Chapter 421 A Grand Mobilization

What is said is always better than what is sung.

The scene that I thought could be smoothed out in one night finally took shape until the next morning.

"The students performed well this morning,"

At No. 34 Qianliang Hutong, the chief director Wang Fulin looked at everyone and announced:

“Now, let me announce some of the cast members.

Gu Weijun is played by Chen Daoming, a third-year student of the Chinese Theater Academy;

Comrade Li Dazhao is played by Comrade Li Xuejian from the Kongzheng Art Troupe;

He - the actor who plays the boss is Wang Xueqi from the Kongzheng Art Troupe..."

Just when Wang Fulin announced the cast list, Jiang Shan happened to be standing next to Li Xuejian and Wang Xueqi.

In addition to Pu Cunxin, at this time, two of the three key players in the air administration actually came.

It seems that a summons order from the director of CCTV is really like an arrow piercing the clouds.

At this moment, Jiang Shan slowly looked at the bright green stars in the second courtyard.

I don’t know how these people will feel when they see this “National Day Gift” film again in 10 or 20 years.

However, one thing is certain.

When that time comes, the people will definitely regard this short film as a living treasure.

Just like when I watched "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", while receiving education and training, I can also look for familiar faces everywhere...

…

In the afternoon, Yanjing Taoranting Swimming Pool.

If it weren't for Chen Peisi beside her who kept nagging her.

Jiang Shan really couldn't believe that this swimming pool with a mushroom fountain, five diving platforms, and three standard swimming pools was actually a product of the 1950s.

“The largest swimming pool in Yanjing,”

Since Xie Yuan arrived, he has basically never left the country: "Listen to the name, everyone is a swimming pool, but this is called a swimming pool."

Jiang Shan: "Why?"

Chen Peisi and Xie Yuan said in unison: "Dabai!"

"..." Jiang Shan looked into the distance: "It's big enough."

Just as the two Jiang Shan, who had accompanied the migrant workers to Beijing, looked foolishly into the distance.

Chief Director Wang Fulin’s voice rang out again:

“That year, young college students in Yanjing City took to the streets one after another, shouted loudly, and triggered a vigorous May Fourth patriotic movement.

Today, we literary and artistic workers must also unite.

Do your best to show the heroic deeds of our revolutionary ancestors to the people one by one..."

After getting along for a while, everyone already knew that the short film they were participating in was a National Day gift film with great historical significance.

Just as CCTV's convening order states, this is a passionate feast that every promising young man should actively participate in.

At this moment, after listening to the chief director's last words, all the actors and students on the scene were already excited.

After giving the order to change clothes.

The whole court was jumping up and down, darting left and right, hats and shoes were flying everywhere...

The lesbians holding the clothes turned and went straight to the dressing room.

The next scene to be filmed is called "Women's Fire Bridge".

Known as the greatest bridge, this bridge has made many soldiers in the war awe.

In 1947, on the eve of the Menglianggu Battle.

In order to completely annihilate the 74th Division, one of the five main forces of the enemy, the Huaye Theater has formed an encirclement trend against it.

But only one team encountered obstacles on the bank of the Wen River about ten kilometers north of Menglianggu.

The original bridge over the Wen River has been destroyed by the enemy.

Nearby villages have already entered the battlefield and moved.

Only the Women's Rescue Society, who stayed here to wait for orders, learned of the emergency.

In order not to affect the progress of the encirclement of the large army, the 32 female comrades immediately decided——

Use your own body to build a "fire bridge" for the liberation fighters.

Although the military situation was extremely urgent, when more than a thousand soldiers saw this scene, they were still stunned on the spot.

32 Yimeng women comrades, in groups of four, carried a door panel on their shoulders.

Without hesitation, he jumped into the cold river water and formed a human bridge that seemed weak but was extremely stable.

The soldiers who really couldn't bear to set foot on it insisted on crossing the river by themselves.

But the women firmly persuaded: There are more important things waiting for you to complete. At the critical moment, time is victory!

In this way, more than 1,000 soldiers all successfully passed Wenhe River.

Not a single shot or bullet was soaked in water, and not a single soldier got his clothes and socks wet.

Not long after that, a head-on battle with the enemy began...

"Today, there is nothing to say,"

Assistant director Ren Dahui already has the momentum of a big family: "This must be the home field for all our female classmates. You have worked hard..."

"that……"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Shan spoke again: "That classmate is the backbone of the Women's Rescue Society?"

"I am Director Jiang," Zhu Lin raised her hand: "I am the director of the Women's Rescue Society."

Jiang Shan took a look at it and put on a small pale green flower turban, which made his face look sallow and skinny.

"First of all, pay attention to safety after entering the water." Jiang Shan slipped past: "Everyone, please pay attention. If you have anything, just shout out."

Just this little show, don't make any trouble.

"okay."

"Don't worry."

With the words "Jiang Shan", the female student who didn't take it seriously at first jumped into the swimming pool in the diving area with laughter.

In terms of today's climate, it was just right for filming this scene.

With the help of several male classmates and crew members, the female students in groups of four quickly carried the wooden planks.

Perhaps due to the buoyancy, the girls did not really feel how difficult it was for the female comrades at that time.

Until Wang Fulin gave an order, more than 20 male comrades in military uniforms and carrying guns stepped onto the wooden planks.

The pain that came instantly pressed them into the water with grimace.

After adjusting their positions several times.

Seeing that he still failed, the deputy director Jiangshan simply went out himself.

"Are there any women's clothes?" Jiang Shan looked at the stage manager: "Find me one."

"Why, are you going to dress up as a woman?" Chen Peisi was excited for a second: "Stage manager, find me one too."

"Wrapping a headscarf shouldn't be a big problem,"

After Jiang Shan finished speaking, he turned and looked at the swimming pool:

"Everyone, pay attention, the thin girls should hurry up first, and then you will go up when we take close-up shots later."

"That's a good idea,"

Wang Fulin, who had been having a headache, had an idea after Jiang Shan's reminder:

"Male students, pay attention, those who are too tall should not go up the bridge, let those with a moderate figure go up instead."

At this moment, Jiang Shan, who changed into a coarse cloth flowered jacket, was ready to go into the water.

When everyone saw his heroic expression of devoting himself to art, Chen Kaige, who was too tall, immediately began to take off his military uniform:

"Change me into a set of female comrade's clothes, so that we men can carry the bridge and the burden of the female students can be lighter."

"Count me in," Zhang Yimou raised his hand: "I look pretty, so it should be no problem for me to play a female comrade."

"You look pretty?" Zhang Tielin said unconvinced: "Let me do it."

Somehow, just after the deputy director Jiang Shan jumped into the water first.

The male comrades at the scene rushed to tie the flowered headscarf.

Jiang Wen, holding a small mirror, said to the makeup artist while looking at himself: "Comrade, help me smear it a little more."

At this moment, Ren Dahui happened to pass by: "Okay, you are already a qualified old woman."

"And over there," Ren Dahui raised her hand and pointed at Chen Kaige: "That classmate, pay attention, don't show your ears."

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Tielin, who were standing by, quickly stuffed their exposed ears into their headscarves.

Beside the swimming pool, Li Qinqin, Zhu Lin, Shen Danping, who were sitting on the shore waiting for the filming to start...

She covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi, who were also sitting on the shore, changing into women's clothes and not forgetting to smoke.

"Jiangshan," Chen Peisi blew out a string of thin cigarettes: "Look how you made them laugh."

Jiangshan turned to look at Chen Peisi: "Quickly close your big ears, didn't you hear what Dahui is shouting over there?"

"I'm just doing this to make it easier for you to hear what you say."

Chen Peisi was about to start when she was suddenly stopped by Jiangshan: "Sisi, come and take a photo of the two of us."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan, who had already put on her makeup, shouted: "Wait, take me with you."

Then, Jiang Wen, Zhang Guangbei, Zhao Baogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Tielin all ran over in flowered jackets.

At the moment when Yu Sigui raised his camera, they all gathered around Jiangshan.

...

In this way, a grand "Fireline Bridge" plot was successfully completed with the help of a group of gentlemen.

After this play, all the comrades present also understood how difficult it was for women comrades at that time.

"Not everyone can be a hero,"

At this moment, Wang Fulin stood beside Jiangshan again: "I feel more and more that our scene is very meaningful."

"It is meaningful for sure,"

Jiangshan changed into his own Dacron shirt: "The key is to make the masses love to watch it and watch it repeatedly."

"So," Wang Fulin smiled, "you came up with this way of shooting."

Jiangshan smiled: "What do you think, Director Wang? It's a bit interesting."

"More than I think it's interesting,"

Wang Fulin raised his hand and pointed at the students who were gathered not far away: "Didn't you see that their teachers are here?"

Although Jiangshan repeatedly emphasized that it was not necessary to be so meticulous, the students only needed to present a scene.

But Ma Jingwu, the director of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, still followed him to the scene with concern.

Artists of this era are obviously more dedicated than he imagined.

Even if it is only a few seconds in the camera, Teacher Ma will still give the students some pointers.

"We have to catch up," Jiangshan checked the time: "Students from Yenching Normal University should be almost ready."

"Let's go," Wang Fulin waved his hand: "Everyone pay attention..."

...

The next shooting location: Yenching Normal University.

After a lot of effort on the road, the huge crew finally moved to the campus of the Normal University.

The predecessor of Yenching Normal University is actually the famous Fu Jen Catholic University in history.

This campus was once called an isolated island that adhered to national dignity in troubled times.

Even when Peking fell, they were the only ones who insisted on the "three no" principles: not using Japanese textbooks, not hanging Japanese flags, and not taking Japanese classes.

It is precisely because of this that it was praised by students as the last piece of pure land in the occupied area.

Of course, the reason why Jiangshan and Wang Fulin chose to shoot here.

It is mainly because the campus of Fu Jen Catholic University is full of old buildings in the style of the Republic of China that combine Chinese and Western styles.

At this time, a large number of students from the Normal University had already changed into the May 4th-style student uniforms provided by Beijing Film Studio under the command of the teacher and deputy director Magaqi.

Sitting on the steps nearby, Li Xuejian, Xu Yajun, Chen Baoguo were thinking about their lines...

As soon as he saw Wang Fulin and Jiang Shan's large troops, he quickly put away his lines.

"How are you, Fu Lin, Xiao Jiang?"

Zhou Yeming, who was present at the scene in person, walked over with the principal of the Normal University: "Is your filming over there all over?"

"It went pretty smoothly," Jiang Shan said, "Fortunately, it didn't delay the work here."

"You guys are okay," Wang Fulin looked around: "Why do I see that everyone is almost ready?"

"We have completed several times of walking, we can shoot the parade footage first,"

Assistant director Magaqi looked at it calmly: "The students have even changed their costumes."

"That……"

Wang Fulin asked Jiang Shan: "Let's just shoot this part first?"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away,"

After saying that, Jiang Shan quickly turned around: "The new classmates... quickly change their clothes."

In this "May Fourth" drama, everyone came together.

Even 12-year-old Cai Guoqing wore a student hat and mingled in the parade.

Several old comrades worked on the 30-meter-long banner overnight.

He was placed at the front of one of the processions.

After giving an order.

Students from all walks of life on the Normal University campus came forward holding slogans, shouting and spreading leaflets.

"Give me back Qingdao and protect our sovereignty!"

“Defend our sovereignty and return Qingdao to me!”

"My compatriots, the great powers betrayed us in Paris..."

"They betrayed China and 40 million Chinese people!"

"How can the Beiyang government endure such a naked humiliation..."

"When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible!"

"Today, we will pay blood for blood..."

"No matter who it is, if he dares to destroy our country and destroy our race, we will fight him to the end!"

"Fight to the bitter end——"

At this moment, Jiang Shan and Wang Fulin were each guarding a camera.

One was responsible for photographing the parade.

One of them turned his camera towards the student representatives who were shouting loudly in the parade.

Groups of shots, over and over again.

No one complained or complained.

Everything seemed to be just like what the principal told them before:

[Whether it was in the past or now, we should always keep our blood and uphold our beliefs...]

For the last filming, chief director Wang Fulin had already set up the camera on the roof of a teaching building.

Standing with him were Taiwan Director Zhou Yeming, Normal University President Wang Zikun, and Mr. Qi Gong, who was helping Normal University compile a historical anthology.

"Our actions today are the harbinger of China's bright future..."

At this moment, Comrade Li Dazhao, played by Li Xuejian, was pulled out by a rickshaw:

"So today, we feel extremely honored and honored to be able to personally experience this unprecedented revolution..."

On an exclusive walkway among the crowd, Jiang Shan was following the whole process with a camera.

Looking at the reappearance of the May 4th Movement in front of us, all the students and actors seemed to have walked into history.

"This Jiangshan," Qi Gong, who was lying beside the fence on the roof, was shocked by the scene at hand: "How can it be arranged so realistically?"

"Who are you talking about?" Principal Wang and him looked at the formation downstairs in surprise: "Who is Jiang Shan?"

"Here," Qi Gong pointed downwards with a smile: "See, it's the handsome young man carrying the machine."

…

Ten days later, a National Day gift film from CCTV was released as scheduled.

By this time, Jiang Shan and Wang Fulin had arrived in Qingdao safely.

"Give me back Qingdao,"

The moment he landed, Wang Fulin remembered a line he had made not long ago: "Give me back my sovereignty."

Jiangshan, who was standing side by side with him, also laughed at this moment: "Happy birthday, motherland!"
