The movie “1921” was screened nationwide and more than 60 actors sang “Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China”
Xi’an News Network News 10 years ago, director Huang Jianxin established the leading position of the main theme commercial film with “The Founding of the Party” and so on; 10 years later, he brought a new perspective “1921” to the theater, and used his good new angle of detail to show the audience. Come shock and tears.
The film “1921” was officially released today. The film presents a new perspective, a new story, and new details, which is very appealing among young people. The film releases the theme song “There would be no New China without the Communist Party”. The new version of the song is arranged by Shilei Chang, and more than 60 actors and actresses in the film including Huang Xuan, Ni Ni, Wang Renjun and the Little Yingxing Art Troupe sing in tribute.
New perspectives and new stories bring novel “stranger”
In order to make this film have the “new ideas” that will make the audience shine, and live up to the important task of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party and the audience’s expectations, Huang Jianxin and the creative team have had a headache for several years. You must not repeat yourself, you must be faithful to the history, but also have the story of the movie. They finally chose to break through the panoramic perspective of the previous chronicles, and cut from the historical “cross-sectional” perspective of 1921, focusing on the convening of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai. All narratives converged towards this focal point, and all conflicts were highly concentrated. By 1921, time and space in Shanghai were unfolding. Break through the grand narrative and group portrait symbols of the past, and go to make detailed descriptions of the 13 “big representatives” with an average age of 28 years.
Producer and director Huang Jianxin and producer Ren Ningdu talked about the discovery of party-building related materials in foreign archives when creating the script, and the files of the Communist International and the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department made them a treasure. The artistic creation supported by historical materials has the Communist International line and the Japanese spy line that refresh the audience. Coupled with the reactionary lines of Shanghai forces such as Huang Jinrong, they have formed fierce conflicts with the founding of the party. Multiple international and domestic forces are intertwined, and the risks that come from time to time make the audience sweat. This also allows the audience to feel the difficulty of the party building process and the fearlessness and love of the early Communists.
The powerful new-generation actors try to restore their ancestors
Huang Xuan and Ni Ni’s rivalry caused many audiences to see tears collapse. In the film, Li Da (Huang Xuan) choked and sang “Internationale” to Wang Huiwu (Ni Ni). Both couldn’t help crying. Huang Xuan revealed that this was an impromptu performance under the collision with Ni Ni on the spot-when Li Da recounted: “A huge country, we don’t even have our own kind of fire.” Ni Ni was immersed in it, moved to tears, and Huang Xuan followed. Zhi hum sang the “Internationale”, and the performance of the two actors under impromptu collision was particularly moving. “I don’t hesitate to die first, and then I frequently comfort Jiuquan.” In the scene of Deng Enming’s torture, played by Wang Junkai, his trembling muscles can feel pain across the screen. Wang Junkai’s silent performance won the audience’s praise. There are also Wang Renjun’s interpretation of Mao Zedong and Zhang Songwen’s interpretation of He Shuheng. The audience is not “counting the stars”, but can be immersed in the role in these detailed descriptions to feel the original intention of the role.
Wang Renjun said that “1921” shows Mao Zedong’s youth. Director Huang Jianxin has repeatedly emphasized that when shaping the role of a great man, don’t label him, and don’t conceptualize and stylize him when shaping the character. Deduction, but the need to inject true feelings into the life of this character. Because of this, the actors worked hard to interpret the mental state and life world that the 13 young people should have at that age. Today’s young people feel that there is no sense of distance and can form a dialogue that spans time and space.
Like Huang Xuan, Zu Feng, who also participated in “The Founding of the Party”, said: “Huang Xuan and I played “The Founding of the Party” ten years ago, and now we are playing “1921” again. Ten years later, there may be other people playing the same role. The theme of the movie, this is the inheritance of filmmakers from generation to generation.” This is the spiritual inheritance of filmmakers, the ability of the powerful, the new generation and the old opera bones to pass on in the performance, it is the inheritance of the spirit of the centuries-old party revolution.
Director Huang Jianxin believes that the main theme story has never been a cold encyclopedia entry. While following the laws of art, it is the creator’s deep feelings for his country and nation.Zeng Shixiang, an all-media reporter of Xi’an Press
