Chapter 864: Initiative (1/3)

The biggest characteristic of the Chinese nation is moderation.

The golden mean refers to an impartial, compromised and harmonious attitude towards the world.

This attitude is regarded as the way to success by countless Chinese people.

It is even regarded by many as the highest moral code and natural law.

The Huaxia military is no exception in this regard, Yang Ming found that this life is a little better than the previous life, after all, this world Huaxia is strong and there are still some military bases abroad, and from time to time you can also show off your advanced military equipment and show your muscles.

In the previous life, the Chinese military wished that the whole world would not pay attention to themselves, and if it was not for the fact that they participated in various military exhibitions in order to promote their own weapons later, or the Chinese people themselves did not know how advanced their own weapons were.

It can be seen that it is very difficult for Yang Ming to get the Ministry of Defense and the military to support the Hollywood film industry like the military of the United States.

The filming of "Transformers" requires the cooperation of the Chinese military in the Middle East military base, and a lot of manpower and material resources are used.

Liang Tianxiao has been listening to Yang Ming's analysis of the military's support for the Hollywood film industry, and his expression is grim, so that people can't see a trace of what he thinks.

After a while, he said slowly: "The national conditions are different, I understand what you mean, but you have to understand that Huaxia is not a United States country after all, if you want to cooperate with the film company like the United States, and even take the initiative to provide convenience for the film company to use some of the military's scenes, to be honest, I don't think your idea can be realized." ”

And so it was.

Yang Ming heard Liang Tianxiao's answer, and sighed secretly in his heart, although the Ministry of Defense has also set up a media propaganda office, wanting to follow the example of the Pentagon and promote the positive image of our army in various film and television works, but according to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, it must be gradual and slow.

It is simply impossible for the Ministry of Defense to want to do what he wants.

In other words, it was a fantasy to use such a huge military force and advanced weapons and equipment to make a movie with the main theme led by the army itself.

"Then Lieutenant Colonel Liang, what do you think of this matter??" Yang Ming noticed that there was a trace of wave in Liang Tianxiao's eyes, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask such a question.

When Liang Tianxiao heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he glanced at the young man in front of him with great meaning, but he didn't expect that he had just been distracted for a while, and he actually let this young man see that at such a young age, it was really not simple.

After squinting his eyes and thinking about it carefully, he said to Yang Ming's plain and serious eyes: "Actually, I am also worried about the fact that the scope of recruitment and selection of materials for our army has become smaller and smaller in recent years, and I have carefully considered why this situation has occurred, so I chose to come here." ”

Speaking of this, Liang Tianxiao shut up and stopped talking, but Yang Ming was also very satisfied to be able to talk about it like this.

Yang Ming can also clearly understand the problems revealed in his words, especially Director Liu, who sat on the other side and always listened to Yang Ming and Liang Tianxiao talking, without saying a word, at this time he felt the deepest emotion in his heart.

The annual conscription propaganda is a torture for him.

A good man is not a soldier!

This sentence has long been true among the Chinese people.

Moreover, now the Chinese government has done a good job in all kinds of welfare for the people, so in today's society, under normal circumstances, most parents do not want to see their children run to become big soldiers.

Even if the population base of Huaxia is large, it will not worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.

However, the number of people who sign up to join the army every year is declining year by year, and the scope of military recruitment and selection is gradually shrinking.

This is very disadvantageous for some special classes with higher requirements.

We may not see any danger in recent years, but after 10 years, some branches of the armed forces will have the problem of having difficulty choosing a successor.

This is by no means alarmist.

For example, the ace pilots of the Air Force are the aces among the trump cards who have been selected from countless ordinary pilots, and the pilots are soldiers who meet the requirements from the countless ordinary people who aspire to the white clouds and blue skies.

But now there are fewer and fewer young people who want to join the military as pilots every year.

Without a huge talent base, how can it be possible to screen out the elite of the elite and the trump card of the trump card.

"Lieutenant Colonel Liang, can you arrange for me to make a work report to the relevant leaders of the Ministry of National Defense?" Yang Ming made this decision after careful consideration, and if he wanted to get strong support from the military for filming, then he had to get the consent of the upper echelons.

And he could also feel that Liang Tianxiao seemed to have the intention to do this, but the relationship between the military and his superiors was very strict, and he couldn't bring it up without permission, so he could only be said by Yang Ming, an outsider.

Sure enough, hearing Yang Ming's words, Liang Tianxiao's eyes lit up, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "Just shoot the leader and don't pay much attention to this matter." ”

It is true that China is not as good as the West, and people's livelihood will always be in the first place, as for other entertainment and sports, even if they have great influence, it is impossible to make the high-level officials pay much attention to it, at most they just look at it.

This is the case with the national conditions, or it has been the case with China since ancient times.

Yang Ming couldn't help but say: "Lieutenant Colonel Liang, you said that if Oriental DreamWorks does not get support from the military, it is very likely that it will go to the Pentagon to seek cooperation." ”

"I can't help it, Yang Ming, in this way, the impact is too bad. Director Liu hurriedly pulled Yang Ming's arm, wanting to stop him from this idea.

As an old man in officialdom, Director Liu knows that Yang Ming's threatening behavior is definitely taboo in officialdom.

Yang Ming naturally knew that it was not good for him to say this, looking at the cold look on Liang Tianxiao's face, he knew the result, the country's army was the least likely to be threatened, and Ci was not in charge of the army!

But he had to.

First of all, the cooperation between Oriental DreamWorks and the military is, in essence, a business model, not a subordinate relationship.

Since it is a business cooperation, then normal bargaining is also a normal thing.

If this is not the case now, after the cooperation begins, the military will definitely intervene in the films that will be cooperated with later and ask for this and that change, which will be very uncomfortable for the director of the film.

Therefore, Yang Ming thought about it and still chose this approach.

He was only cooperating with the army.

What the army wants is to show the different styles of Chinese soldiers in the movie.

And what he wants is the military's support for filmmaking.

That's all.

"If the Ministry of Defense does not agree, then I can only go to the Pentagon, I believe they will be extremely enthusiastic when they see me seeking cooperation!" Yang Ming said helplessly.
