Chapter 163: Bao Qijing is finished
Zhao Dan's article has had a huge repercussion in the entire literary and art circles, and celebrities in the cultural circles such as Ba Jin, Bingxin, Xia Yan, Yang Hansheng, Chen Huangmei, Bai Yang, and Zhang Ruifang have expressed their support.
Ba Jin published an article for several days in a row, praising Zhao Dan. On the 14th, he wrote an article entitled "Nothing to Fear": "Zhao Shan said what some of us had in our hearts, and what we wanted to say but couldn't say. Maybe he spoke a little later, but he was still the first to speak. I proposed to tell the truth, but he set an example from his sickbed. β
Cao Yu wrote: "It was his cry, appeal, argument, persuasion, complaint, and even prayer from his hospital bed! His ardent hope for the future of literary and artistic development ignited the fire in everyone's heart. β
The crew of "Falcon" is no exception, and they are also discussing Zhao Dan's article. Most of the crew thinks that the state should not be in charge, and it is better not to care about anything. They also brought out Taizong's speech at the Fourth National Literary Congress last year, saying that the complex spiritual labor of literature and art requires artists to give full play to their individual creative spirit; what to write and how to write can only be explored and gradually resolved by literary and artistic artists in the course of artistic practice, and in this respect, we should not interfere arbitrarily.
Xu Wangqiu disagrees with this view, he agrees with Zhao Dan's point of view, the state should be controlled in the general direction, and everyone should be given more freedom in creation. If the country really leaves it alone, then Chinese films will definitely be crushed to ashes by Hollywood. Chinese films are too weak and have no national protection, and the entire industry will inevitably be crushed in the face of strong foreign enemies. In fact, almost all countries hold high the banner of protection in the face of Hollywood, South Korean films have a quota system, and the French government has not only built a huge support system in order to protect its own films, but also stipulates that 40% of the films and TV series broadcast by TV stations must be made in China, 20% from EU countries, and the remaining 40% from other countries.
In Xu Wangqiu's view, finding a balance between state control and creative freedom, and letting the conscience of the entire industry develop is the most important thing, and it is also what everyone should really think about.
On October 10, Xinhua News Agency released the news of Zhao Dan's death, which made countless people at home and abroad who love Zhao Dan feel sad, and people mourn this master in different ways.
Toei film critic Tadao Sato said in a message of condolence: "We deeply mourn the passing of Mr. Zhao Dan, one of the greatest actors in the world. I believe that the great achievements will continue to shine brightly in the future. β
French friend RΓ©gis Bergeron said in a telegram: "The world film industry mourns for him, and I share their grief with all Chinese film industry friends with brotherly feelings!"
The calligrapher Zheng Yixian of the magic capital wrote an elegiac poem with Li, the poem said: "The literary world suddenly reported that the superstar was sinking, but it was difficult to mourn the old tears; Frequent travel to dye the magic pen, and listen to the lingering jade sound; life and death are the joy of the world, and the mountains and rivers shine on the mind. β
The production director knew that Xu Wangqiu had cooperated with Zhao Dan, and Xu Wangqiu's master Su Zhensheng and Zhao Shan were close friends, so he suggested that the crew hold a memorial activity. Xu Wangqiu refused, in his opinion, there is no point in engaging in this formalized thing, and working hard to make a good movie and working hard to make Chinese movies is the best tribute to Zhao Dan.
When the literary and artistic circles solemnly mourned Zhao Dan, the Southern Yunnan Military Region issued the "Operational Order to Annihilate the Enemy in Luojiaping Mountain." In the early morning of 15 October, the 12th Regiment of our army stationed in Maguan Frontier and a certain unit of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Division of the Wenshan Military Subdivision launched a battle to recover Luojiaping Mountain, and by 14:23 p.m., they had captured all the heights of Luojiaping Mountain. This was the first large-scale battle on the Yunnan border since the 1979 self-defense and counter-attack operation against Vietnam.
The place where the battle took place was not far from the mouth of the river, and the war on the entire southern Yunnan front was cloudy. However, the crew of "Falcon" has been in the estuary for a few months, and they are used to it, and everyone knows that the strength of the Vietnamese cannot be compared with the People's Liberation Army at all, and they can only carry out sneak attacks. The whole crew was relatively relaxed and did not feel too much pressure, and the filming was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
October 17th is the day when Bao Qijing's role is finished. What I want to shoot today is that Yuemei played by Bao Qijing was debunked by Yan Shuangying, shot a gun, and threatened Yan Shuangying with them, and was finally easily taken down by Yan Shuangying. The scene where Yuemei was killed has been filmed in the morning, and the psychological battle between Yan Shuangying and Yuemei is filmed below.
This scene is not too difficult, Bao Qijing's performance was a little problematic during the first shooting, and the second time was very good, but considering that Bao Qijing is a Xiangjiang actor, if there is a problem with the lens, it will be more troublesome to call her back to make up the shooting, Xu Wangqiu decided to keep one.
Soon the actors were in place, the crew was in place, and Xu Wangqiu shouted the "start" collar order.
Bao Qijing held a submachine gun, stared at Zhou Lijin, and said coldly: "You guys surrender obediently!"
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Lijin's mouth: "You acted well, but unfortunately you don't have any brains." You even forgot that the gun of the High Tigers is a grenade, and the bullets in it have already been fired. As he spoke, he threw a few bullets on the ground: "The bullets are here!"
Bao Qijing glanced at the bullets on the ground, and her eyes flashed with hesitation.
Zhou Lijin smiled faintly: "You don't believe it, then let's make a bet." You shoot at me, and if there is a bullet in the gun, I will die. If the gun doesn't go off, you lose me a dollar. But I want to remind you that I have a habit of killing anyone who shoots at me, even if she doesn't have a bullet in her gun. How's that, dare you bet with me?"
Bao Qijing was frightened by Zhou Lijin's calmness, cold sweat broke out in her palms, she didn't dare to shoot, she really didn't want to die.
The disdain on Zhou Lijin's face became even stronger: "You have a very powerful female agent in Vietnam named Nguyen Van Hui, I heard that more than 100 US soldiers died directly or indirectly in her hands, and the US military offered a heavy reward of 50,000 US dollars for her head, but she never got her wish. Do you know how she died? I told her, don't shoot me, or I'll kill her. She thought that she had killed a lot of American soldiers and that she could kill me. She was wrong, so, she died. β
When Bao Qijing heard this, her eyes shook back and forth to the left and right, and there was a light of surprise in them, she couldn't believe that this was true, but her eyes quickly stopped rolling around, staring at Xu Wangqiu viciously, with a fierce light shining inside, as if she was about to be pulled, but the fierceness in her eyes was immediately replaced by horror, so that even the hand holding the gun trembled slightly.
Xu Wangqiu stood next to Zeng Lianping, looking at Bao Qijing and nodding, he was extremely satisfied with Bao Qijing's performance, from hesitation to determination to fear, Bao Qijing performed three psychological states.
Nguyen Van Hue is well-known in Vietnam and is regarded as a hero by countless Vietnamese people. After the outbreak of the war between China and Vietnam, Nguyen Van Hue led female agents to spy on the positions of the Chinese border guards and destroy important facilities, and succeeded repeatedly. But after a mission to China last year, she disappeared and never returned. According to the Vietnamese army's investigation, Nguyen Van Hue had been killed by our army. As for how she died, no one knows.
Xu Wangqiu went to ask the arrested female agent, and knew if Ruan Wenhui knew. The female agent heard Nguyen Van Hue say with a look of adoration that she was our hero. Yue Mei played by Bao Qijing is the same, treating Ruan Wenhui as a national hero and her idol.
Now hearing that Ruan Wenhui died at the hands of Yan Shuangying, Yuemei's first reaction was whether Yan Shuangying was lying to me? Was Ruan Wenhui really dying at his hands? After a short period of thought, she told herself that Yan Shuangying was deliberately scaring herself and wanted her to put down the submachine gun in her hand. She watched Yan Shuangying slowly walking towards her, she wanted to shoot, but she didn't dare to shoot. What if Ruan Wenhui really died at the hands of Yan Shuangying? He could even kill someone as powerful as Ruan Wenhui, wouldn't it be easy to kill herself? So, her whole person was swallowed up by fear.
At this moment, Zhou Lijin took advantage of Bao Qijing's stunned opportunity to step forward and grab the barrel of the gun with an arrow step, pushing the muzzle of the gun into the air. At this time, Bao Qijing was also anxious, regardless of the fact that 3721 pulled the trigger.
Da! Da! Da!
The gun went off, and there were bullets in the gun.
Bao Qijing almost fainted, and roared angrily: "You actually lied to me!"
Zhou Lijin easily snatched the submachine gun in Bao Qijing's hand, threw her to the ground, and said lightly: "I said you don't have any brains, you still don't believe it, I'm right now!"
Bao Qijing gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Lijin, the hatred in her eyes burning: "You are the most terrible person I have ever met." No wonder Nguyen Van Hue died at your hands. How did you find out who I really am?"
Zhou Lijin said lightly: "Agents are all professionally trained, and they must hold guns during training, and they must use guns proficiently, and those who hold guns for a long time will grind out special calluses on their fingers." I have to say that your acting skills are very good, the story is also well written, you dress yourself up as being raped and insulted by Vietnamese soldiers, I almost believe it, but the calluses on your hands betray you. He took out a pistol and pointed it at Bao Qijing, and said coldly: "I said that I would kill the person who shot at me, now you should go on the road." β
Bao Qijing was as pale as paper, her eyes flashed with horror, she got up from the ground, turned around and ran.
Xu Wangqiu watched Bao Qijing run away, and then shouted vigorously: "Okay! Stop! Everyone rest in place!"
After shouting to stop, Xu Wangqiu asked Zeng Lianping and Zhang Yimou about the photography. After receiving an affirmative answer, he asked about the recording. There are no problems with the recording. Xu Wangqiu immediately shouted: "Okay! This scene has passed! I announce that Comrade Bao Qijing's scenes are all finished!" After speaking, he smiled and applauded Bao Qijing.
The whole scene suddenly resounded with applause and cheers. This applause was sincere, without a hint of falsehood, and everyone was sincerely happy for Bao Qijing. A Xiangjiang actor, for the sake of China's film industry, came to southern Yunnan thousands of miles away, fearless of hardships and dangers, and worked tirelessly. What kind of spirit is this? This is the true spirit of patriotism!
Bao Qijing smiled at first, but soon her eyes turned red, and then she covered her face and squatted on the ground crying. Zhou Lijin and the others saw Bao Qijing crying, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only stand next to them. The makeup artist who is usually responsible for applying makeup to Bao Qijing is a woman in her thirties, and she has a very good relationship with Bao Qijing. When Bao Qijing heard the makeup artist's words of comfort, she hugged her and cried. The makeup artist saw Bao Qijing hugging herself and crying, her nose was sore, and she also cried.
Xu Wangqiu grabbed a loudspeaker and said loudly: "Comrades, in order to celebrate the completion of Comrade Bao Qijing's role, the crew has prepared a finale banquet tonight to make a trip for Comrade Bao Qijing! Now let's go back to the station first, and everyone will take a group photo together." Take two group photos first, and then take a photo with Comrade Bao Qijing, you can take a photo with her. Call it a day now!"
