451 [Historical Advisor Dr. Ma]
(PS: Say I'm carrying private goods, then I'll have a whole chapter of private goods.) As for "Grave of the Fireflies", I don't bother to explain, some people have to think that it is okay to be an anti-war film, and the director of that film has admitted that it is not anti-war. )
Jiang Wen was busy all night, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. He locked the film, drove Song Weiyang and Ma Wei to a breakfast shop, and chatted with the two while eating.
"It's no problem to shoot commercials, it's a matter of one sentence," Jiang Wen said while chewing on a big bun, "The advertising fee of 500,000 yuan is enough." ”
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "It's an advertising endorsement, and sometimes I have to attend commercial events. ”
Jiang Wenhao said coolly: "It's okay, when you do the activity, let me know in advance." ”
"I won't say anything thankful," Song Weiyang took out his business card and said, "If you need help in the future, call me directly." ”
"Happy," Jiang Wen casually put his business card in his pocket, and said, "You said that I was suspected of beautifying the Japanese army, then you really didn't understand my movie." I put both China and Japan on the same level, showing the humanity of the special environment. This film does not talk about history, nor about war, but only about human nature. ”
Song Weiyang said: "But in special circumstances, some people are no longer human. ”
"No," Jiang Wen waved his hand, "Human nature exists at all times, but it is hidden by something. is like Hanaya Kozaburo in the film. At the beginning, he was bent on death, which was against human nature, the result of war brainwashing, and later greedy for life and fear of death and revenge, that is the real human nature. ”
"Agreed," Song Weiyang nodded and said, "But what I said about glorifying the Japanese army is that this film happened at the wrong time and place." If you put it between 1940 and 1943, I am convinced, but 1944 is very problematic. ”
Jiang Wen nibbled on the bun and said, "You go on." ”
Song Weiyang said: "The 'goodwill' is shown at the beginning of the movie, and the location takes place in North China, which really exists. In order to rule for a long time, the Japanese army even set up rural cooperatives in North China, providing low-interest loans to farmers to buy seeds and fertilizers, and helping farmers build water projects. According to the policy of the Japanese army, farmers in North China could apply for 'well loans' from cooperatives even to dig wells. ”
"And this kind of thing?" Ma Wei was very surprised.
Jiang Wen smiled: "I'm afraid the farmers won't be able to get the money." ”
Song Weiyang said: "Yes, the peasants don't see a penny, and the money is directly embezzled by the puppet government, the puppet army, and the Xinmin Association, and even the grassroots security chiefs have no chance to deduct it." In addition, peasants must pay a membership fee of 3 yuan to join the cooperatives, and when there are many disasters in North China, where can the peasants still be able to get the money? In other words, the so-called goodwill policy of the Japanese army has become a weapon for the remnants of the puppet government. ”
Jiang Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Black humor." ”
"The Japanese army's friendly policy is actually aimed at plundering war resources," Song Weiyang said, "and they want the Chinese peasants to have more grain and cotton, and they do not hesitate to help the peasants build water conservancy for this purpose." As soon as the harvest season of grain and cotton arrives, the nature is immediately revealed, and these crops must be harvested and purchased, no different from outright robbery. If the peasants dare to resist taxes and levies, the Japanese puppet army will do all kinds of evil when they enter the village. ”
Jiang Wendao: "This doesn't conflict with my movie, right?"
Song Weiyang said: "What I just said is the policy of the Japanese army before 1944, and the Japanese army can still hold out at that time. In 1944, Stilwell, regardless of the situation of China's Anti-Japanese War, forcibly transferred the materials used in the country to counterattack Burma, resulting in the rout of the national army in Henan, Hunan and Gui. The same was true of the Japanese army, although it won the Battle of Henan-Xianggui, but it drained the troops and supplies of North China. The larger the territory occupied by the Japanese army in Yuxianggui, the more troops and materials were needed. I used the analogy of doing business, at that time, the Japanese army was equivalent to transferring all the working capital to invest in the fixed assets of the new company, and directly fell into business difficulties, and it was not far from bankruptcy and bankruptcy. ”
What a parable this is...... Image. Ma Wei said with a smile.
Song Weiyang said: "The movie "The Devil is Coming" takes place in North China during this period, and the actual situation is that the Japanese army has no troops to go to the countryside, so it can only defend various key points, and it has to rely on the puppet army to collect grain or something. Under these circumstances, the Japanese army in North China had already torn off all camouflage, did not bother to shout goodwill slogans at all, and no longer provided agricultural loans. Even in the 'model village' in North China, it is impossible for the Japanese army to distribute candy to children, first, they are too lazy to make a show, and second, the Japanese army itself does not have enough supplies. In addition, with the spiritual outlook and sophisticated equipment of the Japanese army in the film, it could not be the local garrison army in North China in 1944, and it could only appear on the northeast border or in the Henan-Xianggui region, because the Japanese army in North China at that time already belonged to the Huazi army. Do you know what the hard currency in North China was in 1944?"
"Opium. Jiang Wendao.
Song Weiyang said: "Opium has always been hard currency, but there must always be currency. ”
"Fiat currency?" Ma Wei asked.
Song Weiyang shook his head and said: "In North China in 1944, the legal tender issued by the Guotong Region and the counterfeit currency issued by Wang Pseudo were all waste paper, and the real hard currency was the border area ticket issued by our army, and even the garrison Japanese army was using the border area ticket of the Eighth Road to buy supplies. ”
"This can't be, right?" Ma Wei couldn't believe it.
"How is it impossible?" said Song Weiyang, "all the supplies in North China have been taken to the battlefield of Henan, Hunan and Guizhou, and the Japanese troops stationed in various places cannot get any logistical supplies, so they can only collect them on the spot." On the contrary, the Eighth Route was organizing production and self-reliance, and the grain, cotton, cooking oil, and other materials needed by the garrison of the Japanese army all had to be purchased from the Eighth Route side, and the Eighth Route only recognized its own border area tickets. As a result, the Eighth Route could take the border area ticket and buy medicine and arms from the Japanese, and the guerrillas would become a field army. ”
Ma Weidu asked: "Japan still sells arms to the Eighth Road?"
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "I'm hungry, in addition to artillery, tanks and planes, the Japanese army even sells heavy machine guns and mortars." Anyway, they only defended the strongholds, and all other places were abandoned, and the Eighth Route could not capture the cities and pillboxes even if they bought machine guns. By this time, the Eighth Route Guerrilla Army had begun to become a field army, and the Japanese army had changed from a field army to a defensive force. Think about it, the Japanese army couldn't grab any grain, how miserable should the peasants in North China be at that time? The Chinese peasants in this film were too well fed and dressed. And the Japanese army was too disciplined, if they had candy, they would eat it themselves, and they would give it to Chinese children? In North China in 1944, without Sino-Japanese goodwill, they were too lazy to make a show, or they didn't have the funds and materials to make a show. At that time, the puppet army and the puppet government in North China did not take the Japanese army seriously, and only wanted to have enough to eat, so how could they be idle and propagate goodwill? Of course, there was goodwill, and it was real goodwill, for example, the Japanese army sincerely asked the peasants for advice on how to weave straw sandals, and they were so poor that they had no shoes to wear. So, I was very awkward when I watched this movie because there was a problem with the setting of the story. ”
"You are a bone in the egg," Ma Wei said with a smile, "You can't watch the movie like this, otherwise it's all fake, and you won't be happy to find yourself." ”
Song Weiyang nodded and said: "I'm really nitpicking, "The Devil is Coming" is a good film." ”
Jiang Wen scratched his scalp and said depressedly: "I'm discouraged by what you said." ”
Ma Weidu said: "The next time Lao Jiang makes a movie during the Anti-Japanese War, he will simply ask Boss Song to be a historical consultant." ”
"Hahaha!" Song Weiyang laughed.
