Chapter 1390 11389 What do the Soviets think about making movies?
"So, is it time for the big star Olga Chekhov to take a photo?" Second Casting Assistant Anna Moffett asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I think so too." Ms. Katie, the assistant casting director, nodded happily: "Ask the sisters for their opinion."
"Okay." Second casting assistant Anna Moffett immediately dialed the internal hotline and invited female star Anneliese Ackerman, female military doctor Carol Baker, female guerrilla Irene and female reporter Li The core members of the "SA3 Sisters" including female director Leni Riefenstahl and female inventor Hedy Lamarr came to discuss the matter.
Olga Chekhov was the most famous Soviet female spy in World War II who had a single line of communication with Stalin. She was also one of the most famous female stars of the Third Reich. With her joining, the most effective right of way of the Trans-Siberian Railway can be provided for the "Illustrious Lady" heading to the Far East.
This is the most beneficial plot spin-off for the sisters' subsequent adventures. As a team performance, each plot character who is merged into the main branch plot line of 0326 carries a personal and exclusive branch plot line, which has its own specific plot derivation. To put it simply, it is like "a key opens a lock." Olga Chekhov is the most important "plot key" that unlocks access to the Trans-Siberian Railway.
So the question arises: How do the Red Soviets treat Italians who are serious about making movies?
Mrs. Katie, the assistant casting director, asked the key: "What do the Soviets think about making a movie?"
“Soviet cinema started very early, almost the same as the history of the development of cinema itself. In 1895, cinema had just been invented. A year later, the films of the French Lumiere brothers were screened in Moscow and Petersburg, attracting many enthusiasts, such as The shooting attempts of Shashen, Federsky and others. In 1908, the Russians shot their first feature film "Free Men of the Lower Volga", and it was out of control. In the ten years to 1918, Russian production As many as 1376 films were produced. Among them were films adapted from classical literary works and films that showed Russian history, but most of them were relatively crude entertainment films. At that time, film production was in the hands of private enterprises, and the technical conditions for film production were also limited. Very poor, these have limited the improvement of the artistic level of film works. Films with a certain level include: Plotazhanov's "The Queen of Spades" (1916, adapted from Pushkin's work), "Andrei Koruho" Husband" (1917), Galkin's "A Noble House" (1915, adapted from Turgenev's works), etc.
Soviet Period I (1917-1941) In 1917, with the sound of a cannon, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, a new social system was born, and a great era began. In 1919, Lenin signed the film nationalization decree, which was the beginning of the Soviet film industry. During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, news documentaries dominated the screen, reflecting the heroic battles of the troops and the achievements of the workers and peasants. After the end of the Civil War, the Soviet film industry developed further and began to shoot new films that reflected the history of the revolution and the reality of the Soviet Union. A large number of outstanding works and directors also emerged during this period, such as "Strike" directed by Eisenstein, "Mother" directed by Pudovkin and "New Babylon" directed by Kozintsev. The director who attracted the most attention to the world is undoubtedly Sergei Eisenstein. His work "Battleship Potemkin" was called a landmark work and won the Paris International Film Festival in 1927. won the grand prize. To this day, "Battleship Potemkin" is a must-see educational film in the film field, which is enough to illustrate its influence. So why is this movie considered a classic? Because the film uses montage editing for the first time in the history of world cinema. After the end of the Soviet Civil War, a series of film policies were formulated, and a large number of outstanding talents and works emerged at the same time. In just one year from 1924 to 1925, the Soviet Union produced 1 films, including 142 feature films. These films basically showed the theme of the October Revolution from different angles, which also marked the beginning of film art becoming a powerful weapon to promote revolutionary ideas. With the emergence of sound films, the expression techniques of film art have become more abundant, and Soviet films have entered a new stage of development. The creative methods of Soviet literature and art during this period determined the principles of socialist realism. And another landmark work was born during this period. In 70, the film "Cha Boyang" directed by the Vasilyev brothers and produced by the Leningrad Film Studio was released. The film was adapted from Furmanov's novel of the same name and told the story of the legendary hero Cha Boyang in the Soviet Civil War. This film is a masterpiece in the history of Soviet film, with vivid characters and personalized language. The version translated by our country in 1934 is also quite a classic. This film won the Stalin Award in 1951 and was rated as one of the top 1941 international films since its birth in 1978. One of the best films.
Soviet Period II (Patriotic War Period) On September 1939, 9, Germany launched a surprise attack on Poland. Under the famous tactical "Blitzkrieg" offensive, the Polish army retreated steadily, and soon large areas of territory fell. At the same time, the British and France declared war on Germany, and the largest world war in human history officially began. During this period of Soviet cinema, most of the films shot were anti-fascist films. From 1 to 1941, a total of 1945 news magazine issues, 489 short films, and 67 large-scale documentaries were shot. Among the representative works are: "She Defends the Motherland" directed by Elmlier, "The Great Turn" directed by Frederic Urmler and Eisenstein's patriotic historical film "Ivan the Great". Among them, "The Great Turning" was produced in 347. The film is a feature film based on the Battle of Stalingrad. It is worth mentioning that Stalin personally participated in the post-editing of this film, which is extremely precious. The film is different from other war-themed movies in that it has very few battle scenes and focuses more on battlefield decision-making and the commander's psychological activities. So the film also creates a "new psychological film" genre. Of course, this movie has certain historical limitations, so the plot arrangement is inconsistent with historical facts. The film won the Special Prize at the 1945 Cannes International Film Festival and the Soviet State Gold Medal in the same year.
Soviet Period III (1945-1969) After the end of the Patriotic War, Soviet movies continued to revolve around the anti-fascist struggle for a long time, but there are two movies here that are worth mentioning. The first one is the movie "The 1956st" released in . This is a war-themed film adapted from the novel of the same name by Soviet writer Lavreniev.

It enriches the inner world of the characters and depicts human nature and class in a delicate and moving way. . It can be said that this movie was the first shot of the new wave of Soviet films.
The other one is the movie "War and Peace" released in 1966. The movie is adapted from Leo Tolstoy's novel of the same name. It takes the Russo-French War of 1812 as the main axis. The aristocratic lady Natasha, the aristocratic young man The emotional story of Pierre and Prince Andrei is used as a clue to tell the story of the major events that occurred in Tsarist Russia from 1805 to 1820. The director is Sergei Bondarchuk, who also plays the role of the aristocratic young man Pierre. It is particularly worth mentioning that the contrast between the war scenes in the film is particularly striking, whether it is the bloody and brutal fighting between the two armies, the scorching Moscow fire, or the large-scale burning, killing and looting by the French army, as well as the cruel abuse of prisoners, especially It is a long shot shot from the air of the French army fleeing in panic across dozens of miles of ice and snow. The shots are all thrilling, tragic and shocking.
