It was not the first time that frigate No. 50 had filmed a movie. In 1959, when filming the movie Sea Hawk, the warship followed the film crew around the Yellow Sea and East China Sea for half a year. The director and famous actor Wang Xingang and Wang Xiaotang often went out to sea with the ship and ate and stayed on the ship. There were also photos of them living on the ship and photos of them with the officers and soldiers on the ship. Wang Guangshu and Li Guangxing from the same hometown had told Ah Hui the story of their movie, Sea Hawk, many times. I've been to Qinghuangdao, Tsingtao, Yantai, and Weihai. In order to film the seascape in the south in summer, they even went to Fujian's Ningbo-Xiamen. The scenery along the coast of the motherland was simply too beautiful. This Li Guangxing was tall, and he was dancing with joy as he spoke. He was drooling as if he had enjoyed every place he went. Therefore, when they accepted the new mission, not only did they not feel embarrassed, but they were also very excited. Ah Hui was also looking forward to going out to sea as soon as possible. He even looked forward to the warship sailing along the coastline, from Dalian to Yingkou, from Qinghuangdao to Tianjin, and then to Caofeidian, which was not far from his hometown, Xiawang Village.
In fact, the warship was only a prop during the entire filming process. The warship would sail to the sea area where the rehearsal would be held. Acting was the actors 'business. Lin Nong Wang Yimin Li Moran came to the ship every day. Li Moran had makeup on. He played Deng Shichang. The actors 'acting had nothing to do with the soldiers, and they were not allowed to watch the show. Therefore, the filming was the same as when they were out at sea. The sailors were still in their positions, observing and watching or learning their business.
Li Zisheng, the brigade's political commissar, thought that this was a good opportunity to carry out political and ideology work on the ship. He and Captain Ding Naiku personally came to the ship to discuss with the captain and political commissar how to seize the opportunity to do a good job in political studies. He said," The 1894 - 1895 Sea War was the largest naval battle in the history of the Celestial Empire and the Celestial Navy. Both the Japanese and Qing governments had invested the greatest amount of resources into this war. The Celestial Empire had invested the most, but they had suffered the most losses. The Northern Fleet that Li Hongzhang had painstakingly managed was completely annihilated. In the end, they signed a treaty, and the Celestial Empire ceded land and paid reparations.”Commissar Li paused for a moment and turned to Captain Fan." What treaty did you say?”
"The treaty of Shimanseki."
Commissar Li smiled and said," Commissar Jiang, do you know what the main content of the treaty is?”
"We will cede Taiwan, Penghu, and the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan. We will pay 200 million taels of silver as compensation, and…"
Commissar Li smiled and said," Not bad, not bad. These two are the main ones. Also, sigh, I might as well read them to you."”He casually took out a book and said," This is the modern history of the Celestial Dynasty. There is the treaty of Shimanto in it. Let me read it aloud. Listen to this.
The main content of the treaty was to recognize Japan's control over North Korea. 2. To cede the Liaodong Peninsula, the entire island of Taiwan, and all the affiliated islands and the Penghu Archipelago. 3. Compensate 200,000,000 taels of silver for military expenses. 4. Open Shashi, Chungking, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. 5. Japan is allowed to set up factories at trading ports. When products are shipped to the mainland, they will only pay taxes on imported goods and are allowed to set up warehouses in the mainland. The treaty also stipulated that in order to ensure that China fulfilled the treaty, Japan temporarily occupied Weihai."
Commissar Li raised his head slightly after he finished reading and said," How was it? Comrades, this is the treaty of Shimanto. What a great humiliation!"
"This is outrageous. The Japanese are going too far!”Captain Fan couldn't help but say angrily.
"So, don't think that filming a movie is the director's business and not ours. We must seize this golden opportunity to conduct a good political study and carry out patriotic education. This would raise everyone's level of thinking and political awareness. Everyone was a good warrior, and all of them had true abilities. The quality of our troops will be greatly improved.”
"Alright, alright. We will definitely seize this opportunity.”Captain Fan and Political Commissar Jiang said.
Commissar Li and Captain Ding Naiku were very satisfied with the attitude of the two chiefs. In the end, Political Commissar Li also instructed,
"Study it carefully, make a plan, and report it to the political department of the well district.”
The plan reported on the ship was quickly approved. Once the movie started shooting, it was carried out according to plan. It was mainly to arrange the work on the ship according to the progress of the movie. First, there was a meeting on the ship. Political Commissar Jiang hosted it, Assistant Ma introduced the history of the Jiawu War, and the representatives of the soldiers from various departments spoke. Ah Hui's speech," Blood and Tears of the 1894 - 1895 War and Its Historical lessons ", became the main speech. He was valued by his leaders and praised by his comrades.
As he studied deeper, he organized to visit the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Loyalists in Lushun. It was the relic of the Jiawu War. During the 1894 - 1895 War, after the Japanese army captured Lushun, they were fiercely resisted by the soldiers and civilians of Lushun. The Japanese bandits began a massacre, killing more than 10,000 compatriots. Buried at the foot of the Silver Mountain, called the Tomb of Ten Thousand Loyalty
Sometimes, the ship even invited old people who had experienced the war to come and give a report. During the filming process, Deng Shichang (played by Li Moran) came to the ship every day. His tall, burly, solemn, loyal, brave and resolute artistic image was an influence and education to people. As a soldier, one should be like Deng Shichang.
Throughout the filming process, Li Zisheng's political commissar, Captain Ding Naiku, often came to the ship to guide the work. They were very satisfied with the work on the ship.
One day, Squad Leader Yan brought over a lot of military uniforms. They were Japanese navy uniforms. The words on the hat were " Imperial Japanese Navy ". The class monitor distributed the clothes to everyone." Come, come. Everyone has a set. Put them on!”The soldiers hesitated, wondering why they were wearing foreign clothes. The class monitor said," Look, the flagpole is hung with the Japanese flag. Quickly change your clothes." Everyone was even more confused. Squad Leader Yan smiled and said," This is acting, making a movie."
It turned out that the movie was filming a scene like this: On September 16, 1894, the navy admiral Ding Ruchang led more than ten ships of the Beiyang Fleet to escort the Qing army to Dadonggou. At 11:00 on the 17th, just as the Beiyang Fleet was preparing to return to Lushun, they were intercepted by the Japanese fleet. At 12:55, the Japanese ships fired at me. In the fierce battle, Ding Ruchang was injured, and the Zhiyuan ship was shot in many places. The hull tilted and the ammunition was exhausted. At the critical moment, Deng Shichang resolutely gave the order to charge at the enemy ship at full speed, intending to perish together with the enemy ship. Unfortunately, they were hit by Japanese torpedoes and sank. All 250 officers and soldiers of the ship were sacrificed. The Jingyuan warship caught fire and was hit by a torpedo while chasing the enemy ship. Lin Yongsheng and the entire ship's officers and soldiers continued to fire until it sank. Of the 270 people on the ship, 16 were rescued and all sacrificed their lives for the country.
The director of the movie seemed to want to create such a scene: The soldiers of the Northern Ocean Navy faced a warship that caught fire and sank. They fought fearlessly until they died for their country. Their loyalty and bravery were not only admired by the people of China, but even the Japanese, who had crazily shot them, were moved. They lined up on the deck and watched the sinking Chinese warship, paying their respects to the Chinese soldiers. Squad Leader Yan took the lead to put on the Japanese navy uniform and helped Ah Hui put on her hat. They stood on the deck of the ship. They saluted the sunken Beiyang warship. At this moment, they were wearing Japanese military uniforms, but their hearts were in heaven. They hated the invaders and mourned for the martyrs. Squad Leader Yan even cried out loud as he watched the Zhiyuan warship slowly sink.
After the movie," The Wind and Cloud of 1894 - 1895 " was finished, the first thing they gave the ship was a film. There was a projector on the ship. The officers and soldiers were the first to watch the movie. It could be said that the pavilion closest to the water benefited first. The only scene of the crew on the ship that appeared in the film was Squad Leader Yan, Ah Hui, and the others. They were wearing Japanese military uniforms and hats from " The Great Japan Navy " as they saluted the sunken Beiyang warship. Squad Leader Yan and Ah Hui were crying, looking very sad. People commented that if the Japanese sank us, would they still be merciful?
In the future, there wouldn't be such a scene in movies. It was deleted during editing. Because it was not the truth of history. Warriors were not actors after all. Squad Leader Yan and Ah Hui had forgotten that they were wearing Japanese navy uniforms. He was playing the role of a Japanese soldier.
