Hu Jian Province, Longxi City, at the gate of the second cadre rest house, early in the morning, several middle-aged people who looked like leaders seemed to be waiting for someone.

He was followed by seven or eight young men, including a reporter with a microphone and a photographer with a camera.

At the door of the retreat center, there was such a big battle, and those who didn't know thought it was a leader.

More than ten minutes later, an ordinary Toyota Coaster minibus stopped at the door steadily.

Seeing that the people who were waiting came, the people waiting at the door also greeted them, and the photographer turned on the camera.

The car door opened, and Li Qian got out of the car but was taken aback by this battle.

Before Li Qian had time to react, one of the leaders in the lead shook his hand with a friendly face and shook it gently and regularly.

"Hello Director Li, welcome to Longxi. ”

"You're Minister Zhang, I'm really bothering you. Li Qian was still a little unsure, this trip to Longxi to find a hygienist on the Beibang battlefield back then, because he was in a cadre rest house, so he sent someone to contact the local propaganda department.

However, in this battle, more than a dozen people, and reporters, Li Qian almost thought that he was colliding with a certain big leader.

But if you think about it, a director like Li Qian can be said to be an art worker who has reached this height in a certain artistic achievement, and his social status is not low.

Just look at Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige, when you go to the local filming, the local government has to cooperate.

Moreover, as soon as the film industry is financed in the future, the net worth will be tens of billions in an instant, and if an entrepreneur with a net worth of tens of billions comes to invest, the mayor will have to come forward.

This is still this era, and there was Li Qian's achievement 20 years earlier, which was able to enter Zhongnanhai to meet Chairman Guo Jia.

Film is the only art that can enter Zhongnanhai, it was not a joke back then, that is, now the market is commercialized, the economic income of directors and actors has increased, but the social status has been decreasing, and there are gains and losses.

The deputy director of the Municipal Propaganda Department, the District Propaganda Department, and the director of the Municipal Television Station shook hands one by one, politely refusing the arrangement of rest and dinner, and the Minister Zhang led Li Qian into the second cadre rest house with a smile.

"A great director like Director Li can shoot a film about resisting rice and aiding Korea, let us remember history, it's really exciting, and we will definitely call on all departments to organize movie-watching at that time. ”

Li Qian hurriedly corrected his words, "Minister Zhang, in fact, this is a romance movie. ”

Minister Zhang nodded, "The love between life and death during the war is even more moving." ”

“......”

Forget it, Li Qian won't talk about it, anyway, this time I'm here to listen to the old man talk about his experience as a hygienist on the Beibang battlefield.

However, looking at the photographer who had been following him to shoot, Li Qian frowned, "Minister Zhang, the camera doesn't need to follow, don't make such a big battle and surprise the old man." ”

Minister Zhang and the director of the city TV station glanced at each other, and they didn't care, but still smiled, "Hehe, Director Li is very thoughtful, then let's take a few photos." ”

Li Qian nodded, also a little helpless.

I knew that I wouldn't say hello to the local government, so I went straight to the dry rest house.

When I came to a courtyard, two young people at the door accompanied an old woman, which should be the purpose of this trip, Grandma Sun Jixiang, who participated in the Northern Stick War as a hygienist.

"Hello Grandma Sun. Li Qian walked over quickly.

Grandma Sun, who was already eighty years old, looked very energetic, and when she saw so many people, she didn't mean to be disturbed at all, but seemed even more happy, and while greeting Li Qian and them, she didn't need to be helped, and slowly walked into the house, "Hello, hello, come in and sit in the house." ”

Li Qian followed Grandma Sun into this small house with a single courtyard, and when she entered the living room, the old woman took out a few large photo albums and a box of medals from the table, handed them to Li Qian tremblingly, and turned around to pour water.

The two young men who followed Grandma Sun at the beginning hurriedly went to pour water.

Sitting down on the sofa, Grandma Sun asked Li Qian, "Young man, they said you made a movie?"

"Grandma Sun, I'm making a love movie, because there will be some episodes of hygienists on the North Stick battlefield, so I'll tell you about that time. Li Qian looked at Grandma Sun and said truthfully, while flipping through the thick photo album and occasionally looking down.

"Click!"

The photographer of the TV station next to him took a photo of Li Qian's head in front of the album, and with another "click", he took a picture on the side.

Li Qian frowned, listened to Grandma Sun's words, took a sip of the water cup, gently put it down on the table, and made a sound that everyone could hear.

The photographer glanced at the director and stopped what he was doing.

And when Grandma Sun heard Li Qian talk about the events of the year, the smile in her eyebrows and eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a deep sadness.

"I remember in May '49, when I was 16 years old, I signed up for the army with my sister, and I was asked if we were going to join the art troupe or be a nurse, and my sister and I both said to be nurses. ”

Qi Yukun, who came with Li Qian, took notes in his notebook, and the reporter from the TV station was also recording something, and everyone quietly listened to Grandma Sun talk about the past in a soft and slow voice.

"Later, my sister and I were assigned to the XX Army XX Division Medical Team, participated in the study, training, in October 50, suddenly received an order, set off with the troops, took the train to the northeast, one person gave a cotton coat, let us train the wounded on our backs, tie bandages, and then one day before dawn, and then take a train across the Yalu River, into the North Stick.

When we first arrived, we were bombed indiscriminately by enemy planes, and we hid under an apple tree on the hill for five days, and at that time the younger comrades in the army returned to China, and my sister and I were also persuaded to return, but we still stayed.

After arriving at the North Stick, the weather began to get colder, and there was no way to spend the night on the mountain, and it was too cold at that time. ”

Grandma Sun sighed, her eyebrows lowered, "But it's still very cold, cold and hungry, sometimes I haven't eaten all day, and I can't eat the dry food on my back, it's for the wounded." ”

As she spoke, Grandma Sun opened the photo album in Li Qian's hand and found a yellowed piece of paper.

It was a Xinhua News Agency report on the front line, although it was very old, but Li Qian still saw it clearly, which wrote: "The two sisters Sun Jixiang, the female caretaker of a certain unit, carried more than 30 pounds of equipment on their backs, and marched with the soldiers in the cold night of more than minus 30 degrees. The troops climbed over a high mountain more than 50 miles, the snow was knee-high, and their shoes and feet were frozen together, but they always followed the troops, reached their destination, and immediately began to work. ”

"Everybody doesn't take a bath, they're full of lice, and they can grab a handful of them in their armpits. Grandma Sun continued, "The female soldiers are even more unhappy, every time they come to menstruation, they can only take a little cotton from the cotton coat and wrap it in leaves and use it. ”

Li Qian was stunned, he had imagined the hardships of the war, carrying heavy loads, marching in the snow, and not eating, he had thought about all of them, but he had never thought about the problems faced by female soldiers in that environment.

Generally in factories, people will say that women are men and men are animals.

But on the battlefield, women are not much better than men.

Qi Yukun, who was struggling to write, also stopped suddenly, and after two seconds, his right hand clenched the pen, and continued to write, that past history.

It's just that his hands are getting harder and harder, and the writing rustles on the paper.

The female reporter of the TV station stopped, and she couldn't write anymore.

Grandma Sun didn't pay attention to their state, and recalled to herself, "In November 50, in Xinxingli, the XX Army participated in the second battle, and after the battle, the wounded came down, and our hands and feet were blown up, and we were all scared to death. ”

Recalling this, Grandma Sun said with tears in her eyes, "There was a soldier who died, but his eyes were still open, and the squad leader told me to drag him out, but I always felt that he was not dead, he was not dead......

When I pulled out the corpses of the soldiers, I found that there were several corpses under a pile of straw next to me, so I and other comrades-in-arms dug a pit together to bury the sacrificed soldiers, and everyone cried. ”

Li Qian's eyes closed quickly and continuously, suppressing the tears that had just come out.

Grandma Sun wiped her eyes, and then said with some emotion, "Once I got an oil cake and was going to give it to the wounded, but the wounded refused to eat it, and said, "You should eat it, if you eat it, you will have the strength to help other wounded."

......

The old man talked a lot about it intermittently, in addition to suffering and sorrow, there were also things such as eating captured sausages during the fifth battle in the summer, eating captured sausages in the case of a rapid march, and having diarrhea while marching in a hurry.

The bridge was blocked by the enemy, and she sneaked under the bridge at night, and as a result, she almost died, but it was the soldiers who saved her.

In addition to the hard work, there are also some happy times.

In that Northern Stick War, the old man won 1 second-class merit, 5 third-class merits, and the title of "model nurse" of the divisional medical team.

After talking for more than an hour, the old man's spirit was also a little weak, and he was almost done, and Li Qian took his leave.

Refusing the invitation of the local government, Li Qian took Qi Yukun and Su Lun and got in the car and left.

On the modified business car, the two of them were still in a heavy mood.

Li Qian smiled, "Okay, the past hardships have been experienced for us, and the world created by our ancestors, let's cherish it and let future generations remember it." ”

Qi Yukun and Su Lun, as directors, have seen and heard countless stories of all kinds, but this time the old man opposite told a story of personal experience, which touched him a lot.

However, I quickly took this touch to heart and adjusted it.

Su Lun said, "Boss, what Grandma Sun said about using cotton in cotton clothes and wrapping leaves to make sanitary catties, it is necessary to shoot it in, not only men but also female soldiers suffer all kinds of pain in the war, and they are physiologically inferior to men." ”

"It's so weird to insert this plot. Qi Yukun shook his head, "There is not much useful information on this trip, Grandma Sun is working in the division-level health team, to put it mildly, it is in the field hospital, and the male protagonist in the movie is in the company below, the most basic health worker, the environment is completely different, and it is more to be shown on the battlefield." ”

Su Lun glared at Qi Yukun, "What's strange, the wounded must be transported to the hospital in the rear, the hygienist followed during the transport, and the hero escorted the wounded to the field hospital, didn't he meet the nurse of the field hospital?"

"But in our movies, the main thing is to show the cruelty on the battlefield and the spirit and will of the volunteer soldiers, and the identity of the male protagonist, a hygienist, is just an excuse to enter the army. ”

"On the battlefield, hospitals are also part of the war, and doctors and nurses are also part of the soldiers, so they should show themselves in all aspects. ”

"But ......"

The two of them actually fought over this.

Li Qian shook his head and hurriedly stopped, "Okay, okay, remember first, and then it depends on the situation when we summarize later, let's go to the next place." ”

Li Qian has a lot of places to visit, mainly related to the two battles of Changjin Lake Ice Sculpture Company and Songgufeng Bloody Battle, veterans who survived the war, and a trip to the military region.

After all, to restore these two battles in the movie, even if the time is short, it must be done in place, and the support of the military is definitely indispensable.

Of course, it's not just these, and the events that are currently determined to appear in the movie are interviewed as much as possible.

Even Teacher Liu, director Yang Jie, and Li Qian have to meet each other, after all, "Journey to the West" is indispensable in the history of the eighties, a classic TV series of two generations, maybe the actor will be arranged to play a trick in it.

Follow the republic, go back to history, I don't know if I can shoot it in politics, the war has the Northern Stick War, and the rest is left in the aspects of literature, sports, entertainment, science and technology, and commerce.

Four famous novels, one "Journey to the West" is enough to represent.

Li Qian's exploration of history continued, but the next day, Longxi TV and Longxi Daily reported that Li Qian came to the cadre retreat to interview veterans of the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea, and Hu Jianwei and local media also followed up with reports.

"The famous director Li Qian visited the Longxi Dry Rest House and listened to the veterans of the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea tell the story of the Beibang Battlefield, and will shoot a war movie!"

When the news came out, it became like this, obviously Li Qian told the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department and the director of the station at that time that this was a romance movie.

Now there are no good films in the movie and TV drama market, and there is no explosion in entertainment news, and the news of Li Qian's new film was widely reported by the media and immediately spread on the Internet.

"I'll go, it's not a romance movie, why did Li Qian go to make a war movie again?"

"It's really fake? If it's a war movie, it's going to be interesting!"

"It's still the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea, although "Assembly" has been filmed, but there are too few war scenes, mainly not on the war, if Li Qian shoots, he will definitely be able to shoot a particularly shocking shot!"

"Ahhh!!h ”

"Indeed, the anti-rice and aid to Korea completely relied on the tactics of the sea of people, and it was piled up with human lives!"

"The stupid lack upstairs, you know the pile of human lives, watch less mentally retarded news, no matter how many people in modern warfare have a numerical advantage, you let Asan pull 10 million people to go to the North Stick Battlefield to try, not to mention 10 million, even 100 million Asan soldiers, it is not enough rice grains to eat. ”

"There's no way, people now believe it when they see something on the Internet, and they don't even know what the Volunteer Army relied on to defeat the coalition forces of more than ten countries, which has made the Western world extremely insecure about our army, so let's learn more about history. ”

"Even with backward equipment, the Volunteer Army was the most powerful army on the planet at that time, and in many ways, it was ahead of the entire era at that time. ”

"Let's talk nonsense, bragging should also have a degree, it's all blown to the sky!"

"What are you blowing? Anyone who has a certain understanding of modern military affairs knows it!"

"It's far away, didn't Li Qian personally say that he would make a romance movie, how could he go to make a war movie halfway through, this is fake. ”

"TV stations have photos of Li Qian visiting veterans, otherwise is it love in the war?"

"Love in a war movie? Isn't that still a war movie?"

"Li Qian can always play some new tricks for us!"
