"Her acting skills were outstanding in "Drawing Ground", but in this movie, this scene is a direct dividing line from the previous movie. Her acting skills are even more comfortable and natural."
"It's hard to believe that Xia Yu's acting skills have taken a big step forward in one year!"
Chen Lin unloaded the evaluation on his notebook.
The movie continues.
In the war, this "calm" was an illusion after all. Even as these dozen kiln sisters crowded into the church, tragic massacres were still taking place in all directions of this ancient city.
Lens everything.
The time goes back to the evening of December 12th.
A war is about to break out.
Even though everyone present had watched a lot of war scenes through war-themed movies and documentaries over the years, when they saw the scene in front of them, they still shuddered in their hearts and it was shocking to the eyes!
Following this officer named Dai Tao, he retreated and fled to the river.
What came into view was that almost every inch of the beach was crowded with desperate flesh and blood bodies.
Every boat was crowded with people, or rather, they were piled one on top of the other.
Their hands were on the edge of the bed.
Big and small.
Old and young.
men and women.
There is no difference.
Being able to survive is the most important thing.
No one knows whether they can get out of this ancient city alive, this night.
This scene was created to be extremely realistic.
Although I know this is a movie, many foreigners in the audience, not just Chinese, also know a lot about this battle; I know that this was only a few decades ago, and that the scene in that real battle may be repeated again.
The epitome of “ordinary”!
The officer looked at this scene and trembled. He finally chose to turn around and return.
He thought that he would rather die fighting in this city than escaping.
He did not want to be a coward;
Don’t want to be a deserter!
Along with the officers, there were not a few soldiers who suddenly had lofty ideals and planned to die on the battlefield.
On the way, there was such a scene.
A soldier took off a citizen's gown and handed his military cotton-padded coat back to the citizen, but the citizen would rather wear a pile of patched gown, barefoot and shivering with cold than wear a military cotton-padded coat.
The officer raised his pistol, hesitated, and then slowly put it down. He picked up the gun and found only five bullets left in it.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin was filled with emotions. He wrote this comment in his notebook:
"The little soldier thinks he will never come back. What's the use of wearing this cotton-padded jacket? He is already destined to die. How about giving it to citizens who hope to escape from the battlefield? Maybe, with this military cotton-padded jacket, he can still
Live!"
"The citizen felt the kindness of the soldiers and looked at the little soldier in front of him who was about the same age as his son. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old and died generously. He couldn't bear it - maybe he would never come back, but please allow him
Sacrifice yourself as a soldier!"
War can be so cruel sometimes.
…
Outside the church, cruelty and bloodshed occur all the time, and people die every moment;
The appearance of the officer surnamed Dai broke the tranquility of Wilson Church, followed by the soldier surnamed Li and the soldier Wang Pusheng.
They lost contact with the original army, and had to be captured in order to protect the refugees in the safe zone. In the end, the Japanese invaders broke their promises and not only robbed the women and girls in the safe zone, but also sent them to the West!
Soldiers Li Quanyou and Wang Pusheng were among the survivors, but one was injured and the other had his intestines punched out.
The filming of this section did not take a particularly long time, but every shot captured the brutal faces of the Japanese invaders, the near despair of the women, and the cruelty of the soldiers who generously fought for justice but ended up not having a happy ending.
After explaining these forward contents, the film began to get on the right track, and the camera cut to the woman in the Qinhuai River.
When these kiln sisters from the Qinhuai River came to this church, the "scenery" of the Qinhuai River seemed to live in it.
And this is not a war documentary after all.
It only reveals the cruel war by describing the struggles and redemption of some "little people" from the side.
This church can be said to be a rare "paradise" in this war. Facing the Japanese invaders who were pressing down like locusts, Dai Tao and Li Quanyou were powerless and could only rely on the "view" of the Qinhuai River to paralyze them.
themselves, but their hearts are still on the battlefield!
Female student Meng Shujuan looked through the ventilation holes of the underground warehouse and watched the "scene" of the Qinhuai River blooming underneath. She could not hear the sound, but she could feel the corruption underneath the warehouse;
The camera zoomed in on the underground warehouse through Meng Shujuan's eyes - her eyes finally fell on Zhao Yumo and Dai Tao.
And it’s not until here that Xia Yu’s main role begins.
[The first time I saw you, I looked familiar]
[No way? You are not from Jinling]
[Are you not from Jinling? Have you lived in Shanghai? 】
[Well, I was born in Suzhou and lived in Shanghai for seven or eight years]
【Been to Shanghai recently?】
[Been there several times]
【Who did you go with? Have you ever been there with Jr? In July?】
【At the end of July】
[Someone must have taken you to the KJ club, I often go there to hang out]
【Where do I remember】
The sound faded away, and the two looked at each other. Zhao Yumo covered his mouth slightly and smiled;
The camera cut to Meng Shujuan's face, her pale little face, her eyes full of anger towards this officer. When she looked again, the person in the ventilation hole was already the kiln sister named Hongling!
She seemed to hear her sharp smile that would fascinate most men.
He said a lot of disgusting words!
[We are all country bumpkins, only Yumo has been to Shanghai Paramount, and she dances well!]
All women echoed.
[When Yumo jumps, the Clay Bodhisattva will jump to life for her...]
[More than just jumping alive, the Clay Bodhisattva will also have an ordinary mind!]
【When Yu Mo jumps, I want to hug her——】
In their stomata, all the women were laughing so hard.
[Miss Yumo, our brother who escaped from death please give me a dance. You shouldn’t be embarrassed, right? 】
[That is, live one day at a time. If the Japanese invaders come tonight, we will not have tomorrow!]
[Who doesn’t know that there is a Cangyu Tower in Jinling, and there is a Zhao Yumo in the Cangyu Tower, let me feast my eyes on it!]
[I’m old and my pearls are yellow, and I can’t twist anymore.]
Xia Yu dances gracefully in the camera, but in just two shots, it cuts to the pores again, and only part of her figure can be seen through the pores. What is a real beauty like? She must stand with all her facial features.
In front of you, or naked?
No! Chen Lin shook his head. A real beauty can make people stunned even if she is "still holding a pipa and half-hiding her face"!
In the air hole, "Zhao Yumo" twists his graceful figure, first his waist, buttocks, then his breasts wrapped in cheongsam, and his almost flawless face. In fact, only half of it can be seen, his delicate nose and chin!
When they saw this paragraph, Comrade Xia Dongfeng, classmate Xia Yi, and Ms. Yu Heng couldn't help but stare at Xia Yu unkindly. The eyes of the three of them were slightly angry. Xia Yu felt their gazes and turned his head.
He hugged Mrs. Zhuang next to him tightly.
Unlike Xia Yu's relatives who were either angry or stunned in the group, most of the moviegoers present, both male and female, were attracted by the beautiful and gorgeous dance with the camera through the pores. Their eyes were full of amazement and excitement.
Intoxicated!
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. When they came to their senses, they were almost in the same state as Meng Shujuan, who was already sweating heavily on the screen. In the vents, Zhao Yumo and Dai Tao danced a dance called Rumba, and in the end Dai Tao was defeated.
, Zhao Yumo was unwilling to give up.
This short dance was not done in the most direct way, but in such a sideways way.
But instead of reducing Zhao Yumo's charm, it actually made her beauty even better——
Zhuang He's films have always been full of satire on reality and criticism of human nature. Without exception, they are all heavy, but under the heavy theme, there is no lack of side descriptions, the rare true feelings in reality, and the beauty of finding your way back after getting lost in human nature, but
No one expected that this time, this kind of sideways and obscure expression would bloom like this through the lens!
The story of this kind of lens is undoubtedly very exciting. This is the charm of Zhuang He's movies!
In the underground warehouse, people were living in a state of revelry, and the shimmering light shone on Meng Shujuan's immature face. She was extremely disappointed with these soldiers!
This "luxurious" feast lasted until early in the morning. Just when everyone was about to go to sleep, Dai Tao invited Zhao Yumo to visit the church yard. The two looked at each other, one with tenderness in his eyes, and the other with radiance of hope.
"Okay!" Zhao Yumo's voice was undoubtedly very moving.
Zhao Yumo liked this officer, and Dai Tao was obviously attracted to Zhao Yumo.
In the underground warehouse, almost everyone was drunk, and only two people were still sober; Dai Tao's face was very red, while Zhao Yumo had a wisp of bright red on his face, especially his eyes.
A move.
Everyone, including Chen Lin, would probably give their hearts to this woman named Zhao Yumo.
Everyone thought this was a "fragrant and gorgeous" night outing, but they didn't expect that the two of them actually adhered to the etiquette and music and wandered in the church yard. The most intimate contact between the two was actually because they walked along the collapsed stairs.
, while climbing towards the bell tower, Zhao Yumo slipped.
That night, the two talked a lot.
[Can the Qinhuai River be seen through a telescope?]
[I'm not looking for it, and besides, it's not my home. I'm thinking about... cigarettes!]
【Just right, I also want to smoke】
Cigarettes are the prelude to hawking, and soon there will be wonton and noodle stalls, and fried stinky tofu stalls hawking. They can find a good place, have a dinner now, and find a dance hall to dance a bit!
The two looked at each other from time to time, hesitating to speak, their eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness——
[It’s also fate. Otherwise, how could I, a small assistant member of mine, date you, Miss Yumo?]
【Have you ever asked out on a date with me? How do you know you can’t date me? 】
[Didn’t I invite you to the observation tower? 】
【Does this count?】
【Why doesn't it count?】
【Of course not】
[Then it doesn’t count... I’ll wait until I ask you to have dinner or dance with you later!]
[I remember, if you don’t keep your word, if you don’t come to ask me out, I will...]
【What do you want?】
【I'm going to date you.】
[A woman dating a man?] He chuckled.
[This is my first time dating a man in my life, so you better be careful]
【Then I remember it too】
[Remember what? Tell it again and let me listen]
[Remember that Jinling beauty Zhao Yumo wants to date me, and I can’t die just because of this!]
But he died in the end.
In just one hour, there were ups and downs. First, Cardamom went back to Cuixilou to get the pipa string in order to play a pipa for Wang Pusheng. He got the pipa string, but was discovered by the Japanese invaders. Because he couldn't bear the humiliation and resisted, he was stabbed to death by the Japanese invaders!
Even the foreigners present during that episode felt the inhuman cruelty and couldn't help but feel angry!
Then came the deaths of Li Quanyou and Wang Pusheng, the exposure of the female students in the church, and another "hunt".
In order to protect the women in the church, Dai Tao also died, and his death was spectacular.
He didn’t leave after all——
The following scenes made all the Chinese people at the scene red-eyed.
Then came Xu Xiaoyu, but her father came to pick her up.
But in the end, after leaving the church, her father was shot dead, and she and her classmates became the targets of the Japanese invaders...
The movie has reached its climax: the female students are exposed and unwilling to become prisoners of the Japanese invaders. They will attend some bullshit Christmas dinner and sing some lousy songs. Under the organization of Meng Shujuan, they are determined to die to prove their ambition.
Want to be defiled!
As a result, in order to stabilize these female students and to repay these female students, Zhao Yumo stepped forward and said, "I will go for you!"
She didn't decide for anyone else, she only decided for herself, but she undoubtedly planted the seeds.
At this point, moviegoers have probably guessed that these thirteen kiln sisters are going to attend the banquet for these thirteen female students!
The movie came here and entered its final ending - it came to Fabi's branch line. Of course he disagreed. In his opinion, Zhao Yumo and the others' lives were also their lives. In particular, he was also attracted to Zhao Yumo.
It's a pity that God has no control, and there is not much time for them to prepare.
After a period of struggle, all the sisters agreed to attend the dinner for the female students.
The exquisite hand-pushed corrugated squares were permed into childlike hair - at this moment, these are a dozen Qinhuai River women with immature faces and faded charm. In the eyes of the audience, they are equally beautiful!
They put on the clothes of female students and sang "Qin Huai Scene" in the narrow underground warehouse. One was to commemorate Cardamom, and the other was to commemorate themselves.
They were picked up quickly.
Underground warehouse.
The colorful female students are waiting for Fabi's return in the basement.
【Can we...can escape?】
【Can we come back?】
【What else can we do...】
【Have you seen them?】
Every murmur in a low voice is like waiting for God's judgment, and it is also a prayer.
Everyone was touched.
There were very few people who cried, but none of them did not have a heavy heart and a bitter taste in their mouth.
The female students trembled in fear.
It is also the voice of everyone.
It was also at this time that everyone finally realized that they could not help but think back to the previous episode where the woman from the Qinhuai River was "intoxicated and obsessed with life"...
