goes, you can't forget the past, and why you started. On March 25, 1949, Chairman Mao led the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to "come into Beijing to rush to the exams", strategizing in the Xiangshan Mountains, commanding the battle of crossing the river, rectifying the national economy, preparing for the Political Consultative Conference... which opened the historical prelude to a new China. Produced by the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Bona Pictures, directed by Huang Jianxin, and co-directed by Ning Haiqiang, the film "Decisive Moment" starts from this point in time and narrates the "Fragrant Mountain Story" of the Chinese Communist Party.
In the history of the Communist Party of China, from the great period of the Chinese Communist Party in Nanhu, Jiaxing, to the Jinggangshan period, Yan'an period, and Xibaipo period, they have been expressed in a number of red literature and art works. In this magnificent history of the Communist Party of China in Xiangshan in 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has rarely seen films and television works. The difficulty of how to grasp such a major revolutionary historical theme can also be imagined. In November 2018, well-known female screenwriter He Jiping received a call from Zhang Heping, the artistic director of "The Final Moment", saying "come soon" and she immediately realized the importance of the subject matter and the urgency of time. From completely ignorant of the magnificent history after Chairman Mao entered the Shuangqing Villa, to selecting moments that can be artistic from piles of books and materials, watching massive movies to avoid plot crashes, two weeks, He Jiping A thousand-character outline was published. From "Shuangqing Villa 1949" to "Winning Moment" and then to "Winning Moment", the change of the title also heralded the advancement of creation. It took 4 months to study millions of words of historical facts and sort out the context and rich details of Xiangshan's history. He Jiping remained sick for 4 consecutive months after the script was handed over. The movie
unfolds a grand and micro narrative with the party Central Committee’s “entry into Beijing for examination” in 1949, to the founding ceremony and other key moments that determine the direction of China’s destiny, highlighting the difficulty of founding a nation. For many people, that period of history is vague, macroscopic but not specific. This is especially true for mainstream movie audiences in their 20s. In revealing the key moment of the Central Government’s impact on Chinese history in Xiangshan, "The Final Moment" has the attraction and historical and artistic value that previous works did not have. For example, the "Chinese-British Amethyst Military Conflict" that many people don't know about, the British imperialists used the light frigate "Amethyst" to deter the People's Liberation Army from crossing the river. But our army was not afraid, and wounded the "Amethyst" with continuous sky cannon fire, resulting in the death of 45 British soldiers, one missing and 93 wounded. In the end, the "Amethyst" escaped, and our People's Liberation Army successfully crossed the river to fight and liberated Nanjing. This scene infected the audience present, thunderous applause rang out in the theater, and also recorded the high burning side of the movie.
"We used to watch this kind of movies, and it might feel a bit like a paper. In fact, can you talk about party history? For history, should I just take the party history to see it? Why should I watch your movie? The movie must be for the audience Image and emotion make me cry, make me laugh, make me proud, make me excited, and make me excited. This is what a movie is called." Director Huang Jianxin said frankly. The morning light sprinkled on the Fragrant Hills and the Shuangqing Villa hidden by the trees, indicating that China's future is full of bright, and 30 characters including Mao Zedong are listed. Movies have a texture requirement. When the lens is approaching, the texture of this thing must be in place. What is a good artist? It can provide the audience with a bug-free texture throughout the whole process. It is a common thing for the audience to pick bugs when watching movies. Leaning preaching and propagating thoughts through emotion is one of the shooting methods of "The Final Moment". There are many details in the film that cannot be seen in history books. There are fictional characters, but there is no fictional big event. There will be this fictional character in a big event. Movies are an art form. Movies are more authentically called spiritual reality. The reality of major events is subject to the reality of spiritual emotions. How does
show the magnificent history, how to reproduce the mindset of great men, and how to let the great historical figures truly enter the audience's psychology through the screen? From the perspective of the three little figures (Chairman Mao’s guard Chen Youfu, radio broadcaster Meng Yu, and PLA soldier Tian Erqiao), the main creative team unanimously passed the perspective. From this moment on, the detailed outline and the branch outline are unavoidable. The history, such as the battle of crossing the river, the theory of new democracy, playing the Amethyst, or Chairman Mao’s theater listening to the opera, eating snacks on the side of the road, writing love letters for the guards and other small details, each time is unanimously approved.And this is exactly what He Jiping has always kept. Even if he writes real history and big figures, he must start with small figures, life details and character relationships. The grand history is made up of individual people. It is for the audience to watch. In the film
, Chairman Mao teased the guard Chen Youfu next to him that he "loves but hesitates his head and hesitates", and he spares no effort to assist him in his love with the announcer Meng Yu Tiantian, and Chen Youfu sincerely expresses the affection in the poem " When he didn’t understand” and “not so exaggerated,” Chairman Mao explained the meaning of “a day is like three autumns”, and he even more frankly and generously stated his own understanding of poetry. Exaggeration", disdain to play mystery. In addition, the scenes of Chairman Mao teaching his daughter to catch sparrows in the film complemented the strategic deployment plot of the heroic recitation of "The battle of Chibi, the east wind sent me the first ship", allowing more viewers to see Chairman Mao behind the image of a great man. Kind and lovely true temperament. Many seemingly inadvertent details are the effective setting for rich plot and full character. These are things that I have never experienced in previous film and television works of the same type and similar themes. Especially when the seriously ill Ren Bishi played the violin for Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, and Liu Shaoqi, many viewers praised this as a big "tear gas" in the film. The most shocking scene of
is the color high-definition video of the Founding Ceremony that was first launched on the big screen at the end of the film, restoring the collective memories of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and it surprised the audience. Seeing this video is "worth the fare", "like suddenly riding on a time-space shuttle and returning to 70 years ago", returning to the decisive moment that witnessed the rise of the Chinese nation. Earlier, someone told Huang Jianxin that he saw a color picture of Chairman Mao at the Founding Ceremony on his mobile phone, which surprised him, because "The Founding of the Country" also used the real images of the Founding Ceremony, but the database only found black and white. of. He hurriedly asked the source of the color pictures and learned that the Americans had found them in Russia and used them in a documentary. So Huang Jianxin quickly sent two groups of people to Russia and turned out all the relevant documentaries he could find. At that time, the technology of our country was not good, and the color pictures of several celebrations were all taken by Russia. When the staff finally searched for the 4-minute founding ceremony films in Russia, they did not hesitate to buy them all.
"The Final Moment" is the best gift for the 70th birthday of the Republic mother! Going to the cinema to watch such a movie is not only artistic enjoyment, but also simple and patriotic. What do you think is more important and worthwhile? When you have watched the film, with an uncomfortable mood, and then walked from the dark theater to the sunny street, you can understand more deeply the true meaning of light. How can there be any easy years to be quiet, all because there are martyrs fighting for us. Don't forget the time and road, don't be afraid of new journey! Looking back at the original intention of the founding of New China, whether it is the figure of the leaders of the Party Central Committee who dared to be the first and dedicated themselves, or the fearless spirit of thousands of soldiers, the magnificent era of 1949 is worthy of every Chinese to understand and remember, and cherish it even more. Hard-won peace and happiness.
