His hero, my enemy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the previous life, there were many fans who watched the application of the Mi Army in Hollywood war blockbusters, even if they were attracted by the wonderful shots, but deep down they were very unhappy.

Among them, the controversy about the film "Black Hawk Down" is also relatively important in the fan group.

There's one thing, though.

It's a classic of movies, no doubt about it.

While searching for information about Somalia on the Internet, Yang Ming recalled in his mind the background of the film in his previous life.

The background information of the original version of the previous life is really complicated enough, to put it simply, it is the military operation carried out by the United States in the African country Somalia in 1993. The purpose of the military operation was to assist the United Nations in providing humanitarian assistance while eliminating local warlords and rebels. One of the most important missions was due to inadequate preparation and intelligence errors, which led to the chaotic arrest operation, two UH60 "Black Hawk" helicopters of the 160th Special Aviation Regiment of the Mi Army were shot down and crashed one after another, and the surviving members were surrounded by the militia, and the arrest operation immediately turned into a rescue operation.

Of course, this is the detailed real-life background information that Yang Ming recalled from the movie.

As for the specific situation of the Chinese and Mi Army's Somali military operations from beginning to end in his previous life, Yang Ming did not know, even if it was news in the media, he did not pay much attention to it.

After all, it's none of his business.

But even the general information in the movie is enough for Yang Ming to have enough confidence to apply it to the army of today's China.

Today's China is undoubtedly powerful, and so is the strength of the military, which can be reflected through military bases all over the world.

In other words, the Chinese military in the present world has almost replaced the role of the Mi army in the previous life.

It's just that compared with the domineering of the Mi army, although the Huaxia military has a similar situation, it is much more low-key.

Especially here in Africa.

Today's Africa is more chaotic than in previous times, with constant wars and competing for resources, and there are obviously Western countries behind this.

In Africa, the Chinese military mainly focuses on peacekeeping and humanitarian relief.

Yang Ming searched the information on the actual situation in Somalia in the present world in detail on the Internet, and then referred to the background of Somalia in the movie in his previous life to see if it could be applied.

Although there are differences, there are still no differences in general.

Warlords are divided, the country is torn apart, civil wars are continuous, and pirates are endless.

In the era of warlordism, humanitarianism in Somalia was difficult to implement. Every household has a gun. In Somalia you can live without a cell phone, without a TV, but you can't live without a gun. And shooting and killing people in the street happens from time to time, and even when you are sleeping, you can hear the gunshots outside.

Yang Ming found that just last year, the United Nations decided to send peacekeeping troops to Somalia, in which Chinese soldiers served as the main force, mainly to supervise the ceasefire of various tribes and provide limited humanitarian services to Somali residents. Due to the growing power of the warlords. The humanitarian supplies received by the inhabitants were taken by the warlords.

Seeing this information on the computer screen, he couldn't help but think of the beginning of the movie "Black Hawk Down", in which a warlord was filmed stealing supplies provided by the United Nations.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

With the destruction of the Huaxia military's Dragon Eagle helicopter, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers, although the besieged personnel have now been successfully rescued and returned to the military base, the storm of media public opinion shows no signs of stopping.

However, as more and more information is unearthed by domestic and foreign media, there are more and more questions and criticisms against the Chinese military.

The pressure on the military is like the top of Mount Tai.

If they can't come up with a good solution this time, it is estimated that they will definitely run into great trouble when Congress approves military spending next year.

Yang Ming couldn't help frowning when he saw the news analysis of this incident by several media outlets on the Internet.

If he really was born and raised in this world, then he might yearn for so-called peace like everyone else, and think that it is a waste of taxpayers' money to maintain such a large military expenditure in China.

But with the memories of his past life, he is destined not to have such a view.

Even, he wished that the Huaxia military would be a little stronger and more domineering than now, so as to meet his inner expectations.

Although the Chinese military has not disclosed the details of the military operation, through the excavation and investigation of various media at home and abroad, the entire process of the military operation has probably been restored.

He looked at the materials carefully.

It should be that the Huaxia military got reliable information that a certain warlord's mind was going to hold a meeting in a hotel, so the Huaxia military immediately organized an arrest plan. Eight Dragon Eagle helicopters were first prepared to drop the troops next to the hotel, then the armored troops drove into the local city, and finally the captors and prisoners retreated in trucks. In order to avoid intensifying the conflict with the local population, the US military could not open fire on its own initiative at the beginning of the operation.

The plan was perfect, but the action was a fiasco.

After reading this, Yang Ming pushed away the keyboard and looked away from the computer screen, it was enough to have these materials.

It is completely possible to transplant the "Black Hawk Down" from the previous life to the present life.

Now he's mostly thinking about how to change and reshape the film's core theme.

Demeaning the military through anti-war is obviously not within Yang Ming's thinking.

He's an imperialist.

But how should the plot be set up, which can not only highlight the righteous and glorious image of the Chinese military, but also not make the Western people feel disgusted.

After all, if you want to gain greater influence, then this "Dragon Eagle Falling" will definitely be released worldwide, how to shoot it so that Western fans will not be disgusted by the domineering style of the United States at that time like in their previous lives.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but ponder, this needs to test his real directing skills.

The purpose of war movies, are most war movies anti-war?

This argument is strange because of the propaganda needs of the state apparatus, war films need to serve some of the propaganda policies of the state, and the appearance of anti-war films will make the ongoing war difficult and make it impossible for the war to be waged to start smoothly.

Therefore, the films that appeared at the same time as the war generally did not involve anti-war, and after the war, those films that reflected on the war appeared!

Yang Ming doesn't think so in his heart, there were so many Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, and there were many movies about the war of the Mi Army, but how many of them were really anti-war?

Very few, simply a few.

It is more about promoting the image of the righteous and glorious Mi Army, people are liberating you, not aggression, they are waging wars outside their homeland, and they are more like the PLA than the PLA.

In the words of Hollywood blockbusters, the Mi Army is here to liberate all mankind.

In fact, there are many benefits brought by the war, and every weak and self-motivated nation is not willing to be oppressed by a strong nation, and will naturally resist, and when its strength prevails, it wants to turn over and become the master, and if it can fight, it must pursue it to the end, completely suppress the other party, and if it can't fight, it will make compromises and try to make a comeback. In order to continue to be strong, powerful countries and nations must expand their living space and obtain resources for development, and they must also wage war according to their own goals. So, should such a war be reflected, or should it be viewed rationally?

The more Yang Ming thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was too difficult to put on a suitable halo for "Dragon Eagle Fall".

If you just highlight the heroic and fearless side of the Chinese soldiers, this is very simple.

But if you can subtly accept Yang Ming's private goods in the film without disgust from Western and American fans, it is the most exquisite shooting level of Yang Ming.

It's a bit hard.

He couldn't help but think of the classification of war films in the film industry in his previous life.

There are four main types.

The first is a propaganda and agitation main war film: through the depiction of the heroic behavior of its own soldiers and the crimes of the enemy invaders, it stimulates the audience's patriotic feelings and patriotic actions.

In the past, most of the films in the Chinese film industry were of this kind, and there was almost only this kind of film.

After all, in that history, it was almost always others who invaded us, not us who bullied others.

The second type is an anti-war war film that promotes "war is hell": it depicts the bloody horror of war, anti-humanity and irrationality, and emphasizes that there are no winners in war conflicts.

The third type is escapist war films: essentially war as a natural context for heroic adventure stories.

Fourth, comedy war films: satirical and ridiculous war films that ridicule war as a ridiculous, absurd and absurd existence, becoming war satire and black humor war films.

But Yang Ming felt that none of these four categories had the war movies he wanted.

The complexity of war makes war films full of many dualistic topics: civilization and barbarism, democratic government and centralized rule, honor and cruelty, responsibility and personal interests, cooperation spirit and individual heroism, sacrificing oneself and personal pain for others, etc., but the most important of these is still the core "dual" topic of war films: war and peace, and with this as the boundary, war films are divided into two major types: war films and anti-war films.

None of this is what Yang Ming wants.

Preach war?

Preach the spirit of war?

Or is it a war that preaches "justice"?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming's fingers slammed on the table.

Maybe that's what he wants.

As in "Black Hawk Down", there is a line of a soldier of the Mi Army that says: "I respect them." These people have no jobs, no food, no education, and no future, and I just feel like we have two options, help them or watch them kill each other. I'm here to improve the world. ”

As a soldier of the United States, he hopes to change the world, and the United States, the sanctimonious "world policeman", also has a reasonable reason for existence.

This can't help but make Yang Ming think of the values of the soldiers of the United States in most Hollywood war films.

The so-called just war is for help and salvation.

They wage war for the sake of justice.

This gives Hollywood an innate legitimate reason to make these war films, they preach justice, they preach brilliance, not ugliness.

Yang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a clue in his mind about how to shoot the current version of "Dragon Eagle Falling".

Focusing on portraying the ruthlessness, brutality, and arrogance of the warlords, then the justice of the Chinese military can be highlighted.

However, if there is a Hollywood war movie that can best promote the "just" war, it should be "Bomb Disposal Unit".

As long as you watch this movie, everyone can't help but have a delusion.

That is, the war launched by the Mi army in Iraq is incomparably sacred and glorious, and if you can reflect on the war to this extent, Hollywood's methods are also okay.

The film is not so much a reflection on the Iraq War as it is a celebration of the Iraq War.

The complete reproduction of the bomb disposal process in the film, the realistic restoration of details, and the fear of death are very shocking to us, at least we know that there is such a high-risk military profession in this world. For this profession, there is no doubt about "justice", if you find a bomb, you can detonate it very irresponsibly, and the property of an unlucky Iraqi ghost is bombed, it is deserved, anyway, it was put by your own people. However, the soldiers of the Mi Army are stupidly going to dismantle them one by one, while the Iraqis seem to have nothing to do with themselves? Through this movie, the Iraq War can be elevated to a "just" war of a humanitarian nature.

Especially when the protagonist can't adapt to life after returning home, he takes the initiative to put on a bomb disposal suit again and smiles in satisfaction. Exchanging one's own life for someone else's happy life, such a "war" is really an incorrigible "drug".

This director simply filmed the characteristics of war movies to promote justice.

Yang Ming feels that this movie can be used as a good reference.

In short, he has one purpose.

Just like Hollywood in the previous life, the pursuit of values such as freedom, justice, peace, and humanity, as well as the central ideas of Chinese culture, should be embedded in the symbolic structure of the images, and hidden in the form of cultural industrial products, not only marketing to the whole world for profit, but also successfully obtaining the right to define the history of this war.

As long as he can succeed, then this movie will definitely become a benchmark for war-themed films in the Chinese film industry.

Then the pressure on the military will also be reduced.

The most important thing is that Yang Ming feels that the film industry in this world is making war-themed films, and it seems that he is too conservative in shaping the image of the Chinese Xia military in the movie.

Of course, this is also related to our deep-rooted Chinese idea of moderation.

Always shy in every way.

According to the style of Hollywood in the previous life, there is only one standard, that is, the Mi Army will always be sacred and glorious, will always be invincible, and will always represent justice and peace!

Yang Ming suddenly felt that there were too many things that needed to be changed in the film industry in today's China.

Huaxia has indeed become stronger, but in terms of entertainment culture, there are too many differences.

What is justice, the nation is justice!

After a long time, he picked up his mobile phone and called Lieutenant Colonel Liang Tianxiao: "I have a general idea in my heart, to make a movie about the incident that happened to the military in Somalia this time, although the script is not yet there, I have written some ideas, and I will send you an email later, if the above agrees, I hope to be able to interview those soldiers in person at that time." ”

"Eh!" Hearing Yang Ming's words, Liang Tianxiao was stunned for a moment and didn't react, but soon he realized something and immediately said, "Okay, I'll read the email later!"

After the two didn't say a few words, the call ended.

Liang Tianxiao immediately went online to log in to his mailbox and saw the email sent by Yang Ming.

At this time, Section Chief Lu, who had never left, also stretched out his head to look at it together.

The email sent by Yang Ming was not a script, but some ideas.

But just this short shooting idea made Liang Tianxiao and Section Chief Lu look at the eyebrows.

"God! This Yang Ming is really a genius, he can think of this!" said Section Chief Lu with a slap on the thigh.

"Preach justice!" After Liang Tianxiao muttered, his whole spirit was shocked, and then he immediately stood up and walked out of the door: "I'll report it immediately, wait for you to eat by yourself." ”
