1950 In the spring, on the eve of the Korean Civil War, Jin-tae (Zhang Dongjian) lived in an ordinary family in Seoul. After her mother and father died, she lived alone with her stepmother and her brother who was ill in bed all the year round. Zhentai goes to the streets to repair shoes every day and supports her family. After marrying his fiancee Ying Shun (Li Yinzhu), his greatest wish is to send his younger brother to college. My younger brother, Zhen Xi (Yuan Bin), is in high school. He is eager to be admitted to college, so that his brother, sister-in-law and stepmother can live a better life in the future.

Summer came and the war broke out on June 25th. In Seoul, where Kim Tae lives, there was no change at first, and I still went to the streets to repair shoes. However, the next day, my brother really came back from school with amazing news of the outbreak of war. Soon, the bell road in the street where they lived became tense, and the smell of war spread here. In the past, the bustling streets echoed with the horn and slogan of pre-war mobilization, and trucks full of soldiers roared past all day.

Soon, the clock road became more and more chaotic, and people began to flee before the war. Jin-tae can't do business at all. He felt that disaster was coming, so he fled to remote Daegu with his family. However, Daegu is not as safe as they thought, and the war has also disturbed the peace here. What's even more frightening is that the president issued an order on behalf of South Korea that all young and middle-aged people should join the army, and Zhen Taihe and Zhen were so absent-minded that they were forcibly taken to the military vehicles bound for the front.

When they came to the battlefield filled with smoke, although they missed their helpless stepmother and Ying Shun, the two brothers had to accept this fact helplessly in the face of hopeless escape. The first battle they experienced was a fierce battle with the North Korean army on the front line of Luodong River. The cruel war made them wake up slowly.

Every battle consumes thousands of lives, and the thought of this consequence makes Zhen Tai feel terrible. He is not afraid of death, but he is worried that his brother will die in battle. In order to protect his younger brother and let him go home alive, Zhentai decided to fight for the meritorious military service and honor, so as not to let his younger brother appear on the dangerous battlefield, so he suddenly became a war maniac and rushed to the front line of the battle regardless. When his younger brother, Zhen Xi, learned that his brother was in charge, the big boy who had been obedient to his brother since childhood decided not to listen to his brother and rushed to the front line with him. ...

Unprecedented super production in Korea

The strength of this film is unprecedented in Korean movies. It is not only the five-year masterpiece of Jiang Digui, a great Korean director who owns his own film company, but also the co-starring of two popular Korean male superstars, as well as a strong investment and production team.

Obviously, in addition to these super productions, "Flying Tai Chi Flag" has great ambitions. It not only depicts the most important war affecting Korean history, but also shows the brotherhood of ordinary people in the war, and also reproduces the disaster brought by the war to the people of North and South Korea.

The crew of "Flying Taiji Flag" is composed of more than 200 staff members, and more than 25,000 extras are used for shooting. The pure production cost is as high as 65.438+0.3 billion won. The film spent 2 billion yuan just to build a location. In addition, the film also reproduces the Seoul market in the 1950s with huge sums of money. In order to reproduce the real battle scenes, the film company of Jiang Digui Film Company, which is responsible for the production, used a large number of CG computers to make the battle scenes and blasting scenes not inferior to Hollywood.

Compared with dramatic shooting and production, the distribution and release of films have also made remarkable achievements. In the film sales of the 56th Cannes Film Festival last year, the film was first released in Japan, and other countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, were eyeing the film. The overseas sales10 billion won has been determined. It's a pity that if you can't pass the censorship of China movies, you will miss the China audience in the big theater. It seems that you can only meet each other on CD.

Four methods of shooting four major war scenes

As early as 200 1, "Flying Taiji Flag" started shooting, and the script written by director Jiang Digui himself has been revised many times. On the basis of the first draft, the creative staff constantly revised the script and made textual research on the history and war at that time. They also invited military experts from the Ministry of National Defense and university history professors to form an advisory group to explain the background and details of the film. February, 2003 10, I prepared for six months to start shooting in Quanzhou, and then filmed in Quanzhou, Gyeongju and Ulsan for eight months.

In order to highlight the effect of the film in the civil war, photography director Hong Jinbiao adopted a shooting technique similar to Zhang Yimou's Hero, dividing the flying Taiji flag into four parts and shooting four battle scenes in the film in four ways. Only these big scenes are the turning point of the film. The first battle highlights the sense of the scene of the war in the form of a complete big scene, and quickly draws the audience into the environment of the movie war. The second battle was centered on Zhentai, and a large number of gun battles highlighted the truth and cruelty of the details; The third battle is the street fighting in Pyongyang, which highlights the disaster caused by the war by racing against those who bombed for their lives; The fourth scene is the highland conflict, which is purely a bitter plan fight, and the picture is thrilling.

During the filming process, the crew was attacked by Typhoon Cicada, which caused heavy losses, especially in southern Qinghai. It happened that the Tai Chi Flag was being filmed there, and many crew members had to withdraw, and the scenery built there was almost destroyed, and the closing date had to be postponed. Although there were no casualties, the film company spent two months to build a large-scale set in the local area, covering an area of 66 1 16 square meters, simulating the battlefield in Pyongyang, but it was ravaged by "singing cicadas".

It can be said that the shooting of "Flying Tai Chi Flag" is a mixture of sadness and joy. After three months of shooting, the usually cautious crew welcomed a large group of beautiful women. It turned out that 350 female fans from Japan rushed to the studio to visit Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, two Korean super handsome guys. Some girls even wore T-shirts with the names of Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin on them, and they were so excited that they shed tears. They also brought banners. At that time, the Gyeongju shooting base was going to shoot large-scale war scenes. Two handsome guys were more brave against the barbed wire and trenches of the studio, and a group of Japanese girls almost fainted.

Comments: An epic of the Korean War showing national courage.

Unlike China's films, which like to take the common people's faults as the starting point, Korean films, whether comedies, burlesque, action dramas or love dramas, all show a strong national complex. "Flying the Tai Chi flag", the most important historical event of the Korean nation, has brought their national complex to the extreme. The description of the historical thickness and the reflection on the war are all condensed under the national complex. From the war scenes in the big scene to the emotional scenes in the details, the audience can undoubtedly feel this strongly, which is also a major emotional tone of the film.

Flying Tai Chi Flag follows the successful mode of Hollywood war movies, from the big emotional tone to the specific shooting and production, a large number of war scenes combined with touching human details, and the participation of 1/3 CG computer technology in the later period, which makes it enjoy audio-visual viewing as much as American movies.
