Chapter 347 'The Great Cause of National Founding'
September 15, 6 pm, National Olympic Sports Center.
The premiere ceremony of the film "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, starring hundreds of celebrities, will be held here.
This is also the first time a movie has a premiere ceremony at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
An "Avenue of Stars" was paved outside the venue, and the roadside was full of billboards with movie posters.
Although the previous nationality incident affected the movie a little, the premiere still started smoothly.
It’s impossible to describe the huge crowds of people outside the scene. At this time, the sky had begun to darken, but dozens of high-power lights were temporarily installed outside, which was enough to illuminate the scene into daylight.
Almost all the well-known artists in the industry came, from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. All the major companies came to support the show, and the celebrity atmosphere was no less than the awards ceremony.
Hundreds of celebrities and industry insiders walked past, and the cheers on both sides never stopped.
Tang An waved and walked into the infield. He was also one of the film directors, so he went in first as he was half the host.
The stage has been set up in the infield, which is much more luxurious than ordinary movie premieres. It has the feeling of a large concert.
Tang An first went to meet Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.
"Director Han, Mr. Huang."
Han Sanping was talking to two leaders who looked like him. He turned around and smiled, "Director Tang is here."
After that, he asked two people to invite the leader to sit down first.
Tang An glanced around and said, "Dr. Han, your premiere was really grand."
Han Sanping was also modest, "I have been busy for half a year, but I am just waiting for the day when it will be released."
At seven o'clock in the evening, the premiere officially begins, but there are some performances on stage before that.
There are about a thousand seats in the infield. Other spectators and media without tickets are in the stands on three sides, and Han Sanping does not prohibit onlookers.
The main gift film is different. The bands on both sides of the stage are all sent by the art troupe of the Beijing Military Region. Although it is not as good as the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department, it is still a second-level art troupe.
In the opening song, the little girl singing has a sweet voice, but unfortunately it is still the kind of voice that has been modified and re-modified along the lines of the Children's Palace. It makes people sigh that the current education of children's voices in China is ruining people.
At first I felt a bit like Lin Miaoke, but after taking a closer look, I realized that it was not the case. However, the voice lines of the two were very consistent and had no personal characteristics. This is also a characteristic of Children's Palace education.
There are various group dances, piano solos, singing, and a few more appropriate sketches and stage plays.
After each performance was completed, the movie started.
The movie opens with Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou on the plane going to Chongqing for negotiations.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, anti-war sentiment among all classes, parties, and the broad masses of the people increased.
Therefore, under the mediation of democratic and patriotic people Zhang Ran and others, our party represented by *** and the Kuomintang represented by Chang Kaishen kicked off the Chongqing negotiations.
In order to show sincerity, our party voluntarily gave up part of the occupied liberated areas. However, the Kuomintang had no intention of establishing a democratic government. Instead, it drove away the democratic parties and gradually led to the demise of the military dictatorship.
The Kuomintang launched a bloody massacre against democrats under white terror, and a large number of patriotic democrats were killed. This move was strongly opposed by all parties led by our party.
In a scene involving the famous patriotic general Feng Yuxiang, he broke into Chang Kaishen's house in broad daylight holding a white lantern and demanded to see Chang Kaishen.
After being rejected, he said angrily: "This world is too dark, I'm afraid I can't see."
It is enough to show how terrifying the current situation was at that time, and General Feng was also killed by Kuomintang agents.
To be honest, when Tang An saw this movie for the first time, he thought Brother Chen Kai played Mr. Zhu. At that time, he thought the costumes and the location were wrong and he thought it was strange.
The movie basically follows several major historical events, such as the Chongqing Negotiations, the Double Ten Agreement, the Xiaochangkou Incident, the Battle of Liaoshen, the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River, the establishment of the capital in Peking, the Political Consultative Conference, the Founding Ceremony... .
It is impossible for all of the more than 130 actors to appear, and the scenes of more than 50 people have been deleted.
In addition to some historical celebrities, there are also many actors playing reporters, unknown veterans, and National People's Congress representatives.
In addition to the lack of separation of roles, it also has the meaning of national unity, which can be found in all walks of life.
Although the movie is very official, it still has some touching plots.
After the Huaihai Battle, Mao, Zhou, Ren, Zhu and other revolutionary leaders heard the news that our army had achieved a complete victory at the end of the battle. Mao Zedong said that there would be no more major wars north of the Yangtze River.
So, the scene where several men who changed the history of China, four men who changed the destiny of China, drank together and sang together when they were drunk was very touching.
At that moment, the memories of the hardships they had experienced over the past decades, scene after scene, burst out the emotions in their hearts.
Five encirclements and suppressions, breaking through the blockade, vast snowy mountains, long grasslands, and countless people's lives have brought about this moment of revolutionary turning point. They could no longer restrain their feelings and started singing, drinking, and crying, Laugh, jump...
During the liberation of the magical city, the soldiers were tired from fighting and did not occupy private houses. Instead, they slept neatly on the road together.
This is our dearest person - the People's Neighborhood Army of China.
Standing on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, Mao Zedong solemnly said, The Chinese people have stood up! From now on, the Chinese people have become the masters, and a brand-new country stands in the east of the world.
On the other side of the treasure island, the sad figure of Chang Kaishen is lonely...
...
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
When the movie ended, the audience at the scene and in the stands did not hesitate to applaud.
The movie has a fast pace and is more commercial than ordinary theme movies, and it brings together many veteran actors in the industry to compete with each other and their acting skills are absolutely wonderful.
The same goes for the industry insiders in the front row, who all clapped their hands with excitement.
The applause stopped, and three hosts, one man and two women, came on stage, namely Wen Pei, Zhu Jun, and Tu Wei.
Forget about the two movie channel hosts, it was the first time for Zhu Jun to host the premiere ceremony of a movie, which shows the high regard for this movie.
Han Sanping, Huang Jianxin, Tang An, Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guoli, Chen Kaige, Chen Daoming and others came on stage one after another.
Because there were too many people, we had to go in batches.
As usual, Han Sanping talked about the truth and the difficulties during the filming, then Huang Jianxin, and then Tang An.
Everything you want to say has been prepared in advance, so you can’t say it randomly.
Most of the media in the audience have said hello, so there won't be any disharmony.
A reporter asked Tang An an interesting question, saying what it was like when he was narrating plays for directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen.
Tang An smiled and said, "Actually, there are many similar things on the set, including Teacher Tang Guoqiang and Teacher Zhang Guoli. They have also been directors. There are directors everywhere on the set. You can take a look at our behind-the-scenes."
Then the big screen at the back lit up again.
At the filming scene, you can see Han Sanping talking to Feng Xiaogang who is sitting on a rickshaw, Zhang Guoli talking to Chen Kaige, Chen Kun, Tang An leaning on the car talking to Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming talking to Wang Xiaoming, and Fan
Wei, Zhang Hanyu tells the story.
The audience suddenly felt very interesting, as if everyone had become a director, which they had never seen before.
Han Sanping couldn't help it. The three of them were simply too busy. Everyone who had been a director came to make a cameo.
Although they are not very professional, people like Zhang Guoli, who have been filming movies for decades, understand everything on the set very thoroughly. Students in the directing department of the film school are not as good as others.
The premiere lasted until around 11 p.m., and one of the indoor venues in the Olympic Sports Center was used as a hotel and set up as a reception venue.
"Director Han, the audience's response has been very enthusiastic. Our movie is considered a success." Tang An congratulated.
Han Sanping laughed and said, "Thanks to Director Tang, if the box office is good, we will give everyone a supplementary salary. I can't let your hard work go in vain."
"You're welcome, Director Han. It's an honor for me to be able to participate in the filming of this movie."
"Director Tang has been so helpful this time. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."
Han Sanping squinted his eyes and said politely, obviously in a good mood.
Tang An also took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I will no longer be polite to Director Han. I will inevitably ask you for help in the future."
