Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 159 Yamamoto, I Call You Immortal (2)

Moreover, the effect of shooting this footage is very shaky, and coupled with the long subtitles, it does not feel like a TV series produced with a budget of 100 million yuan.

Wei Junjie just sneered: "You know shit, this is what you don't understand, this is historical data, understand? This is a real war scene that happened, and it's used for the beginning."

A true picture of war?
My sister was stunned.

Although she didn't say anything else, it didn't mean that she was interested in watching this TV series.

"Humph, anyway, anti-Japanese war dramas are not good. It's not like we didn't watch them together last time. A while ago, grandpa and grandma kept wanting to watch that damn movie called "Charge On" or "Sniper" or something. They watched it every day. I don't know what's so good about it. It's so shocking, the plot is not good, especially the leading actor. But grandpa and grandma went to watch them. You watched it with us at that time. Don't tell me that you think it's good, otherwise I will look down on you."

"That's different, okay? You have a preconceived notion. Not all anti-Japanese war dramas are like this." Wei Junjie defended, "You will understand once you watch it."

"What do you mean by preconceived notions? You just acted in it and thought it was good." My sister didn't buy it.

"Just wait and see, and you'll know." Wei Junjie just smiled cheerfully.

So the family continued watching.

Soon, the blurry historical images and the narration explaining the background story passed by, and the real scenes of the TV series began to appear.

The main purpose of this narration is to tell the audience that this story takes place in Jinzhong area. The 129th Brigade of the 386th Division encountered encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army. In order to cover the transfer of the division headquarters and the field hospital, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army decided to fight to the death. On the three hills of the main position of Cangyunling, they fought a fierce battle with more than enemy troops. This also introduced the main character Li Yunlong.

The first is a war scene. The picture is extremely clear, the picture quality is extremely good, and the scene is magnificent. A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are fighting a desperate battle with the enemy.

Seeing this scene, sister Wei Shenmo was stunned for a moment: "So many people?"

Because at this time you can see that what appears on the screen is not the usual anti-Japanese war movie scene of just a few people engaging in a gunfight.

Instead, the war scenes are composed of multiple perspectives and multiple pictures, and the parts shown in each shot do not appear chaotic, but rather have a sense of tragedy and grandeur.

There were numerous grenades, a dense rush to the line, and even the charge was the same.

A large panoramic shot directly encompasses the densely packed teams of both sides.

You know, this is a very bold approach. If you are not careful, the picture will not look good.

But this is not the case this time. Instead, the war scene exudes a grand atmosphere from the very beginning.

"You don't know this, right? Because when shooting this scene, there were really more than 3,000 people on the set." Wei Junjie sneered, "You really don't know what the power of contemporary college students is? And Director Xia Yuan really spent a lot of money. There are a lot of extras this time. This really put the 100 million yuan budget into practical use. Otherwise, just look at it. Gazi's "Go Forward" some time ago also cost 100 million yuan, but most of the money was spent on pay and publicity, and not much was actually used for filming. Director Xia is different. Director Xia always spends the most money on the pictures."

Sister Wei Shenmo pondered for a moment: "Is there still such a director in the domestic entertainment industry?"

"Yes, Director Xia is one of them. Otherwise, why do you think Director Xia has so many fans?" Wei Junjie asked back.

Then, he excitedly pointed at a figure of the Eighth Route Army that was blown away by a bomb in the picture: "Look, that's me!"

His eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement and a hint of pride.

"It feels like he's just a soldier who was killed in a bomb." Wei Shenmo was speechless.

"You know shit, this is just my first role." Wei Junjie said disdainfully: "You will know when you watch it again. Director Xia said that I am a talent. It is not impossible for me to be an actor in the future."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Wei Shenmo said perfunctorily.

She would be the first one not to believe what her brother said.

Doesn't she know what a bad brother she has? As the saying goes, in the eyes of a younger sister, the brother is always the worst. What's more, her brother is very ordinary and has not achieved any outstanding achievements since he was a child.

It would be strange if he could perform well. But compared to her lack of interest just now, she was a little interested now.

Because this picture looks different from the previous "Onward".

Instead, it exudes an air of sophistication.

The plot gradually began to advance, bringing out a group of enemies, which was the Third Regiment led by Nobutsu Sakata.

Then, facing the team led by Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong also appeared.

There are no outrageous scenes or plots like in any great TV series.

Wei Junjie said at the right time: "The man who plays Li Yunlong is called Li Youbin. He is a man with a star on his shoulders."

Actor General?

Wei Shenmo was shocked.

Then, they watched in silence.

He spoke less and less, except for Wei Junjie who would occasionally point out himself with an excited look on his face.

The story of this episode mainly tells the opening scene. On July 1937, 7, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Li Yunlong, the head of the New 7st Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division, led his troops to fight bravely with excellent tactics and methods, making the enemy terrified.

The bravery and fierce fighting style he displayed enabled him to successfully break through the front and kill Sakata in the battle with the Japanese Sakata Regiment.

Unlike other war dramas, a regiment or a colonel is the final boss! He directly opposes the protagonist from the first episode to the finale!

It is not like other anti-Japanese war dramas that forcibly arrange tragedy, incite emotions, and forcibly stir up hatred right from the beginning!
For example, at the beginning, the person the male protagonist likes is raped by a woman and then commits suicide, or there are other plots that incite hatred. There is none of that.

It's just a pure war scene.

Then focus on the role of the protagonist Li Yunlong!

At the same time, Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, also noticed this extraordinary Li Yunlong.

However, because Li Yunlong disobeyed orders, his superiors decided to let Ding Wei, the commander of the 28th Regiment who was preparing to go to Yan'an to study, replace Li Yunlong's original position and take over the New st Regiment, and transfer Li Yunlong to the rear to serve as the director of the clothing factory.

Soon, an important characteristic of the protagonist Li Yunlong was also brought out.

He is straightforward and rough. He doesn't care about details during battles and likes to act boldly. His unconventional thinking often makes it difficult for the enemy to predict his next move, so he usually has miraculous effects.

Of course, his most notable characteristic is that he particularly likes to disobey orders and stir up trouble, which makes the headquarters love and hate him.

After Li Yunlong was punished, the Japanese army sent a combat team to raid the independent regiment. Due to poor command by the regiment commander Kong Jie, the entire regiment suffered heavy casualties and the commander was killed in action.

The headquarters had no choice but to transfer Li Yunlong, who was still under punishment, to serve in the independent regiment.

That's the entire plot of the first episode.

When the ending song appeared, sister Wei Shenmo hadn't reacted yet and was still staring at the TV.

“No, buddy, that’s it?” My sister widened her eyes.
