As a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao Qian's plan is to shoot a TV series and a movie.
He chose the TV series "Bright Sword".
As for the movie, it fell into a short-term embarrassment.
The tribute work in my previous life was "Taihang Mountain", a very excellent military-themed movie.
However, in Xiao Qian's opinion, the shortcomings of this movie are too obvious.
The content is too broad, there are too many characters, and the stories that need to be told are too complex, resulting in the overall plot being like running water without many ups and downs, which reduces the artistry of the film.
The Chinese film industry has made many movies reflecting the anti-Japanese theme, but none of them met Xiao Qian's wishes.
After thinking about it, Xiao Qian decided to be original.
He locked himself in a quiet studio and typed on the keyboard again after a long time.
Opening scene: The boundless snowfield is dotted with flaming red plum blossoms all over the mountains and plains. In this desolate wilderness, a young woman is trudging through the snow.
When she walked into the woods, she accidentally stepped on a trap. The rope hidden under the snow caught her feet, leaving her hanging upside down in the air.
Next to her, a cold sword light pierced her with extremely fierce murderous intent.
At the critical moment, the woman pulled out the dagger and rose into the air with the help of her soft and strong waist and abdomen. While avoiding the bayonet, she swung the dagger to cut off the rope.
After the woman landed, the bayonet struck again. She blocked it with her dagger and counterattacked at the same time. The two shadows fought together in the snow.
After fighting for a while, the battle ended in a draw, and the two sides separated. The face of the attacker was revealed, and she was also a young and beautiful woman.
One is holding a dagger, horizontally in front of his face, staring at the opposite side cautiously; the other is holding a rifle with a bayonet, his head is as condensed as a mountain, with murderous intent.
The white snowflakes danced gently in the sky, making the wintersweet trees around them look more delicate and intense.
At this time, four big characters will slowly appear on the screen - "Fragrant Years".
Plot summary: In 1938, in order to break the raids of more than 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the Jiamusi area, the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces decided to march westward in order to break out of the enemy's encirclement.
At the same time, Leng Shuang, the instructor of the Women's Corps, was dispatched to the First Division to inform them of the plan.
Behind Leng Shuang's name, Xiao Qian pondered for a while and wrote the name of the actor - Xu Qing.
On the way to the First Division, Leng Shuang met An Shunxi, a female soldier of the First Division and the director of the quilt factory.
After An Shunxi's name, Xiao Qian also wrote the actor - Son Ye-jin.
The fight scene in the snow at the beginning of the film is the encounter between Leng Shuang and An Shunxi.
The camera shifted and Leng Shuang appeared at the 1st Division headquarters and conveyed the order from the military headquarters. The 1st Division began to prepare for the transfer. Leng Shuang also stayed and was responsible for the women's work of the 1st Division.
Their small team consists of eight female warriors, namely Leng Shuang, Hu Xiuzhi, Yang Guizhen, Guo Guiqin, Huang Guiqing, Wang Huimin, An Fuxi and Li Fengshan.
Among them, Hu Xiuzhi is the cadre squad leader of the Women's League. He has rich combat experience and is the backbone of everyone.
Hu Xiuzhi——Li Bingbing!
Wang Huimin is the youngest, only thirteen years old.
Wang Huimin——Jingtian!
Among the eight companions, the one who caught Leng Shuang's attention the most was An Shunxi.
This woman who is always cold and silent and constantly honing her fighting skills seems to have many stories.
The enthusiastic and cheerful Yang Guizhen (Xue Jianing) told Leng Shuang the story of An Shunxi.
It turns out that An Shunxi is a Korean and originally lived in a village called Xin'antun. His family participated in the anti-Japanese struggle very early.
However, in 1933, the enemy launched a crazy manhunt in Xin'antun, and An Shunxi's father and younger brother were unfortunately martyred.
Screen shot: On the sunny land, Anshunxi, wearing traditional Korean costumes, dances among the flowers, accompanied by flowers and birds, and Korean-style music is used in the background.
Suddenly, a cold gunshot broke the beauty.
Anshunxi suddenly turned around, only to find thick smoke billowing from the direction of the village.
She ran towards the village, and when she quietly opened the green gauze curtain, what happened in front of her made her eyes wide open.
The vicious Japanese army burned, killed and looted the village. Many villagers fell in a pool of blood, and the heads of children were picked up on bayonets. She also saw her father and younger brother being tied to pillars by the Japanese army to practice bayonets.
An Shunxi wanted to run out to save her relatives, but was grabbed tightly by a hand that suddenly stretched out.
The Japanese army was so powerful that she would only die in vain if she rushed out.
The person who saved Anshunfu was Li Qiuyue (Jin Xishan) who was in charge of the women's anti-Japanese work in Heilongjiang Province.
Unfortunately, An Shunxi's family was ruined. From then on, Li Qiuyue took An Shunxi with him and led her to fight against Japan.
But the good times did not last long. In 1936, when Li Qiuyue was working in Tonghe County, he was hunted by the enemy.
At the critical moment, she covered An Shunxi's escape, but she was caught by the Japanese army. A month later, Li Qiuyue died heroically outside the west gate of Tonghe County.
In the same year, Li Qiuyue's husband, General Yang Lin, chief of staff of the 75th Division of the 15th Red Army, was shot in the abdomen during the battle to cross the Yellow River eastward and died of serious injuries.
The couple is fierce and magnificent!
The family was destroyed, and Li Qiuyue, who cared for him the most, also died. From then on, An Shunxi completely closed his heart and only wanted to fight the Japanese and avenge his family and benefactors.
However, in the team, there is a handsome young man named Guan Shu (Shen Teng) who has a secret affection for Anshunxi and always uses humorous behavior to enlighten Anshunfu.
Over time, An Shunxi's cold and closed heart gradually began to undergo some changes. However, when the war was approaching, personal feelings could only give way.
Guan Shu received an order from the division headquarters and went to the county seat to prepare food for the troops' expedition.
Little did they know that their actions had been discovered by the Japanese.
After a fierce battle, Guan Shu and others were captured, and the Japanese Army Major Kumamoto (Huang leader) personally interrogated them.
Seeing his companions die tragically one by one in front of his eyes, Guan Shu was frightened and shaken.
With the information obtained, Major Kumamoto formulated an insidious plan.
The day of departure has arrived.
The division headquarters decided to set off with the main force first, and asked Leng Shuang and others to wait for Guan Shu to return before chasing the main force.
But Leng Shuang and others waited until dark, but did not wait for Guan Shu. Despite An Shunfu's strong objection, Leng Shuang ordered to set off immediately to catch up with the large army.
The small team of eight moved quickly, and in the middle of the night, they had arrived at the river not far from the main force.
But at this moment, Hu Xiuzhi, who had good eyesight, suddenly discovered that in the woods not far ahead of them, rows of densely packed Japanese troops were marching quietly.
Looking at the direction they were heading, it was obviously where the main force was.
At this time, in the dead of night, the large army did not know that the Japanese army was encircling them.
The situation was critical, and the entire army was in danger of being annihilated at any time. Leng Shuang made a prompt decision and raised the gun in his hand.
The deafening gunshots broke the tranquility of the night. The Japanese army's plan was completely ruined, and only then did they discover that enemies appeared on the flanks.
Major Kumamoto was furious and immediately mobilized his troops to attack Leng Shuang's eight men.
The Japanese army had fierce firepower, large numbers, and precise tactics and marksmanship. As soon as the battle began, An Shunxi's left arm was broken.
Forced by helplessness, Leng Shuang and others had no choice but to retreat while fighting.
Because of the sound of gunfire, the large army finally discovered the enemy's situation, quickly entered combat mode, and suddenly jumped out of the enemy's encirclement.
Later, it was discovered that the area of exchange of fire was as far away as the Ushun River. At dawn, the division commander used a telescope on a high hill to find Leng Shuangba Nu, who was besieged by the Japanese army by the river, and immediately organized a rescue.
At this time, Major Kumamoto discovered that the surrounded Anti-Union fighters were all women, and also noticed the rescue operations of the Anti-Union forces, so he decided to use the eight men of Leng Shuang to involve the Anti-Union forces and rearrange the encirclement network.
The arrogant Japanese army discovered that they were surrounded by women, and did not pay attention to Leng Shuang and others, and launched a fierce charge.
In their first charge, they broke into the position. Fortunately, Leng Shuang's shell gun killed many people in succession, and the others swung grenades wildly to isolate the Japanese army from subsequent charges, and the enemy was driven back.
In many anti-Japanese films and TV dramas, they always like to describe the Japanese army in a horrible way to belittle the invaders.
In fact, this gives the audience the feeling that if the enemy is so unbearable, why are we still being invaded?
Therefore, Xiao Qian specially marked it in the script, intending to faithfully show the brutal and terrifying fighting power of the Japanese army during the filming of the movie.
Only by showing more of the brutality of the invaders can the audience understand the greatness and hardship of the martyrs.
In the encirclement, the eight men of Leng Shuang struggled to repel the Japanese attacks time and time again. Outside the encirclement, the large forces organized breakthroughs again and again, but all ended in failure.
The latest time, they all reached a place less than 100 meters away from the eight girls, but they were unable to break through the Japanese firepower network, resulting in heavy casualties.
Leng Shuang noticed the abnormal movements of the Japanese army and knew that if they continued to delay, everyone would die here, so he shouted loudly, asking the large army to leave them alone and evacuate quickly.
