August 1st, as a special holiday, although there is no holiday on this day, many websites on the Internet still celebrate in various ways.

For example, Weite is here, it is to give an open screen page, and at the same time give the first position of the hot search to the Army Day.

And video sites like Station G have made corresponding promotional videos. The number of plays is also high.

The most important thing is that compared to last year, because this is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army. Therefore, whether it is official or various platforms, they still attach great importance to this.

However, if you want to say that the most attention is the gift film made by Xu Ji this time. "Operation Red Sea" was launched on time on August 1.

Many viewers actually don't have much interest in military themes and gift films, but because Xu Ji is the director, mainly Ji Yiyang and Chen Kang, they chose to watch this movie.

Sang Shaolong is different, watching movies is actually strictly speaking, it should be one of his current jobs.

...... After walking into the theater and finding his place to sit down, Sang Shaolong subconsciously began to look at the attendance rate of the theater at this time.

More than 70 percent of the seats are occupied. Although the attendance rate of the premiere will indeed be relatively high, such an attendance rate is still unthinkable for many ordinary first- and second-tier directors.

The most important thing is that this time is not like a popular schedule like the National Day and Spring Festival. To be able to have such an attendance rate can be said to be brought by Xu Ji's appeal.

As the lights in the theater went out, it was still the familiar beginning of Tongji Entertainment. The difference is that this time, in addition to Tongji Entertainment, there is also a logo on the military's side.

At the same time, it clearly reads: "Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army". It can be regarded as telling the audience at the beginning that this is an official tribute film.

Although it is an official tribute film, being able to add the title of Tongji Entertainment still proves that the entire film was completed by Xu Ji's Tongji Entertainment from filming to post-production.

The official authority given to Xu Ji is still very large. This is the biggest feeling in Sang Shaolong's heart at this time. When Xu Ji filmed "Mountains and Seas" for the first time, he was actually just a director's role, and even the roles in it were mainly mostly official actors.

Although it is said that it is still given a high level of authority, it is far from being completely trusted and assured. But by the time of the later "Soldier Assault", Xu Ji's dominance had been fully revealed.

It's like the protagonist in it turned out to be a complete rookie actor, and he went to Hengcheng to conduct auditions.

If you change the director, you will definitely not agree to it. Until this time, even the opening of the film can be added with the logo animation of Tongji Entertainment.

Obviously, it is really completely free for Xu Ji to play freely. Not too many restrictions are given. Sang Shaolong certainly thinks this is a good thing.

After all, if the official side intervenes too much, it will definitely affect Xu Ji's performance. As a director, the right to freedom of filming is still very important.

...... At the same time, in fact, except for Sang Shaolong, the audience at the scene was already familiar with the opening of Tongji Entertainment.

Even many people on the Internet said that even if they just started watching it, as long as they saw the opening animation of Tongji Entertainment, they subconsciously felt that this movie should be very exciting.

Tongji is a product, and it must be a high-quality product, but it is not something to be said casually. So far, Tongji Entertainment has produced Xu Ji's film and television works as a screenwriter, whether it is a TV series or a movie.

The average rating of Petal Online is above 8 points. Other companies have a masterpiece with a score of 9 that has been able to be a façade for a long time.

There is only Tongji Entertainment, and as far as the eye can see, there are basically no works with a bad reputation. At this time, after the opening of the film, there is not much narration at the beginning, and the shot that comes up is a scene at sea.

It can be seen from the subtitles displayed on the big screen that this is supposed to be a mission carried out by the Jiaolong Special Operations Team to fight pirates and rescue hostages.

The foil of music, coupled with the foil of various shots, makes it easy for people to bring it into the plot.

At this time, because the pirate ship was about to enter the territorial waters of another country, the captain ordered that the battle must be settled before then.

It is equivalent to setting a countdown, and such a plot is also one of the means to highlight the tension of the plot.

Immediately after that, Chen Kang, who played Yang Rui, the captain of Jiaolong's first team in the plot, soon started to act. What followed was a slow-motion bullet time of more than a minute, which broke down the original seconds into a minute.

Coupled with the background sound of the clock turning, the eyes of the audience in the theater widened. At this time, Sang Shaolong also felt very excited.

In fact, he has always been very clear that Xu Ji is best at filming many scenes with delicate feelings. For example, the original "Soldier Assault", although it is also a military theme, there are not many related action scenes.

Instead, it focuses more on the psychological portrayal of the characters in the play. And this time on this "Operation Red Sea", although it is only a small plot at the beginning.

But it gave Sang Shaolong a big surprise. There are almost no literary and drama parts, and it comes directly to the plot of the mission.

But all the action scenes in the whole plot were filmed very decisively, without any dragging. Especially that minute of bullet time, it is a great test of the director's skills.

From the current point of view, Xu Ji really hasn't filmed many action scenes before, but the other party is still experienced, and his performance is no worse than some directors who are good at shooting action scenes.

....... The plot of the movie continues, although the mission is completed, and the hostages are successfully rescued.

But Luo Xing, who was a sniper, was injured and hit his own spine by a bullet, and although he picked up a life, he was paralyzed.

Of course, Yang Rui, as the captain, did not tell Jiaolong's team members such news. It's just that because of Luo Xing's injury, there will be another sniper in the team this time.

The rest of the plot is fast-paced, first introducing the situation of a small chaotic country abroad, and a war is about to break out.

And the next task that the Jiaolong commando received was to cover for the next evacuation of overseas Chinese in Huaxia. Evacuate more than 100 overseas Chinese in the small country where China was developing the war, as well as some hired foreign employees.

The pace is really fast, but it's not chaotic. Sang Shaolong looked at it very carefully, in fact, among the main characters in the movie, except for Chen Kang, who played Yang Rui, the captain of Jiaolong, and Ji Yiyang, who played the new sniper Gu Shun, the others were relatively unfamiliar young faces.

Sang Shaolong, the up master of the film and television area, doesn't know it, and other audiences probably don't know it. The most important thing is that in the past, in fact, Sang Shaolong guessed that the main characters in this movie were Ji Yiyang and Chen Kang.

After all, the two are well-known, and their acting skills are not bad. But seeing now, in fact, several members of the Jiaolong Commando have been portrayed, and there are also a lot of shots.

It's obviously not the way to highlight the protagonist as I thought before, but the so-called group portrait. If other directors shoot group portraits, in fact, Sang Shaolong will be a little worried.

After all, group portrait dramas are not easy to shoot, and the shorter the length of the movie, the more difficult it is to shoot. But if it's Xu Ji, then it should be fine.

Xu Ji, this guy is indeed a person who is very good at filming group portraits. It can be seen from the previous "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment".

This guy has a strong foundation in character building, and he hardly has to worry about too many problems. At the same time, Sang Shaolong also noticed some small details.

When Zhang Tiande, the machine gunner of the Jiaolong Commando Team, was packing his luggage, he tore a heart-shaped photo from the group photo on his pillow and pasted it on his equipment.

When he went out, he bumped into Tong Li, Jiaolong's only female teammate, and the atmosphere between the two was obviously a little awkward.

If you guess well, then the photo should be Tong Li's, and it is very likely that the two should have emotional scenes in the back.

At the same time, Gu Shun, the new sniper who replaced Luo Xing, has a crazy personality. It was obviously not pleasant to meet Li Zhizhi, who was an observer as a partner.

This is also likely to be a foreshadowing, and there may be problems when performing tasks together in the future.

Sang Shaolong continued to watch the movie while writing down the details he noticed. At the same time, there is another plot, the machine gunner Zhang Tiande, nicknamed Stone, will carry a handful of candy with him when he acts, saying that he likes candy more.

Of course, such small details should actually be regarded as a portrayal of the character's character. At this time, Sang Shaolong didn't realize that this was actually a foreshadowing.

...... Of course, there are a total of eight members of the Jiaolong Commando this time. It's a bit too hard to remember in a short period of time.

Even if Sang Shaolong deliberately memorized it, he actually simply wrote down the name, but he wanted to clearly recognize who was who.

It's still not that easy. This also made Sang Shaolong very curious, how Xu Ji planned to portray this group portrait next.

It's just that Sang Shaolong is surprised that there is still no imaginary part of the literary drama next. On the contrary, it is a very wonderful gunfight scene.

In the battle with the rebels, you can see the professionalism of the Jiaolong commando. The members of the team performed their duties and seemed to cooperate very well.

But at the same time, the biggest feeling for Sang Shaolong is still true. It's as if you've really entered the scene of a war.

Especially the debris of the building that had been blown into ruins, and the various corpses that were strewn with flesh and blood. It is indeed very shocking to see such a scene.

As well as lamenting the cruelty of war. Obviously, Xu Ji did not plan to make a commercial cool film this time where the protagonist becomes a savior and then kills all sides.

Instead, I want to shoot the cruelty and coldness of war directly. ...... This short rescue mission is over, and this mission is quite smooth, and there are no casualties among the Jiaolong commandos.

And the Heavy Stone also said why he carried candy with him. Because his mother's educational philosophy since childhood was to give a candy, he felt that no matter how serious the injury was, it would not hurt when he ate candy.

Jiaolong's team then received a second mission, rescuing Deng Mei, a citizen of Huaxia. And Jiaolong's captain Yang Rui also learned the location of the rebel army's base camp from reporter Xia Nan.

The rebels also sent a warning to the Huaxia Navy, they killed Xia Nan's assistant Abu, and if Xia Nan was not handed over, then Deng Mei would be killed next.

But it was clear that the mission would not go so smoothly, and soon they were attacked. Although Jiaolong reacted quickly, the bus in which the refugees were traveling was blown over.

Zhuang Yu, a communications soldier, wanted to rescue the refugees, but when he walked into the bus, he saw a tragic scene.

There were almost no intact people left in the bus, all of them were blown up stumps and broken arms, flesh and blood were flying, and wails were everywhere.

"it!" Sang Shaolong was also stunned when he saw such a shot. Is this something that can be reviewed?!

At the same time, there was a sudden nauseous retching sound in the theater. Then there was a girl in her twenties who got up and ran towards the toilet at the entrance of the theater.

In fact, Sang Shaolong saw relevant prompts before the movie was released. said that there would be a bloody scene, but I didn't expect it to be such a straightforward shot.

...... The next rescue mission began, and there was hardly any respite for the audience.

The rhythm was too tight, and it barely gave the dragon team any respite. And almost all of them are all kinds of very real gunfights and action scenes.

It's really adrenaline-pumping. Especially the duel between the sniper Gu Shun played by Ji Yiyang and a foreign sniper child, the psychological game between the two sides made Sang Shaolong, who didn't like this kind of action movie very much, also addicted.

However, all this until the death of Jiaolong's first teammate made the atmosphere suddenly become solemn.

Zhuang Yu, a communications soldier, was discovered by the enemy and finally died with the enemy. Even in the end, before dying, he helped the team restore communication.

And when Lu Chen threw the grenade back, one arm was directly blown up. It hurts just to look at it.

The worst was the Heavy Stone, whose left cheek was blown up in a lake of flesh. In the end, he died in the arms of his teammate Tong Li.

And it wasn't until the last moment of his life that the heart-shaped photo of Tong Li, which was previously pasted on his body armor, was seen by the other party.

Tong Li tried hard to cover the bleeding wound of the stone, but the stone said weakly: "It hurts......" At this time, Tong Li seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out the candy that the stone had given before from her pocket.

His voice trembled and said, "Eat sugar, it doesn't hurt to eat sugar." ”

"Didn't you say that eating sugar doesn't hurt, you said that eating sugar doesn't hurt....." In a hurry, Tong Li couldn't peel off the sugar coating, and the sound of bullets flying by came from time to time.

In the end, she sent the candy to the other party's mouth, and then said: "It doesn't hurt to eat sugar, let's go home, go home......" In the end, the stone still died silently.

...... At this time, there were already many people in the theater whose eyes were already red. Sang Shaolong had been trying his best to restrain himself, but in the end, tears suddenly flowed.

He discovered the foreshadowing about the two characters earlier than the rest of the audience. What's more, he originally thought that the two would have an emotional drama or something.

Outcome...... Sang Shaolong couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Xu Ji dog thief, how can you make an emotional scene like this?" ”......
