2021 is the Centennial birthday of the Communist Party of China. Chinese filmmakers have made concerted efforts to offer many excellent film works to the audience and present gifts to the party's birthday. Among them, there are films depicting the revolutionary pioneers of the Communist Party of China, such as the revolutionary and 1921, films showing the great spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, such as Changjin lake and crossing the Yalu River, as well as realistic masterpieces such as the Islander and the Chinese doctor. It is particularly worth mentioning that Changjin lake, which was set up and shot with great assistance from Beijing, has achieved a double harvest in word-of-mouth and box office. As of December 20, the box office of Changjin lake was 5.764 billion yuan, firmly occupying the throne of the global box office champion this year. Show the youthful vitality of leaders On July 1, the revolutionaries and 1921 were released on the same day. Both films choose the revolutionary pioneer as the protagonist. The revolutionary tells the story of eight people and eight memories of Mr. Li Dazhao, one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, in the 38 hours before his heroic death; "1921" tells the story of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in Shanghai on July 23, 1921, driven by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, 13 hot-blooded young people with an average age of only 28, such as Li Da, Mao Zedong and Liu Renjing, who broke through the monitoring and tracking of various reactionary forces. Although the two films have different structures, they firmly grasp the characteristics of "youth and blood" in characterization. Li Dazhao in the revolutionary did not show the slightest fear and compromise to the reactionaries at the last moment of his life. Some were just revolutionary pride and hard thinking about the future of the party and the danger of the nation. Li Dazhao and Mao Zedong appeared in the film, full of youthful passion and full of confidence in China's future. Their meeting on Jingshan mountain in Beijing pointed out the direction for China's future, which made people excited! "One hundred years, youth" is the poster slogan of 1921. The revolutionaries appearing on the camera are dignified and well behaved. In addition to their career, they also have their own love and life. In the film, Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui hug each other when they say goodbye, which is rarely seen in previous similar films, which also shortens the distance between revolutionary leaders and young audiences. Star face strength and acting skills shoulder the important task of starring Since the founding of the people's Republic of China in 2009, the theme blockbuster began to invite well-known actors to join, and achieved good results in box office and publicity. Nowadays, this operation mode is being adopted by more and more theme creation. "The revolutionaries" brings together many young actors such as Zhang Songwen, Han Geng, Peng Yuchang, Li Yifeng and Tong Liya. In 1921, Huang Xuan, Chen Kun, Liu Haoran and Wang Junkai join in, making the film shining. Zhang Songwen's acting skills have long been well-known in the circle, but his fame is relatively small. The producer of the revolutionary and Wang Changtian Li, chairman of Guangguang film, the producer, voted him to play Li Dazhao. Facts have proved that Zhang Songwen is not only very similar to Li Dazhao in appearance, but also performs his spirit and spirit, which has been unanimously recognized by the audience. The Centennial gift film "guarding the island" chose actors Liu Ye and Gong Zhe to play Wang Jicai and his wife Wang Shihua. Both of them have made great efforts in shaping their characters. Both their appearance and performance are convincing. At the 8th Silk Road International Film Festival, which closed on December 12, they won the "Golden Silk Road award" for best actor and best actress. Yiyang Qianxi is a young actor who has made rapid progress in recent years. He plays Wu Jing's brother Wu Wanli in Changjin lake. Their brotherhood of blood thicker than water runs through the film. Yiyang Qianxi carved a ignorant, naughty but brave new recruits, and it was love by many audiences. "Chinese doctor", "me and my parents" and other gift films have used a large number of famous actors. Star faces and strong acting skills have attracted more audiences into the cinema. Commercial films and gift films are deeply integrated On September 30, the film Changjin lake was released. On November 24, the box office of the film surpassed that of war wolf 2 and became the new box office champion in Chinese film history. Changjin lake is jointly directed by Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian. Chen Kaige is responsible for the beginning of the film, and Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian are responsible for the battle scenes of the film. The latter two directors, as the leaders of commercial gunfight film creation, injected a typed style routine into the film. Changjin lake even surpasses Hollywood blockbusters in terms of special effects and visual scenes, which reflects the great progress of domestic films in the film industry in recent years. China doctor is directed by Andrew Lau, Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan. The film is adapted from the real events of COVID-19 in 2020, and has created many characters with real characters, such as Zhang Jing and Wen Ting. Finally, he won a good box office of 1 billion 328 million yuan. In the story telling, the film also adopts the mode of common commercial films. It climaxes in the grasp of rhythm and emotional expression, so that the audience's heart is always affected by the characters on the screen. "On the cliff" directed by Zhang Yimou is an out and out commercial espionage blockbuster, which brings together many popular actors such as Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi and Liu haocun. The model of standard commercial films can be seen from the suspense design, fierce gun battle and thrilling car chase. It can be said that the deep integration of commercial film elements and gift films makes the main theme films released this year more ornamental and viewable. The perfect combination of ordinary life and noble mission Great undertakings are fought by ordinary individuals. They all have their own individual life pursuit. How to connect these people's personal pursuit with the cause of the party and the destiny of the country and make self sacrifice at the critical moment is the key to whether the film can move the audience and convince the audience. In the story of "poetry" in "me and my parents", Zhang Ziyi's mother is a woman who silently struggles for China's aerospace industry. The film uses the metaphor of "writing poetry in the sky" to connect ordinary people's family life and emotional life with the aerospace industry of the motherland, From it, people feel the ordinary appearance and noble and great heart of the mother. Peng Dehuai, played by Ding yongdai, is the most important role in the film across the Yalu River. The film does not portray an unsmiling and daunting military image as before. Peng Dehuai in the film is like a common middle-aged man in life. He can dance when he is happy and curse his mother when he loses. When he hears Comrade Mao anying's sacrifice, he cries in public. Such Peng Dehuai makes people feel more cordial, respectable and lovely, and shortens the distance between the audience and the characters. Industry view New mainstream blockbusters are becoming more and more beautiful Sha Dan (curator of China Film Archive) This year's Centennial gift films for the founding of the party use various means to make the films more and more viewable and closer to the audience. For example, in 1921, in order to attract the attention of the audience, the element of espionage was specially added to the film. The film focuses on the slogan of "one hundred years, youth". What should be passed on to the audience is the style of these young people a hundred years ago. Young audiences now can watch the life and career of young people in those years, and also achieve spiritual resonance and inheritance. Another feature of these tribute films is that they do a very good and solid job in the feelings of the characters. For example, Wang Jicai, played by Liu Ye in guarding the island, has been living on the island for decades. The film well links his personal life with the party's cause and unifies "small family" and "everyone". In the past, the shooting of these theme blockbusters was led by state-owned enterprises such as China film. However, in these gift films this year, private film enterprises and state-owned film enterprises are more and more linked, which has also improved the quality and reputation of new mainstream films. For example, Changjin lake was produced by Bona film. Beijing set up a project and organized the creation to assist in the shooting. "Revolutionaries" was produced by ray film and CO produced by the Publicity Department of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and the Publicity Department of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee. The deep participation of private film enterprises has promoted China's film and television creation from a big film country to a powerful film country, and from a film plateau to a film peak.
