Some things you don't necessarily know about Ya Bai, it's a war that was broadcast live, it's a story that hits the heart, it's a movie that earns tears, it's Ya Bai, ten years of preparation and four years of production, after three withdrawals, today it's here, and the first shot for a full comeback after the Chinese film epidemic, shocking enough, every time I see this kind of movie, I hope it's not adapted from real events. At the end of the Battle of Songhu in 1937, the defenders evacuated Shanghai, leaving only a lone army, defending the four-line warehouse, the intention through the sacrifice of the soldiers, causing the attention of the Westerners in the concessions across the river, because the four-line warehouse backed by the Suzhou River, across the river is the concessions, Japan is worried about the war and the concessions, causing dissatisfaction with the Western powers, so do not dare to use heavy weapons to attack, because of the special geographical location, just four more people in the defenders of the Because of the special geographical location, the garrison of just four people fought for four days and nights in the four-line warehouse army, in order to strengthen the momentum of the external declaration of the garrison of 800 people, so there is the 800 strong deeds of posterity, but also created a very different scene on both sides of the Suzhou River, on the one hand is the song and dance, the lights of the Paris of the East, the other side is the broken walls, the endless war on earth purgatory, although the Japanese did not use heavy weapons, but the battle is still incomparable tragedy.
During the process, many touching heroic stories occurred, such as Zheng Kai as Chen Shusheng in order to prevent the warehouse wall was blown open, strapped to his body full of grenades, leap, and the enemy downstairs to die, as if dying, before dying, he left a suicide note to his mother, sacrificing his life to take the righteousness, the child's wish, too.
Before dying, a, mother, my son is not filial. I also let this 200 pounds of fat people, tears wet eyes, we are advised to buy a pack of tissues before watching the film. The film's Suzhou River is the crew spent two years digging out, in the Suzhou River on both sides of the real-life construction of four warehouses and rented houses, the scene alone took 18 months to build, produced nearly 700 neon signs, 500 lighting equipment, lighting lines add up to more than 50 kilometers long, can be pulled directly from Suzhou to Shanghai, in order to restore the real battle scenes, the production team used 300 kilograms of smoke, five tons of waste newspaper and more than 300 pellets. In order to restore the real battle scenes, the production team used 300 kilograms of smoke oil, five tons of waste newspaper and more than 300 flares, a total of 50,000 explosive points throughout the film, weapons and props are also in accordance with the characteristics of the era to restore, even the clothes are deliberately old treatment, and more than 400 actors in a unified military training for seven months before the start of shooting, as early as 08 years director Guan Hu in preparation for the film, although this is a film he must make in his life, at that time, because of limited support. temporarily shelved, because the director of every aspect of the real real, real or real, so the investment generated more and more, the film's total investment of 550 million, but Guan Hu even if it is to lose money, but also to shoot, born as a man of honor, death is also a ghost hero. The film does not have an absolute sense of the protagonist, Guan Hu is trying to erect a monument for these unsung heroes of the war through this film, the reason for the title Bai Bai with capital letters, in order to highlight that person, the film, the three film stars Wang Qianyuan, Jiang Wu, Zhang Ze played three very different character roles, Guan Hu used three animals to describe them. He said Wang Qianyuan as a sheep abduction is a wolf, looking cunning, but in fact, very important feelings. Jiang Wu as Lao Tie is a dog, at first greedy, obedient, but he was forced to show a fierce side, and Zhang Yi as the old abacus is a cat, a deserter who wants to escape by the tube so, and finally in front of the national righteousness also showed the fangs of resistance. The most impressive thing in the film is the old abacus played by Zhang Yi, after escaping and being caught back on his knees kowtowing to the ground, pleading to let himself live, one after another, a plea for mercy, just a few minutes of the play, the director looked tearful, of course, the old C also cried into the dog. Ou Hao as Tuanwu, sacrificed in the film, the time of sacrifice, intestines were blown open, he said he never ate pork sausage after shooting this scene, after the release of the film, a fan sent him sausage, let him eat what to make up for what, Ou Hao responded that the feelings received, allow me to slow down again. The film was shot. For every actor, is a difficult challenge, during the shooting, Ou Ho into the hospital three times, in the shooting of a charge scene, the calf was also cut off a piece of meat. Jiang Wu in order to close to the role of the image, 30 pounds, Wei Chen also thin off the face, one meter eighty-three height, the thinnest time only 130 pounds, Zhang Yi winter in the ice water has been soaked, in order to plot integrity, each shot was shot many times, regardless of the size of the role, the number of scenes, all actors are fully committed to the film production, Wang Qianyuan also said to Guan Hu, if the film is entered, you can The film is a great success. Guan Hu said he interviewed a lot of young people, 90% do not know the four warehouses, or even do not understand the Battle of Songhu, forgetting history is a terrible thing, heroes should not be forgotten, to this day, the site of the four warehouses still stands on the banks of the Suzhou River, just as the backbone of the Chinese people never bend, the bullet holes on the walls of the warehouse are still clearly visible, I think these traces are the ancestors with blood to write a phrase. In this life, I do not regret entering China, and I will be a Chinese in the next life.
