The length of "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang" is longer than that of ordinary movies, and the average movie is about 90 minutes, but the length of the feature film of "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang" reaches 113 minutes, plus the beginning and end credits, the total length of the film is just two hours.

The theater, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people, is full of guests from all walks of life, and a huge movie screen hangs on the stage in front of it. The audience was silent, few people exchanged heads, and no one got up and walked around or left early. Everyone seems to be immersed in the movie, and in the huge viewing hall, only the fierce gunfight in the film is endless!

This "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" completely reproduces the development of the entire Taierzhuang Battle from the Lin-Yi Defense Battle, the Teng-County Defense Battle, the repeated battle of Tai-Erzhuang, and then the final counteroffensive.

In order to make the quality of the film excellent, the production team has spent a lot of energy to restore historical facts in all aspects, such as weapons, military uniforms and other props are meticulously prepared. At that time, the equipment of the Chinese army was not uniform, for example, many miscellaneous army units used Hanyang-made rifles, while the Central Army had basically changed to Chinese formal rifles.

Another example is the helmet used by the Central Army's descendants, which is a German-style M35 steel helmet. Most of the miscellaneous troops did not have steel helmets, and a few well-equipped miscellaneous troops, such as General Zhang Zizhong's troops, used British-style "Tony" helmets. The production team has even taken these small details into account.

And most of the shots in the whole movie were shot on location in Tai-Erzhuang. This kind of magnificent and atmospheric realistic scene is by no means comparable to the set board in the movie studio. Of course, this is also because of the Tai-Erzhuang in the eighties. There hasn't been much change from forty years ago. If it takes another ten years, wait until the high-rise buildings are up. It will be difficult for the crew to find these old scenes again.

In order to pursue the real effect of war, dozens of tons of military explosives were used throughout the movie. The military even sent more than 1,000 soldiers from the PLA to assist in the filming. The white-knuckle fighting actions of real knives and guns in the picture are by no means comparable to those anti-Japanese war dramas decades later.

He Qing's seat was arranged in the corner of the back row, and she stared intently at the movie screen all the time. While watching the plot, I am also looking forward to my figure appearing on the screen.

And five minutes before the movie started, the character of the progressive female student she played appeared in the camera, leading a group of classmates on the street to raise funds for the anti-Japanese war.

He Qing immediately grabbed the hand of his friend Liu Jialing next to him excitedly, and his face could not hide his excitement and excitement. This is her second film, in fact, compared to her previous debut film "Shaolin Lay Disciple", He Qing's role in this "Blood Battle Taierzhuang" is pitiful.

After chatting about dozens of seconds of footage. When He Qing appeared for the second time, the movie was already halfway through. The female student she played has resolutely taken off her student uniform and turned into a female captain who led her fellow villagers to brave the rain of bullets and send hot white-faced steamed buns to the front-line soldiers.

And when He Qing appeared on the screen for the last time, his identity changed again. At the height of the battle for the defense of Tai-Erzhuang, she still stayed on the front line and refused to evacuate, so she put on a military uniform and became a female medical nurse who comforted the wounded with tenderness.

He Qing's character is actually one of the few fictional characters in this historical realistic war film. All of her scenes add up, in fact, it is only two or three minutes. But she is almost the only female character in the film who has a separate shot.

Although there are few scenes of He Qing, the director, through her role as a schoolgirl, actually represents the indomitable spirit of countless Chinese sons and daughters who have the courage to destroy their families and relieve difficulties and resist Japan to save the country at the moment of national crisis!

Liu Jialing secretly glanced at her friend next to her with some envy. Although the role played by He Qing has few scenes, there is no lack of heroism in the tenderness, which is a bright spot in the whole movie. If it weren't for the fact that there were more scenes. Carina Lau believes she even has a chance to be nominated for supporting actress at next year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

You must know that this is the largest investment film in Hong Kong's history, and it is not a purely commercial film. Although war scenes have always been a niche genre in Hong Kong films. But just with the film's pre-emptive promotional momentum, as well as well-made content. Liu Jialing felt that "Blood Battle Taierzhuang" must have a great future at next year's Academy Awards.

Thinking that He Qing is likely to pass by the Academy Awards because of the problem of the role, Liu Jialing is a little happy, but also feels a little sorry for her friends!

Of course, for many other dignitaries who were present to watch the film, things like the Academy Awards were simply not in their eyes. President Tan of the China Hostel turned his head and glanced at the Hong Kong branch chief of the Central News Agency next to him, and the other party also happened to look over. When their eyes met, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The Central News Agency is the official news agency of the Taiwan-Gulf authorities, and the Hong Kong bureau chief and the Hong Kong branch of the China Travel Service are one of the two most important pairs of eyes of the Kuomintang in Hong Kong.

Just now they saw such a plot in the movie, after General Wang Mingzhang, who guarded Teng County, was martyred, President Lao Jiang personally flew to Taierzhuang to preside over the public memorial ceremony. This was an air raid by Japanese planes, and President Chiang continued to speak calmly and calmly in the face of danger.

This is a positive image that has never appeared in the propaganda of President Lao Chiang in mainland films. According to President Tan's understanding, this "Blood Battle in Taierzhuang" is ready for large-scale release in the mainland. Both he and President Xie of the Central News Agency were keenly aware of the different meanings, and the mainland seemed to have begun to adjust its policy and recognize the role of the Kuomintang in the War of Resistance Against Japan!

This movie "Blood Battle in Taierzhuang" is indeed the first domestic film to depict a frontal battlefield. And when the film editing is completed, the standard of the film review meeting arranged by the relevant domestic parties is also unusually high. The secretary of the Central Secretariat, a member of the Political and Political Affairs Bureau and the secretary of the Central Secretariat, who is in charge of ideological and ideological work, is the head of the film review team, and the director of the Central United Front War Department serves as the deputy head of the review group, and the director of the Film Bureau and others conduct the review of the film.

In fact, as early as when the script was written, there were some differences between Asian Entertainment and the two domestic studios of Guixi and Bayi. Asian Entertainment is preparing to screen this film in the Taiwan-Gulf market, so it naturally hopes that the image of the national army is as positive as possible.

However, the domestic production team is relatively conservative because of ideological reasons, after all, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are still hostile. Therefore, after many consultations, the two sides finally decided to release two versions with different scales, respectively in China and overseas.

However, the review team directly rejected this approach, and after watching these two films, they directly decided to use a larger-scale version that was originally exclusively for overseas. Therefore, the final release version of this China-Hong Kong co-production of "Bloody Battle in Taierzhuang" is very different from the image of the national army that has been promoted in China before.

In the consistent propaganda of our party, the Central Army always took the opportunity of the War of Resistance to eliminate miscellaneous cards, and hid behind itself to preserve its strength and passively resist Japan. For example, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo, because the rescue was not urgent, led to the death of General Wang Ming-Zhang, who was defending Teng County, and has always been given the notoriety of "not saving the general when he sees death".

But in fact, the 20th Army of the Central Army, which was commanded by Tang Enbo, performed remarkably well in the entire Battle of Taierzhuang. He did not disobey the command, preserve his strength, and avoid the enemy, as Li Zong-in wrote in his memoirs.

According to later battle records, after receiving an order from the Fifth Theater Command to rush to the aid of Teng County, Tang Enbo immediately sent the 4th Division to reinforce it. However, because the 4th Division encountered the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army in the middle, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, so it failed to reach Tengxian in time.

In another time and space, "The Great Victory of Taierzhuang", many of the contents are based on the records in Li Zong-ren's memoirs. But now because of the addition of Hong Kong Asian Entertainment Company, the image of the national army in the movie is even more magnificent. In the end, the review team chose a larger-scale version, which can be said to show the broad-mindedness of the Communist Party to take a step back.

Li Xuan looked at the two people next to him who had been making eye contact, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile. The "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" in another time and space directly made the two sides of the Taiwan Strait begin to break the ice. And now that he sees the eye contact between these two people, he is more confident in the more well-made and political-political "Blood Battle Taierzhuang" in front of him.

The reason why Li Xuan is so concerned about cross-strait relations is, on the one hand, because of his deep patriotism, and on the other hand, it is also to facilitate the consideration of the future layout of the Eastern Bloc. The mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan-Gulf are the three support points for Li Xuan to build the foundation of Asia, and only when the Taiwan Strait realizes free personnel exchanges as soon as possible, can the triangular structure built by the Eastern Bloc be truly stabilized.

Just when Li Xuan was full of thoughts, there was a sudden crying sound in the viewing hall, which made him come over all of a sudden. The film has come to an end, and the advancing Japanese 10th Division has been severely damaged by the internal and external attacks of the Chinese army.

The Battle of Taierzhuang achieved an unprecedented victory in destroying more than 20,000 enemies. At the end of the film, the director does not use a celebratory scene of gongs and drums to praise the victory, but uses a long shot of four or five minutes, accompanied by the loop of the prelude to the "March of the Volunteers", the ruined city walls, the city head, the waterside under the city walls, the wreckage of tanks, the fire is burning, and the smoke is filling.

More than 700 extras played the corpses, among which the gray uniforms of the Chinese army and the yellow uniforms of the Japanese army were indistinguishable at all, from the city wall to the head of the city, a mutilated blue sky and white sun flag, fluttering at the highest point of the city......

In such a tragic picture, several veterans of the Anti-Japanese War who were specially invited to watch the movie in the front row couldn't help but cry. Perhaps at this moment, they thought of their comrades-in-arms who had long since fallen and turned into dust!

One person, two people, more and more spectators at the scene, involuntarily stood up and applauded. When the words "the whole play is over" finally appeared on the screen, the entire stage was already thunderous applause. These continuous applause are paying tribute to the martyrs who threw their heads and shed their blood for national independence, and they are immortal! (To be continued......
