Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 633 The Murder Game, The Silent Crowd, The Final Cut of "The Diary of John Rabe"

After completing the formalities, the three of them finally left the police station.

However, only Oni no Takeshi returned.

Conan insisted on staying to see if he could find any clues to solve the case. Ran Mouri couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had to stay with him and keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Ono Takeshi was not surprised at all by the two men's choices.

Anyway, it doesn't matter much whether the crew has them or not, so Takeshi Ono just goes with the flow.

Perhaps Conan can bring a surprise.

After saying goodbye to the two, Takeshi Onino returned to the film set alone.

He briefly explained the situation to everyone, especially to Kogoro Mouri, whose face clearly showed his worry.

Upon hearing that his daughter was alright, the elderly father breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all Conan's fault for running off without permission. I'm going to give him a good talking to when he gets back!"

Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists, his face full of murderous intent. He had clearly blamed Conan for everything. How could it be his own good daughter's fault?
That Conan kid is such a troublemaker!

Although surprised that Conan could still encounter a murder case even after traveling all the way to China, Kogoro Mouri wasn't particularly interested in the case.

There's no commission fee!

They should focus on making good films; that's where the real money comes from.

The minor incident did not affect the filming schedule.

Gui Yewu reviewed the footage shot on behalf of the National Director. The latter was not yet the future top director of China, so he shot entirely according to Gui Yewu's requirements and did not dare to make any improvisations.

After a quick glance, Ono Takeshi nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the Imperial Advisor, his skills were indeed very strong.

The production team then got back on track.

Soon, it was time for another major event.

Although Rabe and others successfully established a safe zone and gathered 25 refugees from Nanjing, food became a major problem for so many people.

Before long, the safe zone was plunged into a food crisis.

To solve the food problem, Rabe personally approached the Japanese army for negotiations.

During this process, his Chinese driver was arrested by the Japanese army for getting out of the car to smoke.

At this time, the Japanese army was holding the infamous "killing contest," where the one who killed the most people within a specified time would win!

Rabe's driver was also caught and taken to the killing contest, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Upon hearing the news, Rabe rushed over, but he was too late. He could only watch helplessly as his driver and countless other Chinese people were beheaded by the Japanese army!
The Japanese soldiers standing nearby showed no remorse or sympathy; instead, they laughed wildly, as if it were just a game.

Rabe was furious and immediately went up to question why his driver had been killed, only to be told that it was because the driver hadn't been waiting for him in the car.

Then the other party hypocritically said they could accompany him and allow Rabe to take away any of the 20 people here.

Looking at the pairs of eyes before him that were shining with hope for life, Rabe was put to the test of his humanity.

He can save 20 people, but he can't save everyone.

This plunged Rabe into deep self-reproach, making him almost afraid to look into the eyes of those who were not chosen.

James Black's acting was superb; he conveyed all of Rabe's emotions, including anger, guilt, hatred, and self-blame.

Everyone else around them fell silent.

Hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things.

No matter how much you hear about the brutality and perversion of the invading Japanese army, nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes.

The prisoners were killed without mercy; the elderly, women, and children were driven to the riverbank and shot without compassion; pregnant women were cut open and their babies were impaled on the tips of spears; and there was even a "murder game" played just for amusement...

Everyone felt as if a stone was lodged in their hearts.

Such a scene is truly impactful.

Especially those Japanese people, were their ancestors such perverts? Do people who treat human life like dirt and even kill as a game deserve to be called heroes in Japan?
Were these the same guys they used to visit? These Japanese people had mixed feelings. No one with a sound moral compass and normal mental state could remain indifferent to such atrocities.

They suddenly understood why the public opinion storm had caused such a stir, and at the same time, they understood Oni Takeshi.

A sense of responsibility arose spontaneously within me.

This movie absolutely has to be made well!
We should help more people understand the true history, instead of living in a world of falsehoods and lies.

Perhaps this is cruel, and may even cause people's faith to collapse, but do the Yamato people not even have the courage to face their history?

The Chinese actors in the crew were even more indignant when they saw this scene.

"How could they... do this..."

Ling Zuer's big eyes were brimming with tears, and she stared at the group of Japanese soldiers with red eyes.

She had deeply immersed herself in the role, as if she had truly returned to that era of endless cannon fodder, becoming Lang Shu, a female student experiencing the Nanjing Massacre.

Faced with the Japanese devils' butcher's knife, she could only watch helplessly as her compatriots fell one by one into pools of blood, powerless to change anything.

Even she herself was nothing more than a drifting duckweed with no place to belong in the era.

"Card!"

"That's over, next round!"

Oni Takeshi shouted without any expression.

The others didn't say anything, they just quietly packed up their things and started preparing to film the next scene.

It was obvious to everyone that Director Onino was in a bad mood, so naturally no one wanted to provoke him. Besides, after filming for so long, everyone had long lost the relaxed and happy feeling they had before.

Everyone was just quietly doing their own thing.

This is similar to how Mr. Zhang, after being exposed to too much historical material about the Nanjing Massacre, couldn't handle it and developed depression.

Who could withstand the atrocities of the Japanese devils!

Of course, Ono Takeshi is no good either.

So he's holding a grudge right now.

I wish I could travel back in time and dominate the world!

Unfortunately, that's impossible, so he can only hold his breath and try his best to make a good movie, so that he can give everyone a big surprise!

Since then, the entire crew seems to have become more energetic and more dedicated to filming.

With the collaboration of two top directors, Takeshi Ono and Kokushi, almost no shot could stump them.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the filming of "The Diary of John Rabe" proceeded at an incredible speed.

Soon, the movie was already halfway through.

The next scene shows Siemens headquarters ordering Rabe to return to his country. Under pressure from the company and his homeland, Rabe has no choice but to leave the safe zone. Before leaving, the people he saved spontaneously come to see him off.

Although Rabe was forced to leave, his noble spirit of selflessly saving others will forever remain in the hearts of all Nanjing people.

The biggest challenge in this scene is the large number of extras.

Coordinating so many people is quite a challenge for the director.

But in the end, Takeshi Ono still managed to finish filming the scene.

The "citywide farewell" scene is the climax of the entire series and Rabe's most glorious moment. Takeshi Ono used a long take to create the atmosphere.

I believe the results will be good.

Everything proceeded smoothly from then on.

Until one day—

"I hereby announce that filming for 'The Diary of John Rabe' is complete!!"
