Since 1983

Shencheng, Lianhua Village.

In an old private house, Wang Tao looked confused.

He is a graduate student of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. With the help of his teachers and friends, he set up a small company, specializing in the research of helicopter flight control systems, and also took over the business of assembling complete aircraft.

This assembly refers to the drone.

That's right, it's DJI!

In the early days of Dajiang's business, it was impossible to recruit outstanding talents. When people saw that it was a small workshop, they turned around and left.

Wang Tao is not good at management, and the internal chaos is very chaotic. Some employees seek refuge with partners, some sell company assets online, and some secretly sell pirated flight controllers with internal employees after resignation...

In 2008, DJI launched the helicopter flight control system XP3.1, and developed the first automated electric drone EH-1, which went to Wenchuan to collect image data.

In 12 years later, a multi-rotor product "Elf" was created, which was discovered by an American and introduced to the North American market. It was unexpectedly sought after, and then began to skyrocket.

But now, Wang Tao is still a fresh and hard-working entrepreneur.

At this moment, with some doubts, nervousness and inexplicability, he heard from Barabara, to the effect that he was very optimistic about his research project and was willing to invest.

Of course you can invest!

Wang Tao didn't know much about this aspect, but he was also cautious. He didn't agree on the spot, but the other party made another request.

"Can you first develop a drone that is specially used for the Olympic opening ceremony and only performs performances?"

"Special opening ceremony?"

He was taken aback, and the other party explained: "This is not a necessary condition, you can take it as a goal. It is the best to do it, if there is a chance to succeed, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed, then you don't succeed.

After all, the opening ceremony must ensure that nothing goes wrong. "

He asked about the specifics, and the other party said it was a drone light show, Barabara.

After thinking about it, Wang Tao first had to be a quadrotor UAV, and then required its flight control system, positioning system, communication system, etc., which was very difficult.

It's unlikely to happen in just two years.

But the other party's creative spirit, I like it very much, and he is a very thoughtful capitalist.

The two chatted happily, and finally signed a confidentiality contract, and Wang Tao could not disclose whether the drone was on or off.

…………

At the same time that DJI was settled, Mr. Xu was investigating all over the country.

In the history of opening ceremonies, because the plan came out too late, the subsequent series were rushed. Now he is preparing in advance, such as inspecting domestic powerful LED manufacturers...

Props for the opening ceremony will be made through public bidding.

According to the official requirements, the company will come up with a plan and budget, and the two parties can sign the contract if they think it is suitable.

Now that the idea has not come out, Xu Fei can only investigate.

There is a lot of content that needs to be perfected, like Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi who sang "Singing the Motherland". Objectively speaking, although Ms. Lin was disliked when she grew up, she was innocent when she was a child.

That was decided by the team, not by her.

And Xu Fei didn't believe that there was no second good-looking little girl who could sing in the whole country? Do you have to fake it? ? ?

August.

Teacher Xu led the creative team from the capital, first to Hohhot, and then to Daqingshan by off-road vehicle.

Daqing Mountain, known as Heishan in ancient times, is at the middle foot of Yin Mountain. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, six towns were concentrated here, and they fought against Rouran at the northern foot of Heishan for years, and Mulan joined the army here.

"Once I leave the Yellow River, I stay on the top of the Black Mountain at night. I don't hear the voice of my mother calling for a girl, but I hear the chirping of Hu Qi in Yanshan Mountain."

A group of people got out of the car, only to see that the set had become a Northern Wei military camp, and an army composed of armed police officers and soldiers was taking a lunch break. There was another modern tent, and a person had just pulled out the curtain.

Xu Fei took a look, yo, it is the international chapter of playing the middle-aged Mary Su.

Acting as a girl at the age of forty is not the right way!

She should act as a queen mother with cubs, dealing with the powerful officials in the court, born a king of the sea, with exquisite faces, stepping on the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood to rule the world step by step.

This way is right.

"Teacher Xu, Director Zhang is inside."

"Well, how did it go?"

Disgruntled, the international chapter of the soldier's dress is satisfied: "It's all good, I like this version of Mulan so much, it's different from the previous ones."

"Oh, come on then!"

After saying a few words about the international chapter, Chaoge was very interested and asked, "Zhang Ziyi plays Mulan, who is the leading actor?"

"No."

"ah?"

"A movie called "Mulan", why does it have a male protagonist? Are you in a relationship?"

"Then there must be a few male characters to match?"

"They're all dead. In war, it's inevitable that people will die."

"..."

Chaoge shrugged, speechless.

"Golden Armor" is gone, this is Zhang Guoshi's new film "Mulan", which is scheduled to be released in 2007.

The story of Mulan joining the army is familiar, but for a long time, there were not many related movies. In 2009, Zhao Feite acted in a film, the hero Chen Kun, and the director Ma Chucheng.

Just shoot "Star Wish" and "Tokyo Raiders".

The standard is mediocre, the editing is messy, and it's a bloody romance film dressed in Mulan skin.

Later, with the rise of the Internet, there were a few bad movies, and then there was Liu Tianxian's work that collapsed in word-of-mouth, the vindictive beautiful girl who claimed to have invested 200 million US dollars.

To be honest, this kind of subject matter has to be filmed domestically, but it is a pity that I have not been able to grasp the essence, and I will die if I fall in love! Can die! Can die!

Mulan joined the army in place of her father as a filial piety.

To fight the enemy is to be loyal.

Later, "the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned after ten years." "Khan asked what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need Shang Shulang. She would like to travel thousands of miles to send her son back to her hometown."

It has already shown Mulan's growth, ability, and character, as well as the charm of being disarmed and returning to the field, and restoring her daughter's body with unlimited room for development.

In fact, "The Song of Mulan" itself is very good.

There is a small film that is really good, Ni Hongjie's version of "Mulan" in "Actors Please Take Your Place 2", especially when the moon comes out at the end...

Xu Fei didn't take much part in it, he just pointed out the script, it must not be made into a romance movie!

After entering the tent, Zhang Guoshi ate inside.

"Director Zhang, we are here to disturb you."

"It's okay, it's fine on my side!"

Zhang Guoshi got up quickly, shook hands: "As soon as I was free, I was thinking of a plan. If you are not tired, let's have a meeting right away."

Everyone was very curious when they came to the set for the first time, but they sat around immediately when they were not visiting.

The currently established programs include the initial welcome ceremony, countdown, firework show, display of the five rings, and flag raising ceremony. Don't think about it, there must be one.

As for the official part, now there is only a "and" thought performance, a Silk Road performance.

Just like the Asian Games back then, there is also a program and a director team. Then Zhang Jigang was in charge of the classical Chinese part in the first half, and Chen Weiya was in charge of the modern part in the second half.

Zhang Guoshi coordinated the overall situation.

"The idea of ​​big footprints is very good. In 2008, it was the 29th session. We made 29 big footprints, walked along the central axis of the capital, and finally landed in the Bird's Nest.

It not only embodies the Olympics, but also embodies the hard work of our Olympic bid.

If there is no opinion on this, we will settle it? "

Zhang Guoshi asked, most people nodded, Cai Guoqiang said: "This can be done with fireworks, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to shoot."

"Yes, you have to use a helicopter. You have to show all perspectives, and you have to consider the issue of air traffic control." Zhang Jigang said.

"Let's try it first, I'll arrange it, Lao Cai, get ready."

Xu Fei spoke, Cai Guoqiang nodded, and this program will not be mentioned again.

Then, Zhang Guoshi asked a director of the editorial team: "I didn't understand what you said on the phone about removing the blackboard, what do you mean?"

"One day when I was cleaning the blackboard, I found that it couldn't be wiped off. I saw that the film hadn't been peeled off. When I removed the film, my head froze. Do you think this will work?

Let's make the five rings look like a carpet, and lay them on the ground first..."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Guoshi slapped his hands and understood: "Pull it off the ground again, this is good!"

He paused, and said: "It can still connect with the big footprints. The last big footprint is above the bird's nest, turning into stars and converging on the ground to form five rings."

"Well, this is not bad!"

"Ok, Ok!"

The atmosphere was instantly heated, and there was no objection, and the discussion followed the train of thought.

"If the whole venue is brightly lit and the five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red rise up, it will be silly. The Olympic Organizing Committee does not require that colors be displayed, and we have to consider visual effects."

"Then turn off the lights, the five rings are on!"

"How bright, install a light bulb?"

"What kind of high-tech light bulb is called, LED!"

In 2000, LEDs were used in indoor lighting, but they were not popularized on a large scale.

"LED is OK, I will arrange it." Someone said.

"You arranged again?" Zhang Guoshi laughed.

"It's still the same sentence, just think about it, let's try it first if you think about it or not."

Teacher Xu said: "And when it comes to high technology, I also have an idea. When the big footprints turn into stars and fall down, can they be combined with drone performances?"

"Drones?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which was even more unfamiliar.

"Probably that's what it means."

Xu Fei got up and drew some renderings on the blackboard: "The initial idea, I have to follow up to see if it can be realized."

In history, when the five rings rose, more than 20 actresses were found, wearing lights on their bodies, flying around in pitch black.

Of course it was beautiful, but he wanted to try something different.

With teacher Xu's urging, the process was unknowingly much faster. Zhang Guoshi has not used "painting scroll" yet, but thought of "paper".

He believes that paper is the carrier of Chinese civilization, and with this as the core, it carries the whole performance.

It is also an LED screen on the floor, like a book, and then one page is opened, and this page is also a display... It is much more difficult than a scroll!

Because it is not so big, so thin, and has a curved LED screen.

Xu Fei didn't interrupt and let them discuss.

The meeting was held intermittently for three days, and this group of people also took the opportunity to watch the filming of the crew.

According to the trajectory, in March next year, the opening ceremony plan will be reported to the big leaders. He didn't want to be called back again, he had to go over the whole thing, and the details could be modified.

After that, it is necessary to arrange the program, then rehearse, select people from all over the country, and convince them, that is a big project.

Xu Fei is going to let some of his elites bid for bids, such as the logistics company of the film and television city, the makeup of Yang Shuyun and Mao Geping, the costume design of Li Jianqun, etc...

As for movies, his eyes are no longer on specific works, and he has been sneaking around recently, busy buying Golden Harvest.
