director of the millennium

There are quite a few popular movies during this year's National Day Golden Week.

In addition to "Riding the Wind", there are three other "blockbuster" films competing at the same time, including Xu Guangtou's "Lost in Hong Kong", Lu Chuan's "Nine-story Demon Tower", and "Saving Mr. Wu" starring Andy Lau.

Originally, there should have been a movie called "Charlotte's Troubles" released during this year's National Day holiday, and it would have become the biggest dark horse of this year's National Day holiday.

However, due to the butterfly effect of the light and shadow era, "Charlotte's Troubles" appeared two months earlier than the original time and space.

After the success of Lost in Thailand, the Happy Twist team started preparing for this movie.

Originally, the story of "Charlotte's Troubles" was a drama produced by Happy Twist in 2012. The drama was very popular after it was released, and it was toured across the country for more than a dozen times, and every show was sold out.

With the support of Light and Shadow Times behind the scenes, Happy Twist has the motivation and confidence to adapt this film into a movie.

The final movie version of "Charlotte's Troubles" is almost exactly the same as the version in the original time and space. It was released during the summer vacation this year and won a box office of 15.2 billion.

Although this box office result did not break any records and cannot be compared with "The Untamed", because of the extremely low cost of "Charlotte's Troubles", even if the Light and Shadow Era only accounted for half of the cost of this movie, the profit is not much less than "The Untamed", and it is the company's best project this year.

The era of Uncle Shen dominating domestic comedy films has begun.

Having tasted the sweetness of comedy movies, Happy Twist is working non-stop to prepare for their next comedy film, which will also be a movie adapted from a successful drama.

Yes, it is the movie "Duds" that Wu Yuan had thought about several times but ultimately did not take action to shoot.

"Duds" is a black comedy created by Sri Lankan Drama and also premiered in 2012.

Although this comedy was not produced by Happy Twist, Happy Twist and Sri Lankan Drama have a very good relationship and the cooperation was easily reached.

This film will be jointly produced by Happy Twist, Sri Lankan Theatre and Light and Shadow Times, and has been included in Light and Shadow Times' projects for the fourth quarter of this year.

Ren Suxi, an actress with outstanding acting skills who has always been shining in the field of drama, is about to make her mark in front of the national audience.

Chinese films are really entering a new era.

As one of the most outstanding directors of the old era (the first fifteen years of the millennium), Wu Yuan feels quite emotional.

He has witnessed the Chinese film industry's journey from the cold winter of the millennium to the hot boom today, and witnessed the Chinese mainland film market grow from less than 20 billion yuan a year to the current total box office of 440 billion yuan a year, and enter a new era.

Fortunately, in this new era, Wu Yuan should not be left behind and will still be one of the few people standing at the top of the pyramid.

After "Riding the Wind" earned 1.86 million yuan on the first day, the daily box office performance remained strong on the second day, and once again earned 1.8 million yuan.

At the same time, "Nine-story Demon Tower", which was released on September 9, collapsed in both box office and reputation. This severely modified movie was not popular among readers of the original novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and was even boycotted. Many fans who watched the movie on the Internet shouted that they had been cheated.

Although the movie "Saving Mr. Wu" has a good reputation, many fans don't believe in Hua Ge because most of the movies he has starred in recent years are bad movies, which makes the opening box office performance of this movie still not good, even worse than "Nine-story Demon Tower".

The cinema owners are more cunning than each other.

With the single-day box office of "Sisters Who Make Waves" and "Lost in Hong Kong" both exceeding 1 million yuan, all major cinema chains automatically increased the screenings of these two films, once again reducing the screening rates of "Nine-story Demon Tower" and "Saving Mr. Wu".

到了10月3号的时候，这两部电影的排片加起来才只有15%，《乘风》和《港囧》的排片都超过了35%！剩下的不到10%的排片则是其他国庆档的电影瓜分。

Thanks to the still high screening rate, the box office of "Sisters Who Make Waves" still exceeded 100 million on the third day of its release.

On the Internet, reviews and word of mouth about this movie have also come out.

As a tribute film, "Riding the Wind" is undoubtedly excellent, at least it is unrivaled in the field of tribute films!
Compared to the "Jian Zi Tou" that piles up actors' cameo appearances and has "star bombs" in which all the extras are played by well-known actors, "Ride the Wind" wins entirely by plot and quality.

Many movie fans who were not mentally prepared walked out of the cinema with red eyes after watching the movie.

Whether it is Da Chunzi played by Liu Yifei or Ma Chengfeng played by Chen Xingxu, their stories are very touching.

The quality of the movie is naturally beyond doubt, it is full of passion and Beijing content, especially the scene where the cavalry regiment goes around and attacks the Japanese positions from behind. The power of horses hitting people and the pleasure of harvesting heads accurately show the power of cavalry charge during World War II.

Wu Yuan's version of "Riding the Wind" is a feature-length film, not just a unit story, so it does not have the rushed feeling of the original version. It tells the story completely and clearly with a clear rhythm.

In the chapter "Riding the Wind", the father and son are both real historical figures, and their stories are also based on reality.

Many fans don't know this, and some people even think that the movie is deliberately sensational.

However, when the film reached its end, a few lines of subtitles with white text on a black background appeared on the big screen.

The Ji Zhong Cavalry Regiment was the only unit ordered to fight in the encirclement during the counter-mopping-up operation. In the end, only 1200 of the 300 people were left.

During the great mop-up operation in 1942, Ma Chengfeng, a transportation staff officer, died heroically while breaking out.

To this day, the tomb of eight martyrs of the cavalry regiment still exists on the banks of the Zhulong River. Ma Chengfeng is the only martyr whose name was left behind.

On June 23, 1947, Ma Renxing died in the battle to capture Siping.

In 1948, Sidao Street in SP City was renamed Renxing Street.

Ma Chengfeng’s younger siblings are all still alive.

Although there is indeed some artistic processing in the movie, there is no such character as Dachunzi in reality, and Ma Chengfeng may not have died to protect Dachunzi, but he did die heroically during the breakout.

This is a true story, and it cannot be said to be deliberately sensational.

The cruelty of war is beyond the imagination of people in peaceful times.

The strong emotional impact, national identity and patriotism in the choice between family and country are indeed moving, and countless fans shed tears at the end of the film.

This is what mainstream movies are all about, they always try to exaggerate and sublimate national and national sentiments.

In this regard, "Riding the Wind" has done well enough.

This is reflected in the box office performance, which is that the seven-day box office of the National Day Golden Week exceeded 6 million, successfully winning the Golden Week box office championship! (End of this chapter)
