This year’s National Day stalls, Tsui Hark, Lin Chaoxian, Chen Kaige has become the "span2span " co-directed in the "Lake Market" over the past years. "The best box office for National Day stalls."
Friends who have watched "Changjin Lake" may have some doubts about the ending of the movie, and feel that it ended a little hastily. In fact, there is a mystery behind the hasty ending. The three-hour duration did not satisfy the creative desires of the three directors. The sequel of "Changjin Lake", "Water Gate Bridge", has long been ready to go, and it has a strong momentum for the Spring Festival stalls.
In addition to this "Watergate Bridge", Zhang Yimou _span _strong2's "span2span _span _strong" director _span _strong 12 The works of the same theme " to resist US aggression and aid Korea ", I don't know whether these two films will start box office battles within the same schedule.
In recent years, on the Chinese-language big screen, "Resisting US Aid Korea" movie works seem to have become the focus of many directors' creations. In 2016, Hong Kong film director Peng Shun went north to the mainland,Filmed the movie " my war " with the theme of "Resisting US Aid Korea".
Like most Hong Kong film directors, Peng Shun is accustomed to making small scenes of Hong Kong film stories, but as soon as he took over the big scenes of war works, he shot it.
Although the market response after the release of "My War" was not good, it has unveiled the creative craze for "Resisting the US and Aid Korea" on the big screen in the mainland. And works like " King Kong River " and "Changjin Lake" also entered the big screens of cinemas afterwards.
In 1953, with the signing of the " Korean Armistice Agreement ", the Korean War " 2 was officially over."
Because it is more than half a century apart, many filmmakers today don't know much about this history. The filmmakers' own "inadequate preparation" has also led to the quality defects of many current "Resisting U.S. Aid Korea" themes.
Of course, today's filmmakers cannot create classic "Resisting US Aid Korea" movies, and it does not mean that there is a lack of classic "Resisting US Aid Korea" movies on the big Chinese screen. In this issue, let’s talk about 9 classic films with the theme of "Resisting U.S. Aid Korea".
1. " Shangganling ", release date: 1956
The answer is "Shangganling".
Which is the most classic "Resisting US Aid Korea" theme film on the Chinese big screen?
The answer is still "Shangganling"!
In 1953, with the end of the "Resistance to US Aid Korea", the volunteers began to return home one after another. In the autumn of 1952, a large number of volunteer soldiers died in the tragic " Shangganling Battle ". They fell on the eve of the end of the war and were finally buried. In order to boost morale, Chairman Mao hopes to make the "Shangganling Battle" into a movie .
, as the first film production organization after the founding of New China, at that time " Changchun Film Studio ", both in terms of technical equipment and shooting experience, is second to none in China. As a result, "Changchun Film Studio" was tasked to take charge of the filming of "Shangganling". Two directors, Sha Meng and Lin Shan , also led the creation of the film. .
Excellent war films often borrow the coat of war stories to express a theme of peace and anti-war ,This "Shangganling" accurately grasps this point.
In terms of story design, the two directors Sha and Lin did not give a comprehensive performance of the 43-day "Shangganling Campaign". "This short story of the soldier sticking to the "tunnel" highlights the cruelty of the war.
The outstanding portrayal of group portraits and the compact story rhythm make this "Shangganling" the "Best Anti-U.S. Aid Korea Film" on the Chinese big screen so far. And Guo Lanying 's " my motherland " has also sung for an era.
To this day, the lyrics of "a big river is wide and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers" can still evoke the movie memories of many audiences.
2. "Long Sky Bi Wings", release date: 1958 In 1958, " Bayi Film Studio " also followed in the footsteps of "Changchun Film Studio" and shot a movie "Spanning the Sky" with the theme of "Resisting the United States and Aid Korea".
On the battlefield of "Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea", our army has performed bravely, and our air force is not inferior. This "Long Sky wing" focused on the air combat during the "Resistance to U.S. Aid Korea" period.
It is worth mentioning that the excellent portrayal of the "air combat scene" is a highlight of this "Span of the Sky".Of course, to be able to shoot such an excellent air battle scene, the strong strength of the "August 1 Film Studio" cannot be avoided.
"August 1st Film Studio" full name " Chinese People's Liberation Army Bayi Film Studio " is the only "military film studio" in my country. In this "Span Over Wings", the air combat shots are all completed by the pilots of the unit , the degree of restoration of the scene can be imagined.
3. "March 8 Online", release time: 1960
In 1953, with the signing of the "Korea Armistice Agreement", the "Resistance to the US and Aid Korea" officially ended. However, it was not until 1958 that all our volunteer soldiers were disarmed. The reason is that the US military has repeatedly crossed the "38th line" after signing the "armistice agreement," and the volunteer soldiers also had to engage with it.
In 1960, "August 1st Film Studio" shot the "March 8 Line", which tells the story after the signing of the "Korea Armistice Agreement."
It is worth mentioning that on the mainland big screen in the late 1950s, films with the theme of "spy warfare" were extremely popular. The 1957 " Yangcheng dark whistle ", the 1958 " never-dying radio wave ", and " hero guts " have all become classics of this period.
This "March 8 Online" in 1960,Also keeping up with the trend of the times, combines the "spy warfare elements" with the "story of resisting US aggression and aid Korea" . Designed a story in which "US spies" secretly crossed the "38th line" and planned to launch a "spy war" against volunteer soldiers.
After the "March 8 Online" was released, it also received a good response. The classic scene of "Volunteers Crossing the Yalu River" in this film was also borrowed and imitated by countless subsequent film and television works.
4. " Railway Guards", release time: 1960 Combined, "March 8 Online" was filmed. And this year's "Changchun Film Studio" followed closely with the launch of "Guardian of the Railway".
This "Guardian of the Railroad" tells the story of the early days of "Resistance to US Aggression and Aid Korea".
The editing technique of "frontal battlefield battle" and "rear anti-special battle" echoes each other, giving this "Guardian of the Railways" a unique interest. At the end of the film, "Fight on the top of the train" and "Demolition of a bomb in a critical moment", these bridges, whether it is the rendering of the atmosphere of , or the performance of the lens, are not lost to today's "commercial blockbuster" .
5. " surprise attack ",Release time: 1960
In 1960, "August 1st Film Studio" shot "Surprise", which can be described as a work of great contemporary significance .
In 1958, the Second Department of the General Staff of the "General Intelligence Department of the People's Liberation Army" held the "All-Army Intelligence Work Conference" in Beijing. At the meeting, someone suggested, "Our army has accumulated a wealth of experience in intelligence and reconnaissance during the war years. Now that the large-scale war has just ended a few years ago, we should take advantage of the fact that all the combatants are still alive and take some experience summaries."
This proposal was unanimously approved by the participants. Everyone decided to gather some old scouts to sum up experience and shoot some "military education films" for future generations to learn from.
So in 1958, "August 1st Film Studio" combined with a real battle during the "Resistance to US Aid Korea" and shot my country's first "Military Education Film"-"A Strike on Wuling Bridge". However, the effect of this "Surprising Assault on Wuling Bridge" was not satisfactory, and everyone did not like to watch .
"Surprising Assault on Wuling Bridge" is a very realistic restoration of the Volunteer Soldiers' detection methods and marching strategies. However, the film was as boring as a "documentary", but it made the audiences at that time very resistant, and soldiers in the army didn't like to watch it either.
"A surprise attack on Wuling Bridge" screenwriter Man Jian thinks,"Military education films" should not be too serious, and should be presented in a way of "entertainment and fun". Man Jian's ideas were recognized by the leaders. So in 1960, Man Jian adapted the story of "Surprise Attack on Wuling Bridge" and created the movie "Surprise Attack".
"Surprise" has carried out many dramatic designs on the story structure of , which enhances the interest of the movie. In some small details, the film captures the essence of "military education" , tactical thinking of "flags to lead the way, countersigns, and firepower under the guise of sneak attacks", and also conveys "valuable investigations" to the audience. Experience".
After the release of "Surprise", it received a lot of praise. "August 1st Film Studio" also found the know-how of "military education film" through this film. After that, " landmine warfare ", " tunnel warfare " and other gods were born one after another.
In that era, these "military education films" shot by the "August 1st Film Studio" were very interesting "entertainment films" in the eyes of ordinary people.
6. "Heroic Tanker", released in 1962
, at the same time as the production of "Military Education Films" in the early 1960s "Neither did it relax the creation of a "feature film". In 1962, the "August 1st Film Studio" created the movie "Heroic Tanker" based on the "Fourth Seokhyun-dong Beishan Battle" during the "Resistance to US Aid Korea".
In the storyline,"Heroic Tanker" continues the usual characteristics of the "hero movies" of that period, praising and praising the "battle heroes". In the presentation of the battle scene, the film also used a large amount of manpower and equipment from the army to truly restore the battle scene of "armor warfare".
7. " Hero Children ", release time: 1964
In 1964, "Changchun Film Studio" was also filmed in "The Heroic Age".
"August 1st Film Studio" and "Changchun Film Studio" in the 1950s and 1960s can be described as the two major production giants on the big screens in mainland China.
"August 1st Film Studio" benefited from the support of the troops, often made a fuss on the action scenes, aircraft, artillery, tanks are all available .
and "Changchun Film Studio" is good at by small see the big, weaken the performance of the big scene, portray the emotional stories of the underlying characters , 2span . This was the case with "Shangganling" in 1956, and the same was true with "Children of Heroes" in 1964.
This "Children of Heroes" is adapted from the novel "Reunion" by Mr. Ba Jin ,The film did not fix the content in a specific battle during the "Resistance to U.S. Aid Korea" period. Instead, through the ups and downs of the two brothers and sisters of Wang Cheng and Wang Fang, the cruel, peaceful and precious battle was shown from the side.
Like "Shangganling", this "Hero Sons" also gave birth to a golden song of the times- "Heroes Anthem" .
8. " Fights Wumingchuan", release time: 1975 Film works with the theme of "Resisting the US and Aid Korea" have also begun to enter the low point of creation. However, in 1975, the "August 1st Film Studio" still shot a film with the theme of "Resisting the United States and Aid Korea" in the form of a color film-"The Fierce Battle on the Wuming River".
In the early 1970s, with Nixon's visit to China, "Sino-US relations" gradually improved, and film works with the theme of "Resisting the United States and Aid Korea" began to enter the low point of creation. However, the "August 1st Film Studio" in 1975 still shot a film with the theme of "Resisting U.S. Aid to Aid Korea"-"The Fierce Battle in Wuming River" in the form of a color film.
This story of "Battle on the Wuming River",It is very similar to the "King Kong River" released in 2020. It is a story of the volunteer army sending engineers to repair the bridge, and the enemy bombing the bridge, and the volunteer army protecting the bridge.
Although the overall structure of the story is similar, in the performance of the details, "Fighting on the Wuming River" is much higher than "King Kong River".
In the design of the story, "Battle on the Wuming River" does not place the movie in an isolated environment like "King Kong River". While "Fierce Battle in Wumingchuan" showed the volunteer army, it also performed a lot of performances on the Korean people. The victory of the war does not depend on a certain team or a certain battle, but on the support of the people .
Also, everyone knows the strength of the "August 1st Film Studio". In this "Fierce Battle in the Unknown River", many actors were originally soldiers in the army. Let "a group of soldiers" play "a group of soldiers". The temperament of the actors alone has made a large number of war works on the theme of "Resisting the United States and Aid Korea" unmatched.
9. " Jagged Aorta ", release time: 1998 This year, the "August 1st Film Studio" was once again given an order to shoot the film "Iron Blood Arteries" with the theme of "Resisting U.S. Aid and Aid Korea".
This "Iron Blood Artery",It tells the story of the enemy's crazy attack on the logistics transportation line of our volunteers and the soldiers of the logistics team during the "Resistance to the US and Aid Korea".
The magnificent war scenes and the restoration of the details on the service road made this "Iron Blood Arteries" become the "Last Peak" of the 20th century Chinese-language screen, the theme of "Resisting U.S. Aid Korea".
After entering the 21st century, with the invasion of Hollywood commercials, the mainland film market has entered a rapidly developing "entertainment era", and war-themed film works have gradually faded out of the mainland. screen.
In recent years, the mainland film market has once again set off a "war film creation boom". However, , the older generation of filmmakers who were good at mastering big themes and scenes, has passed away. And the new generation of filmmakers' lack of control over the grand war story also caused many flaws in the quality of the work.
Classic works like "Shangganling", "Heroes and Children", and "Surprise" are destined to become fans and memories of a movie era.
