At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran and the movie star appeared on the lawn of Jinnu University. Like all the actors and staff now, Zhang Ran put on the crew's uniforms with the words "Angel of Justice, Zhang Ran's Movie" printed on it.

The crew of "Angel of Justice" was designed by Wang Daren, customized by the clothing factory under Century Dingfeng. The styles and styles are very outstanding. Not only ordinary employees of the crew like it, but even Amy Adams and Ulrich Tucker also like it very much. Amy Adams told Zhang Ran that when the movie is finished, she will collect this dress as a souvenir.

During this opening ceremony, Zhang Ran did not allow any leader to attend. He did not want the Japanese right wing and their supporters to make this statement. In addition to the main creator and staff of the film, Zhang Chunru's parents, Rabe's grandson Thomas Rabe, and Weiterin's granddaughter Cindy Weiterin.

After the opening ceremony officially began, Zhang Chunru's mother, Ms. Zhang Yingying, came on stage to speak: "Chunru likes movies very much. She always believes that the promotion of movies is stronger than that of books. It is her wish to turn books into movies. Now her wish has finally come true. I believe that she will be very pleased to see them in the sky."

Then Thomas Rabe and Cindy Weiterin also delivered a brief speech. Then, Zhang Ran held the microphone and said with a smile: "I have been making movies for about 14 years. Among the movies I have made, two movies have spent the most time, one is "The Flyer" and the other is "The Angel of Justice". 11 years ago, after hearing the news of Ms. Zhang Chunru's unfortunate death, I decided to make this movie. But at that time, I was not enough to control such a heavy subject and dare not take action rashly. Now I am finally ready and confident that I can make this movie well. In my future work, I hope that all departments will unite and show their best state to make this movie well. I hope that this movie will allow more audiences to enter the cinema and let more foreign audiences understand this history. I will say this, thank you everyone!"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, there was applause from the audience.

Then, under the gaze of thousands of people at the scene, Zhang Ran, Zhang Yingying, Thomas Rabe, and Cindy Weitlin, each grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled the red cloth hard to reveal a brand new camera.

After the opening ceremony, Zhang Ran took a photo with the relatives of the three protagonists and the leading actors of the movie. Then everyone was invited to the crew's cafeteria for a very rich lunch.

After lunch, the crew's main creator drove to the hill behind the seminary to prepare for the afternoon shooting.

The movie "Angel of Justice" has three lines, and the three lines have few connections, and they all develop independently. Even the rival scenes between Weiterin and Rabe are pitifully few. The arrangement of the filming of the entire movie is to first shoot Rabe's scenes in China, then Weiterin's scenes, then film Rabe's scenes when Rabe returned to Germany, and then film Zhang Chunru's scenes, and then film the scenes where Rabe, who was poor in 1948, received food and money from Nanjing citizens. At this time, Rabe was very thin due to illness and poverty, and the actors had to lose weight, and finally filmed some final scenes.

The scene to be filmed today is that on December 8, the International Committee issued a "Letter to Nanjing Citizens", announcing the official opening of the safe zone and erecting the International Red Cross flag to show the neutrality and humanitarianness of the safe zone. Refugees rushed into the refugee zone like a tide. But at this time, Rabe and Sperin discovered that the Kuomintang army did not withdraw from the safe zone as agreed, and re-arranged fortifications and anti-aircraft gun positions. After they responded to the garrison headquarters, Colonel Long Yingqin and Colonel Zhou of the General Staff came with them to the hill behind the seminary to check the situation.

The National Government recognized the safe zone on November 22, but the Japanese military refused to recognize the Nanjing safe zone on the grounds of hindering military operations. Until December 5, the Japanese authorities claimed in their official reply to the safe zone that it had no intention of attacking areas where Chinese troops and military facilities were not deployed. In Rabe and others, the prerequisite for the Japanese army not to attack the safe zone is the demilitarization of the safe zone. Therefore, it is very important for the Chinese army to withdraw from the safe zone, and they have been working on this matter.

Soon, the actors who played Tucker, Duan Yihong, who played Long Yingqin, and the actors who played Spelling and Colonel Zhou all stood in the performance area, and the other staff members of the crew were all in place.

After a long series of passwords rang, Zhang Ran behind the monitor shouted the last password: "Start!"

After hearing the "start", Tucker, who played Rabe, pointed to the anti-aircraft gun position at the foot of the mountain and said anxiously: "Now the safety zone has been started, and your soldiers not only took away a lot of the safety zone boundary flags that had just been raised, but also built artillery positions and fortifications in the safety zone. How can you not keep your promise?"

Duan Yihong, who plays Long Yingqin, replied: "The situation is very critical now. The defending troops need to build fortifications here, prepare for street fighting, and resist the enemy troops attacking the city. We must requisition this section in the southwest corner of the security zone."

Rabe spread his hands and defended loudly: "It was difficult for the Japanese side to agree not to take military action against the safe zone. Now, you will put the entire safe zone in danger."

Long Yingqin said with a firm tone: "General Tang has ordered to fight against the enemy and defend Nanjing to the death."

"You..." Before Rabe finished speaking, he suddenly looked up into the air. Spellin, Long Yingqin and Colonel Zhou beside him also looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Zhang Ran, who was sitting behind the monitor, shouted: "Stop!" He stood up and shouted: "Everyone is doing well, let's have another one!"

The filming started over and the actors' performances were still outstanding this time, but Zhang Ran still did not shout "then", but asked for "one more". It was not until the third item was finished that Zhang Ran announced that this shot had passed.

The next few scenes are Rabe and the others lying on the ground, raising their faces to observe the battle between the Japanese bombers and the Chinese defenders.

The final effect of the movie is that three Japanese bombers roared through the air, and the Chinese defenders' anti-aircraft artillery positions immediately fired violently. One of the anti-aircraft artillery positions was just under the hillside, only a few dozen meters away from Rabe and the others. You can clearly see tracer bombs rushing into the sky. But these contents are invisible now and must be completed through special effects.

However, because special effects need to be added, these lenses not only need to consider the performance issue, but also the effects after the special effects are added. After each lens is shot, the special effects group will perform a simple synthesis and combine the special effects lenses for Zhang Ran to let Zhang Ran confirm whether they are the effect he wants. Therefore, these lenses are relatively slow and took an hour and a half to complete.

After these shots were taken, we continued to film the conversation between Rabe and Colonel Long. This part of the play involved refugees at the foot of the mountain and needed to use extras. After receiving Zhang Ran's notice, the deputy director immediately asked the extras who had already put on makeup and waited for a long time to prepare for the shooting. At the same time, dozens of old cars also drove to designated locations to prepare for the shooting.

After the first deputy director confirmed that each group was ready, Zhang Ran began to issue orders: "The car starts, prepare for 30 seconds!", "The recorder starts!", "Start!", "Play the board!", "Outdoors walk around!", "Start!"

As Zhang Ran's command to "start" sounded, Rabe and the other four climbed up from the ground. Sperling patted the soil on his body and said with regret: "What a pity! The artillery fire was miserable."

"It should be said that fortunately, the artillery fire went wrong!" Rabe looked very ugly, and he turned to look at Long Yingqin and said, "If Japanese planes find anti-aircraft artillery positions in the safe area and carry out artillery and bombing, it is tantamount to a bloody massacre!"

Long Yingqin emphasized: "If soldiers want to defend the inner city, they must set up this place as a battlefield."

Rabe questioned Long Yingqin: "China officially recognized the safe zone as early as November 22. We notified the Japanese side of this situation after China accepted the safe zone. If the Japanese side knew that there were troops in the safe zone, they would bomb us mercilessly, and the safe zone would become a huge dangerous zone!"

Long Yingqin retorted: "We don't want this either, but when the war comes to this, we don't care about anything else!"

Rabe finally got angry and shouted: "I quit. I can't be the chairman! I will call the head of state Hitler. Since General Tang does not keep his promise, the safe zone will not be able to continue to exist!"

Sperin pulled Rabe and pointed to the refugees at the foot of the mountain, like an ant colony, and said to Long Yingqin: "Now a large number of refugees are rushing towards the safe area. With the original population of the safe area, there are more than 100,000 people in the entire safe area! Such people are concentrated in this area. If Japanese planes come to bomb, how many people will die? They are your compatriots, how can you bear it!"

A sad look flashed in Long Yingqin's eyes and sighed, "Two gentlemen, we are just executing orders."

Rabe also knew that Long Yingqin had made the decision, sighed and said to Sperling: "Let's go, it's useless to tell them, let's just protest with Tang Shengzhi!" After that, Rabe pulled Sperling down the mountain with anxiety.

"Stop! Everyone is doing well, let's do it again!"

The four actors present were all very professional actors and their performance standards were very high. However, Zhang Ran did not give anyone a chance to pass by. Each shot should be shot at least three times. The first is to be familiar with the state, the second is to take real shots, and the third is to provide more materials for the later stage to protect the safety of this shot. The same is true for this shot. After taking three times, Zhang Ran announced that it would be approved.

The next scene is that Rabe and his friends came down from the mountain and headed to the garrison headquarters. On the way, they met Han Xianglin and organized a convoy to transport grain from outside the car. Rabe talked with Han Xianglin and asked about the situation outside the city.

Han Xianglin is Rabe's secretary. In "Nanjing Nanjing", Rabe's secretary was described as a traitor, and the Japanese army finally killed him. Han Xianglin in history was not only not a traitor, but also a real hero. After Han Xianglin was appointed as the director of the Food Committee of the Security Zone by Rabe, he quickly organized a convoy and transported a large amount of grain, coal and salt from outside the city in the fire of artillery. It was this grain that later saved countless refugees.

After Rabe left Nanjing, Han Xianglin stayed at No. 1, Xiaofanqiao, and continued to rescue refugees. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Han Xianglin also appeared in court to testify accusing the Japanese army of atrocities and wrote "Han Xianglin's Oral Tale: The Japanese Army's Hate International Rescue Organization". It is really shameful to Lu Chuan smear such a person into a traitor!

The protagonists of the Nanjing Massacre part of the movie "Angel of Justice" are Rabe and Weiterin, but Zhang Ran still hopes to film the Chinese's struggle and self-rescue, rather than becoming the background board of Rabe and Weiterin, so he arranged for characters like Han Xianglin and Cheng Ruifang to appear.

Zhang Ran looked at the time. It was already 4:30. The scene of meeting Han Xianglin involved the dispatch of vehicles and a large number of extras. It took time to prepare. There would definitely be no end to film today. Zhang Ran stood up and announced loudly: "I'll shoot this day! Thank you for your hard work! Everyone goes back early to rest, and we will continue tomorrow!" After that, he took the lead in applauding.

The staff on the scene also clapped and the whole scene was filled with applause.
Chapter completed!
