July 2, 2021 "No Communist Party, no new China" stars theme song

In the construction of the facade of the "First National Congress site", the joint team of Shanghai film and Huajian recruited nearly 300 craftsmen from all over the Yangtze River Delta, and finally completed the detailed requirements of the director team for setting the scene.

Before the actors entered the group, the film authorities issued a "big gift package" containing biographies and documentaries of relevant characters. With the development of learning materials, script reading and official shooting, the young people's family responsibility, ideals and beliefs a hundred years ago also influenced the actors silently.

Huang Xuan shaved an inch for the role in the film. Before entering the group, both he and Han Dongjun were tanned because they participated in variety shows. In order to restore the literati temperament, they worked hard to whiten; Yuan Wenkang, Liu Haoran, Wang Renjun and Hu Xianxu are trying to get closer to their roles.

Song Yi, Zhao Lusi and other actors in order to conform to the role prototype, had a language class in advance; Ni Ni cut off her long hair for 9 years; Zhou also took part in the sacrificial scene. In order to achieve realistic effect, he fell to the ground to shoot several pieces, and several sets of costumes were blown through.

The director of the film chose Chen Kun and Li chenlai to perform Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao respectively. This is also the third time that they joined hands after the great cause of Party building in 2011. Coincidentally, the birthplaces and surnames of the two actors also correspond to "Nan Chen" and "Bei Li".

In order to vividly perform Chen Duxiu's first scene in prison, Chen Kun specially kept his beard for more than a week before entering the group. There is a scene in which Chen Duxiu, played by Chen Kun, and Li Dazhao, played by Li Chen, are in prison to discuss the future of China. In the process of performing, Chen Kun's eyes are full of tears without the director's prompt, and director Huang behind the monitor praises that this performance has exceeded his expectations. Before shooting a scene of Li Dazhao's death, in order to be more close to the character's pre death state in both physical and mental aspects, Li Chen stayed up all night. The next day, his eyes were black and purple, and his face was puffy, showing a state that makeup could not achieve.

Before the shooting, in order to get closer to Mao Zedong's image when he was young, Wang Renjun specially reduced his weight, and finally achieved the closeness with young Mao Zedong in facial features and physique, which often attracted the whole group to sigh "too similar". In terms of accent, Wang Renjun studied and practiced Russian with Shaoshan accent for the sake of only one sentence of Russian lines in the film.

When Zhang Songwen filmed and talked with the representatives at Bowen women's school late at night, he showed his basic skills of lines. A long line of lines was performed with emotion. Other actors and staff on the scene were very moved.

In order to show the theoretical level and English ability of "little Marx", Liu Haoran made a lot of efforts, read a lot of theoretical articles at that time, and practiced his English lines many times. When shooting the heavy scene of Liu Renjing's fierce argument with other representatives, he needed to talk a lot of lines, and his emotions were high. He didn't get stuck; Hu Xianxu noticed the habit formed by Bao huiseng's reporter background in the process of studying character materials. He would take his book and pen with him and insisted that those who wear suits every day must be clean.

When performing the sacrificial play, Wang Junkai started to reduce food and sleep a few days in advance. On the day of shooting, he locked himself in the hut alone, in order to be more close to the character's long time in prison. Wang Junkai is lively and cheerful. He often enlivens the atmosphere for everyone on the set. In shooting some action plays, he took the initiative to work part-time as "action director" and taught Liu Jiayi "wall climbing skills"; After discussing with the director, Liu Jiayi designed some age appropriate witty actions for Wang Jinmei's character, such as scratching her head and poking her face with a fan.

According to Li Hanjun's photos and historical materials, yuan Wenkang studied the body posture of the revolutionary youth suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. He designed the details of eating licorice tablets before meeting guests, bowing his back but being tall and straight when meeting people, and tried to figure out the lines rhythm mixed with classical Chinese and vernacular; Han Dongjun not only looks like Zhang Guotao, but also speaks fluent English. However, in order to fit the role, he specially learned English accent, and his spoken English was praised by Hollywood actors.

Because Liu Shaoqi's lines contain a large part of Russian, Zhang Ruoyun often hides in the corner to talk to himself alone during the interval of filming. When shooting, Russian teachers were amazed by the fluency of lines, pronunciation standard, language talent and effort.

When shooting a play of patrolling and breaking into a foreign language society, Ou Hao, Zhang Ruoyun, Zhang Yuhao and Zhao Yiqin not only need to run up the steep steps quickly, but also need to climb over the fences on the roof. Zhang Ruoyun even needed to slide down the water pipe. They practice over and over in order to be at their best. By the end of the shooting, several actors had almost become "Parkour talent".
