Shortly after the establishment of Dentsu
Sun Shiyi, who was in charge of the film's creation, found Tian Han
Hope he creates a movie
Tian Han was very happy
Because at this time he was thinking
A script about the theme of anti-Japanese resistance
However, just a few days after Tian Han handed over the manuscript
But he resisted Japan because of propaganda
He was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang reactionaries
After Tian Han was arrested
The script of the film went through the Shanghai underground party
It was transferred to Xia Yan's hands
It's a big surprise
When Xia Yan seriously looked at Tian Han's movie script
Unexpectedly found inside
Sandwiched with a piece of cigarette paper full of words...
"Arise, people who do not want to be slaves
Build our flesh and blood
Our new Great Wall! ”
