I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Pengda Mo, who graduated last year, has already directed a play. Next year, he will create a dark comedy stage play called "Crazy Stone" and serve as its director and screenwriter.

He later acted in several stage plays and comedy films, but none of them made him famous.

It wasn't until he directed the comedy film "Goodbye Mr. Loser" in 2015 that he became a household name in the directing world.

He also won the Best New Director Award at the first Golden Sheep Awards Macau International Film Festival for this film.

In 2019, he won the Best Director Award at the 6th Wenrong Awards for his film "Hello Mr. Billionaire".

Although he has never filmed a revolutionary movie or directed a war film, he should be more than qualified to be an assistant director.

After all, the job of an assistant director is only to help assemble the crew and cast actors.

Peng Da Mo was overjoyed to hear that he would be Cheng Sheng's assistant director. After all, Cheng Sheng had just won the Best Director award at Cannes, and he would definitely learn a lot from working alongside him.

the next day.

The enlarged demon then arrived at Victory Film Company.

Cheng Sheng talked with him and found that the director of Pengda Mo had a very solid knowledge base.

This allowed him to confidently entrust the production team and casting to him.

With the assistant director in place, the casting for "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" was also announced.

This immediately caused a stir in the entertainment industry.

They had already heard about Cheng Sheng's new film, but they didn't know what kind of movie it was.

However, most people are guessing that it is a historical film, since Cheng Sheng is best at this.

But what I didn't expect was that it was a red film.

This left many popular actors bewildered.

Films made for communist parties are not easy to make, especially when they come with political missions.

Such films generally only select actors with solid acting skills, while traffic stars with little acting ability probably have little chance.

Looking at the character descriptions released, the male and female leads are both around thirty years old, and the male and female supporting characters are also about the same age.

This immediately eliminated many young artists.

The younger artists were frustrated, while the slightly older artists were overjoyed.

They knew their chance had come.

Just as casting for "Ten Red Army Soldiers" was underway, Master Han found Cheng Sheng.

"Mr. Han, I know why you've come, but this time it really won't work."

Cheng Sheng smiled wryly.

He knew that Master Han's purpose in coming was to invest in this movie, but this movie was just too special.

"Is there really no chance?" Third Master Han asked.

"Not long ago, Mr. Yu and Mr. Lu both came here. They both wanted to invest in this movie, but it really didn't work out."

Cheng Sheng refused.

This is a mission-based film, and the investment was basically provided by the Xijiang government.

Even though he didn't invest a single penny, he directed for free.

The Xijiang government originally wanted to give Cheng Sheng a director's fee, but Cheng Sheng refused.

"What a pity, Xiao Cheng. I'm really curious if I could take a look at your script?" said Master Han. Master Han had previously invited Cheng Sheng to co-direct the 2009 patriotic blockbuster "The Founding of a Republic," but Cheng Sheng had politely declined.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Sheng turned around and wrote a revolutionary film for the Xijiang government.

He knew nothing about the film except that it was called "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off".

This made him incredibly eager, knowing that Cheng Sheng's scripts were all top-notch.

Cheng Sheng smiled slightly; of course he agreed to this small matter.

He took out the script and handed it to Master Han.

Master Han held the script and gently turned the first page.

Cheng Sheng didn't disturb Master Han from reading the script. Instead, he personally made him a cup of tea and placed it on his desk.

half an hour.

After closing the script, Master Han took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said excitedly, "Xiao Cheng, I really don't know how to evaluate your script. It uses the stage play style to depict the patriotism of the people of Xijiang when they sent their husbands and sons to the front lines."

"I guarantee that if this movie is released, it will definitely bring tears to the eyes of the audience."

"With the melody of 'Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off' and the lyrics that the older generation can easily recite, I'm really looking forward to the release of this movie."

Cheng Sheng put a lot of effort into this script; it was all his own hard work. He didn't borrow any scenes from future movies, nor did he use any simulation panels for help.

Now that he has gained Han Sanye's approval, Cheng Sheng is very excited. Even without the cheat code of the simulation panel and the memories of his other self, he can still achieve great success in the entertainment industry.

"Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off" is more like a stage play than a movie.

Moreover, it was adapted from the song "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off".

The background of "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" is set in the period after the failure of the fifth counter-encirclement campaign, when the revolutionary forces suffered heavy losses. It was at this critical moment that the predecessors made the historic decision to embark on the Long March.

"Ten Farewell Songs to the Red Army" reflects the deep friendship between the Red Army and the people of Xijiang during this historical period and the scene of their farewell.

In 1934, our predecessors crossed the Yudu River at nine different ferry crossings and embarked on the Long March.

Along the banks of the Yudu River, tens of thousands of men, women, and children stood at various ferry crossings to see off the Red Army.

With tears in their eyes, the villagers held the Red Army soldiers' hands tightly, reluctant to let them leave.

Some villagers put the only eggs and glutinous rice balls they had at home into the soldiers' pockets, hoping that the soldiers would have more food on the road.

The women spontaneously organized themselves, like the Red Army girls, carrying torches, wearing new clothes they usually couldn't bear to wear, and lined up in neat rows on one side of the ferry, singing songs to bid farewell to the Red Army soldiers.

Their singing was melodious and moving, bringing tears to the eyes of many Red Army soldiers. This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers, becoming a warm memory on their Long March.

As the Minister of Women's Affairs, the female protagonist actively organized women's song club members to sing folk songs for the Red Army soldiers at the crossing before the Red Army set off on the Long March...

In the final scene, Cheng Sheng, from the perspective of the people of Xijiang, sang the melodious and poignant tune of "Ten Farewell Songs to the Red Army" to the rousing melody of the song, expressing the deep bond between the Red Army soldiers and the people who were seeing them off.

During the formation of the "Ten Red Army Soldiers" production team, Cheng Sheng received countless calls, all from film and television companies and individual artists, all recommending themselves to him.

In response, Cheng Sheng directly told them to audition, because there were no backdoors to be opened for this film.

For a time, countless artists came to audition at Shengli Film and Television Company.

Every day, hundreds of people come to audition for roles in "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off".

The bloated demon is so busy that his feet never touch the ground. He arrives earliest and leaves latest every day, making him a representative figure of modern-day oxen and horses.

Amidst the hustle and bustle.

Peng Da Mo presented Cheng Sheng with the list of artists who had passed the preliminary selection, along with their information. The final selection would then be up to Cheng Sheng. (End of Chapter)
