When Li Yi and Mu Qing returned to Hong Kong Island, it was already September.
On the third day after the wedding, Li Yi and Mu Qing went on a honeymoon trip together and had a lot of fun for a month.
In fact, I could have played it for a while longer, but there is no way. Although "Westward Journey" has been released a long time ago, and although the box office is not as high as many people imagined, it can be considered a big hit. The key is,
This movie set many records.
Not only has the box office exceeded 100 million in a single day for 20 consecutive days, but it has also created the most movie-related discussion topics.
And the golden sayings in it are even more widely circulated.
The number of people who have rated it on the popular film review website has exceeded 3 million, and the rating has increased slightly to 9.1 points, making "Westward Journey" definitely a masterpiece with good reputation.
However, in terms of box office, "Westward Journey" did not win the box office championship in the summer season.
The box office championship was won by "Sniper Below Zero", a movie with the main theme of Li Yi's fellow student Tang Lu.
What’s interesting is that “Sniper Below Zero” is also a film based on the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. However, compared to “Changjin Lake”, “Sniper Below Zero” shows personal heroism, focusing more on individuals rather than the whole.
Li Yi ended his honeymoon trip this time mainly because the National Day is approaching and "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is about to be released.
Although compared with the tortuous promotion process of "Journey to the West", it can be said that the film "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" will hardly have any such problems. But after all, the movie is about to be released, and Li Yi
The director also definitely needs to cooperate with the promotion.
However, the treatment of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is definitely not comparable to that of "Westward Journey".
Not to mention anything else, the salary of domestic theme movies in recent years is indeed high.
In addition, it is on the National Day schedule and is the second part of "Changjin Lake". Therefore, this movie itself is the most anticipated domestically produced war movie with the main theme this year.
Even the film "Sniper Below Zero" was originally planned to be released on the National Day schedule, but in order to avoid "Watergate Bridge", it was selected as a summer release.
After "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" was scheduled to be released on the National Day, many heavyweight movies, not only "Sniper Below Zero", have avoided the National Day release.
This also makes the National Day schedule, which can almost be said to be dominated by "Cangjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge". Although there are several new films released in the same period, they are basically not the key projects of major companies.
After all, they can still try a movie like "Journey to the West", but the movie "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" is the sequel, or the second half, of "Changjin Lake", which set a box office record for Chinese-language movies.
With the success of the previous film itself, the possibility of the sequel itself being a hit is very low, not to mention that "Watergate Bridge" and "Changjin Lake" were filmed at the same time, the style is in the same vein, and the plot is also a continuation of the first film.
Movies, no one would be so determined to touch them.
The publicity for "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" had already started before Li Yi came back.
The promotion of sequel movies is very different from other original movies.
For example, in the upper part of "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge", Wu Qianli, Wu Wanli brothers, Mei Sheng, Yu Congrong, Pinghe and other soldiers of the Seventh Company were interspersed, and when they sacrificed, countless people shed tears.
Thunder God and so on, but they are all still vivid in my mind.
Their story is not over yet. When "Changjin Lake" was released earlier, many movie fans already had a deep understanding of these characters.
So the thing to do for publicity is relatively simple, and because "Sniper Sub-Zero", a movie with the same background, was a hit in the summer and won a lot of box office, so instead, it was given to "Changjin Lake: Suimen Bridge"
Another wave of warm-ups came.
When "Changjin Lake" was released last year, it was obvious to everyone that there were many sequels to the characters' stories.
"First Evolution"
For example, when the Seventh Company is interspersed, in "Changjin Lake" there is only the sacrifice of Lei Gong, and in the entire battle in the first part, there is only the destruction of the polar bear group;
Even the most touching deeds of Bing Lian and Company Commander Yang were mentioned at the very end of the movie, leaving many viewers with unfinished business.
Therefore, after watching the movie, many movie fans are asking whether there is a second part of "Changjin Lake".
"Watergate Bridge" has been announced to be scheduled for this year's National Day release earlier. For this reason, the attraction and attention to this film have actually never been a problem.
As "Changjin Lake" was released during the National Day holiday last year, and its popularity was phenomenal, and during the release period, information related to this war began to gradually become more widely known.
Many movie fans know and understand the plot of "Changjin Lake". It is indeed only the first half, because the battle of "Changjin Lake" is only the tip of the iceberg of this war; at the end of "Changjin Lake"
The Easter eggs in the trailer also let the audience understand that the second half of "Watergate Bridge" is the real highlight.
Anyone who has some knowledge of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea knows that the stories of Bingwither Company and Captain Yang actually happened during the subsequent sniper attack on the First Marine Division.
At the same time, after the promotion of the "Watergate Bridge" movie was launched, people on the Internet and even on TV stations began to popularize this battle for the audience!
Specifically focusing on the most tragic battle among them, let the audience know that in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the most tragic battle was not the previous battle of annihilating the Polar Bear Regiment, but the later "Three Explosions of Watergate Bridge" battle
, after the Polar Bear Regiment was destroyed by our volunteer regiment, the First Division of the US Army began to flee south, and the Watergate Bridge was the only way for them to escape.
Both our army and the enemy knew this at that time.
If the enemy army cannot pass through the Watergate Bridge smoothly, what awaits them is the fate of being wiped out by the volunteers.
Therefore, the enemy sent heavy troops to protect the Watergate Bridge, and our volunteers received orders from their superiors: blow up the Watergate Bridge at all costs!
That's why there was the tragic "Three Bombings of the Watergate Bridge", but the Watergate Bridge was bombed twice; the US military still used advanced industrial technology to repair the bridge again. The enemy and ourselves launched a desperate struggle around the Watergate Bridge.
The goal of our army is to blow up the Watergate Bridge at all costs, while the US military aims to protect the Watergate Bridge at all costs because it is their lifeline.
In fact, this battle was originally an inconspicuous battle. Of course, the inconspicuous battle mentioned here refers to the entire large-scale battle. It seems that this is just a battle that was carried out partially around the Watergate Bridge.
But it was one of the most tense moments for the Volunteer Army, which once put the U.S. military into a desperate situation, and the entire course of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was almost changed because of this war.
This war was the Battle of Changjin Lake that took place in November 1950. In this battle, the Volunteer Army bombed Shuimen Bridge three times in order to prevent the U.S. military from withdrawing. So how did the U.S. Army respond to these three bombings by the Volunteer Army? What about the Volunteer Army?
How was it carried out step by step? What was the result for both the enemy and the enemy?
These are what the audience is looking forward to, and these will also be shown to the audience in "Changjin Lake: Shuimen Bridge" through the perspective of Qilian.
