had not eaten a meal for 3 days, but he could still retreat with one enemy and four whole bodies.
Therefore, the scene in the movie where Tanzi stuffs his mouth with compressed biscuits is very real and poignant.

Limited by space, we have only talked about historical figures on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in this article.
Among the three generals with heavier Chinese drama, Peng Dehuai, commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, was played by Zhou Xiaobin, who played Peng Dehuai, one of the "Ten Marshals" of the Republic.
The picture below is a photo of Marshal Peng Dehuai, and Zhou Xiaobin performed his charm:
Lin Yongjian played Deng Hua, the first deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, and Lin Yongjian often acted in comedy, and he played Deng Hua, which made people have some drama.
In July 1953, after the victory of the Jincheng counterattack, Deng Hua was officially appointed commander of the Volunteer Army, and the picture below is General Deng Hua:
Zhang Hanyu played Song Shilun, commander of the Volunteer Army's 9th Corps, which was the main force in the Battle of Chosin Lake.
When the 9th Corps returned from Korea, Song Shilun asked to stop and bowed in the direction of Chosin Lake, and could not help but burst into tears...
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" > U.S. general</h1>
In the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, MacArthur was the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, and "Chosin Lake" showed his arrogant side.
Because of the lack of combat, MacArthur was removed from his post in April 1951 and Ridgway took over as commander-in-chief. The following picture is the real-life MacArthur:
In Chosin Lake, Almond, commander of the U.S. 10th Army, and Smith, commander of the 1st Marine Division, have a tense relationship, as has historically been.
At the end of the film, when the American troops retreat, Smith salutes the "Ice Sculpture Company", and the volunteers win the respect of the enemy.
Historically, Smith's acumen and prudence saved the First Marine Division at the Battle of Chosin Lake.
Unlike Smith, who was promoted to general, Almond was widely criticized for his miscalculations at the Battle of Chosin Lake.
The picture below is the real-life Smith (left) and Almond, the actors are too similar:
In the battle of Xinxingli in "Chosin Lake", McLean, the leader of the "Polar Bear Regiment", was shot, and Wu Wanli wanted to kill him, and was taught by his brother Wu Qianli that "some guns must be fired, and some guns can not be fired."
Historically, McLean was captured after being shot and died 4 days later, and Feith, who succeeded him as regimental commander, was killed in subsequent battles. Here's a picture of McLean and Fiss on the battlefield:

For film and television works on the theme of historical war, two hard targets must be achieved:
The first is to respect historical facts, and the personality and experience of important historical figures should not be joked;
The second is to reproduce the battlefield, the model of the tank, the details of the weapon must be able to withstand the fire eye of the military fans.
After completing the examination of the 10 historical archetypal characters in the movie "Chosin Lake", Mu tou Tao can deeply feel the crew's respect for history and the intention of casting, and the actors have also highly restored and recreated the prototype.
