Chapter 454. Civil-military cooperation, the main theme of the air combat film? 【2-in-1】

The plot is coherent, the two chapters are put together, 5000 words, the following text:

Starry sky image.

Sun Yi led Uncle Wang to the sofa and sat down.

Today, Uncle Wang still came in a military uniform, accompanied by a young soldier who was like a secretary, but he didn't follow up, but after handing over the briefcase to Uncle Wang, he chose to wait in the rest area outside the office.

Sun Yi could see that Uncle Wang's posture today was obviously not here to talk to him, but he was really a little unsure of what it was for a while.

If you make a movie yourself, you can't get close to the Air Force anyway.

was pondering, Liu Yifei made a cameo appearance as a waiter at this time, made tea, and brought it over.

Uncle Wang put down the briefcase, raised his hand to take it with a smile, and said politely: "Xiao Liu, I grew up watching this kid grow up with his bare buttocks, and he is not an outsider, don't be busy, sit down." ”

"Uncle Wang, it's okay."

Xu is not an outsider This sentence touched Liu Yifei's heart, and for a while, her pretty face turned a little pink, and she brought cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays, and put them on the coffee table between the two, and then sat beside Sun Yi obediently.

Uncle Wang nodded secretly and made a joke.

"You kid is so blessed, when will you hold a banquet, remember to inform me, uncle will prepare a big gift for you."

As soon as these words came out, let alone Liu Yifei, even Sun Yi was a little embarrassed.

It's not that he is really thin-skinned, but his memory of his childhood is really vague, according to the actual situation, this is the second time he has met Uncle Wang, and for a while he can't adapt to the enthusiasm of Uncle Wang's elders.

Wang Shaojun seemed to see the embarrassment of the two young people, smiled knowingly, and said heartily: "Men should marry and women should marry, what is there to be embarrassed about young people in free love, okay, don't be funny, get down to business." Immediately, his face showed a bit of righteousness, and he asked Sun Yi: "Xiaoyi, Uncle Wang heard that this company has acquired the digital field in the United States?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Yi's doubts in his heart were even worse, does this thing have anything to do with the army?

However, he nodded and replied, "Yes, Uncle Wang." ”

Wang Shaojun nodded, opened the briefcase on the side casually, took out a few documents, handed them to Sun Yi, and said loudly: "Uncle Wang is going to the Three Treasures Hall today without anything, and he came to cooperate with you, a big director, you take a look at the information first." ”

Sun Yi hurriedly took it, his hand trembled subconsciously, and his eyes flashed to Uncle Wang.

Red-headed files!

Can I see this?

Wang Shaojun nodded, indicating that this could be passed on, and motioned for him to read it.

"On Carrying Out Special Activities for Patriotic Education in the New Era of Our Army"

Text: Taking the celebration of the 60 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China as an opportunity, the relevant units affiliated with the military have produced or popularized films, television, dramas, and other works with the main theme that show the magnificent course of struggle of the party, the state, and the army, and have used excellent works full of the spirit of heroism and patriotism to enhance the ideological understanding of officers and men, arouse their sense of honor, responsibility, and mission, strengthen their aspirations to strengthen the army, and cultivate patriotic feelings.

Through these works of the painting era, you can read the shocking epic of struggle, and understand the heroic feelings and patriotic spirit in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture.

The specific activities are as follows

Not only Sun Yi watched, but Liu Yifei was also like a curious baby, stretching her neck to glance here.

After reading the whole article, Sun Yi had some conjecture in his heart, and asked Uncle Wang tentatively: "Uncle, what do you mean, making movies?" ”

Wang Shaojun took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it by himself, took a deep breath, nodded and said:

"yes, making a movie."

Hearing this, Sun Yi was even more puzzled.

He didn't think about it, he didn't think of any Air Force-themed film and television works during this period of 09.

Just as he was racking his brains, Wang Shaojun began to explain.

"This year is not the 60 th anniversary of the founding of the motherland, it is a historical moment, this document was issued by the higher-level military commission at the end of last year, and it is not something too secretive, not only our air force, all branches of the military have it, but also your local area must also have related ones, and the original plan of our air policy is to prepare a patriotic drama with the theme of the air force."

Sun Yi nodded.

He understands this, just like China Film Group, generally this kind of major historical moment, all walks of life have to say something, the film and television industry is of course shooting the main theme film, and this is also the case with "The Wind" under the starry sky, he is still looking for a script, Uncle Wang's Air Force Television Art Center belongs to the air government, and it is also the main propaganda department, and film, television, and dramas are involved, so it is the same.

But why did this drama get involved in the movie, Sun Yi is still a little unclear.

Fortunately, Wang Shaojun didn't sell it, and directly continued to explain:

"You also know, your Uncle Wang, I only took office after the Spring Festival this year, and I also saw this event, frankly speaking, it was very good to prepare the drama before, and I kept it, but I still think that the dissemination of the drama is not as strong as the movie after all, so I asked my superiors to apply for an additional fund, and I am ready to invest in shooting a main theme movie according to the relevant requirements. And it took more than two months to prepare"

Speaking of this, Wang Shaojun paused, his brows gradually furrowed, and he sighed and said:

"Tsk, no, the effect is not satisfactory, I think it is too simple, with the current level of our art center, it is really difficult to shoot a shocking production."

"Don't talk about the audience, a few shots of the sample, I can't watch it myself, after a lot of understanding I know, war-themed films, need strong film and television production capabilities, our art center has been based on small sitcom dramas and dramas, this time on this kind of large-scale film, it is indeed a little unbearable, this is the mistake I made, I want to review, but the funds have been approved, I have to make an appearance, so, I heard that you have acquired one of the top special effects companies in the United States, Uncle Wang came to you for help. ”

Oh, now Sun Yi understands a little bit in his heart.

No wonder, he thought about it for a long time and didn't remember that there was any Air Force-themed movie at this time in his previous life.

Either Uncle Wang was not transferred, or the film plan was finally shelved at that time.

Anyway, the biggest variable in this matter is himself.

"So, uncle, what do you want me to do?"

"Our Air Force Television Art Center will work with your starry sky image, military and civilian cooperation, and make a movie together."

Hearing this, Sun Yi nodded and groaned for a long time.

There is no problem with making movies, this is his old job, "Huantai" has not finished preparing yet, and he also has time, besides, he originally wanted to make a main theme film, but he has not yet found a good theme and script, if he says so, now is a good opportunity.

It's just a movie, it's not so simple, it's just filmed.

"Uncle, there's nothing wrong with this shooting, but the script, preparation, time, these things, we all have to plan well, mainly the script, without this, everything can't be carried out."

Wang Shaojun pointed to the document in front of Sun Yi and said: "The bottom one is the script created by our art center, and it was prepared according to it before, but we can't make such a scene, how about you take a look at the story first?" ”

When Sun Yi heard this, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly looked at it.

Yo, the first generation of the Air Force.

This is the period of the Anti-Japanese War.

Sun Yi also lit a cigarette and watched while smoking.

Although he is not familiar with the story of China's first-generation air force, he also knows a little about it, and it is a very heroic epic.

And this kind of story is different from the general war theme, such a theme must involve air battles, you know, if you want to shoot air battles well, but far beyond ordinary ground wars, just watch a few excellent air combat movies in film history, so it's no wonder that Uncle Wang's Air Force Art Center has been preparing for several months, but it's still not good.

Don't talk about them, at present, none of the film and television companies in the country can take it down if they don't look for Hollywood.

But for today's starry sky, with the blessing of the digital field, you can really try it, and if you don't get it right, it can also open up a precedent for domestic air combat movies.

However, if Sun Yi remembers correctly, this first-generation air force is all Guodang troops.

This. Will it work?

In the office, Sun Yi asked the doubts in his heart.

Wang Shaojun laughed after hearing this, and replied:

"Boy, you don't know what department your Uncle Wang is in, if you want to talk about film and television production, you Uncle Wang and I are really almost meaningful, but when it comes to political literacy, the absolute position is firm."

"You don't know, our air force is different from the army, it can be said that the air force of New China is completely developed on the basis of the Guodang air force, but it is different from it, the Guodang air force is relatively pure, they are composed of a group of patriotic and rich children, aspiring intellectual youth, and overseas Chinese and their children, with their enthusiasm to serve the country, it does not involve party differences, and there are many underground party members of our party."

"So, their stories are okay, and as the first generation of the Air Force, their heroic deeds are also worthy of praise."

When Sun Yi heard this, he knew it in his heart.

He forgot that the Uncle Wang in front of him was in the Political Department of the Air Force, but he was upright.

And from the point of view of his analysis, it is also true, including the navy and the air force, which are high-tech arms, and there really is very little partisan distinction.

The book that can be reviewed and approved by the troops, he really doesn't need to be mediocre.

But there's a catch.

"Uncle Wang, can I adapt this book again?"

"How do you want to adapt?"

"Well, add some commercial elements."

Regarding this current script, the story is okay, but it still has old problems, which is the same as the traditional main theme film, which is too positive.

If such a movie is made, it will definitely be in line with the theme of the main theme, and it will not go wrong, but it is 100%, no, to be precise, there is a high probability of losing money.

More than ninety percent.

If it's a low-cost film, forget it, Sun Yi will take it as a contribution, but what kind of theme is this?

Air combat!

Referring to Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly", there are fierce war scenes in the first 30 minutes of the movie, that's it, the total investment is more than 80 million, this is still a land war, you don't need to burn special effects, you can shoot with live props, but if you want to shoot air battles well, you must have special effects, that is, spending money like water.

Tens of millions of special effects costs are scattered and played.

Sun Yi's money is not blown by the wind, and he can't play like this.

Wang Shaojun obviously thought about this issue before he came, after all, Sun Yi's starry sky is a private film and television company, and people want to make money, so he didn't hesitate too much, so he nodded and replied:

"No problem, this movie is looking for you to cooperate, please director, just believe you, the script can be changed, and it can also go to commercialization, but the theme of the main theme cannot be changed, and the final script must be reviewed and approved by our air government."

"That's as it should be."

"Well, that's fine."

"Okay, uncle, I'll take this job."

"Okay, uncle, that's right."

"By the way, Uncle Wang, how much are you going to invest in this movie?"

"Well, I applied for a grant of 20 million at that time, and I used this as an investment."

When Sun Yi heard this, his jaw almost dropped.

Oh my god.

20 million.

You're going to play air combat.

I'm afraid I don't have to use model airplanes.

No wonder Uncle Wang himself can't stand it, this is purely an insult to the audience's IQ.

This is not to say that they intend to do so, but now, the audience has experienced Hollywood special effects blockbusters, and their vision is already very high, and they will inevitably be scolded if they fool the audience with models.

Xu is Sun Yi's expression was a little frozen, so that Wang Shaojun saw some clues, and this man from the military also felt that his face was gloomy, but the actual situation of the army at the moment was like this, and the limited funds had to be used on the blade, but he also made a promise.

"Although we don't have a lot of funds, we can provide relevant weapons, ammunition, personnel, aircraft, and props, and you can just open your mouth when the time comes."

"Okay, uncle, I will do my best."

After sending Uncle Wang away, Sun Yi was actually a little happy, smoking a cigarette, holding the script and humming a little song.

The main theme movie has been solved, and the starry sky numbers here can also use this film to practice their hands, and they can also experience the shooting of war movies.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone, the only thing is that he needs to adapt the script by himself, there is nothing to learn from, however, he is not afraid, in the past few years of rebirth, he has made so many movies and adapted a lot, he also wants to try it now, he has no reference at all, and the ability to adapt and create independently.

Liu Yifei saw his appearance, reached out and snatched the cigarette, pressed it in the ashtray, "Don't smoke." ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Yiyan was snatched away, still smiling, Liu Yifei was so angry and funny, and couldn't help but disgust: "Look at you, as for a movie, I didn't see you happy like this when I made a movie before." ”

"Lady, this is a bad word. You know, being a soldier is every man's dream, although I haven't really entered the barracks as a husband, but I am still very happy to be able to play in the play. ”

Liu Yifei was a little puzzled, and then asked: "Didn't you act as a talent before, why aren't you a soldier anymore?" ”

Sun Yi shook his head again and again, and replied with the corners of his mouth: "It's different, it's different." ”

"It is said that the army, navy, and air force are all big hooligans, oops, I want to experience what kind of hooligan method I have."

Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yi angrily, and said: "Virtue, you still use experience, you are." ”

"Haha, okay, let's stop driving today, and change to jerking off."

"Oops! You're a rascal! ”

In the following days, Sun Yi began to adapt the script, and also began to read various historical records of the year.

For China's first-generation air force, the propaganda of this year is basically equivalent to nothing.

Many people's deeds have not been unearthed.

Sun Yi searched in many ways and frequently read the materials of various military museums. And under Uncle Wang's arrangement, he interviewed the older generation of the Air Force and listened to their stories.

With the deepening of understanding, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and at the same time put away his playfulness, and even blamed himself very much for a while, when he learned the motto of the Central Aviation School, the first aviation school in China, he was a big man, and he burst into tears on the spot.

"Our bodies, planes, and bombs should be destroyed along with the enemy's warship positions."

In the long years of the Anti-Japanese War, countless Chinese soldiers have sacrificed for the country. Like the army and navy, the first generation of the air force of that era also fulfilled its original oath with its own blood.

In that magnificent era, the Central Aviation School has trained a total of 16 classes, a total of more than 1,700 students, most of them graduated from the school to the heroic sacrifice of only about 6 months, these young soldiers died, the average age was only 23 years old.

Most of the students who study in this school come from extraordinary backgrounds, and according to today's parlance, they are all a group of "rich second generations" who are high up.

Among these people are Lin Huiyin's younger brother Lin Heng, as well as the youngest son of Zhang Boling, president of Nankai University, Shen Chongzhi, the son of a wealthy nobleman, the son of Yu Dawei, the "father of military industry" in China, the youngest son of educator Zhang Boling, and Lin Rizun, the son of an overseas Chinese businessman, and so on.

And the short, one-line diary from their instructor.

"My students have all died in battle, and now it's my turn as a teacher."

All of these are not without grandeur.

These proud sons of heaven who were born with a golden spoon could have lived a beautiful and splendid life, but when the country was dying, they all put life and death aside, and used their young bodies and flesh and blood to build the Great Wall of the Chinese nation.

Sun Yi suddenly felt that the scripts in his hands were no longer pages of light and fluttering paper, they were as heavy as Mount Tai, dyed with the blood of heroes.

For a whole month, Sun Yi had no interest in everything in the outside world, so he adapted the script behind closed doors, Liu Yifei was also deeply shocked by reading and watching it, and supported him very much, became a virtuous helper, washed clothes and cleaned up the house without complaints, and taught himself to cook, so he accompanied Sun Yi every day.

Some of the activities that invited Sun Yi to attend, they could push it if they could, but if they couldn't, Liu Yifei attended it as a girlfriend instead of her.

For example, in the movie "Nanjing, Nanjing" released on April 22, Han Dong specially called Sun Yi to invite him to attend the premiere, Sun Yi really didn't have time, so he could only apologize to Han Dong, and in the end, Liu Yifei attended on his behalf.

Before leaving, Sun Yi also specifically told her that if she could not watch the movie, she would not watch it, so as not to be angry, just take a formality.
