She can only act as a bellwether for the current situation but cannot change the current situation. After all, she is just an artist. What can a businesswoman do if she hates the country's demise?

On this basis, I don’t know if it’s because half of Li Xianglan’s life is condensed into this 150-minute movie.

Director Yoshitaro Nomura couldn't help it even if he wanted to drag it out.

Anyway, this time Youtaro Nomura is like a robot cat possessed, and the pace of telling the story is quite ideal.

The war scenes were also shot with majestic proportions, giving it a realistic flavor of "Saving Private Ryan".

The actors are equally impressive, except for the warm and touching performance of Ryoko Ishida, who plays Li Xianglan's Russian best friend.

Yasuko Sawaguchi, whose image is closest to Li Xianglan when she was young, also performed well in the film.

Responsible for playing the role of young Li Xianglan, she is well-behaved, sensible and endearing, becoming a bright spot in the early gray tones of the film.

However, Keiko Matsumoto is able to look exactly like Li Xianglan.

Maybe it's because of her great acting skills, or maybe it's because Keiko Matsumoto's situation is very close to that of Li Xianglan.

Or perhaps Li Xianglan's song is too sensational, which plays a good role in boosting and setting off the atmosphere of the film.

Matsumoto Keiko's performance, even Yamaguchi Shuko herself, and Ning Weimin, who originally only paid attention to the audience's reaction, were forced into this movie-watching atmosphere.

Especially when she was in the labor force, she sang the song "Farewell Blues" that was banned for being "decadent and demoralizing enemy music". Not only did she move the Japanese soldiers and junior Japanese military officers in the movie with her emotions and singing

.

Some die-hards among them, although they pretended to have something to do and left the venue, they also shed tears and hid aside to watch quietly.

The scene successfully gained the audience's empathy, and appropriately demonstrated Li Xianglan's unique charm that was different from modern female stars back then, as if she was Li Xianglan herself in another time and space.

This makes people have to admire, she is indeed one of those talents with real acting talent. She has always been a leader in the Japanese film industry, and she can crush younger backs at will. This may be her destiny in this life.

All in all, the whole film is not too boring, and it doesn't have the awkwardness of a Chinese-Japanese co-production. The theme song performed by Teresa Teng at the end is also a classic and enough to touch people's hearts.

So when the film of more than 150 minutes was screened, the lights in the screening room came on, and the film's creative staff and actors sitting in the first row turned around and bowed to the audience to thank them.

The audience who had watched the whole movie spontaneously gave warm applause, and many people even stood up for a long time.

And at this time, everyone noticed that Yamaguchi Yoshiko's eyes were red. After watching the show of true feelings, she was so moved that she applauded and wiped away tears.

Even many of the leading actors didn't know whether they were happy or excited, wiping tears along with them.

Ning Weimin also applauded gently. He believed that this was undoubtedly an excellent literary film, and the quality far exceeded what he expected.

If before, his expectation was that he would be satisfied if he could score 70 points on the 100-point scale, then now he can score 85 points without any regrets.

He is absolutely certain that as long as the Japanese audience is not blind and has basic appreciation ability.

This movie's box office will be guaranteed, and its reputation will definitely be good.

And his judgment was quickly verified by Shochiku Pictures' President Omoto.

Because he was sitting in the second row and clearly heard President Omoto in the front row whispering to Matsumoto Keiko before he stood up, "You are acting so well. I almost forgot that you were even acting. I thought you were acting."
