Cao Bingkun looked at Zhang Ran in the crowd and said softly: "Today's scene is about Rabe returning to China, and on February 17th, Ms. Wei Tling held a farewell tea party for Rabe in the Science Building of Jinnu University. When the refugees found out, they rushed to meet Rabe in front of the Science Building and begged Rabe not to leave. After that, he added: "When the filming starts, everyone must be quiet and don't take pictures again, if it affects the shooting, then you won't have a chance to interview." ”

The reporters present all nodded slightly, it was not the first time they had visited the crew, and they all knew the rules of the crew.

A reporter saw Zhang Ran turn around and talk to a foreign actress in her fifties, and knew that this should be the actor of Wei Tling. The actress looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, so she asked, "Who is the actor who plays Ms. Weitling?" ”

Cao Bingkun was stunned, and then smiled: "That's Amy Adams!"

Hearing Amy Adams, the reporters let out a wow-wow, the cast of "Angel of Justice" is even bigger than expected.

Zhang Ran saw Cao Bingkun and the reporters, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after telling the actors, he returned to the command center and sat behind the monitor, waiting for the filming to start.

According to Rabe's diary, the refugees knew that Rabe was leaving, and there were two places where refugees knelt down and begged Rabe not to go, one was No. 1 Xiaofenqiao, where Rabe's family took in more than 600 refugees, and the other was more than 3,000 refugees from Jinnuda.

Zhang Ran chose to photograph the refugees of the Golden Girl, not only because there were many Golden Girls, and the scene seemed bigger and more shocking, but more importantly, the refugees of the Golden Girl were rescued by Wei Tling and Cheng Ruifang, and Rabe rarely came to the Golden Girl. Now that Rabe is leaving, so many people have come to ask him to stay, which can reflect Rabe's prestige and influence from the side.

Because of this, in 1948, when the citizens of Nanjing knew that Rabe's family was destitute and living in difficulty, they would quickly raise funds for Rabe and send money and food to Rabe every month.

After the tea party at the Golden Lady University, Rabe wrote in his diary: "Whoever had seen the misery of this place would have understood the meaning of the protection we have given to these poor people." Actually, all of this is a matter of course, and from our side, it has nothing to do with a certain heroic quality. ”

Zhang Ran felt that this passage was very well said, heroes are never born. Rabe was originally an ordinary person, he didn't want to be a hero, he also had shortcomings, and he would make mistakes, but when the darkness came, he didn't flinch and chose to stand up, so he became a hero. Rabe is like this, Weitling is like this, and so is Zhang Chunru.

Zhang Ran wrote Rabe's words into the movie and wrote them in this scene. When Cheng Ruifang takes Rabe out of the yard, she will say to Rabe, you are the real hero, and Rabe will say that.

The first assistant director came over and told Zhang Ran that the preparations had been made and the filming could officially start.

Zhang Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted the password.

In the monitor, Rabe followed Cheng Ruifang out of the science building, and Weitling and the others also came out.

The women and girls standing in front of the building fell to their knees, crying and begging, "Please don't go!

Rabe didn't expect so many people to kneel down for him, and he looked a little flustered. He walked up to the first row of the crowd and shouted, "Get up, please." ”

But no one stood up. Rabe bent down and spoke a few more words to them in English, but no one moved. Helpless, he bowed three times to the crowd, then straightened up and waved to everyone. A girl at the scene cried loudly, and then more people cried.

Rabe looked at a loss for what to do, and turned to Weitling, "What should I do?"

Weitling was also very surprised, she did not expect these women and girls to have such a deep affection for Rabe. She knew that Rabe didn't want to go, but she had to go, so she sighed slightly and said, "Let's talk to everyone about something." ”

"What can I say? I can't explain my departure. If only I could stay like you. Rabe was sad and helpless, he couldn't speak Chinese and didn't know what to say, so he could only turn to the crowd and bow deeply three times again. But the crowd still didn't get up, and the scene continued to cry. Rabe sighed and said, "I really don't know what to say, I'd better go." ”

Weitling sighed and shouted to the crowd, "Everybody, get up! Mr. Rabe is gone, but the others are still there, and we will continue to protect you. Get up, all of you!"

Cheng Ruifang knew that to the refugees, Rabe was like a patron saint, and the refugees were very scared when they heard that Rabe was leaving. She sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Rabe, I'll take you out." With that, Cheng Ruifang took Rabe and walked forward.

At this moment, Zhang Ran shouted "stop", and this shot ended here. Cheng Ruifang takes Rabe through the crowd, and the footage of the conversation after walking out of the school, needs to be filmed separately.

After shouting to stop, Zhang Ran first asked about the recording and photography, and then went to the special effects team to ask how the situation was. There were only three or four hundred people on the scene, but historically, more than 3,000 women and girls begged Rabe to stay, and it could only be done through special effects. Because it involves the issue of special effects, the effect of the special effects after synthesis must be considered, and whether it can be passed or not, the opinions of the special effects team must be consulted.

After the special effects team gave an affirmative answer, Zhang Ran got up and shouted: "This shot is over! That's all for this morning's shooting, and we'll continue in the afternoon." He added in English: "Ulrich, Amy, you two go to the central building, and we'll meet with the media and be interviewed by the media." ”

When Zhang Ran walked out of the tent and came to the central building, Tukel and Amy Adams were already waiting inside.

The crew set up more than 100 chairs in the lobby of the central building, which were for reporters, and in front of these chairs, there were three separate chairs, which were for Zhang Ran and the two leading actors.

Soon after Zhang Ran sat down, Cao Bingkun came to the scene with reporters. As soon as the reporters saw Zhang Ran, they rushed to Zhang Ran as if they had seen a fishy cat, and threw out questions like cannons. Seeing this, Cao Bingkun shouted loudly: "Everyone sit down, raise their hands to ask questions, and whoever does not follow the rules will be disqualified from asking questions." ”

As soon as Cao Bingkun said this, the reporters who were originally in a mess instantly sat down on their chairs. The reporters were sitting precariously, looking at Zhang Ran with anticipation, hoping to hit themselves and let themselves get up to ask questions, just like elementary school students hope that teachers will let them get up to answer questions.

Zhang Ran smiled at the reporters and said, "I won't introduce myself! Everyone should know each other." Let me introduce you to the two of them, this is the famous German actor Mr. Ulrich Tucker, and this is the famous Hollywood actress Ms. Amy Adams. As he spoke, he turned to Amy-Adams and said, "Amy, you should introduce yourself first!"

Adams smiled, "Hello everyone. I'm Amy Adams. Play Minnie Weitling in the movie. I am a fan of director Zhang Ran, and I am very happy to be able to participate in this film, and I am very grateful to him for giving me this role. I didn't know about Weitling before I took on this role. After reading "Weitling's Diary", I was deeply shocked, and at the same time, I was also very surprised, Weitling saved 10,000 people, she is a real hero, but her deeds are unknown in the United States. I think it is very meaningful to be able to bring Weitling to the screen and let more people know her deeds and feel her spirit. ”

After Adams briefly talked about his feelings, Turck also briefly talked about his feelings. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran announced that it was time for the media to ask questions, and he would ask questions about whom. Zhang Ran's eyes fell on a male reporter in his thirties, motioning for him to get up and ask questions.

The reporter who was hit by the point stood up and asked excitedly, "Director Zhang, hello." The content of the film record of the General Administration said that the movie is about how Zhang Chunru completed the book "Nanjing Massacre", so why did he shoot the story of Rabe and Weitling?"

Zhang Ran said slowly: "That's the case, we Chinese are very clear about the Nanjing Massacre, and we can understand why Zhang Chunru must write this book, and we can understand why she is so angry, but not many foreign audiences know about the Nanjing Massacre." If we shoot directly, foreign audiences may not be able to understand Zhang Chunru, nor may they understand Zhang Chunru's value. Only by presenting the relevant content of the Nanjing Massacre will they be able to better understand Zhang Chunru, and will they think about why the atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing will be forgotten in the West; they will think that the atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing will be forgotten, so what else cannot be forgotten and erased; and how much of the information we are exposed to today is true and how much is false?"

The second reporter got up and threw the question to Adams: "Hello Amy, I want to ask, is there any difference between you working with director Zhang Ran and other Hollywood directors?"

Adams thought for a moment and smiled: "It's no different, Director Zhang Ran is very professional, and the crew is also very professional." It's pretty much the same as when I made movies in Hollywood. Zhang Ran is one of the most sober directors I've ever met, no matter what the problem is in front of him, he never panics, and you never see him anxious. He is an acting teacher who has a very in-depth study of acting and knows how to explore the potential of actors and make them perform better. For the actor, it is a very happy thing to work with him. ”

Most of the questions raised by the reporters on the scene were relatively mild, but some of the questions raised by the reporters were thorny: "Director Zhang, netizens know that you have all kinds of discussions after making a movie about the Nanjing Massacre, and there are many people who support you, and they feel that you should make a movie like "Schindler's List", which has influence all over the world, so that the world knows about the atrocities of the Dongying people;

Zhang Ran said very seriously: "I didn't want to sprinkle salt on the wound when I made this movie, but I don't think there's anything wrong with sprinkling salt on the scar, we are sometimes too forgetful." Weitling said in her diary that Chinese are too kind and easy to forget bad things. Last year, I don't know if you've heard of an incident, a student in Taiwan openly declared that my Azu was willing to be a comfort woman. How much better is the situation in our hinterland? Isn't there an increasing number of people on the Internet who use the words "Zhina" and "Guizhi" to wash the floor of the Nanjing Massacre and 731? If we don't pick out the scars and don't sprinkle salt on the wounds, the scars will heal and forget the pain. We remember the Nanjing Massacre, but how many people still remember that more than 40 years ago in the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese army once massacred Chinese in Lushun. A lot of people have forgotten about it. So, there's nothing wrong with rubbing salt into the wound, and I even think that every once in a while, we should pick open the scar and let ourselves hurt so that we will never forget it. ”
