At this point, more than 40 minutes have passed in the movie, and the first half of the entire second act has been played.

Looking from the front row where Sun Yi was sitting, the audience looked up at the entire premiere scene, staring at the movie screen with blazing eyes, unable to wander for a moment.

Liu Yifei is worthy of being a fairy sister, the appearance of this student of the Republic of China can be so pure, the scene of the encounter under the begonia tree is simply beautiful, not to mention the actor, a man has to fall.

Looking at Liu Yifei's beautiful appearance on the screen, Qian Youyu kept sighing in his heart.

There are more than one person who has the same idea as him, and Yu Feihong, as a director, also saw Sun Yi's extraordinary use of the lens.

This dog brother seems to be a treasure.

Any type of film can be controlled.

Especially in the area of shooting women, it is very unique.

Liu Yifei is beautiful, but she can show all her advantages in the lens, and infinitely magnify them, so that the audience can fall into it, which is not a level that ordinary directors can do.

I thought that Sun Yi's creation of Liu Yifei's image of a pure school flower on "Those Years" was almost subverted, but I didn't expect that the image of a delicate and graceful Jiangnan woman pursued by female students in the Republic of China is even more breathtaking.

I don't know what new image he can create for Yifei next time.

Yu Feihong is looking forward to it at the moment.

And Yang Mi, who was also watching the movie, was full of envy, and she even replaced Liu Yifei's heroine with herself in her mind. Imagine yourself standing under that begonia flower, and you follow him soaring into the sky.

However, under the careful tasting, there is some annoyance.

It seems that I can't play the image of a female student in the Republic of China, but it is suitable for my aunt's wife.

Phew!

complained about Sun Yi's dog.

So far, the focus of the vast majority of the audience is on Huang Guoxing, the returned prodigal son, who finally turned back and found true love with Yang Wanyu, but there are still many professionals present.

It may not be possible to let them make a movie, but if you want to analyze a movie, it is indeed that ordinary people can't compare.

Analyzing in his brain while watching has become Zhang Li's habit of watching movies, this is an occupational disease, and it is not something that can be eliminated by simply relaxing and relaxing and watching a movie.

These plots in the first half of the second act are not just the love of the male and female protagonists.

It is also mixed with all kinds of foreshadowing.

Although the main line of this plot is that the male protagonist has initially grown up and understood the meaning of love, from lingering in the flowers to finding the love of his life, but in the same way, the study and life in the aviation school and a group of "second-generation" alumni around him are also imperceptibly influencing him and changing his uninhibited concept of life.

At the same time, the crisis has knocked on the door.

The current situation in the movie is constantly turbulent, from the gradually losing smiling faces of the instructors of the aviation school and the increasingly strict requirements for the students, as well as the newspaper news interspersed in the movie, it can be seen that Sun Yi is rendering the next changes all the time.

The next plot is vaguely buried in the main line, and when the situation changes abruptly in the next second, the audience will not feel abrupt, on the contrary, the emotional factors buried before will explode with the rhythm of the movie, so that the audience can empathize with the protagonist and achieve empathy.

This kind of technique that allows the audience to unconsciously enter the plot of the movie, Sun Yi used it very well this time.

Zhang Li is secretly sure in his heart that as long as the second half of the movie does not collapse, this movie will definitely become a milestone in the history of Chinese films.

Back to the movie, the light rain in the south of the Yangtze River is dreamlike and picturesque, with a unique tenderness and delicacy.

Slender as silk, it gently sprinkled on the bluestone pavement, making a subtle sound. Little by little, the water stains on the road surface gathered into a stream, which flowed slowly and came to a small courtyard with white walls and tiles.

In the drizzle, the poetic Jiangnan courtyard came with a gentle and quiet singing, accompanied by a silk brocade string, floating into the ears.

"Green bricks with tile paint, white horses stepping on new mud, mountain flowers and banana leaves twilight bushes, dyed red scarves ~~~~"

"The eaves are sprinkled with raindrops, the smoke is curling, and you are tossing and turning, where are you~~~~"

The lingering Wu Nong's soft words are heartstringing.

It's still the smiling face like a spring breeze, but the girl's youth has faded, the long braids have long been untied and coiled up, and the lake-blue bamboo cloth top has also been replaced by a plain and decent cheongsam. The eyes are as black as ink, but they are still so tender and smart.

A man in a military shirt in front of him looked at the woman in front of him obsessively while gently patting the beat, and there was love in his eyes, and he couldn't get enough of it.

"I didn't expect that my little fish is so versatile and sings so well, I can't get enough of it, I have been planted in your hands in my life."

"Giggles. The little woman doesn't dare to be a little more knowledgeable than Huang Da, what kind of thing has not been heard. ”

Ah, I've been caught in pigtails again.

They all complain about Ah Sheng, a stinky boy, who has no door on his lips, and let Xiao Yu'er know all his past "heroic deeds", and send him away tomorrow and let him go home to visit his relatives.

Huang Guoxing laughed dryly twice, and hurriedly tried to explain.

"That, little fish, wasn't I young and frivolous at that time, this. I haven't been to that place since I met you. ”

"Hmph, it's weird."

Wanyu looked coquettish, and after a while, she asked with a little expectation:

"How long is this vacation?"

"Well, the captain has given me a month's leave, and I'm going to send a telegram to the old man and ask him to come here."

"Speak well, what old man. Uncle, are you coming? ”

"It's not just him, but also my mother and sister, I have to let them meet their future daughter-in-law and brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Yang Wanyu's pretty face turned red, and she has been in love with Huang Guoxing for a long time, although she has already secretly agreed, but sometimes she still can't stand his boldness and straightforwardness.

"I, I regret it, I won't marry you!"

Holding the pipa and turning her head, Yang Wanyu made a gesture of a little daughter, with a fierce face.

"Eh, I just like your duplicity."

"Begging for a beat~"

"You're going to murder your husband!"

"Stop!"

The two of them were fighting at home, and with the help of the warm yellow light, the two figures converged into one, and Wu Nong's soft words, which had just not been sung, were renewed.

On a rainy day, it's a good time to stay home and play this little game as a couple.

Wanyu's body has both the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman buried deep in her bones, and the liveliness of receiving cultural education in the new era. Huang Guoxing is very in love, the relationship between the two has already been sublimated, and when he just graduated from aviation school, he had bravely proposed to Xiao Yuer, and Xiao Yuer also shyly agreed.

The two have been in love for more than two years from acquaintance to love, and in that era when they can get married as long as their parents agree and meet each other, their emotional foundation is deep enough, not to mention, the two are completely free to love.

In Huang Guoxing's heart, the Huns are not broken, why do he have such ambitions, at least not yet.

He never forgot that when he joined the aviation school, it was for the woman in front of him and to marry her, so he chose to contribute to this country.

Of course, Huang Guoxing's initial mentality is indeed like this, but after living for more than two years, he is a lover and a friend, does he have any other emotions for the land under his feet? No one can say for sure.

Anyway, there is no answer in his own mind, at least not yet.

The premiere scene.

Sun Yi was looking at his works a little leisurely in the audience, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his waist, and he subconsciously twisted his body, and turned his head to see that his daughter-in-law was staring at him with a look of shame.

That resentful little look, where is there still a little bit of Jiangnan woman's grace.

What are you doing?

Sun Yi looked puzzled, but looking at Xiao Nizi's shy and angry expression, he instantly understood in his heart.

Eighty percent is because of this intimate scene in the movie.

But isn't this what you said at the beginning, you want to experience the intimacy scene in the movie?

Besides, I didn't see you objecting when I was shooting, but I was still interested, and I was dissatisfied at this time.

Sun Yi's helpless appearance made Liu Yifei even more angry, and just when she wanted to express it further, a piercing brake sound in the movie attracted her attention.

Hmph, watch the movie first, and then I'll clean you up when I get home.

screen.

The rain was heavier, the sky was getting darker, a military vehicle blocked the door of the small courtyard, a pair of military boots full of mud marks jumped out of the door, splashing the water on the bluestone slab, followed by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

Bang bang bang.

"Who?"

Smack, stand upright.

"Second Lieutenant Huang Guoxing, order: cancel all vacations, and all personnel return to the barracks immediately. Martial law engaged!"

Everything has changed abruptly, one second is still affectionate and loving, and the next second is directly tense.

The picture of the film quietly changes, from a soothing natural softness to a gray haze.

"Guoxing, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, you wait for me at home first, there is news, I will inform you immediately."

"Then be careful."

Wanyu arrived at the door of the room, looking at the back of her lover leaving, her heart couldn't help but pinch up, she prayed, not what she thought in her heart.

However.

On July 7, 1937, the RB garrison held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese garrison position without notifying the local Chinese authorities, and falsely claimed that a Japanese soldier was missing, and asked to enter Wanping County to search, but the local Chinese garrison sternly refused, and the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on Wanping City and Lugou Bridge. The 29th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 219th Army of the Chinese Garrison rose up and fought back.

The Lugou Bridge Incident officially broke out, thus opening the prelude to the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

In a tense and passionate background music, the movie began to be edited quickly, and a series of shots hit the audience dizzyingly, and the whole heart was raised to the throat.

On July 8, the Guodang government sent a telegram to General Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army to mobilize the whole army and hold on to Wanping County.

On the same day, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a national telegram:

Pingjin is in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! Only when the whole nation carries out the war of resistance is our way out! Call on all Chinese compatriots, the government and the army to unite and build a strong Great Wall of the national united front to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders!

On July 9, the Military Council of the Guodang government sent a telegram ordering the whole country to prepare for war.

Newspapers, news, and electrified shots kept flashing, and the angry faces of Chinese people jumped on the screen.

The cherry blossoms are falling, accompanied by the eerie hole flute, and the camera switches to the RB. Empire, where ugly faces are shouting greedily in the cabinet base camp, and the cries of all-out aggression are clamouring in the clouds.

On July 12, the RB Empire, the Cabinet Headquarters decided to increase troops against China in connection with the Lugou Bridge incident. At the same time, the army and navy were ordered to start an all-out invasion. The Chinese War.

On the same day, the RB Admiralty formulated a review of the . China's combat plan.

First, it was ordered to repatriate RB nationals from cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin to RB until August 9.

Then the Combined Fleet immediately went out to impose a naval blockade on China and choose an opportunity to annihilate and attack China. Navy.

At the same time, an air raid plan was drawn up, with air strikes by air units under the Combined Fleet at military targets in Nanchang, Nanjing, Shanghai, and other places, and air strikes by the First and Second Air Groups of the Navy's air forces in Hangzhou, thus destroying the fledgling Chinese Air Force.

The situation was tense in an instant.

On July 17, the Guodang government issued a speech on Lushan:

As soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between the north and the south, the old and the young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything.

Huang Guoxing sat in the barracks, turned off the radio, and rubbed his head a little irritably.

Although he had long expected the situation to deteriorate, according to the common speculation in the army, it was believed that there should be at least another year or two.

With this time, the things around him have long been resolved.

But I never expected that the war would come, and the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

He is most worried about the small fish at home now, and he has to go back.

Huang Guoxing has a good relationship with Lao Sha, the logistics officer of the squadron, and he never forgets him if he has any good cigarettes and drinks. He knew that for the profession of pilot, excellent ground staff were a big pillar of life, and he took the opportunity to receive the last batch of imported aircraft spare parts, and he returned home.

"Guoxing, yes, is there going to be a war? With RB people? ”

Yang Wanyu's beautiful eyes were tightly locked on the man in front of her.

It was a pair of eyes full of worry, eagerness, and even a hint of regret.

She is no longer the girl she was back then, but she still loves her motherland, but when she really wanted her master to go to the battlefield, she hesitated, tangled, and began to worry.

It can't be said that she is selfish, where did she come from so much greatness, this is just an ordinary Jiangnan woman's worry about her lover.

Huang Guoxing's expression was as relaxed as possible, and he hugged the lover in front of him.

"Ha, it's okay, I'm still on standby."

"Oh, oh."

"By the way, Xiao Yu'er, clean up the house, if the situation changes, you have to move out as soon as possible."

"Didn't you say you were on standby?" Wan Yu's tone was a little urgent.

"Just prepare in advance, just in case, but you don't have to worry, even if it really starts, it won't be on our side for a while. Be obedient, you prepare at home first. “

"But, I can't go, and the school."

Hearing this, Huang Guoxing's face became a little unnatural, but he still said with relief:

"There should also be a unified deployment in the school, and when the time comes, we will just wait for the news, and we will prepare it ourselves."

"Oh, yes, got it."

"By the way, Wanyu, if only."

"Ah, what?" Yang Wanyu was still digesting this information, and she was a little flustered at the moment, not noticing what Huang Guoxing said.

"It's nothing, you go clean up first."

Looking at his lover's slightly flustered look, Huang Guoxing smiled calmly and gave her a reassuring look.

In fact, his heart is also very entangled at the moment.

What he just wanted to say to Wanyu was that if the situation deteriorated, would he be willing to go to the rear with him, or even flee to the United States, as he had said when he first joined the aviation school.

Xiao Yuer wanted to do something for the country at the beginning, and he still does so, and he can't let go of the teachers and students in the school, and he himself is the same.

The "bastards" in the team, one by one, are blowing all over the sky, but they are all his defeated men, and they are really going to the battlefield, so they have to take care of them.

Yes, try it first, see how it goes, and if that doesn't work, it's never too late to take that step.

Huang Guoxing thought so, but what he didn't know was that he was no longer alone than he was at the beginning, although he was still a little unfamiliar with this motherland, but he already had a bond in this land, and he could no longer just leave.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered."

"Well, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Huang Guoxing gave Wanyu a hug, and in her reluctant gaze, returned to the barracks.

In the face of the current situation, although Huang Guoxing was still lucky, his illusions were shattered by reality.

The entire aviation unit began to actively prepare for war, and every day reconnaissance planes carried out reconnaissance missions in the southeastern region, with the focus on the RB naval forces in the Shanghai direction.

At the same time, the fighter unit to which he belonged also began to be on combat readiness duty, with four planes flying every day, uninterruptedly defending the airspace over the entire Hangzhou airport.

With the briefing on the combat situation of the air force, everyone learned.

By August 1937, the entire Chinese Air Force had only more than 500 professional air crew members and 314 aircraft that could take off normally, including 12 heavy bombers, 90 light bombers, 113 fighters, 55 reconnaissance planes, and 20 attack planes.

Although the number of more than 300 aircraft is a lot, because it is the original air force that integrates various warlords, and it is unable to develop itself, it can only rely on imports. As a result, these models are varied, logistics support is very difficult, and their performance is relatively backward, and only half of them are really worthy of a war.

One of the most advanced aircraft was the Hawker III multirole fighter, which was imported from the United States at the end of 1936.

The prototype of this type of fighter is the US Navy BF2C-1 "Seahawk" carrier-based aircraft, which was declared retired for various reasons after only a few months of service in the US Navy.

The manufacturer, Curtiss learned a lesson, canceled its carrier-based capability, carried out a comprehensive improvement in response to the problems of this model, and finally changed it to a land type and exported it, winning the favor of most weak aviation countries, and the government introduced 102 planes before and after, and equipped the fourth and fifth fighter groups.

The aircraft is armed with a 7.62mm M1919 machine gun and a 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun, and can carry 227kg bombs or fuel tanks. The range is 1167 km, the cruising speed is 253 km/h, and the maximum speed is 362 km/h. It is equipped with retractable landing gear, with a maximum take-off weight of 2 tons and a climb rate of 655 m per minute.

Huang Guoxing's current car is it.

Through the previous months of running-in and proficiency, he felt that this fighter was generally good, basically at the mainstream level of the world's air force fighters, and RB's Type 95 carrier-based fighter system can be on par, but because it is a biplane fighter, the speed is not comparable with the monoplane fighter, fortunately, the maneuverability is good, and it is very suitable for circling "dog fights".

In the previous training act, in the entire squadron, no one could fight him.

On August 9, 1937, Lieutenant Yuo Oyama of the RB Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai led soldiers to drive a military car and forcibly stormed China's Hongqiao Military Airport, and was killed by airport guards.

After the incident, the Shanghai authorities made representations with the Japanese side and demanded a diplomatic settlement. However, the Japanese army unreasonably demanded that the Chinese troops withdraw from Shanghai, dismantle the military installations, and send additional troops to Shanghai while negotiating.

Everyone knows that the war has come.

On August 13, the RB Marines stationed in Shanghai launched an attack on our positions, but were heroically repelled by the local garrison.

On the same day, Gao Zhihang, then captain of the Fourth Fighter Group, issued an order:

Negotiations broke down, war was inevitable, and Shangfeng agreed to the participation of our air force in the operation. From now on, our air force will enter a wartime state, and all personnel will be ready to take to the skies as soon as the official order is issued, with the spirit of serving the country with great fearlessness.

There's always an audit, it's really uncomfortable!!
