I've been stuck on my writing these days, so I didn't have time to finish it. Now the first draft is full of typos and wrong sentences. I'll think about it again, and everyone will read it tomorrow morning. I'm sorry.
…………
On the tarmac of a certain Army Aviation Regiment of the Yanjing garrison, a Z-8 transport type that had just landed stopped. As soon as it stopped, a figure jumped down impatiently, then covered his mouth and quickly ran to the grass on the side, spitting out "Wow"
.
This figure was naturally Zhong Yunqing, who was training on a helicopter for the first time. Originally, this guy thought that with his strong body, he could quickly adapt to the flight, but the reality was shocking. Not long after he took off, he became airsick due to fear of heights.
Being able to endure it until he landed and said "Wow" is already a sign of his strong willpower.
After all, Chu Xuan, who came with him, had been there and had already guessed that this guy would encounter this kind of situation. So when Zhong Yunqing came here for training, Chu Xuan contacted the medical team stationed at the Army Aviation Regiment and sent two
The medics come here and wait...
At this time, Zhong Yunqing had almost vomited. Two young medical soldiers ran over with medicine boxes on their backs, patted his back and asked softly:
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
After vomiting, Zhong Yunqing felt much better. He stood up and used his feet to scoop up the sand to cover the filth. He rinsed his mouth with the mineral water handed to him, took a deep breath and responded:
"Much better. It turns out that riding this thing is really not easy. As soon as I look down, I feel like the world is spinning, just like the first time I rode in an armored personnel carrier. But at that time, I was vomiting and vomiting and got used to it...
…”
Zhong Yunqing himself had never thought about being afraid of heights. After all, he had never climbed slowly like a helicopter before when flying, so he felt fine.
But after I vomited, I slowly got used to it, and I felt that airsickness and motion sickness were almost the same.
When he was training in the armored vehicle, he also vomited like crazy. The next day, he was forced to board the vehicle by the squad leader. After shaking it a few times, he got better, and then he gradually got used to it...
Maybe his body will slowly adapt to this process. In order to film this MV well and leave a good impression on the military bosses, he risked his life.
Of course, it wasn't just him who risked his life this time, the Army Group also spent a lot of money. You must know that the price of aviation fuel for helicopters is much higher than that of ordinary fuel. Moreover, the wear and tear maintenance of parts after the helicopter takes off must be included in the calculation.
, these overt and covert losses may exceed one million.
Coupled with the various expenses involved in shooting the MV, this is also very painful for the Army Air Force, whose current military expenditures are not as generous as those of later generations.
However, it can be seen from this point alone that Zhong Yunqing's song this time is very suitable for the appetite of General Chu, a military boss, and it also makes him attach great importance to the MV that Zhong Yunqing is going to shoot.
In fact, Zhong Yunqing's inspiration for taking a bird's-eye view of the sky came from the scene where the coffins of the "Zhi, Yuan, Army" loyalists in Tuli returned by plane. The souls of several heroes discussed where the high-rise buildings below were, and then they saw the five-star red flag...
So since the theme of this song is remembrance, it is necessary to create an effect that cannot be expressed in cartoons in this song, so that the martyrs can see the peace and prosperity of the country that they sacrificed their lives for, and the prosperity of the motherland now.
.
In particular, I think of a movie I watched in later generations, in which an actor played the role of Duke Zhou, who was 90% similar to historical photos of him when he was young! It makes people cry inexplicably when they see it.
So, could it be that, through the eyes of these people who are very similar to them, they may be looking at the prosperity of the motherland that they have fought for all their lives at different times and places...
…………
Over the next week, after systematic high-intensity training, Zhong Yunqing gradually adapted to his fear of heights during helicopter takeoff and landing. At least he no longer felt dizzy when looking at the ground.
Everything is ready, and the filming of the MV to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the army has officially started in full swing.
The first thing that needed to be shot was the helicopter shots. He wanted to take a military helicopter along the urban route and shoot several aerial panoramic views in the bustling neighborhoods and the Heroes Monument.
So this time, he was the only one who brought a high-performance camera and shot a bird's-eye view of Yanjing from the sky through the hanging window on Zhiba.
The helicopter pilots of the Army Airlines were very skilled, and the camera never felt shaken. The filming of this section went very smoothly.
Then came the live shooting part of the plot. In order to meet the deadline this time, most of the scene construction was completed at the army's exercise venue.
One thing to say is that in 2007, our army was the only one that could handle it. The navy and air force were not at the same level as the US military and the Russian army. They were even more different than the other two armies.
After all, in 2007, Rabbit had not yet perfected the Dongfeng Family Bucket. The Air Force did not have the J-20 and a complete air combat system. Netizens were still dreaming about using the J-8 and the American F22 to fight in the air with bayonets.
Not to mention the Navy. It has not yet launched a large-scale dumpling, and only relies on two shield ships to dominate the scene. Military fans are also dreaming about using stealth missile boats for offshore defense to ambush the old US aircraft carrier formation with a saturation attack.
.
The big reason why public knowledge was so popular back then was because the all-round gap between the Chinese and American militaries was so huge that people were desperate. Many people chose to kneel down.
But the above does not include our army's engineers! You must know that Rabbit's engineers are definitely the strongest construction team on the surface.
In just one week, the Army Engineering Corps had completed the construction of several scenes conceived by Zhong Yunqing on the edge of the exercise ground as expected.
It includes battlefield restorations of several famous combat heroes. For example, the scene where "*****" sacrificed his life to blow up a bunker; "*****" blocked the gun and performed the fortifications of the chain of bunkers.
There will also be a restored scene of the tunnel scene in the movie "Shangganling" where I sing "My Motherland", and it is the top priority. Zhong Yunqing also has arrangements.
Of course, these scenes are only part of it.
After the scene was set up, Liu Feibao also came to the set.
Sisi and Ying Bao, who were discussing shooting techniques, came up to him together, and the girls they hadn't seen for a long time chatted for a while as if no one else was around.
Until Zhong Yunqing came over and took the script to touch up Liu Yifei and said:
"Sissi, it's like this. Our plot is expected to be filmed for about three days. There are some scenes where you and Sisi will live together during this period. Each small plot requires you to sing to match it in the scene.
lyrics. When the time comes, I will select the segments with the best sound quality and edit them one by one."
Fei Bao seemed to understand the song. But looking at the ratio of male and female actors at the scene, she was still looking forward to this song.
"Okay, Director Zhong, I understand."
After discussing with her, Zhong Yunqing originally conceived this six-minute MV short film like this:
First of all, in the quiet part of the opening and chorus, several paragraphs of heroes that are familiar to the public will be added. Each of these heroes is a short story of a unit. Although it may only last ten or twenty seconds, these people are all
That kind of story, every one of them is familiar to people.
Therefore, his idea is that each lyric is connected by real-life scenes. Originally, it was difficult for this theme to attract Fei Bao to sing while walking, and then shuttle between various scenes, allowing the audience to follow along.
Watching the MV images and lyrics creates an image of the character that stays in your mind like watching a short movie.
For example, the scene of the "Nanchang" uprising, the scene of the "*****" sacrificing their lives to blow up the bunker. In the movie "Shang Gan Ling", the part about the singing in the tunnel was written by Zhong Yunqing.
It is also the top priority in the conception.
At that time, Zhong Yunqing and his reconnaissance company will re-act this part. It is expected that he will mainly play the blind instructor. Chu Xuan will play the role of the company commander in his true role, and the other soldiers will be played by other comrades.
There was a half-minute gap after Feibao finished singing the first chorus. In this chorus, the health worker played by Sisi will sing "Two Sentences of My Motherland", and then the camera will scan the lines of "Shang, Gan, Ling"
After a while, Liu Yifei continued singing the next section.
The National Day version of the previous life started with a deafening announcement at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, but when it was changed to the army founding version, Zhong Yunqing changed the first scene shot to the Nanchang Uprising. The shot was of General Manager Zhou making the announcement by the city wall.
The image of the uprising.
This section is based on the story of the founding of the army, where we hold a revolver and fire three shots in a row.
At this point in the plot, the entire reconnaissance company has put on the uniforms of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and is surrounded by all kinds of fortifications and guns.
Not to mention, it is a joy to have the support of the military. The various props used in filming every scene are very exquisite. Even if it is made in Hanyang on the back of an ordinary soldier, from the touch to the various details, it is definitely not like those of later generations.
The equipment of the Divine Drama is comparable!
Moreover, he was not alone in this filming. He also received full support from Bayi Film Studio. Those who were transferred to follow him in filming were basically the elite behind-the-scenes staff of this film studio.
And that's not all. There is one most important factor. In order to shoot the scene of charging in the night, the division mobilized soldiers from various companies who were not on duty to prepare for combat. Nearly a thousand soldiers participated in the performance of this MV. They all wore Eighth Route Army uniforms.
.
The other thing that Zhong Yunqing struggled with at first was that the MV involved the appearance of the heroes themselves. Except for the true image of the hero, all the other fighting heroes were played by actors recruited by Zhong Yunqing. For example, the ones everyone has heard since childhood: "**
***”, “*****”, “*****”, “*****” these famous martyrs.
Anyway, during the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these heroes had to use familiar actors to recreate their characters. Zhong Yunqing still used people he was familiar with. After all, there is no conflict between remembering the martyrs and promoting the virtuous without avoiding relatives. This song was made into a MV, and added
Liu Yifei
Among them, Lao Hu plays the role of "*****"; although he occasionally makes jokes, before deciding to take over this character, he still systematically understood it and is very much looking forward to it.
Another fighting hero "*****" was filmed by Yuan Hong.
The sequence of the series of bunkers is so eye-catching. To play such a warrior well requires not only acting skills, but also whether the actor can enter history and act in a way that fits the character's image and personality traits.
As for "****", Zhong Yunqing chose Baoqiang.
In the first half of 2007, Bao Qiang almost became famous despite the constant popularity and replays of Soldier Assault, but he had no special acting appointments during this period. When he heard that Zhong Yunqing was doing such meaningful things
, naturally happily chose to join.
Then there is Ying Bao. She participated in "****" with a scene of more than ten seconds. Fortunately, she had already cut her hair short in the army, which made it much easier to act. In order to film this heroic scene for more than ten seconds,
Ying Bao also put a lot of effort into the plot.
Filming this episode was a bit dangerous. Although Baoqiang was put in a cotton-padded suit with a heat-insulating layer from a firefighting suit, Zhong Yunqing still wanted to test the safety first if he was really going to be burned by fire.
So he put on the same attire and tried it in front of Bao Qiang. The flame burned on his back for about five minutes before the burning sensation gradually appeared. The safety was pretty good. Now he felt relieved, and so did Bao Qiang.
Finally, there was the expected gathering of veterans from various periods. Led by the military, more than 30 veterans of the War of Resistance and Aid to Korea who were still alive were contacted one after another. The time when the monkey was printed was relatively recent, so
There are many more veterans who are still alive. There are almost more than two hundred.
These veterans who have spent their remaining lives in battles will gather at the Monument to the People's Heroes. The last set of shots has been completed in the camp and they will gather in military uniforms.
The last three screens are:
The Japanese surrendered, the Americans ceased war in Korea, and they also made bold statements in their self-defense counterattack against India: instead of surrendering, the enemy dared to fight back at me!
with lyrics
The position behind Zhong Yunqing was already covered with the corpses of his comrades and Japanese soldiers. He was covered in scars and his face was full of perseverance. He tremblingly picked up his rifle with a bayonet and launched the final charge towards the enemy alone...
And behind him, the vague heroic spirits of countless comrades-in-arms followed closely...
In addition, Zhong Yunqing remembered watching a video in his previous life, a chorus of more than two hundred founding generals of our army. Of course, he also wanted to cut this into the MV as an "Anti-Secession Law" module.
…………
The last part is the shot of the phalanx of veterans from various periods saluting.
Many of them were indeed too old to come here, and we contacted more than 400 people in total.
None of these veterans are actors, but they have all fought against the enemy with real swords and guns. The love that every veteran of the older generation has for the country and the military flag cannot be understood by young people like us who have been in peace for a long time.
…………
Liu Yifei sang several times before and Zhong Yunqing was not very satisfied. It’s not that Fei Bao was successful.
"Sissi, when singing this song, you must put all your emotions into it and don't hold anything back."
Feibao walks slowly in every scene.
Such a scene is indeed very easy to get into, and tears slowly flashed in her eyes.
