At the gate of Pujiang Meiying Factory, at the feet of Jiang Shan and deputy director Yan Dingxian, 2 or 3 cigarette butts had fallen.
Just when Jiang Shan was about to take another one, Yan Dingxian reached out and patted him: "Here we come."
Not far away, a bus slowly stopped at the gate of Meiying Studio.
Before the car door opened, the sound of chirping came over.
You don't need to look to know that this is a cart full of children.
Sure enough, after the door opened, a group of 7 or 8-year-old primary school students jumped out of the bus.
Everyone is jumping up and down with joy, looking happier than the Chinese New Year.
Today, in order to recruit some extras for the program at Meiying Studio, Jiang Shan specially invited all of Jiang Xiaoyu’s classmates to come over and add to the fun.
With the help of the intermediary Comrade Jiang Hai, a whole class of students and teachers who strongly expressed "I do" were picked up by a bus.
Looking at these little monkeys being released from the mountain, Jiang Shan and Director Yan didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, a female teacher wearing a red plaid coat stood in front of the children with a straight face:
"Let me see who is still talking now?"
"Who else?"
"Students from Class 2(1), arrange them for me two by two."
"We will go in after there is no sound at all..."
With a few crackling words, more than 30 children became honest at a glance.
Even Jiang Xiaoyu, who was standing in the team, didn't dare to look at his third uncle.
"You are classmate Jiang Xiaoyu's uncle, right?"
After arranging the children in the class, the head teacher looked at Comrade Jiang Shan who was standing at the door in an amiable manner:
"Thank you for the invitation. To be honest, the children in our class have never participated in such a meaningful activity!"
The key is I heard it can even be on TV.
Looking at the kind smile of the young female teacher, Jiang Shan also put on a kind smile:
"If the children like it, we can organize several more similar activities in the future,"
After speaking, he turned around and introduced: "This is Director Yan of our Meiying Factory..."
After that, under the suppression of the two female teachers, the subsequent filming work went smoothly.
The students from Class 2(1) lined up hand in hand and visited the studios of the Meiying Studio one by one.
In order to cooperate with today's shooting, as long as they are more classic cartoon drawings, they will be moved here.
Groups of workers from the Meiying Studio gathered together, showing off their creative postures in those days.
As the camera advances step by step:
The miniature set of "Ma Liang", the ink drawing of "Tadpole Looking for Mom", the paper-cut collection of "Monkey Fishing for the Moon", the photos of Mogao Grottoes of "Nine-Colored Deer", the puppet family portrait of "Smart Avanti"
…
Under the leadership of Director Yan, the children seemed to have entered an animation world.
"That's the look,"
Jiang Shan, who was following him, quietly said to director Wang Yang: "Can you animate them all according to their current appearance?"
"You want..." Wang Yang chewed Jiang Shan's words carefully: "make the children's visit an animation?"
"Don't be too particular," Jiang Shan really meant: "I want these children to gradually enter the world of animation after entering the Meiying Studio..."
"I guess that's what you mean,"
As a senior director at the American Film Studio, Wang Yang’s thinking is also very dreamy:
"No problem, this is our specialty. I'll give you a call when it's done."
"Then it's hard work, Director Wang."
"How can you thank me?" Wang Yang said, "Come to think of it, our factory hasn't thanked you properly yet..."
…
Xiangjiang Clear Water Bay, Shaw Brothers.
Huang Zhan, who arrived with the script in hand, was already sitting face to face with Run Run Shaw in a room.
At this moment, Huang Zhan, holding a cup of coffee, quietly watched every move on the opposite side.
After wiping the glasses in her hands, Run Run Shaw put the gold-rimmed glasses up again.
After gently turning over two pages, Huang Zhan looked at Uncle Six in front of him and was suddenly startled: "Is this...?"
"You continue to read on," Huang Zhan reminded by the way: "Everything in this script is adapted from real events..."
Like the script of "Music and Peace", what Run Run Shaw is holding now is also a storyboard with both pictures and text.
Therefore, Run Run Shaw, who had just opened the script, seemed to have seen a feature film that was slowly playing...
The gray-yellow tone of the picture takes the viewer into scenes of the Anti-Japanese War.
[Izumo, the largest cruiser of the Japanese Navy.
The ship is equipped with 38 cannons of various calibers and 4 torpedoes.
In order to sink this Japanese warship that the Chinese people hate the most, all walks of life in China really tried their best.
It's a pity that this Japanese ship always drifts back to the Chinese coastline like a zombie.
For this reason, the Chinese Air Force received a fatal order to "let it disappear completely"...]
As soon as the page turned, several Chinese soldiers wearing air force uniforms were questioning a captured Japanese officer in an unavoidable tone:
"What method should I use to blow up the Chuyun with the minimum cost of casualties?"
Avoiding the direct gaze of the Chinese soldiers, the captured Japanese soldiers dodged their eyes for a few moments and then sighed.
He replied in broken Chinese: "Only man and machine are integrated... There is no other way."
"But I heard..."
The Chinese noncommissioned officer in front of him did not seem to be frightened by the answer: "Is the Izumo's anti-aircraft firepower almost impenetrable?"
"Ah,"
The Japanese prisoner sneered, feeling like he couldn't even consider that step.
He looked at the Chinese officers and soldiers opposite and asked with a smile: "First of all, who of you dares to stand up now? Who dares to stand up?"
The meaning is obvious. Since I dare to tell you the answer, it is because this answer cannot be fulfilled.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, every officer and soldier in the inquiry room took a step forward without hesitation for a second.
"Captain, I'm going!"
"How young are you? It's not your turn."
"Don't go either. You just found a girlfriend and don't want to be responsible anymore? It's best for me to go."
"Hey~, none of you are trying to steal this pension from me..."
…
The scene turned, and under the blue sky and white clouds, old-fashioned fighter planes with serial numbers were parked in rows at the military airport.
After a series of sirens, more than a dozen pilots wearing air force leather jackets rushed to their respective fighters.
Suddenly, outside the barbed wire fence not far away.
A rich girl in a red dress waved loudly in the direction of the fighter plane: "Chen Huaimin, Chen Huaimin..."
A soldier who had just entered the cabin turned his head in response.
When he saw a red shadow not far away, he quickly shouted in that direction:
"Lulu, leave Hangzhou with your family quickly..."
"Chen Huaimin,"
The girl in the red dress ignored this sentence and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the fighter plane:
"Chen Huaimin, I like you. If you like me too, just wave to me."
The girl's words made all the officers and soldiers on the fighter plane look over.
Among them, Chen Huaimin was the most fascinated.
Excited, I just wanted to raise my hand, but held back at the last moment.
Time was running out. Although the other party did not wave, the girl in the distance quickly shouted:
"When you come back safely this time, I will marry you!"
"What did you say?" Chen Huaimin deliberately pretended not to hear: "Lulu, leave Hangzhou quickly..."
Soon, there was a roar.
As the girl watched, fighter planes shot into the blue sky resolutely.
Then, the blue sky in the picture gradually disappeared...
…
In the next storyboard, in addition to fierce battle pictures, there are also groups of pictures with text.
[They are the first generation of the Chinese Air Force. They entered the school in the same year, graduated in the same year, and died for their country in the same year.
The average age of sacrifice was 23 years old, and the youngest one was just 17 when he died...]
After a long line of air raid warning text jumped onto the screen.
The tone of the entire storyboard has become black and white.
After the September 18th Incident in 1931, the Japanese invaders captured the three northeastern provinces in just a few months.
In order to fight against the Japanese invaders and regain air supremacy, Hangzhou Jianqiao Central Aviation School was established.
The students at this aviation school all come from well-known families, and most of them come from top universities across the country.
Among them, there are many returned overseas Chinese who could have stayed away from the flames of war.
However, it is such a group of young people with prominent family backgrounds who rush to the front line to serve the country when the life and death of the country is at stake.
Jianqiao Aviation School, known as the cradle of the Chinese Air Force, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, all teachers and students swore to fight to the death against Japan.
As batches of students from aviation schools graduate, the countdown to death begins.
Just like the school's motto engraved on the stone wall: Our bodies, aircraft and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warship positions.
Such a school motto has never existed before.
In their most dazzling youth, they wrote with passion a tragic epic of "death to serve the country and never survive".
[Gao Zhihang, captain and instructor of the Chinese Air Force, shot down the first Japanese enemy plane in Chinese history.
One day, after just completing the flight training, the plane had little fuel left and the weather was bad, he resolutely led his troops to take off in an emergency to fight against the attacking enemy planes.
For thirty minutes of fierce fighting, a total of three Japanese aircraft were shot down and one was injured. However, at the last moment, he was killed by an enemy plane bomb.
On weekdays, he often has one sentence on his lips:
"As the Chinese Air Force, how can we let the enemy's planes fly overhead?"]
[Yan Haiwen, a student in the sixth batch of aviation school.
After being hit by anti-aircraft artillery, he was forced to parachute into the Japanese position by mistake.
The record holder for perfect marks in target shooting in the history of the aviation school, after killing five Japanese soldiers in a row.
With the last bullet, he ended his life at the age of 21.
The last words before shooting were: "China has no captured air force!"]
[Shen Chongjie, whose father was a justice of the Republic of China, participated in the rescue of Li Dazhao.
After graduating from Tsinghua University, he decided to enter the Central Aviation School.
In 1937, when ordered to bomb the Japanese Third Fleet.
Because the tail of the plane was hit by a bullet, Shen Chonghui, who gave up his parachute dive, directly flew the plane down and crashed into the Japanese warship Izumo.
He was only 27 years old when he died.
"My fighter plane and I are the last shells fired at the enemy."]
[Zhang Xihu, whose father Zhang Boling is one of the founders of Nankai University.
Zhang Xihu, who had dreamed of becoming an athlete since he was a child, signed up to be admitted to the Central Aviation School after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.
In 1937, Zhang Xihu, who was only 25 years old, unfortunately crashed and died for his country while performing a mission.
"Although my son is not sensitive and cannot serve his parents until he grows old, he still dare not be a sinner of our country!"]
[Chen Huaimin, 22 years old, when his fighter plane was surrounded by five enemy planes.
Abandoned the parachute, turned 180 degrees and died together with an enemy plane.
After hearing the news, his fiancée jumped into the river wearing the cheongsam he gave her and died in love.
"Every time the plane takes off, I treat it as my last flight."]
[After the four King Kongs of the Air Force, headed by Gao Zhihang, died one after another.
The flight school pilots who came one after another disappeared into the blue sky one after another.
Just after the Japanese intelligence department judged that the Chinese air force was no longer able to parry.
Japanese bombers once again drove straight into the densely populated refuge areas of Chengdu.
Suddenly, an old training plane appeared in front of them.
Weird flight path, crazy strafing pursuit, and obvious intention to hit enemy aircraft at all times.
This scene was so thrilling that it was truly recorded by the Japanese war correspondent at the time.
It turned out that after all the students died, their teacher took off alone and resolutely rushed towards the group of 32 enemy planes.
"All my students died in the war, now it's my turn as a teacher."]
Even though we knew that the Japanese fighter planes were far more powerful than ours, our pilots still faced them without hesitation.
When a fighter jet in the picture fell from the sky with thick smoke, a graduation photo of Zhang Jianqiao Aviation School jumped onto the picture.
Just like the graduation photos of other schools, rows of students in military uniforms are looking heroic and ready.
The only difference is that in this photo, there are crosses erected next to each graduate.
Walking out of school means entering the battlefield.
Take off, take off, take off again...
In order to defend China's airspace rights, they took off without hesitation and showed their swords!
Until it became the sentence in the school motto: Our bodies, aircraft and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warship positions.
There are a total of 16 batches of graduates from Jianqiao Aviation School, with a total of more than 1,700 pilots.
After all the fighting, they turned into 1,700 cold tombstones...
The tone of the picture changes again.
The sky that was once full of war gradually turned into a clear sky.
The young pilot under the blue sky and white clouds, and the girl in red beside the airport, are still fresh and lively.
"Lulu, Lulu, leave Hangzhou with your family quickly..."
"Chen Huaimin, I like you. If you like me too, just wave to me."
Just like before, the young girl's words made all the officers and soldiers on the fighter plane look over.
Just when the young pilot Chen Huaimin couldn't bear to answer...
"He likes you, Lulu."
"Lulu, Chen Huaimin likes you!"
"Did you hear that, Lulu? Chen Huaimin likes you too!"
"After we drive little Japan away, we will accompany him to marry you home..."
A whole row of young pilots in fighter planes were all waving to the girl.
They laughed, shouted...the whole airport was filled with their youthful and heroic appearance.
