Courtyard light

Chapter 746 Chaos (first update)
Most Hollywood movies are popcorn movies, that is, the plots are tense and exciting, with killing all the way. There are emotions, but they are very direct, short and small, without any love triangles, love quadrangles or the like.

Westerners simply don't understand or are not interested in Eastern love triangles and love quadrangles.

Because the ways of expressing love in the East and the West are different, the West is more direct and the East is more implicit.

This results in many Westerners simply not being able to understand or comprehend it.

The father-in-law nodded, wrote down what Liu Hai said, and went back to find the screenwriter to make the changes quickly.

"Kung Fu still needs to achieve some practical effects, just like in the last movie when fists hit the ship, people would subconsciously shake their hands in pain. The leading actor did a good job last time."

"As for the performance of Kung Fu, you can listen more to the opinions of the last leading actor." Liu Hai said again.

After Liu Hai finished reading and speaking, the father-in-law took out a thick stack of information and asked, "What will the effect be if these actresses participate in the performance of Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Liu Hai picked up the information and took a closer look. Wow, it basically included all the young actresses from Taiwan and Hong Kong in the early 1980s. Most of them were in their teens and twenties, and there were also some who were a little older. After all, in addition to some girls, there were also some other people in Dream of Red Mansions.

"It's hard to say." Liu Hai didn't know what these actresses looked like in ancient costumes.

"Everything still depends on the director. I am not very familiar with these films." Although I know that these young actresses will achieve great success in the future, it does not mean that every actress is suitable for playing period costumes. Some actresses are not suitable for period costumes.

"Actually, you are too modest. It would probably be better if you were the one to shoot it." The father-in-law didn't believe what Liu Hai said. He said that he was not proficient in it and could only say that the four great classics were too broad.

"But you were right not to get involved. No matter how well a masterpiece like this is filmed, there will always be people who come out and make irresponsible comments."

"Besides, the four great classics themselves are somewhat controversial, which leads to controversy among the readership itself." The father-in-law nodded and agreed that Liu Hai should not get involved in this matter.

Liu Hai looked at the small-time female stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan in his hands, and thought that the cast might change drastically this time.

After all, the acceptance of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in Hong Kong and Taiwan and the small book version is also very high, plus they all have Asian faces, so many of the original people may be squeezed out.

But there's nothing we can do about it, and Liu Hai doesn't remember who the original cast was.

To be honest, I only remember a few of the main actors in Dream of the Red Chamber, but the group portrait was not portrayed very well.

I don’t know if it’s due to historical funding reasons or other reasons?

The same is true for Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In order to portray the characters well, this kind of historical drama needs to have sufficient storyline and scenes to support it, and both the storyline and scenes require money.

Although the filming of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was still very good, it did not capture the group image of the heroes rising up in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms well.

Of course, there was enough money this time, so we could spend more time shooting Romance of the Three Kingdoms to bring the historical figures to life.

"Let the director team choose these." Liu Hai took a quick look at the information and put it aside, trusting that his father-in-law would not give him any ugly ones.

"The filming of this Hurricane Rescue movie has been completed, and I will join the Three Kingdoms crew and find a role to play in it." The father-in-law nodded and told me his future plans.

"I have divided up all the properties in Hong Kong Island. After I finish shooting this film, I will retire."

Liu Hai nodded. As for how his father-in-law would divide his property, Liu Hai didn't ask at all.

It was already past nine o'clock when Liu Hai came out of his father-in-law's house. After looking at the time, he returned to the courtyard behind the maintenance department.

"She's back!" When Liu Hai saw his junior sister's car in the alley, he knew that she was back.

"Well, you didn't go home today?" Liu Hai asked while taking off his coat.

"There were a lot of things to do at the beginning of the year, and I worked overtime too late. Going back would only disturb my family." The junior sister explained.

"My father-in-law asked me out today, mainly because he wanted me to use the back door..." Liu Hai told him about what happened when he went to his father-in-law's place today.

"I really don't know what this Dream of Red Mansions will look like when it is filmed, but judging from the tone of voice and gestures of the people in the small notebook, will we be able to see through it at a glance when it is filmed?" The junior sister asked with great anticipation when she heard this.

"Actors are supposed to make a living by acting, so this kind of thing won't happen. Besides, it doesn't mean they will be confirmed to act, but they will be allowed to take the second round of auditions. We also need to see their performance and how the costumes look on them."

"Some people look good in normal times, but when they put on ancient costumes, they look funny," Liu Hai explained.

"So what do you think about me wearing a costume? Does it look good?"

"You will definitely look good in a costume. Do you want me to order you two sets of costumes to wear?"

"Forget it. Who would wear a costume at home for no reason?"

"Put it on and see if it fits. Besides, custom-made costumes are not cheap." Liu Hai was telling the truth.

Because the costumes for this filming were all made according to the standards of silk and satin at that time, each set of costumes was not cheap. Of course, the texture of this kind of clothing when worn on the body is definitely not comparable to ordinary fabrics.

"No." The junior sister always felt that there was some other meaning behind the senior brother asking her to wear a costume, but she didn't know what it meant.

Since the junior sister was unwilling, Liu Hai didn't say much, and the junior sister's drug research institute soon welcomed the inspection of the leaders of the higher authorities.

In late March 1982, the first assembled high bypass ratio turbofan engine officially rolled off the production line in the high bypass ratio engine workshop of Heshun Aircraft Manufacturing Company. All the parts of this engine were imported from Niuniu.

At the same time, the power department of the Dc10 aircraft manufacturing workshop of Heshun Aircraft Manufacturing Company also successfully assembled the first Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine.

Leaders of several major aerospace departments also attended the ceremony. Of course, the news report was very short, only 10 seconds.

Liu Hai did see the detailed report, but did not go there because, to be honest, the technical difficulty of assembling imported parts is not very high.

It would be interesting if we could produce all the parts ourselves and then assemble them.

Besides, Liu Hai is quite busy now, and he can't be distracted at all. He is working on the internal system construction of the No. 001 teaching building, the research and development of fighter jets, and the design of two models of flying motorcycles. Liu Hai is still concerned about the events at the southernmost tip of South America. As expected, just like in history, on the 19th, a group of scrap metal merchants hired by the Argentine authorities forcibly landed on South Georgia Island, 1390 kilometers east of the Falkland Islands, and set up a camp on South Georgia Island.

Then the Niu Niu Navy's Endurance icebreaker was dispatched to demolish the camp. The Endurance was armed with only two 2mm Oerlikon cannons, two Wasp helicopters, and a platoon of Marines to drive away the Afghans who were raising the national flag and singing the national anthem. However, the Afghan Navy's 20-ton "Happy Bay" had already landed 5000 soldiers, so the Endurance had to turn back.

Liu Hai knew that at the beginning of next month, the Afghan side would directly send military forces to attack the Falkland Islands.

The most interesting thing is that during this process, someone in the Western media actually called out South American affairs, and the South Americans made the decisions themselves.

This one is a bit embarrassing, because earlier, the Taurus had a quarrel with the Bald Eagle, and he shouted the slogan that Europeans should make their own decisions on European affairs, and he also threatened to withdraw from the North Atlantic.

Many protests have also broken out in South America, mainly against European countries that control the economic lifelines of these South American countries.

As for whether there is anyone taking money behind these protests, that is for sure.

Because although many South American countries have become independent in this era, their economies are still controlled by many European countries.

However, these European countries are now showing signs of being slow to respond, highly bureaucratic, and with no communication between diplomacy and the military.

In fact, long before this incident happened, the Afghan side had proposed to Niu Niu the idea of ​​taking back the Falkland Islands, but unfortunately Niu Niu's diplomacy did not seem to respond.

This caused some misunderstanding.

Sure enough, in early April 1982, Afghanistan sent troops to capture Stanley Port. It is said that these troops are very powerful and have special operations capabilities. They also landed at night with the help of night vision goggles and occupied the port, and also captured Niu Niu's troops.

Immediately afterwards, the Afghan side expanded the area of ​​occupation. When Niu Niu heard the news, he sent a diplomatic note to the Afghan side.

But how can you spit out the fat meat that is already in your mouth?

"Something seems to be wrong!" The information Liu Hai could see was very limited. After all, the incident happened in South America and on an island. However, according to the news, it seemed that the Argentine side occupied more places in this time and space than in history.

But thinking about the bald eagle causing trouble behind the scenes, he must give Niu Niu a loud slap in the face.

Moreover, the Bald Eagle had a very good plan. As long as the Afghans occupied the Falkland Islands and came into conflict with the Niu Niu, the Afghans would have to rely on themselves, otherwise the Afghans alone would definitely not be able to resist the Niu Niu.

Niu Niu was furious at the time and dispatched the HMS Wales, a new 8-ton aircraft carrier, to form an aircraft carrier fleet and head directly to the area of ​​the incident.

You have to know that the economy during this period was much better than in history. Not only did it have two 8-ton aircraft carriers, but it also had various types of surface ships. Two more aircraft carriers were under construction, with a displacement of more than 8 tons.

Niu Niu's reaction was also within Liu Hai's expectations. Niu Niu and his men seemed to be dismissive of the A side because the gap in military strength was too big.

However, in late April, Niu Niu was slapped hard in the face.

Around April 4, Niu Niu's aircraft carrier fleet prepared to recapture South Georgia Island first.

Niu Niu just announced that a certain area around the island will be designated as a restricted zone, and all foreign ships are prohibited from entering.

Then the next second, they were attacked by flying motorcycles released from the island. The number of this wave of flying motorcycles reached more than 800.

Niu Niu's HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier was hit before it could make its debut, and these flying motorcycles were carrying not only TNT explosives, but also napalm bombs.

A flying motorcycle directly hit the island of the aircraft carrier. What's more, it was a napalm bomb, which paralyzed the electronic system of the aircraft carrier.

Although the aircraft carrier formation also had more than a dozen destroyers of various sizes, and more than 800 flying motorcycles intercepted more than 500 of them, there were still more than 200 left that hit various ships.

In other words, the submarines following the aircraft carrier formation did not come under attack.

The aircraft carrier's electronic system was paralyzed, making it impossible for fighter jets to take off and land, and the deck was also attacked. Although the deck can be repaired quickly, it will take at least three months to assess and repair the damage to the electronic system.

So Niu Niu's fleet fired everything they could at the island, and then began to evacuate to Aksom Island on the west coast of Africa.

"These guys in Europe are pretty shameless." Sun Aiguo said as he watched Liu Hai reading the information.

When Liu Hai saw this information, it was already early May, and at this time Niu Niu's second aircraft carrier fleet had already set off.

During this period, Niu Niu mobilized many fleets to block all of Afghanistan's trade routes.

At the same time, Niu Niu also formed a joint law enforcement fleet with a group of European countries that have interests in South America.

The main purpose of this joint law enforcement fleet is to block Afghanistan’s maritime trade routes.

They said they were maintaining peace in South America, but as for which country made the flying motorcycles that attacked the fleet, it was discovered that everything on them was made in multiple countries. The engine was from a certain big country in the East, the active radar was from Gaul, the inertial guidance was from Taurus, the fuselage material was also from some country in the East, and the only formula for the napalm bomb was from Bald Eagle.

The Niuniu dealers, who originally had great influence in South America, seemed to play no role in this incident.

Anyway, the commander of the first aircraft carrier fleet, as well as all the officers at all levels, were dismissed and awaiting investigation.

The main purpose of the investigation is to investigate whether the fleet had a response plan when approaching enemy targets and why it did not send enough fighter jets and helicopters for reconnaissance in advance.

"Countries like Spain also have interests over there. If Niu Niu fails this time, they will lose more, so it is natural for them to form a joint law enforcement fleet." Liu Hai is no longer surprised by these guys in Europe working together to bully others.

"What do you think will happen to the second aircraft carrier fleet?" Sun Aiguo asked Liu Hai after hearing this.

"It's hard to judge, because it's hard to tell whether the news is true or false." Liu Hai had no idea what would happen. After all, it was too different from history, and the information he had now was not 10% complete.

No one can tell exactly how much damage the Niu Niu's first aircraft carrier fleet suffered, except themselves.

"It's good this way. If the bald eagle wants to pass through our territory in the future, it will have to keep its tail between its legs." Sun Aiguo nodded when he heard this and said with a chuckle.
