Chen Li visited Junbo with the "Red Men’s Team" and recalled the past of Gutian.

1905 movie network news "Gutian bugle" has been released since August 1, and it has gained a lot in box office and word of mouth. On 16th, director Chen Li came to China People’s Revolutionary Military Museum with starring Wang Renjun, WangZhifei and Liu Zhiyang to collectively review the development of the Communist Party of China (CPC) during the Agrarian Revolution.


Chen Li, the director, also became a commentator at the scene. She was familiar with the revolutionary history and talked about the hardships and hardships of the Red Army during the revolutionary period, with tears in her eyes from time to time. Following the footsteps and imprint of history, the founders also recalled the dribs and drabs of film shooting and felt a lot.



As a tribute film to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Gutian bugle cut into the important historical event of Gutian Conference from the perspective of a Red Army trumpeter, and the Red Army bugle displayed in the museum immediately attracted the attention of the founders.


In Chen Li’s view, the bugle, like the Republic, is red, saturated with the blood of martyrs, and has far-reaching symbolic significance behind it. As an important instrument of the Red Army, it is also the creative source and core of the film, leading the tone and expression connotation of the story.



Liu Zhiyang, who plays Chen Yi, believes that the bugle has a strong soul and energy, which not only plays a vocal role in the film, but also gives them a kind of bloody spirit to fight the first shot for the new China and the revolution.



The important historical photos, documents and cultural relics on display in the museum remind Chen Li of the past when he led the actors to visit the Gutian Conference Memorial Hall to let them know about history and experience life.


Wang Renjun, who plays Chairman Mao, has a deep understanding of this. "The most shocking thing is to see that the environment they lived in at that time was particularly old, and the room where Chairman Mao lived was also very small. Their hard work and plain living style deeply infected me."



In order to restore the truth, the film also chose to shoot in Gutian and other places to better help actors enter the historical situation and understand the ideological core of revolutionary leaders.


WangZhifei, the actor who plays Zhu De, said that the live shooting allowed him to fully immerse himself in emotion. "I even feel that Chairman Mao, Zhu Jun and Chen Yi are watching me at the shooting scene."



On the way to visit, WangZhifei also took photos with Zhu De’s real person, which vividly restored the appearance of the great man. Chen Li took this opportunity to talk about casting. She thinks that an actor doesn’t have to be like a great man to play a great man. What matters is temperament. "A good actor plays who looks like who, and it is the most important thing."



She said that WangZhifei’s performance was very breakthrough. Many viewers didn’t find out that he played Zhu De after watching the film. WangZhifei also said that the film finally realized his pursuit in performance: don’t remember me, remember the role.


The film also uses young actors to break through the interpretation of revolutionary leaders in youth with the "red men’s group". Wang Renjun admits that playing Chairman Mao once made him feel pressure, but the audience’s comments after the release reduced his worries. "Everyone’s concern is more about the feelings of the characters, the feelings between comrades-in-arms, the feelings between the people’s army and the people, and everyone is attracted by this story."

"Gutian bugle" has narrowed the distance with the young audience by popular and young expression, strengthened the depth and breadth of the main theme film, and kept the red gene in the new era.


"After watching this movie, my mother doesn’t have to worry about my history class." This netizen’s comment left a deep impression on Chen Li. She is convinced that the patriotic enthusiasm of the post-90 s and post-00 s is already burning, and they are increasingly becoming the main force in watching red movies.

Visiting the military museum this time and seeing a series of battles and stories behind them during the revolutionary period further inspired Chen Li’s creative inspiration and desire. "I can’t finish shooting red historical movies in my next life, but I will definitely stick to it. There are too many epic battles, such deeds, such heroes and heroes, and such great men. I will work harder to shoot and take on the mission of this era."


At the same time, she also hopes to call on more young directors and actors to join the creative ranks of red-themed films and stimulate more vitality and vitality.



Both the Chinese Civil Revolutionary Military Museum and the film Gutian Military show red history and memory in different forms, so that more young people can see the hard-won revolution and the hard-won good life now, and continue to convey the theme of the times of Do not forget your initiative mind, bearing in mind the mission.
