My officer and my regiment
Colonel takes you back to that bloody time.
In 2007, Soldier Assault swept the country. The original team did not stay in the joy of victory, but quickly gathered in a small town in southern Yunnan and began to build "my head, my regiment" (hereinafter referred to as "the head"). After 172 days of hard shooting and two major accidents, on March 5, 2009, Colonel finally premiered.
But the "colonel" is not as sunny as the "soldier", because at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only cruel wars, fleeing soldiers and bloody deaths on the Yunnan border. This is not an elite team that does not abandon or give up. They are like a group of clowns, humble, shameless and rogue, but they are such a group of defeated soldiers, scum and cannon fodder, but they are fighting bloody battles to defend their country-how long has it been since we saw a real bloody man? What's more, it's Edison Chen who pretends to be a man but pretends to be a woman to please the public, or the so-called playboy who spends a lot of money but has no real skills ... The appearance of "Colonel" is erin brockovich who is entertaining to death and is the spiritual pursuit in the cross-flow of material desires.
There are many characters with different personalities in Colonel, and four of them are called "Uber" by Lan Xiaolong-Meng Fanle, Long Wenzhong, Fan Long and Yu Xiaoqing. On the occasion of the broadcast of the play, this newspaper interviewed four actors, Duan Long, Zhang Yi, Zhang Guoqiang and Xing Jiadong. They will take you back to that bloody era, to an era when soldiers, love and death are so different.
The Role of "Four Ghosts Colonel" and Different Anti-Japanese Activities
Are you a fan of soldier assault? Have you read the original blue dragon? Do you have a crush on Duan Long and Zhang Yi? The "Colonel" storm has swept the country. If you don't want to lose the right to speak in the fierce national discussion, Colonel is the choice you must watch! Because-
The clown soldier became the protagonist.
Most of the military figures we saw were heroic and upright. They will only kill the enemy bravely and will not run away. If you think that Colonel is also eulogizing "Chinese Expeditionary Force" in a simple, conventional and thematic way, you are wrong. "Colonel" is not an elite team that "does not abandon or give up", but a group of defeated soldiers, scum and cannon fodder. Blue Xiaolong tells us: In peacetime, we need to "never give up, never give up", but in wartime, as long as we live! Even if you use any tricks and pay any price! From this perspective, "Colonel" will make you deeply understand that you are struggling in a law of the jungle society.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression didn't sing all the way.
When I was a child, I watched mine warfare and tunnel warfare, and I was impressed by the triumph all the way. The Japanese have played many times and lost many times, and we are particularly embarrassed-but after playing War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression for eight years, how can we be unscathed? "Colonel" surprised us: run, run, run, everyone has completely fled under the leadership of Long Zhangwen! Occasionally, a small victory is played by a dragon and a group of rogue soldiers, and more is death-you are shocked, but if Lan Xiaolong writes Armageddon and the Battle of Taierzhuang to eulogize the Chinese Expeditionary Force, would you like to watch it?
A little-known history of blood and tears
More than 60 years ago, the Kuomintang sent Chinese expeditionary forces to help Myanmar resist Japanese aggression. The fighting was fierce, and we suffered heavy losses. This "Burma War" is actually a little-known history of blood and tears. The birth of Colonel gives us a chance to get a glimpse of the truth of history. Moreover, the Blue Dragon condensed the top ten most wonderful battles in Yunnan and Myanmar, which must be a close call and exciting.
Many TV dramas always can't bear to let the protagonist "recite" all the time. After some setbacks, it is necessary to arrange some sweets for the audience, but "The Head of Mission" is biased. It will tell you that when you are desperate, there are actually more desperate things waiting for you, which makes you sigh but can't stop.
A different hero and a beautiful woman.
The love scene of "Colonel" is definitely not the main line, but it is not passing by. Love on the battlefield is beautiful and profound, not to mention the love of a soldier of fortune and a thief, which makes people laugh with tears and blood will drop in tears. After watching this drama, maybe women will learn how to pity the men around them.
The amazing equipment of military enthusiasts
Weapons and equipment are the important highlights of the Colonel. Director Kang said that this is a TV series for military enthusiasts. There are a large number of weapons in the play, including a medium gun, a 38 rifle, a 92 machine gun, a crooked machine gun and a colt pistol. There are also Type 92 tanks, American Venice Jeep, American Flying Tigers C46 transport plane and Japanese tanks, all of which are copied according to the ratio of 1: 1. Among them, the cost of C46 transport aircraft will be more than 70,000 yuan, and the cheapest tank will cost about 65,438+10,000 yuan.
Uber 1: Angry but helpless Meng Fanle (Zhang Yi)
Background: Beiping native, deputy company commander of early Sichuan Legion, and head of later Sichuan Legion.
Personality: hopeless skeptic, self-destructive, mean and sharp, and uses depraved behavior to cover up his true thoughts. Just like his name, it means "all troubles are over", but not many people understand that lout comrades call him "hate".
Insider: Among the four "evil spirits", Zhang Yi is the youngest and the longest soldier. As the comrades-in-arms of screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, they have the deepest friendship and similar personalities. In Soldier Assault, he played a peerless man named Shi Jin. In Colonel, Lan Xiaolong originally wanted him to play a weak translator, so he borrowed Zhang Yi's nickname when he was named. But when Lan Xiaolong was halfway through the script, he found that the narrator of the whole story was "I", that is to say, Meng Fanle must belong to Zhang Yi. Then, later, Lan Xiaolong drew Meng Fanle's personality more closely to Zhang Yi's, and Meng Fanle's most commonly used finger snapping gesture was written according to Zhang Yi's personal habits.
What makes people like Shi Jin is that people who are so embarrassed by Xu Sanduo can "never leave" and always take care of others delicately, without smoking or drinking, even full of maternal brilliance. Meng Fanle is different. He becomes pessimistic, but he is real. Colonel looks at the world from Meng Fanle's perspective, so he represents the eyes of the audience, and his thoughts, including the dirtiest and most shameful thoughts, will be clearly seen by the audience.
Zhang Yi: "Compared with the" big "of Shi Jin's fraternity, Meng Fanle, as Mr. Lu Xun said, can't hide the" small "under his fur robe. But everyone has "smallness", especially Meng Fanle, who has a strong literati complex. He is delicate and sensitive, and his "small" is much more extraordinary. He is like an angry young man. He can't accept behaviors that are harmful to the motherland and the people, and he will get angry. But he can't change the status quo alone. Seeing that the country was losing ground before the Japanese invaders, all he left was anger. His loveliness is that when he is angry, he will make irresponsible remarks and say many things that are harmful to others. But if these shells are smashed, we can still see that Meng Fanle, like Shi Jin, has a sincere patriotic heart. "
Uber II: An article about the surviving dragon (Duan Long)
Background: Unknown native place, posing as the head of the regiment, and later promoted to the head of the Sichuan Corps.
Personality: crazy, cunning, funny, hypocritical, vain, irrelevant, and a soldier of fortune with Jianghu spirit.
Insider: July in Soldier Assault was rated as the perfect man for marriage by the female audience, and Duan Long conquered the audience with his free and easy performance. "Duan Edition of July" also inspired Lan Xiaolong's creation, and he wrote the "first" Long Wen in one fell swoop. After the filming of "Colonel", director Kang Honglei praised Duan Long: he is the fastest growing and most reassuring one.
July in Soldier Assault is the soul of the old A (special forces), and he is extremely jumping among a group of "soldiers". He is wild, conceited and unreasonable. However, July is less than one-tenth of Long's article. Long Wenzhong crisscrossed the country, scheming, doing things randomly and fighting randomly. When he sees people talking and talking nonsense, he can ignore the CEO and pretend to be the head of the team. He can also cheat food, drinks and supplies from the British without blushing, and even dare to gamble his life to have a "joke war" with the Japanese.
Duan Long: "Long Zhangwen will try his best to be kind to everyone. This is his rule of life. But it was he who awakened a group of people's numb hearts and made everyone understand that the country was in trouble and we could not sit idly by. He is the representative of the active struggle of that era and the backbone of the nation. Without such a person, our country would have perished long ago, and Japanese is probably spoken now. But at the same time, he cares most about the dignity of soldiers, has great respect for life, and says' there is no result worth paying for life'. "
Uber III: The Lost Dragon (Zhang Guoqiang)
Background: Northeast soldier, commando captain.
Personality: the devil in troubled times, can fight. There is a soft heart under the hot appearance and barbaric behavior, and you can give your life for your beloved at any time.
Insider: Zhang Guoqiang is the oldest of the four. He is a typical northeast man. He is a soldier. He is clever and funny. He also likes practical jokes. People suspect that Blue Xiaolong created the "Dragon Mystery" according to his personality.
Zhang Guoqiang: Gao Cheng in Soldier Assault is not only the son of princelings, but also the company commander. He is always enthusiastic and arrogant. He thinks that Xu Sanduo hates iron and doesn't produce steel, so he finds fault with Xu Sanduo, which is just the opposite of Shi Jin's cruel education law. But he is also like a child, with a lovely temperament. But can the fan dragon in the colonel show off in an ostentatious manner? Thieves and hooligans, huh? He loves life, he is a veteran with strong vitality, a happy ghost who constantly torments himself, and has a true temperament. "
Background: A native of Hunan, he was the head of the Sichuan Corps when he debuted, and soon he was promoted to be a teacher.
Personality: I have ideals and ambitions, and I know people well, but I am arrogant and contaminated with some bad official atmosphere.
Insider: Xing Jiadong's military temperament is very prominent, but he has never been a soldier. Yu Xiaoqing, the teacher he plays, doesn't play much, but he often appears at critical moments. Unlike the cannon fodder regiment, he is an officer similar to the United States Military Academy at West Point. The match between Lang Zhangwen and Yu Xiaoqing was very exciting. The battle of the worse gate is a scene, and the tense confrontation between them is amazing. Don't miss it!
Xing Jiadong: "Wu Liuyi in Soldier Assault is the most energetic soldier in No.7 Iron and Steel Company. He is loyal and strong, and has a deep friendship with his comrades-in-arms and the Seventh Company of Steel. Yu Xiaoqing in The Colonel is still loyal, but as a teacher, he doesn't share the same fate as the cannon fodder. He is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to win. Seeing that his home country was destroyed and the defeat was like a mountain, he could not afford it and could not save it. The more he fights, the more helpless he is. "
The cruelty in the dialect brings a little ridicule to the colonel.
Every scene in the play will hear more than two dialects, four people will be ridiculed in four dialects, and five people will be scolded in five dialects.
Longwen: 89 dialects
Duan Long, a native of Xinjiang, thinks he has no talent for imitating language. In order to master the local dialect, Duan Long asked people from all over the world for advice from the crew of "Head Mission". Because there were no people from Hubei in the crew, Duan Long even had the idea of visiting a newspaper reporter in Hubei. But the reporter is not from Hubei, so he called a friend in Hubei, recorded the lines on the phone and put them in Duan Long. ...
Duan Long: "Long Zhangwen only knows that he was born in a small temple at the junction of Chahar and Jehol, and lived in exile since childhood. He can recite 60 place names, more than 30 kinds of local snacks, and speak eight or nine dialects, which is not only a way of communicating with people, but also a way of life. This is his cleverness and his legend. "
Meng Fanle: Old Beiping dialect, English.
Meng Fanle is a scholar in Beiping, while Zhang Yi is from the Northeast. It is not easy to learn Beiping dialect, but his authentic American English shocked everyone in the crew.
Zhang Yi: "Beiping dialect is different from Beijing dialect now. There are many places in the pronunciation of the old Beiping dialect. I have spoken Northeast dialect since I was a child, and I specially looked for the old Beiping dictionary to learn before the "Colonel" started. There is a sentence in the film,' Do you think my legs are rotten for myself?' The northeast accent was shouted during filming. This is my typical failure. "
Fan Long: Northeast Dialect
Zhang Guoqiang is a bargain. He can recite all the lines in his hometown dialect. The "personal performance" scene when Nujiang confronted the Japanese army was even more wonderful.
Zhang Guoqiang: "I'm going to cut you and kill you, these crumpled calves, what are you doing?" It's all Northeast dialect. There are too many songs in the play, such as Peking Opera, Pingju Opera, Huangmei Opera and Erren Zhuan. I am a dramatic actor, but I am also a child in the pear garden. My younger brothers are all in the drama troupe, and some even sing duet. I asked them to finish singing and record it on their mobile phones. I listened again and again and learned from them again and again. In the scene of Nujiang River, I sang Ju Ping, somersaulted and plopped on the ground to play dead. Many of them are improvisations. "
Yu Xiaoqing: Mandarin.
In the original "Colonel", Yu Xiaoqing is from Hunan, but Xing Jiadong is from the north. After consulting with the director, he decided to change Yu's Hunan dialect into Mandarin.
Xing Jiadong: "Yu Xiaoqing himself has received excellent higher education. Many of his languages are dialects and slang. From a technical point of view, if my dialect is not very good, I, a northerner, still have to speak Hunan dialect, which may not add much color to my role. "
These people knew from the beginning that their fate was the fate of cannon fodder, and the fate of their regiment was the fate of cannon fodder. ...
Others treat them as cannon fodder, and they treat themselves as soldiers!
The death of the colonel: the fate of the shell
Where there is war, there is death, not to mention cannon fodder. No one will pay attention to them alive, and no one will remember them when they are dead. But the death of every "cannon fodder" in "Colonel" is heartbreaking. Except Meng Fanle and Yu Xiaoqing, all the original novels were killed. In the TV series, director Kang Honglei may not let Long Wen, Fan Long and A Yi die, but veterinary surgeon Hao, bean cake and Kang Ya ... all these lively people fell down one by one.
Zhang Yi: "The death that shocked me the most was the death of the veterinarian Hao. He loves as much as his father, but Meng doesn't want to admit that his mouth is still damaged. Finally, one day, in the fierce confrontation, Meng called Hao stupid and incompetent. Then suddenly a shell landed on Hao's head. Meng's remorse and heartbreak still haunt me. "
"There will be the death of bean cake. He is like a rural child who goes to work in a big city. No one values him, but he is happy. He died in the worst battle, just like a child who came out to visit, but he went farther than anyone and never went back. "
Duan Long: "Although soldiers have to make sacrifices, Long Wenzhong's brothers died one by one, which made him on the verge of collapse. His heart is like a balloon blown to the limit, and it will burst when it is pierced. There is no result worth paying', not just cannon fodder. After watching this play, everyone will understand the meaning of this sentence. "
Zhang Guoqiang: "I'm very sad about Kangya's death. Since he was shot, he has been coughing up blood and lying very quietly. Veterinarian Hao said,' I'll get you a bowl of noodles', but when the noodles came back, it had died quietly. "
Xing Jiadong: "For a senior general like Mr. Yu Xiaoqing, there are thousands of soldiers under his command, and the death of every cannon fodder in the cannon fodder regiment doesn't seem to exist. The lack of his personal life is negligible. He doesn't care how much dream cannon fodder his dream will destroy-this is a kind of sadness, which is also the reason why war is hateful. "
The love story of Colonel requires a woman to give a man a hug.
The screenwriter Lan Xiaolong told us that the meaning of "colonel" is that there is no result worth paying. Another meaning is that women should hug men around them more, which will make men warmer and give them greater strength. "Soldier Assault" Blue Xiaolong didn't arrange female roles, which is amazing. The two love stories he described in The Colonel are actually touching.
Fan Long and Jieci Shangguan: Impulse is more respectful.
The love between Fan Long and Jieci Shangguan is a flower on the wounds of war. A brute force, he met her as gentle as water, and fell into the whirlpool of infatuation, which made him not hesitate to violate the military law and offset it with his life.
Zhang Guoqiang: "Accurately speaking, it is not love between them, but attraction, a desire that fascinates dragons. When he first saw her, he decided to protect her. Jieci Shangguan stood for a week, repeating a sentence every day:' I will marry whoever can bury my father-in-law', but no one paid any attention to her. Only Fan Long took this step and asked her where she came from and what her name was. The third sentence is, "Can you marry me?" He made a very beautiful coffin for the deceased, which is the greatest respect that the living can give to the deceased. At that time, his life could not be saved, but Fan Long can do such a thing, which shows that he has a true temperament. "
Meng Fanle and Mouth: Beautiful and bitter.
Love anywhere is more respectable than a colonel. The love between Meng Fanle and Xiaozui (a local prostitute) is beautiful, but it is also bitter.
Zhang Yi: "They are like a grain of sand under a big wave. They are small and lonely and have no foundation. They can't control their own destiny, or even guarantee their own survival. How can they hug each other tightly? " I am moved by their love, but I dare not say how moved the audience will be.
