The subjects of the Holocaust or "comfort women" will face moral dilemma in filming, and the artist's creation must give way to morality, and there is also this problem in publicity and distribution. If movies with such subjects are widely promoted, they will appear very commercial and give people a feeling of selling suffering. But if they are not promoted, the film will have no attention at all.

How to promote movies of this kind of theme and how to grasp the publicity level will be a test for any distribution company. This is true for "Twenty-Two" and "Angel of Justice". However, Zhang Ran assured Guo Ke and Zhang Xinyi that he would personally check to ensure that there will be no omissions in the promotion of the movie, and that it will not use low-level publicity as a gimmick.

In fact, some domestic filmmakers have a terrible moral level. In the West, movies like "Beautiful Life" will arouse doubts, because many film critics think that the Holocaust is so serious, how can they be joked? But for the sake of box office, some domestic films with such themes will be hyped in a low-level way. For example, more than ten years ago, when the movie "May and August" was promoted, the words "the first Nanjing Massacre film that exposed the rape and murder of Chinese women" were openly placed on the poster, which aroused public anger; before the release of the previous life "The Flowers of War", Zhang Weiping used bed drama to hype it up, which also caused huge criticism.

Guo Ke believes that Zhang Ran would not have such a thing when he checked the promotion of "Twenty-Two". He told Zhang Ran that this kind of subject matter, and a documentary, is very likely to lose money; if he can make a profit, he will donate it to the elderly.

Zhang Ran talked with Guo Ke and Zhang Xinyi for a long time, talking about the movie distribution strategy, the promotion of the movie, and the box office of the movie. He talked until ten o'clock in the evening when Zhang Xinyi and Guo Ke left.

After Zhang Xinyi and the others left, Zhang Jingchu said with emotion: "Zhang Xinyi looks so ugly, but she didn't expect to participate in this kind of project. It's really impressive."

Zhang Ran said proudly: "Of course, Zhang Xinyi was taught by me."

Zhang Jingchu laughed and said, "You really know how to gild your face!"

The next day, the crew continued to film the scene where Zhang Chunru interviewed Xia Shuqin. After Zhang Chunru interviewed Xia Shuqin, they went to No. 5, Dongxin Road, Zhonghuamen, where the massacre occurred. The house was still there when Zhang Chunru visited, but it has been demolished now. In order to shoot this scene, the crew built the house in Shiqiu Base as it was before.

Zhang Jingchu and the actor who played Xia Shuqin both performed very well, and the scene was completed quickly.

At night, the crew filmed a scene in which Zhang Chunru entered the interview content during the day in the studio.

At that time, for the convenience of Zhang Chunru's work, Professor Yang Xiaming's wife borrowed an air-conditioned room and a multi-standard TV in the South University Research Building. When Zhang Chunru came back from the interview, she played the testimony of the survivors filmed during the interview. Then Yang Xiaming interpreted the video content into English, and Zhang Chunru entered it into the laptop.

After the filming preparations were completed, Zhang Ran shouted the command to "start", and three cameras aimed at Zhang Jingchu and Professor Yang Xiaming in the room from different angles. In the movie "Angel of Justice", some characters are played by himself, such as Zhang Chun's parents and Professor Yang Xiaming.

In the monitor, Professor Yang Xiaming began to translate the interview with Mr. Xia Shuqin: "When I wake up, all the Japanese soldiers will leave."

Zhang Jingchu asked while typing on the keyboard of the notebook: "About 20?"

Professor Yang Xiaming said: "Yes, 20. Then, I found that my sister died under the table."

Zhang Jingchu frowned and asked, "How old is she?"

Professor Yang Xiaming said: "About 15 years old. His clothes were stripped naked and bleeding."

Zhang Jingchu asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Has you raped?"

Professor Yang Xiaming nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, there is another sister who died in the bed and there is no clothes left."

Zhang Jingchu said in a trembling voice: "How old is she?"

Professor Yang Xiaming said: "About 14 years old, both of them are dead."

When Zhang Jingchu heard this, she finally couldn't control her emotions and stood up, walked quickly to the window, trying to breathe a sigh of relief. According to the plot requirements, Zhang Chunru stayed at the window for a while, and then she would talk about the issue of learning law. However, Zhang Jingchu couldn't control her emotions. After running to the window, she grabbed the windowsill with both hands and couldn't help crying, and then squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Zhang Ran quickly shouted "Stop", walked out of the command center, and came to the shooting scene. He hugged Zhang Jingchu, patted her back gently, and kept comforting: "It's okay! It's okay! I'm by your side! Don't be sad!"

Zhang Jingchu leaned in Zhang Ran's arms and hugged Zhang Ran's waist. She cried so hard that she was so angry that Zhang Ran's chest was wet. The staff on the set, especially the female staff, were "contagious" by Zhang Jingchu's crying, and they wiped their tears one after another.

After Zhang Jingchu finished crying, Zhang Ran said gently: "Or why not forget it today, let's take photos tomorrow!"

Zhang Ran knew that filming such a scene was very painful for the actors. In the past two days, Zhang Jingchu couldn't control her emotions and often cried as she filmed. In fact, today's scene was pretty good. Two days ago, Zhang Chunru went to the Massacre Gorge, Yanziji and other places to investigate the massacres, which was the real torture.

When Zhang Chunru investigates, he will take pictures of these places, then stand there, close his eyes, and immerse himself in the situation when the incident happened. This is a characteristic of Zhang Chunru when he was creating, which is to try to get himself back to the past and back to the situation when the incident happened.

Zhang Ran knew that it was very painful to immerse herself in that situation, so he said to Zhang Jingchu, just close your eyes and stand there, and you don’t have to really immerse yourself in the situation. But Zhang Jingchu insisted on immersing himself in the situation when the massacre occurred, and she believed that this would be closer to Zhang Chunru’s true state.

While acting in this part of the play, Zhang Jingchu had to stop filming several times because of crying. After acting in this part of the play, Zhang Jingchu was almost collapsed, had nightmares at night, and began to lose hair. Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Jingchu's psychological state was affected, but the movie was finished in more than ten days and the filming was not stopped. He just asked the psychologist to provide psychological counseling to Zhang Jingchu every day.

Zhang Jingchu wiped the tears on her face, smiled at Zhang Ran, and cheered up and said: "I'm fine, I feel much more comfortable when I cry. Let's continue shooting!"

Seeing Zhang Jingchu say this, Zhang Ran asked the makeup artist to come over to make up Zhang Jingchu and prepare to take a shot again.

More than ten minutes later, the shooting began. Zhang Jingchu got up and ran to the window, staring at the dark sky outside and gasped, and her body shivered slightly. Yang Xiaming sighed slightly, his eyes full of sadness.

After her breathing calmed down, Zhang Jingchu returned to her seat. She looked at Yang Xiaming and said solemnly: "When this book is finished and published, I will no longer be a writer. I will study the law and will sue the Japanese government on behalf of the survivors in the future and ask the Japanese side to compensate."

Yang Xiaming said in surprise: "Why do you think so?"

Zhang Jingchu's eyes were complicated, and there was anger mixed in sorrow: "It's so unfair. When the Japanese soldiers involved in the Nanjing Massacre received all pensions and other allowances from the Japanese government, thousands of victims silently endured poverty, shame, and long physical and mental pain. The Japanese government was so rich that as long as they paid a little, the lives of the victims could be greatly improved. Someone should come forward to do this."

Yang Xiaming was very moved when he heard this, and even felt a little ashamed. He had never thought about doing these things, but Zhang Chunru was thinking, but he still reminded: "The Japanese government has not officially apologized for the Nanjing Massacre yet, and it is very difficult to compensate them!"

Zhang Jingchu nodded and said firmly: "It is obviously inappropriate to fight a lawsuit for compensation and find Japanese people to be lawyers. Since the Chinese government has long promoted the abandonment of compensation, mainland lawyers' doors in this regard have been closed, and it is difficult to make any difference. Westerners will not sue these survivors wholeheartedly, because the West and Japan have an indescribable relationship entanglement, so it is necessary to stand up by descendants of Chinese in the West like me, running and shouting for these survivors."

In the monitor of the A-machine, close-up of Zhang Jingchu, her eyes shining, revealing her unyielding determination and unprecedented perseverance.

Zhang Ran had never seen Zhang Chunru himself, and he didn't know the look she looked when she said this. But if he wanted to choose one, he believed it was Zhang Jingchu's look at this time. Zhang Ran stood up and shouted: "Stop! Jingchu, you acted very well. Your condition and eyes are very outstanding, so let's protect one!"

Nanjing in July is like a big steamer, stuffy and hot. In the summer in the north, it will cool down if the wind blows, but the heat in Nanjing is wrapped by the water vapor evaporated from the ground. It will feel sticky and sticky in your body for a few minutes, which makes you feel particularly uncomfortable.

July 12th is the last day of filming of "Angel of Justice", and the scene on this day is an outdoor drama. The entire crew can only work in the sun in the scorching sun. However, no one in the crew complained and was extremely devoted to the work.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ran, who was sitting in front of the monitor, breathed a sigh of relief. The movie had been filmed for nearly seven months, and now it was finally finished. Zhang Ran stood up, held the walkie-talkie, and announced excitedly: "The last shot of the movie has passed. The movie "Angel of Justice" was officially completed!"

The applause and cheers were heard on the scene, and many staff members began to hug and say goodbye to the people around them. The staff of "Angel of Justice" came from 54 countries and regions around the world. In nearly seven months of filming, everyone became friends. Now they are about to part, and they feel a lot of reluctance in their hearts.

Zhang Ran came out of the command center, took the speaker prepared by the first deputy director for him, stood on a chair, and shouted: "After nearly 7 months of hard shooting, our movie was finally completed successfully! Without your efforts, the movie could not have been completed so smoothly, so I really want to say thank you to everyone."

The crackling applause was like firecrackers, and the deafening cheers rushed to the sky.

Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "This drama has been filmed for nearly seven months. I feel that every day is like practicing. Every department works together to do its best. I have also formed a deep relationship with everyone in hard work. I am very impressed by the filming of the movie. Every scene is extremely valuable to me. However, there is no banquet that will last forever. I hope to continue to cooperate in the future, and I hope that our movie will be successful. I will say so much, thank you everyone!"

"The Angel of Justice" has been officially completed, but Zhang Ran knows that the real battle has just begun.

In 1997, News Weekly planned to publish a long excerpt from Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre", but Toyota and other Japanese companies tried to prevent the publication of "News Weekly" by threatening to cancel the advertisements. After Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre" was officially published, all kinds of monsters and monsters jumped out and attacked Zhang Chunru. When "Angel of Justice" was released, these monsters and monsters will definitely jump out.
