The footage from the program crew of "Things About the Movie" clearly records the expressions of every member of the "War Meridian" crew.
The photographer, with red eyes, guided the photography assistant to adjust the shooting angle and position of the camera.
Guo Danian, the old clerk, took a puff of his cigarette while holding a sign in his hand, but his eyes were red.
Li Yizheng was standing on top of a "cliff", pointing to the cliff and talking to a young actor with a dirty face, wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform, and tears in his eyes.
His own eyes were also red.
In fact, although the movie has many scenes in which young soldiers sacrifice their lives, these two scenes today are undoubtedly the most, most, and most uncomfortable scenes in the entire movie.
"Okay, all departments are in their positions, pay attention to safety! Get ready to start filming!" Li Yi finished explaining the scene to the actors, and then shouted loudly.
As Li Yi's voice fell, the crew immediately began to move.
This scene was filmed because the nurse wanted to find some food for everyone, but the sound of her gunshot attracted a group of Japanese.
The "artistic troupe" or "Bell", or the little warrior of "Hua'er", went out to pick flowers. In order to attract the Japs, she fired the grenade, and then ran as hard as she could, and finally she hung on the cliff to hide.
A Japanese search was launched, but she could no longer climb up.
When the sun set, her body was already stiff, and she cried: "Mom, mom..."
No miracle occurred. Her body was hanging in the air, her hands tightly grasping a rock that was extending her life, but her life was passing by in her hands. Finally, she was tired and had no strength left, so she fell into the cliff.
If Li Yi was asked to describe the most heart-wrenching scene in the entire film, it would definitely be this one.
The sacrifice of the art troupe can be said to be the most painful and unforgettable.
Because this sacrifice lasted the longest, and the words "Mom" were enough to hurt everyone's heart.
Why is the atmosphere on the set so solemn and why does everyone have tears in their eyes?
Just because they had already experienced that kind of despair once during the performance.
Fang Nan and the others did not go over to disturb Li Yi's filming.
Instead, he stood not far away and watched.
Soon, the filming of this scene started.
The young actor who played the role of the "artistic troupe" grabbed the rocks on the "cliff" with both hands, and his body was suspended in mid-air.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a real cliff, and there is no problem with safety.
Below, there is a team of people who have taken safety measures early. The actors who play the role of the cultural troupe also have wires hanging from their bodies. Of course, during the filming, these will be avoided by the camera and the lights, making people feel that it is really happening.
On top of the cliff.
However, even so, this scene is still a huge challenge for the 13-year-old actor Li Xuebing who plays the role of the "Art Troupe".
Because Wia was hanging her up just to prevent her safety if she really fell, and would not give her any help.
In order to make the shooting scene more realistic, in this scene, she was really hanging on the "cliff" and grabbing the rock. It can be said that unless the shooting failed, everything is real.
Therefore, the expression on her face and her difficulty will be real.
"Security team, pay attention to safety! Don't let anything happen!" Li Yi couldn't help but warned him again.
"War Meridian Chapter 121, third shot, first time, a!" Mr. Guo Danian shouted loudly, and then closed the slate with force with a "click"!
At this moment, Li Yi stood behind the monitor and looked at the picture. Li Xuebing grabbed the stone on the edge of the cliff with both hands.
This is a distant view, and above, a group of extras playing devils are looking around.
The child was hanging in the air, and the Japanese did not notice it.
Maybe people who don't know the plot behind it, watching this scene, can't help but praise the child for being so clever.
Soon the Japs found no one and left cursing.
But the child tried her best to climb up, but her small size, her tiny arms, and her thin body that had been hungry for a long time made it impossible for her to climb up.
"Woooooooo..." Li Xuebing cried desperately.
One moment she may have been a brave soldier who fired a grenade resolutely to distract the Japs, but the next moment, this moment, she was just a child.
She was scared, she was desperate, she didn't know what to do, and suddenly, when she was struggling, her shoe fell off.
She was extremely scared, but what could she do at this time?
The Japanese were still far away, and her comrades and friends could not get through at all. She could only cry out in despair: "Mom, mom..."
The entire crew was silent, but everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths for fear of making themselves cry.
The mother cried and called, but she didn't get any response.
Under the setting sun, on the cliff, there was only her voice calling her mother with tears in her eyes, desperately, sadly, or with hope.
Although she clearly knew that this was just filming and she would not really die, at this moment, everyone was caught up in the drama.
Under the setting sun, the yellowed picture seems to be frozen forever.
There is a shot that repeatedly looks up from the perspective of the little girl, but the mother does not appear.
"Click..."
Finally, the rock she grabbed onto broke, as if unwilling to let such a small life continue to endure the torment of despair.
She fell off the cliff...
"Ka! Quick, look at the child." Li Yi shouted loudly while shouting to stop.
"Okay, the child is fine!" the safety team reported loudly after successfully catching Li Xuebing who was hanging by Wia.
Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This scene was not easy to shoot, both technically and emotionally. It was definitely not easy to shoot!
At this time, a figure ran towards the child crazily.
That was Li Xuebing's mother. Li Xuebing's mother was also an actor. Before filming this final scene, she was notified by Li Yi and others.
This kind of play is not that easy for children, so Li Yi specially invited Li Xuebing's mother over.
The purpose is to allow her mother to comfort her at the end of the filming.
Of course, this scene was definitely a huge torment for Li Xuebing’s mother, especially when she heard her daughter crying and calling her mother in despair.
She wanted to run over and hug the child immediately, but she held back.
When Li Xuebing threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly, everyone could no longer hold back and sobbed loudly.
Because Li Xuebing can still cry in her mother's arms, but in the film's art troupe, she will never see her mother again, even at the last moment of her life!
