Soon after signing the contract with Beihang Airlines, the main actors of "Falcon" were all finalized.

There are many characters in "Falcon", but there are not many important roles, mainly the members of the Falcon Squad, as well as the captain of the Vietnamese army's special forces, Nguyen Hung, and the female agent Yue Mei.

The Falcon Squad is similar to the Hoes Squad, and they are basically young people in their twenties. Xu Wangqiu originally wanted to move the hoe team directly, but this idea failed to materialize, and only Zhou Lijin and Zhang Tielin joined the falcon team. It's not that they can't watch "Falcon", it's that they are filming in other crews, and they can't leave at all. As a result, many of the acting boys who missed the hoe rape squad last time became members of the Falcon squad this time.

There are two Falcon Squad students who are not Nortel students, Tang Guoqiang from Bayi Factory and Tao Zeru from Nanjing Repertory Theatre.

Tang Guoqiang is a popular student in Bayi Factory and knows Yu Ze. He returned to Bayi Factory after filming "Starry Tonight" directed by Xie Tieli, and heard that Xu Wangqiu was selecting actors for the new film, so he told Xu Wangqiu through Yu Ze that he hoped to star in "Falcon". Xu Wangqiu admired Tang Guoqiang quite a lot, and being able to contract most of the emperors and generals in China for 5,000 years by himself is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Xu Wangqiu handed over the second male lead in "Falcon" to him and asked him to play Liang Guozhu.

Jiang Yuan, a member of the Falcon Squad, is older and needs an actor who looks more mature and looks a little old-fashioned, but is very tough. Someone recommended Tao Zeru to Xu Wangqiu, and as soon as Xu Wangqiu heard Tao Zeru's name, he made a decision directly, it was him. Xu Wangqiu has seen many plays that Tao Zeru has acted, such as "One and Eight", "Evening Bell", "Black Hole", etc., and is very clear about his acting path, and knows that it is absolutely no problem for him to play Jiang Yuan.

As for the role of female agent Yuemei, Xu Wangqiu talked to Bao Qijing when she went to Xiangjiang to promote last year, and she played this role. Although Bao Qijing is not very popular in Xiangjiang, she is the master of the Great Wall. Her appearance in "Falcon" will definitely attract the attention of the Xiangjiang media and play a certain role in the promotion of the movie.

Looking for the actor of Nguyen Hung, the captain of the Vietnamese army's secret service, Xu Wangqiu made a lot of efforts. The role of Nguyen Xiong must be good at kung fu, and at the end of the movie, he will go head-to-head with Yan Shuangying, and if he is not a practicing family, he will definitely not be able to do it, and Nguyen Xiong will not be able to speak Vietnamese, and he will not be able to do it without language talent. Xu Wangqiu tried several actors but was not satisfied, and finally found Zhao Xiaorui to solve the problem.

After the actors were finalized, Xu Wangqiu threw the Falcon Squad and Zhao Xiaorui into the army for three months of military training. The members of the Falcon Squad and Nguyen Hung are both elite agents, and they must be skilled in using firearms and tactical moves in place, otherwise they will appear fake. If you don't throw it into the army and train hard for a few months, the actor will definitely not be able to play the effect Xu Wangqiu wants.

Shortly after the cast of "Falcon" was finalized, Xu Wangqiu returned to Rongcheng with Zhang Erzan.

There's a scene in Falcon where a bazooka takes down an enemy helicopter, and the helicopter explodes in the air with a miniature. But the downed helicopter fell to the ground and rolled towards the screen, so there was no way to use the miniature. You have to make a big model like a real helicopter, hit it with explosives and detonate it, so that the crane hangs and rolls towards the screen. Wait until the lens is ready, and use the mask technology to buckle the steel cable of the crane.

In other words, in order to shoot this scene well, you must make a model that is about the size of a real helicopter and exactly the same as a real helicopter. It is difficult to shoot this kind of shot at once, and the model cannot prepare only one, at least three.

To make such a large model, relying on Zhang Erzan and the workers of Beijing Film Studio must not understand. Xu Wangqiu took Zhang Erzan to Factory 132 and asked the worker master of Factory 132 to help make a model. Factory 132 specializes in building aircraft, and even fighter jets can handle it, so making model airplanes is naturally a piece of cake.

Since last year, Factory 132 has been taking the road of military-civilian integration, trying to carry out small-scale civilian product development on a local scale. Since I have no experience in making civilian products, I don't know what to do, so I just make small fights, making gas canisters, jacks and the like. Now when I heard that Xu Wangqiu asked them to make a model, and they gave money, they naturally applauded. After discussion and negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement that Factory 132 would undertake the production of all the models and main props of "Falcon" at a cost of 500,000 yuan.

In addition to making model airplanes, Xu Wangqiu also had one more thing when he returned to Rongcheng, which was to talk to Xiuying Studio about the export company. Zhang Xiaoping heard Xu Wangqiu talk about the significance of the export company, and knew that co-production with the export company could give millions more, so he readily agreed.

When Xu Wangqiu returned to Rongcheng, Xu Wangchuan happened to go to Beiping to borrow someone from the song and dance troupe, but he happened to miss it. He didn't know how Xu Wangchuan was doing, so he asked Zhang Xiaoping about Xu Wangchuan and the labor service company.

Zhang Xiaoping told Xu Wangqiu that he originally thought that Xu Wangchuan was too young and might not be able to manage so many people, but he did not expect Xu Wangchuan to clean up the two thorns as soon as he arrived at the labor service company, and formulated a strict management system to manage the company in an orderly manner.

Xu Wangqiu knew that Xu Wangchuan had the ability to do things well, and the only problem was his lack of experience. Now hearing Zhang Xiaoping say this, he is completely relieved.

When Xu Wangqiu returned to Beiping, that is, on April 3, China Film Export Corporation was officially established in Beiping.

In the future, if a large company like an export company is established, it will often be more grand, there will be guests to cheer, and there will be media reports. However, the export company is very low-key, and it really just hangs a sign at the door of the office, and nothing else.

Ordinary people don't know what the birth of the China Film Export Company means, and even the vast majority of people in the film industry don't know. Only a few directors of film studios knew that it was only a matter of time before the sturdy walls of the unified purchasing and marketing industry had been smashed open and collapsed, but there was only so much they could see, and they did not know what impact it would have on the landscape of Hong Kong films, Asian films, and even world films.

Liu Lin: They can't see that far, they don't know what it means for Chinese films, but they know what it means for them. If export companies want to conquer the international market, they must take the road of genre, and there is a lack of directors with experience in genre films in China. This means that their opportunity has come, and their time has come.

Zhang Yimou is probably the only exception among them, and he can't be happy.

Zhang Yimou applied to Nortel to stay in school to continue his studies, but his application was rejected after reporting to the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry of Culture's instructions are: "According to the information introduced by the school's Academic Affairs Office, Zhang Yimou does not need to complete four years of study, and he can graduate after two years of study." ”

Zhang Yimou felt that if he didn't let me finish four years of study, I wouldn't read it, but I should also give me a certificate, college, unemployed, anything. He never dreamed that the school would be so desperate, and he would say to him, you are not officially admitted, and you can't give a diploma.

Xu Wangqiu came back from Rongcheng, and Zhang Yimou told him about the matter. Xu Wangqiu comforted Zhang Yimou, if you don't read it, you won't read it, I will go to Hu Jian tomorrow and ask him to arrange your import and export company, and then you will shoot "Falcon" with me. When Zhang Yimou heard this, he was a lot more relieved, and dragged Xu Wangqiu and the others in the bedroom to the city to drink.

Zhang Yimou is the oldest of Nortel's students, he is very stable, and he never gets drunk when he drinks, but this time he quickly drank too much. He held the wine glass, shed tears, slapped the table, and shouted angrily: "I don't want to stay anymore, I want to step into Nortel in the future, I am raised by my grandson!"

Xu Wangqiu didn't speak, but there was a flash of fire in his eyes, his hands were clenched into fists tightly, and his nails were digging deep into his flesh. He knew that he was dragging Zhang Yimou down, and Zhang Yimou could have completed four years of study and was able to get his graduation certificate smoothly. However, while being angry, he was more worried that Liu Lin would follow in the footsteps of Zhang Yimou, and because of himself, he would be unlucky one by one.

After carrying the drunk Zhang Yimou back to the bedroom, Xu Wangqiu lay on the bed and thought about this problem. How can I help Zhang Yimou get justice, and how can I make Liu Lin and them not be implicated because of themselves. Xu Wangqiu lay in bed and thought about it all night, and he didn't make up his mind until dawn.

When he went to work at school, Xu Wangqiu went to the teaching building to find Zhou Ming. Xu Wangqiu said indignantly: "Uncle Zhou, Zhang Yimou has worked hard in school for two years, and his performance has been very good, and he didn't even give a certificate, which is too much." ”

Zhou Ming didn't know that the school was excessive, but he didn't have anything to do. In the past, Wang Lanxi was the leader of the school's leading group, no matter how powerful Hu Qingming was, his hand couldn't reach Nortel, but now Hu Qingming is in charge of the colleges directly under the Ministry of Culture, and Tang Ziqing is his person, who dares to offend him in the school now, sighed and said: "Wangqiu, you can't control this matter, you better take care of yourself!" Just yesterday, Hu Qingming named our school at a meeting of colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Culture, saying that our school is propagating the sound of the bourgeoisie, spreading the decadent bourgeois culture, and has a tendency towards bourgeois liberalization, and that our school should be properly rectified. I am afraid that our school will soon engage in activities of criticism and bourgeois liberalization, and you will definitely be criticized when the time comes, and you must be mentally prepared. ”

After the Spring Festival, under the impetus of Hu Qingming, the concert in the new era was criticized like never before. In addition to Guo Lanying, the other actors of the concert, including the host, were criticized. Zheng Xulan just sang normally with her hands hanging down on her sides during the performance, and criticized her for her cowardly movements, and Zhu Mingying's movement of twisting her waist and hips was even more criticized, saying how could she do things about twisting her buttocks.

As a concert planner, Xu Wangqiu has been attacked like never before. Some people say that his "A Cut of Plums" and "The Fifteenth Moon" are representatives of the sound of glamour, and they are yellow music. Some people say that the concert in the new era is a poison wrapped in sugar, and the sound of a good song is to let people absorb its toxicity in a sweet pleasure. Some people even linked the concert with "Bitter Love", saying that it was a rampant attack on socialism and a typical expression of bourgeois liberalization ideas.

Xu Wangqiu did not take the criticism of these newspapers and magazines to heart, and was busy with the preparation of "Falcon", he knew that after the end of the movement, there would be criticism of literary and artistic works, and there would be criticism of literary and artistic works, but he would not engage in political criticism. Wang Lanxi specifically talked to Xu Wangqiu, and he also had this point of view. But now Xu Wangqiu finds that he and Wang Lanxi are wrong, and Hu Qingming really intends to use his power to suppress others and criticize himself politically.

Last night, Xu Wangqiu had already decided to make the matter big and make it known to everyone, so that the other party would have some scruples; now that the other party wants to engage in political criticism, then he will have even more sufficient reasons to make the matter bigger.

Xu Wangqiu sneered: "You want to organize criticism of me, let them come!"

Xu Wangqiu came out of Zhou Ming's office and looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds rolling, coming from all directions, piling up like a pile of grain, getting denser and denser, and pressing down like thousands of troops. The whole city was gray and overwhelmed by dark clouds, as if to herald a rainstorm.

Xu Wangqiu exhaled softly, walked out of Nortel with his feet up, and got on the bus into the city.
