What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 209 Some special meaning

Kagawa Teruyuki's vegetables are not growing smoothly, which in the eyes of the locals is more disgusting than building a cannon building.

After eight years of fighting, even the puppet army knew that Japan was about to be doomed, and began to approach the government to discuss how to grab as much land as possible from the communist army. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Japanese army would start farming.

What are you trying to do? Are you planning to live a long-term life?
As a result, conflicts and confrontations that have never existed before occurred around land cultivation.

Yang Shu and Liu Man collected a lot of materials before. The war was about to end and before the surrender of the Japanese army, there were all kinds of conflicts and many special things happened. How to choose the materials was a brain-consuming problem.

When writing the script, most of Yang Shu mentioned it in a general way. Although he expressed it, he didn't focus on it.

For example, the Japanese army organized people to grab food from the head of the local maintenance association. This was an internal strife between them and the traitors. Although the filming is meaningful and can add interest, it has little to do with the theme and is basically not a conflict between ourselves and the enemy.

At the beginning of spring, the Japanese army used war horses to work as coolies to help people grow land to earn food. This must have nothing to do with ordinary people. Ordinary farmers did not have so much land to cultivate, and they did not have the money to hire Japanese soldiers.

In addition, although the Japanese army bought and sold weapons, there have always been such things, but Yang Shu arranged these things after the Japanese army announced their surrender, so as to prevent this kind of plot from being misinterpreted, or even deliberately misinterpreted by some people.

In fact, arms trading was legal in the Republic of China. Unlike the strict control of the Qing Dynasty, many laws of the Republic of China were formulated with reference to the United States, so there were so many landlords armed, and a major source of weapons was the Japanese army.

However, Yang Shu filmed the plot of the Japanese army exchanging weapons for food after the surrender, which is very interesting.

This is also the lesson he learned from the adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem". After having a greater voice and communication power, he has to choose what he expresses. There is a special vocabulary to define this kind of self-consciousness, which is called social responsibility.

But these are all subplots. When he wrote the script, he focused the main contradiction on the land, and it was an irreconcilable contradiction, which caused many conflicts, which is very different from ordinary anti-Japanese dramas.

It can also be seen from the collected information that local farmers and guerrillas are particularly disgusted with the Japanese army's farming and have always tried their best to attack them.

This seems to have some special significance. Although the Japanese army occupied a large area of ​​land inside and outside the customs, they colonized the Northeast, but did not in North China.

Although land reclamation is not for the purpose of colonization, there are similarities in their actions. Of course, we will not condone beating dogs in the water now, let alone just sit back and watch the Japanese army become self-sufficient.

Of course, the Japanese army refused to give up, and they also tried their best to protect the crops. This kind of confrontation persisted from before surrendering to surrendering and leaving.

The confrontation in the war years was cruel. Before the declaration of surrender, anyone who destroyed the Japanese farmland may pay the price of life.

In the two or three months after the surrender of the Japanese army and before they left, it was a confrontation between human nature and hatred, which was more intense and tested the will to some extent.

In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the war finally ended, but the struggle in Weishan Lake did not end.

In fact, this statement itself has problems. The "Surrender Letter" handed over to the Allies by Japan at that time said "the Japanese army surrendered unconditionally", not "Japan surrendered unconditionally". Most of the narratives in many media were not rigorous, obviously Contradicting the facts without knowing it.

Of course, Japan also surrendered, but it was conditional. The condition was that the emperor would not be held accountable for the war, and the emperor system would be retained, leaving huge hidden dangers for the future.

The ending of "The Devil Is Coming" filmed by Jiang Wen is very exciting, but the description of the surrender is flawed. The local Japanese army accepted the surrender too quickly, and entered the national army's prisoner-of-war camp almost the next day.

According to the plot, the captured Japanese soldier played by Kagawa Teruyuki reached an agreement with the local farmers to exchange several carts of grain for his freedom.

The peasants represented by Jiang Wen believed it and let him go. The Japanese army who had just declared defeat did send food, but they killed the whole village, young and old, and then set fire to the village.

This is obviously a war crime, but when Jiang Wen came to revenge the next day, the Japanese army had already surrendered, and he was sentenced to death for killing the prisoners, and the executioner was Kagawa Teruyuki who he released, and he chopped down without hesitation. nod.

The movie was well shot and the plot was shocking, but the Japanese army probably didn't have that much food to give away at the time, and they didn't need to bring food with them if they wanted to massacre the village.

At that time, the timeline for the surrender of the Japanese troops in the Chinese theater was relatively long. Although the defeat was announced in August, the surrender took more than three months from September in the surrendered areas of Beijing and Shanghai to December in Jinan, Qingdao.

The time for accepting the surrender was too long, and the supplies of the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong were basically interrupted, making life even more difficult.

Because there was no order from their superiors, neither the local national army nor the puppet army who had transferred to the national government could accept the surrender of the Japanese army, but ordered the Japanese army to stand by and wait for the surrender.

And these Japanese troops refused to surrender to the Eight Route Army and the guerrillas. Although the war ceased, the conflicts did not stop.

In the end, after the Japanese army declared defeat, the Flying Tigers stopped destroying the farmland out of humanitarian considerations, but the Japanese army had to surrender to the Eight Route Army as agreed.

However, when it was time to accept the surrender, the local Japanese army refused to disarm the Flying Tigers of the Railway. More than 1000 Japanese soldiers fled in the dark on the armored train, preparing to surrender to the national army.

You have been asked to plant the land, but at this time you want to run away, the Flying Tigers couldn't bear it, and immediately pulled the railway.

More than 1000 Japanese troops had no way forward, and when they wanted to retreat to the city, their retreat was also cut off, so they were trapped on the railway.

The war had ceased, and the Flying Tigers surrounded and did not fight. The Japanese army was isolated and helpless. After starving for 3 days in the car, they had to surrender obediently.

A regular army of more than 1000 men surrendered to an anti-Japanese guerrilla armed force of less than [-] men, which is extremely rare in the history of military surrender. "Warrior" has already filmed this plot, but it is not detailed enough. "The Last Days of Devils" unfolded and filmed three episodes.

This part is the autumn scene, and Yang Shu arranged to shoot it at the end of March, which means that he filmed the beginning and the end first, and then filmed the summer scene in the middle.

The filming has been going smoothly, and the three months of work have been busy and orderly. Yang Shu originally planned to finish filming his own scenes, and then go back to work on "The Three-Body Problem" after watching it for a while.

However, the situation has changed. Since he is not making big movies, Da Liu can also participate in the script writing remotely, so he simply stayed in Weishanhu. It is said that Liu Man is the director, but in fact he took the initiative to undertake most of the work.

"Warrior" and "The Beginning" also have a similar working model. Yang Shu gives orders, and Liu Man implements them. Anyway, the workplace is centered on Yang Shu, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

The filming ended on June 6, and the crew returned to the capital. "The Last Days of Devils" entered post-production, aiming to air it in October.

But Yang Shu turned around and started working on "The Three-Body Problem", trying to launch it in October, preferably in April next year, and resumed the mode of broadcasting works twice a year in "World's Wonderful Events".
