Chapter 994: Battleship Island
South Korean films have always been famous for their daring approach to filming, not hesitating to expose their own nation's bad qualities on the screen, and there are many wonderful films even on mainstream themes.
"The Attorney," based on former President Roh Moo-hyun, tells the story of a lawyer defending the democratic movement;
Seoul Spring, based on real historical events;
"The Crucible", adapted from a real campus sexual assault case, exposing the darkness of society and the corruption of power;
"Hope" is based on a real child sexual abuse case and focuses on the struggle and healing of the victim's family;
"Mogadishu," adapted from a real diplomatic incident, tells the story of North Korean and South Korean diplomats working together to rescue their compatriots;
"The Taegukgi: Flying Flag" and "Joint Security Area", which are set in North and South Goryeo;
Films such as "Harbin" and "Assassination", which are based on Ahn Jung-geun, can be considered mainstream films.
However, these films are not very suitable for Xia Haoyang to forcibly fit into the China of this time and space. However, there is one film that can be used, and that is "Battleship Island".
It not only deeply exposes human nature, but is also cruel and sensational!
"Battleship Island", starring Hwang Jung-min, So Ji-kyu, Song Joong-ki and Lee Jung-hyun, was released in 2017. Whether you regard it as a war film, a drama or an action film, the actors' acting skills, the smoothness of the plot and the setting of the movie scenes are all masterpieces of the time.
Simply put, this film is about a group of Koreans who were deceived into "working" on a "Battleship Island" in Japan. After the protagonists with different purposes arrived on the island, the men were immediately forced by the Japanese on the island to work as miners, while the women were forced to work as comfort women, slaves or cleaners.
In the movie, the Japanese people euphemistically pay them to work, but in fact, the working conditions are extremely unequal and harsh. For example, the protagonists come here by boat from Busan, and all the meals and other matters where they work are deducted from their so-called "monthly salary", and the rest is converted into monthly salary for the protagonists and their group.
However, the protagonists then discovered that they had come to a place more painful than hell, living a life without light, and everyone could only survive in "their own way"!
At this time, a soldier who was carrying out a secret mission also sneaked into this "Battleship Island". Then the soldier discovered that the lord of the island knew that Japan was about to be defeated and surrender. In order to avoid the trial after the defeat, he planned to kill this group of enslaved Koreans and make all the witnesses who could prove the atrocities disappear.
So the soldier began to plan an escape plan. He wanted to lead the remaining 400 people to escape to a coal transport ship on the coast of "Gunkanjima". The thrilling process of the protagonist and his group escaping to the coal transport ship became the most important film scene in the second half of the film.
This is adapted from a true story, and at that time it was not only Koreans who were deceived into working as miners on the island, but also a large number of Chinese.
This is the human purgatory and bloody history of Chinese and Korean workers during World War II.
The natural environment here is harsh. It was originally a deserted island and is often attacked by typhoons and tsunamis. The water of life and food are entirely dependent on external transportation and supply. Survival here is extremely difficult.
Thousands of laborers who were forced to go to the island suffered physical and mental destruction and inhumane torture. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to recruit workers.
So they asked the Japanese government to send prisoners to work on the island, but the workers, unable to bear the torture, rioted several times on the island, and finally Mitsubishi had to find another way.
If you think the prisoners more or less "deserved it", then when World War II broke out in the late 30s, another 4 Chinese were forcibly conscripted to Japan to work as laborers, of whom more than were assigned to Mitsubishi, and almost all of them went to Gunkanjima to mine.
According to survivors, 200 people were buried underground in a landslide, but Mitsubishi Corporation did not choose to rescue them. Instead, it opened another passage nearby to continue mining. For the Chinese and Korean workers, this place was like hell.
The Nagasaki Human Rights Organization in Japan compiled a book called "If You Listen to Gunkanjima", which collected the testimonies of Gunkanjima laborers. In the book, an old man named Jin Hengxi said: "In 1943, I was forcibly taken to Nagayoshi by the Japanese. People from the Mitsubishi Coal Mine pushed me onto a boat full of people going to Hashima. My number was 4416."
From 1940 to 1945, more than Chinese laborers and more than Korean laborers were tortured to death on the island. Some died from coal mine collapse, some died from malnutrition, and some died by jumping into the sea.
However, the real-life Gunkanjima introduction board only briefly describes the Korean laborers, but does not mention the Chinese laborers at all. They are trying to erase this history. But the innocent souls of Hashima and the humiliation of the nation will never be erased, and this history will be forever engraved in the hearts of every patriotic son and daughter!
So in terms of empathy, this movie is the easiest to adapt and bring to this time and space.
The theme of the movie "Battleship Island" is similar to that of Nolan's "Dunkirk" - we have to go home alive.
But it reflects the brutal, tragic and cruel scenes of war. Miners are crushed to death by mine cars or are fighting with soldiers while escaping. You can often see scenes of headshots and blood flying everywhere. Compared with "Dunkirk", it makes the audience feel more deeply the ruthlessness and cruelty of war, and the dark and selfish side of human nature.
So it’s him!
After watching President Dong and Zhao Yishen leave the Yancheng studio of Xinan Satellite TV, Xia Haoyang thought for a moment and decided to adapt the script of the film, invite popular stars to star in it, and try to film it in a one-to-one manner like the original film, aiming to restore the real Hashima Island. This film will be the company's largest investment in the second half of this year or the first half of next year.
After Xia Haoyang made up his mind, he forgot about meeting with the company's three new singers before meeting President Dong. Instead, he returned to his hotel room and started writing the script.
Poor Jin Na, Zhixiao and Yingru, after happily signing the contract with Xia Haoyang's studio, they suddenly realized that except for the call from their agent Xiao Liu, who asked the three of them to work hard and listen carefully to Mr. Xia's arrangements, nothing else happened.
Listen to Mr. Xia's arrangements? Sure. The problem is that you are here to make the arrangements, but where are the people? Where are the arrangements?
Were the three of them abandoned? Why did no one care about them after they joined a new company?
Who am I? Where am I? What the hell company am I signed with?
at the same time.
Yu Jeongyeon and Jimin stepped into the Fat Cat Studio in Fuhai Building on Daliushu Road for the first time.
