Wen/Yangcheng sent reporter Hu Guangxin
The key film "The Moment of the Sun Rising" in Guangdong Province celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China was released on October 25. A few days ago, the film premiered at the Canton Tower. Film director An Lan, starring Ren Shuai, Lu Chen, Lan Feiyang, Ma Ziluo, screenwriter Zhang Fuhua, Chen Yingwen and other creators came to the scene to relive the filming experience and mental journey with more than 100 audiences. After the
movie screening was over, the host asked, "Are any viewers crying?" Most of the audience in the theater raised their hands. "The Moment of Sun Rising" is based on the background of the "Battle of Hengbao", the only one that straddled the founding ceremony in the War of Liberation, and tells the touching stories of many young soldiers of the "Sword Company". Every character in the film has flesh and blood, and is not a stereotyped "weiguangzheng".
screenwriter Zhang Fuhua visited the battlefield that year and interviewed a large number of relevant people. There are many plots in the movie that have a realistic basis. For example, the company commander Li Shuqing and the "marksman" Liu Sanzhu all have character prototypes: Liu Sanzhu was called to fight on the night of his wife's wedding. Later, when he learned that he was going to continue south, he was too homesick. As a deserter, he found that his wife and brother had been killed by the Kuomintang after returning home. He resolutely returned to the team to join the fight again; Li Shuqing was originally a regiment leader, because he wanted to go home to see his parents for the last time and did not ask for leave to leave the team, he was demoted to a company commander. He always adhered to his duty as a soldier and led the young people in the company to fight bravely. The fictional characters in the film
condense the different images of young people at that time. For example, the "cultural man" glasses in the company are the epitome of that generation of intellectuals: he was cowardly and wimpy in the early days, but he transformed into an excellent soldier after being baptized on the battlefield. Finally, he used his body to cover his teammates and sacrificed heroically.
An Lan described: "This is a film showing the growth process of every young person. They come together because of their faith and become comrades-in-arms who protect each other with their lives." "The Time When the Sun Rises" pays great attention to the essence of the characters on the battlefield. The carvings are meticulously carved, and the details are tears: soldiers carrying red flags running in the muddy water, little soldiers pounced on the rock-solid tank with their bodies, machine gunners shooting the enemy's vital points in the smoke... At the end of the film, Liu Sanzhu Raising the red flag of "New China" high on the enemy's tank, as if the Chinese version of "Saving Private Ryan", pushed the movie's mood to a climax. Director An Lan said: "This film is to show the responsibility and bloodliness of the youth of that generation, so that today's young people can see the ideals and dreams of the year."
