I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"I am from Changnan District..."

Upon hearing the old man's explanation, Cheng Sheng's expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly invited the old man in.

Upon entering the room, Cheng Sheng stood before the old man.

The old man looked at Cheng Sheng and smiled kindly, inviting Cheng Sheng to sit down and talk.

"What! You want me to make a movie about the Battle of Xijiang?"

Cheng Sheng was very surprised.

"Xiao Cheng, you are the best director in Xijiang. I hope you can make a pure Xijiang war film to commemorate the people of Xijiang who sacrificed their lives in the War of Resistance against Japan," the old man said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng felt his blood rush to his head, and a surge of heroic spirit erupted from his chest.

The old man's words were an honor to him.

He agreed without even thinking.

"Good, this is the kind of young man from Xijiang. If you have any requests regarding this movie, just let me know, and I will have someone cooperate with you."

Then, Cheng Sheng chatted with the old man for a long time, mostly about the Red Army in Xijiang.

More than half an hour later, Cheng Shengcai saw the old man off.

Then I lay in bed and began to think.

Make a movie about the Red Army in Xijiang.

Honestly, it's not that difficult, since there are still many war movies set in the future.

For example, the 2020 film "The Eight Hundred" tells the story of the National Revolutionary Army's defense of the Sihang Warehouse against the Japanese army during the Battle of Shanghai.

The film grossed over $4.614 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film globally that year.

Unfortunately, this movie has nothing to do with the Red Army or the Xijiang River.

There's also "The Battle at Lake Changjin" (2022) and the first "The Battle at Lake Changjin," both of which tell the story of the Red Army, but specifically the story of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army fighting in Korea.

In particular, the film "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is the most successful war film of all time, with a box office of nearly $10 billion. It is also the highest-grossing non-English film and domestic film, demonstrating the strong strength of Chinese film production.

War films record history and touch people's hearts in a unique way. These box office successes are not only commercial victories, but also profound interpretations of history and humanity.

It has nothing to do with Xijiang.

Therefore, Cheng Sheng was in a bit of a dilemma in making a good war film about the Xijiang River and the Red Army, since there was nothing to copy.

and many more.

You can't copy it, but he has a simulation panel!

War movies are just historical movies, aren't they?
The simulation panel is specifically designed to simulate history!
With this in mind, Cheng Sheng decided to find some time to write a separate script and then see if the simulation panel could improve the script.

As for writing about the deeds of the Red Army in Xijiang, that's easy.

There are simply too many things that happened in Xijiang related to the Red Army.

In the early days of the Red Army, there was a saying of "eight major uprisings", the largest of which was the Changnan Uprising.

Moreover, the Changnan Uprising produced the most founding generals and marshals, such as Zhu De, He Long, Liu Bocheng, and Lin Biao, who are representative figures.

Although the Changnan Uprising was a well-known event among the Chinese people, Cheng Sheng had no intention of being afraid of it.

Because he felt there was a lack of emotion, or a lack of public participation.

Since it was made for the people of Xijiang, it should reflect the feelings of the masses towards the Red Army at that time.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng recalled a song – "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off".

"Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" was originally an interlude and ending theme song for the TV series "The Long March". Its melodious and poignant singing left an unforgettable impression on people.

This song is easily mistaken for a revolutionary folk song from the Xijiang region, but in fact it is an original composition.

However, it must be said that this song resonated more with the masses and reflected the basic situation of the Red Army at that time.

The more Cheng Sheng thought about the song, the more he felt the powerful creative thinking it unleashed.

Quickly grab a pen and paper, and before your thoughts completely dissipate, sketch out the script outline.

Brush brush!
Based on this song, Cheng Sheng also had some ideas about the overall outline.

In one hour, Cheng Sheng wrote an outline of over three thousand words. Looking at the script outline in his hand, Cheng Sheng smiled; this was probably the most interesting movie yet.

With the outline in place, all that's left is to fill in the content gradually when I have time.

I shook my sore and numb hands, put away the script outline, packed up, and went out to find a place to eat.

……

The next day.

At 9:32, Cheng Sheng boarded the train back to Rao City.

After a four-hour journey, Cheng Sheng took a taxi from the train station and then spent another two hours in a taxi to return to his hometown.

"Cheng Sheng, you're back."

"Hey! Xiaosheng, you're back for the New Year."

"Xiaosheng, when is your new movie going to be released? Uncle will bring the whole village to support you then."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Along the way, every villager who saw Cheng Sheng greeted him with smiles.

Cheng Sheng smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Cheng Sheng, a college graduate from the village, is now a nationally renowned director, and the villagers hold him in high esteem.

Cheng Sheng also gave back to the village, having his father donate money to repair roads there long ago.

This all-cement road was built with money donated by Cheng Sheng.

This has made the surrounding villages extremely envious.

The news that Cheng Sheng had returned to the village for the Spring Festival quickly spread throughout the village.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng had been standing at the door for a long time, waiting for Cheng Sheng to return.

Before Cheng Sheng returned, he also called his parents to inform them.

“Ah Sheng.”

Looking at her son, Cheng's mother's eyes reddened with emotion.

"mom."

Cheng Sheng shouted, put down his suitcase, and ran over to hug his mother.

I haven't seen my parents for almost a year.

Although we've been talking on the phone, it's nothing compared to meeting in person!

Cheng Sheng did invite his parents to visit Wuxi, but they kept refusing because of their land issues at home.

"It's good to be back. Come in and eat. Your mother prepared dinner early this morning."

Cheng's father patted Cheng Sheng on the shoulder and said.

"Great! I've been wanting to try my mom's cooking for ages."

After entering the house with his parents, Cheng Sheng put away his luggage, washed his hands, and ate with them.

After dinner, Cheng's mother went to wash the dishes, while Cheng Sheng chatted with his father, recounting the events that had happened to him over the past year.

"The news says you and Wu Baige have a deep grudge. Did you suffer any losses?" Cheng's father asked.

Although Cheng's father did not use the internet, the young people in the village had all used the internet and knew some news about Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige.

The young people in the village even talked to Cheng's father about this.

However, since Cheng Sheng wasn't around, he couldn't ask, and he was always worried that his son might suffer a loss outside.

Now that his son is back, Mr. Cheng asked a casual question.

"Who is your son? How could he possibly suffer a loss? Don't worry, I could beat Wu Baige with one hand." Cheng Sheng said with a disdainful look.

Despite Wu Baige's current fame, her career is already fading. (End of Chapter)
