『Chapter error, click here to report』

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran and the leading actor of the movie appeared on the lawn of the Golden Girl. Zhang Ran, like all the actors and staff now, put on the crew's uniform, which was printed with the words "Angel of Justice, Zhang Ran Movie".

The uniforms of "Angel of Justice" were designed by Wang Daren and customized by the garment factories under Century Peak, and the styles and shapes are quite outstanding. Not only the ordinary staff of the crew liked it, but even Amy Adams and Ulrich Tucker liked it very much. Amy Adams told Zhang Ran that when the film was finished, she would keep the dress as a keepsake.

Zhang Ran did not let any leaders present at the opening ceremony, and he did not want the Dongying right-wing and their supporters to talk about it. In addition to the film's creators and staff, there were also Zhang Chunru's parents, Rabe's grandson Thomas Rabe, and Weitling's niece Cindy Weitling.

After the official start of the opening ceremony, Zhang Chunru's mother, Ms. Zhang Yingying, took the stage to speak: "Chunru likes movies very much, she has always thought that the publicity of movies is stronger than books, and it is her wish to turn books into movies, and now her wish has finally come true, I believe she will be very pleased to see it in the sky." ”

Then Thomas Rabe and Cindy Weitling also gave short speeches, and then Zhang Ran held the microphone and said with a smile: "I have been making movies for almost 14 years, and among the movies I have made, there are two movies that have put the most thought, one is "The Aviator", and the other is "Angel of Justice". Eleven years ago, I decided to make this film after hearing the news of the tragic death of Ms. Zhang Chunru. It's just that at that time, I was not enough to control such a heavy subject matter, so I didn't dare to do it rashly. Now I'm finally ready and confident that I can make this movie well. In the future work, I hope that all departments will unite sincerely, show their best state, and make this film well. I hope that this film will bring more audiences into the cinema and let more foreign audiences know about this history. That's all I have to say, thank you!"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, the scene immediately applauded.

Then, under the gaze of thousands of people at the scene, Zhang Ran, Zhang Yingying, Thomas Rabe, and Cindy Weitling, each of them grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled it open forcefully, revealing a brand-new camera.

After the opening ceremony, Zhang Ran took a group photo with the relatives of the three protagonists and the leading actors of the movie. Then everyone was invited to the crew's cafeteria and had a very rich lunch.

After lunch, the main creator of the crew drove to the hill behind the seminary to prepare for the afternoon shooting.

The movie "Angel of Justice" has three lines, and there are relatively few connections between the three lines, they are all developed independently, and even the rivalry between Weitling and Rabe is pitiful. The arrangement of the whole film shooting is to shoot Rabe's scene in China first, then shoot Weitling's scene, then shoot Rabe's scene back to Germany, then shoot Zhang Chunru's scene, and then shoot the scene in 1948 when the poor Rabe receives food and money from the citizens of Nanjing.

On December 8, the International Committee issued a "Letter to the Citizens of Nanjing", announcing the official opening of the security zone and erecting the international Red Cross flag to show the neutrality and humanity of the security zone. Refugees poured into the refugee area in droves. But at this time, Rabe and Sperling found that the Nationalists had not withdrawn from the security zone as agreed, and had rearranged the fortifications and anti-aircraft gun positions. After they reported to the garrison headquarters, Colonel Long Yingqin and Colonel Zhou of the General Staff came with them to the hill behind the seminary to check on the situation.

The Nationalist government recognized the zone on November 22, but the Dongying military refused to recognize the zone on the grounds that it would hinder military operations. It was not until December 5 that the Dongying authorities stated in their official reply to the security zone that they had no intention of attacking areas where Chinese troops and military installations were not deployed. In Rabe's view, the prerequisite for the Japanese army not to attack the security zone is the demilitarization of the security zone, so the withdrawal of Chinese troops from the security zone is very important, and they have been working on this matter.

Soon, Tukel, who played Rabe, Duan Yihong, who played Long Yingqin, and the actors who played Spering and Colonel Zhou were all standing in the performance area, and the rest of the crew were all in place.

After a long series of passwords rang, Zhang Ran behind the monitor shouted the last password: "Start!"

After hearing the "start", Tukel, who played Rabe, pointed to the anti-aircraft artillery position at the bottom of the mountain and said anxiously: "Now that the security zone has been activated, and your soldiers have not only taken away a lot of the security zone boundary flags that have just been erected, but also built artillery positions and fortifications in the security zone, how can you not keep your promises?"

Duan Yihong, who played Long Yingqin, replied: "The situation is very critical now, and the defending troops need to build fortifications here and prepare for street battles to resist the enemy troops attacking the city. This piece of the southwest corner of the security zone, we must requisition. ”

Rabe spread his hands and loudly defended: "The Japanese side finally agreed not to take military action against the security zone, and now you are putting the entire security zone in danger." ”

Long Yingqin said in a very resolute tone: "Chief Tang has already ordered to fight against the water and defend Nanjing. ”

"You ......" Before Rabe could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up into the sky, and Spalin, Long Yingqin, and Colonel Zhou beside him also looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Zhang Ran, who was sitting behind the monitor, shouted: "Stop!" He stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is doing a good job, let's do another one!"

Filming restarted, and this time the actors' performances were still excellent, but Zhang Ran still did not shout "over", but asked for "one more". It wasn't until the third shot was finished that Zhang Ran announced that this shot had passed.

The next few shots show Rabe lying on the ground, his face raised to observe the Japanese bombers engaged with the Chinese defenders.

The final effect of the film was that three Japanese bombers were whizzing through the air, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Chinese defenders immediately opened heavy fire. One of the anti-aircraft gun positions was just down the hillside, only a few dozen meters away from Rabe, and tracer shells could be clearly seen rushing into the sky. But these things are not visible now, and they have to be done through special effects.

However, because of the need to add special effects, these shots have to consider not only the performance, but also the effect after the special effects are added. After each shot is taken, the special effects team will perform a simple compositing, and put the special effects shots together to Zhang Ran, so that Zhang Ran can confirm whether it is the effect he wants. Therefore, these shots were shot relatively slowly, and it took an hour and a half to shoot them.

After these few shots were taken, the next step was to film the conversation between Rabe and Colonel Long. This part of the play involves refugees down the mountain, and extras need to be used. After receiving Zhang Ran's notice, the assistant director immediately asked the extras who had already put on makeup and had been waiting for a long time to prepare for filming. At the same time, dozens of old cars of all kinds also drove to the designated location, ready to shoot.

After the first director confirmed that all the teams were ready, Zhang Ran began to give orders: "The car starts, 30 seconds to prepare!", "The tape recorder starts!", "Turn on!", "Play the board!", "The extras walk!", "Let's go!"

As Zhang Ran's "start" command sounded, Rabe and the four of them got up from the ground. Sperin patted the dirt on his body and said with regret: "It's a pity! ”

"It should be said that fortunately, the artillery fire missed!" Rabe's face was very ugly, and he turned his head to look at Long Yingqin and said, "If the Japanese planes find out that there are anti-aircraft artillery positions in the safe area and carry out artillery bombardment and bombardment, this is tantamount to a bloody massacre!"

Long Yingqin emphasized: "If the soldiers want to defend the inner city, they must turn this place into a combat field. ”

Rabe questioned Long Yingqin: "The Chinese side officially recognized the security zone as early as November 22, and we only informed the Japanese side of the situation in this regard after the Chinese side accepted the security zone." If the Japanese side knows that there are troops in the security zone, they will bomb us mercilessly, and the security zone will become a huge danger zone!"

Long Yingqin retorted: "We don't want this either, but when the battle comes to this point, we can't care about anything else!"

Rabe finally became angry and shouted loudly: "I will not do it, I can't be the chairman! I will call Führer Hitler, because General Don does not keep his word, the security zone will not be able to continue to exist!"

Sperin pulled Rabe, pointed to the dense number of refugees like ants at the bottom of the mountain, and said to Long Yingqin: "Now a large number of refugees are pouring into the safe zone, and with the original population of the safe zone, there are already more than 100,000 people in the entire safe zone! Such people are concentrated in this area, if the Japanese planes come to bomb them, how many people will die? They are your compatriots, how can you bear it!"

Long Yingqin's eyes flashed with sadness, and he sighed and said, "Two gentlemen, we are just carrying out orders. ”

Rabe also knew that Long Yingqin was in charge of this matter, sighed, and said to Spering: "Let's go, it's useless to tell them, let's go directly to Tang Shengzhi to protest!" After speaking, the anxious Rabei pulled Sperin and walked down the mountain.

"Stop! Everyone's doing well, let's do it again!"

The four actors present are all very professional actors, and their performance standards are very high, but Zhang Ran doesn't give anyone a chance to pass, and each shot has to be shot at least three times. The first is to be familiar with the state, the second is to shoot live, and the third is to shoot again for the sake of providing more material for the post-production. The same is true for this shot, which was filmed three times before Zhang Ran announced it.

The next scene is a scene in which Rabe and the others come down from the mountain and go to the garrison headquarters, and on the way they meet Han Xianglin organizing a convoy to transport grain back from outside the car; Rabe talks to Han Xianglin and asks about the situation outside the city.

Han Xianglin is Rabe's secretary, and in "Nanjing", Rabe's secretary is described as a traitor, and finally the Japanese army kills him. Han Xianglin in history is not only not a traitor, but also a real hero. After Han Xianglin was appointed by Rabe as the head of the food committee of the security zone, he quickly organized a convoy to bring back large quantities of grain, coal and salt from outside the city under artillery fire. It was this food that later saved countless refugees.

After Rabe left Nanjing, Han Xianglin stayed at No. 1 Xiaofenqiao and continued to rescue refugees. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Xianglin also testified in court against the atrocities of the Japanese army, and wrote "Han Xianglin's Dictation: The Japanese Army Hates the International Rescue Organization". Lu Chuan smeared such a person as a traitor, which is really very shameful!

The protagonists of the Nanjing Massacre part of the movie "Angel of Justice" are Rabe and Weitling, but Zhang Ran still hopes to shoot the Chinese's struggle and self-help, rather than being reduced to the background board of Rabe and Weitling, so he arranged for Han Xianglin and Cheng Ruifang to appear.

Zhang Ran looked at the time, it was already half past four, and the scene of meeting Han Xianglin involved the scheduling of vehicles and a large number of extras, and it took time to prepare, and the filming would definitely not be finished today. Zhang Ran stood up and announced loudly: "I'll shoot here today! Everyone has worked hard! Everyone go back early to rest, and we will continue tomorrow!" After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

The on-site staff also clapped their hands, and the whole scene applauded.
