There are actually not many movies about the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea in China, and most of them are films from a long time ago, and even movies from the fifties and sixties, many people have not seen them now.

However, this did not in any way hinder the public's perception of the war.

The icy and bitter cold is undoubtedly one of the distinctive characteristics.

As we all know, the temperature is related to latitude, and the climate is similar at the same latitude in the north and northeast.

The Volunteer Army participated in the war at the end of October and the beginning of November, and for a climate like the Northeast, it was winter.

The crew of "Rejuvenation" filmed the scene of resisting rice and aiding Korea in the Northeast in winter, which is especially in line with the times and the public's perception in terms of climate.

As a native of the south, although he has been in the capital for a few years, Li Qian still feels that the northeast is really cold.

Especially filming in the field, it is not so easy to adapt.

The first scene is that the troops are repairing at the station, and before entering the battlefield, they have engaged in target shooting training, which can be regarded as training new recruits to liven up the atmosphere.

The male protagonist, who stayed smoothly and became a hygienist in the health team, also stood in the queue, watching the recruits shoot with curiosity on his face.

Duan Yihong, who played the role of company commander Dai Ruyi, stared at the recruits shooting targets one by one, and caught a glimpse of Chen Kun in the team, this white-haired old man, with only curiosity in his eyes, not a trace of fear.

He picked up a Moxin-Nag rifle and walked up to Chen Kun with an old face, "Go and shoot three shots!"

"Me?" Chen Kun pointed to himself in some consternation, a little puzzled, "Am I not a hygienist?"

Duan Yihong snorted, "The hygienist is also a soldier, and there is no soldier in the third company who can't shoot!"

“... Oh" Chen Kun took the rifle and slowly walked to the target position.

The instructor patiently taught him how to shoot, while the other soldiers in the company stared curiously at Chen Kun, the old man.

But none of them were watching the joke, because Chen Kun was a hygienist, a person who could save their lives on the battlefield at a critical moment, even if Chen Kun was so old.

Chen Kun clumsily followed the steps, pressed his shoulders against his cheeks, aimed, stared at the target tightly, couldn't help but close his eyes, and fired three shots one after another.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The huge recoil made Chen Kun almost choke, and he looked at the target in front of him with a hopeful face.

"One shot grazed the edge of the target, and two missed. The instructor was helpless to report the target.

To everyone's surprise, no one laughed, at least one bullet hit the target.

"Next, Zhang Xiaofang. ”

Chen Kun retreated a little embarrassed and handed the rifle back to Duan Yihong, but he didn't take it.

"A soldier can't live without a gun. Duan Yihong motioned for Chen Kun to keep it.

Chen Kun clenched his cold rifle tightly, stood back in place, and saw another young soldier, Zhang Yi walked to the place where he was standing with his head held high, his hand movements were extremely skillful, and he was full of confidence and fired three shots in a row.

This confidence emanating from the inside out made Chen Kun's eyes widen, trying to find the bullet hole in the target with his cloudy eyes.

Duan Yihong also looked bright and walked forward.

But.

"All three shots missed. ”

The instructor's voice full of surprise made Duan Yihong stop abruptly, and Chen Kun and everyone were stunned.

Zhang Yi's every movement was so skillful, but they all missed the target.

It's like in the ring, a fierce looking bully with big muscles, like a gorilla, hammered himself twice in the chest, roared and went on stage, only to be knocked to the ground by the opponent's punch and never get up again.

"Poof..."

No one laughed at Chen Kun's old man when he shot before, but this time someone couldn't help laughing.

Duan Yihong's face also darkened a little, and when he walked in front of Zhang Yi, who was still staring blankly at the rifle in his hand, he didn't understand what was going on.

"As soon as I came, I ate three big baked cakes, you go to the cooking class to report!" Duan Yihong didn't have a good breath.

"Company commander, we don't have so many baked cakes for him to eat in our cooking class, and Lao Li Tou has a shot that has hit the target, I think let him follow Lao Li Tou." "The head of the cooking squad is not happy on the side, Lao Li Tou is the male protagonist, surnamed Li, he is an old man, everyone calls him Lao Li Tou.

The hygienist sent by the superior has not yet arrived, and there is only Lao Li Tou in the health team in the company, Duan Yihong also nodded, "Then you go to the health team." ”

Zhang Yi, who had been in a daze, also reacted at this time, the company commander was scolding, and he was sent down from the combat unit.

Moreover, even the cooking class can't look down on himself.

Turning his head to look at Chen Kun in the distance, even an old man of him had a shot on the target, and he was not as good as an old man.

Zhang Yi's stubborn face was anxious and angry, and the weather was cold, and his face became more and more red.

"And my gun..."

Duan Yihong's face darkened again, "Take it!"

"Okay, click!"

After filming it completely, Li Qian immediately shouted to stop, and also called the three of them over, and played the first paragraph again on the monitor, talking while playing.

"It's basically the same question, and it doesn't get into the characters. ”

Li Qian looked at them and shook his head, "Acting is not limited to a certain scene, you are playing a person, not just a person doing something, when there is any action, what changes."

Let's talk about Zhang Yi first, what you are playing in this section is to shoot with confidence, but you didn't notice a prerequisite, Zhang Xiaofang's character prototype is Zhang Taofang, this premise is that Zhang Xiaofang is full of confidence to shoot targets, but all three shots are empty, and you don't pay attention to the characteristics of the characters.

Lao Duan is a little better, the company commander's setting is a cold-faced tiger, but when facing Chen Kun and Zhang Yi, two special soldiers, his expression becomes too obvious, such a character is usually not good at expression management, and he is about to face a big battle, at this time, there should not be a big change in expression in a short period of time. ”

Duan Yihong hesitated for a while, but still explained, "Director Li, I don't have many roles in this role, but I am also one of the core characters in this plot, I am afraid that the characters will be too flat." ”

Li Qian said to Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi, "You two are the two most important supporting roles in the plot of resisting rice and aiding Korea, but there are not many scenes in this section, so it is impossible to give too many scenes to the two supporting roles."

Zhang Yi's role is a superhero, a sniper god who kills more than 200 meters of devils in a month, which is a special category, and the commander of the third company will not have too much emphasis on performance, because this is the epitome of all grassroots commanders and fighters of the Volunteer Army, and it is a common type. ”

"Then should I be more "ordinary"?" Duan Yihong said, the character is not brilliant, he has no objection, he just wants to play this role well.

"Not really. ”

Li Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "Although you are just a microcosm of the grassroots commanders and fighters of the Volunteer Army, there are thousands of such people, but you and the people you represent are also a hero, and all of them are heroes, just grasp one degree." ”

The fewer the roles, the more difficult it is to act, and not enough scenes means that there is no room to play, and there is not even time for a complete character transformation process.

Of course, this is to get rid of some special professions.

In the scene of resisting rice and aiding Korea, the protagonist is still the protagonist, and these two important supporting roles can only be performed from the scenes that appear with the protagonist, or from the details.

For example, in Li Qian's script, Duan Yihong did not give up any wounded on the battlefield, even if his intestines were blown out, he also ordered Chen Kun to explode the seriously wounded who were dying.

In the tragic Battle of Songgu Peak, before Duan Yihong died, he did not let Chen Kun waste precious time and medicine on a dying man, and ordered him to rescue other wounded with his last breath.

The two very simple shots, one contrast, will not take up any additional space, and the plot of the protagonist is perfectly integrated.

After talking about the play, continue filming.

In fact, half of this scene is a real historical event.

Zhang Taofang has a bird gun handed down by his grandfather at home, he had shot before joining the army, and when he was training recruits, he also used 38 big covers, and he was born with farsightedness and was very accurate in shooting.

Therefore, when he appeared on the stage, he was full of confidence in the script, after all, he was a young man in his early twenties, and his marksmanship was very good.

At that time, Zhang Taofang's regiment, in order to strengthen the training of recruits and enliven the atmosphere, specially organized a regiment-wide target shooting competition, Zhang Taofang confidently picked up the gun and fired three shots in a row, but all of them missed the target and was punished by the company commander to go to the cooking class.

Here Li Qian changed to go to the health team, which is quite reasonable, the health team is now an old man with the male protagonist, and he must ask someone to help.

This scene where Zhang Yi appeared was also filmed for a long time, from 9 o'clock in the morning to nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The fragmented plot, in addition to relying on the connection between the plots and editing skills, also has higher requirements for the quality of each plot.

is even so high that every small plot can be taken out separately for the audience to see, and the cause and effect can be almost understood.

For example, just a scene where a husband and wife quarrel has no cause and effect, but it is necessary for the audience to understand from the quarrel whether it is the first time or a frequent quarrel, or a common occurrence.

What is the relationship between husband and wife, what is the relationship between each other, is it because of a major event and a conflict, or whether the two parties have long been disagreeable to each other, and a small matter quarrels.

It was he who loved her, and she loved him.

Or does he love her, she doesn't love her.

Or maybe he doesn't love her, she still loves him.

Or they don't love each other.

And love and non-love, there is also a degree, how much love there is, how much love is not loved, and even disgust and disgust.

In fact, many film and television dramas, take a plot alone, and the audience who has not watched the original drama probably doesn't know what it is, nor does it know the state and relationship of the characters.

"Rejuvenation" must be able to take out any individual plot, and you can understand the background, character state relationships, events, causes and consequences.

Because, without context, it not only tests the audience's thinking, but also tests the content of each plot.

For example, in the paragraph just now, after saving the male protagonist, I found that he would bandage him a little and give first aid, and the company commander left him behind, and then the picture turned to their training at the station.

only said that the male protagonist was left behind, and did not mention how to place it, and in the latter scene, Zhang Yi was asked to go to the health team to follow the male protagonist.

There is a little bit of jumping, but I hope the audience can see it clearly at a glance when they watch it, and it will not be strange.

......

After filming this scene at four o'clock, it was dark late in winter, and the station was just such a daytime scene, and then came the night scene.

"Scene 36, one shot, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

This is the rivalry between Chen Kun and Zhang Yi at night, when he is older, Chen Kun goes to the kang early, and Zhang Yi is still sitting on the kang, holding a gun and distressed.

Obviously, his marksmanship is outstanding, but he hits an empty target, and he can't figure it out.

Chen Kun, who was in the bed, poked out his head and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Humph!"

The stubborn Zhang Yi ignored him, he missed the target with three shots today, which was embarrassing enough, the key thing is that even this old man had a bullet hit the target, and he was thrown to his grandmother's house in shame.

Chen Kun, who was only five years old, didn't dare to say anything, retracted into the quilt again, and sighed heavily.

It's too cold.

The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly Zhang Yi screamed excitedly.

"I see!"

Scare!

Chen Kun was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I see!"

Zhang Yi jumped off the first one violently, and muttered excitedly and with a face full of chagrin, "I used to use a 38 big cover, the bullet caliber is small, and the recoil is small, but this gun bullet has a larger caliber, more power, and greater recoil, so I missed the target!"

"The recoil is so strong that I can't hold it steadily. Chen Kun said approvingly.

"Cut!"

Zhang Yi smiled with contempt, and then said excitedly, "I'll go to the company commander tomorrow and fight again!"

Chen Kun thought for a while and asked, "Since the recoil is very strong, you are guaranteed to be able to hit accurately tomorrow?"

"Why can't you hit it accurately!"

Zhang Yi retorted with a stiff neck, his face was young, and he even had a sense of youth, it was indeed very suitable to play a stubborn young man.

However, thinking of the target shooting during the day, Zhang Yi was a little discouraged again, "Then I'll stay here for a few more days, and when I get familiar with this gun, I must ask the company commander to transfer me back!"

"I've read a book before that should help you. Chen Kun suddenly spoke.

"Can you help me? Zhang Yi pursed his lips, lifted the quilt and was about to sleep.

Chen Kun was not angry, and explained to himself, "The recoil is strong because your arm strength is not enough, if the strength is strong enough, the recoil will be able to adapt, and the gun will be more stable."

I've read in books that tying sandbags on your hands and feet can exercise your running speed and arm strength, and if you can adapt to a dozen pounds of sandbags on your hands, you can also adapt to the recoil of shooting. ”

Zhang Yi had already sat up at this time, looked at his arm, and said suspiciously, "Really?"

"I read it in books, too. Chen Kun replied honestly.

"Since it's in a book, it shouldn't be a lie, what else is written in the book?"

"There is a book of martial arts, when others practice darts, they practice aiming at candles. ”

"Why the candle?"

"Because the flame of the candle moves as soon as there is a little wind, I guess I want to practice my eyesight. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhang Yi immediately got up from the quilt and fumbled to light the only oil lamp in the room.

Chen Kun was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"Practice!" Zhang Yixing took the gun in a hurry, and raised the gun half-crouching to aim at the constantly shaking flames of the oil lamp, motionless.

Seeing his actions, Chen Kun was a little stunned, but he didn't bother him silently, just stared at him.

In the cold room, the cold wind blowing in through the cracks in the windows blew the flames of the oil lamps in the wind.

In front of him was a thin young man with a gun, motionless in the night, like a statue, and another old man on the bed was also motionless looking at him.

......

Shooting in winter is always boring, and the environment is like this, which can also affect people's mentality.

Therefore, Li Qian plans to shoot a major scene with not many scenes first.

Ice and snow Changjin Lake.

The reason why it is the highlight and there are not many scenes is because I will not shoot this battle, there is not enough time, shoot a large panorama of the ambush battle against 100,000 enemy troops, and then add a ten-second shot of the protagonist's three companies participating in the battle.

The main war scene is still the Songgu Peak Resistance Battle in the back.

However, even if you don't shoot the battle scene of the Battle of Changjin Lake, the shock is no better than the tragic Songgu Peak.

The protagonist of this scene is not Chen Kun, not Zhang Yi, nor Duan Yihong, but more than 120 soldiers of the Northeast Military Region who made cameo appearances.

The 120 soldiers, who arrived at 8 a.m., wore thin old-fashioned military uniforms and white sheets, maintained an ambush posture, clutched the guns in their hands, and lay motionless in the vast white snow, allowing the make-up artists to hammer them on their heads, faces, and bodies.

More than 200 makeup artists, stylists, prop artists, and special effects artists spent three hours dressing up the 120 soldiers as dead people who had been frozen into ice sculptures.

Looking at these soldiers who didn't move for three hours, wearing little clothes, and dressed up like this, Su Lun, as a woman, couldn't help but say to Li Qian, "Boss, okay, let's start shooting." ”

"Ice and snow Changjin Lake... No, it should be Ice-blooded Changjin Lake. ”

Even though he knew that it was fake, looking at the tragic situation of these soldiers, Li Qian seemed to have returned to that era of artillery fire, and saw more than 4,000 compatriots who were frozen to death in the Battle of Changjin Lake.

Li Qian raised the bullhorn and shouted.

"All departments ready!"
