1986. Dir: Chen Kaige. Cin: Zhang Yimou. Scr: Gao Lili.
Context:
"Director Chen Kaige, cinematographer Zhang Yimou and designer He Qun started work on The Big Parade almost as soon as they had finished Yellow Earth. The film was shot in the spring and summer of 1985 and it went into post-production the normal way in the autumn. It had reached fine-cut stage by November, when the PLA took strong objection to it. Chen Kaige initially refused to modify the film in any way and so it lay substantially complete but unreleasable for nearly a year. Chen finally agreed to make various changes, purely for the sake of his producers at Guangxi Film Studio, to whom he was of course indebted for his break as a director." [Tony Rayns, Monthly Film Bulletin 1988]
