On the day of its premiere, a special behind-the-scenes group portrait special and a trilogy series of posters were released. Through a series of behind-the-scenes production figures, the special feature revealed the original intention and history of the "Volunteer Army" series in the past five years.

The main creator interprets the details of the film and analyzes the character's heart for 5 years. He has devoted himself to producing and creating a heroic epic

As "Volunteers: Blood and Peace" is about to be released, good news also came from the previous work "Volunteers: The Battle for Survival"-the film was nominated for 7 items at the 38th China Film Golden Rooster Awards. Director Chen Kaige responded to this on the spot: "Thanks to the Golden Rooster Awards Organizing Committee, and even more to our audience. The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea are closely related to the growth of New China. I can only thank you." As for the new film to be released soon, Chen Kaige said that the production cycle of the "Volunteer Army" series from preparation to filming has lasted for five years. Now that the third film is about to be released to audiences across the country, director Chen Kaige is particularly moved in his heart: "Time flies so fast that I can feel a precious friendship at this time. Is this movie that has accompanied the audience for three years? Or did the audience accompany this movie for three years because of the volunteers? I can't explain it clearly. I feel that after more than 70 years, we can still remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and sacrificed heroically for our lives today. I am very moved and very grateful to our audience." As the last film in the series, many various photos appear in the entire film "Volunteers: Blood and Peace". The director explained: "We may have had this experience when we were young. Standing before the table and looking at the photos above, everything seems to freeze in that instant. Photos are our connection to the past and our connection to the heroic volunteer soldiers. Finally, the photos of these victims were placed side by side on the stage of the Li family. This is our review of the entire film." Looking back at the trilogy of "Volunteer Army", the director has always emphasized that "stories about people are truly valuable." Therefore, the film leaves more space to the nameless volunteer soldiers. The group portrait poster celebrating peace at the end of the season is impressive. Chen Hong, producer and chief producer, explained:"There were many famous heroes in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, but there were more than ten thousand ordinary and young soldiers. They came from all over the country and entered the Korean battlefield with the taste of their hometown soil and their longing for their hometown. At that time, we were infected by the laughter of the soldiers on this poster who achieved peace and victory. I think this is the true appearance of the volunteer army and the warmth of the spirit of the volunteer army."

The five-year creative process also made Fu Ruoqing, the chief producer, chief producer and chief publisher, particularly sigh: "From the National Day of 2023 to this year's National Day, it took three years to show the people of the country the arduous three years of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. I think we have achieved the original intention of making this film at that time, which is to present the epic historical process of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in a film. I also particularly thank all the creators for presenting it through five years of arduous struggle." The "Volunteer Army" series has accompanied the audience for three years, and many characters that everyone cares about and discusses also ushered in the ending of their stories in "Volunteer Army: Blood and Peace". When talking about growth, Zhang Zifeng said that the red stone was a reflection of Li Xiao's growth: "When she picked up the stone for the first time, she said that every stone in North Korea should be used this way because she couldn't eliminate the weakness; But when she picked it up again, she put the stone in front of Captain Lin,'We want to know why platoon leader Yao died.' At that time, this stone meant peace, and Li Xiao was determined on what to fight for." Song Jia explained Lin Yueming's insistence on peace: "Lin Yueming is a very great soldier. She has a gentle side and a very powerful side. She firmly believes that peace will eventually come. I think this is the greatest power of faith in her. The role of Lin Yueming also gives me a deeper respect for life and peace." Zhu Yawen said frankly that everything Wu Benzheng saw after entering the DPRK had an impact on him: "As a military expert, who has witnessed the heroic feat of our soldiers 'close attack, I believe that in his heart, the development of China's military industry is extremely urgent. If Wu Benzheng sees this year's 93 military parade, he will definitely go up and touch our own tanks." Chen Feiyu revealed Sun Xing's psychological activities when he said loud and powerful words to counterattack the provocative enemy: "Sun Xing saw the sacrifices of too many comrades on the battlefield. I think he has always had a strong spirit in his heart. This spirit comes from Angry towards the invaders, so he finally chose to speak out his inner thoughts loudly to let the enemy know that the Chinese are not easy to bully. I don't think he regretted it and he stuck to his beliefs." The film also gives many human arcs to real historical figures such as Yao Qingxiang, Li Kenong, and Huang Jiguang. Regarding Yao Qingxiang's choice not to shoot, Peng Yuchang explained: "Protecting the delegation is his mission, but defending peace is his belief, so he took the initiative not to shoot." Guo Tao recounted the intention behind Li Kenong's speech: "Li Kenong's data tells us our previous history of humiliation. In the end, he said what kind of photo we want to leave for China in the 21st century. This is our mission. They did it, and the volunteers did it." Zhou Zhengjie, who plays Huang Jiguang, interprets the heroic feat from his own perspective: "Huang Jiguang's bravery comes from his belief, from his firm desire not to let down his mother, his comrades behind him, and not to let his own The country stops at a moment before peace." Zhang Youhao talked about the scene in which Yang Sandi filmed cheering and peace: "I was very nervous about that scene, but when I stood there, it was like a movie in front of me, scene after scene were pictures of the past and my comrades.'I'm going home' I also said the word 'I'm going home' unconsciously. I will remember that scene for a long time." Wu Haochen said that Zhang Xiaowen also grew up on the battlefield: "When he entered the DPRK, he was still a 'recruit egg'. He listened to the heroic combat story of the Songgu Peak Third Company. Sun Xing's sacrifice made Zhang Xiaowen's thoughts undergo a great change. Later, he met expert Wu and slowly grew into a real volunteer soldier. The 'here' shout at the oath meeting represented that he and Zhang Xiaowen from Shangganling had completed an important mission together." Regarding these vivid characters and the emotions between them, screenwriter Zhang Ke said: "Through the trilogy of films, we tell a kind of inheritance, such as the spirit of the Sanlian Company of Songgu Peak, which influenced Zhang Xiaowen through Sun Xing; For example, Lin Yueming passed on her desire for peace to Li Xiao. This inheritance is also a method for us to tell stories." After watching the movie, Liang Jianyong, the film's general consultant, was deeply moved: "Thank you very much for watching such a film that has been produced for five years. We feel the spirit of perseverance, courage, resourcefulness, and ability to talk and win from the volunteers. This spirit has won peace for us and also seen peace and justice in the blood. This is worth learning hard and paying tribute to the volunteers!"

In the special series of behind-the-scenes group portraits of the "One as One" trilogy released on the same day, the five-year history of the "Volunteer Army" series provides you with more intuitive data to present every detail of the film along the way. 109 script meetings, 7761 special effects shots, 15 interior sheds, nearly 1 million square meters of exterior construction, 11,000 square meters of props library, and more than 1500 people gathered... The huge number is full of the creators 'sincere intention to present this period of history in a panoramic manner. The scene of singing "The Military Song of the People's Volunteers of China" with the veterans further demonstrates the spiritual power of the volunteers. The trilogy series of posters released simultaneously used "famous scenes" from the three films to connect the major battle nodes of the volunteers 'entry into North Korea. During the four seasons, the soldiers have been fighting bloody battles in North Korea for three years. The harsh climate and the enemy's guns did not weaken the will of the volunteers. They used their flesh and blood to win dignity and peace for the motherland.

Trilogy Comrades Reunite in Prosperity, Volunteer Army Veterans lamented "They have gone home"

Surprisingly, three representatives of former comrades also came to the premiere. Ye He and Wang Naixun played Huang Sanning and Zhang Zun, two soldiers from the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment of the 112th Army of the Volunteer Army, in "Volunteer Army: The Brave Soldiers Attack". They were involved in the arduous battle on Songgu Peak; Zhu Yilong played in "Volunteer Army: In "Battle for Survival", he plays Li Xiang, the instructor of the 188th Division Battalion of the 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army. The flying red flag on the battlefield is still unforgettable. At the scene, Zhu Yilong bluntly said that he "couldn't hold back":"I told myself earlier to calm down, but when the whole camera turned to the ceremony to welcome the remains of the martyrs, I really couldn't hold back. Our motherland is getting stronger and stronger, but what remains unchanged is my longing and awe for the volunteers. Li Xiang actually didn't know what his father was like before he died. Today, I sit here and use my eyes to fulfill a regret for Li Xiang." The two soldiers from the Third Company also felt the same way. Ye He said: "I couldn't hold back at the end of the ceasefire and cheering. The efforts of all the predecessors in front were realized at that moment. I remember when filming Pine Bone Peak, the director told us that he hoped that the revolutionary ancestors would watch us finish the film from above. I don't think we have forgotten the Third Company or all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives." Wang Naixun said frankly: "I couldn't hold back quite early. I saw that Deputy Company Commander Sun was still carrying the newspaper" Who is the Loveliest Person "when he died. At that moment, I knew that the deputy company commander had not forgotten the people of our Third Company Company. The spirit of the Third Company has been passed on to every soldier. It is also an honor to be reunited with Deputy Company Commander Sun again in this peaceful era. The two of us will return to the team on behalf of the Third Company!" After three years, they were reunited again. At this time, there was no smoke or battlefield, only full of memories and feelings. Their regrets in the movie were finally fulfilled outside the movie.

Two special guests also came to the scene. One of them was He Lindi, a member of the Acrobatic Team of the Political Department of the Ninth Corps of the China People's Volunteer Army. He entered North Korea to fight when he was 13 years old. On September 12, the twelfth batch of Han China People's Volunteer Army martyrs, the scene of this veteran soldier shedding tears moved countless netizens. After watching "Volunteer Army: Blood and Peace" on the spot, Grandpa He Lindi said excitedly: "I am very grateful to the creators for filming the story of the Volunteer Army. I think this has left a very rich experience and wealth for our motherland and our future generations. The volunteers have displayed their military might! It has demonstrated national prestige! It shows the heroic spirit of our Chinese nation! So I was very excited after watching it today. The happy life we have today is given by them. They have bought it with blood and life. We must not forget it! Never forget!" A sonorous and powerful speech was inspiring, just as the volunteers did more than 70 years ago. The other is Grandma Jiang Zhaoyu of the 12th Army of the China People's Volunteer Army. In reality, Grandma Jiang and her brother went to North Korea to fight, but her brother eventually died in North Korea. Li Xiao's story has grandma Jiang's shadow, and she also starred in the scene at the end of the film where the remains of martyrs returned home. After watching the movie, Grandma Jiang Zhaoyu said emotionally: "I was very uneasy after watching the movie. I feel that the director and all the actors have brought us a spirit, a revolutionary spirit, an unyielding spirit, and a blood of China people! When I saw my relatives returning home, I felt warm in my heart. I felt my brother, their souls and everything about them, returned to us." A special empty seat was also reserved in the movie hall for those volunteer soldiers who had died in the war in North Korea. Later, the creative representative presented flowers to the two veterans and the empty seats present to pay tribute to these "loveliest people".

The premiere also received many moving scenes from the audience. A veteran said excitedly after watching the movie: "Every time I see the cruel and fierce battle scenes in the movie, I am very excited. Countless revolutionary martyrs exchanged their blood and lives for today's peace. This movie once again makes us feel the importance of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. There is a generation of Shanggan Mountains. If the enemy dares to invade again, I will dare to go to the battlefield at the age of 60!" In addition, someone specially brought the same candies from "Volunteer Army: Battle for Survival" to the creators in order to send the "taste of good days" to the soldiers; another small audience member sang loudly "Battle Song of a Strong Army" on the spot and said,"I will also protect my family and defend my country in the future." Another 9-year-old child wrote a poem after watching the first "Volunteer Army: The Fierce Soldiers Attack". Even though he was still not literate at that time, it was enough to see that he was deeply impressed by the sacrifice of the Volunteers. People can't help but sigh that even though the story of the Volunteers has been more than 70 years old, it still has a profound impact on the new generation and can still move and inspire every Chinese. This is the original intention of the "Volunteer Army" trilogy. Use three films to remember the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and pay tribute to the volunteer soldiers with sincerity. In the prosperous world, if you wish and never forget where you came from,"Volunteers: Peace in Blood" will join all audiences to participate in this peace treaty.
