Fang Yi has been in contact with people from science, education and culture. In order to shoot underwater scenes for the movie "Seventeen Again", he cooperated with a domestic deep-diving scientific research team and boarded the Jiaolong, creating a union between the cultural and scientific circles.
The first of its kind in publicity, the movie was sold overseas due to its excellent box office, which became one of Han Sanping's proud political achievements.
Many viewers remember that scene. They turned on the TV and thought it was an ordinary popular science program, until Fang Yi's face popped up on the TV:
"Viewers, we are in a trench three thousand meters below. The vehicle I am riding is called Jiaolong. Its current specific location is..."
After Fang Yi got out of the submarine, he took a picture of himself with a camera. The host of the live broadcast station Jing Yi was stunned for two or three seconds, but the tens of millions of viewers outside the venue did not notice it at the time because their reactions were exactly the same and they were stunned.
Researcher Wang, who cooperated with the publicity, received a promotion soon after. It is difficult to say whether it was related to this incident.
——The current group of people are very polite, like curious babies, asking questions here and there, and don't show much leadership style.
"We are here to solve your difficulties, not to add to them. We are making a special effects blockbuster, and there are so many people here, who can compare with your team, Director Fang."
"We have truly cultivated a production team with international standards, and it is a team recognized overseas."
One of them obviously had the highest official position, so Fang Yi said, "What difficulties do you have? We will respond truthfully."
Fang Yi said honestly: "We have no difficulties that need to be solved now. All the difficulties that need to be solved have been solved."
The inspection team thought there was a story to listen to: "Can you tell it more?"
Fang Yi talked about the "Yuba" thing and other trials and errors during the filming of the movie.
Twenty minutes have passed.
The biggest problem when shooting special effects films in non-Hollywood locations is that no one has planted trees before, so any inspiration the creator gets from watching Hollywood films may not be used.
Either you can't take pictures at all, or as a painter, you must first learn how to make paint and brushes.
Of course you can't, so you have to buy someone else's.
Fang Yi led the group of people to see various equipment on the set:
Sony cameras, Fumantu tripods, German ARRI dysprosium lamps, three-color lamps, American Zhanmei rockers...
The inspection team asked in frustration: “Isn’t there any domestic equipment?”
"There are some, too." Fang Yi joked casually, "Tables, chairs, teacups and teapots, growing grain and grinding it into flour, and making paper, but there are no airplanes, tanks, tractors..."
This is a great man's evaluation of domestic manufacturing capabilities in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Fang Yi quoted it, which means that the equipment of domestic crews is similar to that of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all truly hard-core things have to be made by foreigners.
"Oh, our monitor is made in China. In addition, I also bought a 35mm movie camera imitating Sony. It is said to be the first one made in China. But now that I bought it, I found that there is too little accessory support, so I can only put it aside temporarily..."
The inspection team was anxious, "Are there any other domestic ones?"
"We also have domestic creators, domestic stories, and many domestic audiences... Don't find it boring. This is indeed very important."
Someone saw a DJ drone. The thing could maintain balance when turning, so that the picture would not be damaged. But any expert could think of the technical difficulty and asked: "Which country is this made in?"
Fang Yi waved, and the drone flew into his hand under control, "What you see is the only filming equipment that can go overseas to generate income."
The inspection team was overjoyed, "Made in China?"
DJ actually wanted to pretend to be a foreign company for a while, but Fang Yi said firmly, "Made in China!"
Han Sanping then had an in-depth discussion with the leaders about the possibility of "overtaking in a corner" as a drone, saying that it could break through the situation until other technologies can be developed step by step.
——No one knows what will happen in ten years, so let’s just brag about it now.
If it does happen, I, Old Han, have the foresight to do it; if it doesn't happen, the people who come up behind will mess things up, and you can't rely on me.
At the beginning of this year, Shangfeng organized a team of experts to have an in-depth understanding and discussion of the local national conditions and developed a Manufacturing 2025 plan. The official program has not yet been fully launched and is in the draft stage, but people have already caught wind of it.
It aims to catch up with the world's advanced level in many aspects and no longer be controlled by others in ten years. It is rumored that there are five major projects, nine strategies and ten major fields... Unfortunately, the film industry has not been able to gain a major role in it.
In comparison, integrated circuits, medical devices, etc. are definitely much more important.
However, can’t our great outgoing Director Han find a bright spot?
Fang Yi's team is the bright spot. He represents a kind of wild hope that arises spontaneously among the people. Considering the freedom of creation, it may not be the best solution to let Fang Yi do it well.
However, some foreigners are trying to destroy our hopes and distort our heroic image.
In addition, it is impossible for such a powerful team and such a powerful person to stay away from home all the time. He is also an extremely successful young business leader and public figure. He cannot continue to be a reckless hero. He must be given an upright official status!
Vice Chairman of the Directors Guild?
Where is there enough of this kind of thing?
The community security guard asked you what kind of committee member you were? You said I was a member of a self-created pheasant association and got the position of vice chairman.
The security guard waved his hand and asked you to pay the parking fee quickly.
Fang Yi's ability to film a war drama like "I Come from the Future" won the praise of many anonymous third- and fourth-generation people who came to visit the studio. There is no doubt that Director Fang is a proven person and he is worthy of the contacts he has accumulated.
.
The final topic of the inspection team stopped at the Korean War - because "I Come from the Future" is a Korean War film.
Fang Yi concluded: "Shangganling is the power of people, but it is also the power of artillery. The military history professor of our crew once told me that on a position of 4 square kilometers, the US military consumed 1.9 million artillery shells and the volunteers consumed 450,000 artillery shells.
It even formed a local artillery advantage over the enemy in some counterattacks..."
"When we do propaganda, of course we must promote the spirit of fearlessness and sacrifice, but we ourselves should know that steel is indeed harder than humans."
Han Sanping couldn't help but applaud, "Okay! Good, good!"
"Fang Yi is our support artillery."
"Now that someone wants to slander him, everyone should see our attitude towards him."
Farewell to the delegation.
Han Sanping returned to the video studio after being away for a while.
Fang Yi thought that Han Sanping was taking credit: after leaving office, Old Han only had reputation but no real power. He had to find a way out for the rest of his life. In the future, he would rely on Fang Yi.
But Lao Han said, "This may be just the beginning."
Fang Yi was puzzled, "It's not over yet? I'm rushing back to Kuandian."
"Don't worry yet. There is a leader who once worked in the Ministry of Culture, focuses on external publicity, and also likes blockbuster movies. He may inspect your company... I'm just saying, it's possible."
