Anecdotal legends of Hengdian

In the past three years, Hengdian has produced about 50 anti-Japanese dramas every year. 20 1 1 SARFT released the entertainment tendency of individual anti-war dramas in informed criticism. Liu Zhiliang immediately ordered the company to shoot "Wolf Smoke Everywhere": the probability of the death of the national army and the Japanese army should reach 1: 1, "The death of the devil cannot be exaggerated."

As a result, Xu Jizhou received two whole pages, with more than 80 revisions. Among them, a story about the Japanese disguised as the Eighth Route Army and went deep into the hinterland of Wutai Mountain in Shanxi to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was deleted on the grounds that "the brutality of the Japanese army can be emphasized, but its military quality cannot be displayed".

"Then why should I be thankless?" Xu Jizhou can't laugh or cry. "Just make the Japanese idiot simple." In 20 10, Xu Jizhou didn't bother to portray villains when he wrote his second anti-Japanese drama "Famous Works through the Ages". In the play, the Japanese No.1 officer went from calm to crazy under the mountain. Xu Jizhou said that he made up the story by referring to the character Saito Ichi in the Japanese manga "Grand Theft Auto".

Director Haoran remembers that when filming the gunman, he also wanted to add an anti-war detail at the end: the protagonist's wife wanted to make a gun for the child with shrapnel, and the protagonist replied, "Let's make a life lock with shrapnel."

The plan was finally rejected on the grounds that it was "inconsistent with the theme".

For Xu Jizhou, the most painful thing is to modify the uncertainty of the standard. "Sometimes a gloomy style can kill the whole play." . After several struggles, he found out some general taboos: the national character of China, the human nature of the Japanese army, and the specific combat situation ...

Screenwriter Yu Fei finally decided on the red line hanging overhead: "I can't write Japanese well. They are only symbolic figures. They are black symbols. There is no need to make this color deviate. "

Film and television producers are treading on thin ice. This year, Liu Zhijiang requires all employees of the company to study relevant policies and organize examinations, and those who fail will be dismissed.

Liu Zhiliang immediately ordered the company to shoot "Wolf Smoke Everywhere": the probability that the national army and the Japanese army were killed respectively should reach 1: 1, and "the death of the devil cannot be exaggerated"
