Xiaogang Feng actually wanted to shoot the battle of Changjin Lake for a long time. Why did Chen Kaige end up as a director?

Xiaogang Feng once became the first director of the Battle of Changjin Lake, but unexpectedly, with the withdrawal of Handu, Cold 17 was officially aborted, and the United States also stopped filming. America has stopped filming, so do we still need to make this film? At that time, Xiaogang Feng couldn't release Mobile Phone 2 because of Fan Bingbing's problem, so the position of director of the Battle of Changjin Lake naturally had to be released.

The battle of Changjin Lake broke many records. The battle of Changjin Lake Poster Cinema is a commodity, and it needs to be sold for money. As far as the box office is concerned, the battle of Changjin Lake is undoubtedly successful, breaking many historical records in the history of China movies. However, the box office of a movie not only refers to the quality of the movie, but also has a great relationship with the propaganda in the early stage of the movie, the distribution in the later stage and the node of the release, that is to say, the influence of the external environment.

The achievement of the film The Battle of Changjin Lake The highlight of the film The Battle of Changjin Lake lies in the combination of actor casting and director division of labor. Duan Long, Zhang Hanyu, Hu Jun and Wu Jingdu have the image of a tough guy. Even if there is little fresh meat, their acting skills are actually very online, which is probably related to the driving and urging of those old actors and the training of several well-known directors. But after watching the whole movie, I always feel that I still owe something. Maybe the director lineup still has a lot to do with it!

The director has a strong lineup, except Xiaogang Feng and The Battle of Changjin Lake. Not only Liu Weiqiang, who has worked with the captain before, but also four directors, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, Liu Weiqiang and Lin Chaoxian, one more than Sacrifice, which has three directors.

This director lineup is a perfect match. The three Hong Kong film directors who have made the main theme films, from Infernal Affairs to Captain Liu Weiqiang, from martial arts films to Tsui Hark who outsmarted Tiger Mountain before, and Lin Chaoxian's Operation operation mekong Red Sea, are all great directors who have proved their strength again and again.

In addition, Chen Kaige is the general director of My People, My Motherland, and he should be stable in controlling the general tone. Unfortunately, Xiaogang Feng, the director who once filmed Assembly and wanted to shoot this theme in public for a long time, was expected to shoot this theme by many netizens and was considered as the best director to shoot this theme, but he did not appear in the director list this time.

The reason why Xiaogang Feng is absent is that the film is called Battle of Changjin Lake. Why did you choose to shoot such a film instead of the more famous Battle of Shangganling? Originated from the project of an American film called "Seventeen Cold Days". Xiaogang Feng volunteered to direct the film for the simple reason. Because I have filmed the war film assembly number and have very rich experience in shooting war films, I have long had the idea of shooting movies about the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. Xiaogang Feng said:

"A movie like this, Huang Hong, I'll sign you up first. I have trained and thought about the battle of Changjin Lake, which is really worth filming. Moreover, some people have experienced the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. At night, these first-hand people are gone. " So Xiaogang Feng became the first director of The Battle of Changjin Lake, but surprisingly, with the withdrawal of Handu, Cold Seventeen was officially aborted, and the United States stopped filming.

America has stopped filming, so do we still need to make this film? At that time, Xiaogang Feng couldn't release Mobile Phone 2 because of Fan Bingbing's problem, so the position of director of the Battle of Changjin Lake naturally had to be released.
