406 Military Movies Walk
He Fang reached an ideological consensus with a group of bigwigs in the film and television industry in the capital, so that they could recognize the possible destruction of the enemy and let everyone be prepared. After reaching this agreement, He Fang went to the Haizheng Film and Television Art Center.
Because of the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yemen in March 2015, he had to use some naval equipment to apply for filming this story, and he had to get the consent of the navy.
As for He's request, the people of Haizheng Film and Television Art Center paid great attention to and welcomed him, and even gave relaxed conditions to the superiors. He Fang's "Operation Mekong" has given a new benchmark for China's main theme films, what kind of main theme will make the audience like it?
He Fang gave the answer to "Operation Mekong", what he wanted was the main theme of this quality, so as soon as He Fang said that he wanted to make a main theme movie for the Navy, they warmly welcomed it.
After arriving at the Haizheng Film and Television Art Center, I communicated with the leaders of their center, and after He Fang told his story concept, the leaders of Haizheng liked it very much, showing the combat power of the special operations team Jiaolong, but there will still be not too much plot, and only the tragic war and battle pictures will be used to present the movie.
Then there is who put forward a series of equipment requirements, and he asks for the display of such and such weapons, and even some conceptual weapons.
The people of the maritime administration can't decide on this point, and they have to report this to the above.
He Fang stayed here for a few days, and when he was summoned from above, he asked him to explain why he wanted to display these weapons, and some people were worried that showing off their muscles too much would cause other countries to be jealous.
But He Fang directly refuted it in one sentence: "Leaders, if we don't show others, we won't be afraid?" It's not transparent to show that people attack us every day, and what gear do we really think they don't know?
Moreover, the proper display of muscles will not make others jealous, but will only make those underworld forces who want to attack our citizens jealous. And, of course, it will give our people unprecedented self-confidence.
Let them know that no matter where they are in the world, our country will provide them with the protection they deserve, which is a promise to the people as a people's army. ”
was poured down by such a bowl of hot-blooded chicken soup, which made the leaders also excited, they were all in the army, who hasn't had a little blood, and didn't have the idea of waving their fists?
It's just these years...... Okay, the dew point is the dew point, as it is said, even if they don't show it, others will know, so ......
In the end, with the efforts of He Fang, the leaders agreed to his plan. The main display is individual equipment and fleet weapons, such as certain models of missiles and communications support, or air support.
It is necessary to show how warships can provide air support to land at sea, especially on the territory of other countries.
After determining these equipment plans, all that remains is to polish the script, and this time Haizheng will not follow the script, but only ask to review and meet the requirements.
This is already very lenient and very friendly.
After dealing with Haizheng, He Fang met with several bigwigs in the circle in the capital, and many parties wanted to participate in the project of "Operation Red Sea", and they had long been staring at He Fang's project.
In order to unite and unite the film and television circle that has just been split by those literary directors, He Fang also gave up this interest. In fact, he doesn't want to eat alone, not to mention that the more people participate, the bigger the cake will be, and the profit margin will be more, which is not a bad thing.
"Director He, you are becoming more and more addicted to making movies with the main theme, will there really be a big market?" Xiao Wang, Mr. Wang Zhonglei, asked after touching a cup with He Fang.
"Of course, believe me, Operation Red Sea will be much higher at the box office than Operation Mekong. I said a long time ago that the main theme movie will be a big genre and a big direction in the future. After He Fang finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
"But this is in cooperation with the military, so I won't listen to ......" Xiao Wang's words were not finished, but everyone understood.
"What's there to be afraid of? The U.S. military has invested in a number of movies in every war, the most famous of which are "Top Gun", "Escape from Tehran", "American Spy", "Transformers" series, "Hunt for bin Laden", "Green Beret", ......
Many, even many of the Marvel Universe films, are directly funded by the U.S. military. Not to mention those who are simply involved, because when Hollywood's producers want to shoot military weapons and equipment and the U.S. military, they will apply for cooperation with the 'Film Contact Group' jointly conducted by the military and the CIA.
Over the years, I don't know how many movies have been directly involved and invested in by the U.S. military. For example, there are more than 60 Korean War movies made by Americans, of which at least 50 are wholly funded by the U.S. military.
So there's nothing surprising about working with the military to make a movie, it's still going to have to be made. After He Fang finished speaking, he spread his hands indifferently.
"But Director He, the United States can do this, but if we do this, we will be attacked, smeared, and banned by them. Even you yourself have said countless times that Americans play double standards, and there are some things they can do that others can't. Yu Dong said worriedly.
"Oh, Mr. Yu, you're to the point. It's okay, the director is me, and the main investor is also me, don't be afraid to follow behind, even if you want to block it, it won't involve you. He Fang waved his hand indifferently.
"Director He, I'm not afraid that the Americans will ban me, what's the use of banning me? What I'm afraid of is that the Americans will block you, and if you block you, there will be no one to lead us to charge into battle internationally, and it will be all of us who will lose. Yu Dong's words are also true.
"Don't be afraid, it's just to make a movie, they won't blatantly ban me, if you ban me because of a movie, the reason is not legitimate. After all, my movie does not satirize the United States, nor does it involve Chinese and foreign ideologies, so on what grounds should I be banned?
Of course, there must be some small actions behind the scenes, but we are not afraid of this. Last time they played a small move, if they still play this time, we have a countermeasure. "Who is going to give everyone a sense of relaxation.
Although everyone was a lot more relaxed, they were still not completely relaxed, and He Fang felt that they were still a little worried.
After all, Chinese businessmen understand a truth: businessmen do not fight with officials, they can make some money from ordinary people, but when it comes to the threat of the United States, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Operation Mekong" has given you a sample, proving that the main theme market is very good, why has no company followed up until now? Isn't it just scary?
The shadow of the name tree of people, the prestige of the world hegemon is real, they are afraid.
"You guys, what's there to be afraid of? Even Marx said: when the profit reaches 10%, the capitalists will be ready to move; When the profit reaches 50%, the capitalists will take risks; When the profits reach 100%, the capitalists dare to trample on all the laws of the world; When the profits reached 300%, the capitalists dared to risk hanging.
You still want to surpass the Western capitalists, but if you don't even have the courage of the Western capitalists, how can you surpass them? Since the main theme movie has huge profits, are you still afraid of an egg? When other people's means come, it's not for you to be the first to suffer, we are also organized, right? ”
He Fang patted the table and said enthusiastically.
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes, Director He is right. If we don't even have the courage of others to compete with others, this thing is done, and our company still has a good book with two main themes. ”
"It's done, it's done."
……
The next day, He Fang returned to Changsha, and he and the screenwriter team had to continue to polish a few scripts, and also had to see the post-production work of "Huantai 2".
Of course, he also saw that "Breaking the Sky", which was in full swing, had returned to Changsha, and "Breaking the Sky" has now finished some of the location shooting and has returned to the studio of Huying Group.
In the computer room in the later stage, He Fang happened to meet Zhang Mo, who was guiding the editing and cutting, and there was a bit of an argument.
"Director Zhang, if you don't make films, what are you doing in this editing room?" He asked.
"Uh...... Edit and sort out the content of the pre-shooting. Zhang Mo hurriedly stood up and said.
He Fang waved his hand, and then smiled.
"What, don't feel at ease with the editing? Afraid they'll cut out your best shots? ”
"Hey, that ......"
Thank you for the reward of the book friend [Time 1979], thank you Lao Tie for your support!
