Jiang Wen even felt a little embarrassed.
His role is not that many. It is a gathering of stars. Some of the roles are played by big names, but many of them do not even have a single line.
Jiang Wen was a little unhappy with this role at first.
He took a fancy to the role of Feng Yuxiang.
The same is true for Chen Kaige.
In the end, Su Yi regarded it as "two people don't help each other" and didn't give it to the two of them.
One is Fu Zuoyi and the other is Mao Renfeng.
"It's good. It would be nice to have a role."
Zhou Yun is quite envious because she is not in the role list this time.
At the beginning of the reception, Yang Mi had already appeared, a reporter.
Wearing relatively fashionable clothes from the Republic of China period, Sun Honglei was assigned some scenes and lines.
Zhou Yun feels that she is more suitable for such a role.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who made Su Yi the director?
Previous news about Jianguo Daye’s casting spread spread throughout the entertainment industry, and Su Yi’s phone was almost flooded with calls.
Su Yi only designated three people, namely the three Kuangbiao girls.
In fact, he didn't help the girls much, and the later movies didn't forcefully assign roles to them.
That is, in Parasite, a role was assigned to Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei's image was also changed a lot.
The remaining friends such as Zhang Songwen were given roles based on their characteristics as actors.
In that casting, Jiang Wen was asked to try out Mao Renfeng, and was scolded by Su Yi at that time.
Later Jiang Wen found Su Yi privately and talked about this matter. He was planning not to take up the role, not because of what he said, but because he felt that Mao Renfeng was not suitable for him.
Su Yi only said a few words and made Jiang Wen change his mind.
“First, you can say dirty words.”
“Second, Director Chen will be your little brother.”
Jiang Wen even hugged Su Yi in an exaggerated way , and even said, "Brother, you have made my dream come true!"
Although these two sentences are not many, they directly hit the opponent's weakness.
Jiang Wen had to agree.
Zhou Yun on the side saw a smile on Jiang Wen's face, and felt funny in her heart.
That is, Su Yi could convince her arrogant husband.
Director Chen is wearing a uniform and sunglasses. Despite his age, he still looks very upright.
This time, Jiang Wen was satisfied.
"Go, kill Zhang Lan!"
Jiang Wen lit his cigarette, completely different from the caution and respect he had shown in front of Zhang Guoli just now.
The characters they play are historical figures that are only recorded in books. Many people don’t even know who Director Mao is and what he did.
But in this movie, these veteran actors made some of the actors lively!
“Is it public or secret?”
Director Chen's acting skills are as superb as ever.
Jiang Wen flicked the cigarette casually.
"Hey - how could he make such a thing public?"
"Understood!"
The audience laughed when they heard this.
But what caught the audience's attention the most was Feng Xiaogang's performance of Du Yuesheng.
The audience was extremely moved by the appearance of the Magic City at that time, as well as the crumbling Empire State Building, as well as Du Yuesheng's episode here.
And Su Yi also enhanced the shots here.
Small traders were blackmailed by the law enforcers at the time, some were beaten in the street, and some soldiers showed off their power.
As well as various special departments: random arrests of Central Command, Military Command, etc.
Although Feng Xiaogang's costume is terrifying, it can't compare to the ferocity of these people!
This time, Su Yi showed more inside information after being authorized.
"This time in Jingguo, we will only fight **, not flies!"
The slogan was loud, and the economy of the Magic City in that era was on the verge of collapse.
Zhang Guoli sighed before coming.
Magic City, this is the economic center! Such a city is on the verge of collapse!
"You are lying! In 1937, this 100 French currency could buy two cows! In 1945, it could only buy two eggs! This year, it can only buy one-sixth of the solid soap!"
< br>Countless people said angrily, and many narration voices came from the side.
What they got in exchange was the ruthless pursuit of plainclothes agents.
The audience watched with horror. Many people had only heard about the economic crisis, currency devaluation and other things in the news.
After all, most of the people watching are ordinary people.
But after watching these plots this time, the hearts of the audience trembled.
This section adds Zhou Xingchi’s plot.
From the beginning to now, the actors have performed very well, but what is even more outstanding is the directors!
This Zhou Xingchi who was originally rejected, Su Yi gave him a chance this time.
Zhou Xingchi was wearing shabby jeans, and his face looked full of vicissitudes of life. Because of the close-up shot, many viewers watched for a while before exclaiming in surprise.
“Isn’t this Zhou Xingchi?”
I really can’t recognize him.
The same is true for Feng Xiaogang in the cinema. They were not filmed together because everyone was very busy. They almost finished filming and went off to work separately.
Even if he had time, Feng Xiaogang did not want to be under the same roof as Zhou Xingchi.
I was a little surprised to see Zhou Xingchi's state this time. Is this still the father of nonsensical comedy?
He held a wad of money, the money he had earned through hard work for a month.
But you can only get a little bit of food in exchange, and you don’t even have money to buy meat!
He looked at his home in despair, not knowing how to face his wife and daughter.
There are people on the side promoting it.
"The *** are all monsters. They will force you to give up your wives and others -"
"Hold on, everyone, Mr. Jingguo is coming to rectify the economy!"
< br>"Don't hide gold and silver dollars privately. The National Government has special machines that can detect them! If you exchange them yourself, you can get more money. If you are discovered, they will be confiscated directly! Shoot them!"
The filming of this section was not only about giving face to Zhou Xingchi. In fact, with Su Yi's current status, there were too many actors to choose from. Even the godfathers of movies in Hong Kong gave Su Yi face, let alone Zhou Xingchi, who was not popular.
But Su Yi feels that Zhou Xingchi's performance in Yangtze River No. 7 is still suitable for this role.
There’s a lot of description, but it’s actually only a very short scene.
But it is this back view that makes people feel sad.
In fact, there would not be such equipment in that era, but the people were extremely afraid and took the initiative to hand over silver coins.
Even in the early morning, I was blocked at the door of the bank, with fear and uneasiness on my face.
Many viewers clenched their fists and their eye circles became red. This shot made people feel the same.
That kind of powerlessness and fear makes people feel sad.
In troubled times, there is no reason!
It is clear at a glance what the Republic of China government was like at that time!
The camera turned and Mr. Jiang, played by Chen Kun, appeared.
First explain the social contradictions at that time, and then talk about the methods of the so-called "National Government"!
The right person will get many help, but the wrong person will get little help!
This is a brand new movie directed by Su Yi, The Founding of the People's Republic of China!
The role of Stephen Chow can be regarded as the one with the most scenes in the movie. Chen Kun has left Rong Xinda, and Su Yi agreed to his self-recommendation and agreed to his performance.
He lived up to expectations and started a legendary rivalry scene with Du Yuesheng, played by Feng Xiaogang.
In fact, the plot is very simple. In order to prevent the economic collapse of the Magic City, Chiang Ching-kuo replaced all currencies with gold yuan coupons, but he did not recognize the previous legal currency and could only exchange them with gold bars, silver dollars, and oceans. In order to reassure the people and build his reputation , using some financial officials of the National Government, especially unimportant officials, as well as those so-called "societies" with no real backing. After this operation, they gained huge popularity among the people, and were even called Qingtian. !
And Du Yuesheng's son was arrested and came to find Mr. Jingguo in person, revealing Qingtian's identity and naming the companies related to Mrs. Chiang!
This plot lasted about 7 minutes, until Master Jingguo sadly left the scene, the economy of the Magic City collapsed further, and under the rule of the Republic of China government, corruption became more blatant.
The Magic City in the last scene of the shot seems to be a little bleaker.
Compared to this place, it is lifeless and hopeless.
The fighting continues elsewhere.
Three major battles!
These three major battles also led to various film and television studios to establish special shooting bases and spend huge investments in order to be able to shoot more military-themed movies in the future.
This time also cost Changying a lot of effort.
This footage about the war was shot entirely with a 3D camera.
Aerial photography and wide-angle shots, as well as subtle close-up shots, all make the audience feel the sincerity and the cruelty of this war!
Millions of people fighting, a battle of hard struggle.
Everyone is holding back their energy to destroy the enemy!
Liberate the whole country!
All the difficulties we have endured will eventually pass!
Everyone's faith is united and indestructible!
Machine gun fire, ruthless bombing from howitzers, and the steel torrent collision of tanks, vehicles, and aircraft!
Countless soldiers fell on the way to charge!
Although this was a civil war and not as tear-jerking as Changjin Lake, many people still had red eyes.
War is cruel, whether victory or defeat, it is filled with countless lives!
The audience was moved by watching it, and many people in the film industry were also moved.
Compared with the war scenes at Changjin Lake, director Su Yi’s skills have improved again! There is no sensational foreshadowing this time, and there are not that many close-up shots, but the performance of the entire war is very mature.
He is indeed the world’s number one box office director!
“Among the three major battles, both the scale of the war and the results achieved were unprecedented in the history of the Dragon Kingdom War and very rare in the history of world wars. A total of more than 1.54 million Kuomintang troops were annihilated in these three major battles. , the main military force that the Kuomintang relied on to maintain its reactionary rule was basically destroyed!”
The voice of the narration slowly appeared on the screen, full of magnetism but also very passionate.
···
“Report! Company Commander! We found a landlord’s compound ahead! This guy is so strong! It can’t even be blown up by a grenade!”
Wang Baoqiang, with an inexplicable sense of joy .
The company commander, played by Ge You, hurriedly stepped forward to observe for a while.
"Report to the headquarters! We have arrived at the gate of Bei* City!"
And Chen Kaige can be regarded as being ‘slapped in the face’.
Before, I vowed to destroy the opponent as soon as possible. Now, only two years later, the opponent has already invaded the city!
This kind of plot is extremely tight and makes people feel proud!
However, many viewers and directors are happy that the casting this time is really accurate.
Especially the arrangements for these directors.
The next plot is also impossible to divert attention!
1949.
Foreign Fleet Incident!
Free the demons!
So many things have happened this year, and light is about to illuminate the land of Dragon Kingdom.
But on the eve of dawn, there is darkness.
“49 years! May 20th!”
Several people were blindfolded, gagged, and dragged into the car.
They were pressed roughly to the cold earth.
One of them had all ten finger caps removed, and his hands tied behind his back were still shaking, while the other man was kneeling on the ground, his arms had been broken, and he could not support his body at all. He fell straight to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
A few gunshots rang out, and the tied people fell to the ground silently, with blood splattering everywhere.
At the last moment, their limbs were controlled and their mouths were blocked, without even a last word.
There is no soundtrack in the movie, only some subtitles appear slowly to introduce their ages and identities.
"Long live the New Dragon Kingdom! Long live ***!"
"I want to see a brand new Dragon Kingdom, and I want to see people with free and confident smiles on their faces."
"The enemy asked us who our comrades are, and I can only say that they are all The common people are all our allies!”
“I really want to see a world full of sunshine, because in this darkness, I can only rely on imagination!” I firmly believe that the outside world will be better than I imagined sooner or later!"
After the execution, a secret agent hurriedly threw some things beside them, including a letter.
The letter was enlarged, and the content inside made people cry.
Countless people were executed on the eve of liberation.
Either secretly, or openly!
The audience shed tears, feeling sorry for them and proud of them.
Being able to endure such pain is something that very few people can endure.
But in order for the light to come as soon as possible, they are willing to sacrifice!
Many people shouted long live on the streets, speaking righteously, but even though they were shot in the next second, they still had smiles on their faces when they fell to the ground!
It seems as if we have seen the light!
Some viewers in the cinema could not control their emotions and burst into tears.
A few words slowly appeared on the screen, as if they were a tribute or a sigh.
"Secret and great!"
May 25, 1949, the eve of the liberation of the Magic City.
“We must resolutely implement this policy—no entering private houses!”
The general said decisively.
"The casualties among the soldiers are not small. It rained continuously all night today"
"This is a policy. We have suffered too much, and many soldiers' families have been bullied by warlords! And under the propaganda of hostile forces, we must maintain a good image! We will try our best to treat injured soldiers! But Don’t enter private houses, this is the basic principle!”
May 26.
The originally bustling Magic City suddenly became chaotic.
"They are entering the city! Everyone, go home and hide!"
In these troubled times, Zhou Xingchi, who had appeared on camera before, was begging for a job to support his family.
But soon, the crowd became confused.
Many people rushed over and started robbing everyone with sharp weapons!
The small character played by Zhou Xingchi hurriedly avoided.
But because I was carrying a big package, I was targeted.
“You still dare to run? Bring it here!”
Soon, Zhou Xingchi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but because there was still a little food in his bag, he refused to let go.
“Kill him, don’t waste time!”
A man looked fierce and was about to chop him with a kitchen knife.
At this time, gunfire rang out!
The sound of gunfire cut through the dawn, especially crisp! (End of chapter)
