"Yes, it's a little unpleasant, but it's also a very important thing, and it's a task. ”

Lin Qirong nodded and said.

The so-called "Olympic bid" is to apply for the Oscars and participate in the selection of the world's most famous film awards ceremony.

"Kung Fu Panda", as an animated film produced by Huaxia, is also one of the largest films at the global box office, but if you want to participate in the Oscar selection, you must apply.

This is a thing that makes Lin Qirong very unhappy, but the rules are like this, and with the hope of Xu Anshun and other relevant departments, he has to let Xiao Yunfang and others do this.

"When will we not have to do such a thing?" he sighed deeply.

Compared with TV dramas and music, in the field of movies, there is no doubt that the United States is the world's leader, and the Oscars are the most watched and top awards ceremony in the world.

Although "Kung Fu Panda" can only be applied for as the best foreign language film, as well as compete for some technical awards, and it is impossible to compete for other major awards, if it can win the award, it is already a very important recognition for Chinese films.

Therefore, as the film with the best performance in China in recent years and the strongest Chinese elements, "Kung Fu Panda" had to bid for the Olympics.

Han Ying understood his thoughts very well and comforted, "This is the reality, we have no way to change it, we can only find a way to join it, and then slowly change it, right?"

At least that's a good result. ”

Lin Qirong nodded.

Only when Huaxia films are really recognized by the world, and when the Fengtai Awards become one of the top award ceremonies in the hearts of global filmmakers, can Huaxia films get rid of such embarrassment.

And they're just getting started.

This matter has been done by many Chinese filmmakers before, and now Lin Qirong and Tonghua Entertainment just continue to do it.

They still have a long way to go.

······

In Africa, the sun is still shining in October.

As soon as Lin Qirong got off the plane, he was warmly welcomed: the oncoming wind and sand were enough to suffocate.

"It's our daily routine. "He Yijun and Li Guangsheng, who came here in advance to prepare, have darkened a lot, and they are obviously used to the weather here.

Lin Qirong smiled as he walked forward, "The second movie came so far away, don't you have any opinions?"

"Everybody's excited. Li Guangsheng said with a smile, "You don't know, Yijun is like playing chicken blood every day, and he is probably more excited than being with Jiayin." ”

"Hasn't Jiayin always been by his side?" Lin Qirong said in surprise.

"Metaphorically. ”

"Haha. ”

Lin Qirong naturally understands the reason why everyone is excited, compared with the first comedy, the second movie is a veritable war blockbuster, which is the dream of many filmmakers?

"Let's go to the hotel first. "I want to meet those heroes, and I think they deserve the respect of any of us." ”

He Yijun and Li Guangsheng nodded silently, and followed him to a hotel in the city, where they met a group of people waiting there.

The straight sitting posture, the bright eyes, and the fierce aura exuding from the whole body all show that this is a group of soldiers with very strong combat effectiveness, stronger than Zhao Lifei and others who are in charge of their own safety, only this time Ji Xinran, who is also by his side because Zuo Youran is not at ease, can be compared.

These are the backbone of China.

"Hello, I'm Lin Qirong, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Lin Qirong took the initiative to say hello to them.

"Hello. Several people stood up, and the leader gave a military salute to Lin Qirong, "I am Yan Junda, the captain of this commando, and I was ordered to come to assist Director Lin, please do not hesitate to tell me if there is anything." ”

"Hello. Lin Qirong shook hands with him respectfully, and everyone sat down together.

"This time, my superiors and I applied to transfer you here, just to get to know you in a real way, so that our actors can learn your spirit from you, and at the same time further improve our script based on your deeds.

Although film is art, we all agree that it should be an artistic process based on facts.

We have a very special situation in China, and we may be 18,000 miles away from our actual situation. ”

Yan Junda sat upright and nodded solemnly, "Yes, our Huaxia is very different from the United States, which has garrisons all over the world, and has always done whatever it wants.

This is not the case with us, we must be cautious in everything we want to do overseas, we must respect the opinions of the local government, and pay attention to win-win cooperation.

This also determines that when we take some actions, we are completely different from the Mi army, we don't get so much support, and the equipment is far behind. ”

"But you still completed the task again and again, didn't you?" Lin Qirong said with a smile, "We in Huaxia have followed a philosophy since ancient times: equipment is very important, but the person who uses it is more important.

Being able to complete various tasks under limited conditions and protect the safety of overseas Chinese people, you are more proud than those American armies. ”

Yan Junda nodded gratefully with him, "Thank you for your recognition, we think so and do so." ”

Lin Qirong smiled happily, "It seems that our next cooperation will be very pleasant." ”

"I think so too. ”

In order to shoot this war blockbuster, Lin Qirong applied for a lot of help from Wen Zixiong, the most important of which was the help of this mysterious special squad.

Although the number of this team is small, the record is very brilliant, although it has not been announced, but it has done very well in every operation.

The plot of this movie shot by Lin Qirong and them was born out of one of their actions.

He Yijun had already had in-depth communication with them before, and made a lot of changes to the green book according to their deeds, and the experience was more thrilling and the scene was more grand.

The Navy specially transferred this team with rich operational experience to assist them in filming this movie, which shows that they attach great importance to this movie.

The film is co-produced by Tonghua Entertainment and Haizheng Television Art Center.

The relevant departments have placed great hopes on this, not only providing many advanced active ships, guns and other equipment, so that the crew can shoot the most realistic war scenes.

also sent this professional special team to guide the crew to carry out filming on the spot, and at the same time conduct special training for the actors of the crew.

But it's all about making this movie good, and no one has any complaints.

In addition, the relevant departments came forward, and the local government also provided great help, and even locked down the city to help the crew shoot when needed.

It is precisely because of these help that Lin Qirong has the confidence to shoot this movie.

······

This time I came to Africa to film, the entire crew of more than 300 people, the lineup is very large, and the weather here is dry and rainy, and there are mountains and deserts everywhere, so logistics have become a big problem.

After a few years of training, Ni Jiayin is no longer a novice with no experience, and has thought of many ways to solve this problem.

In addition to transporting a large number of materials from China, Ni Jiayin came to this place in advance with his logistics team, rented a site to set up a vegetable greenhouse, and planted a lot of vegetables and other spices.

After visiting the greenhouses and storage warehouses full of fresh vegetables, Lin Qirong looked at Ni Jiayin, who had tanned a lot, and was full of praise.

"With your work, the combat effectiveness of the crew has more than doubled.

It's that you've tanned a lot, Yijun should be distressed, right?"

In front of Lin Qirong, Ni Jiayin was still heroic and smiling, "I admit that I used to do these things for Yijun, and I still do this."

But slowly I've come to love the job and see people doing their jobs better because of what we do. ”

Lin Qirong had to give her a thumbs up.

This left-minded friend has unconsciously become an excellent employee of Tonghua Entertainment.

He Yijun on the side smiled indifferently, his eyes full of pride.

The huge technicians were the workhorses of the crew, and they needed to shoot in a hot desert area, which was a huge challenge.

The use and maintenance of photographic equipment is a key part of this.

To this end, the company mobilized many technicians from Hollywood to form a strong technical team, and it was important to ensure the normal progress of the filming.

Another key point is the weapons and equipment, these are real guys, and they are managed by special teams sent by special teams, and they will be maintained every day to ensure safety and foolproof.

The demolition team is also a key part, and there are many scenes where real shells and explosives need to be used, and how to ensure safety is a very important thing.

In addition to the fixed script practice, the actors spend most of their time in special training, familiarize themselves with various military terms, practice various military actions, and a gun action may have to be practiced for a day.

Fortunately, most of these actors have military backgrounds, either as soldiers or from the army art troupe, and they all have some military background, otherwise it will not be enough for a few months to meet the requirements.

After Lin Qirong arrived, he and his team were busy dealing with various things every day, implementing and confirming each link one by one, so as to ensure the connection and safety of each link.

He also took the time to visit the local embassy and local government to communicate with them about the filming.

He also donated a hospital and a school to the local area on behalf of Tonghua Group to thank the local government for its support.

In such a busy time, the crew slowly took shape, and all links were gradually in place.

Half a month later, everything was ready, and the crew officially started filming.

Lin Qirong picked up the guide tube and gave the command to start shooting loudly.

Filming officially began.
