shows contemporary soldiers New look


Contemporary military-themed film and television works undertake the historical mission of promoting national ideology and mainstream values. As an important carrier to reflect the construction and development of the army, it has the responsibility to objectively and vividly show the military style, tell the military stories well, and use art The patriotic enthusiasm of the audience is aroused by the way of expression. "Tiger Commando" innovatively tells contemporary military stories from different levels such as content, narrative, and characters.

At the content level, the film "boldly" chose a more authentic "red and blue military exercise". Xu Zhe said, "The reason why it is called 'bold' is that in the online film market, creators often choose content that can directly express the conflict between the positive and the negative, such as special police fighting against drug dealers. There is no 'real knife and real gun' military exercise as the core of the story, and the business risk is huge, but the team firmly believes that only by relying on the real story, can the audience truly feel the growing strength of the motherland and the army."


At the narrative level, " Tianhu Commando starts with two story lines. First, from the "brigade-level" confrontation game between the red and blue armies, to show our army's latest combat concepts, weapons and equipment and spiritual outlook, as well as the excellent training results of "really fighting and preparing" and "preparing for war"; the second is the Red Army's special operations The team "Tianhu Commando" went deep into the enemy's rear alone. The Blue Army's special forces used the advantages of battlefield information and personnel and equipment to besieged and ambushed many times. The Tianhu Commando still fought tenaciously and finally won the exercise. "(The story) embodies the important military thought that Chairman Mao said 'weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor, and the decisive factor is people not things'. Let the audience understand that the core of our army's victory is a 'qi' '——The confidence of ability, the courage of blood, and the vitality of military soul." Xu Zhe said.


"Because it is different from the traditional military theme, the film does not have the usual conflicts between superiors and subordinates, conflicts between positive and negative factions and other settings." Li Hao, the producer of "Tiger Commandos", said that the film satisfied the satisfaction from another perspective. The viewing habits of audiences of this type of subject matter-strengthen the rhythm of the story, visual effects, editing skills, etc., to make the film story more exciting, the rhythm more compact, and the audiovisual more exciting. For example, the film opens with a tense military operation, and the entire film focuses more on the actual difficulties faced by the "Tiger Commandos".

At the character level, "Tiger Commando" abandons the setting of "common soldier counterattack growth", and combines the characteristics of the current era to create a new image of a group of military talents with education and brains who can apply advanced technology and equipment to fight. Li Hao said, "With the changes and development of the times, today's soldiers generally have received higher education. Realistically showing the current military style can make the audience have a stronger sense of substitution for the film, and it is easier to develop empathy."


also,What is worth looking forward to is that the "brigade-level" large-scale actual combat confrontation is presented in the film. Sophisticated equipment will be unveiled one by one.

The spiritual core of "Tiger Commando" is "the fighting spirit of never giving up in the face of adversity". Xu Zhe said that today's young people live in a peaceful era and do not need to go to the battlefield, but they are at a critical stage of life struggle and will face many difficulties in the workplace or in life, so the main creative team hopes that the spiritual core of this work will be It can resonate with the broad audience, especially the young audience, and let these young people gain the strength to forge ahead in the art works.

In order to show a more realistic "red and blue military exercise", the film gathered a number of professionals with rich experience in military content creation. Director Huang Zhaosheng has directed many military-themed movies such as " Sniper " and " Thunder Action ". The screenwriter team not only has retired special forces, but also invited professionals who had served in the blue army in the film - the "whetstone force" to provide consulting services for the film.


The choice of actors is particularly important for the presentation of military-themed works. Xu Zhe introduced that the main actors of the film have rich experience in military film and television performances. Starring Wang Yutian has successfully created the role of "Stone" as a resolute and brave marine in the movie " Red Sea Operation ". " and other films have created a popular image of the soldier. According to reports, before the filming of the film, all the leading actors have participated in strict military training, and strive to present a real, respectable and lovely soldier image for everyone.

"The word 'network' has gradually faded away since the development of online movies, and the weight of the word 'movie' has begun to increase. The pursuit of value expression is the most obvious manifestation." Xu Zhe said that online movies can only be constantly innovated and expressed to establish a high-quality product. Awareness can attract audiences and win the market.
