Although Fang Zhenwu is only a producer, he still has a lot of background. He used to be a confidential officer of the North China Military Region, but after the liberation, he was transferred to the General Manager's Office. Later, with the help of Soviet experts, the state established the Beijing Film Studio in Xiaoguan, and due to the need for manpower, Fang Zhenwu and several other people were transferred from the State Council to the Beijing Film Studio as the production director. In the past 20 years at Beijing Film Studio, he has participated in the production of many important films of Beijing Film Studio. Last year, when the Film Export Company was established, he was transferred to the Export Company to be in charge of production.

When Fang Zhenwu was a confidential officer in the North China Military Region, he came into contact with the head of the military region; after entering the general/manager's office, he came into contact with the head of the central government; and after entering the Beijing Film Studio, he cooperated with big directors such as Cui Wei, Cheng Yin, and Shui Hua.

In Fang Zhenwu's opinion, Nortel's four handsome, four middle marshal, and four small handsome, which one is worse than you Xu Wangqiu, everyone is modest and cautious, and you Xu Wangqiu only made two movies, and his tail rose to the sky, and he said coldly: "Do you think that this movie can't be made without you Xu Wangqiu? Without you, Xu Wangqiu's "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" would still be filmed well. ”

Xu Wangqiu said in a mocking tone: "Then I will also tell you that Chinese can live without kneeling in front of foreigners." On October 1, 1949, Taizu said that the Chinese people had stood up from then on. I don't understand why, after 30 years, some people like to kneel in front of foreigners and can't pull up. ”

Fang Zhenwu was so angry when he saw Xu Wangqiu say such ugly words, thinking that you Nortel Dean Chengyin didn't dare to talk to me like this, you actually said this, he pointed at Xu Wangqiu's nose and scolded: "You are simply unorganized, undisciplined, and you don't pay attention to national policies at all." I'll tell you what you're saying. ”

Xu Wangqiu said coldly: "Listen to the respect, this lawsuit is as big as the head of the central government, I still say that the crew is not a concession, since they are in the same crew, then the Chinese staff should be treated the same as the Dongying staff, and the Chinese cannot be inferior and cannot engage in reverse discrimination." ”

Hu Jian knew that "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" really wouldn't have been possible without Xu Wangqiu. The export company invested in several films last year, but they couldn't sell overseas at all, and "Shaolin Temple" had to be remade because of poor quality. If "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" is filmed by other directors, not only will it not be sold overseas, but I'm afraid that Yasuya Tokuma and they will not agree.

Hu Jian saw that the two of them were arguing, and hurriedly said, "You two don't fight." I think so, put aside the issue of wages for now, and when I go back, I will report to my superiors and listen to my superiors' arrangements. The most important thing for us now is to negotiate the cooperation agreement and the script. Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and our film will definitely have to be released before then, and we only have more than a year to go. He saw that Xu Wangqiu's face was full of dissatisfaction, and persuaded: "Wangqiu, don't play with the child's temper." It is to focus on the overall situation, and you must not be picky. ”

Xu Wangqiu also knows that now is not the time to pick a pick: "Even if I want to quit "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished", I will not quit now, and I will definitely complete the work this time." ”

In the next day or so, Xu Wangqiu and Hu Jian put aside the issue of wages and began to discuss the script with Dongying.

In November last year, Yasuko Ohno's revised script was sent to Kitakei. The description of Dongying's life and the portrayal of Dongying's characters in the play are vivid. In particular, the shaping of Matsuba Linzuo gives it a strong personality that is bold, debauched and more important than emotional.

However, there are many problems in the Chinese part of Yasuko Ohno's script, which is completely inconsistent with the actual situation in China, and even a bit bloody. For example, the description of Guo Yishan who happened to meet the female "team leader" of the anti-Japanese condolence performance on the way to exile and developed feelings; for example, the description of Song Bo sneaking into the liberated area under the guidance of Guan Xiaozhou to look for Guo Yishan is particularly false, and it is almost impossible for this situation to occur in reality.

Tokuma Yasukuai's view of the new version written by Xu Wangqiu is that the Chinese part is wonderfully written, but there are many problems with the Dongying part, mainly because many things do not conform to the reality of Dongying and do not conform to logic.

Life is really the source of creation, and no matter how experienced a writer is, describing a life that he is not familiar with, he may write about the emperor's golden flat dan.

The two sides soon agreed to combine the Chinese part written by Xu Wangqiu and the Dongying part written by Yasuko Ohno as the complete framework of "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Played".

In the process of discussing the script, Yasuko Ohno came up with a new idea, and Matsumami was very depressed due to the death of Amin, and Onda wanted to cheer him up, so he mobilized him to go to the city of Go, near Hiroshima, to watch the Go match. As Onda rushed from Hiroshima to Itakachi, a B29 plane appeared in the sky. Onda was riding his bicycle and looked up to see a parachute dropped from the plane. Suddenly, a strong and dazzling flash of light, Enda disappeared.

Xu Wangqiu knew that Yasuko Ohno wanted to show the harm of war to ordinary Dongying people, and the anti-war defeat movies of Dongying in later generations had a similar plot, that is, about the harm of war to ordinary people in Dongying, but these movies avoided a question, that is, how did the war come about. No snowflake is innocent during the avalanche, and no Dongying people who support the war are innocent.

Xu Wangqiu felt that this plot could be filmed, but it must be pointed out that this atomic bomb was only recruited by the Dongying people themselves. In December 1937, when the news of the capture of Nanjing by Dongying soldiers came back to Dongying, the country was boiling and the whole country celebrated the victory. Amin walked down the street, looking at the crowd celebrating on the street, feeling extremely lonely and miserable. In the celebratory crowd, he saw the Toei chess players who were learning chess with him, as well as Enda.

Hu Jian and Fang Zhenwu were a little worried, thinking that it would not have a bad impact on such a film, after all, "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" was filmed to celebrate the ten years of normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and they should write more about friendship.

As a member of the Japanese Communist Party, Tokuma Yasushi felt that he should shoot like this, because this was the situation at that time. At that time, the people of Dongying were brainwashed by the military/Chinese/ism, thinking that the capture of Nanjing was to save the people there. Junya Sato also thinks that it should be filmed like this, and it is a tragedy that Hiroshima was hit by the atomic bomb, but the people of Toei must realize that it is brought about by the military/China/doctrine, otherwise the tragedy may be repeated.

That afternoon, Xu Wangqiu, Junya Sato, and Chinese and Japanese personnel came to a conference room of Daiei's company, waiting to audition for the girl they met in Ueno Park that day.

As the director of Toei, Junya Sato has in-depth thinking about the role of "A Game of Chess That Never Ends", and has a list of favorite candidates in his heart, and the first choice in his heart is Yakushimaru Hiroko. Yakushimaru Hiroko has collaborated with him in "Proof of the Wild", and he feels that Yakushimaru Hiroko is talented, has strong plasticity, and can play the role of Haoba.

However, after hearing Xu Wangqiu and Mori Chongdao's description of the girl they met in Ueno Park, Junya Sato felt that the girl Xu Wangqiu was talking about might seem to be more suitable for her image and temperament, and she was looking forward to the next interview.

Since there were still more than ten minutes before the audition time, Xu Wangqiu and they chatted about casting in the conference room.

Junya Sato smiled and said to Xu Wangqiu: "Mr. Sato originally wanted Kurihara Komaki to play Ba, she is very popular in Dongying and is also very famous in China. At the beginning, Mr. Zhao Shan said that he wanted to cooperate with her, he played the male lead, and Kurihara Komaki played the heroine. But I think Kurihara Komaki is too old to play the girlhood ba. ”

Xu Wangqiu also has the same opinion: "It's okay for Kurihara Komaki to play Ba after marriage, but it's not good to play Ba when she was a girl." A mature actor like her often can't play a girl well. In the process of growing up, many innocent things are lost, and it is very difficult to get them back. There is no one in ten thousand actors who can do this, and they are absolute geniuses. On the contrary, it is relatively easy for young actors to play mature. Therefore, it is better for the actor of Ba not to be more than twenty years old. ”

Junya Sato nodded slightly: "I think so too, you can't be more than twenty years old, otherwise you won't be able to act out that sense of innocence." ”

At the same time, a girl who looked like a high school student walked into the door of Daying's company, and it was the girl Xu Wangqiu and they met that day. After she went back that day, she specifically checked Dayei Company and knew that Dayei was one of the five major film companies in Toei, and all the films were regular films, and the cooperators were all big stars such as Tatsuya Nakadai and Ken Takakura. She knew that this was an opportunity for her, and she had prepared for it.

The girl walked to the front desk with apprehension, took out the business card that Sen Fan gave her, and handed it to the front desk: "Hello." I made an appointment with Mr. Mori from your company, and he asked me to come to the audition at 3 o'clock this afternoon. ”

The front desk took the business card and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mori, they are waiting for you in the conference room, please come with me." ”

The girl took a deep breath and followed the front desk into the building, to the conference room on the third floor.

The moment she walked into the conference room, the girl saw the furnishings in the room at a glance. It is a very spacious conference room with two rows of long tables. In front of the table is a chair, which is the chair of the auditioning actors. Behind the table sat seven or eight people, several of whom were Mr. Mori Shigeru, whom she had met in Nagano Park that day and who had given her business cards, and the young man who was about his own age. On the left side of the table is a camera, and behind it stands a photographer.

Junya Sato was slightly stunned when she saw the girl, this girl was more delicate, and there was a faint sense of grief between her eyebrows and eyes, giving people a feeling of pity when she saw it, especially suitable for playing tragedy. In terms of image and temperament alone, this girl is indeed more suitable for playing Ba than Yakushimaru Hiroko, but whether she can act or not, and whether she has the talent to act, will not be known until after the audition.

Mori Chong nodded slightly, and said, "I told you that day, our film is a film jointly produced by Dongying and China, and it was filmed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan. Let me introduce to you, this is the owner of our company, Mr. Yasukuai Tokuma, this is Mr. Hu Jian, the deputy general manager of China Film Export Corporation, this is Mr. Masao Takenaka, the producer of the film, this is Mr. Zhenwu, the Chinese producer, Mr. Junya Sato, the director of the film, and Mr. Xu Wangqiu, the Chinese director of the film......"

When the girl heard that Xu Wangqiu was the director, her eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed "ah", she was about the same age as me, and she was a director, which is too powerful!

Everyone present looked at Xu Wangqiu in surprise and laughed, Xu Wangqiu is indeed too young, as long as you know a little about movies, you will be surprised to see such a young director.

When the girl saw that everyone was laughing, she thought that everyone was laughing at herself, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.

After introducing the identity of the interviewer, Mori said with a smile: "Now please introduce yourself." ”

The girl took a light breath and said, "My name is Akina Nakamori, 16 years old, and I am from Ota Ward, Tokyo. I studied ballet with my sister at the Akiko Yokoyama Modern Ballet Studio from the age of 4 until I was 14 years old. When I was 13 years old, I participated in the singer selection program "Star Birth!", and I ......"
