Chapter 192 is officially released
On 8 May, the "Jiefangjun Bao" and the "National Defense Soldier Daily" of the Kunshu Military Region both published a field newsletter on our army's recapture of the main peak of Kuolin Mountain, and then the "People's Daily," "Yunnan Daily," "Guizhou Daily," and other media all forwarded the news of our army's recovery of the main peak of Kuolin Mountain.
The Chinese people hated Vietnam very much, and they all felt that we were in such a difficult situation, and they also gave Vietnam the greatest assistance, whether it was weapons and equipment, or food supplies, they did not hesitate. As a result, after the reunification of their country, instead of thanking China, they took revenge for invading and occupying Chinese territory. Now when we hear that our army has regained the main peak of Ku Lam Mountain, which was occupied by the Vietnamese army, students, ordinary workers, and government cadres all cheer and feel that the Vietnamese cannot be allowed to forcibly occupy an inch of our land.
At the same time, China News Service published a long newsletter written by Su Bai and the intern teacher, "The crew of "Falcon" went to the front line in southern Yunnan to express condolences and screenings. This article vividly depicts the experience of the "Falcon" team on the front line, how they overcame many difficulties and screened it on the front line, how they had a party with the soldiers in front of the cat's ear hole, and also about the reaction of the soldiers after watching "The Falcon", about how they shouted "Collect into my territory" after watching the movie, and about how they wrote a petition after watching the movie.
After Su Bai's article was published, not only was it forwarded by many domestic media, but also some foreign media reported on the "Falcon" crew going to the front line to screen it. Because the shortlist for the Cannes Film Festival has come out, "Falcon" is the film in the screening unit.
After the publication of Su Bai's newsletter, it caused a huge repercussion in China. Zhou Lijin and Tang Guoqiang are both popular students, no one expected that they would go to the front line to show movies for the soldiers and perform shows for the soldiers. Especially when I saw them performing a show for the soldiers in front of the cat's ear hole, it was possible for the Vietnamese army to open fire, and many readers were moved by them. Everyone thinks that although they are not on the front line like soldiers, they can go to the front line to show movies and perform for soldiers, which is also respectable.
After Tang Guoqiang starred in Xiaohua, he was called a cream boy by many people, and he felt that a real man should be like Ken Takakura. After this report came out, many people who liked Tang Guoqiang said, Who said that Tang Guoqiang was a cream boy? Does a cream boy dare to go to the front line, dare to go to the front line to show movies to the soldiers, and dare to go to the front line to perform for the soldiers? Tang Guoqiang is a real man!
Su Bai's communication made countless viewers know the movie "Falcon", and knew that this is a movie that depicts self-defense and counterattack, and it is a movie that makes the soldiers applaud. After the publication of this newsletter, the appetite of countless viewers was aroused, and they all eagerly awaited it, wanting to enter the cinema for the first time.
Early in the morning of May 12th, movie theaters across the country hung up posters of "Falcon", in the center of the picture Yan Shuangying carried the radio station on his back, wore headphones, stretched out his left hand, and measured the distance ahead with his thumb and little finger; below Yan Shuangying, several vague figures were running forward quickly, that was the Falcon Squad; above Yan Shuangying were two big red characters - Falcon.
In Yangquan, Shanxi, 16-year-old Liu Cixin came out of his home, stopped Zhang Hai, who was in the same class, at the intersection, handed him the leave slip, and ran to the cinema. He ran fast, and the morning breeze blew in his mouth, into his lungs, and made him pant like a cow. However, his steps did not slow down in the slightest, and he walked towards the cinema at high speed.
Liu Cixin, like all high school students, gathered in twos and threes during the 10-minute break or self-study class, talked about the war, denounced the ungrateful Vietnamese devils with righteous indignation, and rejoiced at the victory of the People's Liberation Army. Many students even expressed their hope to pick up guns and go to the front line to fight bloodily for the motherland.
Liu Cixin watched the news of our army's income deduction of Lin Shan, and also watched the news of the "Falcon" crew going to the front line to screen it, and like countless domestic audiences who were waiting for it, he hoped to see this movie as soon as possible.
Liu Cixin came to the cinema like the wind, but the situation in front of him startled him. Queuing to watch a movie is nothing new, as long as it is a popular movie, the audience who buys tickets will line up for a long time. It's just that there are too many people in line today, and there are thousands of people!
Just when Liu Cixin was stunned, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Liu Cixin! Liu Cixin!" He looked up and saw that his classmate Yan Hua was waving at him in the crowd. He immediately ran over and said with a smile: "You actually skipped school!" Yan Hua smiled: "Aren't you also skipping school!" Liu Cixin smiled embarrassedly: "I read that the newspaper praised this movie as rare in the sky and on earth, so I couldn't help but want to watch it." He took out two cents and handed it to Yan Hua: "Help me buy a ticket." β
After waiting outside the ticket window for nearly an hour, Liu Cixin finally got the movie ticket. After waiting for more than half an hour, he finally walked into the movie, waiting with anticrisy for the movie to begin.
Like all audiences in this era, Liu Cixin has watched a lot of war films "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and so on. However, after the movie began, Liu Cixin was immediately shocked, and the footage of our tanks charging at the Vietnamese positions with overwhelming momentum was simply dumbfounded. Later, the Falcon team rescued overseas Chinese, hit radar stations, broke through mine arrays, and finally our army bombarded the Vietnamese army, which can be said to be burning from beginning to end, and the tension brought by the camera is simply breathless.
After the 120-minute movie, Liu Cixin sat on the bench, looking at the screen in a daze. The movie ended, but the footage of our army's tank group rushing to the Vietnamese army's position was replayed in his mind, and the fire that had been burning for nearly 120 minutes in his heart was still burning, and his blood was gurgling and steaming.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, raised his right hand high, and shouted with great vitality: "Kill the white-eyed wolf!" and recover my territory!" Liu Cixin stood up, and shouted in unison with the audience: "Kill the white-eyed wolf!" and recover my territory! Someone shouted again: "Long live the PLA!" Liu Cixin also shouted: "Long live the PLA!"
Not only Yangquan Cinema, but also in Kunming, Rongcheng, Beiping, and Magic City, countless movie theaters across the country are like this, and there are people shouting slogans. Everyone shouted the same slogan, either scolding the Vietnamese white-eyed wolves, or shouting to recover the country.
"Falcon" is not the first film to depict a self-defense counterattack, last year Bayi Factory filmed "Iron Armor 008", and Xiuying Studio filmed "Young Friends". However, the two movies did not reflect very well after they were released, and there were many criticisms, mainly because they thought there were too many love scenes.
"Young Friends" is better, "Iron Armor 008" is really scolded bloody, many people think that there are too many scenes of falling in love in battle, which are seriously out of reality; tank soldiers are not good at fighting, they always think about painting, they are lyrical, they are really naΓ―ve; the lines are stiff, the missionary taste is too strong, and the acting is very fake, etc.
The army's evaluation of "Ironclad 008" is even worse, all kinds of accusations are a mess, and some veterans even scolded: "What kind of thing, it's all about falling in love in the tank!" Some newspapers also published cartoons satirizing "Ironclad 008", which depicts many arrows with red hearts shooting at a tank, and there is a man and a woman in the tank.
It is taboo to depict love during the sports period, and even if there is a spouse, the spouse cannot appear. For example, Aqing's sister-in-law in "Shajiabang" has a husband, and her husband Aqing has never shown up. After the end of the movement, the literary and artistic circles gained creative freedom, and love became the content of competition and depiction. In the eyes of some creators, soldiers are also ordinary people, with seven emotions and six desires, and adding love to the theme of describing soldiers will make them appear more humane.
There is no problem with this idea itself, it is not impossible to add a little emotional line to the military theme, such as the later "Wolf Warrior" and "Red Sea Operation" have emotional scenes, among which the emotional scenes between Shi and Tong Li in "Red Sea Operation" are particularly moving. However, many creators don't know what the audience wants to watch, thinking that the audience likes to watch soldiers fall in love, making military content a side dish and making love a main course. Especially after 2000, domestic military dramas have basically become romance idol dramas dressed in the army, as if they didn't shoot if they didn't fall in love.
Xu Wangqiu naturally would not make this kind of mistake, he knew very well that the audience watched the movie of self-defense and counterattack either to watch anything else, or to see how the People's Liberation Army cleaned up the white-eyed wolf of Vietnam. "Falcon" didn't talk about anything else, that is, the falcon squad of our army infiltrated the enemy-occupied area, fought wits and courage with the Vietnamese army, and finally led our artillery to destroy the Vietnamese army, which is what the audience wants to see the most. Coupled with the huge scenes, fierce conflicts, and ups and downs of the story, the audience is naturally refreshed after watching it.
After shouting slogans, the audience in the cinema began to walk out. Liu Cixin and Yan Hua were discussing as they followed the crowd out. The people around them were talking enthusiastically, and many of them had a flush of excitement on their faces, and the fire of excitement in their eyes was blazing.
Walking ahead of them was a young couple. The girl said with admiration on her face: "Yan Shuangying is too powerful, he said to Yuemei, when I bet that you didn't have a bullet in the gun, I thought there was really no bullet in the gun, but I didn't expect it to be a lie." I was completely deceived by him. β
The man next to him smiled proudly: "I can see that Yan Shuangying is scared of Yuemei, if Yuemei's gun really doesn't have bullets, do you need to say so much? β
On Liu Cixin's left side, a man in his twenties, like Yan Shuangying, stretched out his left hand and gestured, shouting: "Regain my territory and fire at the enemy's depth!"
Walking into the cinema, the discussion of the first two young men caught the attention of Liu Cixin and Yan Hua. A man said: "Yan Shuangying found out that Yuemei was a Vietnamese agent at the beginning, but he didn't debunk her, because the falcon's radio station was damaged, and Yuemei needed to take them to the radar station to grab the radio." The man next to him disagreed: "I don't think it was discovered at the beginning, but after hitting the radar station." β
Yan Hua asked Liu Cixin, "When do you think Yan Shuangying found out?"
Liu Cixin said directly: "When hitting the radar station, Yuemei fell, and Liang Guozhu pulled her up. When Liang Guozhu pulled her, he obviously fluttered, and he should have touched the calluses on her hands. Liang Guozhu must have told Yan Shuangying the news. β
Yan Hua suddenly realized: "As soon as you said this, I remembered that it was indeed the case. β
At this moment, someone in the audience waiting for admission shouted at Liu Cixin and them: "How is "Falcon", is it good?"
The crowd suddenly resounded with a gossip answer: "It's very good, this is the best movie I've ever seen." "It's so good-looking, if you don't watch it, you'll definitely regret it!", "It's so good-looking, it's even better than "Manhunt" and "Hoe Rape". "This is definitely the best movie I've ever seen, and I'm going to watch it every two days when I'm free!"
Not only Liu Cixin, they feel this way, but almost all the viewers who have watched "Falcon" feel this way. It's an epoch-making film, and it makes the previous war movies less than worth mentioning!
