Chapter 802: An eldest brother is like a father, just treat him as a son
The first trailer of "Changjin Lake" completely ignited the enthusiasm of movie fans.
As mentioned earlier, Li Yi has not directed a movie with such a large scene before, so many movie fans are still more or less skeptical.
However, although the trailer of "Changjin Lake" is only just over a minute, it has greatly dispelled the suspicion of many movie fans, because just watching the trailer, although the big scene only passed by in a blink of an eye,
But it still shocked countless people.
It can be regarded as a reassurance for movie fans!
Of course, the trailer also left many plot lines.
Although in the trailer, the characters' temperaments and relationships are only shown in one scene, a few lines, or even a flash of detail.
But it is these moments that flesh out the characters and make people stand up.
You can even see the character's growth.
Guan Xiaoshan's character, one second ago, was as stubborn as a child; the next second, he changed from a big boy who was not afraid of anything to a warrior who knew what death was but was even more determined to fight.
After the trailer was released, many movie fans couldn't wait. Many fans even said that they had watched the trailer n times, but the more they watched, the more they became thirsty.
It's impossible to push the release date or anything like that, so fans just settle for the next best thing and hope that more trailers can be released.
This time, Li Yi was not scolded.
A trailer is released almost every few days, and each trailer has a different content and focus.
The release of these trailers has completely reassured movie fans, and at the same time raised their expectations for the movie "Changjin Lake" to the highest point!
The eve of National Day is coming.
Li Yi and the creative members were once again invited to the "Movie Things" column group of Jingnan TV Station.
Accept an interview with Fang Nan and share the story behind the movie.
"Welcome everyone to watch "Movie Things" exclusively broadcast by xxx. I am the host Fang Nan. In this episode, we are fortunate to invite the most anticipated epic war movie "Changjin Lake" this year.
》The main creative members, let us give you warm applause, please..."
Li Yi and other creative members all walked out one after another.
The applause at the scene was extremely warm.
"Let's watch a trailer of "Changjin Lake" first."
After the trailer was played, the audience burst into roaring applause again.
Fang Nan and Li Yi can be said to be old acquaintances who are very familiar with each other. Therefore, there was no warm-up, and Fang Nan directly entered the topic.
"Is this the first time Director Li has made such a large-scale film with big scenes?" Fang Nan asked.
"Not bad!" Li Yi nodded.
"So what do you think is the most important thing in making a movie like this? Or what do you think is the most difficult thing?"
"There are two points. The first point is the layout. When I first started making this film, what I was most worried about was whether the layout of the film could reproduce the vast eastern battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
At that time, the 13th Corps of the Fourth Field and the 13th Corps, the main force of the first batch of volunteers to enter the DPRK, were all deployed on the western front battlefield, while the 9th Corps of the 3rd Field and the 9th Corps of the second batch of volunteers to enter the DPRK were responsible for the Eastern Front.
However, the Ninth Corps had been preparing to cross the sea in the subtropical region of the south. When they received an urgent order to enter North Korea, a large number of soldiers did not have time to change their clothes and rushed into North Korea in single clothes and pants. The temperature was over minus 30 degrees and the lowest was minus 45 degrees.
battlefield.
In the end, it was this group of soldiers who achieved a miracle in world military history. The First World War completely shattered the U.S. military's attempts on the Eastern Front. The First Marine Division, the U.S.'s number one main force, withdrew from the battlefield with heavy casualties.
If "Changjin Lake" is to be filmed, the overall picture of the battle must be captured. This is where I feel most unsure.
The second point is that movies always tell stories. There were too many stories that happened in the Battle of Changjin Lake, so we must have a good entry point.
And I think the most worthwhile thing about "Changjin Lake" is not only this grand battle, but also taking the audience to know those people of flesh and blood, and taking the audience to witness, who is the cutest person?
It's not that you can fly and escape because of your steel and iron bones; it's that you know the pain of injury and the horror of death, but you still stand up to protect the country behind you and regard death as home.
Because, they have a common name - the Chinese People's Volunteers. They have a common belief - to protect the homeland and the country.
Therefore, the movie must create a group of vivid individuals so that the greatness of this battle can be three-dimensional and believable.
This is the number of martyrs who died in this war.
Among them are the three "Ice Sculpture Companies" who died heroically in the Battle of Changjin Lake because they were walking on ice and lying in the snow, and the temperature was too low.
It also includes the soldier who wrote this letter home: "I love my relatives and my motherland, and I love my honor even more. I am a glorious volunteer soldier."
Therefore, if we want to truly make this film, we must let the film illuminate them like a beam of light, and let the past history flow into the eyes of this generation of viewers."
"So do you think "Changjin Lake" has achieved it?" Fang Nan asked.
"It doesn't matter what I think. The key is to see what the audience thinks after watching the movie." Li Yi said with a smile.
Of course, it was impossible for Fang Nan to catch Li Yi asking endless questions, so he quickly changed his target.
Turning the topic to the protagonists of the film, the first thing I asked was Lin Yunbin and Guan Xiaoshan: "Yunbin and Xiaoshan play a pair of brothers in the movie, and they are also brothers with the Seventh Company. How did you do that?"
, what distinguishes these two different kinds of brotherhood?"
This question is more interesting.
Lin Yunbin plays Wu Qianli in the movie, the commander of the Seventh Company, while the Wu Qianli played by Guan Xiaoshan is not only his biological brother, but also a soldier of the Seventh Company. They have the same brotherly love, but the two are definitely different.
of.
It is indeed very difficult for actors to perform the kind of brotherhood that is different from that of comrades-in-arms and that of biological brothers.
Especially when filming, how to show that kind of emotion also makes the audience very curious.
"Actually, if I had worked really hard back then, my son would have been this big. To be honest, it was really difficult to tell them apart at first." Lin Yunbin said with a smile.
"For example, in the parting scene at the beginning, I was never able to express the feelings of reluctance and love naturally at first. Later, Director Li made a suggestion to me." Lin Yunbin threw out another hook.
What everyone is curious about.
"What suggestions?" Fang Nan looked at Li Yi and asked.
"I asked him, don't you have a son? Just think of him as your son. There is a saying that elder brothers are like fathers. Some emotions are actually common." Li Yi said with a smile.
Everyone in the studio was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
It really is!
The elder brother is like the father, so there is nothing wrong with letting Lin Yunbin take care of Guan Xiaoshan and assume the role of his son.
"There is a scene in the film where after I came home and saw Wan Li, I lovingly rubbed Wan Li's face into a "bun face." This is actually an action I often do when playing with my son. So I put this
This kind of life experience was put into the movie. At that time, I thought that I was about to go to the battlefield. If this was my son... I would feel sour when I thought about it and tears would flow out. Maybe it's because I'm getting older."
