The assembly number was finally released in anticipation of everyone's eagerness.
The first is the screening, during the screening, Qin Xuan invited many celebrities to attend, which made the media excited, and after watching the film, these media began to ask questions around the stars.
And the stars also have high expectations for this film, calling on everyone to watch it, seeing the support of so many celebrities, the media also feels that they have a lot of content to write, plus their feelings after watching the film, they can capitalize it.
The screening ended quickly, but the follow-up report was like a hurricane, so that a group of people saw Qin Xuan's cohesion, and once again through the affirmation of these stars, everyone was more curious about the assembly number, and at the same time, their respective fans were also very curious about the promotion of their idols, just like that, on the first day of the release of the assembly number, it won the achievement of full houses, which made some theater owners smile, and this caused the box office of the assembly number on the first day to be much better than Qin Xuan expected, reaching more than 20 million achievements。
Although 20 million is an incredible thing for the current Huaxia, but for Qin Xuan from the earth, it looks like that, his expression fell in the eyes of other people, thinking that Qin Xuan was confident, and he didn't care about the achievements, but when Qin Xuan knew the development trajectory of this world, he also began to understand how brilliant this achievement was, and such an achievement also surprised those who paid attention to this incident, just after Qin Xuan's news stopped, this matter ignited people's heated discussions again, and more people began to enter the cinema, I want to see what the movies that have achieved such achievements are like, I have to say that the main force of the current movies are students and young white-collar workers, and they are still very interested in watching this kind of bloody movie, so after watching the film, they have to sigh, this is real life, the reason why they have such a happy life is because their ancestors can't work hard.
Soon the assembly number became a popular film, so that after being released for many days, the movie still reached almost 100% attendance, so that the theater owner has been surprised, and had to increase the number of films scheduled for the assembly number again, and the movie has been released for a period of time There are film reviews about the assembly number It also came out quickly, and some people who are waiting to test the water can not help but be surprised when they see these film reviews, and finally walk into the theater.
Sohu shows that the film reviews in the media, although they generally pay attention to things related to celebrities, but this film also arouses their patriotic feelings, so they can't help but start reporting it.
"Creating an unprecedented war scene in China is the biggest gimmick of "Assembly", in fact, this only accounts for one-third of the whole film, and it is the foreshadowing part of the emotional main line of the protagonist Gu Zidi's search for the 47 brothers of the Ninth Company.
Different from other war blockbusters, "The Assembly" focuses both battles in the opening part of the film, after the audience has experienced the audio-visual shock, the main story line to be told by the film has just begun, and the "era of peace" in the second half mainly relies on the emotional power of Gu Zidi to infect the audience. For this more dangerous structural setup.
I was a little apprehensive at first, but after more than 20 test screenings, the audience's feedback was that they were even more moved by scenes from peacetime. I think this is because "Assembly" is a movie made for people with grievances, and in Gu Zidi, the audience has found a carrier for catharsis, which is the most touching part of the film. ”
During the screening, the audience choked up and shed tears from time to time, and the editor said that he had also shed tears for Gu Zidi many times: "I was already very moved at that time, and I cried even more after Qin Xuan wrote the script." It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case at my age, but I think it's because this story evokes a lot of people who have been touched for a long time, those vulnerabilities that have been deeply hidden by us. ”
In addition to the war scenes, the colloquial lines in the film are also impressive. Qin Xuan said that when filming, he was very wary of the clichés of previous war films, "Old war films are regarded as classics by many people, but because they have the function of publicity, they will always say some clichés." I deliberately avoided these this time, because an era has an audience of an era. ”
This film realizes the echo of the ending and the beginning, starting with a trumpet and ending with a trumpet, returning to the beginning, making it feel like there is a beginning and an end.
"Assembly" kicked off in a fierce and cruel street battle, dozens of soldiers led by Gu Zidi, the commander of the Ninth Company, besieged the enemy but were ambushed, and the instructor (played by Ren Quan) was blown in two by a bomb not long after he appeared, and the blood flowed like a river...... The first half of the film is a fierce battle, and the second half of the film tells the story of Gu Zidi, who only survived the war after entering the era of peace, looking for "identity" and honor, which is emotional.
At the end of the dignified opening song, what came into view was a battlefield full of ruins, without any cumbersome foreplay and explanation, Qin Xuan used a man's resoluteness and neatness to put the audience into the smoke of gunpowder, guns and flesh and blood, straight to the point, straight to the heart. In the ensuing battle between friend and foe, the scene was unprecedentedly exciting: when the bullet with the "whoosh" tail sound and light, through the steel helmet, the head was shot, and the blood was splashed, it can be said that it is the most realistic war scene on the Chinese big screen so far, and at the same time, it is unique in the historical background, and the last touching scene of the instructor Wang Jincun writing the list of fallen personnel is "the fourth day of the 37th lunar month of the Republic of China", which fully reflects the respect for history.
Of course, no matter how perfect the story is, there are still audiences "picking". In the scene where Gu Zidi changed to cork to "eat" mines, how Gu Zidi got out has not been explained, but then he suddenly appeared to be injured in one eye, and the plot is a little abrupt; But maybe it's also a kind of ending.
After watching this movie, what I thought of was the fragility of human life, and how many people with stories were buried on the battlefield and forgotten by people along with their stories. The reason why this movie is successful is that it is not a celebration of the glory of the martyrs like previous domestic war movies, but a true reflection of the true feelings and vivid characters of each soldier on the battlefield, the more real the more the audience feels the cruelty of the war, in order to feel the great spirit of the martyrs more, this movie is not to describe how brave the soldiers are by direct means, but through their most real language and the portrayal of their expressions tell us that the liberation war is a big thing done by a group of small people. If there is no war, they are ordinary people, and this is the heroes of war.
