Chapter 98: Filming Done
When Tian Han realized the incompetence of the government of the Republic of China and realized that he had a powerful weapon that could contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance, he decided to turn his drama into a spear and dagger to do more propaganda, so he wrote "Children of Wind and Rain".
This involved other people, including reporter Mei Ning, and Mei Xiang, who returned from Nanyang, and the Northeast Student Union became an important performance venue for the drama, but when his drama was performed at the venue, the Songhu War broke out.
The heroic scenes of the Songhu War let Tian Han know that his drama could not fully express this effect, Xia Yan proposed that it should be filmed into a movie, so he went to the front line with Nie Er, Mei Xiang and photographer Wu Yin and became war correspondents.
The danger of the battlefield is everywhere, nine deaths, the battlefield is a cruel hell, Bai Jinchuan, the commander of the 32nd Regiment of the 19th Route Army, saved Tian Han's son, Tian Han met him on the battlefield, respectively, Bai Jinchuan also died on the battlefield.
As the war progressed, the battlefield became more tragic, a group of four people filmed a team, first the photographer was injured, and then Mei Xiang almost died, only Tian Han and Nie Er were left to insist, they wanted to record these heroic battles, make a movie, and encourage everyone to resist Japan.
Battlefield scenes are not easy to film, especially scenes with explosion scenes, which have extremely high requirements for the actors' positioning, expression, and concentration, and it took more than half a month to shoot all the shots.
Because the Republic of China government signed an armistice agreement with the Dongying government, the war ended temporarily, but for the people who were destroyed by the Dongying people, the despair in their hearts was difficult to express, and the veterans from the northeast were unwilling to evacuate after the armistice.
In the ruins of the battlefield, Zhou Bai was full of grief and indignation, and in the pile of corpses, the two spies who had followed him before were also among them, they both sacrificed to resist the Japanese, watching the two corpses being carried away, Zhou Bai's expression was complicated, I am afraid they didn't know, in the end, all they got was a disappointing armistice agreement.
Zhou Bai was gloomy, sad and angry, and tired, like a ghost on the battlefield, standing there, Chen Kun lowered his head and walked over from behind.
Zhou Bai glanced at Chen Kun, and then said in a disappointed tone: "Yesterday, this was still fighting with the Japanese invaders, but today there is nothing. ”
He had too much sorrow, disappointment to despair, and infinite sadness from him.
This kind of emotional explosiveness, an ordinary dynamite, almost blew Chen Kun over, but fortunately, he has now integrated into the role and taken over.
"I really didn't expect that the vigorous battle to defend the demon capital would end like this. Chen Kun's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his sockets, and his nose was sour.
Zhou Bai sighed deeply, a trace of thought flashed on his face, at this time, all his previous illusions were broken.
This kind of delicate expression, even Wu Ziniu, who was directing the drama next to him, almost couldn't help but applaud.
"I came to Modu in order to learn music, and I thought I could make a difference in this passionate big tense. After the 918 Incident, I almost gave up the music I loved, and went to acting, playing tricks, doing chores, doing everything, all for the sake of the Anti-Japanese War. I was so excited to be in that state of excitement, but this great resistance mobilized by the whole people turned into surrender, boss, is the blood of the Chinese shed in vain?" Chen Kun said with too much emotion and disappointment.
Zhou Bai looked at Chen Kun with a disappointed and painful expression: "We have too much suffering in China, we must face it bravely." ”
"We have worked hard and acted in so many plays, but what is the result?" Chen Kun said sadly.
Zhou Bai raised his head and looked ahead, his expression became firm: "It's not enough to have a drama, there must be a song." ”
"Have songs. Chen Kun and Zhou Bai finally said the same sentence.
Zhou Bai patted Chen Kun's shoulder with relief: "Nie Er, music is your specialty, songs can be sung anytime and anywhere, it can be quickly popularized, and he can gather passionate emotions like a tide." Zhou Bai's voice was firm and excited, as if he had found a new world.
"We create fighting songs. Chen Kun also became excited.
"Let the Chinese bring up passionate songs. Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and said.
"You write the lyrics, let me compose the music. Chen Kun said.
Zhou Bai looked at Chen Kun and didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder hard.
"Okay, this is perfect, it's over!" Wu Ziniu shouted, making Chen Kun breathe a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, the pressure of playing against Zhou Bai was too great, and if he didn't do his best, he would really be crushed into slag.
Zhou Bai was still immersed in emotions and silent, and as the filming progressed, he was almost indistinguishable.
……
Tian Han's heart changed again, he found a new way, found a reason worth continuing to fight, to fight for the fate of the country and the nation.
The Northeast Student Union Hall became the oath place of the volunteers, Qi Baishan and his lover Lin Xueli decided to go back to the Northeast to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, Tian Han proposed to hold a wedding for them, Qi Baishan refused, he wanted to fight for the motherland, hoping to wait until the Northeast was recovered to hold their wedding.
Everyone took to the streets, and the exiled students held up the banner of the "Northeast Student Volunteer Army" and went to the Northeast to fight for their motherland and hometown.
Tian Han wrote many anti-Japanese scripts, which were well received by everyone, and the songs he made for the film also spread throughout China, boosting the morale of the anti-Japanese fighters across the country.
"Children of the Storm" decided to continue filming and make it into a war movie, and the theme song of the movie became Tian Han's thing, and he wanted to make an excellent song, a battle song.
But making a movie is not an easy task, especially when they decided to go to the Great Wall to shoot, in order to shoot a suitable movie shot, they shot close to the enemy-occupied area, and during the shooting, Mei Xiang, this elf-like girl, died under the plane of the Japanese invaders.
"I'm sorry I didn't take good care of her. Zhou Bai walked up to Zhang Hong, tears flowed down, full of self-blame and sadness, this was in Mei Xiang's funeral.
Zhang Hong choked and held Zhou Bai's hand, and the two were silently sad.
"I've been transferred back to Jinling, and I'm going to rush back early tomorrow morning, this is today's Times, you see. After the two walked aside, Zhang Hong took out a newspaper from his bag and handed it to Zhou Bai, sad and sad.
Zhou Bai took the newspaper over, saw a picture of a broken volunteer flag from the picture of the newspaper, and said in disbelief: "Qi Baishan?"
Qi Baishan died, he and his lover Lin Xueli and the college student volunteers died under the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese invaders, and those brave young people died on the battlefield.
In the empty Northeast Student Hall, he sat all night, and then wrote a lyric full of grief and indignation: "March of the Volunteers".
The lyrics were handed over to Nie Er, and he completed the composition, which became the theme song of the movie "Children of the Storm", and also spread throughout China, which was later our national anthem.
Tian Han was arrested, and in prison, he popularized knowledge and propaganda to the people in prison, and still did not forget the anti-Japanese war.
When Nie Er rocked the boat and played the "March of the Volunteers" outside the prison with a loudspeaker, Tian Han burst into tears, he knew that his work was finished, this is a sharp bayonet, which will inspire the people of the Anti-Japanese War to victory.
At the end of the prison filming, Zhou Bai was officially finished, and after three months of filming, he finally completed his film performance.
The harvest in these three months is huge, Zhou Bai has caused a transformation, and now he has been greatly improved in his acting skills.
The filming was over, Zhou Bai was very reluctant and glad that he got a baptism.
After the finale banquet, he reluctantly left the crew and returned to the capital.
