"Garland Under the Mountain" achieved both critical acclaim and box office success.
The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million and reached 120 million.
You know, this is not a popular schedule, and the National Day schedule has not yet arrived.
But "Garland Under the Mountain" delivered a perfect answer in such a time period.
Not only that, this movie was spontaneously recommended by countless people on the Internet overnight.
What's interesting is that among the characters in this movie, the most popular ones are not Liang Sanxi or Zhao Mengsheng, the two absolute protagonists.
Many people may think it is Jin Kailai, and Li Yi initially thought that Jin Kailai should be the most likable character.
But no, Jin Kailai is indeed very likable, but in the entire movie, he is only ranked second among the most popular among the audience.
The first one on the list is one that many people didn’t expect, Liang Sanxi’s wife, Han Yuxiu!
Han Yuxiu, played by Chu Xuexiang, has been called "the nation's good wife!" "the most American sister-in-law" and "the most ideal wife" by countless netizens.
"A woman who doesn't care about your house, your car, your savings, or even your company, but who is willing to raise your children and be filial to your parents, is probably only available in that era. Bar?"
"Sister-in-law Yuxiu is so beautiful. Even in the simplest clothes, even when she is feeding pigs and carrying firewood, she is so picturesque! Her beauty comes from the inside out. To be able to marry such a good woman, Brother Sanxi , this life is worth it!”
"Today's young people always say that it is difficult to fall in love in a long-distance place, and it is painful to miss each other in two places. But compared to the military wife who watched her husband go to blood and fire with her own eyes, what does your suffering and hardship mean? If you don't have the experience of relatives fighting on the battlefield, I'm afraid, I can’t truly understand the worries of military wives…”
"Raising troops for thousands of days and using them for a while. People admire soldiers who have fought bloody battlefields, but who can really understand the military wives who personally see off their husbands into the smoke of gunfire? Aren't they the cutest people? The military medals awarded to us by the motherland really deserve to be hung. On their chests, the whole society should raise their arms and shout: Long live the great military wives!"
Jin Kailai is ranked second. The reason why everyone likes him is very simple and so real!
"I feel like Jin Kailai is like a friend who lives around us. He may not be doing so well, but he is always the first one you think of when something happens!"
"I feel like everyone has a Jin Kailai around them, and there is one around me too. That guy always likes to complain and always complains when something is unfair, but if something really goes wrong, he is the most reliable! "
"If I were to choose someone to be my friend or brother, it would definitely be Jin Kailai!"
Ranked third is still not the two leading actors, but a character that many people did not expect.
Commander Lei!

The total box office of "Garland Under the Mountain" has exceeded 800 million Chinese dollars!
And everyone knows that this is far from the end of this movie!
The most dumbfounded people are Xue Kaishan and Xue Yibin who forced this movie to be released in advance.
Although at present, this movie is still far away from being a phenomenon, there is nothing wrong with saying it is a big hit.
On the Internet, the top three topics are all related to "Garland Under the Mountain".
At this time, the CCTV Movie Channel's program "China Film Report" also aired a new issue, and the theme of this issue is "Garland Under the Mountain"!
After briefly introducing the film, this issue of "Chinese Film Report" begins to report some special interviews!
After the release of "Wreaths Under the Mountain", it became a rare movie with a main theme that received both critical acclaim and box office success in recent years.
Therefore, many regions have spontaneously organized group viewings.
This issue of "China Film Report" focuses on some special movie-watching groups.
That is, those who have witnessed this war, those retired veterans!
Yimeng Old District specially invited veterans of the counterattack to watch the movie "Garland Under the Mountain"!
"China Film Report" specially sent location reporters to the scene to get first-hand reports, and also interviewed many veterans.
It's not a very formal interview, but a normal street interview.
What catches the eye is a cinema, and the movie viewing is over.
Many retired veterans came out of the theater.
Many people are still wiping tears!
"I think of my old squad leader, my old platoon leader, my old company commander! Over thirty years ago, of our entire company, which numbered close to two hundred people, only twelve of us have survived!" A veteran said in tears.
"It's so real. It's like I'm back there again. Jin Kailai is like my old comrade Lao Kan. He is the talkative one in our company. He can't help but want to slap him when he opens his mouth... "
"It's really just a minor injury. At that time, if you could survive, it was just a minor injury!" A veteran in a wheelchair said with tears.
This scene didn’t just happen here, but happened in many places across the country in the lens of reporters from CCTV Movie Channel.
It’s the National Day.
"Hero's Choice" is also officially released.
To be honest, "Hero's Choice" was pretty good.
It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time.
Compared with "Wreaths Under the Mountain", which can be said to be a theme movie with truly unique Chinese characteristics.
"Hero's Choice" always feels like it's missing a bit of flavor.
"It feels like watching a Hollywood movie, but the combat power is a bit too overwhelming, and everyone else becomes a foil!"
"It's a bit fake. The other warriors couldn't get through after several rounds. As a result, the protagonist was chopping melons and vegetables as soon as he came on. How come it felt like he was watching an anti-war drama?"
"I prefer "Garland Under the Mountain". Compared to "Hero's Choice", it's a bit outrageous. I don't deny that there were individual heroes in that war, but this is too exaggerated."
"A high ground that a company couldn't take, but he took it all by himself, what a bastard!"
If it were purely a commercial movie, and if the background of "Hero's Choice" was not that war, then this would be a good movie.
It's a pity that the background is set in a real battle, which naturally makes it feel too exaggerated.
Some netizens ridiculed Xue Yibin as a dog who cannot be compared to a tiger.
Because looking at the personal heroism movies in Hollywood, most of them are actually special battlefields.
Rarely based on real national wars!
But "Hero's Choice" does the opposite, which is a bit outrageous.
