Thanks to the powerful promotional capabilities of Feixun.com and Danmu and an audience base of nearly 200 million, plus the fact that the TV series itself has a classic enough plot, the internet was immediately in an uproar after the trailer for "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" was uploaded.

The first ones to react were still Tao Mu's fans. While other passers-by and the audience were still immersed in the plot, the fans who were obsessed with looks and acting skills began to excitedly promote Tao Mu's acting skills and looks everywhere. Like an endless stream of tap water, effusive praise instantly filled the entire Feixun.com and other entertainment gossip social platforms.

The high profile of the ceramics also aroused dissatisfaction among some netizens. The first to be affected are Shen Yu’s fans.

"Haha, you can tell the acting skills just by editing a trailer? Isn't this filter too deep?"

"I took a look at it, but I didn't think it was good. I just thought the last few scenes were ugly. It's not even close to the classic look of the little prince in "Purple Sky" and "Rivers and Lakes". With this kind of appearance, you dare to brag about it from all angles? Are Tao Mu's fans too ignorant or are they just blindly bragging?"

"The drug abuse was so realistic, could it be that he really experienced it himself? I remember someone broke the news that Tao Mu was taking drugs, but I didn't quite believe it. Now let's look at Tao Mu's performance in the plot..."

Tao Mu's fans are in a frenzy of licking his ass. After hearing these rumors, I immediately quit.

As expected, the two fans started fighting again.

"You've become a rat crossing the street and everyone wants to kill you. How can you, the fake fans, still have the time to pay attention to me? Is that okay? Have you solved the problem of your fake little prince's school enrollment?"

"Shen Yu fans are so sour, and you still dare to praise "Purple Sky" and "Jiang Hu"? You fake little princes are almost turning these two dramas into a PPT. Can you please wake up by reading the comments of professional film critics?"

"I'll post a picture of the real-time box office of Jianghu to wake you up. Because of the scandal of your fake little prince, the whole movie was boycotted by female netizens and feminists, the box office plummeted, and the investors and producers were crying. I guess no one will invite your fake prince to act in a movie in the future. Of course, unless the Shen Group invests in him."

"Speaking of this, I'm reminded of the fake little prince who appears innocent and weak, but is actually cold-blooded. He takes the Shen family's money and enjoys the Shen family's resources, and can pretend nothing has happened while letting the Shen family take the blame for him. He is indeed the arrogant little prince, without any human touch at all..."

As a result, the negative reports that were suppressed with great difficulty by the Shen family were once again spread by the ceramics.

Tao Mu's fans have always been known for their explosive fighting power, which is also the main reason why fans are unwilling to target Tao Mu. It's not only because Tao Mu owns Feixun.com, but more importantly, in addition to being an actor, Tao Mu also likes to be an investor. Moreover, Tao Mu rarely accepts endorsements and announcements, and has almost no conflicts with other companies in terms of resources, so fans of each company are too lazy to offend such a big shot for no reason.

certainly. Shen Yujia’s fans are always an exception.

While his fans and Shen Yu's fans were caught in a new round of verbal battles, Tao Mu also took the members of the "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" production team and other actors to travel around to interview the veterans who were still alive after the Anti-Japanese War.

"...If we kill one R, we will have to sacrifice four soldiers. Our equipment is very poor, and we are relying on our lives to get through... We have no ammunition left, so we charge forward with gritted teeth. Hold on to R... and die together..."

"I was only sixteen when I joined the army. I knew nothing and couldn't read a single word. I knew that we had been bullied by R and had no way to survive. We would die if we fought or not... At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army said, 'We will fight to the end and never give up. As long as the enemy army does not withdraw from the country, the Sichuan Army will not return home'... There were five fellow villagers in our village, and we joined the army together. After one battle, four of them died... I didn't dare to think whether I could survive tomorrow. You can't see the enemy on the battlefield, and you may be hit..."

"Too many people died. A comrade who was smoking in a trench during the day might disappear at night..."

"Faced with tens of thousands of R troops, our troops fought for three days and three nights until there was no one left. No one surrendered, and no one retreated. Even the division commander died for his country. I was dug out from among the corpses by the passing troops..."

When we look at historical materials related to military affairs, there has always been a saying that "without Sichuan, there can be no army." This sentence actually originated from the Anti-Japanese War period. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Sichuan Army, which had been away from the war, took the initiative to propose to fight against the Japanese. The seven armies of the Sichuan Army, with a total of more than 400,000 people, successively went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to fight bloody battles. Since then, a large number of young and middle-aged people have been sent to the front line every year. During the eight-year war of resistance, a total of more than three million soldiers were provided. It accounts for more than one-fifth of the country's total military force.

That is to say, among the troops participating in the War of Resistance against Japan at that time, almost one out of every five people was from Sichuan. That’s why there is a saying “Without Sichuan, there can be no army”. And what is most worth mentioning is that after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the Sichuan Army took the initiative to propose to go out of Sichuan to fight in the war, the Kuomintang’s regular army at that time looked down on this army. They believed that the Sichuan Army was the worst local force, with poor equipment, lax military discipline, and poor quality of officers and soldiers. At that time, the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone even said bluntly, "I don't want such a rotten army."

However, during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this local army, which was considered to be of the worst quality by troops of the same period, fought to the death and never surrendered.

In the Battle of Shanghai, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army had more than 4,000 soldiers, but when they evacuated the battlefield, only less than 600 were left, with more than 85% casualties; in the Battle of Nanjing, the 145th Division of the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army ran out of ammunition and food, and the division commander died for his country; in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Sichuan Army defending Teng County was almost all killed, and none was captured...

The historical background of the TV series "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" is the Battle of Shanghai, and the protagonist is a Sichuan officer who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. Therefore, Tao Mu led the production team of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" to interview veterans in Sichuan and Shu as their first stop.

The veterans who survived the War of Resistance are basically over 90 years old. He has gray hair and chicken skin, unkempt hair, and age spots on his face and hands. He can't even speak clearly.

However, when they talked about the past events during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the comrades who died on the battlefield, those events accompanied by blood and fighting were still vivid in their minds. One of the veterans even cried and said he remembered where each of his comrades was buried.

Some people also showed Tao Mu and the production team old photos taken at that time and various medals awarded during the war.

The old black-and-white photos have turned slightly yellow with the passage of time, and the edges are worn and curled. There were five young men standing side by side on it. They are all fifteen or sixteen years old. If it were now, they would just be in high school. Every day they have to worry about not finishing their homework, not keeping up with their studies, skipping classes to go to the Internet cafe, having a premature relationship, having their parents called in, and fighting with fans of rival groups online. They have never had such trivial troubles. However, decades ago, when the country was invaded, they had to carry inferior equipment to the battlefield and fight the invaders.

The old man said: "This is a photo taken of five of us from the same village when we joined the army." However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was the only one who was able to return to his hometown alive. But the old man did not return intact, as one of his arms was lost during the war.

"When I recovered, my superiors said they wanted to assign me to a local police station. I refused. I said I had lost my arms, so how could I help the people catch bad guys? How could I be a police officer if I couldn't catch bad guys?"

"I am luckier than my comrades who died in the war because I survived and returned home to reunite with my family. I don't want to be a burden to the country. Our motherland has not become stronger yet and needs more useful people to take up more important positions."

"The motherland needs to become stronger. Only when it becomes stronger will it not be bullied by other countries." The deaths of his comrades-in-arms were not in vain.

"The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" is a typical anti-Japanese war drama, in other words, it is a man's drama. The female characters don't have many roles, even the heroine and the second female lead don't have that many roles combined.

Therefore, most of the people who followed Tao Mu to interview the veterans were men. For example, the leading actor Zhan Bin, who is nearly 40 years old, and several other veteran actors who are also in their 30s and 40s.

However, even these tough men could not help but shed tears with red eyes when they heard the veterans recalling their experiences. Not to mention the few remaining women. I've already used up two or three packs of tissues from crying.

In addition to Sichuan and Shu, Tao Mu traveled to Hunan, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces to interview officers of the Hunan, Yunnan and Guangxi armies who survived the Anti-Japanese War.

They interviewed many veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and took many precious old photos with their cameras, as well as various medals that had been polished to a shiny shine despite being worn for a long time. They also visited the local Anti-Japanese War Museum and the Martyrs' Cemetery. When they finally returned to Yanjing, Director Zhou Hong said to Tao Mu with red eyes: "I am very glad that I filmed such a TV series with my heart. We completed such a work with the best condition, the most serious attitude, and the acting skills of all the staff above the level. I hope our efforts did not embarrass them."

“I hope our efforts live up to that history.”

There are no dramatic mythological plots, no laughter-inducing vilification and weakening of the invaders, no concern for the so-called market demand and audience taste, but rather an attitude of textual research, doing everything possible to restore that period of history of gunfire and rain of bullets.

Let more people understand that every inch of land is stained with blood, old soldiers never die, and the war of resistance is not easy.
