Screenwriter Seven Times Guangxi Interview "Fighting Bandits" does not joke about history
The story of "Fighting Bandits" is born from real historical materials, telling the real history of Guangxi that was both turbulent and little known in the early 1950s. The story begins in early 1950, when the Kuomintang was not willing to be defeated, and sent agents to infiltrate the strategic city of Chacheng in northern Guizhou, unite with the local bandit forces, and plot to counterattack the newly established republican regime. At this time, Mu Jianchen (Wan Siwei), a military doctor of the People's Liberation Army, was caught up in this espionage war under the wrong circumstances and experienced the test of life and death.
In order to create the script of "Fighting Bandits", screenwriter and producer Li Jingdong traveled to the Guibei Mountains of Guangxi Seven Times in three years and visited hundreds of people, including many veteran guerrillas who had personally participated in the struggle against bandits, some of whom were nearly 100 years old. For screenwriters, this is not only "recording history", but also a "rescue history" work. There are many little-known historical truths that have been completely "salvaged" in such field interviews. Li Jingdong said that the script creation of this drama will adhere to the materialist view of history, fully respect history, and put an end to jokes.

Shouzheng is surprising and will never do thunder drama
According to producer Li Jingdong, the drama "Fighting Bandits" is actually a story about "faith" in the final analysis, using the story of a former Kuomintang military doctor who surrendered to the "faith" and was willing to sacrifice for faith to reveal the historical truth that the Communist Party established a new China in accordance with history and the people's hearts. Director Huang Kemin said that "Fighting Bandits", as a legendary action drama, has a variety of elements that are very interesting, such as bandits, suspenseful spy battles, wonderful fights, and life and death love, but the core point is to complete artistic creation on the basis of fully respecting history and restoring history, not hunting and not dealing with. Tan Qiao's action team also said that the action design of this play will fully comply with the laws of physics, pay attention to the word solid, and do not engage in the set of cornices and wall thunder dramas.
