Chapter 302: Recruitment Propaganda Video
Qiao Feng originally planned to invite Wang Xianxian to dinner, but seeing that Wang Xianxian was tired like that, he couldn't straighten his waist because of the backache in Hangweiya, so he dispelled his thoughts.
It was past twelve o'clock when he returned to the apartment where Wang Xuxian lived, and it was more than twelve o'clock, and when he arrived at the place, Qiao Feng didn't send it again, and left after handing over the food he bought on the road to the little assistant.
In the next few days, Qiao Feng went to the set of A Chinese Ghost Story almost every day, and every day he had to accompany the filming until late at night and then send Wang Xuxian home.
The time entered late July, and Qiao Feng finally didn't have so much free time to run to the Chinese Ghost Story crew.
First of all, the last emperor finally made a comprehensive painting in North America, the box office was good, the box office of more than 40 million US dollars at least paid back and made a small profit, and the rest of the releases in other places earned pure profits.
Then there is the production of Top Gun, which has been in production for more than half a year, and finally released.
Top Gun tells the story of a U.S. Air Force pilot.
Medellin {played by Tom Cruise} is a U.S. Navy lieutenant codenamed "The Lone Ranger". His father was a veteran pilot with great military achievements and an unshakable idol in his heart. At one time, he was sent to the Fighter Weapons School {toPgun} for the most rigorous training along with fellow Navy Officer Gus.
In their first training sessions, instructors encouraged them to be the most elite pilots in the United States. However, Medellin's training did not go well, he was always a maverick in the air and did not cooperate with others, and the instructors were always dissatisfied with his results, especially Snyder, who was codenamed "Iceman" in the fourth team.
In a teaching class, his deliberate misery embarrassed the female instructor Charlie (played by Kelly McGillis), and there was a disagreement and estrangement between the two. Medellín falls in love with the beautiful and enthusiastic Charlie, and gradually, Charlie also falls in love with this student with a personality and invites him to her home as a guest, much to the heart of Medellín, who is trapped in training all day.
However, Medellín's flight training was always mediocre and not recognized by his superiors, and he was depressed all day long. During a training session before graduation, Medellín and his partner, codenamed "Stupid Goose", flew the same plane again, during which Medellín and Gus were forced to parachute because the plane stalled and entered a tailspin and was about to crash into the sea, but Gus was unfortunately killed because of the collision.
This made Medellín, who was already unhappy all day long, even more miserable, and he was depressed and decided to abandon his ideals and become an elite pilot. Instructor Maika, who was a comrade-in-arms with his father, encouraged Medellín to persevere, no matter what the circumstances, that good pilots would not be intimidated and once again taught him not to be discouraged by his father's deeds. Charlie also comes to encourage him to be ambitious and strive to become a good pilot, but Medellin's inability to cheer up makes Charlie leave sadly.
Charlie's departure pierced Medellín's heart, and then under the persuasion of the instructor, she gave up this idea and finally rose up in the final assessment, piloted the Silver Eagle, crossed the blue sky, and finally became a good pilot. After Medellín finally defeated the enemy planes and became an instructor at the elite training base, Charlie and Medellín got back together.
The handsome Tom is wearing a propaganda poster in an Air Force uniform, that's really handsome, don't want it.
In particular, this Top Gun was shot by the United States as a recruitment propaganda film, so the Pentagon of the United States contributed more than the distributor Paramount when the film was promoted before the release.
The U.S. side had to work hard to help with publicity, because this film started with Qiao Feng and asked Shi Nansheng and Anne Hurd to find the Pentagon with the script, hoping to get the U.S. side to assist in filming, and the Pentagon felt that the script was very beneficial to the military's image propaganda, and decided to fully assist after the film was basically the U.S. side's business.
Qiao Feng has never managed anything other than publishing scripts and funds, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't manage it, because he is a Hong Kong native, and the American side doesn't let him ask too much at all, and many of the advanced weapons in it are kept secret and are not allowed to be touched by anyone other than Americans.
So the whole crew actually participated in the filming, and no one from Hong Kong participated.
In order to shoot the desired picture, the U.S. Navy provided five squadrons of active F-14 fighters and 8 active pilots from VF-1 "Wolf Pack" Squadron, VF-51 "Falcon" Squadron, VF-111 "Sunset" Squadron, VF-114 "Aardvark" Squadron, and VF-213 "Black Lion" Squadron to participate in the filming of the film, as well as A-4 attack aircraft and F-5 fighters as F-14 opponents {mig-28 in the film} The pilots are from Mirama Air Station and toPgun School, where the pilots are flight instructors. The aircraft carriers "Raider", "Enterprise" and "Carl Vinson" also appeared in the film.
Not only that, but during the filming of the film, an F-14 fighter and a pilot were also lost, and pilot Art Skoll was unable to pull out in time when filming the F-14 entering the horizontal spiral, resulting in a crash and death. In later reshoots, the model had to be used instead.
With such a big effort, such a big price, and huge expectations, it is no wonder that the United States cares more about the promotion of this movie than Paramount.
Because if the box office is not good, then the military's various investments will not get the expected returns, and the desired publicity will not get the desired effect.
The bamboo basket is empty, and the United States does not want to see it.
Speaking of which, after watching the whole film, I didn't see anything serious except for picking up girls and playing handsome, which should be placed in China, and it is strange that the dog who is not scolded is bloody, but in the United States, Yankees like to watch such a light-hearted movie, so they eat this set.
Later, Michael Bay was able to have a bloody love triangle in the war-torn Pearl Harbor, and Top Gun was just normal flight training, not in wartime, so what is unacceptable about talking about love.
Anyway, the Yankees are not under any pressure to accept it.
Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that this is the first air combat film to be so well-made.
Although it is really handsome, you can see the pilots driving the fighter F-14 and the relatively old A4 and F5 in the blue sky and white clouds, those silver fighters chase each other, form each other, sometimes roar overhead, sometimes float smoothly in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, accompanied by lofty mountains and rivers and magnificent morning light, Sunset, all kinds of scenes are very good, such shots occupy more than an hour in the nearly two-hour movie, coupled with the tense and sometimes playful dialogue of the pilots in the cabin, so that the audience has a sense of immersion, so that ordinary viewers who are difficult to contact on a daily basis, or who have never known about the life and training of pilots, can understand and relieve their full curiosity.
So when Top Gun was released, it not only attracted many weapons fans, but also for the general audience, it was also very tempting.
