Xu Wangqiu is not the first time to enter Zhongnanhai, he entered it once last year when the country discussed the establishment of a film export company. However, the meeting was attended mainly by the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, the Propaganda Department, and other relevant departments, and this time it was the largest leaders who were to meet with them.

In order to leave a good impression on the chief, Xu Wangqiu, who doesn't like to wear formal clothes very much, put on a blue Zhongshan suit, polyester card fabric, and straight clothes, which made him look very spiritual.

Wang Lanxi was particularly satisfied with Xu Wangqiu's dress, and praised: "This is much better than the clothes you usually wear messily." ”

After Xu Wangqiu and Wang Lanxi entered the Zhongnanhai Qinzheng Palace, they were arranged to wait in the lounge. At 2:50 a.m., they were ushered into a spacious screening room. The screening hall is similar to the high-end standard screening hall of Beijing Film Studio, there are not many seats inside, all of them are single sofas, and each sofa is covered with an ivory-white sofa cover, which is clean and tidy. At this time, there were more than a dozen people seated inside, of which several members of the Standing Committee were seated in the first row, and several of them were all generals sitting in the second row.

Seeing so many central leaders come to see his own movies, Xu Wangqiu was very nervous, worried that he would be out of the basket, and at the same time he was very excited, so many central leaders were present, which showed that China Film attached great importance to "Falcon" and the film export company. If it can be recognized by the central government, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of the film export company.

The leader who presided over the film viewing meeting saw Xu Wangqiu and them come in, called Xu Wangqiu to the front, and asked him to introduce the relevant situation of "Falcon" to everyone.

Xu Wangqiu was fully prepared and said unhurriedly, "Actually, at the beginning, we just wanted to shoot a story similar to "Crossing the River Reconnaissance". In the process of writing the script, we saw the Central Military Commission's commendation order for Wu Zhiping's observation team, and learned the story of Wu Zhiping's observation team. The 27th Artillery Regiment was ordered to join the 122nd Division of the Army to attack Shuojiang in the self-defense and counterattack operation against Vietnam. Wu Zhiping, deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion, led an observation group behind enemy lines, under the escort of an infantry reconnaissance squad, to penetrate the enemy to a depth of 20 kilometers, persisted in fighting for three days and three nights, and then turned into an advance observation post, advancing with the synchronized troops, reporting the enemy's situation and the firing effect of our artillery fire 13 times, directing our artillery to shoot accurately five times, destroying more than 340 enemy people, destroying 2 enemy artillery positions, 5 firing points, 5 artillery pieces, and 1 barracks.

We have incorporated the deeds of Wu Zhiping's observation team into our story. Later, when we went to the southern Yunnan front, the troops who assisted us in filming were those who had participated in the self-defense counterattack, and the soldiers told us a lot of their own stories, as well as the stories they saw and heard. We put these stories into the script and merged them into our current story.

"Falcon" is mainly about the fact that when our army launched an attack on the Vietnamese ace division, it was attacked by the enemy's heavy artillery. In order to find out the location of the Vietnamese heavy artillery, our Falcon Group, under the leadership of the captain Yan Shuangying, infiltrated behind the enemy to find the location of the enemy's heavy artillery. The Falcon Squad broke through many obstacles, discovered the location of the enemy's heavy artillery, and finally guided our artillery to the ground, and destroyed the Vietnamese artillery......"

After talking about the idea of "Falcon", Xu Wangqiu talked about the theme of the script, the connotation and extension, and the relevant information of the film release. The leaders present were very happy to hear that Tokuma Yasukuai had purchased the rights to "Falcon" for $4 million, and they were even happier to hear that overseas sales were likely to exceed 10 million. Finally, Xu Wangqiu bowed to the leaders present: "There are many immature places in "Falcon", and I hope to get the correction of the leaders. With that, he prepared to go back.

The chief beckoned to Xu Wangqiu, pointed to the vacant seat beside him and said, "Director Xu, you sit here." ”

It is not the first time that Xu Wangqiu has accompanied the leader to watch a movie, and he knows that when watching a movie, he may be arranged in the middle to facilitate the leader to ask questions. However, it was really stressful to sit among the leaders, so he hurriedly excused himself and prepared to go back.

The leader who presided over the meeting said: "Let you sit here and work needs, you don't have to shirk." ”

Xu Wangqiu couldn't shirk it anymore, so he could only sit in the middle of the two leaders. Immediately after he took his seat, the chief asked him about the details of the film export company and the overseas distribution of "Falcon". Xu Wangqiu naturally knew everything and said everything, and said everything that should be said.

Soon the lights in the screening room went out, and as the screen lit up, the film began to show officially.

In the quiet of the morning, everything is quiet, and the spacious meadow is full of all kinds of flowers, like a colorful flower cloth. The roar of the cars rang out, and then the cars drove into the meadow, the green grass crushed and the flowers crushed. The camera cuts to mid-air, cars, tanks, armored vehicles, and a large army of our army are advancing mightily.

The camera cuts back to the grass, where the soldiers push the cannons in front of the meadow, lined up neatly, and quickly shake the cannons to point at the Vietnamese positions. The fighters then quickly reloaded their shells and took their positions, waiting for the order to fire.

The camera cuts to the command headquarters, and the sound of telegrams, telephones, and shouts echoes in one place. The division commander stood in front of the military map and looked intently at the military map on the wall. At this moment, he looked at his watch and shouted the order: "Go!"

In the artillery position, small red flags were raised high, and then waved down vigorously. Immediately afterwards, the gunner pulled the howitzer's rope hard. The earth-shattering loud noise made the whole world tremble slightly, and the shock wave generated by the moment the cannon was fired made the position filled with smoke and dust, and it was almost impossible to see human figures. Then, the rocket launchers began to fire, and the fire dragons roared into the air, cutting through the gray sky.

The shells landed on the enemy positions and made a shocking explosion. I saw black mushrooms coming out of the Vietnamese army's position one after another, and the scarlet flames kept rolling in the black smoke. The Vietnamese fortifications were constantly destroyed, turning into rubble and mud and flying around, and the Vietnamese soldiers were blown up and shattered in the screams.

Xu Wangqiu secretly glanced at the reactions of the leaders next to him and the leaders behind him, and he couldn't see any expression on their faces, nor did he see the slightest emotion. This made him a little disappointed that the audience did not react to the battle scenes he carefully filmed, but he also knew that many leaders had been on the battlefield, and it was normal not to feel it.

After our artillery fire, under the cover of hundreds of tanks, the avant-garde regiment launched an attack on the enemy's positions. The Vietnamese firing points immediately launched a counterattack, and the artillery positions began to shell the positions of our troops. With a whistling sound, more than a dozen shells suddenly fell on the positions of the attacking units of our army. In the deafening explosion, the camera lens trembled. However, because the enemy's artillery was not heavy artillery, it caused some casualties to our troops, but the impact was not great, and it was impossible to stop the advance of our tanks.

Our tanks quickly occupied advantageous positions and fired at the enemy's exposed fire points with tank guns. At the same time, our infantry quickly stormed and occupied and cleared the remnants of the enemy. The infantry and tan coordination achieved good results, and the enemy defense line was quickly crushed.

Xu Wangqiu secretly observed a few committee members, but they didn't have much reaction; when he looked back at the generals secretly, they all smiled and looked very satisfied. This is the first time that large-scale infantry and tan coordinated operations have appeared in Chinese films. After watching "Falcon", the leaders of the General Staff were very satisfied with this paragraph and felt that the shooting was particularly good. Obviously, these generals felt the same way.

The camera cuts to a jeep speeding up and stopping in front of the headquarters. An officer got out of the car and ran briskly into the headquarters. With a smile on his face, the officer reported to the division commander who was standing in front of the map and thinking: "Division commander, the firepower of the Vietnamese army has been suppressed by us, and the avant-garde regiment has broken through the enemy's first line of defense. ”

The division commander did not smile at all, but frowned: "Our opponent is the 36th Division, the ace of the Vietnamese army, which is a unit with rich combat experience, which has participated in the battles of Nam Ta, Ha Lao, and Tay Yuan, and has played a key role in the decisive battle of Ho Chi Minh City, which completely overthrew the puppet regime in South Vietnam. A force like this should have a strong will to fight. Don't you think it's strange to the Chief of Staff, how can they be so vulnerable?"

Hearing the division commander say this, the chief of staff's expression became a little solemn.

The camera cuts to the front line, where our fighters, under the cover of tanks, are attacking the enemy's second line of defense. At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded behind the enemy positions. Immediately after that, more than 20 heavy artillery shells fell on our army's position, and in the loud sound that shook the sky, the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, and the earth and rocks flew sideways, and then the endless artillery shells whistled and fell on our army's position like raindrops, and in the blink of an eye, the entire position turned into a sea of fire.

"Boom!" a shell fell among our soldiers, and a black mushroom rose with red flames tumbling, and the soldiers were blown to pieces. The stumps were mixed with dust and stones, flying everywhere.

"Boom!" a shell fell on the tank. In the tumbling flames, the tank stopped, and billowing smoke ignited.

In the smoke of gunpowder, a soldier carrying a single radio on his back took the microphone and reported to the headquarters: "Eagle's Nest! Eagle's Nest! The avant-garde regiment was fiercely attacked by the enemy! Fiercely attacked! The Vietnamese artillery fire was fierce! The attack was blocked! The attack was blocked! Request for support! Request for support!"

In the command headquarters, the division commander and the chief of staff glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more solemn.

The chief of staff picked up the phone: "Pay attention to all observation posts and quickly find out the enemy's heavy artillery positions that suddenly appeared!"

Our troops quickly activated their mines and began to reconnoiter the enemy's positions, while the various observation posts quickly reported what they had observed. However, neither radar nor observation posts were able to detect the heavy artillery positions of the Vietnamese army. Due to the high mountain and heavy fog, there is no way to make effective observations.

The division commander decisively gave the order: "Let the troops pause and adjust." Then he immediately added: "By the way, where is Yan Shuangying now?"

The chief of staff next to him said: "They are conducting wilderness survival training in the mountains. ”

The camera cuts to a field of green, vast mountains and tropical rainforests, rain and fog, towering trees towering and disappearing, and green leaf-like novelty rising. The camera cuts to the ground, where a birdsong is heard in the lush jungle, and then six warriors in military uniforms with branches stuck in their heads emerge from the bushes.

The camera gave Zhou Lijin a big close-up. As soon as the division commander asked where Yan Shuangying was, he immediately gave Zhou Lijin a close-up, which was to tell the audience that he was Yan Shuangying. Yan Shuangying looked at the time and said to the soldiers: "Everyone squatted in the jungle for a night, they must be tired and hungry. Everyone's dry food is gone, but it doesn't matter if it's gone, I've prepared a delicious meal for everyone. As he spoke, he nodded at Tang Guoqiang with a smile on his face.

Tang Guoqiang picked up the military shovel with a smile on his face, dug on the ground, reached out and grabbed the land, and grabbed a handful of earthworms. Red, and Tang Guoqiang's hands couldn't help writhing, like little snakes. Tang Guoqiang looked at a few soldiers and said with a smile: "This is our food for the next few days." ”

Several fighters were all dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears. Not only them, but the leaders in front of the screen also showed surprise, no, they actually used earthworms as food.
