Are there character prototypes in that distant place?

Yes

"Faraway" moved Kunlun veteran Yuan Ying and the character prototype appeared in Beijing

Sina Entertainment News Military drama "In That Faraway Place" starring Li Youbin "After being aired on CCTV during prime time, it has been recognized by all aspects of society. On August 1, Army Day, four "Old Kunlun" people who were deeply moved by "Far Away" came to Beijing from Henan to meet with the creators of the show and talk about every detail of the year.

Among the four "Old Kunlun" soldiers, there is a woman named Yao Chuang. Her story of pulling a coal truck to serve as a soldier in Xinjiang in 1968 is strikingly similar to Yuan Ying in the play. She is said to have It is no exaggeration to say that he is the prototype of Yuan Ying. Yao Chuang: "After I saw this movie, I was particularly touched. There are four comrades in our group, just like Yuan Ying, Ding Haotian, Lu Qiang and Fang Yang in the movie, they are classmates. There were also three men and one woman. When the troops from the Kunlun Mountains came here to recruit soldiers in 1968, we all signed up. As a result, three men were recruited. Only I was not recruited because there was no quota for female soldiers. As a result, I really Just like Yuan Ying, he picked up trains and coal trucks, chasing the troops all the way from Henan to Xinjiang..."

The reason why these old Kunluns came to Beijing is actually all because of "Far Away" A netizen’s message on Sina’s official website. This message is particularly eye-catching - on the occasion of the launch of "Faraway", the new book "In That Faraway Place" will also be released to readers in the near future. Among them, the preface of this new book was written by the editor-in-charge of the show and the CCTV Film and Television Department. Written by Wang Hao, this preface was also published on the official website of "Far Away". Not long after this article was published, a netizen left a message under the article, saying: "I am Lao Kunlun. I want to get this book. My phone number is 136..." This message was quickly discovered by the crew, and then they were contacted. After getting in touch with an old Kunlun, we learned that this old Kunlun’s name was Wu Dongfang, and he went to Kunlun Mountain to serve as a soldier in 1968. The place where he served as a soldier happened to be the place described in "Far Away". One of the scenes in "Far Away" One-Thirty Mile Barracks is where he once was stationed.

Subsequently, the crew decided to take them to Beijing on August 1st Army Day. Director Yu Zhong, screenwriters Lei Xianhe, Zhong Jimin and several main actors in the play Ji Ta, Wang Yisheng, Baht The emperor soon came to visit some old Kunluns. At the symposium, the four veterans excitedly recalled their past experiences in Kunlun Mountain. Shen Xiaohai, the actor who plays Ding Haotian, who was filming at the Fujian studio, made a special call to express his respect to the four old Kunluns.

Now these four comrades live in Zhengzhou and Anyang, Henan respectively. After "Far Away" was launched on CCTV, these four comrades were talking on the phone while watching "Far Away". They were all excited to see scenes and stories they were most familiar with shown on the plateau checkpoints in the play. It is difficult for them to calm down after seeing such a work that reflects the old Kunlun warriors who have silently dedicated themselves to the plateau border defense line. What excites them the most is that the experiences of the four young people in the play, Yuan Ying, Ding Haotian, Lu Qiang and Fang Yang, are surprisingly similar to the four of them. Among them, the female classmates went to work on the coal truck, and several classmates were quite He has a high school education, so he is the most educated in the army. Just like in "Far Away", Wu Dongfang, because of his good calligraphy, often writes slogans and big characters in the army like Ding Haotian. They also often help their illiterate comrades read and write letters home. The most coincidental thing is that the real-life prototype of the Shenxian Bay checkpoint in "Far Away" is the Shenxian Bay checkpoint at an altitude of 5,380 meters. One of the four old Kunlun men once stood guard at the Shenxian Bay checkpoint and let the sentry pass. .
