Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

On March 23rd, when the new Jingwumen starring Zhou Xingchi was in theaters, Qiao Feng flew to the United States to attend the 63rd Academy Awards ceremony. In Los Angeles and Gongli, Zhang Yimou met, after dinner in the evening , Qiao Feng and Gong Li got angry all night.

The next day, the refreshed Qiao Feng met with Spielberg who also came to the award ceremony.

The focus of Qiao Feng's coming to the United States is not to attend the Oscars, because his company's films did not get too heavy nominations this year.

One of the reasons for coming to the United States is to be with Gongli.

Her starring Judou was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, and she was an Oscar actress last year. As usual, this year is to be presented as a guest of honor.

The other and most important reason is that the final script of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins has been set, and he has come to talk with Spielberg in detail.

The script of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins was changed several times. Qiao Feng, Spielberg and the two screenwriter teams all participated in the script creation.

The final script is very different from the original Jinling Thirteen Hairpins.

The story starts from memories, but not directly from the students Shujuan and the others on their way to escape after the fall of Nanjing.

The story begins with the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. The elderly Shujuan mourns and pays homage to the memorial hall on the day it was completed.

Shujuan saw Yumo's name on the wall of the list of victims and fell into memories of that year.

Recalling that from the fall of Nanjing, a group of their students prepared to escape from Nanjing by boat depending on the father of one of their classmates, but failed to escape and had to escape back to the Church of Santa Maria.

In the original version, they encountered a group of soldiers from the teaching corps Li instructor who were evacuating on their way back, and then these soldiers fought with Japanese soldiers and escorted them back to church.

But Qiao Feng didn't want to simply talk about the bravery of the national army, because that did not conform to the facts.

Therefore, Qiao Feng and Spielberg discussed that they would add the Japanese army siege, the Kuomintang army from fighting to hurriedly withdrawing and fleeing.

Before the Nanjing Massacre, the Kuomintang Party decided to defend Nanjing to give up in a hurry and chose to retreat. There are no considerations, but the inaction of the Kuomintang's upper echelons is certain.

If we decided to retreat because Nanjing was unsafe at the beginning, the number of deaths in the Nanjing Massacre would definitely not be a huge number of over 300,000.

However, the National Party decided to stick to it. Of course, there was an important person, General Tang.

He argued that Nanjing is the national capital, where Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum is located, as well as international observations and the retreat of the cover forces, etc., he advocated holding Nanjing firmly, which was finally approved by Chiang.

General Tang publicly stated on many occasions that he would coexist and die with Nanjing, and promised Jiang that he would never retreat without order.

In order to prevent the troops from crossing the river without permission, Tang adopted a deadly attitude.He ordered the troops to hand over the controlled ships to the headquarters, and withdrew the two ferries from Shimonoseki to Pukou to Wuhan. He also ordered the 36th Division to block the only passage from Nanjing to the Xiaguan Pier, Jiangmen. The order of "break the boat and sink the boat" laid hidden dangers for the tragic retreat.

From December 1, 37, the Japanese army officially began to attack Nanjing. The so-called defense of Nanjing lasted less than 12 days.

On the 11th, Jiang telegraphed Tang, "If the situation cannot last for a long time, you can retreat one after another, plan to organize and counterattack."

On the 12th, Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, who was in charge of defending the Zhonghua Gate, took part of the troops and fled to the gate without authorization. Although Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, was dissuaded from returning, it had already caused chaos in the city.

Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, is the old son of Taiwanese movie star Qin Han.

In the twelve days, there was almost no easing from holding on to the decision to retreat, and no preparation was made at all for the retreat.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Tang hurriedly arranged the retreat for the generals and above.

According to the retreat deployment, except for the cover headquarters of the 36th Division and the direct troops crossing the river from Xiaguan, the other troops must break through from the front. However, Tang was worried that the direct line of the Central Army would lose too much in the break, and verbally ordered the 87th Division, The 88th Division, the 74th Army and the Teaching Corps "If they can't break through all of them, they can cross the river when there is a ferry."

At this time, the upper echelons are still making their own calculations, and Tang still wants to protect Jiang's line of the Central Army.

The result is even greater chaos.

After the meeting, only the 66th Army and the 83rd Army belonging to the Cantonese Department, led by commanders Ye Zhao and Deng Longguang, broke through the encirclement frontally. After paying a huge price, they successfully broke through the Japanese encirclement. The 159th Division's acting commander, Luo Cequn, died in battle.

Most of the other army officers did not fully communicate the retreat deployment downwards, and left their troops to the river to flee by pre-controlled ships.

In the evening, Tang vowed to coexist and die with Nanjing and escaped by a reserved ship.

The officers left behind their stubborn troops and fled. These troops heard that the officers retreated to Xiaguan, thinking that the riverfront was ready to retreat, so they gave up their positions and rushed to Xiaguan.

Then because the 36th Division, which was responsible for the blockade of Jijiangmen, did not receive an order to allow the troops to retreat, they clashed with the troops who retreated from the city to Xiaguan, and many people were killed or trampled to death.

The Chinese defenders who fled to Xiaguan had lost their organization and became chaotic skirmishers. Some of them crossed the river by rafting themselves, and many drowned or were shot and killed by the Japanese troops who had arrived.

Most of the Chinese soldiers who failed to cross the river or break through the siege were scattered on the streets of Nanjing. Many people gave up their weapons and changed into civilian clothes to hide in the Nanjing safety zone.

Then the massacre began.

Of course, there were bloody soldiers who fought hard and served the country with their lives in the defense of Nanjing, but more of them were abandoned and lacked fighting spirit. They were like headless flies and the so-called leaders of the national army who only cared about themselves and ignored their subordinates.

In fact, Qiao Feng originally wanted to show in the movie that the upper ranks of the national army only protected themselves, but then thought that if this were the case, I would be too sorry for the soldiers who fought blood in the war and the 159th division who died in the battle. A patriotic general such as the commander Luo Cequn will also make the audience feel too sad and too negative to watch.

Therefore, after discussing with Spielberg in the end, I decided to spend a certain amount of time presenting the real scene of the defense of the national army and the hurried retreat before the Nanjing Massacre, while giving the audience a little positive energy and a little hope.

Similar to the original Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, they joined a soldier in the teaching corps resisting the Japanese army.

The reason why I want to join the teaching corps and not other troops is because the equipment of the teaching corps is the most sophisticated in the national army and the quality of personnel is also the best.

During this period, it was indeed a bloody battle.

From the Battle of Songhu, the teaching corps suffered a lot of casualties. Returning to Nanjing, it also suffered heavy casualties in the defense battle. The teaching corps second regiment battalion commander killed five people, almost all casualties.

However, Captain Qi, like Tang and other officers, ran away by himself when retreating.

Although Captain Gui persisted to the last day, I have to say that some of the national army is official, and may be vigorous when fighting, but when retreating, he is the fastest.

Therefore, Qiao Feng will not arrange for these soldiers to escort the students to the church in the movie, because they will not take care of others during the retreat.

They encountered the Japanese army during the retreat. They fought while retreating. After making great sacrifices, they finally got rid of the Japanese army. The few wounded who survived ran away and two of them fled to the church.

And in the church, it is not only the students who have escaped, but also the escaped Qin Huai girl and soldiers.

Because after the Nanjing city was broken, there was no place that could be used as a shelter. There would only be a few simple groups in a foreigner’s church.

In addition to the students who fled back, Miss Qin Huai, there were dozens of old and weak women and children inside the soldiers, as well as a female missionary Minnie who taught students on weekdays.

This is also the biggest difference from the original Jinling thirteen hairpins. The thirteen hairpins that Qiao Feng wants are not all girls on the Qinhuai River.
