Chapter 899: The smoke rises, the country looks north (1/2)
"Ma Sanpao, get up, get up!"
"What are you doing?"
"Gather! We are about to set off!"
The large screen projected at the press conference was just like playing movies in the past. The fluorescent light projected by the projector was playing the first promotional video of "My Motherland" - "Serving the Country with Loyalty"!
At the beginning, the dark faces of the soldiers flashed by, and it was not difficult to identify one of them. One of them was the lead actor He Yanbing who was sitting on the scene! However, the screen soon showed the busy troops holding red flags and wearing khaki military uniforms of that era.
And neatly shuttled around the railway and various supplies.
The night sky was getting thicker, and the thin mist was like a giant beast, swallowing up the long queue and the end of the train with no end in sight. But no one was timid. The troops moved out in an orderly manner, and there was a team in each carriage.
As we boarded the train one by one, a solemn and tense atmosphere filled the air!
Although there was no dialogue between the characters for the time being, the soundtrack melody played by the bugles in the background still lifted the spirits of the reporters watching.
"Brother, I want to be a soldier!"
The image of "young" He Yanbing with his head lowered appeared on the screen again.
"Why are you going to be a soldier? Why don't you go to college?"
An arm pushed his thin shoulder.
The camera then switched back to the crowded carriage. He Yanbing was holding the baggage simply, his lips were pale, and his eyes were uneasy. It seemed that he was not fully mentally prepared for the cruel battlefield that was about to come.
But he is not the only one who is nervous?
"Old Yao, have you written a suicide note?"
A younger soldier asked a veteran next to him with a trembling voice.
"Write a suicide note, labor and management will not only beat the Americans to pieces, but also come back alive!"
Lao Yao spoke with a thick dialect accent and spoke vulgarly but forcefully.
"But in a war, there will be no deaths. Otherwise, why would it be our turn?"
The young soldier's voice dropped.
They all understand that a large number of sacrifices have been made on the front line, so they need to continue to replenish their troops!
But his words were still heard by his comrades in the carriage. Some looked disdainful, and some were indeed anxious.
He Yanbing seemed to be unable to bear this depressing feeling, so he stood up suddenly.
"Ma Sanpao, what are you doing?"
The squad leader stretched out his hand and pulled him.
But he did not sit down, but sang solemnly in the shaking carriage:
"When the smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north,
The dragon rises and curls up, the horse neighs, the sword aura is like frost."
The squad leader took his hand back silently.
At first, it was just He Yanbing who sang softly with a hoarse voice, but soon, more and more soldiers in the same carriage started singing together.
"Hateful and mad, the long sword is directed at
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign land?”
A group of soldiers looked at each other as if encouraging each other and sang loudly. Even the timid young soldiers sang so emotionally that veins were exposed on their necks.
When the camera turned again, there were already beacon fires everywhere, snow covered the mountains, and He Yanbing and his comrades were crawling like monuments of snowdrifts!
The sound of music in the background replaced the rumbling cannons, and a masculine, strong, and domineering voice also replaced Ma Sanpao and the others, and continued to sing the song "Serve the Country with Loyalty"! (Note 1)
"Why should I die to serve my family and country?
I couldn’t bear to sigh and was speechless, but my eyes were filled with blood and tears.”
The movies made by Yang Chuanrong have always been either meticulous and sincere in emotion, or they are grand and majestic!
This feature can also be reflected in the promotional video.
In the picture, there were soldiers frozen into ice sculptures, and He Yanbing, who was pale, could only wipe away the tears of anger and rush out with the large army all over the mountains and plains!
"The horse hoofs to the south and people look north,
When one looks north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying."
The sonorous and powerful voice of the singer cheered people up from the sad mood, and the figures of the volunteers who were advancing one after another, although they looked very fragile under the artillery fire, they still moved forward tenaciously, as if they were going to extinguish the flames of the enemy in front with their flesh and blood!
This scene was tragic but tragic, and it also echoed the chorus of "Serve the Country with Loyalty", and the audience's emotions were suddenly ignited.
"I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders,
The dignified China wants all parties to come and congratulate you!"
The camera did not show a large-scale image of China's current prosperity, but returned to a close-up shot. It was a mutilated hand tremblingly opening a yellowed notebook, with rows of records framed by red pens.
The names that came up. Then interspersed were those figures with bloody flesh and unyielding eyes.
"My Motherland" is a film that lasts more than three hours. It not only describes the tragedy of that war, it also tells the story of the major changes in our country since the 75th anniversary and the changes in the living environment through the perspective of ordinary people.
Changes show the extraordinary contributions made by ordinary people to the country!
Ma Sanpao, played by He Yanbing, is an important character that connects the stories of several eras.
The first trailer released by Yang Chuanrong today obviously wants to reveal this magnificent epic scroll to the audience through Ma Sanpao, played by He Yanbing.
The scenes later in the trailer are also previewing the plot direction of the next trailer.
However, due to the previous plot and the exaggeration of "Serving the Country with Loyalty", the reporters at the press conference did not bother to carefully evaluate the plot clues in it, and were already immersed in this tragic atmosphere.
At the same time, they are also filled with righteous indignation. There is a feeling of serving the country like these ordinary soldiers, "Why should I die to serve my country?" They only want to "defend the land and reopen the frontiers"!
"This song was sung by Chang Weiguo!"
After watching the two-minute trailer, a reporter took a long breath and muttered to a friend next to him with certainty.
It is indeed Chang Weiguo!
And in fact, not only he could hear it, but all the entertainment reporters present, as long as they didn't care too much about the music circle, could tell that the voice of "Loyalty to the Country" was Chang Weiguo's!
So obvious!
Among the high-pitched male singers in the Chinese music scene, there are not many who are as strong and masculine as him, and even fewer who are as domineering as him, who opens his mouth like a heroic and powerful general in ancient times!
Because of his unique voice characteristics, Yang Qian decided to give this song to Chang Weiguo to sing after several discussions with Yang Chuanrong.
You know, at that time, there were many tenors who recorded demos for Yang Qian and Yang Chuanrong, including those who had a good relationship with Yang Qian. Later, they even invited Yang Qian’s teacher Chai Jiang to audition, but in the end they chose Chang Wei
country.
Needless to say, Yang Qian was under great pressure from people!
But fortunately, Chai Jiang has gradually faded out of the current music scene due to health reasons. He will not blame Yang Qian, and even helps Yang Qian set an example.
Chai Jiang himself doesn’t even have to sing, so others shouldn’t even think about using connections to find backdoors!
