On the last page of the storyboard, a group of white peace doves spread their wings and flew into the blue sky and white clouds.
"This piece of blue sky is where they once flew."
Bang, bang, two tears fell on the storybook.
"Ouch~"
"Hey, hurry up..."
Run Run Shaw and Huang Zhan hurriedly took out paper towels and carefully wiped the storybook.
"Let's not talk about anything else,"
Run Run Shaw picked it up again and looked at it carefully: "I like this storyboard very much."
Huang Zhan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Before that, he had already read these two storyboards.
"Then which one are you going to keep, Uncle Six?"
Huang Zhan asked with a smile: "Is it this one or the other one called "Music and Peace"?"
"What about this...?"
This question happens to be what Run Run Shaw is struggling with.
It's obvious that he wants both.
But just before reading the script, Huang Zhan had already told him: Choose one of the two.
Therefore, when watching the two scripts later, Run Run Shaw had already compared them in her mind at the same time.
I have to say that the drama of the Anglo-German World War II in "Music and Peace" is very dramatic in itself.
But this drama is actually adapted from real events.
What do these elements combined together mean?
It was the ratings that made his eyes shine.
By the way, it can also improve TVB’s overseas perspective.
As for the second book, let alone the Second World War that took place in China.
No matter how touching the history of other countries is, it is not as profound as the history of our own people.
This innate feeling of family and country can be fully embodied in just one picture.
What Run Run Shaw didn't expect was that the screenwriter named Jiang Shan actually presented the script directly in storyboards.
How could he withstand the combined impact of words and images?
What does it mean to be unable to put it down? It means that you won’t let go of something good after you get it!
"I finally got a heart-stirring script, how could I let it go so easily,"
Run Run Shaw patted the script on her knees: "Shoot, we must shoot it."
"So, you're going to keep this pilot?"
It was just as he expected. Huang Zhan stretched out his hand to take back another copy.
"do not move,"
It's a pity that Run Run Shaw didn't give him a chance:
"You can help me go back and ask the screenwriter if he can keep both scripts. As for the royalties...you need to ask him what he wants first."
…
The next morning, not long after he walked into the newspaper office, Jiang Shan received a call from Xiangjiang.
Huang Zhan on the other end of the phone, without saying anything else, thanked Jiangshan for a long time for the advertisement of China Southern Commercial Bank.
After that, the topic turned to anti-war public service announcements.
"They want both?"
"Jiang Sheng, you don't need to look at my face. If you have any requests, just ask. I'll go talk to the TV station."
"..."
Jiang Shan, who was holding the phone, was not in a hurry to talk.
It seems that the previously negotiated 200,000 royalties have been confirmed.
Then... After thinking back and forth for a while, Jiang Shan simply said:
"Since TVB liked it so much, I gave them both scripts."
"Give them both? Both?"
"Um!"
"If you do this, Uncle Six will definitely remember your favor!"
"But there is one thing you have to keep an eye on for me. You must ensure the shooting quality of the script."
"You can rest assured about this. Uncle Six will follow up personally. In addition, we, Huang Yulin, have prepared one for Jiang Shengqi..."
"Since we are all friends, we should take care of each other, so I will waive the red envelope."
From Jiang Shan's point of view, if you lay down some worldly favors at the right time, they might come in handy one day.
…
"This blue sky is where they once flew" is about the heroic deeds of Chinese pilots during the Anti-Japanese War.
Jiang Shan adopts the method of telling stories in a straightforward manner.
Coupled with the prototype characters' respective home letters, catchphrases, and pre-war messages...
The tragic history of "war has no mercy" is packaged and delivered to the audience.
We must ensure that people in peaceful times know that there once was such a group of people under the same blue sky and white clouds.
No one may remember their names, but their choices should always be remembered.
At the end of the script, Jiang Shan's brush brought all the lost lives back to life.
Speaking of which, this should be the ending that everyone wants to see.
But it is such a beautiful picture that makes the viewer even more heartbroken.
Because everyone knows that it will never be possible!
Unless... the war never came.
The purpose of the "anti-war public service announcement" is achieved here.
…
Film and television dramas about China Aviation School were filmed in Taiwan, Xiangjiang, and mainland China.
"The Lady on Fire" from Xiangjiang, "The Legend of the Heroes of Jianqiao" from Taiwan, and "The Flying Eagle Away", "Wonderless West and East", "Leaning on the Railing"...
All of them are film and television dramas adapted from real-life prototypes of aviation school students.
But no matter which drama it is, one key point is ignored - Zhonghang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.
It is precisely this aircraft manufacturer that is the top priority.
Zhonghang Airport is just across the wall from the Central Aviation School.
The aircraft will be manufactured and assembled in the factory shed and pushed to the runway of the aviation school.
Then, after a successful test flight by instructors from the aviation school, it will be delivered directly to the Air Force for use.
The Hawker-3 fighter jet flown by Gao Zhihang, one of the "Four King Kongs" of the aviation school, was produced and assembled here.
In 1934, Zhonghang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was officially put into operation.
It is China's early, largest and most technologically advanced aircraft manufacturer.
The internal facilities at that time were very foreign-style in later generations.
There are not only multi-story villas for employees to live in, swimming pools and leisure clubs.
There are also hospitals, kindergartens and primary schools.
All employee apartments are equipped with private bathrooms, telephones, and heating.
Unfortunately, Zhonghang Aircraft Factory only existed for 8 years.
Zhonghang aircraft, which have been subjected to heavy bombing by Japanese aircraft,
Even though it was later moved to Yunnan on the China-Myanmar border, it still could not withstand the crazy bombing of the Japanese army.
In desperation, he had no choice but to blow himself up.
But there are not a few senior engineers who have come out of this manufacturing plant.
The most outstanding one among them is Mr. Qian’s mentor, Assistant Professor Wang, known as the “Father of Boeing”.
To this day, who can imagine.
The first chief engineer of Boeing, a century-old enterprise that can operate in the three major fields of civil, military aviation and aerospace, was actually a Chinese named Wang Zhu.
When he was 16 years old, Wang Zhu, who had been extremely smart since he was a child and had excellent academic performance, was sent to study in England at public expense.
After arriving in England, Wang Zhu studied at Armstrong Naval University.
There, he was exposed to the profession of aircraft manufacturing for the first time, which started his aviation career.
When World War I broke out, Wang Zhu transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States to study aerospace engineering.
At that time, there were very few Chinese people who could study abroad.
This inevitably makes Wang Zhu somewhat lonely and helpless.
The most terrifying thing is that the whole world was laughing at the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Words such as backward and ignorant have become exclusive adjectives.
Wang Zhu, who was among them, naturally suffered a lot of ridicule and looks.
After learning from the pain, Wang Zhu forced himself to calm down.
I decided to ignore things outside the window from now on and focus on learning aviation knowledge.
Keep your head down and study unswervingly, just so that you can hold your head high and be a good person in the future.
On the way to school, he studied while others were studying, and he studied when others took a break.
When others went home for the holidays, he went to an aircraft manufacturer to intern and study aircraft parts.
I often stay in the factory for the whole day.
After studying hard, Wang Zhu finally successfully completed his studies at MIT and successfully obtained a master's degree in aviation.
Speaking of which, this is also the first time a Chinese has obtained a master's degree in aviation.
At this time, a space equipment company named Pacific Ocean appeared in front of Wang Zhu.
As World War I had begun, Westover, one of the founders of the company, was preparing to leave the company and go to the battlefield.
Before leaving, he recommended his classmate Wang Zhu, a top student at MIT, to William Boeing, another founder of the company.
In this way, Wang Zhu became Boeing's first chief engineer.
What is unexpected is that the company that was already on the verge of death actually came back to life in the hands of Wang Zhu.
After detailed investigation, Wang Zhu made effective improvements and adjustments to the seaplane developed earlier by the company.
A new seaplane with double pontoons and double wings was developed.
The excellent performance of the new aircraft has completely pushed the seaplanes, which could only be used for performances before, to the historical advancement of practical aircraft.
Soon, the new seaplane that passed military testing allowed Boeing to obtain an order for fifty aircraft from the U.S. military.
It was this timely donation of US$570,000 that allowed Boeing, which was already preparing to pack its baggage, to come back to life.
With just this single product on the shelves, Boeing has become a leader in the aviation equipment industry.
Although Boeing, a dominant company in the future, has always engraved Wang Zhu's name on the home page of its aerospace history.
But it didn't hinder them at all from guarding and isolating Mr. Wang.
Even though what he held in his hands was Gong Wang's design drawings, he was still blocked at the door of the laboratory at the last critical moment.
Faced with such oppression and injustice, Wang Zhu simply gave up and returned to his country.
Wang Zhu returned to his motherland and quickly applied to the Beiyang government to build an airport.
Under the leadership of Wang Zhu, the Aircraft Research Institute successfully manufactured the first medium bomber in Chinese history.
China's aerospace industry is in its infancy, and having Wang's help is tantamount to having divine help.
The flowing water does not compete to be first, but it flows in an endless stream.
Wang Zhu, who was watching the storm outside, not only studied aircraft manufacturing day and night,
It also recommended to the government to cultivate talents for aircraft manufacturing and develop the air force at the same time.
Make adequate preparations for any war that may break out in the future.
In 1934, Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu, the founders of the "two bombs and one satellite", and Xu Shunshou, the "father of aircraft design of the Republic", successively went to Zhonghang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory for internship.
Wang Zhu, who was the first chief engineer of Zhonghang Factory at that time, imparted all kinds of aviation knowledge to them without reservation.
After the internship, Wang Zhu also wrote a letter in his own name to recommend Mr. Qian to his MIT mentor.
Later, when the other party was under house arrest in the United States and unable to return to the country.
Engineer Wang was very anxious and tried his best to help this "intern".
It helped Mr. Qian return home smoothly and solved a lot of troubles.
When looking back in his later years, Mr. Qian was still very grateful to him as a trainee teacher.
And listed him as one of the 17 ancestors who had a profound impact on him.
Master of aviation, aircraft manufacturer, fighter plane, pilot, Chinese Air Force, father of missiles...
It was these indispensable interlocking links that led to the Chinese Air Force’s rapid growth.
…
"Good luck today, I caught two chickens alive, I caught two chickens alive..."
Because this afternoon, Jiang Xiangnan will go to the city for a meeting and study on behalf of the Second Clothing Factory.
The task of picking up Xiaobai after school was given to activist Jiang Shan.
At this moment, in the Delica van, the third uncle was singing and laughing with Jiang Xiaobai behind him.
The little bun standing in the back row put his hands tightly on his third uncle's shoulders.
I was shaking my head and swaying my head, not to mention how happy I was singing.
"Go and find Old Bear, let's eat chicken together. The chicken is delicious and delicious. I'll make sure he's satisfied."
"What's that last sentence?"
At this point in the song, Uncle San and Xiao Bai paused for a moment:
"Hahahahaha, keep it satisfied!"
"Yeah~"
"Uncle San," after singing the song, Little Baozi spent a lot of effort: "I want to eat chicken."
"Want to eat chicken?" Jiang Shan looked around:
"It's not ready-made for sale. Let's do this. When we arrive at the gate of your sister's school, my third uncle will buy you whatever you want to eat."
What can be found at the gate of a primary school in this era?
If it were summer, you would still see two bicycles pushing a refrigerator.
At this point, all I could see was a self-employed person selling syrup.
After picking up Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Shan, who was carrying a small schoolbag, led his two children and squeezed into the stall selling glutinous rice flour.
Not to mention, just smelling it is enough to make you greedy.
Don't look at Xiaoyu and Xiaobai. They often eat the good things brought back by their third uncle.
He would still stare expectantly at the wooden turntable on the stall.
I drew a circle with various patterns on the turntable, and it looked like something extraordinary.
Jiang Shan looked at the folk artists like himself and said, "How much does it cost to play once?"
"5 points." The boss, who was busy working, looked unusual.
"Here, two cents,"
The third uncle generously handed out two cents. Under the expectant eyes of Xiaoyu and Xiaobai, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go first."
After Jiang Shan quickly turned the axis, no matter whether the children around him knew him or not, they were all staring at the axis nervously.
"Peacock, peacock,"
Jiang Xiaoyu has long been interested in the peacock icon: "Peacock, peacock..."
"Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong..." Jiang Xiaobai wanted a Monkey King.
As a result, the third uncle transferred this one:
"Mouse~"
"Hahaha, it took me a long time to turn around and it turned out to be a mouse."
"Just move a little further and you'll see the dragon."
"You should turn softly."
The children watching the excitement around him began to point out the situation.
After the next two cents were transferred four times, neither child was transferred to their own Peacock and Monkey King.
"Comrade, I don't want to change anymore. How much does it cost to buy a peacock and the Monkey King?"
Finally, in full view.
The smiling Xiaoyu and Xiaobai each held up a huge amber candy painting.
Even Jiang Shan's hand was holding an oversized mouse.
"Let's go with Third Uncle to the train station to pick up Grandpa Yongyu..."
