Since the release of Song for the Country, it has received rave reviews! Based on the historical process of Nie Er’s patriotic youth’s creation of March of the Volunteers, the film tells the story of a group of young people who are concerned about the fate of the motherland, inspiring the world to awaken with blood and notes, and inspiring the soldiers in front to fight bloody battles. Compared with the "chronicle" and "political style" features of some previous main melody films, Song for the Country is cut in from the perspective of "revolutionary musicians", which not only has a novel story idea, but also creatively adds many musical elements to capture the souls of the characters from the perspective of group images, such as the first love relationship between Nie Er and Yuan Chunhui, the relationship between Nie Er and Zhang Runwu, the relationship between Nie Er and the newsboy Xiaomao and his father and son, etc.
After the movie, Haibin Bai, the director, took the stage to have a cordial interaction with the movie guests, recalling the past eventful years, which was called "the most sentimental" movie-watching party, with constant laughter and fun! Haibin Bai, the director, said emotionally: "Tears almost came down when I just hugged my classmates. Although I made a movie with the main theme, every character in it was flesh and blood, and their revolutionary friendship resembled our sincere friendship today."

As a director from Handan, Song for the Country is Haibin Bai’s return to the big screen after a lapse of three years, and it is also the first time that he has created a cinema theme film combining literature, art and commerce with a volume of 100 million. The story pattern of Song for the Country is large, and the behind-the-scenes creations are almost all big coffee teams in the industry. In addition to more than 40 old, middle-aged and powerful actors, the battlefield drama shooting team of Babe and the first-line costume and makeup team in Gao Qunshu are also invited to control such a luxurious team, which poses a big challenge to the director’s comprehensive scheduling ability.
It is the initial intention of literature and art with a strong mission and sense of responsibility that makes Song for the Country look different! Interestingly, the fans in Handan also asked why Gulnazar was chosen to play the first female because of the strong starring lineup of Song for the Country. Director Haibin Bai revealed: "The first criterion for us to choose an actor is whether he/she has feelings for March of the Volunteers? Otherwise, no matter how famous or how good the performance is, it is pale. After communicating with Naza, I found that her personal qualities and acting skills are very in line with Yuan Chunhui’s temperament. She also sang the theme song "You" with a very high degree of completion. "
At the end of the movie-watching activity, director Haibin Bai revealed that he wanted to make a movie based on his hometown in gratitude. "I’m from Handan, and there are many excellent historical and humanistic stories in Handan, such as a dream with an evil dream and a humble apology, which can be reinterpreted by modern means and put on the big screen. I hope that one day I can show my hometown to more audiences through my own efforts."

Let’s walk into the cinema together, feel the power of the national anthem and look forward to a big box office sale!
