Pioneer 193 1 director's commentary

The style of this play is an anti-Japanese epic. Engels once said: Anger makes poets. 193 1 September 18 is the most unforgettable day for China people. 1931September 18, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast of China suddenly attacked Shenyang and attacked the northeast by force. /kloc-in September of 0/8, the Japanese created the "Wicker Lake Incident" and launched a war of aggression against China. From/KOOC-0/93/KOOC-0/September/KOOC-0/8, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched this war to/KOOC-0/945, which ended in China's victory on September 2, the time was/KOOC-0/4. Historians used to count the victory of the Anti-Japanese War from1July 7, 937 to1September 2, 945 as eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. Since General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech at the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it has been made clear that the time in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is 14. The establishment of this fixed number of years has far-reaching significance. That is, from the day when the Japanese Kwantung Army launched this war of aggression, the Kuomintang Northeast Army led by Chiang Kai-shek was "ordered" not to resist, resulting in the defeat of 200,000 Northeast Army by less than 20,000 Kwantung Army in March. Patriots from all walks of life in the northeast and even the whole country struggled to resist. Especially China * * * to resist the cruel encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang, while leading the China people's resistance. 1932 spring, the first shot of the northeast anti-Japanese armed forces was fired. This is the beginning of the story of the play.

The two elements of this drama constitute the style of epic drama, anger and tragic.

Anger. First of all, a series of figures aroused the anger of people with conscience: the Japanese Kwantung Army/KOOC-0/93/KOOC-0/September/KOOC-0/8 created the "Wicker Lake Incident", and in September/KOOC-0/9 Shenyang and Changchun were occupied; Occupy Jilin on September 22; 1932 65438+1occupied Jinzhou on October 3; Occupy Harbin on February 5; 1March 932, Changchun established the puppet Manchukuo; 193365438+1occupied Suifenhe on October 5th. In less than a year, because of Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance secret order, the whole northeast was occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Tragedy The Kuomintang has advanced and excellent weapons and equipment, but it puts down its weapons and does not resist. * * * weapons and equipment are backward, but they insist on armed resistance to Japan, and even lead the whole people to resist Japan.

Anger and tragic constitute an epic drama, which also constitutes a strong drama conflict. 、

There are two main lines in this drama: one is that the vanguard team headed by Gao Jian went deep into the northeast to organize, launch and lead the whole people to resist Japan; The other is that the Japanese secret service, headed by Ambassador Iimura, cooperated with the Kwantung Army to carry out a special action to destroy and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China.

One of the creative intentions of this play is reflection. Historical reflection, war reflection, national reflection, human reflection ...

Although the story content of this drama is 30 episodes, its release time is not long, only less than two years. Spring in 1932 to spring in 1934.

But this period includes everything that happened in the war. It is worth reflecting that * * * chose the national war of resistance, and the war of resistance won! Won the birth of the new China! Won the economic take-off of reform and opening up! Won the rejuvenation of China, social harmony, rich country and strong people, standing in the world!

One of the aesthetic intentions of positioning this drama as an epic drama is value judgment or guidance. Beauty, ugliness, good and evil; Great and noble, mean and low. This is the lack of today!

One of the philosophical intentions of positioning this drama as an epic drama is the torture of life and death. When I was in primary school, I once read the famous poem by General Ye Ting, which I still can't forget: the door where people come in and out is locked, the hole where dogs climb out is open, and a voice is shouting:-Climb out! Give you freedom! I long for freedom ... "The lowly choose the dog hole, and the noble choose the gate.

The * * * people represented in this play, patriotic generals against Japan, and unknown national heroes are all capital figures who enter and leave the gate; People who show meanness and ugliness are scum who climb in dog holes. In the words of Su Wan in the play, they don't have an inscription and they don't deserve it. This is today's call!

The director's language is the lens language. The director language or lens language of this drama is formed from the perspective of China and the Chinese nation. Full of political passion, charming national culture, simple eastern and western emotions to complete all the camera language. All the shots in this play will be meaningful, charming, emotional and thoughtful. Those "fake feelings, fake aesthetics, boring art" shots that sensationalize and carve tricks will be removed into the garbage. The only hint for a department is rhythm. Epic drama is the same as symphony, and even any excellent works of art, rhythm is the boundary between works. High rhythm, fast rhythm and beautiful rhythm are what this drama needs!

What needs attention here is the rhythm, not just the director, actors, editing and music. The premise of rhythm is truth, the premise of truth is truth, and the premise of truth is sentiment and sentiment. Without feeling and perception, talking about rhythm is like casting pearls before swine. Therefore, each department's cognition and perception of this drama determines the rhythm and life of this drama.

Photography. Film screen and film vision are the pursuit of this play. Lighting effect and composition, as far as possible sense of the times, strong sense of reality. The tone of the play is warm, which means the birth of life, the birth of light and the birth of beauty. On the premise of the overall perspective, the composition pays attention to the combination of character identity and psychological action, and the combination of events and emotions. The combination of whole and part needs constant attention.

Artists and props. The problem of rhythm depends largely on the perception and perception of the drama by these two departments, which is the key point!

Makeup and clothing. Truth and age are the focus of these two departments!

There are many characters in this drama, and the amount of drama is uneven, which brings certain restrictions and difficulties to the creation of actors.

Actor's requirements:

1, the charm of an actor is the charm of a character. The actor's ego is very important, that is, the actor's own true feelings determine the freshness and brilliance of the role or character.

2. The creative method of an actor determines the depth and highlight of a role or character. Open creative way, whole brain creative way, the actors of this play can try. Openness means letting the camera and director schedule, regardless of the amount of play, and it will always be "he or she". Whole brain is the combination of role brain (life), self brain (performance) and audience brain (watching). Performance is a sociology.

3. The focus of this drama is not only the confidence that I am a "character", but also the need for actors to pay attention to the sense of the times, feelings of the times and life.

4, the rhythm problem. The actors firmly remember that high rhythm, fast rhythm and beautiful rhythm are what this play needs!

Producer. The producer of this play deserves praise. They have got rid of the sense of quick success and instant benefit for novelty, novelty and wealth, and are striving for excellent works, beautiful works and classic works.

As the director of this play, I am very pleased, because I have the same understanding with the producers, and I am confident that the future works will be excellent! The creation and work style of the director of this drama is to pursue three senses in creation: movement, texture and emotion! Strict requirements at work: never allow smoking, never allow gossip and snacks, and never allow being late.

End with a sentence describing the actor: a good actor needs to play himself well; A good actor needs to create a good role; A great actor needs to think thoroughly about human life and death!

An excellent team is United, progressive, not offside and subject to unified command.

Let's work hard. Today we are partners, tomorrow we are friends, and the day after tomorrow we are buddies!

The director of this drama: Guo Kaimin was in Beijing on the morning of 20 1 1 February 12.
