She once said with imagination: "I want to shoot my favorite videos, I want to shoot videos that soldiers like, and I want to shoot videos that can make people excited."

The lyrics in the video and the rhythmic hip-hop music accompaniment are the most concerned. This is indeed a recruitment propaganda film full of modern character. The public in China is full of praise for them, and foreign media have a lot of comments on them. Although some foreign media's comments are a bit sour, there are also many people who marvel at the impact of the film and complain that the national and social recruitment videos are "not strong enough". The picture shows a screenshot of the 20 16 conscription video.

The background music writer was originally an "Iron Army" soldier.

Some netizens said: "The battle manifesto is a video that can catch your eye immediately at a glance." But in the creator's eyes, the background music of "Battle Manifesto" is a song that can "burn out" ears after listening to it once.

Overwhelming fast pace, heartfelt cry, soul-shaking voice, unconventional singing ... There are too many reasons for the creators to define this song from many tracks.

Singer Zhang Wei was more excited than surprised to learn that China Military Network's 20 16 recruitment video used his own songs as background music. He said: "Although I can't be a soldier all my life, I will always be a soldier ... It is not so much that we dedicated our youth to the military camp, but that the military camp gave us eternal youth!"

Zhang Wei, a senior, is also a rapper with great personality. In 2006, Zhang Wei joined the army and came to the 54th Army, known as the "Iron Army". After the new training, he was selected into the amateur performance team of "Tiejun" because of his good singing skills.

In the fourth year of enlistment, Zhang Wei came up with the idea of creating rap in the military camp and began to collect the slogans of the troops as creative materials. Encouraged by his comrades-in-arms, the first military camp rap "The Longest Song in the World" came out. Once the song was released, it received rave reviews, and the brand-new performance style of "Tiejun Rap" was popular in the military camp for a time. Since then, works such as Testimony of Soldiers, Loud Military Songs and Goodbye Veterans have come out one after another, and "Rap+Tiejun" has become more and more popular.

The Battle Manifesto is a song specially written by Zhang Wei 20 14 for the field literary and artistic creation activities of the whole army. I have been exposed to such slogans as "always listen to the party's command" and "can fight and win". Zhang Wei wrote them into lyrics according to his own personal feelings, so that the fighting spirit that stirred the military camp was grounded and entered the hearts of the soldiers. Comrades have left messages on the military intranet: "This is the song of our soldiers!"

At the end of 20 14, Zhang Wei bid farewell to his beloved military camp, and after leaving the army, he ran a bar and continued to create his own music. Some people in the industry have predicted that his songs will not go far, but Zhang Wei thinks that his songs understand soldiers and are bloody. Nowadays, the popularity of the propaganda film "Battle Manifesto" has made Zhang Wei's songs begin to be sung among young people. Zhang Wei is also looking forward to cooperating with China Military Network again: "If the troops need it, I am on call!"

The road to strengthening the army is growing.
