Chapter 196 Modern Military Films
Arriving at the training base of Zhang Ziming's special operations brigade, Lu Wenbin, who was riding in an armed helicopter, also felt very enjoyable. Even when he saw Zhang Ziming competing with his father, he couldn't help but show his skills a little.
In a tactical shooting center like this, as a member of a shooting club in his previous life, Lu Wenbin also trained many times. It's just that at that time, in the training center, it was more about playing realistic live-action games like Counter-Strike.
Combined with Lu Wenbin's super perception ability, the accuracy of his combat was indeed surprising to the special combat team members who were training. Even many special combat team members wondered if Lu Wenbin was deliberately invited by the chief of staff to slap him in the face.
When the 800-meter tactical shot came down, seeing that there was no mistake, and 90% of them were shot to the head, Zhang Ziming also said with a light in his eyes: "Wen Bin, do you want to consider enlisting in the army?"
Facing Zhang Ziming's solicitation, Lu Wenbin said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your kindness, although I envy the army and admire you." But my personality is not suitable for staying in the army, and military discipline is too powerful for me!
And I don't think there's anything to lose if I don't join the army. After all, with you elites protecting the Empire, as long as I do my job, it is also a contribution to the Empire. Being a soldier is not for me!"
"It's a pity! If I had known that you had such an excellent talent for shooting, I would have prevented you from going to any university and directly selected you to the army. After two years of training, you can definitely become an elite special operations officer. ”
"Uncle Zhang, you really look up to me! I am already very satisfied to be able to come to the army this time to experience the training of your special combat team. After all, I am also a descendant of military personnel, and I should know more about the military. ”
If other young people could understand the army as well as you do, the transformation of our army would not be so difficult. Now, it's really too difficult to dig out some good soldiers from the grassroots troops below!"
Listening to Zhang Ziming's words, Lu Wenbin thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think that the imperial army seems to be a little too low-key. Many young people's understanding of the military is more on paper and military training.
But the transformation that is taking place in the Imperial army is not really understood by many young people. This can be seen from the film and television works involving the military. Over the years, has Uncle Zhang watched any modern military movies?
Compared to the movies made by the US imperialists every year, most of them will shoot some films and television works that promote how powerful their army is. Our empire seems to be a little too conservative in this regard. Being too conservative will only lead young people to ignore the military.
At least in my opinion, the national defense courses offered by the empire in major colleges and universities are really about the war of the old yellow calendar. These wars of the old yellow calendar can now be seen completely on the Internet, where are the teachers used to talk about it?
Unless someone like my dad really cares about the transformation and development of the Imperial Army. Ordinary people know too little about the army, which also makes them have a lot of ignorance about the army. In that case, how can we attract talent to join the army?"
Listening to Lu Wenbin's narration, Zhang Ziming also felt that there was some truth, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then how do you think this matter should be changed? In fact, the military is also exploring military innovation and increasing the absorption and introduction of high-cultural talents. ”
If a truly educated young person wants to join the army, is it better for him to voluntarily sign up for the army, or is it better for the military to use high salaries to attract more people? In the final analysis, the purpose of joining the army is too impure.
And I personally think that the overall environment of the empire is such that many college students enlist in the army, which makes the military feel like a baby. But Uncle Zhang, you should know that not every college student who enlists in the army will definitely become the backbone of the army.
Many college students join the army, and more of them come to take the military academy to become officers. In contrast, what is the proportion of high school students and college students who are conscripted into the military? Personally, I think the cost of training national defense students alone is too high.
Only those who truly love the army and want to become a real soldier of the empire and contribute to the defense of the empire. Only when such a soldier joins the army can he truly become the cornerstone of the imperial army. Of course, this is just my personal opinion!"
Based on some of the information he has learned, Lu Wenbin also said such a thing in a timely manner. The defense strength of the Yanhuang Empire is actually stronger than that of another time and space. However, the technological development of the military seems to be very slow.
A huge army, huge defense spending, also became a big burden for the empire. Even in recent years, the Yanhuang Empire has been implementing a disarmament strategy and organizing more information-oriented troops, but it lacks high-tech talents who can really provoke the main pillars.
In fact, with the talent reserve of the Yanhuang Empire, it is naturally not a problem to meet the transformation of the imperial army. It's just that the welfare package of the Imperial Army, as well as the relatively conservative strategy, is not attractive to many young people.
As Lu Wenbin said this, Zhang Ziming also said seriously: "Wenbin, I think you see the problem very accurately! If other young people have such a vision as you, then I don't need such a headache."
In fact, as the Empire's special operations forces, we have always been the Empire's strongest army. It can be said that many of the high-end individual weapons developed by the empire are often first equipped with our special operations units.
However, as a combat unit, we need not only technical troops, but also technical troops with special combat strength. It's just that many of them have excellent military qualities, and their culture is a little unable to keep up with the changes in the troops. There are technologies, but the military quality is not satisfactory.
And this kind of problem is really a headache for us. Although in the past two years, the top of the empire has realized this problem. But it's still a bit difficult to change all at once. How do you think we can change that mindset?"
"Uncle Zhang, although your question seems to be a bit wrong! But since you asked, then I will share my opinion. Now is the information age, and an overly conservative army will naturally not be loved by young people.
A young man my age knows that our empire's special operations forces are very powerful. But many young people don't know anything about what special forces look like. In many cases, it can only be imagined.
If young people know how cruel the selection and testing they need to go through in order to become a truly elite special forces, I believe they will admire the special forces even more, and even yearn to become one of them one day.
In addition, we must let the people know that even in times of peace, the army of our empire is still silently contributing to the motherland. Although I don't know what kind of work your special operations brigade usually does.
But I believe that you are definitely on the front line when it comes to maintaining the stability of the empire's borders and fighting crime. Only by letting the people know about your efforts can they give more respect and support to the army!"
"You mean, do you do propaganda? In this case, won't it expose the secrets of the army?"
As for the secrets you mentioned, is the training of the special forces of various countries also called a secret in the eyes of the military intelligence departments of various countries?
What's more, there is no need to expose these situations in the case of propaganda! Sometimes, it is better to deter some lawbreakers by showing some muscles appropriately. Let them know that there is a group of people like you in the Empire, who are always on guard against them!"
On the way to the guest house, Zhang Ziming accompanied Lu Wenbin to chat about these words. Although it may seem a little strange. After all, Zhang Ziming is the chief of staff who studies special operations, but Lu Wenbin is a writer.
But as the exchange deepened, Zhang Ziming suddenly said: "If I can apply, let you be responsible for filming a TV series about special forces." Can you write a script like this? Of course, you can't expose too much of the troops?"
In response to Zhang Ziming's inquiry, Lu Wenbin thought for a while and said: "This takes time! First of all, I want to understand the life of special forces and know what you usually do." Even if it is artistically processed at the end, it should be more realistic.
In addition, if you want to shoot a modern military work, you will definitely not be able to do it without the support of the military. If you shoot and record, you will definitely use a lot of weapons. Even if you use empty shells, the weapons and equipment will inevitably be exposed. ”
"These are all right! Other military regions dare not say that in the Beiyi Military Region, my Zhang family still has a bit of thin noodles. If you can really write a good script, I can apply for approval from the military district for you. How about it, are you interested in taking on the challenge?"
Lu Bin, who was staying on the side, suddenly interjected: "Wen Bin, if you can really write a work about soldiers, then work hard! I think if you write military works, you will definitely write better than others."
A few years ago, I watched a TV series, and those directors and screenwriters wrote about the army like a family. Otherwise, you work hard, learn more from Uncle Zhang, ask for more advice, and take the time to write a script. You're not short of money right now, anyway!"
"Dad, what you said is light-hearted, it's not so easy to shoot military films. The weapons and equipment involved, as well as the troops filmed, the procedures are very cumbersome. Forget it, I'll try it first, okay?"
Looking at his father's rare opening, Lu Wenbin, who originally thought it was too troublesome, finally agreed to try it first. After all, Lu Wenbin still has a lot of TV series involving modern military themes.
And he knows that as long as a TV series is made that can truly reflect the demeanor and appearance of contemporary soldiers, he believes that the people will also buy it. In fact, what really needs to be resolved is whether the top military brass can agree.
Fortunately, Zhang Ziming had promised to help him contact the high-level of the Beiyi army for help. With this sentence, Lu Wenbin feels that it is also a good development idea for him to set off a trend of modern military films.
If filming a few modern military films can really improve the current situation of imperial conscription, then he will be able to enjoy a lot of benefits in the future. Therefore, there are both risks and gains in this matter, so it's not impossible to give it a try!
