Some actors often do things very low-key, but things are often surprised when they are taken out, so they are always trustworthy and more worthy of expectation.
For example, Wu Jing.
Many people may not have thought that, silently, in this year's National Day file, Wu Jing's new film "My Father and Me" is coming again!
This is again a theme about the heroic and fearless Chinese soldiers, keywords: anti-Japanese, war films, cavalry, real.
Four years ago, since Wu Jing's self-directed and self-starred "Wolf Warrior 2" jumped to the top of the Chinese film box office, his film path has become more and more solid, especially one thing that is more and more likeable: the military complex in his deep heart continues to be expressed in his works.
Finally, after 4 years of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing once again directed and acted in a war film: this time, we waited for the war horse!
As a "National Day Trilogy" series, Wu Jing's "Riding the Wind" directed and starring is a story in "My Father and Me", and the trailer for "Riding the Wind" immediately brought surprises - unlike Zhang Ziyi, Xu Zheng and Shen Teng in "My Father and Me" who chose to focus on the field of attention, Wu Jing's "Riding the Wind" is a story of the Anti-Japanese Cavalry Regiment based on a true story.
Ma Renxing, the protagonist archetype played by Wu Jing, can be described as the "god of war on horseback" in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Under the leadership of Ma Renxing, the protagonist played by Wu Jing, a tough guy cavalry regiment killed the enemy on horseback, and the blood of the people boiled, and he put his arms around the child and said, "God is on our side", and saw the tenderness of the iron man.
The trailer of "Riding the Wind" reflects the consistent tough guy style of Wu Jing's works, and the first appearance is the battlefield of guns and bullets, and there are more magnificent warhorses galloping and thrilling horseback gun scenes.
What is particularly exciting is the high-burning atmosphere and large scenes in the trailer, such a cavalry scene in recent years can be described as extremely rare in Chinese war films, which shows Wu Jing's efforts for this movie and his pursuit of excellence in making this movie.
In the trailer of "Riding the Wind", there are two scenes that are particularly high-burning and explosive, and people's blood is boiling!
One was the design of the cavalry regiment to ambush the enemy aircraft: several cavalry as decoys, leading out the enemy military aircraft's air strafing, this kind of confrontation that seemed to be completely "self-sufficient", at the first point, was thrilling.
Under the strafing of the enemy planes, the war horse was shot in the thigh, and the flesh and blood flew...
But before people can feel heartache, Ma Renxing, played by Wu Jing, shouted: Enter the set and hug again! Then there were the enemy planes that we successfully ambushed. There is courage and strategy, there is courage and knowledge, and the image of a horseback god of war jumps out of sight.
There is also a move that people are in the flag!
Under the order of the Japanese officer to "block the cavalry regiment", the cavalry regiment suffered a serious artillery attack, and in the chaos of people turning on their horses, our cavalry regiment soldiers insisted that the people were in the flag, so that our red flag would not fall!
In the midst of the artillery fire, Ma Renxing, played by Wu Jing, galloped on horseback, took the red flag from the hands of his comrades-in-arms, let the banner of the "Jizhong Cavalry Regiment" flutter in his hands, and staged the great spirit of Chinese soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice, perseverance and courage in the cannon fire and dust!
This scene can't help but remind people of the scene where Wu Jing held high the flag in "Wolf Warrior 2" 4 years ago, which was instantly touching!
The difficult circus also puts forward high requirements for the safety of the crew, and Wu Jing has repeatedly stressed that both people and horses must ensure safety. To this end, the set team made special treatment of the ground, and the necessary shots also chose fake horses instead. The crew ambulance is on standby 24 hours a day.
During the filming of a horse riding scene, because the horse suddenly slipped and rolled over, Wu Jing fell off the horse, directly head down and fell off the horse to become an "upside-down onion", and was stuck by props and could not turn over.
Wu Jing, who has been filming hard, after adjusting over, first cared about the safety of the horse, and then continued to shoot after a simple rest. He also stressed to the staff at the scene that the matter of falling horses should not be spread to the outside world, especially not to let his wife Xie Nan know.
However, he did not go to the hospital to check the injury until after a day of shooting to find out how the injury was. This kind of creative spirit of selflessness for the sake of filming is worthy of Wu Jing, a "drama maniac" who has already been scarred.
It can be seen that Wu Jing attaches great importance to and likes this play.
Filming this "Riding the Wind", Wu Jing, who is also the director and star, is highly involved, in order to shoot the big scene, he personally took the hoe to participate in the set work, and after being busy on the set, it was to maximize the presentation of the desired picture.
It is reported that Wu Jing was very attentive to shooting this subject, consulted a large number of materials for the restoration of details, and worked hard to restore the details of the war. He hopes that through this true story, more people will understand such a "father" hero, let us remember these heroes who have paid blood and sweat, should not forget the pain of history, and strive to create a better life today.
During filming, Wu Jing sent several messages on the social platform, all of which were busy on the set, because the filming location was mainly in the mountains, and he did not dare to slacken off in the face of flash floods.
In terms of casting, Wu Jing once again implemented his standard of "only choosing the right person":
Several of the main actors in "Riding the Wind" are remarkable, especially wu jing, Wu Lei, Li Guangjie, Yu Haolei and Wei Chen's interpretation of the "tough guy cavalry regiment" in the film, which once again interprets the extraordinary temperament of Chinese soldiers.
The predatory soldiers of the cavalry regiment interpreted by this group of powerful tough men focused on the anti-Japanese group portrait and also restored the true state of the anti-Japanese army and people. Not only that, Wu Jing and Wu Lei also staged a military father-son relationship in the film.
Many of these have had the experience of playing soldiers, temperament and acting recognition are quite high, this time riding on the battlefield, on the big screen presented a heroic and tenacious Chinese iron-blooded male group portrait, more exciting.
Wu Jing naturally does not need to say more, just in recent years, "Wolf Warrior", "Wolf Warrior 2", "King Kong Chuan" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Li Guangjie's "Lin Hai Xueyuan", Yu Haolei's "For the Advancement of New China", Wei Chen's "Eight Hundred".
War scenes are not easy to shoot, and war scenes with animals are even more difficult to shoot.
In the war drama, the most difficult thing to shoot on land is the horse riding scene, because it is not only people, but also horses, especially the cavalry drama of the big scene, but also consider the explosion point and the camera position, want the horse to obey, according to the pre-set route and plot, the difficulty can be imagined.
Now in the trailer, the Jizhong cavalry regiment composed of a large number of unsung heroes presented is so heroic and handsome, and the circus under the leadership of Wu Jing has both magnificent scenes and the thrill of individual combat, trying to restore the soul of the cavalry regiment from multiple angles.
Many people may have a question: why did Wu Jing direct the film again after 4 years of "Wolf Warrior 2"?
It can be said that Wu Jing is more cautious about the choice of filming, the requirements are higher, he does not easily shoot, but a shot is to shoot a good story he wants to shoot. This time, he chose to direct "Riding the Wind" because Wu Jing himself was first moved: this is a story adapted from real history, and the protagonist has a real hero archetype.
In the trailer of "Riding the Wind", the protagonist Ma Renxing, played by Wu Jing, is brave and resolute, with outstanding battle achievements, and is a hero worthy of being remembered by Chinese.
Ma Renxing's life was dedicated to the revolution, and in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment was the first heroic unit led by Ma Renxing, and it was also a fighting force that made the Japanese army feel frightened. The cavalry regiment fought in the Jizhong Plain, interspersed between the Pinghan railway lines, and adopted tactics such as long-distance raids and roundabout encirclement to combat the Japanese invasion, fighting more than 50 times.
According to military history records, in January 1942, the cavalry regiment of the Jizhong Military Region decided to conquer the county seat of Anping. In this battle, more than 500 people were rescued, more than 100 anti-Japanese personnel were rescued, a large number of military supplies were captured, and the road construction plan of the Japanese army was delayed - the Jizhong cavalry regiment attacked The county town of Ping'an at night, which can be called an example in cavalry combat.
Ma Renxing's legendary heroic experience of leading the cavalry regiment to kill the enemy in blood and on horseback is exactly what Wu Jing presented and expressed in "Riding the Wind".
At the same time, under the theme of "My Father and Me", Wu Jing's "Riding the Wind" is not only a war film, but also presents a deeply moving military father-son relationship in the rain of bullets:
Ma Renxing, played by Wu Jing, and Ma Chengfeng, played by Wu Lei, were born and died together on the battlefield, and the father brought his son not only simple words and deeds, but also heroic killing and defiance of the enemy by example.
It is worth noting that the name of the film is "Riding the Wind", which is the name of the "son" Ma Chengfeng, who embodies the deep and blood-thicker love of a military father in the battlefield where life and death are constantly staged.
Wu Jing's directorial work "Riding the Wind", which has been "holding" all along, finally exposed the trailer for the first time this time, and also made people's expectations for "My Father and Me" released in this year's National Day file increased again.
This film and the previous two years of word-of-mouth masterpieces "My Motherland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me" together constitute the "National Day Trilogy", through the big screen to continue the Chinese sons and daughters of the homeland feelings, as well as expectations and inheritance.
The heroic spirit of Ma Renxing, the "father", in "Riding the Wind", has also been passed down to this day, and it is the selfless dedication of the Ancestors of the Chinese nation, the defense of the family and the country, and the deep love for this land and people that have made us stronger and stronger today - the figure of these heroes has never stopped, whether it is the soldiers who fight floods in the rainstorm in Henan, or the medical personnel who are on the front line in the epidemic, the great Chinese nation has never lacked heroes.
"Riding the Wind" is Wu Jing's first war film directed after 4 years of "Wolf Warrior 2", for Wu Jing, his all-out efforts are not only because of a movie, but also want to use his own works to express his deep memories and tributes to the heroes of the "father's generation".
In everyone's heart, the father is a hero, and in Wu Jing's "Riding the Wind", he also wants to tell everyone what kind of father this hero is at the same time.
Having seen Wu Jing's good kung fu fists and feet, but also seen his style as a Chinese soldier, perhaps, in front of the label of Wu Jing's starring and war films, the "Riding the Wind" of "My Father and Me" this time is more impressive, it is precisely the father identity of this hero "Horseback God of War".
This year's National Day file, very much look forward to this time different, Wu Jing.
