In this era, the state has very strict control over films, and films will go through multiple rounds of review from the time the script is approved to the final release. At the time of filming, the resulting dailies are reviewed by the studio. After the completion of the film's dialogue double, the film studio and the provincial and municipal film bureaus will conduct a double film review. After the mixing effect is completed, it must pass the review of the provincial and municipal propaganda departments. Only after these reviews have passed, can the film be sent to the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture for final review.

On July 5th, the leaders of the Magic Shadow Studio, the Art Management Committee, the Technical Committee of the Factory, as well as the heads of the creative studio, the technical office and relevant departments, and the main creators of "Hoe Rape" conducted a double film review in the standard screening hall of the factory. Since "Hoe Rape" was recorded at the same time, the dialogue double film is not much different from the sample film, and it easily passed the review of the Magic Shadow Studio.

Next, the Magic Film Studio contacted the Magic City Film Bureau and invited the leaders of the Film Bureau to conduct a double film review. After watching the dialogue double of "The Rape", the leaders of the Film Bureau were full of praise, believing that this is a very innovative and groundbreaking film. Of course, there are also leaders who say that the movie shots are too shaky and make people dizzy, and some people think that the movie is a bit too bloody. However, the film bureau did not ask the crew to modify the film, nor did it ask for deletion.

After the dialogue double film successfully passed the review, "The Rape" began to work on the opening credits, and began to mix the sound effects and music.

Cinema is an audiovisual art, and without sound, the charm of cinema would be diminished by more than half. From the sound of squirming footsteps and frying and frying, to the emotional soundtrack and theme song, these sounds that are so taken for granted that they are ignored are actually an important factor in the rich connotation of the film. This is also the reason why watching the same movie on TV feels very different from watching it in the theater.

"Hoe Rape" has put a lot of effort into the sound, and the gunshots and explosions in the movie are all real records. Before the filming of the movie started, the recording team specially found a variety of guns from the Republic of China, such as Bai Langning, barge guns, etc., and recorded a complete set of sound effects of firearms.

On the soundtrack of the movie, "Hoe Rape" invited the famous composer Lu Qiming. He has composed music for dozens of films, including "Railway Guerrilla" and "Red Sun", including songs such as "Play My Beloved Tupa" and "Who Doesn't Say My Hometown is Good", which are familiar to the audience.

In this era, composition is the composer's business, and the director does not interfere, and most domestic directors do not understand music and cannot communicate effectively with composers. Director Wang Xiaoshuai admitted frankly that because he doesn't know much about music, his films rarely use music. On the contrary, foreign directors are much stronger in music, and some directors can compose music themselves, such as David Lynch, Clint Eastwood.

Xu Wangqiu originally knew a little about fur, and after crossing over, he secretly studied with a defeated professor in the Chuanyin Composition Department for a few years. Although he is not good enough to compose his own films like Eastwood, he has no problem communicating with composers.

However, because he understands music and firmly believes that music is an indispensable part of the movie, on the issue of soundtrack, Xu Wangqiu doesn't know how many times he quarreled with Lu Qiming, and it can even be said that he quarreled from beginning to end. When the quarrel was the worst, Lu Qiming patted the table and said, I won't write it, you can find another Gao Ming.

Lu Qiming began composing music for "Hoe Rape" in late February, and it was not until early July that Xu Wangqiu nodded and passed. However, the final effect was very good, and Lu Qiming himself was very satisfied. For example, after most of the hoe and rape squad died in battle, the camera slowly swept over the street, and the sound of trumpets was used to reflect the solemnity of the revolutionaries' sacrifices, which brought a strong impact to people's visual and auditory senses, and the three-dimensional sense of picture and music was presented, making the viewer feel as if they were immersed in the tragic scene after the war.

After the mixing of the two films was completed, the Magic Shadow Studio invited the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee to review it at the first time. Unexpectedly, many people in the Magic Shadow Factory didn't know where to get the news, saying that the drama "Hoe Rape" would definitely be popular, and they flocked to the high-level standard room, wanting to see it. The high-level standard room was originally prepared for the leaders to review the film, and it was all a single sofa, and there were not many seats, but the people in the factory didn't care, and just sat on the carpet and watched.

"Hoe" is a typical commercial film, which opens with the leader of the provincial party committee being arrested by the enemy during a meeting. Immediately afterwards, the enemy gave them the order to shoot them on the spot. In order to rescue them, the hoe team all appeared on the stage, ready to be rescued by arms. Everyone at the scene was pulled into the story in a very short time, and their moods rose and fell as the story changed.

Many people feel the excellence and novelty of "Hoe Rape", and they all realize that this is a completely different movie from previous domestic films. But they obviously underestimated this movie, and when the battle really started, they were all dumbfounded, they had never seen a movie like this, they didn't expect the movie to be made like this.

At the end of the 100-minute movie, no one spoke on the scene, and everyone stared at the movie screen in a daze. Not only the leaders of the Propaganda Department, but also the employees of the film studio, and even the leaders of the Magic Shadow Studio. They've seen the sample and know how shocking "The Hoe" is, but after mixing the effects, the shock has increased at least tenfold, and they're still shocked.

The silence was broken by the shouts of an old man in his sixties: "This movie is well made!

As soon as the old man shouted like this, everyone at the scene came back to their senses and stood up and applauded.

Xu Wangqiu and the entire crew of "Hoe Rape" stood up, clapped their palms gently, and accepted the congratulations of the people around them.

Xu Wangqiu has been to the three major film festivals and participated in the award ceremony, and he has long been accustomed to all kinds of applause, but Fang Shu and Zhou Lijin are the first time they have seen this kind of scene, and when they hear such warm applause for the first time, they can't help but have tears in their eyes, and they are so excited that they almost cry.

The old man who shouted loudly walked up to Xu Wangqiu, grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "Good boy! Good boy! You have done a good job of shooting this film!

Xu Wangqiu didn't know who the old man was, but knew that he must be the old-timer of the Modu Film Factory, so he said modestly: "Thank you! Thank you! There are still many places where "Hoe Rape" is not good enough. ”

Xu Shangchu next to him introduced with a smile: "Wangqiu, this is Director Tang Xiaodan of our Magic Shadow Studio. ”

Xu Wangqiu was taken aback when he heard the name Tang Xiaodan, and hurriedly bowed to the old man: "Hello Senior Tang, I grew up watching your movies. I don't know how many times I have watched "Southern Expedition and Northern War" and "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", and the lines in them are like memorization. Speaking of this, he cleared his throat and imitated the speech of the person in the movie: "Commander Zhang, for the sake of the party and the state, let's pull the brothers!

Everyone at the scene laughed when they heard this, these lines of "Southern Expedition and Northern War" are very classic, and everyone is familiar with them.

Tang Xiaodan also couldn't help but wonder, "Southern Expedition and Northern War" was co-directed by him and Cheng Yin, of which Cheng Yin directed the People's Liberation Army part, and he directed the Kuomintang part, Xu Wangqiunian's line was indeed filmed by him.

Tang Xiaodan lived in Indonesia as a child and returned to China at the age of ten. He has loved movies since he was a child, and he has been actively involved in movies since he grew up. In 1933, Tang Xiaodan, who was the set designer of Tianyi Film Company, unexpectedly got the opportunity to direct the film and filmed his debut/debut film "Platinum Dragon". The film made Shaw Brothers an instant hit in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, and the subsequent "Confused Father" was also a blockbuster. If it weren't for Dongying's invasion of China, Tang Xiaodan might have made films in Xiangjiang from now on and became a great director in Xiangjiang. However, Xiangjiang fell.

In 1941, Hong Kong fell into the hands of the enemy. The supreme commander of the Japanese army occupying Hong Kong, Ryosuke Isoya, had an appointment with Tang Xiaodan in the name of drinking tea, saying that he would make a movie "Xiangjiang Raiders" and let Tang Xiaodan be the director. Tang Xiaodan pretended to agree, and then disguised himself as a refugee, first fled to Guilin, and then to the mountain city.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tang Xiaodan entered the Magic Film Studio and filmed well-known war films in the history of New Chinese films such as "Southern Expedition and Northern War" and "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", and he was also known as the "screen general". He not only filmed war scenes very excitingly, but also was good at portraying human feelings and human nature in the war environment, and softened the cruelty and hardness of war with human emotions and human hearts.

As a war film, "Hoe Rape" can be affirmed by Tang Xiaodan, whether it is for Xu Wangqiu or the entire crew of "Hoe Rape", it is a huge affirmation.

More and more people came over, excitedly talking about their inner feelings, and congratulating the crew of "Hoe Rape".

Even the head of the Propaganda Department of the Demon Capital held Xu Wangqiu's hand and couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Xu, you have made this film well! I was terrified when I saw it, and I was worried about the comrades in the movie." This film shows the courage, wisdom, and fearless sacrifice of the underground party, and it is a good film that truly achieves the unity of ideology, artistry, and ornamentation!"

Xu Wangqiu smiled when he heard this. Since the ministers have said so, there will definitely be no problem for "Hoe Rape" to pass the review.

Sure enough, as Xu Wangqiu expected, the review opinions of the Propaganda Department quickly reached the Magic Shadow Factory. The ministry fully affirmed "Hoe Rape", not changing a word, not deleting a single shot.

According to national regulations, after the mixed double film passes the review of the Propaganda Department of the Magic Capital, the Magic Film Studio can go to Beiping and send the film to the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture for the ultimate review.

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, the Shadow Factory sent a car to send Xu Wangqiu and them to the train station. Since the film is sent to the Film Bureau for review, it usually takes 20 days to get a result. Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei are both from Nortel, and the Magic Shadow Factory gave them the task of submitting the film for review. In order to show his attention to this matter, Xu Shangchu personally went to the train station to see him off.

"Hoe Rape" was sentenced to death by the head of the ministry, and it is very difficult to take off the hat of the death penalty, and it will definitely not be possible to rely on the power of the Magic Shadow Studio, so you can only hope for Nortel. Xu Shangchu knew that Xie Fei was the second generation of red and the co-director of "The Rape", Xie Fei would definitely help, so he held his hand and said, "I really can only rely on you to review this matter." It would be a pity that such a good movie as "Hoe Rape" could not be released smoothly. ”

Xie Fei smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, "Hoe Rape" will definitely be released smoothly." ”

Xu Shangchu said to Xu Wangqiu again: "Wangqiu, if you have any new ideas, if you want to shoot any stories, you can come to us directly, the door of the Magic Shadow Factory will always be open to you." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "I have seen the technology and strength of the Demon Shadow Factory, and I will definitely cooperate in the future." ”

A whistle sounded, and the train slowly drove out of Modu Station, heading towards the north, towards Beiping City. Xu Shangchu stood on the platform, watching the train slowly leave, and secretly prayed in his heart that Nortel could persuade the Central Dispatch Department that as long as the Central Dispatch Department felt that the movie was fine, then things would be easy to do.
