the creators share the behind-the-scenes stories, and there are also characters in the movie.

When the creators of the movie "volunteers: male soldiers attack" saw the film on the big screen for the first time, Wang Yanhui sincerely shared his feelings about watching the movie for the first time: "it's not easy. First, it's not easy to live a happy life today. Second, it's not easy for the director to lead our team through so many things in 399 days." Huang Xiaoming shared that Xin Baiqing and Wang Yanhui, who sat beside him during the movie, were moved to tears several times. "I think this is a very affectionate film. It is not just a historical film or a war film. What is more is to inject too much emotion for China, for the people and for the martyrs."

When exchanging behind-the-scenes stories at the premiere, each of the creators remembered and felt a lot about this different creative experience. Director Chen Kaige lamented that filming was like fighting a war with his comrades-in-arms. In addition to the unprecedented scale of filming and the performance of panoramic and epic concepts, what is more important is that it runs through the invisible spirit, making the audience feel the sacrifices and efforts made by the volunteers to defend the new China more than 70 years ago. Each actor consulted a large number of materials before filming, made full preparations by reading character-related biographies and video materials, and some actors also carried out systematic military training before filming.

In addition to the true performance of history, each creator strives to portray the characters with temperature, emotion and artistic expression in order to achieve the goal of "high-quality reality" of the whole film. Jiang Chao, commander of the 113th Division of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army, is from Hebei. Huang Xiaoming, who plays the division of Changjiang Chao, specially asks the staff who are born in Hebei and has combat experience about the soldiers' living and combat habits, so he specially shouts hoarse before each shooting to show the true state of the generals on the battlefield. Zhu Yawen, who plays Wu Benzheng, an expert in returned military industry, shared, "the scene in which Wu Benzheng opened the door to attend the meeting and discussed in the film was filmed a total of 13 times, and this is my official meeting with this character."

The film portrays a group of volunteers, but each actor does not ignore the unique shaping of the character. The shocking and sobbing Battle of Songgufeng and the 3rd Battalion of the 335th Regiment of the 335th Division of the 38th Army 112 Division left a deep impression on the audience. Chen Feiyu, Wei Chen and Yin Fang, who played the deputy company commander Sun Xing, company commander Dai Ruyi and instructor Yang Shaocheng, shared everyone's personality with the audience: sun Xing was extroverted and reckless, Dai Ruyi was calm, and Yang Shaocheng had a strong sense of responsibility for the cohesion of the company. They are very different in character but deep in friendship, and they all have a warm-blooded heart and a belief that they will never give up. The audience also praised Li Xiao for his tears at the UN Security Council. Zhang Zifeng, who plays Li Xiao, shared that the tears were released and showed her true feelings. When she saw China's national brand on the UN Security Council meeting, when she hung up the key to her house, "one key has connected two homes, one is a small home, the other is everyone." There was a lot of applause at the premiere, and the audience frequently spontaneously applauded the film and the countless sincerity, respect and sincerity behind it.
