Chapter 365 Great Nation, Mom and Dad (23)

Shen Santong looked at Liu Ye: "I want to add more scenes to your Lu Jianxiong."

"Lu Jianxiong is present throughout the entire plot, but there is no emotional drama."

"Jiang Shuyun will die, but Lu Jianxiong will survive in the mass grave with a bullet shell."

"In the feature film, he will die, too."

"But in the Easter egg at the end of the movie, it is revealed that he survived. After liberation, he embarked on a journey to build the frontier."

"The Easter egg will introduce Lu Jianxiong's experience after he survived."

"In despair of the country's fall, he went to Yan'an, fought bravely in battle after battle, and demanded the lives of those who died in Nanjing."

“The play is in black and white, and I wanted a color shot at the end, a red sun rising over the frontier.”

"As the land beneath our feet moves toward light, the country welcomes light."

Shen Santong emphasized: "The arrangement of the character Lu Jianxiong echoes the real history."

"The massacre happened, but China survived and emerged from the trough."

"Five years after the massacre, in 42, Japan could only hide in its bunkers, and its ambitions of aggression were completely bankrupt."

"From 37 to 07, a period of years, our Chinese nation has emerged from the abyss, and our future and destiny are infinitely bright."

“A great civilization and a great nation are not determined by how glorious and glorious they are when they are strong and rising, but by their ability to come out of every trough!”

"There is no doubt that our Chinese civilization is a great nation!"

Liu Ye said: "Director, I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. You said it very well!"

Fan Wei also expressed his opinion: "Well said, we are a great nation!"

When Lu Chuan was directing, the mood of the crew was very negative, especially the Chinese team.

The Japanese side just laughed and were unaffected.

Shen Santong mobilized the enthusiasm of the main creators.

The biggest problem with the original version of "Nanjing" is that the perspective of the book is consistent, flesh and blood, highlighting human nature, and confession, while the Chinese perspective is fragmented.

The changes are targeted at these two, breaking up Kadokawa's perspective and keeping Lu Jianxiong's perspective throughout.

No other changes will be made.

The original Yue Opera song of "Little Sister" was obviously no match for the Japanese army's funeral dance with drum beats, and the Jinling women playing mahjong were no match for the Japanese men dancing "Ten Lenung".

This kind of comparison is wrong. When women are compared with men, they mentally put books in a dominant and masculine position.

Shen Santong really doesn't like this mentality.

Japan was in its rising period when it encountered the decline of the Chinese nation, or it was at the low point in modern history when it was attacked by the Western powers.

In another rising period, even in the early or middle period of a feudal dynasty, the poor imperialists would be able to make a mess of it.

We cannot condemn an ​​entire nation because of a temporary failure.

The barbarism in its rising period may be able to temporarily defeat the civilization in its declining period and tear off a piece of flesh, but it cannot win forever.

But the background is the massacre, even if the book took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, what happened has happened.

Shen Santong did not make any changes, remember this feeling.

Tearing pain.

What modern people need to do is to never let history repeat itself.

If the confession was deleted from the original version, looking at the film and television industry, there would not be much problem with the level and stance.

It can even be called a serious drama.

Even if it is not deleted, it is still a good negative example.

If you don’t look at it from a normal person’s perspective, the original version is already rare in the field of literature and art.

The filming progress of the "Nanjing" crew is going more smoothly.

11 month 28 day.

Finish the Tianjin scenes early and move to Changchun.

Lu Chuan contributed a lot to this play.

It cost more than 3000 million yuan and took half a year to build a "Nanjing City" in Taipingchi, Longwang Township, Nong'an County, Changchun, and restored an 800-acre ruined city.

Important scenes in the film such as Xinhua Gate, the church, and Jinling Girls' School are all included.

The design drawings clearly show the structure, size, proportions, and location of houses of the former Nanjing city.

The reason for choosing Changchun instead of Nanjing is that Nanjing had a cold winter 70 years ago, with snow and scenery similar to that of the Northeast.

The filming period of the film is long. When the climate in Nanjing warms up and the surrounding scenery turns green, it will affect the solemn atmosphere that needs to be presented in the scenes in the film.

Lu Chuan came back and stared at Shen Santong: "I can't let you ruin my show."

Quite embarrassing.

The crew functioned better after he left.

He didn't dare to make it public. He was a newcomer when "Looking for the Gun" was filmed. If word got out now that the crew was taken over by Shen Santong, it would be so embarrassing.

Shen Sandong said: "If you don't show some humanity to the Japanese army, I will turn around and leave."

Lu Chuan later filmed "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Banquet of Hongmen", and it can be seen that he is different from Jia Zhangke and "Leakage".

Take the original version of "Nanjing" for example. At the beginning of the movie, the camera focused on the Japanese army's siege of the city and the internal strife of the National Army. It was a documentary-style movie.

When Lu Jianxiong, played by Liu Ye, was executed, he suddenly shouted "China will not perish", and Lu Chuan added some emotion.

The scene in which Xiao Jiang, played by Jiang Yiyan, and others volunteered to serve as comfort women for the Japanese army was extremely sentimental.

This shows that Lu Chuan herself was immersed in the story and could not help herself. The Chinese perspective was stumbling, while the perspective of the book remained consistent, which was also because Lu Chuan, as the director, immersed herself in the Chinese perspective.

So there was a lot of painful struggles, and the filming was intermittent.

The perspective of the book is detached, so it is so indifferent.

The reason why Kadokawa committed suicide in order to repent for his actions was probably because Lu Chuan was so angry that he had to die.

Lu Chuan was actually modeled after Schindler's List.

He likes to "borrow".

"Looking for the Gun" was written by Jiang Wen, and another film "Kekexili" was copied from the documentary "The Tibetan Antelope and Me".

The problem is that Schindler has a prototype, and he also knelt down after winning the country.

Not only did he kneel down, he also had a great influence within Deutsche Bank.

Germany is also willing to give in to Judea when doing business.

Where is the notebook?
There is no prototype and no kneeling.

As a result, a fictional Schindler was created in the film "Nanjing".

The overall perspective is too "calm", more like that of a Japanese director.

This is also a problem in the current literary and artistic field.

They have no stance, deliberately avoid taking a stance, and are unwilling to safeguard their own country’s interests.

Shen Santong has a ridiculous guess that may be close to the truth.

To normal people, Lu Chuan glorified the Japanese army.

But the right wing of Japan is preventing this movie from being filmed.

At the same time, for some people, Lu Chuan is not glorified enough.

The play "Nanjing" was originally invested by the American investors. After watching "Kekexili", they wanted to fund Lu Chuan to shoot an Asian version of "Schindler's List".

The requirement was that the script be provided by the US side, telling the story of Rabe saving the Chinese during the Nanjing Massacre.

You can imagine the quality of this script.

After consulting a large amount of historical data, Lu Chuan decided to make a movie about Nanjing based on his own ideas.

With this choice, Lu Chuan rejected the US investment, which meant she refused to follow the path of Jia Zhangke and Leakage.

Then China Film Group took control and brought in Tan Hong, which led to the creation of this play.

So, for some people, what Lu Chuan made was a government propaganda film and a composition with a given topic.

Some people simply don't want anyone to talk about this matter, which is inconsistent with the tasks given to them by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are also some people who think that the image of the books represented by Kadokawa is too decadent and does not conform to the spirit of Bushido.

Lu Chuan became a sandwich.

Normal people were not satisfied with him, so they made up a book version of Schindler out of thin air.

Those who were against it felt that Lu Chuan was not oppositional enough and that she was catering to the needs of the government.

At the moment, Shen Santong had to admit that Lu Chuan was a progressive force.

This is the situation.

Lu Chuan will not be eliminated until more new forces emerge.

12 month 1 day.

Shen Santong released the final trailer of "Happy Birthday 2" and also released the second promotional single, which was a copy of Li Ronghao's "Mom and Dad".

My parents gave me a lot.

Enough for me to run around in this era

Enough for me to live

The crew finished work.

Han Sanping led an old man and said, "Santong, let me introduce you to Brother Lu, a famous writer, a first-class screenwriter, and the father of Director Lu Chuan."

Lu Tianming teased, "What famous writer? Director Shen is the famous director."

Shen Santong looked at Lu Chuan in surprise.

Can’t beat him so he calls daddy?

Lu Chuan asked in embarrassment: "Dad, why are you here?"

Lu Tianming said unhappily, "If I don't come to support you, how will you be bullied?"

Han Sanping pulled Shen Santong aside and said, "Leave the crew to Lu Chuan. Let me tell you, there is a traitor in your crew. Lu Tianming was called here by someone."

"The key is for the script directors who have withdrawn, and the international students who played script soldiers, to report your problems to some departments."

"This play was previously rejected by the relevant departments, and it was only approved after a long period of communication."

"I know you are not satisfied with the plot, but now we have to solve the problem of whether there is a problem or not. Having it is better than nothing."

After checking the information, I found that Lu Chuan was indeed a progressive force at that time. Although it is outrageous, it is the fact.

Group friends suggested not to change "Nanjing", but after analysis, I felt that it could not be changed.

In that era, this play was able to be approved and passed the review after being rejected by the xx department. It was really because of the lobbying of Lu Chuan and Tan Hong, which required not only energy and benefits, but also some guarantees.

The film was only able to be released because it was so-so, the emotions were so intense, and it was hard to get it on screen. At that time, I was still thinking about the China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Zone.

Also, the original version is very bad from the perspective of the movie, but objectively, it allows people to discuss and stimulate memory, allowing people to remember this period of history. It can also be considered a positive significance.
