913 [Literature and Art Serving the Country]
Walking up the stairs from Chaotianmen Wharf, you can also see many small craters along the way.
This is the key target of the previous bombing by Japanese planes, and the May Fourth bombing half a year ago was bombed from Chaotianmen to Shangqing Temple.
An old man recalled: "After the enemy planes bombed and left, we quickly disembarked from Chaotianmen Wharf. I remember getting off the boat and going up the road, I had to climb very high steps...... I had just been halfway up and started crying. Because the higher you go, the more fragments of human limbs there are on the ground...... There are bloody thighs lying across the road, there are piles of intestines still wriggling, there are half of the faces with messy long hair looking at you hideously, and there is a delicate bag in the hand with a broken arm, and the fingers that grab the bag are still shaking slightly! I couldn't breathe at all, my chest was tight, I was suffocating, I felt like I was about to suffocate, I forgot if I cried, I probably didn't even have the strength to cry. I remember that at that time, many children were blindfolded, and one child was not blindfolded, but his mouth was wide open and could not be closed, so he walked all the way...... The road from Chaotianmen to Shangqing Temple...... Along the way, I saw fires everywhere, black smoke, corpses everywhere, and pieces of human limbs......"
The young pilots looked at the craters, silent, and their expressions became solemn.
Further up, there are traces of charred houses along the street. Many of the houses were burned down in half, and the original walls were built with bamboo strips and mud, and the restored appearance is very ugly. The lower half of some houses is a Ming and Qing dynasty masonry structure, and the upper half has a bamboo and thatched roof.
More houses were destroyed to the point where only the foundations remained, and the owners had no financial resources to repair them, so the family built a shack in the rubble. Some shacks are even rented out to provide accommodation for people fleeing from other places, and such "hotels" are in high demand because the prices are very low.
The young pilots were dumbfounded, they had been bombed regularly in Kunming before, but they still couldn't imagine the severity of the Chongqing side.
As he walked, Zhou Hexuan suddenly saw smoke rising in front of him, and he thought that a house was on fire, so he hurriedly said, "Go over and take a look!" ”
It was a bombed-out ruin, and the street was already full of people, but it was not a fire, but the Central Film Studio was filming the location. The shacks in the ruins were temporarily removed, and some old wood was set on fire to make it look like it had just been bombed.
The film being filmed is called "Long Sky", which is the first feature film in China to show the demeanor of air force athletes.
The young pilots were very interested in this, and hurriedly joined the onlookers, Lin Yao shouted in surprise: "Look, that's a poplar!" ”
Bai Yang is a female star who only became popular three years ago, and her representative works include "Cross Street", and she has been starring in patriotic films and patriotic dramas in recent years.
Seeing that the young people seemed to want to go to Baiyang for an autograph, Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "This movie will also go to your air force station to shoot, and if you want celebrities to sign autographs, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
"Who are the stars?" Peng Xingbang asked.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Gao Zhanfei, Wei Heling, Bai Yang, Wang Renmei, Jin Yan, and Li Wei. ”
The young people suddenly became excited, they are young people after all, they also pursue fashion and entertainment, and they can't wait to hurry back to Guangyangba Airport to meet the stars.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, well-known film companies have either dissolved or stayed in Shanghai, Tianjin and other places. Many film workers who did not want to live under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders came to the rear to actively carry out patriotic propaganda work, and they usually performed patriotic dramas and shot patriotic films when they had the opportunity.
Three major film groups have been formed in the entire rear, namely the China Film Studio, the Central Film Studio and the Northwest Studio, and all of them are patriotic films, such as "Defend Our Land", "Bloody Loyalty", "Eight Hundred Heroes", "The Sky is Ten Thousand Miles", "Sons and Daughters of China" and so on.
These filmmakers also often risked their lives to go to the front line, or even the anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines, to shoot anti-Japanese war documentaries with the army. For example, the Northwest Studio, funded by Yan Xishan, will shoot "North China is Ours" in the southeast of Shanxi this year, and will also shoot "Wind and Snow Taihang Mountain" and "Long Live the People" next year.
It's a pity that because there are many leftists in the Northwest Studio, Yan Xishan ordered the film company to be shut down before the filming of "Long Live the People" was finished.
After walking a short distance, everyone came to a teahouse, and Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to appreciate the teahouse culture in Sichuan." ”
The teahouse also appears to have been bombed, with a large hole in the roof and a distinctly different color of the tiles that have been re-covered. Luckily, the bomb landed in the teahouse and didn't explode, so the teahouse was still open for business.
There are many bamboo chairs in the teahouse, and someone is singing Sichuan opera on the stage, and the content of the performance is actually an adaptation of the anti-Japanese war movie "Defend Our Land" into a Sichuan opera version.
With the relocation of countless literati and theater performers, Sichuan opera was also reborn during the Anti-Japanese War. These outsiders started from learning Sichuan dialect, and gradually became Sichuan opera fans, and created a large number of patriotic Sichuan operas. Local traditional Sichuan opera practitioners have also begun to integrate and absorb the essence of other dramas in this exchange, and even take the initiative to move closer to the performance mode of modern drama.
The teaman quickly greeted him with a long-spouted teapot, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's Zhou Shenxian, you old man sit down!" ”
Zhou Hexuan dragged a chair and sat down, smiled and said in the Chongqing dialect: "Your tea herdsman business is okay." ”
"That's sure to be Se," said the teaman proudly, "Zhang Tianwang is the pillar of our teaman, and he didn't come today, otherwise the teaman will be crowded, and you won't be able to find a place to sit when you come to listen to the play." ”
"Zhang Tianwang" is Zhang Decheng, the king of Sichuan opera, with the stage name "Little Biography" and the nickname "Zhang Erwa", a native of Zigong, served as the director of the Chinese Theatre Association and the chairman of the Companion Capital Branch during the Anti-Japanese War, and performed a large number of patriotic plays such as "Chai Shi Festival" (in praise of Wen Tianxiang) and "Yangzhou Hate" (in praise of Shi Kefa). This gentleman is very close to the Communist Party, and has also bailed out the underground party, and his home has been repeatedly searched by Kuomintang agents.
"Good!"
"I just want it!"
There was cheering in the teahouse, but it was the actors on stage who were performing face-changing skills.
At this time, Sichuan Opera has not yet become an independent performance project, and most of the time it is performed in conjunction with the plot. For example, when the actor is filled with righteous indignation, the actor suddenly changes his face to express the transformation of the character's emotions.
Chen Guimin stared at the stage with wide eyes and said in surprise: "How did his face change?" ”
Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "A unique secret." ”
Soon the Sichuan opera performance ended, and the teahouse guys carried it up to a desk.
A gentleman in a long robe walked out slowly, slowly placing a waking wood, a hand towel and a folding fan, which was to perform Sichuan storytelling.
The first paragraph of Mr. Storyteller made Zhou Hexuan laugh: "Guys, the third episode of "Captain China" came out today, do you want to listen to "Captain China" first, or "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first?" ”
"Captain China!" The tea guests replied in unison.
The storyteller said, "Okay, let's talk about "Captain China" first. I'm going to say hello, "Captain China" is a comic, and I just watched the third episode, and I don't blame me for not being thorough (coherent) in some places. Bang (waking wood), Shenzhou men have many ambitions, and they serve the country from Rong Si. Regardless of the seven-foot body, he slaughtered the Japanese and restored China! (Finale poem) said last time, the Japanese doctor named Aihara on the dog day shouted urgently: Drop the bomb and kill everyone. The Japanese soldier picked up the grenade and threw it into the cell, booming your mother rang everywhere, and the Japanese soldier inside chattered comfortably, and was blown up so that the Japanese mother beat her mother and screamed......"
Zhou Hexuan really doesn't know what to say, his super anti-Japanese hero comics have only been serialized for three issues, and someone has already adapted them into commentaries, and it is also a Sichuan dialect version.
