Chapter 986: Thousands of Miles of Beautiful Rivers and Mountains (Two in One)

After much anticipation, the movie "Changjin Lake" finally revealed its true appearance.

The film begins with the end of a war: PLA company commander Wu Qianli returns home from the battlefield of the Liberation War, holding the urn of his sacrificed brother Wu Baili.

He looked at the lush mountains and gurgling waters of his hometown and smiled a gentle manly smile.

He knelt down in front of his parents and said that the war was over and good days would come.

However, before he could finish his words, an urgent order from the troops arrived: return to the team immediately.

The war that Company Commander Wu Qianli faced again broke out in Korea.
Although it is a simple picture, Brother Chen Kai’s shot is picturesque and brings the beautiful scenery of Huzhou, Zhejiang to life.

"This is my hometown. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's so beautiful here, with green water and green mountains and beautiful scenery!"

"."

At the beginning, the atmosphere was not yet ignited and was still in the foreshadowing stage, with the audience occasionally chatting a little.

Following the order from their superiors, the soldiers of the Seventh Company, represented by the Wu brothers, quickly boarded the train and headed directly to the Korean battlefield.

When the soldiers were playing and fighting in the carriage transporting the troops, the moment they opened the door, they saw the Great Wall of China, winding and magnificently spread out before their eyes under the golden afterglow.

The beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland stunned the group of volunteer soldiers who rushed to the battlefield.

That kind of silent shock is heart-wrenching.

This scene also stunned the audience.

“Is this our beautiful country?”

"As expected of a great director, the film is so spectacular. How come I didn't feel this way when I climbed the Great Wall?"

"It makes my blood boil. The vast landscape is as beautiful as a painting. This is my motherland."

"."

The audience all knows that this group of the most lovely people are preparing to use their flesh and blood to defend their country and build a new Great Wall.

"This scene was probably shot by Brother Chen Kai."

Jiang Wen looked at this scene and muttered to himself.

Zhou Yun, who was standing by, heard what Jiang Wen said and looked at the screen carefully, seeming to agree with what Jiang Wen said.

Although the first half does not enter the battle, the emotions laid out and the background and characters introduced are vividly presented to everyone.

However, as the plot developed, the audience became more and more focused.

Especially when the Volunteer Army launched a general offensive against the U.S. Army, the scene was moving.

The snow-capped mountains are like silver and the cold wind is biting.

On the snow-capped mountains, the volunteers had been lying in ambush for many days, yet they did not even have a single piece of warm military uniform.

However, when the clarion call for the general attack was sounded, volunteers poured out from all directions and tore through the snow-covered mountains.

"From which direction are the enemies coming?"

The commander of the US military asked again and again.

"The enemy is coming from all directions"

"Where on earth did they come from? Did they fall from the sky?"

"."

At this moment, in the wind and snow, countless figures rushed towards the enemy camp like a tide, densely packed and majestic.

The pace of the charge was firm and heavy, as if every step was stepping on a node in history.

Some people fell down, but no one stopped. Their will seemed to have been integrated into this land of ice and snow, becoming an eternal monument.

Bullets tore through clothes and bodies, shells exploded the snow beneath feet, and blood evaporated in the cold air, becoming the only heat in this tragic battle.

When the marking bomb fell, the shadow of the enemy fighter plane was already hovering overhead.

Lei Gong did not hesitate for a moment. He silently picked up the flare and climbed onto the chariot.

Amid the roar of the engine, he hummed softly the folk song from his hometown that was engraved in his bones and unforgettable: "Dial of Yimeng Mountain".

The singing was intermittent, mixed with blood flowing from the nose and corners of the mouth.

It's just that I vomited too much blood from my mouth, and I couldn't hear the words of the ballad I sang.
Until finally, a well-aimed shell exploded under his car, and flames engulfed everything.

Lei Gong's figure was thrown into the sky, and then fell heavily back to the ground, and his blood dyed the snow red.

His body was stuck under the wreckage of the chariot, covered in blood, but his eyes were still looking into the distance.

That was the direction of the Seventh Company, where his "children" were charging.

The audience's eyes were blurred and tearful.

The sentimental girls would wipe the corners of their eyes from time to time with tissues.

"This is so contagious." Zhou Xun was sitting in the actor's row. She didn't have any tissues with her, so she had to ask for a few from those nearby, otherwise her makeup would be completely ruined.

“It’s a really nice shot.”

Song Chongshi, who was sitting in the front row, had already shed tears and could not help but mutter to himself.

Pinghe was the first to kneel beside Leigong, and with trembling hands he tried to pull him out from under the car.

Wu Wanli said nothing, but just tried his best to lift the car.

Wu Qianli's voice was hoarse and broken: "Lift it up! Lift it up quickly!"

Everyone was screaming in tears.
When Lei Gong was carried out, his life was almost over.

With his eyes distracted, he whispered: "It hurts, it hurts so much, don't leave me here alone"

One sentence made everyone burst into tears.

He is no longer the iron-blooded warrior who roared "Charge" on the battlefield, but an ordinary person who is afraid of loneliness. He misses home and wants to go back home.

His words came in fits and starts, and finally he stopped.

At that moment, all the gunshots seemed to stop, and the world was silent.

There were sobs at the premiere.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect this kind of expression before Lei Gong died."

Jiang Wen said in shock while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Because under normal circumstances, even if the Iron-Blooded Warrior falls down, he will still say something like he must win and must bring his brothers back.

But at this time, Lei Gong was left alone, and he suddenly softened.

I don't want to be alone, I just want to go home.

"This sentence perfectly portrays the image of Lei Gong. It's amazing." As an actor, Zhou Yun certainly knows how important a line is to the portrayal of a character when the movie has progressed to this point.

This sentence can be said to be the finishing touch.

"Which director created this film?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say, but this person is either Lao Mouzi or Lao Li. But judging by the style of his words, I think it's more Lao Li."

Jiang Wen analyzed slowly.

But the audience at the back didn't analyze it so much, they just cried their hearts out.

"Why did Lei Gong sacrifice himself?"

"What a lovely character. Hu Jun played the role really well. I really hope he can survive."

"This role is perfect."

At this moment, even the main actors in the front row were shocked.

"You acted it out so well." Wu Jing also exclaimed and patted Hu Jun on the shoulder.

"Brother Hu Jun's acting is so amazing." Yi Yang Qianxi said quickly.

"I was so immersed in the role when I saw the scene. To be honest, I didn't know how I acted out the role at first." Hu Jun was also filled with emotion as he looked at the scene on the screen.

The character of Lei Gong really brought tears to my eyes.

Lei Gong's body was carefully arranged. His comrades put a military cap on him and wiped the blood off his face. Mei Sheng said softly, "It doesn't hurt now."

But each of them knows that this pain will not stop, but will be engraved in the heart of every survivor.

Wu Qianli took out a small notebook, his fingers trembling, but he was unable to draw a red circle around Lei Gong's name.

Tears flowed freely down his face. This was not the loss of control of a company commander, but the sorrow of a brother who lost his loved ones.

Wu Wanli stood behind him, recalling Lei Gong's smile and roar, tears blurred his vision.

He thought back to the time when Lei Dad asked him on the train: "Why do you want to join the army?
He replied: "To make my brother look up to me!"

"What are you talking about? It's called courage to let your enemies look up to you!"

However, the Lei Dad who said this has already died in a foreign land. When I thought of this, tears welled up in my eyes.

Mei Sheng broke the silence: "We must fight this battle, because if we don't fight, the next generation will have to fight." These words were like a thunder, waking everyone up.

Wu Qianli wiped away his tears, stood up straight, and looked around at his comrades: "Win the battle and take them home!"

"."

At the end of the movie, the volunteer army won the victory and the US army evacuated in embarrassment.

However, the price of this victory was too heavy to bear.

The 125 soldiers of the Sixth Company turned into eternal ice sculptures in the snow, their hands still tightly grasping their steel guns, facing the enemy camp, glaring, as if silently declaring: "Our mission is not yet completed."

The volunteer army stood on the bank of the Yalu River, waving flags and shouting, the sound shaking the sky.

The audience in front of the screen were all in tears, which was a respect for the deceased and a cherishment for peace.
The main content of the movie ends here, but the end credits begin to roll.

This is a seven-minute-long end credits video. All of the more than 7 people who participated in the production are included in the subtitles. However, the audience watched quietly without showing any impatience, as if they were still immersed in the heroic deeds that had just happened.

After waiting for the scrolling subtitles to finish, the audience stood up and burst into warm applause.

“Great shot, very good.”

"This is our Changjin Lake, this is the movie!"

"."

Li Mu, Zhang Yi and others stood up and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the audience's reactions.

"Brother, we didn't mess it up." Li Mu said with a faint smile.

"It's good that I didn't mess it up." Zhang Yi also looked much more relaxed and said slowly.

"Yes, I'm glad it didn't go wrong. To be honest, I was a little worried before, but after this premiere, I should be able to put my mind at ease."

Brother Chen Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them are under a lot of pressure. After all, the more famous they are, and the more they are working together, the more likely it is that if there is a problem with the movie, the backlash will be very serious, especially for such a special movie.

"To be honest, the audience's reaction was three points stronger than I expected. It was not easy." All Huang Jianxin's hard work before this moment was worth it.

This is the most difficult film he has ever produced, far superior to the previous ones in every aspect, and there are also issues with the external environment, but this may also be a film that will go down in history.

"Director Li, Director Zhang, Director Chen, congratulations!"

Yu Dong and Ming Zhenjiang also congratulated Li Mu and his companions when they passed by.

Even several leaders of the General Administration nodded their heads. It was obvious that there was no problem with the filming and it was completely completed.

Just when the creators stepped onto the stage and stood there, before they even bowed to express their gratitude, the audience applauded again.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Li Mu bowed to express his gratitude to the audience.

"Being liked by everyone proves that our filming was worthwhile!"

“Take more pictures like this in the future!”

“It’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful!”

"I will take my whole family to watch this movie again during the National Day holiday. This movie must be watched more often."

The audience in the audience immediately shouted.

"Director Li, interview session"

The host Yang Lan deliberately guided the audience, saying that after all, if the show got stuck here, it would not be good for the premiere, as there were a lot of leaders sitting below.

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Then the media rushed to raise their hands, but since there were several official media outlets such as Film News and Six Princesses present, naturally they had to invite one first.

"Directors, please tell me why you chose the Jiangnan water town scenery and the Great Wall at the beginning of the movie, which amazed the audience."

The female reporter from the Film News was the first to publish the article.

And it’s aimed at the beginning of the movie, because it’s very impressive.

"This was shot by Director Chen. Director Chen, please come over." Li Mu said with a smile.

"To be honest, there is a hidden meaning in this. I don't know if you have seen it. I will just give you a small hint, but please don't reveal it to the audience who haven't seen it yet."

It was rare for Brother Chen Kai to be funny, and the audience laughed and nodded.

"On the one hand, shooting this kind of scene is of course my personal style. I tend to be artistic, and you may have sensed it to some extent. On the other hand, the river surface covered with colorful autumn leaves when Wu Qianli first returned home actually implies peace, and also forms a contrast with the tragic war that followed.

But why did it end up like this? The Great Wall is still there.

This has to be traced back to the beginning when a few of us discussed it. Director Li was responsible for the overall tone. The tone he gave to the film was: you must first show what your home and your country are like, and then you will have the possibility of defending your country.

So the director team found the key words: defending the country, and the Great Wall is our national symbol, and everyone has the Great Wall in their hearts.

The soldiers standing in the carriages are all flesh and blood. There is a line in the national anthem: 'Let our flesh and blood build our new Great Wall.'"

"clap clap"

The audience was obviously very satisfied with Chen Kaige's answer and applauded.

“This is a good tone, a good tone.”

Even Wang Xiaohui couldn't help but comment at this moment.

"Li Mu has never failed to hit the right tone for the main theme, so choosing him as the chief director is really reassuring." Mao Yu added, nodding repeatedly.

"Yeah, it's reassuring indeed."

"."

At this moment, the Sixth Princess couldn't wait to start the interview, talking about the difficulties in filming, the details of the film's content, and various aspects of the actors' performances.

However, China Film News would like to inquire about this special visitor, who is Song Chongshi, the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Changjin Lake.

Li Mu naturally couldn't make the decision, but Song Chongshi responded with a smile and took the microphone.

The reporter's questions were not tricky. He just simply asked about his opinion on the movie "Changjin Lake".

"To be honest, I have waited too long for the movie about Changjin Lake. This one directed by Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige has captured the spirit of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which is small in number but big in spirit. It's great!"
