Chapter 864 Initiative (1/3)

The greatest characteristic of the Chinese nation is moderation.

The golden mean refers to an attitude of being impartial, balanced and balanced.

This attitude towards doing things is regarded by countless Chinese people as the key to success.

It is even regarded by many people as the highest moral principle and natural law.

The Chinese military is no exception in this regard. Yang Ming found that this life is a little better than the previous one. After all, China is powerful in this world and has some military bases abroad. From time to time, it can show off its advanced military equipment and show off its muscles.

In the previous life, the Chinese military wished that the whole world wouldn't pay attention to it. If it wasn't for the purpose of promoting its weapons, it participated in various military exhibitions, or the Chinese people themselves didn't know how advanced their country's weapons were.

It can be seen that it is extremely difficult for Yang Ming to get the Ministry of National Defense and the military to support the Hollywood film industry like the United States.

The filming of "Transformers" required the cooperation of the Chinese military at military bases in the Middle East, and also required a lot of manpower and material resources. It can be said that without the cooperation of the military, it would probably take a long time for the crew to build it themselves.

Liang Tianxiao had been listening to Yang Ming's analysis of Mi**'s support for the Hollywood film industry, with a stern look on his face that made it impossible to see a trace of his inner thoughts.

After a while, he slowly said: "The national conditions are different. I understand what you mean, but you have to understand that China is not the United States after all. If you want to cooperate with the film company like the United States, you will even have to take the initiative to use it for the film company."

Some scenes in the military provide convenience. To be honest, I don’t think your idea can be realized."

Sure enough.

Yang Ming sighed secretly when he heard Liang Tianxiao's answer. Although the Ministry of National Defense has also set up a media publicity office and wants to follow the example of the Pentagon in the United States and promote a positive image of our military in various film and television works, according to the Ministry of National Defense's

The plan must be gradual and slow.

It is simply impossible for the Ministry of National Defense to follow his own wishes.

In other words, it used to be a fantasy to use such huge military power and advanced weapons and equipment to shoot a movie with a theme theme led by the military itself.

"Then Lieutenant Colonel Liang, what do you think of this matter??" Yang Ming noticed a trace of confusion in Liang Tianxiao's eyes, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask such a question.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Liang Tianxiao's eyes, and then he glanced at the young man in front of him meaningfully. He didn't expect that he had just been distracted for a moment, and actually let this young man see that he was so sharp at such a young age.

The observation ability is really not simple.

After squinting his eyes and thinking carefully, he faced Yang Ming's calm and serious eyes and said: "Actually, I am worried that the scope of recruitment and selection of our army has become smaller and smaller in recent years. I have carefully considered why this happened.

This is a situation, so I choose to come here."

At this point, Liang Tianxiao shut up and stopped talking, but Yang Ming was very satisfied with being able to talk to this point.

Yang Ming could also clearly understand the problems revealed in his words, especially Director Liu who was sitting on the other side and listened to Yang Ming and Liang Tianxiao talking without saying a word. At this time, he felt the deepest emotion in his heart.

The annual recruitment publicity is a torture for him.

A good man should not be a soldier!

This sentence has long been a truth among Chinese people.

Moreover, the Chinese government has done a good job in providing various benefits to the people. Therefore, in today's society, under normal circumstances, most parents do not want to see their children become soldiers.

Even if China has a large population base, it will not worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.

However, the number of people signing up to join the army every year continues to decrease year by year, and the scope of military recruitment and selection is gradually shrinking.

This is very disadvantageous for some special arms with higher requirements.

Maybe we won’t see any harm in the next few years, but in ten years, some branches of the military will face difficult choices about their successors.

This is by no means alarmist.

To use an analogy, the ace pilots of the Air Force are the aces among the aces who have been carefully selected from countless ordinary pilots. The pilots are soldiers who meet the requirements and are selected from countless ordinary people who aspire to the white clouds and blue skies.

But now, there are fewer and fewer young people who want to join the military and become pilots every year.

The selection scope of the Air Force is also constantly shrinking. Without a huge talent base, how can it be possible to select the elites among the elites and the aces among aces?

"Lieutenant Colonel Liang, can you arrange for me to make a work report to the relevant leaders of the Ministry of National Defense?" Yang Ming made this decision after careful consideration. If he wants to get strong support from the military for film shooting, he must get support from the top.

agree.

Moreover, he could also feel that Liang Tianxiao also seemed to intend to do this, but the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army was very serious, and he could not bring it up without permission. He could only let an outsider, Yang Ming, speak.

Sure enough, Liang Tianxiao's eyes lit up when he heard Yang Ming's words, but he hesitated and said, "It's just that the leaders don't pay much attention to this matter."

This is indeed the case. China is no better than the West, and people's livelihood always comes first. As for other entertainment and sports, no matter how influential they are, it is impossible for high-level officials to pay much attention to them. At most, they only look at them with high regard.

The national conditions are like this, or it has been like this in China since ancient times.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but said: "Lieutenant Colonel Liang, you said that if Oriental DreamWorks does not get support from the military, it is very likely that it will seek cooperation with the Pentagon of the United States."

"You can't do it, Yang Ming. The impact will be too bad." Director Liu quickly pulled Yang Ming's arm to stop his idea.

As an old man in the officialdom, Director Liu knew that Yang Ming's threatening behavior was definitely taboo in the officialdom.

Yang Ming naturally knew that it was not good for him to say this. Looking at the cold look on Liang Tianxiao's face, he knew the result. The country's army is the unit least likely to be threatened. Why doesn't Ci control the army?

But he must do it.

First of all, the cooperation between Oriental DreamWorks and the military is essentially a business model, not a superior-subordinate relationship.

Since it is a business cooperation, normal bargaining is also a normal thing.

If this is not done now, when the cooperation begins, the military will definitely intervene in the later cooperation films and ask for this or that modification. This will be very uncomfortable for the film director.

Therefore, Yang Ming thought about it and still chose this approach.

He just cooperated with the army.

What the military wants is to show the different styles of Chinese soldiers in the movie.

What he wants is the military's support for film shooting.

That's all.

"The only two militaries in the world that can support the filming of "Transformers" are China and the United States. If the Ministry of Defense does not agree, then I can only go to the Pentagon. I believe they will be extremely enthusiastic when they see me seeking cooperation.
