This director is very reliable

Chapter 740 Complicated Moods (34)

A lot of media also came to the midnight show...

After all, I have to write a manuscript!
"Legend of the Gods" PK "Eight Hundred", both are 5 million big investments!

It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

And I think of the rivalry between Shen Changlin and Yu Dong during the Spring Festival...

Friends, this is a series!

This kind of thing is not only loved by the audience, but also by the media!
The new scenes of Bona PK in those years, from "Scarred City" VS "Golden Armor" to "Three Shots Surprise" PK "October Besieged City", and then there was the golden dragon battle recorded in film history - "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" PK "Dragon Fly"…

The rivers and lakes have changed, and now it is Changlin Film and Television PK Bona!
Of course, the media is concerned about these things, and Yang Tao and Sang Kun are only here to watch the movie.

"Eight Hundred" started with an interview, and "Central Daily" interviewed the chairman of the committee about his views on the Battle of Songhu.

Duan Yihong played the reporter: "Why Shanghai?"

The chairman of the committee has an inscrutable attitude: "Because Shanghai is the most suitable. Shanghai is an international trade port. The destruction of Haikou is not beneficial to any country. It depends on the perspective of China and foreign countries. The international perception is very important. The war we are now engaged in is not only China itself. but of all nations entrusting their lives to the sanctity and inviolability of treaties, especially those which have vast commercial interests in China which are at present being destroyed, and represent nations which are being driven out."

"Fighting with the enemy in Shanghai will not only change the Western people's attitude towards China, but also may cause mediation between European and American households, or even armed intervention. The Songhu War will implicate the interests of all countries in Shanghai, prompting the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union. By waiting for major powers or international organizations to intervene and mediate, the overall settlement of the Sino-Japanese dispute can be achieved, and the peaceful goal of safeguarding the existing sovereignty and administrative territorial integrity can be achieved.”

This passage was said by the chairman himself when answering reporters' questions at the beginning of the Songhu Battle.

It's not slander!
This opening also defines the nature of "Eight Hundred": a very magical war of resistance...

In the eyes of high-level officials, this may be a show, which is the reason why the Guo Party eventually retreated;
But for the soldiers stationed, this is a struggle to defend their homeland, which is why China will not perish!
As soon as the screen turned, it went straight to the dark scene, and then the opening title - "Eight Hundred" appeared!
……

Without foreshadowing, they directly entered the perspective of Duanwu and Xiaohubei, and arrived at the position of the Sixing Warehouse.

The background is that the 88th Regiment of the 524th Division stayed at the Sixing Warehouse for the final resistance under the situation that the Guo party army was retreating steadily from the battle with the Japanese army, and used it to win the sympathy of the international public opinion.

As the former warehouse of the Four Banks, the Sihang Warehouse has strong walls and abundant reserves. It is backed by the Shanghai Concession and there are large gas boxes nearby. Dare to carry out bombing and large-scale shelling.

But the enemy is outnumbered, even with the advantage of location, if we see each other and fall into the quagmire of fighting, it will definitely kill the life of the defenders...

At the same time, troops were strictly prohibited from entering the concession.

It can be said that this is a war with almost no hope, destined to lose slowly!
What is even more tormenting is that on the south bank of the Suzhou Creek, just over a hundred meters away, there is a concession area full of feasting, feasting and fireworks...

Xiaohubei and Duanwu can be regarded as the passionate faction, the old abacus who can't hold a gun, the veteran Yangguai who smokes as much as his life, and has good marksmanship, and the old iron who claims to have had several handsome men, is another group of "" The representative of the "old fritters" miscellaneous soldiers...

Tragic, with no hope in sight...

Then the camera turned and showed the high-level.

People who play tricks, they just regard the incident of guarding the Sixing Warehouse as a pawn to influence international public opinion, and those brave men who fought to the death, in the eyes of these people, are probably nothing more than actors performing on the stage.

Not only these people, including the foreign journalists in the airship, the friends in the concession who watched the fire from the other side, and the reporter Fang who traveled around with a camera, how could they not be the people watching the show?

Therefore, using the Sixing Warehouse as the stage, the entire concession has seen a great drama from garrison to retreat.

Still have to fight!
If you don't shoot battles in "Eight Hundred", what should you shoot?

Therefore, Shanghai, which was bombed, hurriedly supported the troops from all over Shanghai.The low-quality old army is oppressive against the modern Japanese Benz army...

On the second day of the battle, the Japanese army occupied the Bank of Communications Building on the side of the Sixing Warehouse, and deployed cannon fire on the back of the Sixing Warehouse, threatening to capture the Sixing Warehouse within three hours!

People on the south bank of the river took this as a gamble, and they all picked up binoculars to watch the main event.

In order to stick to the warehouse, a group of soldiers tied explosives to their bodies and jumped from the outer edge of the warehouse, blocking the Japanese attack in the form of human explosives.

Movies, you can't just copy the material, you must be sensational when it's time to be sensational!

There is a description of the Japanese army, which is not much in length, but it is enough to make people remember that the Japanese army is not only brutal or simply abstract and powerful, nor is it trying to dig out the human nature of the invaders, it is very straightforward By showing the Japanese army's tactical literacy and discipline, it highlights its strength.

The climax of the movie is the special commissioner played by Liu Yunlong: "The 70 national army has collapsed. Only a few hundred people are guarding a four-row warehouse, and Shanghai is still guarding it? What a joke!"

"This battle is originally a show, and behind the war is politics!"

"Why must this battle be fought in Shanghai? Have you ever thought about it?"

Without waiting for Wang Lei to speak (Xie Jinyuan played by Wang Lei), Liu Yunlong replied by himself: "Because there are a large number of British and American leases in Shanghai, fighting in Shanghai is the only way for Britain and the United States to intervene!"

Wang Lei's voice was hoarse, and he asked every word: "Is it true that I am a Chinese... relying on foreign countries?"

Liu Yunlong didn't have the heart to look at him, but looked at the feasting lights on the other side of the river, and said, "Shangfeng has been thinking about foreign intervention from the very beginning, so even if our army suffered heavy losses, we still demanded to hold out for three months. Before The League of Nations decided to hold a nine-nation meeting in Brussels, the European headquarters, in November to discuss the issue of Japan and benzene! Now, the Brussels meeting has been postponed, or it can be said to have ended early. The delegation has detected the attitudes of various countries, and no country is willing to help us .”

He turned his head and took out an order (retreat order): "Now the UK asks us to leave, lest the war spread to the British Concession..."

Then, Liu Yunlong said in a mocking tone: "The chairman has amazing calculations, but he can't figure out that Britain and the United States don't care at all. They still want to go north to deal with the Soviet Union after the Japanese occupy China!"

Wang Lei did not speak, and pointed to the outside of the warehouse: "Look at the other side, those people are looking at us, their enthusiasm for resisting the Japanese is getting stronger... because we are not doing useless work, we...we are not only here to resist the Japanese people , we are here and they see that the Chinese soldiers are still..."

"I know you have already put your life and death at risk, but if you don't retreat and the flames of war start, who do you think is unlucky? Once the Japanese army uses heavy artillery tomorrow, the 500,000 square meters of gas in this warehouse will explode, and the people in the concession will Is it impossible to be buried with him?"

"Bombing, death, separation of wives and children, how many soldiers have died, and the difference in strength is huge. After three months of fierce fighting, the overall situation in Shanghai has been settled! Let's go, the British side agreed to let you use this way to withdraw, this is what you fought for yourself! "

Shocked, angry, and bewildered, Wang Lei muttered to himself: "...Go? Where are you going? After Shanghai, there will be Nanjing..."

"History will remember this place, these people, and you!"

There is no way, the climax point can only fall here!
Historically, Xie Jinyuan withdrew into the concession after all with the guards.

Couldn't end with a tragic sacrifice.

After all, a retreat is a retreat, and it is difficult to be completely sublimated into solemnity...

Upgrading the camera, a group of people slowly walked into the concession...

Then, the movie stopped abruptly, the screen went black, and then turned on again, and an old man appeared—Xie Jimin, the son of Mr. Xie Jinyuan: "You guys made "Eight Hundred", it was not easy to shoot, and the final result of the Solitary Army Camp was very bad. Yes...Xie Jinyuan was killed by a traitor, and the Solitary Army Battalion was also captured by the Japanese coolies..."

The voiceover should be Shen Changlin's voice: "Then old man, do you think the 'Battle of the Four Lines Warehouse' is meaningful?"

"It must be meaningful. Isn't there a song called "Song of Eight Hundred Heroes" 'China will not perish, China will not perish, look at the national hero, Captain Xie, China will not perish, China will not perish, you Look at those [-] strong men defending the Eastern battlefield alone..."

"I think so too!"

Shen Changlin smiled, but the camera still didn't show him, the movie ended completely...
