Chapter 307: One Country, One Nation!
At the beginning of the film, there was a picture of Japan being bombed and ravaged, which was really miserable, very miserable.
The horror of war was conveyed to the audience through historical lenses, and the overall tone of the film was set.
"On January 19, 1946, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was established......"
A line of white subtitles appears on the black screen, which is a very simple background introduction without a bit of fanciness, but with the majestic music, it gives people a strong sense of history.
“…… On March 20, 1946, appointed by the Nationalist Government, Judge Mei Rujiao flew to Tokyo ......"
"I finally saw what happened after the bombing of Yokohama and Tokyo...... a man's voice appeared calmly in the screening room, accompanied by calm music.
Quite simply, Japan was blown up to this ruin, and so, peace!
Well, this place is somewhat 'bad', but no matter how you look at this plot from that angle, you can't find fault with it, how to look at it and how harmonious......
“…… This cannot but hold the war criminals we are about to try responsible, who have disturbed the world, poisoned China, and ruined the future of their own country......"
Then the picture turns to color, giving the plot of the international justices taking the oath, and here, Mei Rujiao welcomes his first challenge.
The chairman of the panel of judges, William, is actually an Australian with a knighthood, and his name is William, but here he wants others to call him Guard, and everything feels equal. Very kind, though, when he mentioned the seats of the justices. That's what I said.
“…… USA, Great Britain, China, Soviet Union, Canada ......"
Justice Mei's face immediately turned bad, because this seat obviously had political implications, and you must know that Lu Dao was in the war against Japan. The British behaved in a way that even they themselves were ashamed of, and at the time of the surrender, our country, which had suffered from Japanese aggression, was in second place!
"I don't agree with this arrangement. Justice May in his calm voice. and fluent English to express their opinions.
"Dr. May, please. ”
"I think the order in which the Surrender of Japan is signed should be determined......
Justice May began to express his opinion, our country should be in second place, but. Webb doesn't think this order is important. This is true even for judges in other countries, which even caused laughter from other judges.
"So, what is the basis for this ranking?" said Justice May, who asked very cleverly.
What Wei Bo said is that this ranking is not important, so Mei Rujiao wants to know what the current ranking is based on? If it is not important, why is our country not in the first place?
It can be said that from this talk that seems to be a joke. can see the wisdom of Justice May. and the integrity of his whole person.
Lao Gao is indeed very good at shaping characters, and he deserves to be a well-known director.
In the next screen, Justice Mei also told a little joke, that is, if there is no basis, then the fairest plan for arranging seats is for all of us to weigh ourselves, and whoever is the heaviest and who is in front is the fairest.
It's obviously a joke, it's very unserious, but the question is, is the arrangement of this seat really as unimportant as Justice Weber said?
If it really doesn't matter, then everyone weighs themselves!
"Dr. May's proposal is very fair, but it only applies to boxing matches...... Obviously, Wei Bo knew the importance of this seat, and put the British in second place, which was completely the Yankees' cautious eyes.
In this little story, we should learn not to think that crooked nuts are very honest, and they will also change the law to fool people.
"If you don't decide the seats according to the way you weigh them, then I think you have to arrange them according to the order of signatures in the surrender document, which is what I think is the only fair way......
Jokes are jokes, and the position is very firm!
This dispute, although small, must have broken up unhappily.
Playing Mei Rujiao is Liu Songren, a veteran actor in Hong Kong, his acting skills are almost not picky, and his personal temperament is very, very in line with the role of Justice Mei.
In fact, this is not that Lao Gao will find actors, but many years ago, Lao Gao and Liu Songren met, and the two agreed to make a similar film.
How to say it, the connections in the entertainment industry are also extremely important, Wu Xiang is a guy to shoot, so it must be very difficult to find Liu Songren.
Then the plot develops, after an unhappy breakup, Justice May takes the car back to his residence, but on the way they meet two Japanese drunkards, these two guys are very interesting, not to mention provocation, but instead they die.
“…… We were defeated by the Americans, and people from other countries got out of the way!" These are the last words of the two drunkards, and the style is very close to the current statements on the Japanese Internet, so to speak, they have not changed much in the past few decades.
Japan is a defeated country, and then there is the identity of Justice Mei, yes, the driver is with a gun, but a new character has appeared here, that is, Xiao Nan played by Huang Xiaoming!
"Wow, that's handsome!"
"I'm just waiting for Brother Xiaoming!"
I have to say that the strength of female fans is still very strong.
Brother Xiao Ming is on fire, and now it's really hot!
"The Condor Heroes", which was popular on the screen before, then "The Loveliest Man", and then "Night Banquet" immediately, and then this "Tokyo Trial"!
Four heavyweight productions, blockbusters, and hot dramas in a row, anyone can be popular on anyone, not to mention Brother Xiao Ming, who has a very good appearance.
Soon, the next plot came to the rehearsal ceremony before the trial, and here, Justice May was still ranked after England!
"USA, Great Britain, China, USSR...... Canada, France, Australia, Netherlands. India ......"
With a bang, Justice Mei closed his information and didn't look back. Walk briskly out of the room.
There is heavy music here, which makes every action of Justice Mei seem to be heavier than a thousand pounds, which makes the audience deeply shocked.
It's just ordinary action, just ordinary personal behavior, there is no big scene, there is no rain of bullets. But it makes people feel that kind of pressure, that suffocating sense of national discrimination, and Mei Ruxuan's ordinary behavior. But it gives people a powerful shock, this is a representative of a nation, silently, issued a struggle!
That's what Hollywood blockbusters do. Proper commercial film techniques. Seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, listening to the thunder in the calm is this feeling. It should be said that Lao Gao has a good grasp, and he is really very well prepared for this movie.
"Dr. May, please listen to my explanation. "Wei Bo has to give Judge Mei face, after all, we are all victorious countries.
"The judges in the United States and the judges in the United Kingdom sat on my right and left hands, because they were more familiar with the common law system, which helped the trial......"
I have to say. Weber was a very good lobbyist, and the common law system became his shield. But......
"With all due respect, we all know that this is an international tribunal, not an Anglo-American tribunal......"
That's right, no matter how awesome your common law system is, it has to be in line with international standards, right?
However, the old guard was also a master of debate, "Dr. May, you have to think about it from another angle, sitting next to you is a French judge and an English judge, which is better than you sitting next to a Soviet general, you will feel very happy......"
It seems that the old guards know everything.
"This is an insult to me! As a Chinese, I must solemnly say that I did not come to Tokyo for pleasure! My motherland! China has suffered from Japanese aggression for 50 years! For Chinese, trying Japanese war criminals is a serious and heavy task! I am not here for pleasure......
This paragraph, like a hammer, hit the hearts of the audience deeply, and the mood of watching the handsome guy before was wiped out!
Then, Lao Wei did not give up, and he issued the supreme commander of the Allied forces, as well as Sino-American relations.
“…… If Dr. May, you don't accept such an arrangement, Sino-US relations may fall into an unpleasant ......"
"I refuse to accept this unreasonable arrangement!" Justice May spoke with reasonable grounds, first emphasizing that you are unreasonable and that our fault is not ours, and then he said: "In the war of aggression against Japan, China suffered the deepest invasion, fought the war of resistance for the longest time, and sacrificed the most, while Britain only tolerated and surrendered! Again and again! We, China, absolutely do not accept being ranked behind Britain......
Loud and reasonable, Justice May is neither humble nor arrogant, which leaves a deep impression on people.
Wei Bo said that he couldn't do it, so he had to think of other ways, but Justice May recognized it, and he had to be ahead of England.
Everyone was waiting, and so were the international journalists, and Justice May remained unmoved.
Lao Wei came again, and he said that the other judges felt that today was just a dress rehearsal and there was no need to pay so much attention.
But Justice Mei was unmoved, he insisted on his principles, because this rehearsal will be photographed, it will be recorded, this is a humiliation, humiliation of all Chinese!
Lao Wei was defeated by Justice Mei's insistence, and he went back again to find a way.
"Dr. May, you won! Your country should be proud to have a fighter like you. ”
"Old guard, I'm not a fighter, I'm just a judge. ”
Finally, the third meeting between the two people, Lao Wei brought good news, Justice May was ranked after the United States and before the United Kingdom!
Crooked nuts are stubborn, so if you want to defeat them, you have to be even more stubborn than them. When all the judges came out and the reporters took pictures. Who knows how much effort and hardship it has taken to complete this step forward for this seat, a judge, and a nation? !
In this scene, Lao Gao handled it very perfectly, and several details of Justice Mei were arranged very cleverly, including that he was waiting for Wei Bo's news, and the cigarette was lit in his hand but he didn't smoke it, which completely shows Mei Rujiao's mentality at that time.
Although he must adhere to his own principles, Mei Ruxuan knew that he could not go, he had to stay and fight, yes, in fact, his capital was not much, he could only rely on his own persistence, and that's it.
Yes, Wu Xiang didn't mix with it at all, except for joining Huang Xiaoming, there was nothing else for him to do, because even if he came to shoot, he would definitely not surpass Lao Gao.
So, is this guy Wu Xiang obediently a producer this time and doesn't interfere in anything? (To be continued......)
