Spielberg was obviously busy with other things, and he didn't miss out on the matter of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins.

In addition to asking for as real as possible, he also talked to Qiao Feng about the general shooting ideas.

Because the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling are talking about what happened during the Jinling Massacre, this background must first be filmed and introduced clearly.

As soon as Qiao Feng heard it, he felt that this idea was good, much better than the beginning of Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins began with a monologue, directly that Jinling has been bombed for more than 20 days, except for this simple introduction to the background, whether it is about the attack of the little devil or the defense of the national army, there is no introduction.

It's very straightforward to get straight to the point, the city is broken, the devil comes in and is killing, and then the countrymen are hunted down.

This kind of opening is really okay, but this kind of opening is only suitable for Chinese people who know that period of history.

For foreigners who don't know much about this history or know very little, they are completely confused, and the background is not clear, so how can it attract them to read it.

Spielberg, as a foreigner, from his own point of view, knew how to get foreigners like himself interested in this story of massacres and massacres that took place in a foreign land.

Listening to Spielberg's filming ideas, Qiao Feng has a sense of déjà vu of seeing Private Ryan in time and space.

Saving Private Ryan begins with an introduction to the background, the Normandy landings.

A flesh-and-blood landing battle that lasted for nearly half an hour not only introduced the background but also presented the cruelty of the war in front of the audience.

It is in such a cruel background that the protagonist receives a fatal task.

Among the four sons of the Ryan family who fought on the front line, except for the youngest son of the 101st Airborne Division, Private James Ryan, who is still missing, the other three sons have all died in various places in the past two weeks.

After learning of this, General Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, out of humanitarian considerations, specially ordered the protagonist to lead a team of 8 people to find Private James Ryan, whose fate was uncertain, in the vast sea of people and the rain of bullets, and send him back to the rear safely.

After half an hour of background presentation, the whole story revolves around the theme of saving Private Ryan.

I don't know if there is a providence in the dark, Spielberg's shooting idea of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins is also similar to the way it unfolds.

Starting from the general background, 200,000 Japanese troops attacked Jinling in three ways, and most of them retreated from the Songhu battlefield to rest, and the remnants of many troops of the national army were less than 150,000 people struggling to defend.

Of course, there will be no less brutal scenes of war, but the background introduction will be from the point to the point.

Due to technical and financial reasons, it is definitely impossible to shoot the footage of the entire Jinling Beacon Fighting Heaven and Void.

Therefore, the cruelty of the war, the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, and the heavy casualties of the national army can only be filmed in a local, small-scale war scene point by point, so that people can get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Then the defense of the national army in the war will not blindly belittle them, nor will it blindly elevate them.

How it should be is how it is.

The national army suffered heavy casualties in the war and also put up stubborn resistance.

And the confusion of the decision-making level of the national army in the formulation of strategy and tactics should also be filmed.

There are also things like making excuses not to carry out orders when retreating, not retreating in the direction and time given by the order, giving up their responsibilities and missions as soldiers in order to escape, and rushing together to Shimonoseki, which the enemy has not yet reached.

As a result, the whole retreat was disorderly and chaotic, not only did the various departments scramble to be the first to pass each other, many people were trampled to death because they were squeezed down, but also caused tens of thousands of soldiers to fail to retreat, stranded in the city and finally slaughtered.

These will be presented authentically, without whitewashing or discrediting.

We must let everyone know what the real Jinling defense battle was like, and why the tens of thousands of national soldiers in the Jinling Massacre were stranded in the city and finally slaughtered.

The whole defense of Jinling was chaotic for the Chinese army as a whole, and the will to resist was not firm, but there were also heroic characters and shining points.

After all, in the entire defense of Jinling, the national army lost eight people in the major general alone, and the colonel and lieutenant colonel combined thirty-nine people.

It is precisely for this reason that Spielberg said that in the script of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins given by Qiao Feng at the beginning, the soldiers of the national army teaching team are the soldiers played by Tong Da. who help the female students return to the church, and their settings remain unchanged.

What changed was that after the destruction of Jinling City, when the national army in the city was fleeing and evacuating from the rear, they were one of the few teams that advanced in the direction of the Japanese army and blocked it.

They are the only warm colors in the ranks of the national army in the cold colors and blood tones in Jinling City.

Then there's what happened after they met Yumo and helped them escape to the church.

Of course, although these soldiers are heroic, they will definitely not fight ten or dozens like in Lao Mouzi's movie.

That's too exaggerated and too fake.

If the national army is so powerful, how can it still let the little devils enter Jinling City, and how can there be a massacre.

Therefore, in this national army, the soldiers of these teaching teams can be brave, and they can be more powerful than the little devils, but the strength is limited, at least it is normal, and one fights two or three.

This is Spielberg's general idea, and the specifics will be adjusted after the script is written.

Another point is about the setting of the priest, Spielberg thinks it's too nonsense to have a corpse collector as a priest.

In particular, this person braved the fire of devils in the bloody and tragic war full of artillery fire, risking his life to go to the church to collect the body of the priest.

How to think about such a setting.

The priest is a real priest, the priest is in the church, and the schoolgirls are in the church.

Because the United States is in a neutral country, this American church has naturally become a refuge, and Yumo, who was rescued by the soldiers of the teaching team, ran away like headless flies, ran outside the church, and then climbed the wall outside the church to seek refuge.

The priest made a difficult decision to take them in on the basis of his humanitarian stance and his own beliefs.

"Steven, you've got a good idea, and I think the new script should be written along these lines." After listening to all Spielberg's ideas and considerations, Qiao Feng said very happily.

Spielberg nodded, he was very grateful to Qiao Feng for accepting his idea of accepting the whole article, and he felt respected and recognized.

At the same time, he also felt that he was very compatible with Qiao Feng, and the trace that he originally had in his heart disappeared because Qiao Feng took Jurassic Park to force him to shoot this Jinling Thirteen Hairpins.

"I'm also going to be involved in writing the script." Spielberg, who has a feeling of death as a confidant, feels that it is necessary for him to start controlling from the script stage in order to live up to Qiao Feng's trust in him.

"I can't ask for it." Qiao Feng laughed.
