? I have been immersed in the plot, the movie's artistic infectious force is very strong. A? drum? , a ? dance? , tells the story with two threads, and the entry point is very good. It is remarkable that such a major topic is expressed through small cuts and through the lives of ethnic minority people. If we want to resist religious extremism, we need to hedge our bets with positive energy and create more excellent works of art. The music in the movie is very moving, both grand and subtle, rough and gentle. The next priority should be to strengthen communication, exchange and arrangement among all parties to publicize, promote and distribute this excellent work.? said Song Dai, president of China Film Press and editor-in-chief of Film Art.

? The movie perfectly combines the main theme with literature and feature films, reflecting high artistry. The movie makes the audience feel the hardworking and simple, kind and passionate of the Uyghur people; ? Visiting Huiju? The dedication and hard work of the village task force; the wanton trampling and destruction of the excellent culture and normal life of ethnic minorities by religious extremist ideology; highlighting the importance of national unity. The whole movie is silent and impressive. Zhang Hong, secretary of the sub-party group of the China Filmmakers Association, said, ?

Through this movie to understand the beautiful Xinjiang, understand the front-line work of comrades hard, dedication and sentiment.

This is a very excellent work, uplifting morale and inspiring. The contribution of this work to ethnic unity and social stability in Xinjiang cannot be overstated. Many people are very concerned about the development of Xinjiang, and the movie truly reflects the ? Visiting Huiju? village-based task force's struggle with religious extremist ideology. The fact that the task force protects the excellent traditional culture of ethnic minorities and responds to public opinion is revealed in a very profound way. The movie captures the key links and shows the important results achieved by the task force in reversing the situation, and shows us the good situation of national unity in Xinjiang.

? My feelings after watching the movie are: ? Drum? and? Dance? is deep and the movie is inspiring. The whole tone and effect of the movie is eye-catching. The movie shows the beauty of Xinjiang, the beauty of the natural scenery of Xinjiang, the beauty of the local customs, can inspire, arouse the love of Xinjiang's good feelings and the desire to go to Xinjiang to see. Secondly, the movie realistically reproduces Xinjiang? Visiting Huiju? The effect of the work in the village, the work style of the village team in the movie, and the true feelings for the people are worth learning from the Party members and cadres.

Zhong Dafeng, a professor at the Department of Literature of Beijing Film Academy, believes that it is very exciting and encouraging to see such a melodramatic film on ethnic minority themes. The film is thought-provoking in the sense that drumming and dancing, which have always been used as cultural symbols, have become a taboo for a people who can sing and dance well. How can we wake them up? This is actually a kind of exploration. Through the movie, we can see that? Visiting Huiju? What the village teams bring to the villagers is a new mindset and a new way of life. The movie is very inspiring, and what I saw was a fine product that was made with seriousness.?

The movie takes place in a village in Xinjiang, which was originally? Drum Township? , where the townspeople are best at drumming and dancing. But because of the erosion of religious extremist ideology, the village no longer has drums, and girls are forbidden to dance by their parents. Cadres stationed in Xinjiang went to the village to support the construction of rural areas, the townspeople slowly have laughter again, since childhood like to dance Aiguli finally realized her dream of dancing, good at playing the Nagra drums of the elderly and children also let the drums sound again.

Zhang Hongsen, Director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), said at the premiere that the movie vividly presents the local customs and lifestyle of Xinjiang, organically integrating ethnic elements such as Nagra drums and folk dances, and is full of rich artistic flavor.

After the Xinjiang-themed film Drums of Taklamakan (3)

On April 17, 2017, the film Drums of Taklamakan, for which I was one of the screenwriters, had its premiere in Beijing. When the shocking sound of Nagra drums stirred in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, my heart could not be calm for a long time, as if there were millions of drumsticks hitting the softest place in my heart.

In October 2015, Mr. Gao Huanggang, the director of Tianshan Film Studio (also one of the screenwriters of this film) and I first talked about ? Visiting Huiju? I was at a loss in my mind when I first talked about the creation of a movie on the topic of ? The volume of the work in the villages is too great. The volume of work in the villages is just too huge? Every year, 70,000 cadres work in more than 10,000 villages and communities in Xinjiang, with tens of millions of people directly benefiting from the work. To put this in Xinjiang in recent years, the most influential, the most extensive, the most involved level of political work, with a movie way to express, I feel that the tiger eats the sky, a chip on the shoulder.

When there's no way out, use the dumbest way first. I began to browse a lot of? The first thing I want to do is to get the best out of the movie. The first thing that I did was to get the chance to see a lot of people who had been working on the project, and I was able to get a lot of people who had been working on the project, and I was able to get a lot of people who had been working on the project. I've been trying to pick up even a single moment that touches my heart. One day, I suddenly found an article in the mass of reports. Where the Drums Beat? I was so excited that I immediately dialed the phone number of the director of the Gao factory. Gao Huanggang, who has been a producer, planner and producer for many years, was excited on the other end of the phone, and his artistic intuition told him that this was a piece of fine ? Seed material?!

In early 2016, under the warm sun of mid-winter in Hotan, director Sirzati? Yahefu (also one of the screenwriters of this movie) embarked on a rewarding walk on the southern borderlands. The whole journey was filled with emotions and touches, too many stories and even more feelings, and some scenes still appear in my mind from time to time and create waves in my heart today. Several times, when I was focusing on the interview, carefully recorded, the interviewed village cadres have long been in tears, unprepared and no precursor at all. My mind was shaken. What makes these usually steady and introverted cadres become so? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

The nearly year-long process of writing the script was a mixture of hardship, pain and joy. The company's website has been updated with the latest information on the company's website. The discussion, argument, and compromise between the creative team of writers, the characters of the script remodeled, the structure changed, pushed back, the characters died and came back to life, life and death, and now all vividly remembered. We fall in love and fall out with the characters of the play, sometimes in separate places, sometimes as one, sometimes simply as their ? real body?

On the National Day before the start of the production, factory director Gao Huanggang and I didn't close our eyes for 36 hours to polish and finalize the script for the last time.

On October 8, 2016, in the beautiful autumn light of Hotan, the film Drums of Taklamakan finally started. As a screenwriter with the crew, I put in nearly two months of filming work. The art workers of Tien Shan Film Studio made the rural houses in Hotan and Yutian counties into a rural Uyghur architectural culture ? Grand View Garden? ; Xinjiang first-line Uyghur actors and famous actors from the mainland sincere cooperation, mingling; the director team and camera team tacit linkage (all film "true love" team), constantly innovative lens language, constantly breakthrough in the past light and shadow narrative techniques, highlights frequently; other clothing and chemical path, logistics and security departments, but also day and night hard work.

The crew overcame the big difference in temperature between day and night in southern Xinjiang, the difficulties of the long way to transfer, to overcome the sand and dust of Hetian for many days, Kashgar sudden snow, in the dawn of the dawn of the late autumn looking at the stars to start, in a dusty and tired body and then look at the stars to return?

Now that the movie has finally met with the audience, the drums in my heart are finally beating. I love this drum, it gives me too many good memories: in an early morning in Hotan, I finally came up with a script that has not been resolved satisfactorily, the film is still bothering us after the start of the climax of the treatment, I immediately communicate with the plant manager, the director, and to reach a **** knowledge? Many days of ideological distress and mental anguish was finally released. At noon, not far from the head of the Krakash River Canal on the shooting site, a sandy hill, I collapsed on the floor of the cabin of the crew's costume vans and fell into a deep sleep?
