And his plays are one after another. In addition to the movie The Battle of Changjin Lake, there are rumors that there will be another blockbuster TV series next year: Winter and the Lion.
Speaking of this drama, I can't help feeling that there is always a drama worth waiting for, especially the male audience who like war dramas.
Kang, the director of Soldiers Assault, My Head and My Regiment ... This drama, which wanted to shoot for too long, has finally made substantive moves recently.
"Winter and the Lion" touched the hearts of too many audiences early, and was highly anticipated, precisely because the director was Kang. In 2006, his "Soldier Assault" detonated the TV screen and became a phenomenal military theme work.
Among them, the "seven companies of steel" in the play impressed countless people, and "don't abandon, don't give up" has become an inspiring motto so far.
After that, another drama created by his original class began to be prepared. In 2009, the drama was officially broadcast, which once again touched the hearts of countless audiences. This play is My Head and My Regiment.
Now, 1 1 years have passed. After the baptism and precipitation of time, the highlights and details of our group and the excavation of human nature have been recognized by more people.
Douban has scored 9.5 points so far, and the number of evaluators is as high as 27,000, which has won numerous praises.
At the beginning of this year, "Colonel" had a follow-up action: "My Colonel, My Final Chapter" was put on file for publicity. Relevant information shows that the filing agency is a company under the name of Zhang Yi, which excited countless audiences at that time. And Zhang Yi is Meng Fanle who plays the eye of Lan Xiaolong's mouth.
As can be seen from the executive summary, the leading role of My Head and My Regiment and The Last Chapter is Meng Fanle, which tells the story that happened after the timeline of My Head and My Regiment, and Zen Da is the place that makes Meng Fanle worry about his life. Judging from the plot, it can be regarded as the "Meng Fanle sequel" of the Colonel.
However, compared with the excitement brought to fans by the last chapter, the latter one is even more exciting-because this time, director Kang and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong have cooperated again!
Some viewers even used "remarriage" to describe the excitement of seeing them cooperate again, especially the male audience who grew up watching Soldiers Assault and My Head and My Regiment.
(Kang) According to
In addition to director Kang, many people remember the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong (above).
A "Soldier Assault" and a "My Head and My Regiment" (hereinafter referred to as "My Regiment") make their combination known by the audience as "the best partner of domestic military TV series", and no one can beat them so far.
Their names are put together, which makes many viewers want to see unconditionally, but they also have their own ideas.
At that time, "My Tuan" was being broadcasted, and Kang bluntly said in the interview: "I don't think (with Lan Xiaolong and the actors) can always be together. Being together all the time is a misunderstanding. I think everyone should grow and explore. After five or ten years, if possible, we can get together again and make something more different. "
(Zhang Yi and Kang are at the shooting scene of "The Head of the Mission")
It is this interview that makes the audience who love this group of "best partners" have expectations. This unwritten agreement is regarded as a "ten-year contract".
Now, just in the past 1 1 year, Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong cooperated again. Lan Xiaolong spent five years writing a new play, Winter and the Lion, with130,000 words. A few days ago, the official announcement-directed by Kang, and the agreement has been fulfilled!
Even the official account of "My Head, My Tuan" was forwarded with emotion, saying that Tuan Tuan would burst into tears in his life series.
The most exciting thing is the familiar word "Gang Qi Lian" in the official propaganda copy, which brought strength to countless people in Soldiers Assault. After a lapse of 14 years, "Gang Qi Lian" still hit the hearts of many viewers.
In the real history, there is also the figure of "Gang Qilian". They are a heroic company born in northern Shaanxi. They have experienced War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they are really tough guys.
Winter and the Lion tells the story of the growth of Wu He, two brothers of Gang Qilian in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In the synopsis of the story revealed on the Internet, he wrote: "In the autumn of 1950, Vientiane in New China was updated, and Wu, the seventh company commander of a certain army, returned to his hometown to visit relatives ..."
Compared with the titles of Soldiers Assault and My Regiment, it sounds like a military theme. Winter and the Lion looks a bit literary, but it also contains profound meaning. Lan Xiaolong once explained the title of this film: "Lions don't belong to winter, but lions in winter are still lions". He bluntly said that Winter and the Lion is a real war movie.
Besides Kang and Lan Xiaolong, the theme is also very important, because the story of Winter and the Lion focuses on the battle of Changjin Lake.
The battle of Changjin Lake is an important battle in Changjin Lake area in the second campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
(Volunteer soldiers with thin clothes)
1 from October 27th to February 24th, 1950, 165438+65438, three armies of Chinese people's Volunteer Army's 9th Corps engaged in fierce battles with the US ace troops1Marine Division and 7th Infantry Division in the Changjin Lake area of North Korea, creating a record of annihilating a US regiment in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
This war forced the American ace troops to experience the "longest retreat" in history, which laid the foundation for the final armistice negotiations.
(American planes threw napalm bombs at volunteer positions)
The battle of Changjin Lake was the most tragic battle in this war: the 9 th Corps of Volunteers suffered from frostbite and freezing to death in addition to combat casualties. Thousands of people in the US Army 1 Marine Division also suffered from frostbite and froze to death.
At this year's commemoration party of the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, He Bing and Zhu recited a poem named "Ice Blood Changjin Lake", which restored the story of the soldiers of the ice sculpture company in the battle of Changjin Lake with sound and reproduced the heroic spirit of China Volunteers.
Quanlian 129 volunteers were frozen into ice sculptures, and everyone kept fighting posture. ...
There is a film and television work about the battle of Changjin Lake. There was a documentary "Ice Blood Changjin Lake" before. Douban scored 9 points, and many people cried.
20 13, Huang Hong, then director of Bayi Film Studio, said that he would make this theme into a movie. At this time, director Xiaogang Feng was the first to stand up and say that he was willing to make this film. However, due to various factors, I temporarily lost the following.
In 20 18, Zeng Guan released the film Winter and the Lion directed by Zhang Li, but so far only one poster has been circulated. In 20 19, Bona officially announced the filming of "Frozen", which was encouraging, but later, due to the epidemic situation at the beginning of this year, he had to suspend filming temporarily, resulting in a loss of1500,000.
However, some time ago, the film was renamed the Battle of Changjin Lake, and the lineup of three directors was officially announced. Shooting has been restarted and will be released next year: Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, Lin Chaoxian, Jason Wu and Yi.
It is worth noting that the name of Blue Xiaolong appeared in the film's screenwriter lineup, and the two leading actors, Jason Wu and Jackson Yee, played their brothers respectively.
This makes people think of it, and it is also very unexpected, because it is exactly the same as the setting of the two brothers in Winter and the Lion, and it should be a drama version of the battle of Changjin Lake. On the same theme, Kang will challenge three film directors, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian.
In addition, the newly officially announced Winter and the Lion, in addition to the gold medal combination Kang and Lan Xiaolong, is said to be starring Jackson Yi, an old acquaintance of Soldier Assault and Colonel, and one of the main stars of the movie The Battle of Changjin Lake.
The audience is still looking forward to such a lineup rumor. After all, Duan Long, who plays a soldier, is always convincing, and Jackson Yi, who has just been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, has proved himself with acting skills.
In addition, people still have some "extravagant hopes". What they are looking forward to most is not only Duan Long, but also other original actors of Soldiers Assault and My Regiment, such as Zhang Yi, Xing Jiadong and Zhang Guoqiang. Many viewers begged to watch it again on the Internet, hoping that the director could consider the original crew of Corps.
However, it is still a mystery whether the final casting can make up the original "seven steel companies".
However, whether it is the original team or not, the regrouping of "Kang Honglei+Blue Xiaolong" after 1 1 year is enough to make many people ecstatic. It is hoped that in Winter and the Lion, The Company of Steel Seven will create more glories, and restore the battle of Changjin Lake, which will always be remembered in history, with blood and solid body.
"Winter and the Lion" must be included in next year's annual must-see, and once again pay tribute to the hero and the most lovely person!
