The two women looked at each other and said, "I hope you can let me and Jenny play two roles in the movie." ”

"There is no problem, the female characters in the movie, just pick the two young ladies. It's just that I'm afraid that the two of you'll not agree to it. ”

The two eldest ladies who love movies were overjoyed and said in unison: "There is no problem with this!" They will definitely agree. "In other words, the opportunity to act in a movie is not very often. Not to mention, the quality of this movie script is unexpectedly high. These two avid movie lovers can naturally tell the difference between the quality of a movie. Moreover, since the male god Stewart is also going to star in this movie, shooting a movie is also a good way to get closer to the male god.

What's more, the contact between the male pig's feet and various female supporting characters in this movie is simply extremely intimate zero-distance contact. With Stewart's extremely traditional education and extremely conservative religious beliefs, with this kind of contact, it is impossible not to marry this woman. And Stewart just now apparently ignored this because of his agitation. only agreed to play the leading role. If you want to regret it, it's too late. Although there are no contracts and contracts, respect for promises is one of the moral standards that this man is obsessed with.

And Stewart didn't react until the two women made demands for the rest of their lives, and his face couldn't help but turn pale. At this time, the two women were already holding the script to pick a role for themselves. As for which one Stewart will marry after having zero contact, it is not in their consideration for the time being.

For the rest of my life, everyone was waiting for the joyful and noisy preparation of the movie script. The Japanese on the other side of the Pacific Ocean were tragically ravaged by American planes. The losses were devastating. Historically known as the "Great Bombing of Tokyo".

The bombing of Japan by the Americans actually began after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. In all fairness, Lao Mei's revenge is really heavy, and of course, this revenge can also be regarded as a kind of masculinity. The Chinese pay attention to the revenge of the gentleman, and ten years is not too late. But Lao Mei is particular, if you punch me, I will beat me back. So. It will only after 911 that the United States will be ruthless in Afghanistan and other underground.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans sent 16 B-25 bombers to bomb various Japanese military facilities in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, and Kobe. However, the B-25 bombers at this time could not meet the needs of bombing Japan, and the Americans did not have a springboard close to the Japanese mainland, so they could only let these 16 B-25 bombers either go away or fail to return, or were forced to land in China.

And the Americans about the development of the B-29. It's just a success. There haven't even been test flights yet. The first test flight of the B-29 was in September 1942, and the first successful test flight was in June 1943. Since then, the Americans have had the power to control the skies.

The B-29 bomber can reach speeds of up to 563 kilometers per hour and fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The cruising range is up to 6,430 kilometers. The strike range can reach two thousand four hundred kilometers. It is considered a big killer among the bombers of World War II.

After the successful test flight of the B-29 and its mass production, the Americans began to explore the possibility of a large-scale bombing of Japan. 1944. On 15 June, 68 B-29s took off from Chengdu, China, to bomb the Japanese island of Kyushu. But since the B-29 is a new model after all, so. There are a lot of mistakes. Not only because the distance is too long, but also because the bomb load can only be reduced. Moreover, out of sixty-eight B-29s, four failed to take off. Four crashed, six machines broke down and had to be abandoned on the way. One more was shot down. Therefore, this bombing did not cause much bombing effect.

However, the U.S. military then gained actual combat experience from this flight. And, at the end of 1944, the U.S. Navy occupied the Mariana Islands. From then on, the disaster of the Japanese began. On November 24, 1944, the Americans sent 88 B-29s to bomb Tokyo. However, due to tactical mistakes, the Americans ignored the climatic factors in Japan, so the scheduled precision bombing could not be carried out. A large number of aircraft did not find the target, and only about a tenth of the bombs hit the target.

Subsequently, the Americans began carpet bombing Japan with incendiary bombs at night. And the Japanese were simply powerless to intercept. The only means of interception is to use the Flying Swallow type, in the form of a suicide attack, to ram the American B-29, so that the American B-29 can crash.

In 1945, Major General Curtis Lemay issued an order. On 23 February 1945, the U.S. Air Force launched its first large-scale incendiary offensive against Tokyo. That night, one hundred and seventy-four B-29s dropped a large number of napalm incendiary bombs over Tokyo, Japan. The effect was unexpectedly good, and a large number of buildings in Tokyo, Japan, caught fire. According to post-war statistics, about two square kilometers of land were burned by American incendiary bombs.

After verifying that the incendiary bombs were useful, the large-scale air raid of 800 began in earnest.

On March 9, 1945, 334 B-29s took off from the U.S.-occupied island of Guam and flew to Tokyo. Carpet bombing was practiced. This bombing is known as the Great Bombing of Tokyo. The Americans, having the experience of the last time, dropped a large number of incendiary bombs on Tokyo. It weighs as much as 2,000 tons!

And the results are amazing. Buildings burned down on 41 square kilometers of land in central Tokyo, Japan, and smoke and dust continued for days. More than 267,000 houses were engulfed in flames and burned to ashes. As many as 90,000 Japanese died in the fires and explosions. In addition to this, more than 100,000 Japanese were seriously burned. It has become a huge burden to Japan. Even if the Japanese are lucky enough to escape, nearly a million people are facing the dilemma of being homeless and their property turned to ashes.

The fire burned for twenty-five days. The destructive power is comparable to that of an atomic bomb. The bombing also became the most devastating non-nuclear air strike in human history.

Since the US military dropped flares before throwing incendiary bombs. Therefore, the bombing was extremely accurate. All of the twenty-two targets scheduled for bombing were destroyed. A quarter of Tokyo's urban area, about 41 square kilometers of land, was razed to the ground. And the losses of the Americans were extremely minor. Only nine B-29s were destroyed by Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

And the Americans did not give the Japanese a respite in the slightest. Less than thirty hours after the bombing of Tokyo. Three hundred and seventeen B-29s, and bombed Nagoya. On 13 March, the US military sent another 300 B-29s to attack Osaka, Japan's second largest city. More than 1,700 tons of incendiary bombs turned Osaka's urban area of more than 20 square kilometers into a sea of fire within three hours.

Thenceforth. The U.S. B-29 bomber group bombed major Japanese cities one after another. The Japanese air defense system was largely destroyed. Of course, the rest of his life knows far more than the people of this era. He knew that the disaster in Tokyo was far from over, and that on May 9, 1945, Tokyo would be bombed again by the Americans. The results of this bombing are far greater than those of 9 March. The fire ran out of oxygen, and countless people died of hypoxic suffocation.

Post-war statistics, from November 1944 to the end of the war. The U.S. Air Force carried out strategic bombing of ninety-eight Japanese cities. More than 33,000 sorties of B-29 bombers were dispatched, dropping more than 160,000 tons of various bombs and incendiary bombs.

The Japanese, on the other hand, have little room to escape because of their small territory. Although the Americans had leaflets to predict the next target to be bombed, a large number of Japanese fled to the Japanese countryside. However, the air raids still killed more than 230,000 people and injured more than 350,000. Nearly a quarter of Japan's buildings are in ruins. The Japanese were hiding on their homeland, ready to land in the event of a landing of American troops. More than 1,600 planes that fought to the death with the Americans were destroyed by bombing. 1,650 ships of all kinds were sunk or damaged.

And this does not include the results of the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's just a conventional bomb.

Truth be told, even though later generations of Japanese people often held events to commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they were heartbroken about the Americans. But in fact, even if the Americans did not drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Just besieged the Japanese. Cut off all maritime communications and access to resources, and constantly bombard with conventional bombs.

Well, in just a few months, the Japanese will be killed and wounded by almost half. It only takes a year. Nine out of ten people will disappear. The side effects of the bombing were the collapse of the economic system and the stagnation of all kinds of production. It would quickly plunge the Japanese into hunger and poverty. As long as the Americans blockaded the Japanese for more than two years. Whether Japan as a nation will exist or not is still a matter of opinion.

From this point of view. The Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, forcing the Japanese top brass to admit defeat and surrender unconditionally. Not only is it not destroying Japan. It's about saving Japan. Therefore, for the rest of his life, he actually wanted the Americans to delay the war for a while longer. The longer it drags on, the more the Japanese will die. It's a pity that for the rest of his life, the strength is not enough to really influence the decisions of the Allied leadership. If you want to make it difficult for the Japanese to turn over, you have to rely on yourself.

The rest of my life looked at the news of the bombing of Japan and thought to myself.

*****

Time flies, and a few months later, the movies that Yu Sheng collaborated with several giants were all completed. Subsequently, several Hollywood giants, discussed in advance, avoided the scuffle of the release, and three films and a documentary were released one after another. Although, in movie magazines and gossip newspapers, these three movies have been reported, and the public has expected them.

However, when three movie masterpieces and a documentary are really placed in front of everyone's eyes, and the audience finds that the producers and screenwriters of these three films and a documentary have the names of the rest of their lives, their hearts are still shocked from the inside out.

Subsequently, the movie-watching frenzy of Americans was detonated.

Three feature films and one documentary, if divided according to the theme, can actually be divided into two groups. "War Horse" and "Greyhound Shirley" are a group, and the protagonists of the two feature films are not people, but animals that have a close relationship with people, but both movies are telling the story of people and families.

The theme of War Horse is homecoming. After leaving his homeland and experiencing life and death, he returned home safely. From the infinite expanse of the land, return to a warm place. At the end of the film, the silhouette of a person in the sunset has endless warmth. The theme of "Shirley the Greyhound" is to find relatives, when a child finds that his home is not complete, he goes to the vast world to search.

In addition to the theme of home, there is also a theme of animals and people. Since human beings got rid of the initial stage of civilization and formed a nomadic civilization and an agricultural civilization, two animals have been domesticated: horses and dogs. The domestication of horses probably began in the fourth millennium BC. The domestication of dogs began at the beginning of human civilization, that is, 40,000 years ago. Since then, horses and dogs have become the two closest animals to humans. Even, the course of human history has been changed because of this. The horse is an animal that determines the way humans fought in the age of cold weapons. Dogs, on the other hand, allow humans to foresee danger in advance and have an extra bodyguard who doesn't cost much.

And in historical legends, these two animals also have an irreplaceable status. There are many stories of saviors of various good horses and loyal dogs protecting their families. Therefore, although these two animals were domesticated by humans to serve humans, they have become one of the recognized family members of humans over thousands of years. Unconsciously, it represents the image of a home.

In China, this is not a big deal. Whether it's a dog or a horse, it's just one of the domestic animals. But in the West, the status of dogs in the home is sometimes not much different from that of people. Europeans and Americans have never been in the habit of eating dog meat.

In times of war, when people will be broken and people will die on the front lines. The concept and warmth of family are particularly precious. At the end of "War Horse", Albert rides Joey home, and the silhouette of Albert's mother Rosie rejoicing becomes the ending of the war that everyone prays for. The tear-jerking effect of this sight is extremely strong. But when the tears rained down, there was a kind of joy that had finally calmed down in my heart.

In "Shirley the Greyhound", the song of a cappella children's voice that sounded in the clear sky and secluded valley made people feel extremely peaceful. It's like that's what your home should look like. Of course, this song was brought from the afterlife for the rest of his life. After the rest of his life, it is difficult to remember the background music of "War Horse" or "Dances with Wolves". But only in "Greyhound Shirley", this clean and simple song, together with the green mountains and canyons, the warm sunshine comes into my heart, and I will never forget it.

Children, on the other hand, are the most delicate, warmest and most spiritual symbols of a home. (To be continued.) )
