After the break, the two ladies played with their children on the lawn downstairs, while Atletico took guests to see his collection of models.
Although Boeing turned down the sponsorship request of the film crew, it eventually gave some help without money, and after reviewing the plan and script, they agreed to use the image of the CH47 in the trailer, and also gave away a full-scale model for shooting. After the production of the film was completed, the model was in the hands of Atletico Madrid and became his personal collection.
The model is very exquisite, through the windshield and portholes, you can see the models of soldiers with different postures in the engine room, and the engine fort is also equipped with a micro electric motor that can drive the rotor to rotate, but unfortunately the power is limited, and it can't fly just idling.
Shooting with a miniature model, if you are not careful, you will shoot Ultraman, but fortunately, Hollywood has the mature technology in this area, and most of the Statue of Liberty they destroyed are similar miniature models, and then adjusted in post, enough to be real enough to be real.
Bees have their own special effects company, so they naturally don't ask for anything else, and the work of Yikuai special effects is also quite beautiful, and after their skillful operation, the small model still shoots the feeling of a large aircraft.
It's just that Li Jiaming can't be happy in this way, although the model officially presented by Boeing is exquisite enough and the details are restored in place, but it does not exceed the limitations of the model itself, and he naturally can't be happy when he has high expectations.
Looking up at the few branches hanging down from the lintel, Li Jiaming turned his head slightly to the back and said: "Your creeper is so good, I haven't seen it for a long time, and it has grown to the fourth floor." β
"I have here the creeper documentary that I shot this year, would you like to watch it?" said Atletico as he walked to the window.
"Forget it!" Hearing the "documentary", Li suddenly lost interest. He had seen the film last year, and it was actually a video album of hundreds or thousands of photos, of course, about these thriving creepers outside the walls.
He would rather look at the real plants in front of him than look at those photos, after all, they are more vibrant.
The afternoon sun lazily shone on the walls, trees, and grass, and also illuminated the creepers outside the windows on the walls, their goose-paw blades swaying in the wind, setting off layers of green waves.
The four walls of the house were covered with lush creeper vines, and the little birds flew into it with fluttering wings in twos and threes, looking for the little dark blue berries covered with hoarfrost, and from time to time there was a chirping sound between the layers of green leaves, and I wonder if they had found those delicious fruits?
Creeper is a grape plant, which also grows with the help of tendrils, and also produces small flowers and berries, but the fruit does not taste very delicious, lacks sweetness and has trace toxins, which can be used in medicine but is not suitable for consumption. Only these stupid birds with a well-developed sense of taste would like to eat it, and then turn into a bird brand seeder and sprinkle its fruit all over the north and south.
This is Atletico Madrid's evaluation of the creeper, but he only dares to slander secretly, but he will not say it, after all, there is a creeper at home, and these plants at home are all planted by Tang Jiayi herself.
The texts of her elementary school days have long been forgotten in the depths of her memory, but after living on Egret Island for several years, Tang Jiayi has seen too many old houses covered by creepers, and finally she was captured by this kind of literary and artistic plant. Coupled with the fact that the appearance of her family's new house was too business and rigid, she thought of a way to build a green house with all over the ground.
Originally, according to Atletico Madrid's engineering thinking, I felt that the faΓ§ade of the house was dull and ugly, and it was completely possible to ask someone to redesign and renovate it, and there was no need to plant any creepers in a time-consuming and laborious way.
And even if you have to have the effect of covering the green vines, you can also use the wall to paint or paste plastic fake flowers, which is fast and low-cost, and will not corrode the wall and foundation, which is a model of how fast and easy to save.
This kind of direct approach to the target does not have much market in Tang Jiayi, she still insists that she must come to the truth, but she pretends to be generous and says that you can brush the wall and I will plant vines by half, and compare to see who looks better.
However, Atletico Madrid was not fooled, as the saying goes, "there is no harm if there is no comparison", and it is nothing to fake the rattan wall alone, anyway, no one will usually get close to see if the blades on it are real or fake. But if it is put together with the real rattan wall, others can see the difference as long as they are not blind, and it is not his style to lose and send it.
Then Tang Jiayi got the right to decorate the exterior wall of the horse house, she bought a lot of creeper seedlings and planted them along the roots of the four walls, and before that, she specially asked professionals to design and install climbing nets and drip irrigation fertilization systems to give them the best growing conditions.
Originally, the climate in the south was warm, and most of the creepers were evergreen in all seasons, and after sufficient water and fertilizer supply, these plants grew more rapidly, and in a few years, those planted on the sunny side have been moving to the fifth floor, and the shade in the north has also spread to the third floor.
Tang Jiayi is very attentive to these plants, and takes time to take pictures of them every day to record the growth process, even if she is in other places or abroad, she has to ask the people left behind to take pictures for her, and over time she has accumulated hundreds of photos of creepers. These photos can be played for a long time even if they are one second, and although the photos have been sorted out and screened, the content is too single after all, and few people can really concentrate on seeing the end.
The video I watched last year was nearly ten minutes long, and this year it will become half an hour if I don't get it right, so when I heard Atletico Madrid mention this, Li Jiaming immediately said that he was not very interested, don't hurt me.
"This year's film is different," Atletico said, "this time with slow motion cinematography, it was shot like a nature documentary, with characters, events and stories, and it didn't look as boring as last time." β
Atletico Madrid's words are still relatively reliable, and Li Jia immediately nodded with interest.
Slow photography in the field of photography is to increase the shutter time to make the picture appear a certain amount of motion blur, so as to express the movement of water and people and objects in motion.
In the field of photography, slow-motion photography is achieved by reducing the number of recorded frames and then playing back at normal speed to achieve the effect of speeding up and fast-forwarding, while high-speed photography is the opposite of slow motion that normally plays back. These two techniques are also often used in nature documentaries, using slow speed to film plant growth and high speed to shoot birds flying and fish jumping.
High-speed photography requires professional equipment and is expensive, and although slow-speed photography is cheaper, the cost is not low if you want to save trouble, but these problems are not a problem for this tyrant couple.
It was this that gave Li Jiaming the confidence to follow Atletico into the screening room again. Atletico Madrid said that this time the shooting was more formal, and it was more touching to watch on the screen.
On the lawn in front of the building, Li Duoduo was playing with the four snack goods, to be precise, he and Xiao Tiantian were building blocks, Xiao Zhizhi came to make trouble, and the strength of hemp sugar biscuits made a cameo appearance on the onlookers.
This is a special type of programmable building block with only a few shapes, such as a cube, a quadrangular prism, a triangular prism, a hemisphere, etc., and each shape has several colors. It encapsulates functions such as power supply, wires, sensors, manual control devices, and non-control devices, communication, input, output, etc., which can be freely combined and can be used to make many electrical models with different effects.
Obviously, such toys are actually for children who have a certain foundation in electricity, and have not studied "Junior High School Physics", at least they should have done the electrical experiments in the "Nature" textbook. And Li Duoduo and they are all preschool children, the oldest is less than five years old, and they don't have enough understanding and memory to use them well, so they can only use them to build walls like ordinary building blocks.
In fact, the reason why these toys can please them is that they are more "sticky" and easy to use. By aligning the two modules and fitting them together, the built-in magnetic connection allows them to attach to each other, so that the building blocks are not like the usual touch-and-fall buildings, and can be used to make big projects like Lego-style bricks with mortise and tenon joints.
There are also more complex and advanced versions of LEGO bricks, where you can build a fire truck, excavator, or other mechanical model that can be driven. And this kind of programmable building block obviously borrows its philosophy, but it is more radical and has more freedom.
The advantage of a large degree of freedom is that you can try it casually, and then occasionally when the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, Li Duoduo accidentally connected a small piece of circuit, activated a white hemispherical building block-shaped bulb module, and the sudden light startled himself and others.
However, the light went out quickly, because Li Duoduo added another module, and the BH401 chip built into the building block recognized the "short circuit state" and automatically cut off the power supply. After all, he was still too young, and he didn't have much ability to find problems, summarize the rules and solve them, so he tried several times and didn't get the light bulb to turn on again, so he put out this thought.
At a round table not far away, Duoduo's mother Tong Li and Tang Jiayi were sitting next to each other, wearing elegant and bright color-blocked long dresses, pastries and snacks and a full set of tea sets in front of them.
Their eyes were focused on the children, and naturally saw the scene just now, Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at Tong Li and quipped: "Do you feel sad and sad? An opportunity to become a genius prodigy passed by." β
Tong Li put her left hand on her lower abdomen, looked at her son a few meters away with gentle eyes, and said softly: "What's so sad about this? β
Hearing her words, Ms. Tang also nodded wildly: "I'm the same, I feel like I've returned all the knowledge I learned before to the teacher." β
"Huh?" she finally noticed Tong Li's hand covering her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Tong Li, you seem to have touched your belly a little too many times today?
After saying this, she also stretched out her little face in front of Tong Li, a pair of long eyelashes fluttering, and she did not hide her curiosity and gossip.
"Well," Tong Li nodded lightly, admitting this, but then she fought back a little and asked, "Are you guessing randomly? Just by touching the belly, it is said that people are pregnant, and those middle-aged fat uncles are likely to drink the water of the Zimu River?"
"I really guessed," Tang Jiayi said heartily, but she didn't admit it, but used her brain to think of the wording, "Of course I have other evidence!"
"Cute Detective" Tang Jia said: "First of all, your face is a lot rounder than last month, and your arms and legs seem to be thicker. And your cup of tea, don't drink coffee, don't drink Pu'er, don't drink oolong, but order a single cup of light green tea, which is already very revealing. β
The first three drinks all contain more coffee and non-caine ingredients, and their excitatory and diuretic effects are not good for pregnant women, which Tang Jiayi was warned about back then, and she remembers it quite well. Tong Li naturally loves light green tea, apparently to carry out the precautions after pregnancy.
Of course, Tang Jiayi went to look for clues after Tong Li nodded and admitted that she was pregnant, so she naturally found a quasi.
"Okay, you're reasonable," Tong Li smiled, "Actually, I'm envious of you more and more now, and I don't have to worry about it once I get it." β
"I can't give birth now if I want to," Tang Jiayi said.
Of course, Tong Li knew what she meant, and she didn't raise the bar and say something like "you can go abroad to give birth to an American", but lowered her head and took another sip of tea.
With the continuous decline in the birth rate of the population, the country gradually began to liberalize the birth policy, first double couples were allowed to have a second child, and then expanded to single couples, and in October 185 meeting made a decision to fully liberalize the second child.
However, the second child is not the second child, so Tang Jiayi will not be able to enjoy the policy benefits. Besides, she gave birth to four at a time, and she had already overfulfilled the task, so naturally she didn't have to care about how the national policy changed. So when the media was talking about the social and economic changes that the second child would bring, she didn't care very much. If it weren't for Jiajing Food's business expansion plan, she might not have taken the initiative to read the news in this area.
Tong Li glanced at her son, turned her gaze back to the teacup in front of her, and whispered: "Originally, we really didn't have a plan in this regard, but after watching some news, we thought that we might as well get another one while he was still young, otherwise it would be more troublesome in the future." β
Seeing the other party's puzzled eyes, she simply pointed out and said: "I have seen a lot of news on the Internet about only children resisting and boycotting younger siblings, and I am afraid that Duoduo will be like this in the future." β
"Shouldn't Duoduo?" Tang Jiayi glanced at the little boy who was having fun with his younger siblings, "You see, he likes to be lively." β
"Actually, you like your endless stream of new toys?" Tong Li quietly complained in her heart, but what she said was: "I continue to take maternity leave, I won't be opened, right?"
"How so?"
