1979 Golden Age

\u003c/ins\u003e

If Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are the bonsai of China, representing the most advanced aspects in the early days of reform and opening up, then Chen Qi is the bonsai among bonsai. The number of trips he has made abroad in recent years alone are things that many senior leaders have never experienced, let alone ordinary comrades.

"Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" was produced by Guangxi Film Studio.

Directors Yang Guangyuan and Zhai Junjie, and more than ten main actors, basically came to Hong Kong for the first time. Chen Qi tried his best to entertain them on the basis of meeting the standards, which amazed everyone and made them deeply feel the developed capitalist society of Hong Kong.

“Hello, Director!”

"Hello! I've heard of you for a long time, and I finally see you."

Yang Guangyuan shook hands. His resume was quite unique. He did not work for a film production studio, but was a full-time photographer in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. Due to his good relationship with the Bayi Film Studio, he gradually became a director and later became the director of "The Decisive Battle of Liaoshen".

He introduced the actors and said, "This is Shao Honglai, who plays Li Zongren!"

"This is Chu Guoliang, the actor who plays Zhang Zizhong!"

"This is Wang Mingzhang!"

"Sun Lianzhong!"

"Tang Enbo!"

"Bai Chongxi!"

"Han Fuqu!"

Chen Qi shook hands with everyone and asked, "Liao Yaoxiang didn't come?"

"Liao Yaoxiang did not participate in the Battle of Taierzhuang!" Yang Guangyuan was surprised.

"Oh, I got it mixed up..."

Chen Qi smiled. He was quite familiar with Liao Yaoxiang, so he asked Gu Weili to snipe Liao Yaoxiang's troops every day.

The last one is naturally Zhao Hengduo, who plays Chiang Kai-shek. He is in his 50s, very thin, with no hair on the front half of his head and a small mustache. Chen Qi looked at it closely and to be honest, it looked a bit similar, but not that similar.

In fact, he doesn't look much like Sun Feihu, just comparing their appearances.

The key is that Chiang Kai-shek's appearance is distinctive, with a bald head and a small mustache. If you can grasp these two points, it will be almost the same. Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli have also played Chiang Kai-shek. Does Zhang Guoli look like him? Of course not, the essence is enough.

Everyone took their seats.

Chen Qi arranged the itinerary: "You will first accept interviews from several newspapers. Comrade Zhao Hengduo should make more appearances and take more photos. Then it will be the premiere. We have already coordinated with the reporters and they will not ask sensitive questions.

You should also be careful in your answers. "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" is about expressing goodwill, so be careful about the proper measure. ”

If it were according to his idea, he would let Zhao Hengduo wear Chiang Kai-shek's uniform and give a passionate speech on the premiere day. But we cannot do this, as this would make Chiang Kai-shek a clown, which is inconsistent with the central government's policy.

The image of Chiang Kai-shek on the screen was actually transformed by us ourselves.

He used to be a pure villain, but was later gradually "beautified" and led in the direction of a doomed hero with hidden comedic elements. Countless memes emerged on the Internet, providing people with good material for conversation.

"Comrade Chen Qi!"

…………

The Hong Kong public is indeed not very interested in "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang", so we have to make them interested.

Therefore, Chen Qi tried hard to bring the right wing along and deliberately guided the topic of left and right, and the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan. He repeatedly and publicly invited Xie Zhonghou to attend the premiere, but Xie Zhonghou pretended to be dead and refused to respond.

He also publicly called out: "There are many veterans in Taiwan who participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. We sincerely hope that they can come and watch this movie!"

"Relevant parties in the mainland are studying the preparations for the construction of the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is an indelible part of the history of the Chinese nation. We hope to record the history and jointly complete the construction of the memorial hall through cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait."

"For example, we collect cultural relics from that time, oral histories of veterans, texts and images from that time, etc. We believe that Taiwan has a large amount of information..."

To break the ice in cross-strait relations, we need to find a breakthrough point.

Taierzhuang and veterans are the perfect match. It is about national justice. Resisting the Japanese invaders is the achievement of the national army. The mainland wants to show your achievements to the world. You can't just refuse it, right?

With this mixture, "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" has been elevated from a movie to a political event.

Media coverage intensified.

Soon the day of the release arrived, and the venue was naturally the Nanhua Cinema.

If the left does not have a large-scale star lineup, it will be out of place, and only a few influential stars will appear. Many reporters came, and the main creators all appeared, but the most popular ones were the descendants of several Guo Party generals.

For example, Chifeng City.

He was a division commander at the time, responsible for the defense of the village. He fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for 14 days and nights, and personally organized a suicide squad to attack the enemy at night. Finally, with the cooperation of brother units, they defeated the Japanese army's most elite Isogai Division.

His wife and children were still alive and were invited over.

Everyone entered the theater together to watch "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang".

The greatest contribution of this film is that it restores that period of history relatively realistically. The war scenes are also well shot, and the portrayal of the Japanese has also been changed. The Japanese in previous movies were all portrayed as clowns like those in "Tunnel Warfare" and "Land Mine Warfare", and were quite stereotyped.

This film neither glamorizes nor vilifies.

Xie Zhonghou from the Central News Agency did not come, but he sent people to infiltrate them.

When I saw Chiang Kai-shek personally presiding over the memorial service for Wang Mingzhang, and Japanese warplanes came to bomb him, Chiang Kai-shek remained calm and gave a speech: "Why panic? As soldiers, we should follow the example of Commander Wang, be fearless in the face of danger, and be ready to die!"

“Wow!”

The people at the Central News Agency couldn't help but exclaim, our beloved Chairman actually has a positive image?

First time ever!

Even a fool can feel the goodwill released by the mainland.

The last shot is a section of broken city wall, with hundreds of corpses paving a bloody road. The gray uniforms of the Chinese army and the yellow uniforms of the Japanese invaders are indistinguishable, and the smoke of gunpowder is still filling the air.

"The Battle of Taierzhuang has come to an end. 11,984 Japanese soldiers were annihilated and 719 were captured alive..."

After the movie ended, everyone who knew a little about history sighed.

Hong Kong was invaded by Japan, and this is something that can be empathized with. Then, the main creators came on stage to express their gratitude, and there were interactive sessions. Zhao Hengduo was the most popular, and he was baptized by flashbulbs.

When it was supposed to be over, Chen Qi suddenly jumped out.

“I called out to the Central News Agency several times, but received no response. I think that the film “The Battle of Taierzhuang” shows the heroic deeds of the Nationalist army, and it is a pity that they cannot see it.

So I apologize first. I decided to pay you a sudden visit. I will have someone send the tape to the Central News Agency and hand it over to their person in charge. If you are interested, why not go and witness it together?"

"ha!"

One reporter couldn't help laughing out loud and quickly covered his mouth, and the reporter next to him also laughed.

Damage to beauty (sai)!

Hong Kong journalists love and hate him. They hate his callousness and disrespect for the media, but they love his ability to always create topics.

"I hope the Central News Agency can accept this kindness. If they refuse again, I will have to trouble Comrade Zhao Hengduo to deliver it in person once."

"Hahaha!"

The whole audience laughed out loud.

Yang Guangyuan and Zhao Hengduo looked at him with a horrified look: Is Comrade Chen Qi so lawless in Hong Kong? The Central News Agency staff member who was mixed in the crowd turned green in the face and ran back to report the news.

After Chen Qi finished talking, he actually took out a tape and showed it to the reporters.

Then he waved his hand and Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang personally escorted it through the streets, beating drums and gongs, and delivered it to the Central News Agency.
