Recently, the film "Why Are The Flowers So Red" based on the heroic deeds of "Model of the Times" Razini Bayka held its premiere in Urumqi and Kashgar, and Gao Huanggang, director and screenwriter of Tianshan Film Studio, leader of the Propaganda Department of the Autonomous Regional Party Committee, director Abdul Klimu Abulizi, and actor He Gang, attended the ceremony and shared the behind-the-scenes stories of many characters on the spot.
The film begins with Liu Chao (He Gang), the son of border guard Liu Hongjun, coming to Tashkurgan to meet with Razini Bayka and hoping to retrace his father's old patrol road. Between memory and reality, the touching story of three generations of Razini Bayka's family fighting with the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army on the plateau is reproduced.
Talking about the story and experience of playing the role, He Gang, the actor who played Liu Chao in the film, said that he was originally worried about shooting at high altitudes, but after getting the script and seeing the role, he resolutely decided to take over, "Because my father was an old railway soldier, who participated in the construction of the Southern Xinjiang Railway in Hejing County in the 1970s, I had a lot of similarities with Liu Chao's family situation and growth experience, and I suddenly felt empathy with the role."
It is worth mentioning that He Gang's father, He Daibin, also came to the premiere and shared his own viewing experience, "When watching the movie, I have been in tears, Razini Bayka's father, Liu Chao's father, and my comrades-in-arms, regard defending the motherland and benefiting the people as more important than life." Although it has been more than 40 years, from the 'models of the times' such as Lazini Bayka, I see an unchangeable spirit, that is, not afraid of hardships and rooted in the frontier. ”
Recalling the experience of filming "Why Are The Flowers So Red", He Gang still feels that the vivid memory, the creative team of more than 160 people wading through the mountains and rivers in the Pamir Plateau, crossing the mountains and mountains, 100% full-scene shooting, no Weia steel wire, no green cloth keying, up to the 5200 meters above sea level of the Red Flag Lapu Port, the film 90 minutes is far from enough to show the fearless spirit of the heroes, the clouds and smoke are flashy, the sublimation and growth of the soul is more important, pay tribute to the heroes.
