Chapter 62: The Entire Audience Was Shocked

  It wasn't until everyone saw the director's name on the screen that they finally understood, it turned out that the person who appeared most frequently in front of them was actually the director Wang Wei.

  Everyone knows this name, a new director! Not long ago, he just shot a kung fu film called "The Big Brother of Tangshan". This film is still very popular at the box office in Taiwan. It seems that it has achieved a score of 8 million Taiwanese dollars in more than a month.

  While everyone was browsing Wang Wei's information in their minds.

  Suddenly, a beautiful landscape of mountains appeared on the big screen. Everyone's eyeballs were drawn to this beautiful scenery, and Wang Wei's information was instantly thrown out of their minds.

  The camera pans from far to near, first shining on a large mountain, and as it zooms in, people see a wisp of smoke rising slowly between the mountains. Then, a village appears among the surrounding mountains. The houses are tall and short, unevenly arranged. Occasionally, the sounds of dogs barking and chickens chirping can be heard, making the scene seem especially peaceful and serene.

  The camera gets closer and closer, gradually entering the village entrance. A smiling girl (played by Lin Qingxia) carries a washing basin back from washing clothes by the river. As she walks to the village entrance, she greets some villagers in Shandong dialect from time to time.

  Lin Qingxia, who was sitting below, felt a bit nervous when she saw the character she played appear on screen for the first time. Lin Fengjiao, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Lin Qingxia and noticed her tense expression. He took Lin Qingxia's hand in his and whispered in her ear, "Qingxia, don't be nervous, you're doing great. Look how beautiful it is." Lin Qingxia couldn't help but glance at Wang Wei's seat in front of her after being comforted by Lin Fengjiao. She saw that Wang Wei was intently watching the movie screen with his head raised.

  Lin Qingxia comforted herself silently in her heart and tried hard to relax her body.

  As the camera zooms in, the girl finishes hanging her clothes and tells a lie to her parents before running excitedly over the hill. As the camera moves, the second male lead, Wang Wei's character Wang Tiezhu, appears on screen with a bowl cut, looking a bit silly. Everyone was just wondering why the girl suddenly ran over the hill, but now they understand that she is meeting her lover.

  After the two got intimate, they started calculating when to get married. The camera then turned back to the mountain road next to the village, where the quiet mountain wind blew the wild grass swaying, and suddenly the movie emitted a series of footsteps, followed by the appearance of a sun flag. Then appeared a group of soldiers wearing pig ear hats and yellow military uniforms.

  Then the army stopped, and an officer-like person stood on high ground with a pair of binoculars, looked around, and said a few words in Japanese, meaning "Advance, target this village."

  Then the group of Japanese soldiers entered the village, gathered all the villagers together and began to lecture. During this time, several Japanese soldiers saw a few women in the village, their eyes gleaming with lust, intending to humiliate them publicly. The villagers rose up in resistance but were brutally killed by the Japanese soldiers with bayonets, then disembowelled and had their internal organs ripped out. A massacre thus began without end.

  The contrast of this scene is too great, making the people below the stage a bit unbearable. The previous moment was still such a peaceful and tranquil village, but the next moment it became a hell on earth.

  A woman, pregnant and wanting to protect her child, endured the humiliation by the Japanese with tears in her eyes. But then, after they had finished humiliating her like beasts, the Japanese used bayonets to dissect this woman.

  These close-up shots used by Wang Wei are all enlarged special lenses. So it highlights the cruelty of Japanese people even more.

  The crowd under the stage saw this scene, and one by one, they didn't show any signs of vomiting due to the bloody scene. On the contrary, they all had angry faces, red eyes, and couldn't wait to jump into the screen and kill those beasts themselves.

  The general beside Wang Wei clenched his fists and a red-eyed tear fell when he saw this scene.

  Just then, the scene shifted back to the girl and boy's engagement scene. When the boy agreed to marry the girl, she happily kissed him and told him she was going home. The two parted ways and returned home separately. At this time, the big screen suddenly split in two: one part showed the girl happily hurrying back, while the other part showed the Japanese soldiers killing the local villagers and starting to loot house by house.

  Because the screen is divided in two, everyone can clearly feel that the girl is getting closer and closer to this group of Japanese soldiers. Unconsciously, people's hearts are stuck in their throats, and everyone on the scene is reminding themselves not to go back, don't go back. Some people even couldn't help but shout out loud. However, the girl didn't hear what everyone said, and continued walking back.

  The Japanese army on the screen has finished its evil deeds and is now retreating in an orderly manner. The girl continues to walk forward. As she turns a corner, she is about to encounter the Japanese army. Is this beautiful girl also going to be ravished by the Japanese army? Everyone's palms are already sweating, and as they get closer, everyone's hearts become increasingly tense.

  Just as everyone had given up hope for the girl, her boyfriend Wang Tiezhu suddenly rolled out from the other side of the mountain and grabbed the girl. The girl was suddenly pulled back by someone and let out a startled cry, but when she turned around and saw that it was her own boyfriend, her look of shock changed to one of surprise and delight. Then she asked her boyfriend what he was doing there.

  The Japanese army was marching when they suddenly heard a girl's cry for help and sent out a team of Japanese soldiers to find the source.

  And on this side, the girl was still happily asking her lover for a reason.

  The audience below the stage couldn't help but shout: "Run, run!" Several military personnel in the audience had already cursed: "Damn it, why aren't you running yet?"

  Just as the two Japanese soldiers were about to discover them, the girl's boyfriend suddenly hugged her and jumped into a nearby bush. And just as they fell down, the Japanese soldiers appeared.

  As they watched this scene, the crowd in the theater collectively breathed a sigh of relief, but then their hearts were racing again, because the Japanese soldiers actually started slashing wildly with bayonets in the bushes. When a Japanese soldier's bayonet swept through where the girl and her lover were hiding, the faces of the people in the movie theater had already turned ashen. Some women could no longer bear to watch and covered their eyes.

  Just then a squad leader called out to the Japanese soldier, and he left. The girl and her lover escaped disaster. When they saw this scene, the audience finally let out a long sigh of relief, but felt a chill on their backs, apparently due to the cold sweat they had broken out in while worrying about the girl.

  As the Japanese soldiers walked away, the two stood up. The boy's face had been slashed by the bayonet of that Japanese soldier, leaving a long gash. Seeing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but shout in their hearts: "Brutal!"

  The boy told the girl the reason, it turned out that after the boy went back, he found that he had forgotten to send something to the girl, and then walked near the road to find the girl's village, but unexpectedly saw...

  The girl returned home to find that everyone in the village had been killed and all the houses destroyed. She wept silently, then buried the bodies. The two followed the boy to his home, but on the way, they met a man from the same village as the boy. He told the boy that the village had been massacred by Japanese soldiers. The boy didn't believe it and rushed back home like a madman. When he found out it was true, he gathered up the bodies in the village and then made plans with his brother to join General Zhang Zizhong's anti-Japanese army nearby. He told the girl to flee to her relatives' home.

  The scene then shifts to General Zhang Zizhong's command center.

  “·················。”

  Due to Wang Wei's use of montage editing in the war scenes, the front line and command center were intercut together, making the entire war scene appear exceptionally compact and tense.

  When everyone saw the whole scene of fireworks filling the air, they couldn't help but sigh and say that this was what a real battlefield looked like.

  When they saw the bullets flying over the heads of some warriors on the screen, the audience felt their scalp numb, and some people couldn't help but touch their own heads.

  When everyone saw General Zhang Zizhong holding a big knife and leading the dare-to-die corps to fight the Japanese army with all their might, they couldn't help but shout "General, you are mighty!" in their hearts.

  As the movie played on, Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Gouzi from their village found General Zhang Zizhong's troops, then Wang Tiezhu became a guard for General Zhang.

  Then came several subsequent battles, and the war scene became more and more intense. Larger and larger.

  When it comes to the final battle of 1940 between China and Japan, with several divisions engaged, I couldn't help but take a deep breath. This scene was written by Wang Wei using over 40,000 extras, and aerial shots were used.

  On such a grand occasion, when seeing the neat formation of the National Army on the screen from above, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and secretly praise Wang Wei for being young and loyal, not forgetting the party's cultivation. Several party bosses and some invited military leaders also gave Wang Wei a thumbs-up in secret.

  And the director below was secretly sighing that while Wang Wei took good shots of the horse, he was thinking to himself, "If I could take such a great scene?" Even if given the same manpower and resources, the answer would be no. Because previously, such a large-scale scene, and aerial photography, this shooting technique is almost unheard of even in Hollywood. Not to mention these Asian directors themselves, they can't control such a scene at all.

  As the armies of both sides were deployed, the grand battle began. The war was extremely tragic and Wang Wei gave many special shots during this period, making the plot more attractive. As one by one National Army soldiers died in battle, the audience's hearts were tied into a knot.

  Finally unable to hold on any longer, friendly forces all retreated, while General Zhang chose to select a dare-to-die corps to fight the Japanese army.

  Wang Tiezhu was among the dare-to-die troops, and they set off.

  The Dare to Die Corps engaged in battle with the Japanese army.

  The dare-to-die corps killed the first Japanese soldier.

  The first warrior of the Dare-to-Die Corps was killed.

  Wang Tiezhu was hacked several times.

  Wang Tiezhu sacrificed! Before his sacrifice, Wang Tiezhu saw the scene of his own wedding with his wife.

  All members of the dare-to-die corps were sacrificed.

  General Zhang was wounded by dozens of swords. His military uniform turned red.

  The Japanese army said that as long as General Zhang surrenders, they won't kill!

  General Zhang looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, drew his sword in indignation and died for his country!

  A generation of generals has fallen!

  Because Wang Wei gave many special shots, the war seems exceptionally cruel!

  When they saw General Zhang die at that moment, everyone present stood up spontaneously and gave a military salute.

  Then the troops behind went crazy because of General Zhang's death in battle and fiercely fought against the Japanese army, finally retrieving the general's body!

  Then it's the general's funeral!

  When the cinema hall once again resounded with loyalty and patriotism.

  The screen again displays: Dedicated to those who have given their lives in the fight against invaders.

  The movie ended and the whole hall was silent except for the singing!

  But the silence lasted only for an instant.

  Then the whole theater erupted in applause that shook the entire hall!

  "Ying Lie Qian Qiu" premiere ended successfully!
