lasts 1 minute and 53 seconds and is full of information. Many scenes completely ignited the audience's passion, and many lines made people's blood boil.

What’s so good about this new movie? What important information is hidden in this trailer? Whose performance in the film is more worth looking forward to? Let us take a look at the three layers of mystery of " reinforcements will arrive at tomorrow" along with the trailer.

The first veil: the subject matter is touching. The most direct impression given to me by the

movie trailer is four words: tragic and magnificent.

This may also be the Battle of Hengyang, which gives many ordinary people the most intuitive impression. How miserable is

?

The Battle of Hengyang is known as "China's Defense of Moscow."

This battle took place from June to August 1944. It was a city defense battle conducted by the soldiers and civilians of Hengyang, Hunan Province to resist the Japanese raids. That year, the Japanese army lost in the Pacific battlefield and the maritime transportation and supply lines were almost paralyzed.

The Japanese invaders formulated the "Operation Plan No. 1", invested heavily in troops, used armored divisions, and launched the largest offensive on the Chinese battlefield. Hengyang is in a key position and the goal can be won within 3 days.

The National Government ordered the Hengyang garrison to stand firm for 7 days and wait for rescue. The task of guarding Hengyang was given to the 10th Army commanded by Fang Xianjue. They had just participated in the Battle of Changde and suffered heavy losses. Before they had time to rest, they went to the front line again.

The 10th Army has only 17,000 troops, plus more than 4,000 Hengyang civilians, with a total strength of 18,000. Such an army with incomplete organization and insufficient strength has to resist the attack of the Japanese invaders' 110,000 troops.

No wonder that at the beginning of the war, the Japanese invaders boasted that they could take Hengyang in one day. The internal analysis of the national army was that they could hold it for 3 days, but Chiang Kai-shek ordered to hold it for 7 days.

However, one week after the agreement, the reinforcements "promised" by the Nationalist Government did not arrive.

When the reinforcements never arrived, Hengyang defended the city alone, causing the Japanese casualties three times that of our army and being blocked for forty-seven days.

What is magnificence?

These 47 days have demonstrated the dignity and spirit of Chinese soldiers.

Our soldiers and civilians fought bravely, ran out of ammunition and food, and suffered more than 16,000 casualties. When the city was broken, only a thousand people were left.

In the end, the Japanese army suffered 48,000 casualties. This battle was the only battle in the Anti-Japanese War in which the Japanese army had 6 times the strength of our troops and three times the casualty ratio. It was also the only time recorded in the history of Japanese war that the Japanese army suffered more casualties than the Chinese army. War example. Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo resigned due to this.A teacher at

wrote an article commenting on this battle: "The defenders of Hengyang were brave, and the people of Hengyang paid a heavy sacrifice."

This defense battle with a sad background, and the lonely and courageous gestures displayed by the soldiers and civilians of Hengyang have become eternal for the Chinese people. memory of the war of resistance.

director Kong Sheng once filmed "Battle of Changsha" based on the history of the Battle of Changsha, the Battle of Changde and the Battle of Hengyang, with a Douban score of 9.1.

Now, there is finally a movie that shows this period of history.

The second veil: the war scenes are moving.

There is nothing to say about the subject matter, so what exactly is the story of "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow"?

Through this 1 minute and 56 seconds trailer, we can outline the general outline of the story. From the beginning of the

trailer, the tragic and oppressive feeling of war immediately hit your face.

Outside Hengyang City, the Japanese troops were like wolves and tigers. They fired artillery from all fronts. The Japanese troops attacked the old city wall of Hengyang like a tide.

Japanese fighter planes blocked the sky and the sun.

The person in charge of the script is Liu Heping from Hengyang.

Liu Heping has written many high-scoring historical dramas such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Ming Dynasty 1566", "All Quiet in Peking", etc., but it can be imagined that as a Hengyang native who has heard the story of the Hengyang Defense War since childhood, this story must be The writing is extremely important.

Liu Heping spent 4 years.

How did Liu Heping finally present this story?

Combined with the trailer, two characteristics can be seen.

One is that the film directly describes the cruelty of war without any concealment.

For example: The scene that impressed me the most was a massive Japanese attack. The officers and soldiers defending the city of Hengyang fought bloody battles.

A soldier pounced directly on the attacking Japanese army and died together with the Japanese army.

In the picture, flesh and blood exploded directly in the air, making people burst into tears.

But this is the most real aspect of war. Watching the defenders and civilians resist the Japanese attack with their flesh and blood, I can feel the pain through the screen.

Another example: a frontal fighting scene. In the trailer of

, there are many scenes where our troops are fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy. The camera scheduling and editing are very good. Many of the hand-to-hand fight scenes are close-ups, which makes people feel suffocated when watching them.

However, only a close-up view of the sacrifices of Hengyang soldiers and civilians can show the greatest respect for that epic anti-Japanese war.

Secondly, the details are restored to the original and true history. There are no simple pictures to stimulate the audience.

In this film, many historical details can be seen. For example, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties after being unable to attack for a long time. In order to win, they did not hesitate to carry out poison gas warfare and A large number of planes were dispatched to carry out continuous and indiscriminate bombing of Hengyang. In the trailer of

, there was a scene where the Japanese army launched a poison gas war, and our soldiers and civilians covered their mouths with simple scarves and continued the bloody battle.

Our army shouted: poison gas bombs. It seems that he is used to the dirty tricks of the Japanese army.

The battle situation was extremely tragic.

For example, the veteran played by Wang Jinsong seems to be a transport soldier, but he also manages to fight against the Japanese army.

Even in the battle reports of the Japanese army, we can feel the heroic and tenacious resistance of our army. The "Final Decisive Battle of the Imperial Japanese Army" records our army as follows: "They were all determined to die, resisted in every corner, and defended every inch of territory. Their spirit of fighting in a lonely city was truly admirable. In the fierce battle that lasted for more than forty days, the enemy No one has surrendered to me yet.” In the trailer of

, the audience’s emotions are pushed to a climax layer by layer.

It is hard to imagine that a trailer can condense such a thick emotional density, making the audience's emotions go through a roller coaster-like ups and downs.

Whether it is the bloodshed of the soldiers, Yang Yang's final monologue or Wang Jinsong's angry shooting, people are instantly attracted to the drama. Such touching details are destined to trigger a crying storm.

It can be said that this 1 minute and 56 seconds trailer is not an understatement, but has flesh and blood. The trailers are so moving, and it is hard to imagine how moving the feature film will be.

The third veil: a feast of acting skills.

The selection of actors in the film can be described as "the lineup is extremely neat".

powerful factions include Yu Hewei, Wang Jinsong, Li Guangjie, Tan Kai, Cao Lei, etc.

Young actors include Yang Yang and Yin Fang. The actress is Wan Qian.

The first is Yu Hewei.

I was worried about the hero he played, General Fang Xianjue, at first. Yu Hewei's acting skills are of course unquestionable, but Yu Hewei's image and temperament are still relatively elegant. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to play General Fang, who mobilizes his troops in desperate situations. momentum.

It wasn’t until the trailer that I saw how amazing the emotional explosion in Yu Hewei’s film was. Worrying too much, really worrying too much. In the trailer of

, General Fang, played by Yu Hewei, has a dialogue scene with all the soldiers. During the bloody battle in the isolated city, with the sound of rain, Fang Xianjue asked the soldiers again and again: Can any brother tell me, how many days have we been guarding?

How many days have we been guarding?

Although the camera shows a panoramic view and does not include a close-up of Hewei, I can definitely feel that the character has tears on his brows and fire in his eyes. With the powerful power output, my heart was suddenly stabbed. In an instant I got goosebumps all over my body.

But this question got the response of "It's raining" from the soldiers. A few days is not important, just fight until the last moment.

As soon as this line came out, the whole army was determined to defend the city to the death and live and die with Hengyang City. Needless to say.

There is also Wang Jinsong. In the past, he participated in Anti-Japanese War themes, and most of them were literati with integrity. This time he played the role of soldiers and civilians defending the city, fighting bloody battles with a crane gun. The national integrity deep in his bones is unforgettable.

Wan Qian’s look in desperate situation is equally touching.

It can be seen that what Liu Heping created must be a group portrait.

Traditional war movies will concentrate all the characteristics of the characters on the protagonist, but this film must focus on the unknown heroes in Hengyang City.

Many characters may have their own famous scenes.

Because this is the defense of Hengyang by the Tenth Army, the defense of Hengyang by the people of Hengyang, and the defense of Hengyang by the Chinese military and civilians.

In the Hengyang Defense Battle Memorial Hall, there is a photo titled "Part of the Remains of the Fallen Soldiers of the Tenth Army Army's Hengyang Defense Battle". This photo taken in 1946 shows the remains of more than 3,000 soldiers collected on the battlefield after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The skull is in the middle and other skeletons are placed on both sides.

The soldiers shed blood, and this magnificent battle was possible.

is written at the end

As the above three layers of mystery are gradually unveiled, the outline of "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" gradually becomes clear.

In domestic theaters in recent years, war blockbusters have become a box office staple.

"Changjin Lake" and "Water Gate Bridge" topped the annual box office list with box office receipts of 5.7 billion and 4 billion respectively. Behind the box office success of

, in addition to the wonderful war scenes, what moved the audience more importantly was the deep feelings of family and country.

For example, "The Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" is an epic that objectively and positively describes the bloody battle of the Chinese soldiers against the Japanese. It is still unforgettable.

In "Eight Hundred", there is a battle scene where 800 warriors guard the Sixing Warehouse. The soldiers died with great pride and heroic spirit.

"Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" has too many touching historical facts and details.

Let’s talk about General Fang Xianjue’s last call.

After 47 days of guarding and running out of ammunition and food, the last telegram sent by Fang Xianjue touched people's hearts every word: "The enemy broke into the city from the north this morning, and street fighting started in the city. Our officers and soldiers suffered all casualties. No more. There are no soldiers to block the attack, and the rank and file swear to serve the country with their own lives and do their duty as soldiers. This attack may be the last one. See you in the next life..."

How much box office volume can "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" achieve?

I think it will undoubtedly break the box office record for summer war movies, at least 3 billion. Whether it can reach 5 billion or even 6 billion, which is the box office ceiling for domestic war films, depends on word of mouth.

Why do we talk about box office? Because the higher the box office, it proves that the more viewers are in attendance, the more people will see the Hengyang defense battle written by Liu Heping.

In that battle, the Chinese military and civilians used their flesh and blood to shape the backbone of China. History should be remembered by everyone.

In that battle, I was worthy of my family and country.

Our ancestors shed their lives and blood, and we dare not forget them!
