Chapter 434 Special Forces(1/2)
"Recruiting troops?" When Yang Ming heard Hua's father's words, he couldn't help but think of information about the military in this world.
Perhaps it is because of China's strong national power in this era that the country does not have compulsory military service. The treatment of the recruited soldiers is not inferior to that of some white-collar workers in companies.
However, the current annual recruitment of the Chinese army has become increasingly difficult to recruit sufficient soldiers as the country's economic strength becomes stronger. In particular, there are fewer and fewer recruits with high-quality potential.
China's territory is vast and vast, and the number of soldiers needed to guard its borders needs to be kept at more than 1.5 million no matter how it is reduced.
This is just the soldiers of the army. If you add the navy and air force, the number will definitely exceed 2 million.
Therefore, when it was time to recruit troops every year, Hua Xingguo felt overwhelmed. Although he was not a general specifically responsible for this, their Hua family had an uncle who worked in the army's recruitment office, so he asked him to think of a way.
Yang Ming thought for a while, then looked up and saw Hua's father looking at him with piercing eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Hua, make a military-themed TV series for the army. I don't think there is any problem.
And I can guarantee that the ratings will definitely exceed the basic level and will make countless young people have a strong interest in joining the army!"
When Hua Xingguo heard this, he immediately became angry and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, as long as this TV series is filmed, the army will give you the greatest support, but you must ensure the effect, otherwise you will suffer the consequences
I know."
At the end of the sentence, Hua Xingguo's face deliberately showed the look of Yang Ming who wanted him to look good if he couldn't handle things well.
Yang Ming smiled slightly, his expression calm and composed, as if he was not affected by Hua Xingguo's aura. His eyes were clear and he said slowly: "Uncle Hua, this TV series was originally filmed at the request of the army, so the army supports it.
It’s as it should be.”
When Hua Xingguo heard this, he felt a little surprised in his heart, or he admired the young boy in front of him. To be honest, he had been a general for more than ten years, but no one had ever dared to do this in front of him.
Talk to him, and it seems that he has some conditions that he hasn't said yet.
Sure enough, Yang Ming paused for a moment and said, "If the TV series I filmed for the army does achieve the effect you requested, what can we, Oriental DreamWorks, get?"
Even if Hua Xingguo remained calm, when he heard Yang Ming's words, his eyes almost fell out of his eyes in shock. He turned his head and looked at Yang Ming with a look that looked like a kid.
.
The battlefield aura that Hua's father had developed in front of thousands of people made Yang Ming uncomfortable. However, since he chose to say these words, he gritted his teeth and looked at Hua Xingguo calmly, without any haste or worry.
Excuse me.
"Dad, Yang Ming, what are you talking about?" At this time, Hua Xiaoyue came over with a golf club.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that someone is negotiating terms with me! Haha, I really haven't encountered this kind of thing in many years." Hua Xingguo saw his daughter coming over and said calmly. After saying that,
He also gave Yang Ming a pointed look.
To be honest, if his daughter hadn't come over, Hua Xingguo would have almost exploded with anger. He knew that his daughter liked the boy in front of him very much, but he didn't expect that he would ask the boy in front of him to do something and dare to make demands. If it was one of his men
Bing, he slapped him long ago.
"Yang Ming, what's going on?" Hua Xiaoyue turned to Yang Ming and asked eagerly.
Yang Ming saw Hua Xiaoyue's worried eyes, sighed secretly in his heart, and said softly: "Uncle Hua wants me to make a TV series for their army, to reshape an image of the army in front of the public, and to recruit soldiers.
I agreed to make the work less difficult, but I have a small request."
When Hua Xiaoyue heard Yang Ming's words, she frowned and felt uncomfortable in her heart, and said, "What request do you want to make?"
When Yang Ming heard this, he looked up at Hua's father and saw Hua Xingguo raise his eyebrows and said: "You kid, tell me your requirements first. Don't think that you are the only one who can make a military-themed TV series. Without Butcher Zhang, you still won't be able to eat pigs with hair on them!
"
"Uh!" When Yang Ming heard Hua's father's words, his head was covered with black lines. This compared him to a pig. This shows how much Hua's father resented him. Of course, this effect was also what Yang Ming wanted to achieve.
Effect, "First, the TV series I filmed for the army is best broadcast on two TV stations at the same time. One of the TV stations is Phoenix TV, and the other TV station is a first-line TV station in China. However, our company has conflicts with most of the first-line TV stations in China.
A small change has occurred, so the selection of first-line TV stations to broadcast needs to be solved by the military itself."
"There's no problem with this!" Although Hua Xingguo didn't know what the change Yang Ming was talking about was, it was absolutely not difficult for him to randomly choose a first-tier Chinese TV station to broadcast this TV series at the same time as another TV station.
Although all Chinese TV stations in the world, except for the national TV station, are basically privatized, it is still very easy for the military to do something.
China, from ancient times to the present, has been a humane society.
Hua Xingguo doesn't understand the circles in the entertainment industry, but that doesn't mean Hua Xiaoyue doesn't know that if the army really comes forward and asks a first-tier TV station to broadcast the TV series of Oriental DreamWorks, it is estimated that all the top executives of that first-tier TV station will
I was so angry that I jumped to my feet. Moreover, this TV series has two stars and will be broadcast together with Phoenix TV.
I guess when the TV station knew this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
However, Hua Xiaoyue did not remind her father. She coughed lightly and glanced at Yang Ming mischievously.
Yang Ming felt a little uncomfortable with Hua Xiaoyue's eyes. He couldn't help twisting his body and changing his posture before he said his second request: "The last request is if this TV series exceeds your expectations.
As a result, I would like to ask the army to agree to my request, that is, if I use some weapons and equipment from the army in my future movies, can you provide a convenient door?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Ming saw Hua's father's strange eyes and immediately reacted and said quickly: "Uncle Hua, don't worry, our company will not lose a cent of the troops for renting military weapons and equipment. I just want to
It will be easier to ask the army to review the military weapons and equipment rented by our company!"
Although the Chinese army in this world is much more advanced than previous generations in terms of various military equipment, in other words, it is simply like the previous generation of Emperor Mi, who has always been at the top of the world.
But the current Chinese army has the same thing as the army in previous lives, that is, no matter what advanced equipment, it is hidden and tucked away, and no relevant weapon performance is announced to the public. As for the entertainment industry, if you want to use military weapons and equipment for filming
, I wanted to apply to the military for rent, but even after being reviewed, I wanted to jump off the building.
It's really too difficult.
As a result, except for those large-scale war films with military cooperation and participation in China's mainland, if other movies or TV series want to rent military equipment, they basically find a way from several countries surrounding China.
There is no other way. If they were not forced to do so, they would not choose this method of seeking the far away.
"No other requirements?" Hua Xingguo tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Yang Ming and said.
Yang Ming's head went numb when Father Hua saw him. He shook his head and said, "No more!"
At this time, Hua Xingguo, who had received the answer, fell into deep thought. He looked into the distance and planned in his mind the gains and losses of Yang Ming's two requests. The first request was relatively not difficult for the army.
, it’s the same whether it’s mentioned or not!
As for the second request, we need to negotiate, but it is not without room for negotiation.
Some senior military officials also proposed to relax the review requirements for the entertainment industry's need to rent military weapons and equipment, and opened a loophole to include some of the military's weapons and equipment that are not core, but are relatively advanced in the world, into film and television works.
Appearance to increase the military's influence in the hearts of the people.
"The second request is not impossible, but it depends on the final effect of the TV series you filmed. If the effect is very good, it will increase my reasons to convince the higher-ups!" Hua Xingguo said after careful consideration.
"Uncle Hua, don't worry. I guarantee that the ratings of this military-themed TV series will exceed 6%. Both TV stations will reach this rating. If not, then I will give up this request.
!" Yang Ming said confidently.
Hua Xingguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately became interested. He couldn't help but ask: "Which type of TV series are you going to shoot for this military-themed TV series? Army? Navy? Or our air force? If you are shooting an air force-themed TV series,
I can make the decision to relax the review requirements for renting military equipment in the future."
Hearing Hua Xingguo's promise, Yang Ming swallowed and resisted the temptation. Plane! This was the dream of many film directors in the past life. In the past life, the film industry wanted to make war movies and rent those planes. In addition to the military,
If you participate in a movie that represents positive energy, don't even think about those commercial movies.
This situation has made the films produced in China in the past life, commercial films that can use aircraft and cannons in fight scenes like those in Hollywood movies, very few or none at all.
However, he still resisted the temptation of the powerful aircraft and said solemnly: "Uncle Hua, the military TV series I want to make is about special forces!"
"Special Forces?"
Hua Xiaoyue and Hua's father couldn't help but look surprised, looking at Yang Ming with puzzled faces. Hua Xiaoyue asked: "Yang Ming, do you know what a special soldier is?"
When Yang Ming heard Hua Xiaoyue's glaring question, his face darkened, he coughed lightly and said, "Isn't he the King of Soldiers?"
Upon hearing this, Father Hua slapped the table and said: "Yes, it's the King of Soldiers! Okay, you kid, go back and finish the script, and then send it to me immediately. As soon as it passes the review, you can start filming immediately!"
"Okay, Uncle Hua, I'll take my leave first!" Yang Ming stood up and said goodbye to Father Hua.
Hua Xingguo waved his hand to indicate that Yang Ming could leave. Hua Xiaoyue immediately said, "I'll see Yang Ming off!"
After saying that, without waiting for Hua's father's consent, Hua Xiaoyue said to Yang Ming: "Let's go, Yang Ming!"
Seeing Yang Ming and his daughter leaving, Hua Xingguo sighed heavily: "Alas!"
After meeting this young man named Yang Ming today, he had a very good understanding of the relationship between his daughter and this young man.
It was not at all like what someone had told him before, that there was a pretty boy who had charmed his daughter and used his daughter to do some shameful things.
But after meeting this young man today, Hua Xingguo completely let go of his worries in this regard. The previous rumors were completely nonsense.
It was true that his daughter was fascinated by this young man, but he could definitely see that this was purely his daughter's wishful thinking and unrequited love.
Through the various actions of this young man, Hua Xingguo can be very sure that this young man named Yang Ming does not want to take advantage of his daughter at all, and does not need to take advantage of his daughter's family background.
If Yang Ming had this idea, he would not insist on meeting outside instead of going to his home.
Not to mention agreeing to his request and making several demands after filming a military-themed TV series.
Obviously, this Yang Ming's thoughts are very clear and there is nothing to hide, that is, one is one, two is two, cooperation is cooperation, both parties have contributed, and there are no complicated emotions involved.
In other words, this shooting was just a normal business cooperation.
When he thought of this, Hua Xingguo felt relieved and dissatisfied at the same time. What was wrong with his daughter? That boy didn't even have any ideas?
In terms of family background and appearance, my daughter is no worse than anyone else, yet this boy dares to face him, and is so hard-hearted that he doesn't want to take advantage of the Hua family.
Hua Xingguo felt itching with hatred when he thought of Yang Ming always maintaining a calm and confident look in front of him!
I will make sure this guy looks good when I look back.
