A few days ago, "Song for the National" was set for September 26. , a movie that has attracted a lot of attention and heated discussion since its inception, has finally unveiled its mystery recently, and it is expected to join this year's National Day file "Melee". Why did
"Song for the Country" stand out and become the most anticipated movie during the eleventh period? In the National Day file, choose to compete with a crowd of gift-giving films. The reliable quality of the film itself is the prerequisite for becoming a "dark horse" reserve. From the filming level to the ideological connotation that it conveys, "Song for the Country" has its own unique features.
The generosity of the war anthem has rekindled the flames of the age, and the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" team created a new benchmark for the war scene. Ms. Nie Lihua, composer of Yunnan National Film Studio, Tenzin, Vice Chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, is the chief planner of the "Wolf Warrior" series, Li Yang, and Qing Shan, who is also a screenwriter and director, is Nie Er’s nephew grandson.
, as the offspring of Nie’s “only two” insisting on making music, director Qingshan once held a large-scale original Nie Er musical "Song of the Country" at the National Grand Theater, which was widely praised by the industry. The original intention of the subsequent creation and directing of the film "Anthem for the National" is to make up for the life of Nie Er that cannot be shown in the musical, and to make a deeper interpretation of Nie Er based on the creation of the national anthem. Reflecting the mood of art creators like Nie Er under the historical background at the time.
In addition, the producers Zhao Chunming, Hu Bin, Cao Jingcang, Xu Xing, Xu Dongbin, Wang Tao, and the chief producers Xu Dongbin and Yang Shu formed a strong creative team for the film, including co-director Bai Haibin, director of photography Li Wei, and art director Xie Yong, costume styling director Lawrence Xu, action directors Shen Zaiyuan and Fu Xiaojie, blasting director Yin Xingyun, special effects makeup director Xue Song and other front-line creative teams participated. The domestic first-line post-production team has also gathered, editing director Kwong Zhiliang, color director Qu Siyi, sound director Wang Tanrong, and visual director Wang Shang. How can
capture the audience's attention in a short time? Judging from the strong cast of "Song for the Country", it has already won on the starting line. The film brings together top domestic and foreign “drama-level” actors and actresses, including Wang Lei, Nazha, Hai Yitian, Li Zonghan, Shi Ke, Robert Knepp, Ding Haifeng, Yu Rongguang, Chang Rong, Song Jialun, Liu Wei, Zhang Fan, Bai Hongbiao , Yang Juncheng, Yano Koji, Wei Qing, Kou Zhenhai, Lu Liangwei, Wu Nan, Wang Jinxin, Huang Baijun, Shi Nan, Xin Yuxi, Wei Jiamei and other famous actors affectionately played. The
movie takes Nie Er as the main body, portraying many roles such as Yuan Chunhui, Nie Mu, Tian Han, Lu Xun, Jin Yan, Song Qingling, Dai Anlan from the aspects of family affection, love, teacher-student relationship, and friendship, and invites three generations of old, middle and young people. The first-line actors played, recreating the beacon of the era and the wave of the times through the art of light and shadow. What
is most commendable is that the war scenes of "Song for the Country" can be called a high profile rarely seen in gift films in recent years. He has designed the film "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series, "My Leader My Group", "Psychological Crime" Shen Zaiyuan of the classic action scenes in China participated in the production to create the most realistic and shocking war scenes.
However, this film does not fully render the ruthlessness of war. The design of the screen is full of ingenuity and poetry. For example, on the battlefield where artillery is burned and flesh and blood are flying, there are still slender and tough flowers blooming all over, a metaphor that there is still a thread in the worst environment. vitality. "Easter eggs" such as
can be seen everywhere in the film. The director of music, Qing Shan, has a more keen perception of artistry. The design in this area is beyond the general director's expertise, and it is even more exciting.
"From people to things" is the ultimate restoration, innovative interpretation of the alternative gift film
"Song for the country" cannot be simply definedGenre movies are not outright anti-Japanese dramas nor self-talking literary and artistic films. They have two lines parallel to each other. They have both the bloody battles of the soldiers on the front battlefield and the tragedies of the times created by the artists and artists behind.
as a period play, in order to restore the trend of the time to the extreme, the film’s styling director specially invited the costume designer of the opening ceremony of the state event. Lawrence Xu, known as the “first person on the red carpet”, brought the ancient oriental charm to the time. The combination of Western elements popular in the Republic of China, each piece of costume is custom-made by hand, which shows its intention.
Lawrence Xu transformed the turbulent world into a "show field" in the Republic of China through costume design: Wang Lei played Nie Er in a long gown in the countryside of Yunnan, gentle and elegant, and a windbreaker on the streets of Shanghai. Yuan Chunhui, played by Nazha, is even more stunning with its own time filter. The tunic student suit not only embodies the unique femininity and subtlety of girls in the Republic of China, but also reflects the fashion of improving cheongsam that was popular at that time.
It is worth mentioning that "Song for the Country" can be regarded as Naza's transformation work. She reverses the image of the passionate second-year girl or the charming and haughty Gaoling flower in the past works. This time she plays Nie Er. His first love girlfriend chose to accompany Nie Er's mother during the long years, waiting hopelessly and earnestly for her lover in her hometown. The image she played was actually the epitome of the most classic women of that era-gentle and strong.
is different from most history-recording films that list events one by one like itinerary memos. "Song for the Country" reflects the background of the times through the growth of Nie Er and his "friends" and the choices in life. Starting from the characters, it is easier to get the emotional resonance of the audience.
, a low-key gift film that has been low-key from the beginning of filming, is now set in a high-profile format, which shows that the main creative team has accumulated a lot of hard work. Looking forward to the national release of "Song for the Country" on September 26, we will approach a warm Nie Er and approach a different gift film.
