The War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea is the "founding war" of New China. In 1950, in order to safeguard peace and ensure the long-term stability of the motherland, the Chinese people, with one heart and one mind, began the three-year War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea. There are many film and television works showing the War of Founding the Nation, but the Volunteer Trilogy is the first film to tell the audience the complete process of the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea from the decision to send troops to the end of the war.

Seventy years have passed, and many people who have experienced war are no longer alive. For the younger generation, "volunteers" has also become a vague concept in books and ears. The film "volunteers" hopes to pay homage to the "cutest person" and the ancestors who gave their youth and life for the motherland. Director Chen Kaige said: "I hope that the meaning of this film will enable young people to have an understanding of that era and make them understand and remember the contributions made by volunteer soldiers in the historical context at that time."

The special "the cutest Man" released today is launched by the Battle of Songgufeng in the Volunteer: male attack, which reveals the true fighting process of the volunteers on the Korean battlefield, and the soldiers are strong-willed enough to infect everyone. At the end of the special, the main actors recite "the cutest person" with full emotions, like a dialogue across time and space, which makes people cry. The spirit of volunteers affects every generation of Chinese. "volunteers: male soldiers attack" will be the first choice for the whole family to watch the movie on National Day in 2023.

it was a shock! Three key battles restore the real battlefield

As the first part of the trilogy of volunteers, Volunteer: male attack revolves around the decision to send troops and the first and second battles after entering Korea. Among them, the first battle Liangshuidong, the attack on Sansui, and the bloody battle of Songgufeng are all famous key battles in the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea, and they are also the battle scenes highlighted in the film.

The battle between Liangshuidong and Shuidong was the "first shot" fired by the Chinese people's volunteers after entering North Korea. On October 25, 1950, the 118th Division of the 40th Army launched an attack by using the method of "blocking the head, cutting off the tail, and chopping the waist" in the Liangshuidong area. Under the condition that the telephone line between the 354 regiment of the 118 Division and the command post of the division was interrupted, the 354 regiment immediately decided to attack the enemy by relying on favorable terrain and caught the enemy by surprise. Finally, after several hours of fierce fighting, the volunteers won the first battle of the war in North Korea. The strategy and courage of the Chinese people's volunteers dealt a blow to the Americans and made clear to them the determination of the Chinese people to resist hegemony to the death.

In the second battle, the 113th Division of the 38th Army was ordered to attack Tokugawa. In the cold weather, the volunteers had to take off their trousers and cross the river in order not to lose their temperature. Soon after the capture of Tokugawa, they received an urgent telegram from the military asking them to travel 72.5 kilometers to Sansui within 14 hours to cut off the US retreat. It was a march beyond its limits, and people kept falling on the road, but the 113th Division did not slow down. Finally, when they arrived on the battlefield five minutes earlier than the US military, the soldiers quickly went into battle and successfully stopped the US military with the belief that they would win. This battle is enough to demonstrate the indomitable will of the volunteer soldiers under difficult circumstances.

On November 30, 1950, the 38th Army, 112th Division, 335th Regiment, 1st Battalion and 3rd Company, was ordered by Songgufeng to block the US military and fought a fierce battle with the enemy for several hours with the strength of one company. The Battle of Songgufeng blockade was one of the most heroic battles in the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea, and nearly all the members of the third company responsible for blocking it were sacrificed. In order to restore the cruel scene of the battle, at most more than 100 "burning people" were used on the scene, and eight cameras were working at the same time. Wei Chen, who plays the 3rd company commander Dai Ruyi, said: "the mountain is' full of corpses'. When I saw this scene at the scene, the tragic scene shocked my eyes." It is believed that this battle will also shock the audience.

Great Power diplomacy! Not afraid of power to reveal the background of New China

The battle to resist US aggression and Aid Korea is not only reflected in the Korean battlefield, but also in the diplomatic field. While China and the United States fight for life and death in the Korean battlefield, Ambassador Special Representative Wu Xiuquan (Zhang Songwen) also led the Chinese delegation to attend the United Nations meeting for the first time. At the meeting, Wu Xiuquan severely complained about the aggressive acts of the United States and expressed the attitude that the Chinese people would not tolerate it. The sonorous and forceful sentence "the times are different, the situation has changed, and the Chinese people have stood up!" All show that the Chinese delegation is not afraid of power and speaks for the people. In the film, this brilliant diplomatic war of words and battlefield fighting are interspersed, and a tragic and exhilarating emotion arises spontaneously, reverberating in the hearts of all Chinese people.

In view of this scene, the film restores the scene of the United Nations conference in proportion to historical materials, ranging from props in the scene to facial expressions and movements of characters, all of which strive to be consistent with the real situation at that time. Because of the large scene and large number of personnel, there are as many as 700 suits in the United Nations conference scene alone. Only by doing a good job in every detail can we restore the elegant demeanor of the diplomatic regiment.

Heroes! The characters have their own charm and poke into tears

Director Chen Kaige firmly believed in the early days of his creation: "only when individual destiny and historical facts blend together can a very great explosive force be produced." To this end, the director combed the motives and emotions of all the characters with the screenwriter before filming, trying to make each character of the volunteers three-dimensional and emotional.

In shaping the real historical figures, the creators not only restore the well-known characteristics of the characters, but also focus on tapping their unique emotions. In the film, the audience can see Chairman Mao (Tang Guoqiang) briefly stunned after learning that his son went to war; see Peng Dehuai (Wang Yanhui) such a heroic and fierce commander and Li Moyin (Xin Baiqing) as a friend; see the "tenderness" of Liang Xingchu (Wang Xing), commander of the 38th Army, who is a "tiger general" but would rather break discipline and protect the lives of his officers and soldiers.

In the film, Sun Xing (Chen Feiyu), Dai Ruyi (Wei Chen) and Yang Shaocheng (Yin Fang) of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 335th Division of the 38th Army Army are the main characters in the battle of Songgufeng. Although their different personalities do not prevent them from forming the most tacit "iron triangle", they are in high spirits when they gather in North Korea, and their happiness of being reunited for a long time is in sharp contrast to the purgatory-like misery of the world on Songgufeng. Become one of the most tearful plots in the film. The film also moved a large audience at the Dandong station road show yesterday. Director Chen Kaige, along with producer and chief producer Chen Hong, and actors Xin Baiqing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Zifeng, Wang Jiao, and Chen Feiyu appeared at the post-screening meeting to communicate with the enthusiastic Dandong audience. Director Chen Kaige, who has just visited the Memorial Hall to resist US aggression and Aid Korea, said that Dandong, a heroic city that once watched volunteers fight in North Korea, is very happy to welcome a number of new students to watch movies here to pay tribute to the martyrs. Actor Xin Baiqing also said: "Today, I am very excited to be able to set foot on the broken bridge of the Yalu River and walk the road that volunteer soldiers have traveled." Subsequently, the audience who could not restrain their excitement also expressed their feelings of watching the movie one after another. A young audience could not help choking up several times when he talked about the film in which the volunteer soldiers used flesh and blood to resist the sophisticated weapons of the enemy and built a peaceful defense line in the spirit of "not afraid of death." At the scene, there were also audiences who had fought in North Korea: "stories with family memories can be truly displayed on the screen today, and my grandparents have become living soldiers in the film." What's more, veterans of the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea came to the scene to watch the movie, and the audience applauded with thunderous applause, and the audience paid the highest tribute to their fearless spirit of sacrificing their lives. Full characters are branded in the hearts of the audience, and the film tells the great deeds of the sons and daughters of China in the way of group images.

ingenious creation! Don't miss any details from "big" to "small"

Director Chen Kaige once said that the Volunteer trilogy is the hardest creation in his 40 years of filming, the panoramic story capacity is a severe test for all creators, and the theme of the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea makes people dare not relax. It took nearly two years to prepare the film, with tens of thousands of design drawings and concept drawings added up. Except for the field scenes, only the scenes built and organized by the crew, the total area of the shooting site is as high as 1 million square meters. In addition to the proportional restoration of the United Nations scene, the crew went to the surveying and mapping data of the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong and restored the Yalu River Bridge at 1:1 in combination with historical data. They even built all the courtyards of Zhongnanhai in 1950, covering an area of nearly 10, 000 square meters. The creators try their best to make these important scenes real, so that the actors can be immersed in them from the moment they walk in.

The volunteers have more than 100,000 props, and art director Lu Wei has revealed that they have bought a lot of "antiques" from second-hand platforms, so many of the front-line battle scenes are from the 1940s or 1950s. Lu Wei said: "the old object itself has its temperature, although we can also do it, but if there is real, then we try to use it." The entire trilogy involves a total of about 25000 sets of clothing, of which nearly 50% are volunteer uniforms, each of which goes through seven or eight steps to make clothes worn and fought at different stages. The volunteers also have more than 1800 sets of backpacks.

Even in very small places, director Chen Kaige is absolutely strict. For example, Wu Benzheng (Zhu Yawen is acted the role of) how much white hair should there be? What color and color should his tie be? Can the earrings of Tang Sheng (Zhang Ziyi) convey some delicate emotions in addition to the simple shape? These problems were solved one by one by the director at the scene. With such ingenuity to complete a film, I believe that when watching the film, the audience will feel the sincerity of the creator and experience the heroic and tenacious years of the sons and daughters of China in the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea 70 years ago.
