Chapter 1091 Some kind of persistence

An Yi rushed to Chongqing, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and by consulting Chiang Kai-shek, he set the time for meeting with his American friends until the next morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During this time, many things happened in the country that An Yi could not let go, so he simply seized the opportunity to have an all-night detailed discussion with Chiang Kai-shek. Generally speaking, Chiang Kai-shek still advocated forbearance and concession, using the interests of Northeast China, North China and other places in exchange for time for the stable development of the whole country, and after the Red Army was completely wiped out, he would find a way to deal with the provocations of the people. For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek sternly warned An Yi that no matter how unreasonable the people were in the Pingjin area, the 17th Army should be strictly restrained, and the 17th Army should not be involved in the Pingjin dispute, and everything should be handled by He Yingqin and Song Zheyuan.

For this reason, An Yi argued on the basis of reason, saying that blind concessions would only boost the arrogance of the *** people and strengthen the confidence of the surrender faction, but Chiang Kai-shek was unmoved, but asked about the specific situation of the 17th Army organizing college students to conduct military training, which made An Yi sigh helplessly, but he still carefully made a detailed report to Chiang Kai-shek on the huge repercussions achieved since the military training.

The military training program for young students in colleges and universities in North China has won the strong support of the training director department and the general staff headquarters, and has been strongly supported by patriotic organizations and the general public. The government and the army are very nervous about this, believing that the impact and potential threat of the 17th Army's move far exceed the confrontation exercises held by the three main divisions of the 17th Army, which not only strengthened the Chinese people's confidence in resisting Japan and opposing Japan, but more importantly, tens of thousands of young students have acquired basic military knowledge and skills through nearly a month of arduous training.

Through the traitor spies hidden among the students, the special service was surprised to learn that the military training level of the 17th Army far exceeded that of any Chinese army, and in many places it was even more scientific and rigorous than that of the Japanese army. Under the powerful ideological education and efficient military education of the 17th Army, countless young people who are weak and can't help the wind have learned to carry guns and learn to obey, in the slogan of "driving away humiliation and defending the country" shouted by the officers and soldiers of the 17th Army every day, before the first morning and dinner gathering, whether it is a military camp or a field camp, the song of "Serving the Country with Loyalty" will be resounded in the sky, and the thoughts and behaviors of young students have undergone tremendous changes. It is especially incredible that many shy and shy delicate girls who are as fragile as greenhouse flowers can carry a medicine box on their backs, run with the officers and soldiers in training, and under the guidance of military doctors and nurses, they urgently deal with all kinds of emergencies during training, bandage bloody wounds, and lift up injured comrades-in-arms with their slender shoulders...... All these great changes that have taken place in a short period of time have shocked the *** people, and they are worried day by day, in the words of Kenji Dohihara, the head of the secret service, that is, "the potential threat posed by a knowledgeable soldier to the Great *** Empire is enough to exceed ten soldiers without knowledge."

At this time, the famous literati traitors in North China, Bai Yuhuan, editor-in-chief of Tianjin's "Zhenbao", and Hu Enpu, editor-in-chief of "Guoquan Daily", were assassinated in the Japanese concession one after another. Seeing that the 17th Army had returned to its garrison after the 17 th Army had completed the exercise, the headquarters of the Tianjin Garrison Army had no movement, and once again plucked up their courage and shouted loudly at the garrisons of various departments in North China, coercing and intimidating them to the extreme, pointing out that the assassination was the work of the central government and the result of the secret connivance of the military and political authorities in North China, and threatened to launch a tenfold retaliation at any time.

He Yingqin, who had long been frightened by the arrogance and unreasonableness of the people, hurriedly accompanied the Japanese negotiators and traveled around Tianjin and Qingdao, sternly warning local officials at all levels that there should be no more "damage to Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations" and no more anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese and association activities.

Song Zheyuan, Yu Xuezhong and other generals who had just mustered up a little courage by the 17th Army once again saw the flying and domineering of the *** people, as if they had been pulled out of their bones all of a sudden, and frequently feasted on the senior generals of the Japanese army, explaining that it was absolutely impossible for the local garrison in North China to participate in such a bad thing. Nanjing's Wang Jingwei is even more ugly, welcoming the first diplomat in every possible way, and even as the leader of the Chinese state, he personally went to the newly upgraded first embassy in China to apologize, and promised to strictly investigate the truth of the incident and bring the murderer to justice, so as to maintain Sino-Japanese friendly relations.

For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek specially called Dai Li to ask whether the assassination was committed by the military commanders.

Dai Li, who remained in Beiping, was very sure in the secret report that this was a spontaneous action of a non-governmental anti-Japanese organization in North China, and gave a detailed account of the assassination. Chiang Kai-shek, from the clumsy methods of the killers and the actions full of loopholes, saw at a glance that it could never be the work of Dai Li's military commander and An Yi's Fourth Department, not to mention that the Fourth Department had already abolished the special operations department in North China, handed over this authority and responsibility to the military commander, and only retained limited secret agencies such as intelligence and logistics.

Therefore, when Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi discussed the variables that the assassination might bring to Sino-Japanese relations, they told him very frankly: I should not have let you turn a blind eye to the local anti-Japanese organizations in North China so early, so that now you have become a mixed bag, and the dragons are leaderless, and the impact of this matter will soon be seen, and it may be even worse than you and I think.

Due to the westward movement of the Red Army, the Nanchang camp and the Wuhan camp of the chairman of the NPC Committee were abolished one after another, and the newly established Chongqing camp could no longer pose a substantial threat to Chongqing because of the successive defeats of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army, and was subsequently renamed the Sichuan camp. An Yi knew in his heart that Wang Jingwei, who had fallen out with him, would definitely take this opportunity to demand the abolition of the Syrian government camp, and even take this opportunity to legally abolish the autonomy of southern Sichuan, so as to weaken the huge *** and economic influence of An Yi Group.

Taking the opportunity of this meeting, An Yi bluntly raised his concerns to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek clearly told An Yi not to worry, what to do or what to do, all the areas currently under the jurisdiction of the Syrian government will still maintain the status quo for a long time, and it is a big deal to replace it with the "Syrian Government Appeasement Office", which still enjoys a high degree of autonomy.

An Yi can finally let go of a concern. Chiang Kai-shek's support saved him a lot of trouble, although the territory was controlled in his own hands, and no one could fundamentally touch the interests of his own group, but he was always remembered and frequently made tricks behind his back, which still made people feel uncomfortable. It is true that today's An Yi Group is so strong that no force dares to openly be the enemy of it, and the economic development and national defense strength of the entire country are also inseparable from An Yi's support, but there are always people next to the "according to the law of so-and-so regulations" to find the unhappiness of the southern Sichuan government, and it is impossible for An Yi to turn a blind eye, and even worry that it will cause suspicion and other ideas among the people.

At dawn, An Yi had breakfast with Chiang Kai-shek, and then rushed to the hotel where the US economic delegation was staying to have a discussion with Soong Ziwen and American friends.

An Yi talked with American economic experts about "Sino-US friendship" and "mutual economic assistance" and other clichés, introduced the general situation in southern Sichuan, welcomed American friends to visit southern Sichuan, and held a one-and-a-half-hour separate meeting with Zhang Xi, an close friend and ally of An Yi and economic adviser to US President Roosevelt, deputy head of the delegation, before leaving his leave. Since the delegation still needed to inspect Chongqing for two days before they could transfer to Syria, An Yi did not stop long and rushed directly to the airport.

……

An Yi returned to Syria, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was taken by Gong Qian, who came to pick him up, to the Yangtze River Film Studio under Yingpan Mountain on the north bank of the Min River in Syria.

Geng Gu, director of the Yangtze River Factory, a native of Suzhou, Anhui Province, was the first batch of students to study in the United States in 28 years, and was a well-known barrister in Shanghai before studying abroad, and after studying law at New York University for two years, he completed all the credits and obtained a master's degree certificate, he suddenly felt that China, which was suffering from disasters, did not seem to need so many lawyers, and thought that the most urgent need in China at present is to awaken the people to unanimously resist foreign humiliation, and film is the best carrier, so he transferred to New York University to study film, and obtained a doctorate degree in film production and management in the summer of three or three yearsand interned for four months at Lightning Films in Hollywood. After returning to China last year, Gong Qian greatly appreciated Geng Gu's ability and ordered him to set up the Yangtze River Film Studio, which was subordinate to the headquarters of the An Jiajun Army, and awarded him the rank of major. Geng Gu lived up to his high expectations, receiving support from some cast and crew members of the Oriental Film Company, recruiting film production talents from Shanghai and Hong Kong, and employing professionals in photography, art, and soundtracks from various film companies and colleges in Europe and the United States.

The base camp allocated nearly two square kilometers of land around Yingpanshan in Jiangbei Province to build a photography base, with two four-story office buildings and five professional studios. Since June last year, in just over 10 months, the film studio has completed the shooting of four films, and now they are all in the process of final editing and production, among which this "Sons and Daughters of China", which reflects the war against Japan, will be launched to the market as the pioneering work of the Yangtze River Factory.

Geng Gu, who is also the producer of four films at the same time, felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and today he specially called Gong Qian, the leader in charge, to check the film. Gong Qian felt that watching movies was a good way to relax and relax, and when she picked up An Yi at the airport, she found that he was haggard, so she forcibly dragged An Yi over, and called Han Yu and Zhu Yun to accompany her by phone to enliven the atmosphere.

The design of the projection room of Changying Studio is extremely simple, more than ten meters away from the wide movie screen, a circle of sofas is placed at random, An Yi sits on the sofa in the middle, grabs Gong Qian's small hand with his left hand, puts his right hand on Han Yu's thigh, and Geng Gu and Zhu Yun sit on the sofas on both sides. Behind the couch are rows of stools and chairs, filled with excited cast and crew.

The lights in the screening room gradually went out, and in the passionate music of "Serving the Country with Loyalty", seven big red characters appeared in the Yangtze River Film Studio, and then fierce gunfire sounded, and the film officially began.

On the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, a few cups of fragrant tea steam around Nana, exuding a touching fragrance, but no one thought to take a sip, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the brutal battle scene.

"Children of China" is based on the growth of the warrior Wang Sheng, from a Kwantung swordsman who simply wanted revenge, to a determined and tenacious anti-Japanese warrior, and finally died heroically in order to cover the retreat of the main force and comrades. This movie more realistically reflects the hardships and tragedy of the An Jiajun's conquest of western Liaoning, and eulogizes the indomitable fighting spirit of the Chinese daughter in the face of Japanese aggression.

The protagonist Wang Sheng is a native of Dawangzhuang on the outskirts of Shenyang, who is a chivalrous and righteous man on weekdays, and is a famous swordsman in Shenyang. 918 Japanese invaded, the people of Dawangzhuang were wiped out by the Japanese invaders, Wang Sheng's parents, brothers and sisters did not escape the doom, Wang Sheng packed up the corpses of his relatives, wiped away his tears, and looked for a lonely *** person to start, but he didn't want to fall into the trap carefully arranged by the Japanese invaders, and saw that he was about to fall into the claws of the devil, and happened to be rescued by Yang Jiuxiao's Northeast Anti-Japanese Detachment, so Wang Sheng, who had clear grievances, participated in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Detachment and continued to carry out ruthless attacks and revenge against the Japanese invaders.

During this period, Wang Sheng's thinking changed rapidly, realizing that the invasion of the Japanese invaders was not only a disaster for his family, but also a terrible nightmare for the entire Chinese nation.

Until the outbreak of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Detachment and the Anjia Army successfully joined forces, and fought three wars, during which Wang Sheng experienced many major battles, wiped out more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers, and was promoted to squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander all the way. Later, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army became embarrassed and angry, mobilized two divisions and heavy troops, and tried to gather the squadron in western Liaoning.

Wang Sheng commanded the troops, calmly met the battle, and used the flag to instruct the air force units we supported to launch wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the pursuing Japanese troops. The whole company was surrounded by heavy casualties, and Wang Sheng was also hit in the head by a vicious bullet, and when he died, he tightly pressed the flagpole of the battle flag, and the military flag, which was riddled with holes, hunted and fluttered in the smoke of gunpowder......

"The beacon smoke is billowing and singing heroes, the green mountains on all sides listen to the ears, the thunder beats the golden drum on a sunny day, the sea waves make a harmony, the people's soldiers drive tigers and leopards, and sacrifice their lives to protect peace! Why is the battle flag so picturesque, the blood of heroes stains it red, why is the earth always in spring, and the lives of heroes are open......"

When this song full of patriotism and heroism sounded at the end of the film, Gong Qian, Han Yu, and Zhu Yun, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, sang along, as if only in this way could they release the emotions stirring in their hearts. Although An Yi is well-informed, and he doesn't know how many movies he has watched in his life, he is still attracted by this film at the moment. As the lights in the screening room came on, he turned his head and asked, "Who directed the film?" Whether it's the plot or the use of the lens, it's just right, and it's very skilled! ”

Geng Gu hurriedly introduced to An Yi: "Commander, this is the work of Lieutenant Xu Liang, the sixth batch of students who studied in the United States in three years and studied in the directing department of the University of California, Los Angeles School of the Arts. Xu Liang had filmed silent films in Shanghai before going abroad, and after passing our study abroad exam, he cherished this rare opportunity to obtain a master's degree in film studies with four students who liked to study in film at the same time, and now they all work in our Yangtze River Factory. ”

After Geng Gu finished his introduction, he got up and waved to a young man sitting in the back row. The young man walked quickly to An Yi's side, bowed and said hello, An Yi asked with great interest: "Lieutenant Xu, where did you shoot this icy and snowy scene, as well as the Great Wall and other landscapes?" It rarely snows in southern Sichuan. ”

Xu Liang replied respectfully: "Report to the commander, this film was basically filmed in Hebei last winter, and the final editing and production was only completed in southern Sichuan. Due to the intervention of the *** department, we received strong support from the 17th Army, and the shooting went very smoothly. In addition, didn't the commander send someone to produce the documentary "Liaoxi Battlefield Documentary" two years ago? There were more than 100 hours of footage at the time, and it was only an hour and a half that was cut out and played, and we took some of it from it, so it looked so real. ”

An Yi nodded: "I still remember this, "Liaoxi Battlefield Documentary" set a box office record of 10 million when it was released nationwide, and tens of millions of Chinese people witnessed the war in Liaoxi for the first time through the movie. This documentary won the Best Documentary Award at the Venice Film Festival, which once sparked a domestic documentary craze. However, time has passed, and it is estimated that many people have forgotten ......"

At this time, Gong Qian had already recovered from the movie world full of blood and passion, and said: "Now the Japanese are sharpening their knives in North China, and our government is compromising and retreating step by step. What we have to do is to bring everyone's attention back, fully mobilize the people, and use the living reality to wake everyone up, and there is no good end to being a slave to the country. This film is very well made, the young man who plays Wang Sheng is very good, is he a full-time actor in your film studio? ”

Geng Gu and Xu Liang looked at each other and smiled, Geng Gu beckoned again, and a young man who was very similar to the protagonist on the screen ran over, and when he came to An Yi's side, he saluted solemnly.

An Yi was surprised, Geng Gu had already introduced on his behalf: "His name is Mu En, in fact, he is a soldier under Commander Ding, our full-time actor auditioned several times, but the effect was not very good, and he couldn't show the military temperament of Jin Ge Iron Horse at all, so we found the *** department for help, and then selected in the garrison and police team, and Mu En entered our sight like this." After simple training, the screenwriter explained the plot, and director Xu Liang was kind and seductive, Mu En's performance got better and better, and finally a tough guy appeared on the screen. ”

An Yi remained silent, looked at Mu En for a while, and then asked, "Mu En, what do you think about leaving the familiar police work and participating in the filming?" ”

Mu En met An Yi's sharp eyes and said solemnly: "Actually, I don't like acting very much, my expressions, movements and even my personality are all interpreting others, and it takes a long time to experience it, and I am completely different from myself, I feel ...... It's weird!

"In the middle, I once left the film crew and returned to the police station, our Commander Ding said to me, making movies is very important, it can wake up our nation that has been sleeping for many years, as long as we can inspire one more person, we will add more strength to the future anti-Japanese battlefield, if we can move millions of people, we will add millions of manpower, before parting, he also brought me a newspaper, let me think about it. I still couldn't figure it out, but when I got home, I read the newspaper about the commander's speech to the comrades of the literary and artistic soldiers in the art troupe, saying that the literary and artistic front is also another front that we must strive for. ”

An Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect his speech to have such an effect, and hurriedly asked Han Yu beside him what the situation was. Han Yu whispered: "Brother, your last speech, after the "Sanjiang Daily" report, the major newspapers across the country have reprinted it, causing great repercussions, the discussion has not been interrupted, and now our literary and artistic soldiers have high morale, and they no longer feel inferior. By the way, brother, the script of the drama you wrote for us last week is now in rehearsal, and I believe it won't be long before we can meet the audience. ”

An Yi thought for a moment, nodded at Geng Gu, Xu Liang and Mu En, and said encouragingly: "The film is very well shot, I believe it will cause great repercussions after its release, I hope you will guard against arrogance and rashness, and create more and better works." ”

At this time, the cast and crew of the Yangtze River Film Factory, who got the news, came to the screening room one after another and greeted An Yi excitedly. After a cordial meeting, An Yi, accompanied by everyone, walked outside the screening room, and asked as he walked: "Major Geng, what are the other three films in your film studio?" ”

Geng Gu replied: "They are "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days", "The Great Wall of Blood" and "Imperial Flowers", of which "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" is a film of military life, telling the story of a tortuous marriage between an officer and soldier of my model battalion and a girl from Xiangtan, Hunan on the way to the Northern Expedition, based on Commander Xia Jian, "The Great Wall of Blood" tells the real events of the fierce battle between the soldiers of my 17th Army and the invading Japanese invaders at the Gubeikou of the Great Wall, and "The Imperial Flower" is adapted from Cantonese opera, which tells the story of Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian, the concubine of the concubine after the Qing army entered the customs in the late Ming Dynasty. tells the sadness and grievances of the slaves who died in the country. ”

Zhu Yun has been looking at An Yi silently, and when she heard the names of the three films, she couldn't help but say proudly: "One of the theme songs is sung by me, but the tune is too sad, and it is Cantonese, which is very rare." ”

An Yi knew which movie it was as soon as he heard it, and asked a little strangely: "Zhu Yun, I haven't heard that you can speak Cantonese, why ......?"

Zhu Yun said with a smile: "Among the sisters in the same dormitory as me are from Guangzhou, and I learned to speak Cantonese from her during my studies, so I have no problem with daily conversations and singing in Cantonese. By the way, Commander, I heard that you wrote the theme songs of these movies? ”

An Yi asked rhetorically: "How do you know?" Aren't they all marked as anonymous? ”

Zhu Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "This is not difficult for me, Han Yu has already told me." I really don't understand, how can you be so versatile? It's unimaginable that he is not only a military genius, but also a natural inventor, and now he has the talent to compose lyrics and music. ”

An Yi blushed rarely, and did not continue to dwell on this topic, but earnestly encouraged Geng Gu: "Although the Yangtze River Factory is a new establishment, it is the propaganda mouthpiece of our An Jiajun and the southern Sichuan government. As we all know, Shanghai's Oriental Film Company has continued to make good films in recent years, and the films it has produced have frequently won awards in the world, among which "Man Jianghong" is the winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the first Venice Film Festival, and "Model Camp" has won six awards including Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Music at the Academy Awards. Of course, it doesn't matter whether you win an award or not, the key is to shoot a work that satisfies the people, which can play an educational and inspiring role. If you have any requirements, you can ask my eldest sister, or you can put them forward here, and I will try to help you solve them. ”

Geng Gu said with a smile: "There are no requirements, the costumes and props are directly allocated by the headquarters, we just need to make a good movie." I'm just a little strange now, how can there be so many Kwantung Army costumes and guns? ”

An Yi disagreed: "They were all captured during the battle, all the battlefields we have cleaned will not leave anything for the devils, these military uniforms from ordinary soldiers to officials, our warehouses have thousands of sets, all of which have been disinfected, in addition to supplying you to shoot movies, they will definitely be used in the future." ”

……

That night, after some passion, An Yi put his arm around Ou Chuer and asked about the operation of Minjiang Film Company, another film production agency in Syria. This film company was formed by Ou Chuer in the summer of 33 years, using An Yi's own small treasury, and has always pursued a small operation, and the cast and crew hired are all teachers and students of the newly opened film major of South Sichuan Institute of Technology.

Ou Chuer said lazily: "It's not bad, in the past two years, the company has successively filmed more than ten films such as "Once Upon a Time in a Small Town", "Dead Wood in Spring", "Sweet Career", "Joyful Face", etc., and our cast and crew have gone from jerky to skilled, and now they can control the film well. The idea you gave was a good shot, and although there were no fierce battle scenes and gorgeous sets, it was still straightforward and high at the box office. Especially the theme song, which was sung by Han Yu at the beginning, and later asked for Zhou Xuan's help, all of which were popular all over the country. Today, Minjiang Records, under the name of our film company, has become the second largest audio-visual company in the country, and the cassettes and records produced are sold all over the country. Last time, Master Mei Lanfang performed 20 Peking Opera performances in Chengdu, and we all sent people to record them, which were deeply loved by Peking Opera enthusiasts. ”

When An Yi heard this, he gently kissed Chu Er's smooth forehead: "The affairs of the family are thanks to you, sometimes I think about it, I can't stand you, I ......"

"Nope! Brother Yi, I don't allow you to say that about yourself! ”

Ou Chuer raised her head, her cherry lips gently blocked An Yi's mouth, and after a hot kiss, another round of wind and rain soon came.
