Turn on the TV, there are also reports on the TV, don’t forget the national humiliation on September 18th.
At the same time, it tells the history of the fourteen years of the Anti-Japanese War.
Suddenly the little guy pointed at the TV and said, "Dad, I remember this place. Our teacher took us there."
Li Yi heard the words and looked at the TV. At this time, the TV was talking about the battle to defend the Sihang Warehouse. In the picture, the dense bullet holes in the Sihang Warehouse made Li Yi involuntarily think of one sentence: Every
The bullet holes all tell the story of the perseverance of the eight hundred warriors!
Pictures flashed at the same time, each picture was extremely heroic.
Perhaps the Battle of Sihang Warehouse was not the most brutal battle in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, but it was equally great.
It is obviously inappropriate to look at the "Eight Hundred Warriors" from the perspective of their achievements. The reason why they later became heroes and were unanimously recognized was mainly because they "decided to fight alone to the death". This spirit is reflected in almost all the heroes.
Time and space are recognized.
Geng Gong of the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns alone, and when he was rescued and returned to Yumen Pass, only 13 of his men were left.
This is what people are familiar with, Thirteen Generals Return to Jade Gate!
During the Tang Dynasty, the Anxi lone army guarded the border for the country for 45 years, and finally all died in battle.
A lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white hair!
Although some people say that Sihang Warehouse is a war of resistance with misplaced hope.
But in Li Yi's view, what is important and respectable is the patriotic enthusiasm and everlasting hope of the martyrs.
Because at that time, these people indeed held the belief of "determined to die and fight alone."
In the evening, Li Yi sat in front of the computer and began to search for relevant information about the defense battle of Sihang Warehouse.
Although several related movies come to mind, it is certainly impossible for Li Yi to copy them directly.
To be honest, the more he learned about this period of history, the more hesitant Li Yi became.
Because, in his memory, he was a little confused by the ending arrangements of several movies about the Battle of Sihang Warehouse and Eight Hundred Heroes.
The story and the battle scenes were easy to tell during the Sihang Warehouse defense battle, but it was difficult to shoot later.
Because few people know that from a certain perspective, in real history, the subsequent experiences of the Eight Hundred Heroes were far more tragic than those in the movie.
In real history, the number of 800 warriors who participated in the defense of Sihang Warehouse was actually 452. 4 died in the battle and 6 died in the retreat. More than 200 enemies were wiped out, and only 10 people died in the battle. But by 1945
At the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 2001, only about 100 of them were able to return to the Shai Sea.
Li Yi also found out about the past eight years after the Four Elements Defense War, when the eight hundred warriors were missing, they suffered humiliation but still shined.
After the Four Lines Defense War, the then battalion commander, Battalion Commander Yang, was lying on the hospital bed and told the reporters who came to interview the heroes. "Unfortunately, not many enemies were eliminated. We have neither succeeded nor become benevolent."
Although the ward has long been flooded with countless spotlights and flower handkerchiefs sent by female students, the hero himself is unwilling to accept it calmly.

The so-called heroes may be like Wei Qing who opened up new territories, or like Yue Fei who sacrificed his life to serve his country. Making achievements and sacrificing one's life for righteousness always come first. How can there be a hero who has "neither succeeded nor become benevolent"?
The Chinese on the other side are watching, looking at the warriors who will never make it through!
Therefore, if you want to film this period of history and this story, the last part is the most difficult to make.
Li Yi can also understand why the original version had General Xie return to the bridge at the end, because this traditional heroic narrative of "failure is worse than death" is deeply engraved in the collective cognition of the Chinese people!
Therefore, in the original film, until the end of the film, the director was reluctant to let the hero cross the bridge leading to the concession.
But if this were the case, Li Yi felt that he would not be able to accept it if it were him.
Because just because they didn't die on the battlefield, are they not heroes?
Without intensive death, the story of Eight Hundred Soldiers would not be enough to appear on the screen.
But if you want to take pictures, how should you take pictures?
He felt a little headache.
Eight hundred and four days of bloody fighting, but they don’t know that eight hundred and half of their lives were wasted.
From a movie perspective, there is nothing wrong with filming this way, but this is still a true historical adaptation, so this is very problematic.
Therefore, this is also the most troublesome place for Li Yi.
After all, the movie cannot be made that long, and to put it bluntly, the audience may not be willing to watch the subsequent plot.
But if it were shot according to the original version, it would be a bit anticlimactic.
In the days that followed, Li Yi continued to check a lot of relevant information, and also watched some movies from this world related to the defense battle of Sihang Warehouse.
But still haven't been able to make a final decision.
It’s so hard to decide!
"What's wrong? You've always looked sad lately?" Li Yi's reaction was noticed by Mu Qing.
"Recently, I suddenly wanted to make a movie about "The Battle of Sihang Warehouse and the Eight Hundred Heroes", but it was a bit of a headache," Li Yi said.
"What?" Mu Qing was confused.
"Eight Hundred Heroes in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, take a look at these materials." Li Yi said and handed the information he compiled to his wife.
Mu Qing picked it up and read it.
After a long time, she put down the information and said, "So, what is your problem?"
"Focus on the key points!" Li Yi said.
"What should you focus on?" Mu Qing asked with a frown.
"Yes, focus on the tragic four days on the battlefield, or focus on the eight years after the war!" Li Yi said.
"If we focus on the four days and four nights of the Sihang Warehouse defense battle, how will it end?
If you focus on the physical humiliation after the war and not give in, not flee privately, not be disorganized, not join the puppet army, and not fight the civil war, then I don't know what is going on. I always think that it is easy to die for the country, but to remain true to one's ambitions
Difficult. But apart from death, there are actually too many things worth moving." Li Yi said with a headache.
"Actually, didn't you make a good choice in "Wreaths Under the Mountains"?" Mu Qing said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Li Yi seemed to have caught something, but he seemed to have caught nothing.
"Both are equally important! Since you think the eight years after the war were equally touching, why didn't you film them together?"
"Didn't you do a great job in the second half of the film "Garland Under the Mountain"?" Mu Qing said.
"This..." Li Yi fell into deep thought.
Yes, why not shoot together?
Why was the original film shot like that? Why did it focus on four days and four nights, but ended abruptly in the end?
Because you're worried about box office?
Or is it because you are worried that without intensive death, the story of the Eight Hundred Warriors will not be enough to make it to the screen?
But do I need to care about this?
It doesn't seem necessary!
Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, why should I worry about it?
Why bother?
Worried about being scolded? Worried about movie box office?
It can be said that he really doesn’t need to worry at all! Because he is Li Yi.
Perhaps from an investor's point of view, from a business point of view, filming the cruelty of four days and four nights is enough, but does he need it?
However, in this case, the script will need to be re-planned!
