Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 447 Take off, take off, take off again!

At the gate of Pujiang Animation Film Studio, two or three cigarette butts had fallen at the feet of Jiang Shan and Deputy Director Yan Dingxian.

Just when Jiang Shan was about to play another one, Yan Dingxian reached out and patted him: "Here it comes."

Not far away, a bus slowly stopped at the gate of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Before the car door was opened, a chattering sound came over.

You don't need to look to know that this is a cart full of children being sent here.

Sure enough, after the door opened, a group of elementary school students who looked about 7 or 8 years old jumped off the bus.

They are all full of energy and look extremely happy, and they look happier than during the Chinese New Year.

Today, in order to attract some extras for the program of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, Jiang Shan specially invited Jiang Xiaoyu's entire class to come and add to the fun.

With the help of the middleman Comrade Jiang Hai, a whole class of students and teachers who strongly expressed "I do" were picked up by a bus.

Looking at this group of little monkeys that were released from the mountains, Jiang Shan and Director Yan didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, a female teacher in a red plaid coat stood in front of the children with a stern face:

"Let me see who's still talking now?"

"Who else?"

"Students from Class 1 (), line up in pairs."

"We'll go in when there's no sound at all..."

After a few quick words, more than 30 children became obedient.

Even Jiang Xiaoyu, who was standing in the team, didn't dare to look at his uncle for even a second.

"You must be Jiang Xiaoyu's uncle, right?"

After tidying up the children in the class, the head teacher looked amiably at Comrade Jiang Shan who was standing at the door:
"Thank you for the invitation. To be honest, the children in our class have never participated in such a meaningful activity!"

The key is that I heard it can even be on TV.

Looking at the friendly smile of the young female teacher, Jiang Shan also put on a kind smile:

"If the children like it, we can organize more similar activities in the future,"

After saying that, he turned around and introduced: "This is Director Yan of our Shanghai Animation Film Studio..."

Afterwards, under the suppression of the two female teachers, the subsequent filming work went much more smoothly.

The students from Class 1 () lined up in pairs, holding hands, and visited the studios of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio one by one.

In order to cooperate with today's shooting, all the classic cartoon drawings will be brought out.

Groups of employees from the Shanghai Animation Film Studio gathered together, posing in a serious manner as if they were creating works in the past.

As the camera moves forward:

The miniature scenery of "Magic Brush Ma Liang", the ink painting draft of "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", the paper-cut collection of "Monkey Catching the Moon", the Mogao Grottoes photo of "Nine-Colored Deer", the puppet family portrait of "Smart Afanti"...

Under the leadership of Director Yan, the children seemed to have entered an animated world.

"That's the expression,"

Jiang Shan, who was following nearby, whispered to director Wang Yang, "Can you draw them all into animations based on their current appearance?"

"You want to..." Wang Yang chewed on Jiang Shan's words carefully: "Make an animation of the children's visit?"

"Don't be too particular," Jiang Shan meant: "I want these kids to gradually enter the world of animation after entering the Shanghai Animation Film Studio..."

"I suppose that's what you mean,"

As a senior director of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, Wang Yang's thinking is also very dreamy:

"No problem. This is our specialty. I'll call you when it's done."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang."

"Why are you still talking to me about thanking me?" Wang Yang said, "Come to think of it, our factory hasn't thanked you properly yet..."

……

Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers Company.

Huang Zhan, who had arrived with the script in his arms, was already sitting face to face with Run Run Shaw in a room.

At this moment, Huang Zhan, holding a cup of coffee, quietly watched every move on the opposite side.

After wiping the glasses in her hand, Run Run Shaw put on her gold-rimmed glasses again.

After gently turning two pages, Huang Zhan's uncle was suddenly startled: "What is this...?"

"Just keep reading," Huang Zhan reminded him, "Everything in this script is adapted from true events..."

Like the script of Music and Peace, what Run Run Shaw is holding now is also a storyboard with both pictures and text.

Therefore, when Run Run Shaw first opened the script, it was as if she was watching a feature film slowly unfolding...

The gray-yellow tone of the picture brings people back to the scenes of the Anti-Japanese War.

[Izumo, the largest cruiser of the Japanese Navy.

The ship is equipped with 38 cannons of various calibers and 4 torpedoes.

In order to sink this Japanese warship that the Chinese people hate the most, all sectors of the Chinese side have tried every possible means.

It’s a pity that this Japanese ship always drifts back to the Chinese coastline like a zombie.

For this reason, the Chinese Air Force received a death order to "make it disappear completely"...】

As the page turned, several Chinese soldiers in air force uniforms were interrogating a captured Japanese officer in an unavoidable tone:

"What method should I use to sink the Chuyun with the least casualties?"

Avoiding the direct gaze of the Chinese soldiers, the captured Japanese soldiers dodged for a few moments and then sighed.

He replied in broken Chinese: "Only man-machine integration... there is no other way."

"But I heard that..."

The Chinese NCO in front of him didn't seem to be frightened by the answer: "The Izumo's anti-aircraft firepower is almost impossible to penetrate?"

"Ah,"

The Japanese prisoner sneered. He felt that he could not even consider that step.

He looked at the Chinese soldiers opposite him and asked with a smile: "Who among you dares to stand up now? Who dares to stand up?"

The meaning is very clear. The reason I dare to tell you the answer is because this answer cannot be fulfilled.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers in the inquiry room stepped forward without hesitation.

"Captain, I'll go!"

"You are so young, it's not even your turn."

"You don't have to go either. You just found a girlfriend and you don't want to take responsibility? I think it's best for me to go."

"Hey~, don't even think about snatching this pension from me..."

……

The scene changed, and under the blue sky and white clouds, rows of old-fashioned fighter planes with numbers were parked in rows on the military airport.

After a series of alarms, more than a dozen pilots wearing air force leather jackets rushed towards their respective fighter planes.

Suddenly, outside the barbed wire not far away.

A rich girl in a red dress waved loudly in the direction of the fighter plane, "Chen Huaimin, Chen Huaimin..."

A soldier who had just entered the cabin turned his head in response.

When he saw a red shadow not far away, he quickly shouted in that direction:

"Lulu, hurry up and leave Hangzhou with your family..."

"Chen Huaimin,"

The girl in the red skirt ignored this sentence and shouted to the soldiers on the fighter plane:
"Chen Huaimin, I like you. If you like me too, just wave to me."

The girl's words made all the officers and soldiers on the fighter plane look over. Among them, Chen Huaimin looked the most infatuated.

In excitement, he was about to raise his hand, but held back at the last moment.

Time was running out. Although she didn't see the other party waving, the girl in the distance still quickly shouted:
"When you come back safely this time, I will marry you!"

"What did you say?" Chen Huaimin pretended not to hear: "Lulu, leave Hangzhou quickly..."

Soon, there was a roar.

As the girl watched, one fighter plane after another resolutely rushed into the blue sky.

Then, the blue sky in the picture gradually disappeared...

……

In the following storyboards, in addition to a series of fierce battle scenes, a group of text illustrations also appeared.

[They were the first generation of air force of the Chinese Aviation School. They entered the school, graduated and died in the same year.

The average age of sacrifice was 23, and the youngest was just 17 when he died...】

An extremely long line of air raid alert text jumped onto the screen.

The tone of the entire storyboard has turned black and white.

After the September 1931th Incident in , the Japanese invaders occupied the three northeastern provinces in just a few months.

In order to fight against the Japanese invaders and regain air supremacy, Hangzhou Jianqiao Central Aviation School came into being.

The students of this aviation school all come from prominent families, and most of them come from top universities across the country.

Among them, there were many returned overseas Chinese who could have stayed away from the flames of war.

However, it was this group of young people with prominent family backgrounds who rushed to the front lines and stood up to serve their country when the country and nation were facing life and death.

Known as the cradle of the Chinese Air Force, the Jianqiao Aviation School had all its teachers and students swear to fight to the death against the Japanese when the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out.

As each batch of students from the aviation school graduated, the countdown to death began.

Just as the school motto engraved on the stone wall: Our bodies, planes and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warships and positions.

Such a school motto has never existed before.

In the most dazzling years of their youth, they wrote with their passion a tragic epic of "dying for the country and never returning alive".

[Gao Zhihang, captain and instructor of the Chinese Air Force, shot down the first Japanese enemy plane in Chinese history.

One day, just after completing flight training, when the plane was running low on fuel and the weather was bad, he resolutely led his troops to take off urgently to fight against the sudden attack of enemy planes.

After a full thirty minutes of fierce fighting, three Japanese planes were shot down and one was damaged, but at the last moment, he was killed by an enemy plane.

He often says this on weekdays:

"As the Chinese Air Force, how can we allow enemy planes to fly overhead?"】

[Yan Haiwen, a student of the sixth class of the Aviation School.

After being hit by anti-aircraft artillery, he was forced to parachute and mistakenly entered the Japanese position.

This record holder for perfect marks in shooting in the history of the aviation school killed five Japanese soldiers in a row.

With the last bullet, he ended his life at the age of 21.

The last words before the shooting were: "China has no captured air force!"]

[Shen Chonghui, whose father was a Supreme Court Justice of the Republic of China, participated in the rescue of Li Dazhao.

After graduating from Tsinghua University, he resolutely entered the Central Aviation School.

In 1937, when ordered to bomb the Japanese Third Fleet.

Because the tail of the plane was hit, Shen Chonghui gave up parachuting and dived directly down, crashing into the Japanese warship leader: Izumo.

He was only 27 years old when he died.

"My fighter plane and I are the last shell fired at the enemy."】

[Zhang Xihu, his father Zhang Boling was one of the founders of Nankai University.

Zhang Xihu, who had dreamed of becoming an athlete since he was a child, enrolled in the Central Aviation School after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

In 1937, Zhang Xihu, who was only 25 years old, died in a plane crash while on a mission.

"Although I am not smart enough to support my parents till their old age, I dare not be a sinner for China!"]

[Chen Huaimin, 22 years old, when his fighter plane was besieged by five enemy planes.

He gave up parachuting, turned 180 degrees and died together with an enemy plane.

After hearing the news, his fiancée jumped into the river and committed suicide, wearing the cheongsam he had given her.

"Every time a plane takes off, I treat it like it's my last flight."]

[After the four great air force commanders, led by Gao Zhihang, died one after another.

Batch after batch of pilots from the aviation school disappeared into the blue sky.

Just when the Japanese intelligence department concluded that China's air force was no longer able to resist.

Japanese bombers once again advanced straight into the densely populated refuge areas of Chengdu residents.

Suddenly, an old trainer plane appeared in front of them.

Weird flight routes, crazy strafing and pursuit, and the obvious intention to hit enemy aircraft at any time.

This thrilling scene was recorded truthfully by the Japanese war correspondents at the time.

It turned out that after all the students died, their teacher took off alone and resolutely rushed towards the formation of 32 enemy planes.

"My students have all died in the battle, now it's my turn as a teacher."】

Even though we knew that the Japanese fighter planes were far more powerful than ours, our pilots still went up to meet them without hesitation.

As the fighter planes in the picture fell from the sky with thick smoke, graduation photos of the Jiangqiao Aviation School appeared on the screen.

Like graduation photos of other schools, rows of cadets in military uniforms look radiant and ready to go.

The only difference is that in this photo, there is a cross standing next to each graduate.

Stepping out of school means stepping into the battlefield.

Take off, take off, take off again...

In order to defend China's airspace rights, they took off and drew their swords without hesitation!
Until it became the school motto: Our bodies, planes and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warships and positions.

There are 16 batches of graduates from the Jianqiao Aviation School, totaling more than 1700 pilots.

After all the efforts, they turned into 1700 cold tombstones...

The tone of the picture changes again.

The sky, which was originally filled with flames of war, gradually turned into a clear sky.

The young pilot under the blue sky and white clouds and the girl in red next to the airport are still vivid and lively.

"Lulu, Lulu, hurry up and leave Hangzhou with your family..."

"Chen Huaimin, I like you. If you like me too, just wave to me."

Just like before, the young girl's words made all the officers and soldiers on the fighter plane look over.

Just as the young pilot Chen Huaimin was holding back his response...

"He likes you, Lulu."

"Lulu, Chen Huaimin likes you!"

"Did you hear that, Lulu? Chen Huaimin likes you too!"

"After we drive the Japanese away, I will accompany him and take you home..."

A whole row of young pilots in fighter planes were all waving at the girl.

They laughed and shouted...the whole airport was filled with their youthful and heroic figures.
