"Hengyang is the cemetery of the 18,000 soldiers of our Tenth Army, and the cemetery of the Japanese invaders!"
I was attracted by this in " Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow " Attracted by words.
When it comes to war-themed blockbusters, everyone's first reaction is probably the " Changjin Lake " series by Wu Jing and Yi Yangqianxi. The theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea combined with top-notch production has created a miracle at the box office of domestic movies.
But none of the war films released later can compete with "Changjin Lake".
Fortunately, the audience has finally waited for it, and this blockbuster is finally scheduled to be released -
On June 28, "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" will be released nationwide. After four years of script creation and two years of preliminary preparation, the
movie has a total investment of over 500 million yuan, with as many as 2,000 people filming and participating, and has assembled a first-class domestic creative team and actors.
After watching the trailer, it is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely a war movie that can explode.
Adapted from real themes, the war blockbuster is coming
The film is based on the "Battle of Hengyang" that took place in 1944 as the background of the story.
Hengyang City was once known as "Little Shanghai". It was prosperous before the war. Due to the brutal war, more than 50,000 buildings in the entire city were destroyed, and Hengyang City was even wiped off the map.
The "Hengyang Defense War" was an extremely heroic war in the history of the Chinese nation's Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army increased its troops to 110,000, while the Tenth Army opposing it had less than 18,000.
However, these soldiers held on to Hengyang for 47 days, suffering 16,000 casualties and killing 48,000 enemy troops. This delayed the Japanese army's plans and led to the collapse of Hideki Tojo's cabinet. It became a battle example comparable to any battle in the entire history of World War II.
Judging from the excitement of the story, it is definitely not inferior to "Changjin Lake".
What's more, the main creator of the film is not simple either.
Liu Heping, the chief producer and screenwriter of this drama, is a national first-level screenwriter.
has created many excellent historical dramas such as " Yongzheng Dynasty " and "Ming Dynasty 1566", which have achieved the unity of historical reality and artistic reality.
He also has war themes at his fingertips.
's "All Quiet in Peking" received a high score of 9.0 and won screenwriting awards from many mainstream awards such as Magnolia and Feitian. Since the work was written by him personally, there is no need to worry about the quality.
What's more, Liu Heping is a native of Hengyang, and no one knows the stories of this land better than him.
director Zhang Yang is a representative of the "Sixth Generation of Directors". His "Falling Leaves Return to Roots" was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Film. He has strong narrative and expressive skills in the film.
Another director, Qin Tianzhu, is also one of the directors of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge", and he has a particularly good grasp of the war scenes. The trailer of
shows a good quality.
The intense battle of persistence, the tense and exciting atmosphere, and various war scenes take turns, bringing an unprecedented double shock.
The audience seems to be pulled back to the battlefield filled with artillery fire, feeling the suffocation of the shrapnel passing by and the excitement of the bloody battle. The bloody battle of
after 80 years has once again reached the hearts of every audience.
Yu Hewei plays the leading role, and the supporting roles steal the spotlight.
Movies are not only about filming stories, but also about people. The characters are the soul of the story, and the key to shaping the characters lies in the actors.
When I looked at the cast list of "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", I knew this movie was solid.
The protagonist of this film, Fang Xianjue, is played by Hewei.
When he said, "Please stick to it for ten days," it sounded like a plea and a last message to the soldiers. At that moment, the audience understood his desperate situation.
When walking on the battlefield, he always held back his energy. He was not willing to be subject to the oppression of the Japanese invaders, but also felt helpless about the gap between the enemy and ourselves.
Even if he didn't say a word, his powerful emotional output under the cold appearance touched the hearts of the audience.
is indeed Yu Hewei . Only such a role is worthy of his acting skills.
However, when I saw the supporting characters in the play, I couldn't help but sweat for Yu Hewei. No matter how much he stretched his hips, he couldn't suppress these awesome supporting characters.
ranked first, Wang Jinsong.
Wang Jinsong's acting skills have always been very stable.
In " The Great Battle ", when he played Chiang Kai-shek, he not only had both physical and mental skills, but also used rich details to portray the character, especially the scene of the Chongqing negotiations.
During the process of speaking, he almost never looked at the other person in the eyes. The few glances he made occasionally were arrogant and conceited, and his composure and calculation were all on display.
In the trailer of "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", Wang Jinsong subverts his previous image. He is pushing something with a gray face and a look of death-defying determination.
Just looking at this scene, I have already predicted the tragic ending of the character. How will Wang Jinsong play such a character? Look forward to it.
is second, Wan Qian.
The audience is also reassured by Wan Qian's acting skills.
She has performed wonderfully in works such as "Army Paradise", "Escape", " School Dad ", etc., and has won many awards and nominations such as Magnolia, Golden Rooster, and Golden Horse. In the trailer of
's new film, Wan Qian only has one scene.
She appeared without makeup, and her eyes looking toward the sky were filled with reluctance and hope, making people instantly immersed in the drama, which was touching enough.
The third place is Li Guangjie.
Li Guangjie is also an actor recognized by the audience.
In "Wind Blowing Pinellia", Li Guangjie plays the role of Zhao Lei, an executive of a foreign company. He is pulled aside by the heroine while discussing business. He cannot guess what the other person is thinking. His slightly opened mouth reveals his surprise, and his eyes are wary. , the expression details are accurately grasped.
has a very strong aura when talking about cooperation, as if he can see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, and his eye acting is quite good.
Judging from Li Guangjie's acting skills, he will be able to handle any role he is given.
ranks fourth, Yin Fang.
In works such as " New World " and " Young You ", Yin Fang's exquisite acting skills left a deep impression on the audience.
Yin Fang also has rich experience in controlling war themes.
In " Volunteer Army: Heroes Attack ", Yin Fang vividly demonstrated the passion and determination of the character, especially his regretful eyes when handing over the will, which made people deeply empathize.
I believe that his performance in the new film will not disappoint the audience.
Conclusion:
Overall, "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" is a film that is very worth looking forward to.
On the one hand, this movie has a strong creative team to protect the film. There is no need to worry about the quality of the script and the control of the war scenes.
On the other hand, the addition of powerful actors has brought the acting level of the entire film to a higher level. The portraits of the warriors have been created, making the film more enjoyable to watch.
More importantly, this film is about that epic battle, using flesh-and-blood characters to let the spirit of the soldiers pass through the screen and once again reach the hearts of every audience.
"Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" is also the best commemoration of all the soldiers in that battle.
