The movie "The Battle of Xiangjiang" produced by Bayi Film Studio will be released nationwide on June 30. The film panoramically describes the tragic story of the Red Army's bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River at great sacrifices. It shows the Red Army soldiers' infinite loyalty to the revolution and firm belief in the Party, composing a heroic epic. Before its release, the film had been screened in many places across the country for military officers and soldiers and audiences from all walks of life. According to the audience's feedback and comments during the screening, the movie "Battle of Xiangjiang" has three major highlights that are most anticipated.

The movie "The Bloody Battle on the Xiangjiang River" uses modern concepts and audio-visual language to present the war, and every detail has a strong sense of reality. In the film, accompanied by the continuous sound of gunfire, bombings and shouts of death, the commanders and soldiers almost always spoke at the top of their lungs; when they argued with different views, they almost always yelled, especially when Mao Zedong argued with Li De and Bogu, his face changed. Face-to-face, staring, slapping the table, and throwing the tea bowl made the bloody battle situation more realistic, and also brought a new style to the portrayal of the leader's image. In terms of clothing and styling, gorgeous colors are abandoned and real nature is retained. All Red Army officers and soldiers wear shabby clothes and hats, covered with mud and water, their hair is messy, and their faces are stained with blood...

This film The realism of the film also lies in its portrayal of critical dogmatism, allowing the audience to deeply understand the dangers of dogmatism. For example, Bo Gu and Li De only knew how to fight on paper, causing the troops to fall into Chiang Kai-shek's trap. The decision to move large quantities of supplies made the Red Army move slowly, and the choice to take the high road caused the troops to suffer heavy casualties in the bombing by enemy planes... a fierce bloody battle that took up a lot of narrative space. And the heavy losses have become shocking evidence of the huge harm of dogmatism.

In the movie, Mao Zedong said: "Soldiers carrying baggage are walking slowly and are tired and vomiting blood." Bogu said: "Then speed up the pace." Zhu De said: "If you take the main road and encounter bombing, you will suffer serious casualties. ." Li De said: "The Red Army is not a coward." Mao Zedong questioned Li De and Bogu's decision, and Bogu actually said: "Li De was sent by Communist International. Can he be wrong?" Through these conversations, further It reveals that what is more terrifying than each dogmatic action is the dogmatic way of thinking behind it, and also makes the criticism of dogmatism sharp and realistically enlightening.

The high-intensity war scenes are very shocking

"The Bloody Battle on the Xiangjiang River" is a military-themed masterpiece that relies on real war history to restore the true battle conditions of the Xiangjiang River Battle to the greatest extent. Just watching the trailer can make you feel "painful". Rivers of blood, gunfire, and scorched earth are everywhere... Every shot truly shows the war scenes. Amid heavy firepower and fierce bombing, the audience was shocked by the sights of Red Army commanders and fighters galloping across the trenches on horseback, pulling triggers with firm eyes, and shouting "Go!"

Historically, the Battle of Xiangjiang River was the most brutal battle fought by the Red Army during the Long March. The film begins with the bloody battle at Leikou Pass, followed by the battle for Xinwei, the battle for Fengshujiao, and the breakout battle at Jiangjialing, etc. Whether it is a blocking battle or a breakout battle, whether it is a mid-range or close-range attack or defense or a close-quarters fight, the scenes are painful and realistic, allowing the audience to be immersed in the scene. Many camera positions in the film are rarely seen in previous war films, such as the microscopic camera positions on tanks, especially the vertical camera positions for high-altitude aerial photography, which allow the audience to instantly feel the insignificance of human beings, thereby highlighting the cruelty of war.

The film is 116 minutes long, with high-intensity war scenes accounting for nearly 70 minutes. The entire film is full of strong and unique shock. It is reported that the war scenes during the entire filming process were completely real scenes. There were no special effects lenses, 3D and green screens. Nearly 10,000 army officers and soldiers participated in the performance. More than 2 tons of TNT explosives and more than 80 tons of gasoline were used. Billowing smoke and smoke can be seen everywhere in the film. Scenes of gunfire and bullets. Almost all the actors are engaged in real battles, and they naturally show a sense of tension, showing the audience a bloody war scene.

The stories of the sacrifices of the Red Army are deeply touching

In the film, every story of the sacrifice of the Red Army is deeply touching: Battalion Commander Lin Youguo wiped out countless enemies in a bloody battle, and after being shot, Tailor Lin, his father who served as a gun holder for him, fell to the ground together. He adjusted his father's military cap. The two were proud to be members of the Red Army. The division commander Chen Shuxiang was seriously injured and his intestines leaked out. The dignity of the Red Army...each of them added dazzling light to the great spirit of the Long March.

There is such a scene: a group of Red Army soldiers shuttled through the woods, singing unknown folk songs from their hometown, and moving forward with hope... When the singing sounds, it will make people feel infinite emotions: Maybe these Red Army soldiers are homesick and missing their relatives far away in their hometowns, but when can they go home to see them? Perhaps, for their own beliefs, they embarked on a road of no return, but they never looked back.

"This is a critical moment, there is no retreat, we must sacrifice ourselves heroically!" In the film, the war is imminent, and the scene where Peng Dehuai mobilizes the commanders and soldiers before the battle is breathtaking. Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Swear to the death to defend the Party Central Committee across the river." Chen Shuxiang asked everyone: "There is only one person left, and he must live or die with the position." Everyone shouted: "Shed the last drop of blood for the Soviet New China." !"
