Although the media was stopped outside the base by security guards and failed to take pictures of the opening ceremony, almost all domestic media still reported the opening ceremony of "Angel of Justice" in the form of front-page headlines.

In order to make a new film, Zhang Ran invested hundreds of millions of yuan to cultivate a film and television base covering an area of nearly 4 square kilometers. Today's opening ceremony also made the Nanjing media pour out their nests, but they were completely empty. In order to be able to shoot "Angel of Justice", some of their peers braved the cold weather and slipped into the base, but the cunning Zhang Ran strictly guarded against it. ”

Zhang Ran has always been flamboyant in making movies, but this time he filmed "Angel of Justice" to play a low-key and mysterious, and a lot of confidentiality agreements were signed to prevent the shooting scenes and actors from being exposed by the media. Today's boot-up ceremony held a simple boot-up ceremony, announcing the official start-up and refusing any media interviews. ”

"The crew's defenses are all aimed at reporters, and there are no taboos for other staff. A young female reporter tried her best to talk to the staff, saying that she was a fan of Zhang Ran, and her family lived nearby, and when she heard that Zhang Ran was coming, she wanted to go in to see her idol, and a security guard was very enthusiastic to lead the reporter in. The location is good, you can see the panorama, but there is no way to take pictures, you can only use your mobile phone, pretending to be on the phone, but in fact, you are secretly shooting. That's it, and it was quickly recognized, and the reporter was immediately kicked out. ”

In fact, Zhang Ran chose to start the film in a low-key manner this time, not because he wanted to remain mysterious, but because the content involved in this movie was too serious, he didn't want to leave the impression of hype, and movies like "Angel of Justice" really shouldn't be hyped, otherwise it would be easy to be labeled as a consumer martyr. Therefore, Zhang Ran put forward clear requirements for the crew and the staff of the base, and they must do a good job of confidentiality.

However, a few days later, when the crew filmed a scene where Rabe persuaded Chinese soldiers who wanted to flee into the refugee camp to lay down their arms, they were still secretly filmed by the paparazzi. Tukel wore a safety zone sign and a photo of his conversation with the soldier quickly made the front page of many domestic media, with the headline almost always "Zhang Ran's new film, the actor exposed".

Tukel has acted in "Rabe's Diary", and the photos exposed this time are almost the same as his appearance in the movie "Rabe's Diary". This aroused the curiosity of the media and many fans, didn't the General Administration record announcement say how to shoot Zhang Chunru to write the book "Nanjing Massacre", why did Rabe come out?

Zhang Ran was very surprised when he saw the secretly photographed photos, the security work of the show can be said to be strictly guarded, but he didn't expect it to be exposed. Zhang Ran took a closer look at the shooting angle of the photo, and felt that it was taken secretly from the church in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", so he asked people to check. As a result, the staff went up and found cans and discarded military coats, and they should have squatted upstairs for three or four days before waiting for the opportunity to take cans. Zhang Ran didn't know what to say, these paparazzi were really hard.

However, the exposure of the actors and actors' styling is not a big deal for the drama "Angel of Justice", nor does it have any impact. The filming work of the crew progressed in an orderly manner, and the whole filming work went very smoothly.

This morning, Zhang Ran came to the set early. At this time, the extras had already put on their makeup and were waiting there, and the crew was also doing their work in an orderly manner.

Today's scene is the scene of Rabe and his family driving through the city, seeing the people killed by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army systematically looting the shops along the street, and this scene is based on the account of "Rabe's Diary" on December 14.

Zhang Ran was not particularly satisfied with many films involving the Nanjing Massacre, including "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Nanjing Nanjing", and he felt that these films had problems with their portrayal of Dongying soldiers. Take "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" as an example, after the Dongying soldiers entered the church, they only searched, but they did not loot the church, and did not take the things of the church, which seems a bit false.

After entering the city of Nanjing, the real Dongying soldiers completely regarded the entire city as a trophy and carried out a frenzied ransack. Such robberies were not carried out by the individual acts of the soldiers, but were carried out in an organized manner. Before entering the city of Nanjing, the Japanese army issued an order to the soldiers to "collect on the spot", to put it bluntly, let the soldiers rob. After entering Nanjing, every place in the city that could be looted was basically "washed" like a "wash," and some houses were even "visited" six or seven times a day. Dr. Bates wrote in his memoirs that the soldiers had robbed the refugees of what little they had in the houses they had placed in the security zone, and even the remaining 1 yuan could not escape the hands of the intruders.

On December 27 and 30, Spering and Gao Yu, a police officer at the Dongying Consulate, inspected 40 German houses in a car and found that most of them had been looted by the Japanese army. Sperling's own home was also looted, wooden and leather boxes were forcibly opened, and clothing and daily necessities were stolen. Rabe's house was also robbed several times. Once, a few Dongying soldiers wanted to drive away Rabe's car, but Han Xianglin couldn't stop it, so he said that you can drive the car away, but you have to leave a note. A few Dongying soldiers wrote a note: "Thank you for the gift! ”

Today's scene is a long shot, and a large number of extras will be used. In order to shoot this long shot, the crew has done a day of rehearsals yesterday, and the cooperation between the actors has been very tacit.

In order to ensure that the filming could be completed smoothly, after the preparation of each group was completed, Zhang Ran asked the actors to practice twice, and it was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that the filming of the film officially began.

As Zhang Ran's "start" command sounded, a black car slowly walked along the street. The car looks weird, with a large silver device on the roof that makes the whole car look a bit like a Transformer. There were five people in the car, so space was limited, so it was difficult to shoot with a normal camera setup. As a result, the special effects team modified the car and developed a new filming system for the filming of this scene.

In the monitor, the camera moves slowly along the street, which is filled with all kinds of abandoned debris, and every 100 meters you drive will encounter several corpses. The corpses were all dressed in civilian clothing, and they were shot from behind. They were all killed from behind by the Dongying soldiers on the way to escape.

The car was driving, and a man was running towards the camera with a suitcase. When he was thirty or forty meters away from the camera, a gunshot rang out, and the man fell straight down like a felled log, and then three Dongying soldiers ran towards the man who was hit with guns. They dragged the man's body away, opened his box, and rummaged through the contents of the box. One of the soldiers ripped the ring off the man's hand and hung it around his waist. Dong Yingbing saw Rabe's car, but did not embarrass them, because the car had a ** sign on it, as well as a sign of the safety zone.

As he passed by a few of the soldiers, Smith muttered, "Our leaflets were sent out asking people not to linger outside, but they weren't all delivered to people. ”

Rabe sighed and said, "We don't have enough manpower, it's impossible to inform everyone. ”

The car drove for another while, and Zhang Ran saw that the drone was already in place, and shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Sprinkle leaflets!"

The drone operator immediately pressed the start button, and colorful flyers were scattered from the sky like snowflakes. These leaflets were distributed to the people, and they were filled with various propaganda slogans.

According to the requirements of the film's plot, Smith would reach out and take a leaflet from the window, look at the content on it, and then say, so many people were killed in the street, I really can't see that the Dongying soldiers regard the Chinese as friends. Unfortunately, the actor playing Smith didn't catch the flyer falling from the air, and the shot was scrapped and had to be reshot.

Fifteen minutes later, filming resumed, but Smith's actor still didn't catch the flyer, and filming had to be suspended again.

The content of the leaflet is very important in the footage, not only to show the hypocrisy of the Dongying people, but also to set the stage for the blockade of Nanjing by the Dongying people, sending reporters to take pictures of soldiers giving candy to children in the refugee area, and filming a documentary on "Sino-Japanese friendship", creating a "peaceful" scene in Nanjing, and leaving a foreshadowing in an attempt to cover up the massacre. At the same time, this is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Chunru wrote "Nanjing Massacre" decades later. Decades ago, the people of Toying tried to cover up the truth about the Holocaust, and decades later they also tried to distort history and make the world forget the Holocaust.

It was filmed for the fourth time, and Smith's actor finally grabbed the flyer, and the contents of the flyer appeared in the footage smoothly. The leaflet depicts a Chinese child holding a Chinese child with a smile on his face and giving a bucket of rice to the child's parents;

The car drove all the way, and when it drove to Zhongshan Road, a team of Dongying soldiers and a dozen teams were smashing open the doors and windows of one shop after another, dragging away boxes and boxes of goods, and looting the shops. Many soldiers carried various items on their shoulders, and many had silver bracelets, watches, and rings on their belts. Some soldiers pushed bicycles with various items on them, some rickshaws dragged rickshaws to pull the goods of the carriages, and some even used strollers to carry goods.

Two Dongying soldiers walked towards the camera, shouting and pushing a thin man in front of him with the butt of their guns. The man was pushing a wheelbarrow with large wooden wheels on steel rings, loaded with looted trophies, a pile of dried salted fish, a bundle of vermicelli, a jar of salted duck eggs, a wall clock, and a tied sheep, bleating at the camera.

Smith couldn't help but scold: "These robbers are so shameless! They really rob everything!"

At this moment, Rabe saw a shop with a German flag, it was a Kisling pastry shop, and the door was already open, and two Dongying soldiers were moving things outside. The door of the Northern Hotel, which was also hung with a German flag next to it, was relatively sturdy and had not yet been opened, and several Dongying soldiers were frantically slamming the door. With a bang, the door of the hotel was finally slammed open, and the Dongying soldiers were like beasts that saw their prey, screaming and shouting, and rushed to the hotel.

Even the shops of the Germans were ransacked, and Forster, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but worry about his station, and proposed to visit St. Paul's Anglican Church on Taiping Road, which was the place where he worked and the prototype of the church where the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was located.

When the car drove to the entrance of the church, several Dongying soldiers were walking out with smiling faces, and they were carrying the loot obtained from the sacking of the church. One of the soldiers pushed Foster's bicycle with a large bag strapped to the back seat of the bike. Foster was so angry that he got out of the car and yelled, "You damn robbers, you even rob the church!"

When the Dongying soldiers saw Rabe and several Westerners, as well as the ** sign on the car, he was stunned for a moment, dropped his things and slipped away.

Zhang Ran, behind the monitor, exhaled softly and shouted loudly: "Stop! Everyone cooperated well this time! Let's do another one!"
