245: Rally on fire

Liu Xiaoli patted cucumbers in the kitchen.

Hearing her daughter and Xu Ning talking in the living room, she was so frightened that she put down the kitchen knife and patted her chest: "It's so dangerous, I can't be in the living room in the future, I'm ashamed to die......"

At this moment,

Xu Ning's voice came: "Aunt Liu, is the cucumber photographed?" Do you want me to come over and help? ”

Liu Xiaoli picked up the kitchen knife, turned around and said, "No, you and Xiqian take some dishes and chopsticks, and you can eat right away." ”

soon

A plate of cucumbers, a plate of boiled beans, and a plate of fried beef cubes were served on the table, and the three of them sat down to eat and chat.

Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli's flushed face and asked with concern, "Mom, are you hot?" ”

Aunt Liu wants to say that it's not hot, but she's shy.

After all, she didn't make much effort to cook just now, so she didn't get tired and her face flushed, but standing in the living room with Xu Ning just now really tired her.

Liu Xiaoli is very puzzled, why do you like to stand? It's not good to lie down, if you stand up, not only your legs will be affected, but your waist will also be sore.

"However, this feeling is good, and if Sissi is not at home, it will be a good thing!"

Liu Xiaoli held the rice bowl and suddenly smiled.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I want to have something to worry about, you eat quickly, your brother Ning will have something to do later."

"Uh-huh, okay."

After eating, Xu Ning went home.

returned to the study and continued to improve the copywriting of the opening ceremony of the Olympics on the computer, and on QQ, Jay Lun was sending him messages in a tick, all about the box office.

"Initial D" was released for two days, and it slashed more than 15 million yuan in the mainland, and also had millions of yuan in Xiangjiang and Baodao.

In addition, in the Korean and Japanese markets, "Initial D" is also indiscriminately killed, ranking firmly in the top three in the same period.

After all, this is a movie based on the manga of Little RB, coupled with Jayron's popularity, it is normal to perform at the box office in South Korea and Japan.

This is very envious of Xu Ning.

Jaylen's debut novel got off to a good start, but what about his debut? Can you fire the first shot?

With such doubts, the time soon came to the penultimate day of June, and "The Assembly" held its premiere today.

Today, Xu Ning did not invite other big-name stars and actors to come over to cheer, and all the people who came to the cinema were the main creators of the crew, media friends, film critics and representatives of distribution companies.

But in the choice of the audience, he took a little effort, and still took out one-third of the tickets for the lottery.

The platform for the lottery was placed on Baidu Tieba, after all, this is the brand he endorses, and Li Yanhong is also very concerned.

The remaining two-thirds were distributed offline, on a first-come, first-served basis, and hundreds of tickets were sold out in less than half an hour.

A lot of people came in groups.

Those who grabbed the tickets were overjoyed, and those who didn't grab them cried and asked for another one, otherwise they wouldn't leave.

In the end, Xu Ning came forward, chatted with them for a while, and took a lot of group photos, and these people left happily.

June 29, 9 a.m. sharp.

The cinema of more than 400 people was silent, and all the fans were staring at the big screen, and at a glance, almost all of them were young college students who came in groups.

Of course, there are also many older girlfriend groups, most of whom come for Xu Ning's appearance.

When these words appeared, there was a burst of cheers in the cinema, and after the applause, the fans quietly entered the viewing mode.

The film critics who were invited to come over began to pull out their watches and notebooks, ready to record the plot of the movie.

The first act depicts the battlefield in East China in the early winter of 1948, in the midst of a ruined wall, lying dead Guo soldiers.

"Brothers of the 168th Division of the Jiang Army, the 2nd Division of the Central Plains Field Army, the commander of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment, greets you on behalf of the whole company."

"You have been surrounded to death, and if you are tired and crooked, no one will be able to get a good ...... Let's replace the gun with chopsticks and eat dumplings! ”

However, persuasion failed,

Gu Zidi sent someone to check on the situation.

Jiao Dapeng played by Liao Fan, Jiang Maocai played by Wang Baoqiang and a group actor formed a three-person assault team to take the lead, alternately covering and advancing forward with standard tactical moves.

A fierce battle ensued.

When filming this battle picture, Xu Ning specially studied part of the materials of our army in the Huaihai Campaign.

The effect is also very satisfying, although it cannot fully restore the battlefield situation at that time, but it is also realistic enough.

At least the average lover of war can't find fault with it, let alone the critics who watch it in the cinema nodding their heads.

Because of the efforts to restore, it was inevitable to shoot some scenes of soldiers being shot and being bombed by shells, and the scenes were bloody for a while.

Many girls are afraid to look at it.

But for boys, it's just right, and many little boys are full of blood when they see it, and they can't wait to go up and beat the fruit army by themselves.

In the 20th minute of the film, it can be regarded as entering the theme, Liu Zeshui, the commander of the 139th Regiment played by Hu Jun, called Guzidi and asked him to stop the enemy troops on the south bank of the Wen River.

It was from here that Xu Ning's version of "Assembly" and Feng Xiaogang's version of "Assembly" began to differ.

Feng Xiaogang's version uses ambiguous techniques in dealing with the issue of "Assembly Number", which is easy for the audience to misunderstand.

Feng Xiaogang did not specify what Liu Zeshui, the head of the 139th regiment, meant...... Did he let the Ninth Company hold its position and never return? Or let the Ninth Company hear the "rallying call" and retreat?

Moreover, Feng's version of Hu Jun's performance is also debatable, in the movie, his eyes are wandering, and he has been playing the riddler, which makes people feel that they are not telling the truth.

The most ridiculous thing is that Liu Zeshui, the head of the regiment, said a very incomprehensible sentence, "The terrain of the old kiln factory is good, and whoever guards it will take advantage." ”

Jiulian Chang Guzidi is not a fool, who doesn't know that it is the most dangerous there? Why did the regiment commander make it clear that he wanted to fool him?

It doesn't make sense......

I don't know what Feng Pants was thinking at the time.

Anyone who has watched the movie knows that the position of the old kiln factory is used to break off for the large army, what does it mean to break off?

To put it simply, it is to hold back the enemy, hold the enemy, let the large army go first, and then, and then be the last to withdraw from the position.

What's the advantage of this kind of work......

Thank God for being able to withdraw safely.

But

Feng Xiaogang's version is played like this, and some of the words of the head of the regiment behind him are also suspected of fooling.

Therefore, after the film was broadcast, many people questioned "Assembly", thinking that he smeared the combat quality of our army.

According to the tradition of our army, this most arduous task is to be signed up in a hurry, not to mention far away, let's talk about the battle of Laoshan.

At that time, the selection of commandos was to rush to sign up, because the number of places was limited, and some people had not had the opportunity to apply.

So

In this version of "The Assembly", Xu Ning specially corrected this problem to make the story more reasonable.

At this time, this paragraph is playing on the big screen.

Liu Zeshui called Guzidi, did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "The old kiln factory on the south bank of the Wen River is the best position to block the enemy from crossing the river, but it is also the most dangerous...... Need the last one to evacuate ......"

After hearing this, Gu Zidi already understood what the regiment commander meant, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and saluted: "The Ninth Company is willing to hold on to the old kiln factory until the large army withdraws." ”

Liu Zeshui saluted him back: "The task is arduous, if you have any requirements, just mention ...... By the way, after the large army withdraws, I will ask the regimental trumpeter to blow the 'assembly horn', and you will quickly withdraw when you hear the trumpet, understand?"

Gu Zidi said with a smile: "I understand, the Ninth Company will definitely hold on until the 'assembly number' is sounded, by the way, the regiment commander, these two pot heads...... Can you give me a small bite. ”

In the film, it is winter, the temperature is below zero, and drinking some wine can warm up the body, so Gu Zidi is very greedy after seeing it.

As for blocking the enemy, he was not afraid at all.

Before this, Gu Zidi began to go to the battlefield in 1939, and he had fought hundreds of battles large and small, and he didn't know how to write the words he was afraid of.

Liu Zeshui laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Sit down, I specially found you two bottles of Erguotou, but you can only drink a small cup, and the rest will be added to the brothers of the Nine Companies tonight......"

Everything is in plain sight.

The head of the regiment knows that this is going to die for a lifetime, and Gu Zidi also knows that this task is very difficult, but someone has to go.

The Ninth Company is one of the most capable teams in the company, and it deserves to take on this task...... Because once the defensive line is broken, the regimental headquarters will be chased and beaten by the enemy, and the whole regiment will be in danger at that time.

After coming out of the regimental commander's house, Gu Zidi returned to the Ninth Company and began to mobilize, and the remaining 50 or so people in the company, including the wounded, asked to stay and fight.

But Gu Zidi did not agree to the most seriously injured people, and let them evacuate with the large army early tomorrow morning.

……

Seeing this, many people in the theater were moved by this spirit, especially the boys, when they were enthusiastic, they loved this kind of heroism of "the enemy is current, who else will I be" and "I don't go to hell who will go to hell".

And the film critics are all bowing their heads and carefully recording the words of the two, which is the most critical point in the film.

It is closely related to the "rallying number" in the back.

The film comes to fifty minutes.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company suffered heavy casualties, and Jiang Maocai and Jiao Dapeng blocked the advance of the tank with their bodies and died heroically.

Another ensemble member was holding a Molotov cocktail, and his whole body was set on fire, and he was in great pain...... It was his comrades who gave him the last bullet and stopped him from suffering.

A film critic wrote: The last bullet, please leave it to me!

Many people at the scene were moved.

The blocking battle on the south bank of the Wenhe River lasted for 34 minutes, and the entire process of the blocking battle was filmed in detail.

The first thing people feel when they see it is enjoyable.

At the end of the battle, near dark, a bugler ran desperately to the position, he was the trumpeter sent by the regiment commander.

At this time, counting the seriously wounded, there were less than sixteen people left, and thirty-two comrades-in-arms were sacrificed.

Gu Zidi looked in the direction where the large army was leaving, gathered the remaining comrades, and prepared to do the last wave of counter-charge mobilization.

At that moment, the trumpeter climbed up a small high slope and prepared to blow the rallying call, but at that moment, a stray bullet hit him in the throat, and he fell to the ground and passed out.

"Ah, don't die!"

"Commander, get up."

"Trumpet, trumpet......"

"It's over, the Ninth Company is going to die."

“……”

In the theater, there was a sudden noise.

Xu Ning and the other main creators were standing in the screening room to watch everyone's reaction, and when they saw this scene, they had a bottom in their hearts.

As long as the audience's emotions are mobilized, it is difficult for this movie not to be popular, and even more than a dozen film critics subconsciously sit up straight.

now

The movie screen shows a close-up of the trumpeter at the bottom, and the camera slowly turns his head to focus on the mottled copper trumpet in his hand.

On the south bank of the Wen River, the enemy had already rushed up, and Gu Zidi led more than a dozen comrades-in-arms to put bayonets on their rifles.

"Brothers, see you in the next life!"

After that,

With the last rays of the setting sun, Gu Zidi glanced in the direction of the retreat of the regimental headquarters, grabbed his rifle and rushed out.

subsequently

The picture is plunged into darkness.

Seeing this, the audience was all in a heavy mood, especially many girls, who couldn't help but hold their boyfriend's arm.

Because everyone knows that the Nine Companies are all dead.

No, it should be said that there is one left.

Millet field.

But in fact, it was more uncomfortable for Gu Zidi to live than to die, and he would rather die himself than see his comrades fall one by one.

A few seconds later, the big screen brightened again, and a line of words appeared, "All the three battalions and nine companies were killed except for the valley field......"

The scene turned again, and changed to the prisoner of war ward of the Eighth Hospital of the East China Field Army two months later.

subsequently

Li Chen and Liu Yifei appeared.

Li Chen played the role of a company officer, and Liu Yifei played the role of a field hospital doctor, and the two came to check on Gu Zidi's injuries.

After some inquiry, according to Gu Zidi's request, he was sent to the company, that is, the unit where Deng Chao was located.

The rest of the story develops normally, and Gu Zidi arrives on the Korean Peninsula with the army to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

In the 75th minute of the film, Gu Zidi returned home from the army and began to correct the names of the comrades of the Ninth Company who died that year!

Then I met the trumpeter of the year.

Because the trumpeter was pierced in the throat, he could not speak, and could only use sign language to tell what happened that year.

said that when he went to blow the trumpet but was hit by a stray bullet, Gu Zidi hugged him affectionately without any blame.

In the end,

Gu Zidi finally received the news from the former political commissar Zhang of the 139th Regiment, and issued a notice to the local government to posthumously recognize all the commanders and fighters of the Ninth Company as martyrs.

"XX Civil Affairs Bureau, Martyrs Cemetery: According to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, Wang Jincun, instructor of the 9th Company of the 139th Regiment of the 2nd Independent Division of the Chinese Central Plains Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, and Jiao Dapeng, the first platoon commander......

"Forty-seven comrades brilliantly fulfilled the task of blocking the Wenhe Campaign in the 1948 Liberation War, and all of them died heroically; they made indelible contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people, and are now posthumously regarded as revolutionary martyrs."

"Notice is hereby given!"

Followed by

While the old kiln was working, a hidden mine hole was blown out, and forty-seven bodies were neatly lying inside.

At 120 minutes, the film ended with the sound of the rallying call, and the theater of more than 400 people gave a standing ovation.

The applause lasted for more than two minutes, and everyone did not stop until Xu Ning led all the main creators to stand on the stage in front of them.

"Thank you all for your support, on behalf of all the main creators of the crew, I would like to bow to everyone to express my gratitude......"

Xu Ning thanked him, and then led everyone to bow and thank those who were present today...... Later, it entered the normal interactive link.

Xu Ning talked about the original intention of creation and the feeling of being a director for the first time...... Liu Yifei, Fan Bing'er, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao and others talked about their feelings about making war movies in turn......

The audience all asked questions enthusiastically, and more than a dozen fans expressed their opinions on the movie.

It took nearly an hour to end the premiere, and in the early morning of the next day, "Assembly Number" officially landed in major theaters.

Thank you all for your monthly passes and recommended tickets, thank you
