What kind of movie will this be?
The launch ceremony of the theater movie "Thirteen Generals" project
"Save the soldier Ryan " and "Spartan 300 Warriors" combo
The desert is lonely smoke, the setting sun is like blood, and outside the city wall Huns faintly, watching the opportunity to attack the Han army annex the Western Regions. After garrisoning the city for a year, General Geng Gong led all the soldiers to fight against the Huns. The Han soldiers were exhausted from ammunition and food until reinforcements arrived at the city, and only thirteen left in the hundred troops...
epic scenes slowly spread out. This is the story of "Thirteen Generals and Soldiers Return to Yumen" in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been recorded in history for "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Geng Yan attached to Geng Gong".
director of the movie "Thirteen Soldiers"
director Xiong Wei introduced that although the written records of "Book of the Later Han" are only 334 words, its story is very complete and inspiring, the characters are full, and the concepts expressed are enough to make people move. It's like a combination of "Save Private Ryan" and "Spartan 300 Warriors".
But how do 334 words be created into the oriental version of "Ryan and Sparta"? The main creative team used "five years of hard work" to describe this huge project.
Xiong Wei said that the script of the movie "Thirteen Generals" had started to be created three years ago. In three years, the main creative team conducted long-term historical study to understand the policy changes between the imperial court, explore the connection between regions and dynasties, and seized the most exciting and heroic parts from history for secondary creation.
What is the most exciting and heroic content in history?
The black clouds are pressing against the city and are about to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun and golden scales. The 13 soldiers guarded the border city with their own temperament and courage, which is very similar to the unswerving and living towards death in "Spartan 300 Warriors".
In addition to conducting a lot of research based on historical materials, how to make the characters become more bloody and fuller is another dimension of exploration.
"People" have always been the core of epic movies and the "flesh and blood" of the story. Geng Gong and other figures are border guards, but they are not war machines. Although they have outstanding military achievements and have shattered the dream of the Huns to annex the Western Regions throughout their lives, their identities are also "son", "brother", "father"...
"Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go". The main creator puts the expectation of the unity of the "small self" and "big self" in terms of the characters.
In fact, Geng Gong, who is brave and good at fighting and sacrifices his life, is like Captain John Miller in "Save Soldier Ryan". The expression on the choice between the "small self" and the "big self" is exactly the same as "Saving the Soldier Ryan".
The inner world of the characters is slowly unfolding, and the love and hatred they bear gives the character a sense of reality and heaviness. In the opinion of reporters, such roles are actually a breakthrough for any actor.
Speaking of the criteria for selecting the cast of "Thirteen Soldiers", Xiong Wei told us that the selection of actors is based on the principle of "suitable for roles". He has met the actors who play Geng Gong in his mind and is actively contacting actors in other roles: "We have many levels of roles. I hope that "Thirteen Soldiers" can bring another shaping ability to the actors."
The words "man" and "war" naturally have "dopamine" that makes the audience's adrenal hormone soar. The director told us that the film will present 2-3 exquisite and grand war scenes, but all of them serve the emotions and theme expressions of the film.
"What the soldiers guarded to the end is not only a castle, but also a belief, and they guarded the Han Dynasty's policy to the Huns. I hope to use this to commemorate the arrogant and tenacious bloodline of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and to arouse the family and country feelings in the hearts of the Chinese people."
And in the process of fighting to the death and defending the country, the iron-blooded and loyal man also has the tenderness of brothers hidden under the mask of perseverance."Some people sacrificed their lives to grab a bit of food for their brothers, some people saved their own brother on the battlefield, and even saved a comrade who was not related to him and fell into the yellow sand forever." Xiong Wei mentioned to us that the film specially designed a "night talk around the fire" scene on the eve of the war. The last thirteen soldiers looked down on life and death and expressed their feelings to each other.
Emotions are always the soul of the story, because this "temperature" remains in troubled times, and the main creator also hopes to express his thoughts on "anti-war" through "Thirteen Generals". "What I want to present is not only visually exciting war scenes or martial arts scenes. I want to explore the inner human nature of the little people and think about war."
's transmission of patriotism, the display of brotherhood, and the reflection on war, isn't this the deepest mark "Save the Soldier Ryan" bringing us.
An exciting story, a group of plump and three-dimensional small characters, and a surging and inspiring feelings of family and country. This is the basis for "Thirteen Soldiers" to attract financial support from the Fujian Aid Xinjiang Command, but the success of one thing also requires the fate of time, place, and people.
"Thirteen Soldiers" movie radiation, cultural assistance to Xinjiang, industrial support to Xinjiang
In fact, ten years ago, Xinjiang Qitai County wanted to adapt the story of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen" into a movie, and also came into contact with many great directors, but they have not made substantial breakthroughs. Yu Yangting, deputy secretary of the Qitai County Party Committee of Xinjiang, said: "Director Xiong Wei really loves this story. He will devote himself to the project. We support "Thirteen Soldiers" mainly for the following five considerations."
First of all, Geng Gong's spirit moved us; secondly, guarding the border and aiding Xinjiang to persevere and dare to take responsibility are in line with each other; thirdly, the story has a cultural value, and it can reflect the spirit of integration and unity of our Han ethnic groups and ethnic minorities; fourthly, Qitai has the beautiful scenery of Jiangblak , and cultural content must lead Jiangblak to the whole world and make it more famous; fifthly, our focus is actually the most important point, under the high-quality development of the tourism industry, drive local employment and make local nomadic people live a better life.
"I have a story, you have wine", both sides hit it off.
In August 2018, Xinjiang Qitai County and Beijing Xiangshang Xiangshan Film and Television Culture Company signed a contract to shoot the movie "Thirteen Soldiers". The Fujian Provincial Aid Command will invest 35 million yuan to build a "Shule Ancient City" film and television shooting base around Magouliang Heigou, Jiangbulake Scenic Area, Qitai County.
As a key project for counterpart assistance to Xinjiang in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, the movie "Thirteen Soldiers" has received strong support from the national "Cultural Aid to Xinjiang" project.
For the overall plan for the reconstruction of the "Shule Ancient City", Huang Helin, commander-in-chief of the Front Command of the Xinjiang Aid Front, told us: "The shooting of "Thirteen Soldiers" is a bold breakthrough for our 'cultural aid to Xinjiang'. For us, it is not only to support the birth of a film and television work, but also hope that with the radiation of the movie, the township where Shule City is located will attract more people in the future, thus forming a tourism industry, improving local infrastructure, and realizing rural revitalization."
For the future creation of Shule Ancient City, Commander Huang believes that it can not only find touching historical stories of Shule City, but also let people who are visiting feel the scene interpretation of Geng Gong and his guarding the border and the life characteristics of the Han Dynasty. Doing a B&B, experiential tourism or a Han culture display base are all directions that can be worked hard for in the future. Especially in April and May every year, 1.5 million tulips are rushing to open in Qitai County, linking the ancient city of Shule, making Jiangblake a themed scenic spot for "Meet Tulips, Meet Love".

What kind of project will be as lucky as "Thirteen Soldiers" to be supported by the cultural aid policy?
Huang Helin, commander-in-chief of the Front Command of Aiding Xinjiang, said: "The concept of 'cultural aiding Xinjiang' is very broad. Through movies, more local ethnic minorities can be educated and inspired in culture. As long as it is conducive to our national unity and has a cultural project that better promotes the integration of all ethnic groups, we can consider providing corresponding support.”
A history, a movie, a city "Thirteen Soldiers" is expected to create a new benchmark for film and television + cultural tourism
Movie + cultural tourism. What kind of chemical reaction will the two have? It is understood that the extended income of film and television works + cultural and tourism industries is 1:9.
The wish that was not realized ten years ago is about to become a reality. In addition to the opportunity of time, place and people, this is also inseparable from the persistence and responsibility of the Han men all the way to the end. Secretary Yu told us that although everything is difficult at the beginning, there is no turning back. What supports us to go all the way is the economic and social value that this project will bring to the local people.
Perhaps just like Huang As the commander said, "Thirteen Soldiers" is a very special case. If it succeeds, it will definitely become a benchmark in the diversification of the film and even the diversified development of the cultural industry.
