Chapter 259 Kong Kuanji, Ding Fried Bridge, Chu Gangchangzi
May 7, 2021 is less than half a month away from May 20, and three months and one week away from the Chinese Valentine's Day in 2021.
The moon is over Xiaoming Lake, and everything is silent outside the house.
In the bedroom, Han Jun was holding a cup of hot wolfberry drink, sitting in front of the computer and thinking hard, sorting out the writing ideas for last month's department report.
I am always very lonely when I am coding alone at night...
However, Han Jun was used to it. With his fingers crackling, it took him just over an hour to almost complete the first draft. He would polish it up tomorrow and submit it for submission.
"Well……"
After getting up and stretching, Han Jun looked at the time, it was just past ten o'clock, and his face lit up.
"Just in time for the online update of "Bright Sword"."
I chewed the remaining dozen wolfberry berries that had been soaked three times to fully utilize its medicinal properties, and then took a dozen more wolfberry pills and brewed a cup.
Han Jun is single and not very old, so he doesn’t really need wolfberry for health. He drinks wolfberry mainly for his eyes.
Wolfberry has the effect of improving eyesight. He often cannot do without computers and mobile phones in his daily work and life, which is a great harm to the eyes. Drinking wolfberry has a certain soothing and nourishing effect on the eyes.
While drinking warm wolfberry tea, Han Jun opened Penguin Video. Like Wu Jing, he was also a Penguin member, but he was still not exempt from advertisements.
After briefly greeting the Penguin executives who thought of this move, Han Jun quietly waited for the 30-second commercial.
In the 13th episode of "Drawing the Sword" just now, directly from the above, in order to save his wife and take revenge, Li Yunlong raised his entire regiment to attack Ping'an County.
At the beginning of episode 13, it did not focus on Li Yunlong, but started with Kazuki Yamamoto in Ping An County.
Yamamoto Kazuki, who has a proud temperament, never thought that Li Yunlong, a "Tuba Road", would dare to attack the county town, nor did he expect that the independent regiment would develop into an "independent division" with eight times the strength of Ping'an County town.
Although Yamamoto's special attack team was an elite force in the military, there were only a few dozen of them. Together with these troops from Ping'an County, they were simply not enough to compete with an independent regiment of several thousand people.
Yamamoto decisively asked his superiors for help. His boss Tsukamoto still valued his special forces and immediately dispatched troops to rescue.
Looking at Duan Long who was wearing a Japanese military uniform and a serious face on the screen, Han Jun nodded with appreciation.
To be honest, regardless of his position, he still quite recognized the character of Yamamoto, which fit his vision of the Japanese military elite. He was cold, arrogant and capable, and the character was well created.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that "Bright Sword" has a rare feature of anti-war dramas, that is, it does not belittle the Japanese invaders, and even gives them some glory of humanity.
For example, Ichiro Hirata would miss his mother in his hometown and cry like a child on his birthday; Kuroshima, who destroyed the cavalry company, was infected by Sun Desheng's tragic death and ordered the cavalry company to be buried with lavish ceremony.
As for Yamamoto Kazuki, the Japanese who wrote the most, there are even more complexities.
In addition to being cold and arrogant as mentioned above, he also takes good care of his subordinates and is a cold-faced and warm-hearted persona.
In addition, Yamamoto was also very far-sighted and had deep concerns about Japan's development of the Pacific War. Moreover, Yamamoto's crazy admiration for the military thought of "special warfare first" also made him a bit extreme, so that he was excluded.
It can be said that this character is very deep. The original screenwriter intended to make him the "Chu Yunfei" among Japanese people, using point to point to show the changes in Japanese thinking in that era.
It's a pity that all the Japanese characters in "Bright Sword" are in Japanese. Although it is more realistic, it also weakens the interest of most viewers.
It’s not like anyone can stare at the subtitles for several minutes to analyze the character’s thoughts, let alone a Japanese Japs.
In addition, there is another point that many fans of "Bright Sword" have criticized, that is, Yamamoto Kazuki's special operations tactics in the play are full of loopholes, and he does not look like a special operations elite at all, and his operational record is also particularly poor.
In addition to the initial sneak attack on the independent regiment led by Kong Jie, which was considered brilliant, the most noteworthy thing left is the capture of Xiu Qin, who was later destroyed by Li Yunlong's regiment.
With such a third-rate record, even though Kazuki Yamamoto was awesome in the drama, the audience didn't care at all and didn't regard him as a boss at all.
In comparison, the audience prefers the "Fateful Battle of Two Clouds" between Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei.
The screenwriter created the role of the Japanese army in this way, not to beautify the image of the invaders, but to more objectively display the positions of both sides, each is his own master, and everyone is part of the current of the times.
In addition to the Japanese army, the same is true for a certain army represented by Chu Yunfei.
It does not vilify the enemy because of its hostile stance, and sets the plot from an outsider's perspective as much as possible. This is one of the reasons why "Bright Sword" is hailed as the pinnacle of classic anti-war dramas.
………
When Yamamoto's plot ends, the scene still doesn't show much of the protagonist Li Yunlong, but is divided into several parts.
The 6th Company of the Independent Regiment is responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements while holding on.
The district team that covered the county team's removal of the Japanese stronghold in Zhangzhuang.
Alarmed by Japanese reinforcements, the troops of Ding Wei of the New Regiment, Kong Jie of the New Second Regiment, and Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
There are also the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the 386th Brigade Headquarters who are confused as to why northwest Shanxi suddenly turned into a mess.
The filming of "Bright Sword" is very clever. There are very few frontal large-scale battles. It relies entirely on the perspectives of all parties to create a large-scale sniper battle.
Except for the 6th company and the district team, the three mainstream troops of Kong, Ding, and Chu did not directly participate in the battle scenes, and they all relied on lines to create scenes.
Fortunately, Chu Yunfei was still a staff at least, Ding Wei also had several staff officers and guards, and Kong Jie almost always had two people talking and reporting on the battle situation. The barrage also jokingly called them a "two-person team."
But ridicule is a joke. As the first sitcom director, Zuo Le is definitely one of the best in China in terms of his ability to create big scenes from a small environment.
With the actor's superb acting skills and lines, this scene has smooth switching and a fast pace. Although there is no war scene to assist, it does not appear to be dramatic at all.
At the same time, Kong, Ding, and Chu also have many famous quotes in this section.
"How brave is Li Yunlong? If you give him one or two divisions, he will fucking dare to attack Taiyuan."
"Blow up all the bridges and leave no one behind. Block the enemy's reinforcements at all costs and block the enemy's reinforcements to the independent regiment."
"This battle was so enjoyable, so enjoyable!"
"Inform the first battalion, the third battalion, and the troops directly under the regiment to launch a comprehensive blockade based on the terrain. Not a single Japanese can be allowed to pass through the jurisdiction of our new second regiment."
"No matter which unit is attacking Ping'an County, our 358th Regiment must help."
Three of the four great kings, Kong Guaisui, Ding's explosion of the bridge, Chu Gang's scene, and Ping'an's battle, are all here. The remaining scenes depend on Li Kaipao...
In addition to the wonderful performance of these three regiment leaders, the 6th company and the district team demonstrated the difficulty and brutality of this blocking battle, which stunned the Eighth Route Army headquarters and revealed the high level of this battle.
Various side foils are designed to highlight the importance of this peaceful battle and make the audience excited to watch it.
