After being trained by the old leader, the three of them carefully prepared their graduation thesis. Episode 29 soon ended and came to the 30th episode.
Cadets of the Military Academy defended and presented their graduation thesis in the auditorium.
In the original version of "Bright Sword", only Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were filmed during this defense. In addition to the length of time, the two people's papers were unique.
The most important thing is that at that time, many cadet officers were guest actors, their acting skills were young, and they didn't have the ability to speak medium and long lines.
But now Zuo Le's version of "Bright Sword" has specially found a group of veteran actors, who have no such concerns, so many students have shown their faces.
Of course, if it were a speech as long as that of Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, it would definitely not be long enough, so except for Kong Jie who said a few words, the other students only had about half a minute of footage on average.
It is also worth mentioning that the graduation thesis of these students was not written casually by Zuo Le.
Instead, we drew on the real papers of that group of students and specially wrote lines, which are very ideological and professional with the characteristics of the times.
Only Zuo Le and the screenwriters know about this. For fear of spoilers, it has not been announced yet, so the crew and others of "Wulin Gaiden" sitting here don't know the inside story either.
Looking at the students on the stage talking about military theory, I suddenly felt confused and angry.
Although Kong Jie and others showed their faces, it was just a foreshadowing after all, and the main meal was served next.
Ding Wei, in the setting of this character, is the same as Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong. They are both geniuses with strong war talents. However, due to the role of the role, Li and Chu are not as outstanding.
But even so, in the few appearances he made, he also showed his extraordinary ability to command on the battlefield.
During the Pingangrad Blockade, Kong Jie and he helped block the Japanese reinforcements. Kong Jie didn't pay much attention to it, but he knew that he had thrown away all his family's assets.
However, Ding Wei made many arrangements to blow up bridges and destroy traffic, while trying his best to block the attack and reduce his own casualties.
We can also tell something from the nicknames the two got during the Ping An Campaign.
Kong Guaiyu reflects Kong Jie's boldness and bellicosity, while Ding Zhaqiao shows Ding Wei's thoughtful side in fighting.
In addition, during the period when Chu Yunfei entered Dagu Town, Li Yunlong approached Kong Jie and Ding Wei for discussion.
After learning what happened, Ding Wei only took a few minutes to formulate a very appropriate plan. Li Yunlong praised him as the dog-headed strategist of the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle. It also reflected Ding Wei's military and tactical skills.
After that, in the Military Academy, Ding Wei repeatedly boasted about his achievements and would drag Liao Yaoxiang out for a while. Although he was a bit arrogant about his achievements, his performance was truly fierce.
However, the above only reflects Ding Wei's strong military capabilities, and the graduation thesis he is about to present undoubtedly reflects his forward-looking mid- and long-term strategic vision.
In the original version of "Bright Sword", many people said that among the iron triangle in the north of Shanxi, Ding Wei had the strongest military ability, while Kong Jie was stronger in terms of politics and dealing with people.
The protagonist Li Yunlong, who likes to play wild, is considered the one with the most outstanding comprehensive ability in the Iron Triangle.
…………
"Dear examiners and fellow students, when you carefully understand the geography of a country, you will have a clearer understanding of the country's defense policy and the focus of strategic defense.
A neighbor that we can rely on and trust is where our country's survival interests lie.
I would like to make an analogy. For example, if there is a big family with four generations living under one roof, who in this family is the most trustworthy?
Of course he is an elderly man.
The old man's survival makes this family full of cohesion, so I'm thinking, what if the old man dies one day? Will the family be torn apart?
The answer is yes. In this leaderless situation, the brothers in the family will inevitably separate and start a new business.
From this, I came to the conclusion that the stability of a large family is relative, but division is inevitable.
………
What I am talking about today can be regarded as a military confrontation game on the sandbox.
But I want to emphasize that although this is a hypothesis or a game, I still think it is likely to happen one day in the future.
I am a soldier, and all I have to do is prepare for a rainy day."
Although Ding Wei's lines are expressed in a cryptic way, anyone with a little knowledge of modern history can understand Ding Wei's true meaning.
Perhaps it may seem unremarkable to later generations, but if you combine it with the era and environmental background of the play "Bright Sword", you can understand what Ding Wei's words represent.
Ding Wei undoubtedly has a commander-level strategic vision.
Generals are easy to come by, but handsome talents are hard to find. From this point of view, Li Yunlong is one step ahead of Ding Wei.
Of course, Li Yunlong is not bad either. Ding Wei discusses national defense strategy, while Li Yunlong focuses on the will to fight.
Regarding this point, many people in the original version suggested that Li Yunlong was giving chicken soup, and that the weight of the paper was not comparable to that of Ding Wei.
Zuo Le disagrees with this point, not to mention that Li Yunlong's theory of bright swords is in line with the TV series itself and sublimates the theme, but it is aimed at the paper itself.
The reason why our army went from being weak in the ravines to finally liberating the whole country, and causing the Lighthouse Country to suffer a big loss despite the difficult equipment conditions, is really due to this pot of "chicken soup."
Regardless of whether it is the military spirit or the ideology and beliefs, this is definitely one of the foundations for our army to maintain its brave combat effectiveness.
From a broad perspective, Li Yunlong's paper is not necessarily better than Ding Wei's, but it is by no means inferior.
One is the tool, the other is the way...
………
"Comrades, let me first explain what a bright sword is. The ancient swordsman..."
It was Li Yunlong's turn to deliver the paper.
Lao Li was not as calm and collected as Ding Wei. Instead, he was full of momentum from the beginning and his voice was as high as ever.
"... Even if you fall by your opponent's sword, you will feel defeated even though you are defeated. This is the spirit of the sword.
Every army has its own tradition. What is tradition? Tradition is a kind of character and a kind of temperament.
This tradition and character were determined by the character and temperament of the first military chief when this force was formed.
He injected soul into this army. From then on, no matter the passage of time or the change of personnel, the soul of this army will always be there.
Comrades, what is this? This is our military spirit!
We have been engaged in armed struggle for 22 years and have gradually grown from weak to strong. What do we rely on?
It is this kind of military spirit that we rely on, and we rely on the fighting will of the vast majority of our military officers and soldiers.
Even if the enemy controls us.
Even if you are trapped in a tight siege.
But we dare to draw our swords, and we dare to fight to the last man.
In a word, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and the spirit of wielding the sword is the soul of our army.
Wherever the sword points, you are invincible!"
Li Yunlong's words received thunderous applause in the play, and the audience in front of the screen, such as Zuo Le, also praised it. Only Yu Entai, a top student, always felt a little awkward.
"Is this also called a thesis? With just this few words, I definitely wouldn't be able to pass him."
Sha Yi heard his complaint and said with a smile: "Isn't this a reply? Let me briefly explain it."
Yu Entai also felt that it was a bit silly to call him the same name as the TV series, so he smiled, but he still couldn't help but joke.
"That's too simple. A formal thesis defense like Ding Wei's is. If I were the examiner, I would definitely let him defend it the second time."
Zuo Le heard what Yu Entai said, ignored him, and continued to watch TV. After the graduation defense, Li Yunlong got an excellent degree, and Ding Wei also got an excellent one with Liu Shuai's support.
Everyone successfully graduated, was awarded the title by Liu Shuai, and then participated in the military parade.
This part of the original TV series was not filmed, but the previous documentary footage was used to fill in the footage. Finally, Li Yunlong and the three of them were asked to salute in vain.
When it was time for Zuo Le to shoot, he asked the special effects team to restore the documentary video in high-definition color, and then asked Li Yunlong and other student teams to walk around the green screen and add it with special effects.
For this reason, the crew specially arranged for these veteran actors to assault and practice the goose-stepping military formation for more than ten days. With the help of special effects and cameras, they looked pretty decent.
Finally, accompanied by military parade music and narration, Li Yunlong and others stood solemnly in Di'anmen Square and saluted the tower.
With everyone saluting, "Bright Sword" - the whole play ends.
…………
"call……"
After seeing the last three words of the play, Zuo Le let out a breath and leaned back in his seat to relax. Before he could calm down, applause suddenly broke out in the theater.
All the crew members of "Wulin Gaiden" sitting there stood up and applauded him to express their respect and congratulations.
The next day, the final ratings of "Bright Sword" were 6.26, an increase of 0.42 in one breath, which shows the power of the finale.
At the same time, the Douhua score of "Bright Sword" has temporarily stopped at 9.3 points. Although it is not as good as "Wulin Gaiden", it is still a rare high-scoring masterpiece.

ps: I recommend a new book by a level 5 boss called "Left Road Jianghu". It will be available on the shelves in the early morning of the 1st. The author announced that it will be available for hundreds of updates (a certain fat man left tears of envy)
