industrial maniac

Hongqi workshop office.

The second sister, who is in charge of external affairs, brought a lot of scripts with a trolley.

All kinds of copywriting, some use Huaxia, and some use English.

Xu Fei squatted on the ground, picked up and browsed one by one.

Coming to Daze to make a movie must belong to science fiction.

The first book describes the story that happened on the moon base, which is a bit petty.

The second book describes the aerospace industry 30 years later, which is too boring.

The third one describes an alien invasion and lacks imagination.

The fourth book describes human-driven mechanical Three Kingdoms expedition to alien planets, can you afford the copyright fee?
fifth book...

Xu Fei watched them one by one and was very disappointed.

In today's Daze, there are American companies, German companies, central companies, private companies, and various agencies and offices.

It can be said that if you have a good script, as long as you impress Director Xu, you need investment and investment, personnel and personnel, venue and venue, post-production and post-production, and review.

It can even help you distribute it in Europe and the United States, and secure theaters.

Proper one-stop service.

But without a good script, shoot a bird?
Isn't this a waste of time for our factory?
Xu Fei waved his hand, "Let them come from and go back to."

"It's all stuffed with money."

"..."

"How about returning the money?"

"Actually, these scripts are quite good."

Xu Fei picked up the first copy again, and remained silent for a long time, "Let the director come over, and I'll moisten it for him personally."

"Ok."

In the past three quarters, the Osawa Industrial Complex has created a lot of foreign exchange.

Toys, automobiles, electrical appliances, agricultural and sideline products, hounds, two batches of M8, many spare parts...

Rough calculations, at least 300 billion US dollars.

But the money from the toys goes to feed the Navy SEALs, the money from the cars and the M8 goes to buying crude oil, and the money from the dogs goes to the joint defense.

And in order to purchase more crude oil, the family also borrowed 100 billion U.S. dollars.

This caused the foreign exchange reserves of one's own camp to fall instead of rising, and even fell to only three digits in the mid-90s.

With such a shortage of foreign exchange, we must earn foreign exchange crazily. Otherwise, how to purchase crude oil, how to introduce high-tech, how to recruit high-level talents?

In addition to "making money" everywhere, the superiors encouraged many companies to go public in North America, and also encouraged the film and television industry to go global as much as possible.

Although the company has not joined the WTO, many products cannot be exported, but movies are not restricted.

Therefore, making international blockbusters and impacting Hollywood has become the keynote.

The Daze Industrial Park, which is full of mechanical sense, plus the super brand-Mechanical Three Kingdoms, as well as various production lines and various derivative products of the Daze Industrial Complex, is simply an excellent shooting base for science fiction blockbusters.

As a result, many directors, producers, investors, and entertainment companies all wanted to come in.

They also entrusted people familiar with Director Xu, such as Cheng Guang, Lao Shang, Director Liang of the Development and Reform Commission, and the old lady of Dongshan Supply and Marketing Council, to help intercede.

However, in the millennium, no one has made serious sci-fi films, let alone so-called blockbuster sci-fi films.

Just like the famous director who walked into the office, including the producer who often appeared on China Radio, all of them were in their sixties.

If given a sci-fi script, can he imagine the scene?Can the plot be extended?
I'm afraid my mind is not full of Transformers and Bumpman.

Moreover, the domestic film market has decided that it is necessary to 'small cost, big production' at present, otherwise it will lose money.

The problem is, sci-fi films cost money to produce special effects.

Just like the first-generation machine promos, grand ceremony-level promos, destructive promos, and second-generation fighting version promos of Mechanical Three Kingdoms, which is less than 3 million dollars in just two or three minutes of footage?

When it came to the promotional video of the third-generation machine, Industrial Light and Magic’s quotation was as high as 1500 million US dollars!

Exchanged into red notes, I am afraid that it is not the box office of the annual blockbuster movie, and it is not as good as the cost of special effects for three to two minutes.

Xu Fei put down the script in his hand, and looked up at the director and producer who belonged to the iron job.

"We are all on our own, so I won't beat around the bush."

"Factory Manager, just give orders."

"Opening a base on the moon, the subject matter is very good, but I always stay in the house and play house... Do you think the audience can get excited when watching a sci-fi blockbuster?"

Producer: "Director, we also want to make the scene majestic and majestic, but we don't even have a timely expansion, so we can only use the four-pointed star airport as a distant view, and then switch to the interior to complete the shooting of the entire movie , which is currently the most cost-effective method that doesn’t even require special effects.”

"TEP Entertainment... No, it's called Tin Pi Entertainment now. I've made a few nonsensical sci-fi films before, have you seen them?"

"I've seen it, Guan Gong fought against Ao Cong Man, Lu Bu's expedition to Cybertron..."

"What do you think?"

"This……"

"Just say it."

"There is no main story line, no plot at all, and it can even be said to be a mess."

"But the box office of each film is no less than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Valkyrie of the Three Kingdoms even broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies. What do you say?"

"..."

"What do young people like now, like me, like? I like sci-fi beyond imagination."

Xu Fei dragged the small blackboard, "Moon base, right? In 2030, the Iron Sheet Company launched the Berlin carrier rocket and planned to build the first base on the moon. However, during the piling process, the computer suddenly detected a shock wave. After repeated experiments by the researchers, , found a shocking truth, the moon is hollow!

The TEP business alliance stole the news, launched the Boston spacecraft overnight, and dropped the ground-drilling robot to the moon. Unexpectedly, after five seconds, all high-tech equipment lost contact.

Just when countries all over the world were in shock, several large lumps suddenly bulged up on the surface of the moon, bunkers rose from the ground, and phalanxes made of robots quickly assembled...

Spaceships, flying saucers, and space battleships are densely packed, pointing directly at the parent star.

Humanity is at stake!
The mother star joint meeting called for all human beings to unite together, and various capital groups put aside their suspicions, and jointly launched mechanical exoskeletons, remote control board mechanical devices, anti-gravity aircraft, and prehistoric monster Kirov airships...

For a time, human civilization exploded with unimaginable power!
In the East, in West Asia, in Europe, in Ice Bear, in North America, in South America, hundreds of millions of human pioneers are ready to go!

Part one, end. "

"..."

"How about my story?"

"..."

"Of course, a movie must have a plot, protagonist, supporting role, heroine, and enemy leader, etc., as well as love, love, hatred, betrayal, conspiracy, including why the moon is hollow... I Send a call for papers to the Copywriting Department of TEP Vocational and Technical College, and it will be done within a week at most."

The director wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Director, your story is good, but we can't make it."

"How to say?"

"Too many areas are involved, which will inevitably increase the cost of scouting and prolong the shooting cycle, and so many legions, so many sci-fi weapons... How much special effects and model fees will it cost?"

Xu Fei heard the words, took out the globe, and listed the scenes on the paper, "East was filmed in Daze, West Asia was filmed by an acquaintance, Europe was filmed in Berlin, Ice Bear was filmed in an oil field, North America was filmed in Boston, South America was filmed in Jamaica , the filming team did not need to go there, someone from the local area took care of the shots.

As for the Legion...

Wait until winter, first build a moon base in the northwest corner of Daze, covered with models, that is the Lunar Legion.

The model is even simpler. The toy is made in advance, all in a metal style, and it is a square array. There are as many as you want. After shooting it, you can make a super shocking shot with a little adjustment in the later stage...

And, relying on the contacts of the factory director.

What kind of state manager, what kind of head of a capital group, we all play real people. "

"..."

"Don't believe me, when the time comes, let's go to the headquarters of the Mother Planet United Conference to take pictures, and then take a fight scene in the Empire State Building, then switch to Berlin, and then switch to London..."

When Xu Fei said this, he paused slightly, "By the way, I use the factory manager for everything, so what do you need?"

Director: "Director, I am familiar with studio work and can guarantee the quality of shooting."

"Well, you stay."

Producer: "Director, I am familiar with the production process..."

"Well, you stay too."

Director: "But, the investor?"

"Kick it, it's like I'm short of money."

Producer: "Actor?"

"We have so many strong and strong engineers, and so many North American bases..."

"North American base?!"

"You two know too much."

"..."

After half an hour.

The first part of 'The Earth Precarious-Earth Crisis' is officially approved and is expected to be released at the end of the year.

Iron Sheet Company bears all expenses, and the production cost will be disclosed later.

Xu Fei asked the secretary to lead the director and producer to go through the entry procedures, wait for the other party to leave, and pick up other scripts to look through.

Then I changed the aerospace industry and alien invasion into the second part of "Earth Crisis", all kinds of air battles.

Changed the expedition to the alien planet into the third part of "Earth Crisis", digging out the truth about the hollowness of the moon.

The directors and producers of these three scripts were then included.

Forget about the screenwriter, screenwriter Xu has watched a lot of movies, and some of them are classic scenes.

As for other scripts...

Director Xu is busy with affairs, so you have to take your time.

The next day.

Pupu arrives in Daze.

Seeing his disheveled hairstyle, Xu Fei suddenly remembered the few spring corns that the third secretary had brought back when he went to the countryside.

Pope: "..."

"Don't go, I really didn't mean to."

"You hurt me."

"I just think it's too similar."

"Actually, I feel quite similar, maybe I can endorse corn."

"Then I suggest you go to Texas. The corn over there is about to be harvested. Recently, my family has sold a lot of oversized harvesters."

"I endorse your harvester, wouldn't it be better?"

"Extremely honored."

As Xu Fei said, he took out various data reports of the Kirov airship, "Can you handle Niuyo Port?"

"No problem, Wall Street is not one. There are many people who are willing to cooperate with 'Renipfly' to invest in stocks. They all think that the Kirov airship belongs to the ship."

"How much PR did it cost?"

"One million dollars."

"Add the 2 million dollars I borrowed from you before, and I will give you 2.5 million dollars."

"Don't worry, I don't lack money for the time being."

"Okay, I'm short of money here, lend me another 2 million dollars."

"..."

"By the way, I'm planning to make a movie, and the subject matter is like this..."

"Oh! Damn, such a great sci-fi blockbuster, why don't you ask me to star in it?"

"You're at most a trick."

"No, your corn hurt me...Xu, I have a great suggestion."

"Say."

"I play the role of North American chief!"

"What do you ask Xiaobu to do?"

"He's campaigning and doesn't have time to make movies."

"Well, you appeared in the second part, and the first part is still Xiaobu."

"Yes!"

Three movies, three time points, no one can determine who will be the North American director in the future.

Let Pu Pu play the role, let's count it as a sci-fi prediction.

Xu Fei contacted the crew to settle the matter.

After chatting with Pupu for a long time, the latter collected the documents of the Kirov 1 cruise ship berthing in Niuyo Port, and followed Lou Xiaohu to the airport to experience the romance of the airship.

According to the plan, after the cruise ship No. 1 arrived in Simu, it diverted to Boston, loaded passengers, stayed at the Empire State Building for half an hour to attract tourists, and then went to Simu.

Then turn back to New York, dock at the Empire State Building, pick up the passengers who have snapped up tickets, and continue to the mud.

Pupu does not need to pay the "introduction fee" to the iron sheet company, and the iron sheet company does not need to pay the "parking fee" to Pupu. In general: win-win cooperation.

Of course, the other party's coming to Daze was not for this matter.

TEP is separated, and many businesses are independent, which need to be re-connected.

After Xu Fei checked the progress of the separation, he checked the time and went to the cafeteria to have a meal. He felt that the food had indeed improved after the rectification.

After returning to the office, there is nothing left and right, open the webpage and have a look.

With the end of the Smash Bros. World Championship, not only did the related reports not decrease, but there were more reports.

Some media disclosed the backgrounds of the top ten players.

Some media announced the whereabouts of the billion-dollar bonus.

Some media focus on the research of the third-generation aircraft.

Some media also accused the Iron Sheet Company of operating in the dark and questioned the results of the competition.

Of course, this is all media play.

It is still the same old saying: no controversy, no discussion.

Xu Fei even knew that the top 10 posts on the Souhu Forum, including certain high-traffic, stupid comments, were all directed and acted by internal employees.

Some even dared to scold the factory manager.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Xu Fei contacted the operator of Whoosh Fox, "I'll give you half a day to adjust the time."

"Factory manager, we don't do it, others do it. Now we are fighting for the number of clicks and the time spent on the page. We don't have heated discussions, but they do. Whether it's scolding or popular science, the more netizens type, the longer they stay. , if it goes on for a long time, all the people will go to their side.”

"That can't make a mess, you can rectify it first."

"Ok."

evening.

Xinlang and Yiwang were interviewed.

Subsequently, rectification was ordered, operations were suspended for two weeks, and a fine of 50 was imposed.

Zhang Chaoyang, who teaches at the TEP Vocational College, called and asked curiously, "Did you receive the internal news first?"

"No, I suggested it."

"..."

"Teach at ease, you don't understand business operations."

"..."

After Xu Fei had been in touch with Zhang Chaoyang for so long, he gradually understood why the other party gave up everything he had learned and went into business.

For example, the experimental methods of condensed matter physics include self-help solvent method, chemical vapor transport, optical floating zone method, high-pressure synthesis method, molecular beam epitaxy MBE, pulsed laser deposition PLD, and atomic layer deposition ALD.

To accomplish the above methods, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), scanning tunneling microscope (STM), electron beam exposure instrument, focused particle beam, photolithography machine, development, exposure, dry and wet etching equipment, etc. are required.

Affected by the 'arrangement' mechanism, there are no such things in China.

Therefore, the only two condensed matter experts in China who are about the same age as Zhang Chaoyang are currently mainly doing theory, and they are also teaching daily.

Thinking about it in the same situation, if Director Xu was admitted to the Department of Physics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, got a doctorate in high-energy physics, and ran back to China excitedly, determined to engage in scientific research and strengthen the motherland, but he was shocked to find that a smart woman can hardly cook without rice, What I have learned is useless, I can only teach as a teacher, what should I do?
Let's make money first...

"However, then again, the high-energy physics we chose seems to be even worse."

"As long as you have foreign exchange and connections, you can definitely get the technological equipment that people need, and the cost of testing is not high."

"And what we need are all super engineering, what kind of large-scale particle collider, what kind of large-scale astronomical observation platform, what kind of laser interference gravitational wave observatory, what kind of supercomputer..."

Xu Fei was thinking wildly while dealing with the affairs of various factories.

Wait until evening, walk out of the office, look up at the sky.

10 minute later.

Second Sister: "What are you doing?"

"Do you feel the pull?"

"No."

"Idiot, the reason why you stand on the parent star is because of the effect of gravity."

"Isn't it because of gravity?"

"There is no so-called gravity in the universe. Everything is just the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force. That's why we are standing here."

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

"I think maybe my brain is sick."

"Go home and sleep, don't read textbooks tomorrow."

"Okay second lady."

The next day.

Early in the morning, mechanical enthusiasts who were stranded in Daze Industrial Park to experience the third-generation machine suddenly let out bursts of exclamation.

Xu Fei was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, he picked up his mobile phone to check, there were more than a dozen missed calls from the secretary group.

Contact a reliable secretary first.

"Crooked, what's wrong?"

"Director, look quickly, the shark is deflated!"

"Ok?"

Xu Fei walked to the back balcony and looked towards the north of Daze.

I saw that the Kirov airship in the shape of a big shark turned into a flat thing at this moment, dragging the hanging basket below, and gliding quickly [-] meters above the ground.

The cheers came not only from the ground, but also from the passengers on the gondola, and the screams even surpassed the roller coaster.

[Kirov Airship No. 3: The ground effect flight mode has been turned on, the maximum flight altitude is 110 meters, and the maximum flight speed is 593km/h...]
"No wonder it needs to be overhauled once the ground effect flight mode is activated."

"It's all deflated, how can it lift into the air?"

Xu Fei hung up the phone, contacted Da Ma, told the other party not to play tricks, and quickly sent the employees to Sini.

Now it is the 11th, and there are only 4 days left before the Olympic opening ceremony.

Kirov's carrying capacity of 1000 tons has been added with technology support, and the data has increased by 20%.

Based on the maximum weight of each person, 200 catties, 1200 tons...

Even if the group sits in a small Maza, the three Kirov airships will have to run back and forth dozens of times.

Xu Fei got dressed and planned to go back to the office to study the arrangements for watching the Olympics together. When he walked into the workshop, he saw a black-haired, blue-eyed foreigner sitting in the living room with several Renault executives waiting.

"Zidane?!"
