Brief introduction of film
"Who is in charge of ups and downs" is one of the 50 key feature films presented by Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China to the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China. It has also been included in the 30 key films reported to the motherland by Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for grand promotion. Through the sharp contrast between the leaders of the two camps, Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, who fought fiercely on the eve of the founding of New China, on the future and destiny of the people, soldiers and the country, the film reveals the themes of "the root of the party lies in the people, the blood lies in the people, the strength lies in the people" and "the rise and fall of the people's hearts".
The film was directed by Chen Li, a famous director in our province, and many powerful actors from across the Taiwan Straits joined in. This is also the first "psychological warfare epic" directed by female directors with an investment of 30 million yuan. Mao Zedong is played by Li Kejian, who is familiar to the audience. He was the first special actor to play Mao Zedong. Sun Weimin, Wang Jian and Zhao Fuyu play,, Ren and Zhu De respectively. Taiwan Province actor Wu Xingguo plays Chiang Kai-shek in the film. In addition to the similarity in appearance, his Zhejiang dialect like Chiang Kai-shek and his experience of studying in American schools have narrowed the distance between him and the characters. Hong Kong actor John Chiang vividly interpreted Chiang Kai-shek's "Dan Wen" Chen Bulei. In addition, powerful actors such as Pan Hong, Hou Yong, Guo Xiaodong, Ma Yue, Lin Jinfeng and Bai Qing all played roles in the film.
The Achievements of "Atypical" War Films from the Perspective of Psychological Warfare
In addition to becoming the first part of the trilogy, WHO has adopted a brand-new perspective that has never been seen in similar films, telling the political struggle between the two parties from a brand-new "psychological warfare" perspective. In the existing film and television works, the description of the war is often concentrated on the battlefield, and they try to create a tense atmosphere through grand scenes, so that the audience can feel the fierceness of the war from the senses. This time, "Who" moved the war from the battlefield to the heart. "Compared with the fighting on the battlefield, the inner struggle can make the audience more integrated into the plot of the movie and feel the cruelty of war psychologically." As female directors directing a red film for the first time, Chen Li's unique perspective can also give full play to his delicate control of the film. In addition, this psychological warfare blockbuster also used nearly half the space to describe the Kuomintang's * * *, and described the inner game between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in more detail, which is unique in the same type of movies.
