"Company Commander, Company Commander, I've brought him back for you!"
The person calling Gu Zidi was a soldier, and behind him was Wang Jincun, the new instructor of the Ninth Company who covered himself tightly, with the red woolen scarf knitted by his wife back home wrapped around his neck.
This is the second time Wang Jincun, played by Chen Zuming, has appeared on screen. If the entire plot of the film is followed, he had a rivalry scene with Gu Zidi in a solitary room before this.
At that time, the two met for the first time. Gu Zidi ordered his men to shoot and kill an enemy officer who had raised his hands to surrender.
Wang Jincun was detained by the military court because of his cowardice and war-fearing behavior.
Liu Qingshan considered that unlike those mainland actors, Chen Zuming's knowledge of the two wars involved in the film was limited to part of the script. A simple understanding of the war was not enough.
Therefore, he planned to let Chen Zuming experience the filming of the cruel war scenes first-hand, and then go back to shoot that scene, so that he could better express the most believable side of Wang Jincun who was timid and afraid of death.
This character is actually the one with the most roles besides Gu Zidi, and he is the only relatively educated warrior in the Nine Company.
He was supposed to sit in a quiet classroom, read and write, and become an excellent teacher after graduation.
If there had been no war, he might have been able to grow old together with his wife Sun Guiqin and serve his elderly mother as a filial piety.
However, when the war came, Wang Jincun resolutely left school and went to the front line. Not only was he so frightened that he peed his pants on the battlefield, but he was also imprisoned because he did not have the courage to pick up a gun, so he got to know Gu Zidi.
Gu Zidi did not laugh at him like others. After accepting the task of blocking the battle, he applied to his superiors to bring him to the Ninth Company to serve as the company's instructor.
In that tragic blocking battle, Wang Jincun witnessed the cruelty of the war with his own eyes. He watched his comrades die one by one but was helpless. In the end, he finally changed from timid and cowardly to calm and brave. Finally, he fought bravely with other soldiers to kill the enemy until he was brave. Sacrifice and die heroically for our country with our comrades.
He is honest and timid, but he is the character with the biggest change in personality in the film, and he is also one of the characters with a very full image.
Gu Zi De is a typical image of soldiers in war years. He has rich combat experience but low education. He is straightforward but calm in situations.
Because of the previous tough battle, he lost the only literate instructor in the company, so he fell in love with this educated deserter in the solitary room.
Therefore, the rivalry scene between the two people seems to be calm and ordinary, but it has a connecting effect on the whole play.
Although Chen Zuming memorized the Mandarin lines very well, he inevitably lacked a bit of the realism that the characters in the play should have.
This kind of people are actually very common on the real battlefield. The timidity they showed in the war at the beginning, and the dual psychological torture of being questioned and self-denial that they suffered as a result, can better reflect the kind of people who are in war. Inner fear.
Liu Qingshan wants to make Chen Zuming more realistically reflect the cruelty of war, so that this character can truly become fuller and fully accepted by the audience.
He has one more advantage than the actor who played Wang Jincun in the original version, and that is a hidden temperament hidden under the bookish look of his handsome features. This kind of temperament may be useless on the battlefield, but it can be very good with the wife he later found all the way from his hometown. The character Sun Guiqin connects the two.
Sun Guiqin is quiet and kind-hearted but has a strong personality. Such a caring and intentional woman would not travel across mountains and rivers to find her alone for no reason. There must be something in Wang Jincun that she will never forget.
Of course, the biggest motive is that he died heroically but was counted as a missing person, but without a deep emotional foundation, this behavior of searching for a husband thousands of miles away loses its deeper meaning.
And if Wang Jincun, played by Chen Zuming, had a temperament other than frailty, the relationship between him and Sun Guiqin that was not emphasized in the film could be reflected in a subtle way.
This is the humanistic connotation that every excellent movie should have. It is not deliberately exaggerated in the plot, but it can be thought-provoking and enlighten the core connotation of life, cultural values and ideology.
It is an inner charm that can only be felt but cannot be expressed clearly, especially in war-themed movies. It will make people have vague aftertaste, emotion or preparation after getting into the plot. It is not very profound. But I can feel deeply.
It was with this mentality that Liu Qingshan moved the scene to a later stage. This was of course because Chen Zuming's acting skills were not up to standard. Perhaps it would not have been so expensive to replace him with another actor with superb acting skills. Zhou Zhang.
At this time, Gu Zidi in the plot turned around and asked Jiao Dapeng to temporarily keep the briefcase left by the previous instructor and put his hand around Wang Jincun's neck.
"Here, gun!" He handed another submachine gun into Wang Jincun's hand.
Then he stepped onto the trench and shouted: "Hey! Stop your hands!"
When the soldiers in the trench dropped their things and came over, he said loudly: "Let me introduce you to everyone! This is the new acting instructor of our Ninth Company, Comrade Wang Jincun, everyone is welcome!"
Wang Jincun quickly saluted with a military salute, but because he had wet his pants on the battlefield before, it happened in the company next door, so many soldiers knew about this man's "glorious deeds." , so the indifference on his face was more than the enthusiasm, and not many people echoed his words.
Some of them even had disgust in their eyes because of their deep relationship with their previous instructors.
"What's the matter, your fingers are frozen? Can I use a pickaxe to chisel for you?"
Seeing signs of anger in Gu Zi Di, everyone burst into applause.
He turned sideways and patted Wang Jincun on the back: "Instructor Wang is literate in Chinese characters. If anyone has something to leave for the family, please look for him!"

In fact, this was the reason why he tried every means to snatch this man into the company. At that time, most of the soldiers came from poor backgrounds and could not read a single word.
The war is cruel, and you may lose your life in the next moment. Who has not yet wanted to leave a few words to explain the aftermath to his family, so Wang Jincun, who can write letters on his behalf, will come in handy at this time.
Gu Zidi introduced him one after another.
"A row of long-scorched Dapeng, when we defeated Luoyang, we almost choked to death by eating pancakes to celebrate!"
"Demoman Lu Kuangou, sniper Jiang Maocai, third platoon deputy Meng Shilin, nicknamed Old Hedgehog!"
"Machine gunner Luo Guangtian, ammunition hand Gong Liangguo!"
Whenever Gu Zidi mentioned someone, Wang Jincun would give a military salute. Although he was timid, he still understood the rules in the army.
Gong Liangguo also returned the military salute, "Call me Heizi!"
Then he stood up and said, "Company Commander, I wrote a letter to my family. There are still a few words that I can't write. Ask the instructor to fill them in for me!"
Without being assigned by the company commander, Wang Jincun smiled slightly awkwardly, and for the first time he seemed to have a sense of mission.
Liu Qingshan's "click" sound also sounded at this moment.
He had been sitting in front of the monitor on a hill not far away. At this time, he stood up, clapped his hands and walked out: "Very good, very good. Everyone was on point in this section. It passed!"
Many people were applauding. Every filming location was like the beginning of another battle. The shooting of this section just now was so smooth, which was a good start for the new battlefield.
Chen Zuming kept beating his chest: "Everyone cooperated well. I was sweating all the time. I was so nervous! Fortunately, every one of my colleagues performed in a natural and not out of the ordinary way, which made me less nervous." Seizures come out.”
Liao Fang, who plays Jiao Dapeng, said with a smile: "Shanzi's script is still well written and detailed. I have experienced so many crews, and this is the first time I have seen every dialogue in the play punctuated accurately, even The characters and their expressions are all clearly drawn!”
Zhang Hanyu deeply agreed: "When I read the script, I felt like I was reading. Why do many screenwriters film with the team? That's because most of what is reflected in the current scripts is just a framework, and a lot of flesh and blood needs to be solved on the spot!"
Li Naiwen, who plays Lu Kuangou, also said: "Do you feel that our progress is extremely fast? The complete script is very important. The characters are flesh and blood. The actors only need to remember the lines and moves to understand the next plot development. Basically, all that’s left is to devote yourself physically and mentally, without any worries!”
The words of a few people are not all compliments. Liu Qingshan's script is indeed as detailed as this.
It is a more personal expression. Readers have different imaginations, but film and television have solidified this imagination.
Under normal circumstances, the screenwriter must go to the filming site. Only after being on the filming site will you know that every word he writes will be executed by hundreds or even thousands of people.
He also needs to think about the possibility of realizing his words.
Many things are one way of expression inside, but what is shown in movies or TV pictures is another way of expression.
But once it is clear how the actors' movements, language, expressions, and images are displayed in the movie, and it has been filmed, it will be easier for the actors to know how to do it through their own deeper understanding of the characters, plots, and emotions. Create an impressive character.
For example, Jin Yong's works are very film-based and Gu Long's are not.
Gu Long's expression is more contemporary, and he incorporates many contemporary elements of detective suspense instead of fighting.
So it's a big topic to talk about what kind of film and how to make it into a film and television, but Liu Qingshan obviously did it.
His script is like Jin Yong's, in that the action language that the character needs to be expressed is embodied in specific moves. Does the actor's performance become much more targeted?
But even though he knew this, he still had to be modest: "I did it so that I could be lazy during the filming, so as not to further narrate the scenes for each character. Besides, look at who you are! Your behind-the-scenes filming It’s more than the dramas I’ve filmed. My qualifications are too low and I don’t think I’m qualified enough to tell you dramas!”
His attitude won a lot of favor. Mr. Han, who came back two days ago, couldn't help but pout: "Did you see it? This man is not only smart, but also has great eloquence and skills. How can he become popular at such a young age? , based on this speaking skill alone, I wouldn’t be able to speak out even if I lived for 50 years or so!”
Naturally, he followed Uncle Benshan from the provincial capital, but because his body and bones needed to be recuperated before formal treatment, Uncle Benshan and several of his apprentices were currently staying in a hotel in the county town.
Even if it is not a comprehensive treatment, Liu Qingshan also prescribed him a medicinal soup blended with Zhangyu shochu. When his physical condition is suitable for ingesting Qi, he can start preliminary treatment.
Because Mr. Han was thinking about the moment when the miracle happened, he didn't excuse himself from being busy with work and rushed back to Kyoto. He just wanted to stay and see the treatment process with his own eyes.
Everyone else was echoing the third master's words, but Wang Baoqiang was in a state of being out of his mind. He was combining the words of the previous people to take out the script and look for differences from other scripts.
Although this guy has already filmed two movies, he is not very well-educated and has to refer to the dictionary when reading the script. It is not easy for him to read it fluently, let alone discover the ingenuity in it. .
