Director yang hu speaks.

Director yang hu introduced the creative background of the film Alone and the behind-the-scenes story of the filming. He said that the story background and characterization in the film originated from real historical events. In the process of creative shooting, it is necessary to ensure that the dramatic composition of the characters and the setting of contradictions in the story are bold and objective and can withstand scrutiny. This requires that the film creation should look back at that period of history from the perspective of modern people. No matter the actors or the creative team, they should go into the hearts of the martyrs to communicate with them, find their initial heart, and find the most real thing they are pursuing under the historical background. The film shows the heroic deeds and firm beliefs of the soldiers through real plots and characters. Every character in the film has rich emotions, which can make the audience have a deep emotional resonance and better feel the power of passion and belief of that era.

Tell the red story well and fill the historical gap.

The film "Alone Army" brings the generous and tragic history of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army to the big screen for the first time, and shows the heroic years of the heroic struggle of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan of the Red Army in the form of a film, filling the image gap of this history.

Zhang Pimin, Chairman of the China Film Foundation and former Deputy Director of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, spoke.

Zhang Pimin, chairman of the China Film Foundation and former deputy director of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, pointed out that the film "Alone" has a high production level, well-made film scenes and a dedicated team. In terms of film content and propaganda positioning, it is suggested to grasp the propaganda point and realize the coordinated development of artistic creation and cultural tourism development. "You are not alone, but the light and shadow continue". While telling this story well in the form of light and shadow art, the film should also strengthen the construction of local cultural tourism, build a martyrs memorial hall, create a local red cultural image, and form a well-structured red cultural tourism chain to make the stories of martyrs more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Chengxiang Zhong, librarian of central research institute of culture and history, former vice chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and first president of China Literary Critics Association, spoke.

Chengxiang Zhong, a librarian in central research institute of culture and history, former vice-chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the first chairman of the China Association of Literary Critics, said in his speech that "Alone Army" inherited the fine tradition and basic experience of combining the realistic spirit of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leading the development of China’s film art with the romantic tradition, tried to sum up China’s experience with China’s theory, and told the story that the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan, which was little known so far in the Long March, was ordered to die and live to cover the earth-shaking place where the Central Red Army went north to resist Japan. In the film, the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan is full of "popular support" and "party heart", "being alone" and firm in ideals and beliefs. This red gene is the spiritual core of the Chinese nation’s self-reliance among the nations of the world. Chengxiang Zhong said that film creators should carry forward the spirit of the creative team of Alone, conform to the call of the times and the people, follow the laws of art, and create masterpieces with profound thoughts, exquisite art and excellent production, so that the audience can feel profound ideological penetration and spiritual beauty, continue the historical context and write contemporary Chinese chapters.

Chen Xianyi, former director of the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Liberation Army Daily, spoke.

Chen Xianyi, former director of the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Liberation Army Daily, mentioned that the film "Alone Army" is a film with a soul and a literary work to promote faith. The film is characterized by individualism, belief and ideological core, which is inseparable from the love and loyalty of the creative team to the party. They have incorporated their firm belief in communism into the film. Chen Xianyi pointed out that there is not only one "lone army" in the long history, but also many touching stories in the Long March of the Red Army waiting for the creators to explore. The film "Alone Army" has opened up a new creative space in this field. Film and television creators should grasp the propaganda method and integrate the ideological core into their works to create more excellent works.

Dong Xiaoli, the chief producer of the film "Alone", member of the Standing Committee of Xingwen County Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Propaganda Department, spoke.

"Xingwen County, as an old revolutionary county, is an area where Marxism-Leninism spread earlier, and it is the main birthplace of the early revolution in southern Sichuan. It is the place where the Red Army passed through the Long March, camped and fought, and the guerrilla column in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou border region coordinated the main Red Army to move northward. It has a glorious revolutionary tradition." Dong Xiaoli, chief producer of the film Lonely Army, member of the Standing Committee of Xingwen County Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Propaganda Department, said that the launch of the film Lonely Army has more profoundly demonstrated the red culture of Xingwen and enriched the industrial format of Xingwen Tourism, which is of great significance for Xingwen to write a new chapter in the integration and development of Red Tourism.

Innovating expression to promote the continuous development and progress of revolutionary historical films.

Literary and artistic works with revolutionary historical themes, especially film and television works, describe the struggle course and brilliant achievements of the Party, and their innovative expression is an inevitable requirement for adapting to the development of the times, inheriting excellent traditional culture and improving the competitiveness of the film market.

Rao Shuguang, film theorist and president of China Film Criticism Society, made a speech.

Rao Shuguang, a film theorist and president of the China Film Criticism Society, said that as a revolutionary historical film, the film Alone has reached a high level in audio-visual presentation. Whether it is a tough battle, a blocking war, a mobile war or an encounter, it has the texture and layering of the film, showing the cruelty of war. At the same time, he said that the genius of the film "Alone" lies in expressing the power of faith and the realm of revolutionary martyrs through the arduous battle and the process of dying, which is more powerful in artistic communication, and can really and effectively touch the emotions of the audience, including young audience groups, and effectively achieve maximum empathy, resonance and resonance.

Shen Weipeng, Deputy Director and Associate Professor of the Department of Literature and History of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National School of Administration)

Shen Weipeng, deputy director and associate professor of the Department of Literature and History of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration), analyzed and commented on the film from the perspective of content innovation. He said that the film "Alone" embodies the innovation of film creation in the aspects of role-building, which not only shows the spirit of sacrifice of martyrs who are born to die, but also appropriately shows the contradiction of characters’ thoughts, so that young audiences can feel the spiritual tension of ideals and beliefs, arouse resonance and thinking, and make the red spirit deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Jin Tao, director of the editorial department of China Art Newspaper, spoke.

Jin Tao, director of the editorial department of China Art Newspaper, believes that the Long March is a great feat in human history, in which countless touching stories have been spread by later generations. All forms of artistic creation can extract creative sources from the stories of the Long March. The movie Alone is a unique one among many Long March stories, which records a little-known history that should not be forgotten. The film not only takes into account the broad historical context, but also deeply integrates daily life with revolutionary history, showing more vivid characters in a subtle way and shaping a group of heroic images with distinctive personalities.

Innovation of communication mode helps the red theme education to go deeper and deeper.

As the first film to show the history of the guerrilla column in southern Sichuan of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army to the big screen, Alone Army provides a vivid red textbook for the education of party history.

Zhao Xiumei, director of People’s Daily Public Opinion Data Center and general manager of People’s Online, spoke.

Zhao Xiumei, director of People’s Daily Online Public Opinion Data Center and general manager of People’s Online, said in his speech that in the complicated new media communication environment, the promotion and promotion of red-themed movies should not only grasp the correct public opinion orientation, but also strengthen the awareness of public opinion risk prevention, pay close attention to the public’s public opinion feedback in time, and make effective and appropriate responses to avoid being biased by negative voices and make the audience lose their attention to the film itself. At the same time, we should pay attention to the copyright protection of film and television works, defend the red literary resources and carry on the inheritance and development better.

Tian Yizhou, Associate Professor of School of Journalism and Communication, Nankai University, spoke.

Tian Yizhou, an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication of Nankai University, believes that the film Lonely Army creates a "memory field" for the audience about red cultural memory, which contains not only the presentation of revolutionary history, but also the inheritance of red memory and the construction of cultural memory. The film anchors the cultural memory in a spatial picture, such as the fighting route of guerrilla columns in southern Sichuan, which can more effectively construct the genetic memory of red culture for the audience and promote the education of red theme to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
