Liu Jianwei: The Era of Gratitude
He came out of Nanyang Basin, with a dazzling halo on his head: the youngest winner of the Sixth Mao Dun Literature Award, and his works have won the "Five One Project" Award of the Central Propaganda Department, the first Feng Mu Literature Award, the First prize of the 7th Xia Yan Film and Literature Award, Chinese People's Liberation Army Literary Award, Feitian Award, Golden Eagle Award, etc. His name is Liu Jianwei, a native of Zhenping County. He was born in October 1963. He is a famous contemporary Chinese writer, screenwriter, and deputy director of the Bayi Film Studio. He has published many films such as "Northern City", "Out of the Encirclement", and "The Age of Heroes". A popular work.
For the dream of being a writer in his youth, he struggled for 20 years. When flowers and applause came together, Liu Jianwei thanked him for this great era in which he lived. gallop.
Creative expression of the times
Liu Jianwei had a different childhood: a child with urban household registration, but lived in the countryside until he was 13 years old. Coupled with his introverted personality, his entire Childhood was lonely and melancholy. “What I thought was a hardship at the time has turned out to be a valuable asset for a writer, and to a certain extent, it has created a different perspective on my life. Liu Jianwei said.
When he took the college entrance examination in 1979, Liu Jianwei chose the computer major under the influence of the social atmosphere of "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and travel all over the world without fear". While in college, he began his initial creation.
In 1983, Liu Jianwei graduated from university and worked in the 56025 unit of the Chengdu Military Region for 8 years. At the end of 1995, he completed "Northern City", which received rave reviews from critics and readers. Since then, Liu Jianwei's creative power has exploded, and "Out of the Encirclement" and "The Age of Heroes" have been published one after another, and major awards such as the Mao Dun Literature Award have been won by him.
In 2000, Liu Jianwei was transferred to the Chengdu Military Region Creative Studio and became a full-time writer. He was already 37 years old at this time. Every time he thinks about this, Liu Jianwei is full of emotions: " From a writer's dream to a full-time writer, only he understands the persistence and bitterness, ups and downs and happiness of 20 years. " He said that the scrapped manuscripts at home are half a meter high and contain a full 1 million words. The frustration of each submission letter falling into the sea is a psychological test that every writer needs before he succeeds. It is clear to him whenever he thinks about it. Like yesterday.
In 2003, Liu Jianwei was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio due to his success as the screenwriter of the movie "The Storm". In 2008, he became the deputy director of the Bayi Film Studio.
“A good writer must be able to accurately grasp the era in which he lives and express it creatively. " Liu Jianwei said, "I am not one of the trendsetters of the times, but I am certainly not one who is killed by the big waves. "Indeed, the TV series "Out of the Encirclement" and the movie "The Storm" adapted from Liu Jianwei's novel still occupy the commanding heights of domestic film and television dramas with the main theme.
Hometown always resides deep in the soul
“Every writer always resides in a city deep in the soul, where the land that gave birth to him (her) and raised him (her) is always irreplaceable. . "Liu Jianwei said that he grew up under the profound influence of Nanyang culture. He left Nanyang at the age of 16. His hometown is really a concern that he cannot let go of in his life.
In 1984, 21-year-old Liu Jianwei encountered many setbacks on the road of literary creation. His heart was full of depression and helplessness. He asked Nanyang writer Ma Bende: "Can I eat literature in my life? Ma Bende said firmly: "Yes!" "This sentence gave Liu Jianwei unlimited motivation and confidence, encouraging him to brave the wind and waves and sail far away.
“Although I am away from home, I have been thinking about how to do something valuable for my hometown. Liu Jianwei said that as a writer, the pen in his hand is the best weapon to promote his hometown.
In 2007, the 30-episode TV series "Love in War", adapted from Liu Jianwei's novel of the same name, was broadcast on CCTV. This TV series set in Nanyang allowed audiences across the country to understand Nanyang's beautiful mountains and rivers. and a profound red heritage; the famous work "Northern City" is about the ups and downs of reality centered on his hometown Zhenping.
In addition, more than half of Liu Jianwei's short stories and short stories are about people and things in his hometown; the "Zhao River" in Zhenping County, as an important image, appears many times in Liu Jianwei's early works; Readers who have read Liu Jianwei's works can easily find that in his important works, there must be people from Henan, and they must be positive characters.
Turning humanistic advantages into productivity
“I have been away from Nanyang for 35 years, and I go back to Nanyang several times every year. I have never stopped loving my hometown. Liu Jianwei believes that Henan best represents China and Nanyang best represents Henan. As an out-and-out Nanyang person, I sincerely hope that Nanyang, a medium-sized city that is both ancient and modern, avant-garde and conservative, can turn its profound human resources into productive forces and let it radiate youth and vitality for a long time.
In March 2011, the feature film "Kong Qingde Escorts Carlson" shot by Bayi Film Studio was launched in Nanchang, and most of the scenes were shot in Nanzhao. In this regard, Liu Jianwei said: "The story of Kong Qingde escorting Carlson took place in Shanxi. The reason why we chose to shoot in Nanyang is because historical-themed film and television dramas do not have high requirements for filming locations. More importantly, Nanyang has a profound historical and cultural heritage. We want to film it in Nanyang." As a window to promote Nanyang, we will effectively transform Nanyang’s human resources into productive forces. "
Regarding humanistic resources, Liu Jianwei focused on the Nanyang writers group. He believes that the emergence of writers in Nanyang is related to Nanyang’s geographical location and cultural advantages. The strong Central Plains cultures coexist, develop symbiotically, and communicate and compete with each other, which will definitely have an important impact on the creation of writers. “Nanyang wants to build the Nanyang Writers Group into a shining business card, which cannot be separated from the government’s attention and financial investment. It is key to do a good job in top-level planning and design, improve cultural taste, and increase efforts to create it. Liu Jianwei said.

People watching Changjin Lake are excited
I was watching "Changjin Lake" yesterday, and I was already very excited when I saw the familiar Bayi Factory logo in the title sequence.
Bayi Film Studio, the glittering red five-star, the majestic and powerful music, all have been missing for a long time.
On February 2, 2018, when everyone heard that the Bayi Factory would be merged with the former General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, the General Political Department Opera Troupe, the General Political Department Repertory Theater, and the General Political Department Military Band to form the People's Liberation Army Cultural and Art Center, and the name would be changed internally to the "People's Liberation Army After the news that the Film and Television Production Department of the Cultural and Art Center was downgraded from a deputy army unit to a full division unit. Many movie fans thought that Bayi Factory, which grew up with us, would no longer exist.
But a few months later, on June 18, Liu Jianwei, the new director of the Bayi Factory, stated that the Bayi Factory’s logo would continue to appear in movies.
Many old movie fans were very pleased to hear this statement.
Everyone has always been full of affection for the movies produced by Bayi Film Studio. Since the Bayi Factory was officially established on August 1, 1952, it has shot a large number of classic films that are loved by the audience, such as "The Story of Liubao", "Heroes Die Hard", "The Eternal Wave", "Hui People's Detachment" ", "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City", "Shining Red Star", "The Great Battle", "The Big Turning", etc.
There is a widely circulated saying among the masses that "to watch war movies, you still have to watch Bayi Factory".
So this time at the beginning of "Changjin Lake", I saw the Bayi Factory logo, which made Yaqing feel both cordial and excited.
The units involved in the production of "Changjin Lake" include, in addition to Bayi Film Studio, Bona Pictures, Shanghai Film Group (formerly Shanghai Film Studio), etc.
After watching "Changjin Lake", I have three biggest feelings. To sum it up in nine words: It’s a big scene, very touching, and a joy to watch .
1. The scene is big. The film is magnificent, and the many big scenes make people feel immersed in it. For example, when the train was carrying volunteer soldiers toward the Korean battlefield, a set of magnificent pictures of the motherland's rivers and mountains appeared outside the carriage. This set of pictures not only shocked the hearts of the volunteer soldiers on the train, but also brought tears to our eyes as the audience. At the same time, the question "Why are we fighting?" was also clearly explained.
The war scenes in the movie are so real and cruel, and the visual impact is particularly strong. Especially the guerrilla war of "Night Attack on the Signal Tower" (I don't know if it was written by Lin Chaoxian), it was tense, intense and tragic. From the artilleryman played by Hu Jun to the sniper played by Han Dongjun, to Wu Jing and Li Chen's life-and-death struggle with the enemy, the whole process is intertwined and eye-catching.
2. Very touching. The film not only describes the cruelty of war, but also expresses the true feelings of the world in a vivid way. Among them, the brotherhood between Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli, the comradeship between Wu Qianli and Lei Gong, Wu Wanli and Zhang Xiaoshan, the mother-child love between Wu Qianli and his mother, the father-daughter love between Mei Sheng and his daughter, etc. , are all interpreted vividly and deeply touchingly.
Of course, the most touching part is the attachment of the volunteer soldiers to their hometown and their love for the motherland.
3. It’s fun to watch. From the very beginning, the film shows us the world-class weapons and equipment of the US military, the outstanding military exploits of the 10th US Army, and the arrogance of MacArthur. Our army is at a disadvantage both in terms of equipment and numbers. Moreover, it was already winter in the Korean battlefield at that time. In one scene, it was explained that because of time constraints, Wu Qianli's company rushed to the front line without even having time to collect thick cotton clothes.
That year, the Korean Peninsula encountered a severe cold that had never been seen in a century, with an average temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius. However, our army's 260,000 cotton-padded clothes could not be sent to the front line because the roads were blocked by the enemy.
In other words, our soldiers not only have to fight against the US military known as the "Polar Bear", but also have to contend with severe weather that is more severe than the enemy.
But even so, we won the war. What does it rely on? It is the ambition of our soldiers and the determination to defend our country.
The several battle scenes with the US military in the film were really enjoyable. Especially the last direct battle with the US Army's ace army can be described as "pleasant". Not only did it beat the shit out of the enemy troops, completely shattering MacArthur's dream of occupying the entire North Korea before Christmas, it also reversed the battlefield situation.
In addition to "the scenes are big, touching, and enjoyable to watch," the actors in the film also performed outstandingly. The seven leading stars - Wu Jing, Yi Yang Qianxi, Duan Yihong, Zhu Yawen, Li Chen, Hu Jun, and Han Dongjun - all completed their performance tasks well.
Wu Jing's own strong temperament is very consistent with the role of Wu Qianli, commander of the Seventh Company. Yi Yang Qianxi, who plays Wu Wanli, has several scenes that are surprising. For example, when Wu Wanli saw his good comrade Zhang Xiaoshan sacrificed in front of him, Yi Yang Qianxi expressed Wu Wanli's growth from an unorganized and undisciplined riverside wild boy to a volunteer soldier through one look. transformation process. That look was originally innocent, but after experiencing life and death, it gradually became complicated, sad, and full of wolfish nature.
Hu Jun, who played the role of Thunder God, presented us with the most sensational scene at the end of the film. His performance is impeccable. The scene of driving a truck carrying marker bombs towards the enemy was very shocking, and the affection and reluctance when he sang "Yimeng Mountain Ditty" before his death made the audience heartbroken.
In addition, Zhu Yawen, who plays Mei Sheng, the instructor of the 7th company, Duan Yihong, who plays the commander of the third battalion, Tan Ziwei, Han Dongjun, who plays the sniper Pinghe, and Li Chen, who plays the firepower platoon leader of the 7th company, Yu Congrong, all have important scenes, and All performed well.
And the supporting characters in the film all have great backgrounds. The appearance of many famous actors was a surprise.
For example, the actor who plays Mr. Peng Peng Dehuai is Zhou Xiaobin from the former Kongzheng Repertory Theater. He was loved by the audience for his role as the buyer Da Zhou in the sitcom "Cooking Class Story". Later, he starred in film and television dramas such as "Behind the House", "Unforgettable", "Cock Crows and Hen Lays Eggs", and "Pan Zuoliang", and won numerous awards.
In "Changjin Lake", his performance is simple, natural, deep and implicit. Through the changes in facial expressions and eyes, he fully demonstrates Mr. Peng's heroic and domineering character.
The actor who plays General Deng Hua is also very familiar to everyone. He is Lin Yongjian, and he is a comrade-in-arms with Zhou Xiaobin, and they are both actors from the Kongzheng Repertory Theater. He is well-known to the audience for starring in the sketch "Decoration" in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Later, he became a star loved by the audience for his roles as Zhu Yidao in "The Sky of History" and Dazhuang in "Golden Wedding". He doesn't have many roles in "Changjin Lake", but he can leave a deep impression every time he appears.
In addition, he also played Nie Rongzhen in "Nie Rongzhen", and he performed the role equally well.
Wang Ning, who plays Mr. Zhang, is an actor from Beijing People's Art Theatre. He once partnered with Jiang Wen and Ge You in "Song of Qin" directed by Zhou Xiaowen, and played the unforgettable role of Wang Bi.
At the beginning of the film, Commander Yang, who bets with Wu Qianli, is played by Geng Le. This is another face that is very familiar to the audience. Many fans say that he looks very much like the old artist Yang Zaibao, and indeed he does. Although Geng Le is not a professional actor, his performances in film and television dramas such as "Sunny Days", "Mother Next Door", and "Born in 1949" are unforgettable. He has a very unique charm about him, which makes the role he plays very memorable.
At the end of the film "Changjin Lake", the image of the battle hero Yang Gensi also appeared. He is played by Ou Hao, who has performed well in the main theme films "The Founding of the Army", "My Motherland and Me", "Captain of China", "Eight Hundred", etc. in recent years. He started out as a talent show singer, but he has obviously successfully transformed into a "hardcore kid." His acting skills have also been recognized by everyone. It's just that there are too few scenes in "Changjin Lake", which makes many movie fans feel unsatisfied.
Zhang Xiaoshan is another supporting character in "Changjin Lake". He is two months younger than Wu Wanli, who just joined the army. Like Lei Gong, he comes from the Yimeng Mountain area, has a lively and cheerful personality, and is full of beautiful yearning for the future. But a war took away his young life. His sacrifice prompted Wu Wanli to grow rapidly. The actor who plays Zhang Xiaoshan is named Shi Pengyuan. Yes, that's the young actor who played Yan Liang in "The Hidden Corner". Although he is young (only 16 years old this year), he obviously already has rich acting experience, and his performance in "Changjin Lake" was also very good.
I found that the male actors in "Changjin Lake" are all handsome. Among them, Li Mincheng, who plays the hygienist Ke Dachuan, is also eye-catching. Especially the scene where he sacrificed his life to protect his wounded comrades made me burst into tears. Speaking of Li Mincheng, the first thing that comes to my mind is the male lead You Tianming he played in "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", and then his role as Han Hao in the TV series "The Dark One" also made him shine. Li Mincheng, who has excellent appearance and outstanding acting skills, now frequently appears in the main theme film and television dramas. I believe that more and more viewers will remember his name and like his performances.
"Changjin Lake" is a typical "tough guy movie" full of masculinity. Except for Wu's mother, played by Cao Yang, and a girl at the station who gave Wu Wanli a red scarf, there are almost no female characters. This is also what makes this movie special. Cao Yang, who plays Wu's mother, doesn't have many roles. She only appears at the beginning of the film and has limited lines. She mostly expresses her reluctance and concern for her son through her eyes. However, her performance is very intense and she successfully portrays the character of a heroic mother. image.
Cao Yang is 69 years old. He played the role of Yang Dong's mother in the just-aired TV series "Sweeping the Storm". Wu Mu in "Changjin Lake" is another film and television drama character she created.
In "Changjin Lake", the actor who plays the artistic image of Song Shilun is the famous tough guy Zhang Hanyu. His roles as Gu Zidi in "Assembly", Yang Zirong in "Taking Tiger Mountain", Gao Gang in "Operation Mekong", Liu Changjian in "Captain of China", etc. are all full of enthusiasm. masculinity.
It is said that the crew of "Changjin Lake" originally wanted Zhang Hanyu to play a leading role in it, but because the filming of "Changjin Lake" was postponed, and Zhang Hanyu served as the protagonist of "Chinese Doctor", he missed the lead role in "Changjin Lake" And passed. However, although he played a supporting role in "Changjin Lake", his wonderful performance is equally unforgettable - he is so suitable for playing the image of a strong Chinese soldier.
In "Changjin Lake", who plays the image of Mao Anying? He is Huang Xuan, today's first-line niche player.
Huang Xuan's outstanding performance in the main theme film and television dramas in recent years is obvious to all. Especially in works such as "Youth", "Mountains and Seas", and "1921", his sincere and touching performances have won unanimous recognition from everyone. Playing Mao Anying this time, although Huang Xuan does not look very similar in appearance, he has completed the task of shaping the character well with his serious attitude.
In addition to the 10 supporting actors we mentioned above, there are also many performing artists in "Changjin Lake", such as Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin, Lu Qi, Wang Wufu, etc. Their performances are equally impressive in both form and appearance. The video adds a lot of color.
To be honest, after reading "Changjin Lake", my mood has been in a state of difficulty, so I wrote this article with tears in my eyes. The word "good-looking" is the most appropriate word to describe this film. The visual effects of the film are very good, and the three directors Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, and Lam Chaoxian jointly created an epic war film. Of course, the film is not without flaws. For example, the scene of our soldiers fighting against the harsh weather in the Battle of Changjin Lake is almost passed over in one stroke, while some scenes, such as the scene where the beautiful girl gives Wu Wanli a red scarf, are superfluous.
But despite its flaws, I will still give "Changjin Lake" an 8-point score.
