Li Yi temporarily put aside the matter of proposing to Director Mu.
Mainly because there are some things that really make me feel itchy when I get excited about them.
Li Yi did not write the script immediately, but approached Zhao Guangming.
"It seems you have an idea for a new movie?" Zhao Guangming asked curiously while making tea.
Li Yi nodded and said: "I watched the documentary "Ice-Blooded Changjin Lake" broadcast on CCTV's Six Princess Channel last night, and I came up with the idea of making a film about this battle."
"That's great! It's rare that you want to make a movie like this, what? How can I help you?" Zhao Guangming poured a cup of tea for Li Yi and asked with a smile.
"I really want to ask for your help, Director Zhao. Although I have filmed "Garland Under the Mountain" and "War Meridian" before, you know, these two are said to be war films, but in fact, there is no real war. Big scenes, and if you want to make a movie about the Battle of Changjin Lake, then there will definitely be big scenes, and you will also need the support of the military! I am really not very good at this aspect, especially scheduling such big scenes, shooting such It's a drama, so I came to see you, Director Zhao." Li Yi said bluntly.
"This is easy. You can cooperate with Huaying. If you are not good at shooting war scenes or planning big scenes, I can help you find the right person. As for the support of the military, you, Director Li, want to make a war movie with the main theme. This is not a problem at all." Zhao Guangming said with a smile.
"That's good!" Although Li Yi knew that it would be easier to find Zhao Guangming, he didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Is there more?" Zhao Guangming asked again.
"The documentary "Ice-Blooded Lake Changjin" was very well shot. I want to write a related script and need a lot of information about this battle. If the other party can make such a documentary, I think there should be ready-made information available. For reference, I would like to ask Director Zhao to recommend the director Zhou Shan of this documentary. I remember that this documentary was also produced by Bayi Film Factory." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
Although he had existing movies as reference, if he could learn more relevant information, the filming would be smoother.
In fact, Li Yi could also go directly to Bayi Film Studio for cooperation. If he came to him, he really didn't need to worry about whether the other party was willing to cooperate.
However, he has always been used to dealing with Zhao Guangming, and the two of them can be considered old friends.
Therefore, Li Yi did seek help from Zhao Guangming, but to put it another way, it was actually Li Yi who reciprocated the favor and invited Huaying to make the movie "Changjin Lake" together.
Zhao Guangming naturally understands this point.
It's just that some things don't need to be said clearly.
"Old Zhou, I know him well, but it's really not a coincidence. Old Zhou went to Xizhang to shoot a documentary. However, you just want information. I'll give him a call and ask him to record "Ice Blood" "Changjin Lake" information can be brought to you. As for those who have experienced it, this is really difficult for me." Zhao Guangming said with a smile.
"You also know that there are really not many people who witnessed that war. However, if you just want to know more relevant information, go directly to CCTV's military channel and find Professor Li Zhanbing, an expert in military history. He specializes in this and should be able to get what you want." Zhao Guangming thought for a while and then said.
...
Zhao Guangming is very efficient.
The next day, someone sent Li Yi the relevant information collected by Zhou Shan during the filming of the "Ice Blood Changjin Lake" documentary.
A whole box of information.
On the contrary, Li Yi was not in a hurry to go to CCTV to find Professor Li Zhanbing.
The information on "Ice-Blooded Changjin Lake" alone was enough for him to read for a while.
Li Yi first reviewed the complete version of "Ice-Blooded Changjin Lake".
Black and white images and veterans’ stories.
It explains the historical background of this battle. At that time, the Xinhua Kingdom had just been established for a year, and it could be said that it was really full of waste.
But this battle had to be fought, which made Li Yi couldn't help but say what he said in the movie "Changjin Lake": If we don't fight this battle, our next generation will.
It was as if I had a deeper understanding.
This was really a battle for the founding of the country. The corps mobilized at that time was the Ninth Corps, which was formed from troops stationed in various places in the south. They were supposed to gather and rest in Sy and put on thick winter clothes.
But due to a change in plans, the train headed straight to the Yalu River without stopping.
Therefore, they could only enter the Northern Dynasty directly wearing the thin winter clothes issued by the south. In order to hide, the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army could only fumble forward in the dark.
The snow was knee-deep and extremely cold.
These soldiers from the south wore rubber shoes, and many of them had frostbite on their legs and feet.
Some of these warriors from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River even saw such heavy snow for the first time in their lives. In the bone-chilling low temperature of nearly minus 60 degrees, they had no experience in resisting the cold in alpine areas.
The gray-haired veteran in the picture recalled: "When I walked, I didn't know if the foot was still mine."
The clothes were also too thin. In order to keep out the cold, they could only take some cotton wool from the quilts they carried with them and make them into earmuffs and gloves.
"Don't corns have corn silk? Take off the corn silk and wrap your feet to keep warm. At that time, you must do everything possible to ensure that the troops do not suffer a large number of non-combat attrition before the battle."
Even in such cold and extreme weather, the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army still arrived at the combat position as scheduled.
On the evening of November 27, a general attack on the 1st Marine Division of the M Army was launched.
General M's army was divided and surrounded in the Changjin Lake area.
To be honest, many people may know about this battle and that it is a classic battle in which the weak defeated the strong since the founding of China. However, if you don’t read this information, you will not understand at all. In order to win this battle, , what price was paid.
Because at that time, the conditions of the soldiers were really too bad, and the battlefield environment was so bad. Under all-round disadvantages, how difficult it was to win such a battle, no one has experienced it personally. It's really unimaginable.
"The surrounded M Army tried to break out. The M Army located in Gutuli formed a task force of about 1,000 people and occupied a small highland in advance."
In the picture, the veteran continued to speak, his tone seemed calm.
“The task received by the 173rd Regiment of the 58th Division of the 20th Army of the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army is to capture the small high ground.
However, after the order was issued, the soldiers did not act immediately. "
At this point, the veteran's tone could no longer calm down.
He couldn't help but swallowed more: "The soldiers made a request to the regiment leader. They said they were not afraid of death and were confident of taking the small high ground.
The only request is that the group leader can give each person a few potatoes.
Because the soldiers had spent two days in the ice and snow without eating anything. "
“But the group leader cried silently after hearing this, because he couldn’t even satisfy such a simple request.
And given the conditions at the time, even if there were potatoes, it would be difficult to eat them.
Boiled potatoes will freeze into ice cubes if they are not eaten immediately. "
After saying that, tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of the veteran's eyes.
It is really unimaginable for us who live in an era of peace, in an era where materials are abundant and have never gone hungry!
