Chapter 261 Arrangements for Gong Xue (asking for monthly tickets)
"Is that Kou Kuige the Peking University student who wrote "On the Economic Center of Annan"? "
The old leader became interested when he heard the familiar name and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it was him. The economic strategy he proposed provided the General Staff with a lot of new operational directions."
"From this, many real and fake battle plans were planned, causing Annan to suffer a great loss."
"Later, the General Staff wanted to transfer Kou Kuige there, but they didn't expect the General Political Department to refuse to let him go, and transferred Kou Kuige's relationship to the General Political Department in advance."
"But later the General Staff also found out that although the article was written by Kou Kuige, the one who came up with the idea was Li Changhe!"
"This guy is a talent. He is good at both literature and martial arts. He is not only a well-known writer, but also has first-class vision and insight."
"At that time, the General Staff gave up on Kou Kuige. In fact, they wanted to reserve him in advance and recruit him after graduation, but they gave up in the end!"
“Why did you give up?”
The old chief asked curiously.
The leader shook his head helplessly and said, "Just tell the higher-ups. That guy has already been under their attention. No one can touch his organizational relationship before he graduates."
"Oh, so awesome."
"Mantang, your nephew is incredible!"
"So, in fact, whether it's the idea of Annan's article or the direction of your upgrade as a scout, it was he who proposed it?"
"Correct!"
Liu Mantang nodded, a smug look on his face.
He treated Li Changhe as his own nephew. Since his nephew was so capable, he, as his uncle, naturally felt proud of him.
"It seems that this young man is indeed extraordinary. Let's take a look at it again."
"Speaking of which, I was so engrossed in the movie just now that I actually forgot the purpose of our visit."
"But if our scouts are like the protagonist in the film, able to appear and disappear in the jungle at will, then their combat effectiveness will be unimaginable."
"Come on, watch it again. This time, let's take our time!"
As the old leader spoke, the projectionist at the back started playing the film again.
This time, several military district leaders did not pay attention to the plot, but instead focused on the methods used by the protagonist.
"Mantang, are you saying that many of the traps and methods of defending against poison here are real?"
"Yes, the crew invited several old hunters and some agronomists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Some of them were taught on the spot, and some were lost skills that were beautified in the movie."
"But there are so many mountain hunters across the country, and many hunters with unique skills can always be found."
Liu Mantang said confidently at this time.
The old chief nodded.
When watching another clip later, a leader frowned.
"Can the rats and snakes in this jungle really be eaten? And are they roasted and eaten?"
Although they had experienced harsh environments and had eaten grass roots and tree bark, there was nothing they could do about it.
It's nothing like in the movies, where you can eat right on the spot.
"We have also asked experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences about this. Theoretically, everything can be eaten raw, as long as the external parts are removed, such as the parasites under the snake's skin!"
"There are also some insects that are high in protein. Jiang Yuan and I found some insect eggs and snakes based on the experts' advice and tried eating them raw. I think the taste is okay."
Liu Mantang is a ruthless man. He has already put it into practice before the troops even start training.
Several leaders looked at him in surprise, but Liu Mantang said nonchalantly, "Actually, if conditions permit, we can roast it over a fire."
“Some of them taste pretty good when they’re grilled, with a chicken flavor and a crispy texture!”
"Eating raw food is only used for survival in the wilderness under extreme circumstances. In fact, foreign troops usually use compressed biscuits as food, but we currently cannot provide such food in large quantities, so we can only live off the land and water."
Liu Mantang has also put a lot of effort into studying this idea, and now it is no longer just empty talk.
After listening to this, the old leader nodded thoughtfully.
"That makes sense. We can't force our soldiers to eat these, but we must master the necessary knowledge."
"My old squad leader also boiled tree roots and soil together when he crossed the grassland."
"Speaking of which, this is also our fine tradition. What is hardship? Our soldiers are least afraid of hardship."
"I think this is a good idea. If it is successful, it will be like a tiger in the jungle or a dragon in the water."
“I think this idea is worth a try!”
The old leader said seriously at this time.
The other leaders also nodded, mainly because they saw the feasibility of each of them from the protagonist of the movie.
The enemy-enemy confrontation shown in the film is not too distorted. It is simply a confrontation between an experienced jungle hunter and a group of powerful scouts.
The other side used various traps, disguises, poisoning, swimming and other means to completely kill an entire team of scouts.
This is just one person. If it is a team of people working together, how lethal will it be?
Through the performance of the movie, we can see that several leaders have certain considerations in their hearts.
"Well, you can select a group of people from your reconnaissance battalion and try to find a suitable training method based on this idea."
"But remember, don't joke with the lives of our soldiers, just like you guys eat those snakes and insects raw, don't try it rashly, it's best to find an expert and a military doctor to watch, understand?" "Understood, commander, don't worry!"
Hearing that his plan could finally be implemented, Liu Mantang immediately spoke confidently.
He remembered that Li Changhe said that this upgraded scout could independently implement new combat tactics and would no longer be limited to reconnaissance roles, which were called special operations.
However, that is a tactical issue and they are not considering it now. Their current idea is to "upgrade" their brothers first.
After the upgrade is completed, I will talk to Changhe about what special operations are.
In the following week, Li Changhe continued to go to school safely, but at the Beijing Film Studio, Director Wang Yang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
The reason is very simple. Copies of "Jungle Gun King" are selling like hot cakes.
As soon as the movie was released, word of mouth spread quickly within just a few days, mainly because the general public had never seen such an entertaining movie that combined various elements.
Especially the exciting fighting moves, which are completely different from the previous rigid gun-point fighting style.
And this kind of personal heroism movie is actually what many young people desire nowadays.
Many people called their friends and watched the movie once, twice, or even three times in the cinema.
Many cinemas have to continue purchasing copies from China Film and adding screening halls to meet the public's enthusiasm for watching movies.
In just one week, China Film Corporation has sold nearly 150 copies, and it is said that many theaters across the country are requesting additional copies.
Wang Yang can already predict that the number of viewers of this movie may catch up with or even exceed that of "The Gunfire of the Secret Service".
"This time, I wonder what those bastards at China Film Group can say. We've had two hit movies in a row, and they've still given us so little money. This time, I'm going to make them spit out some of it."
In the office, Wang Yang said proudly to several directors.
Several directors looked at Ling Zifeng at this moment: "Old Ling made a profit this time. This Li Changhe is really a talent."
"First it was The Letter, then The King of Guns, both of which were huge hits."
"Especially The Letter. I think it will definitely be included in the Hundred Flowers Awards next year!"
They are all directors in the film industry, and it is no secret that the Hundred Flowers Awards are about to be restored.
The Hundred Flowers Awards is a major award held by the magazine Popular Films. It is entirely determined by audience voting, so it is also known as the "audience award".
In this regard, apart from anything else, "The Letter" has a huge advantage.
The reason is that "The Letter" is adapted from Li Changhe's novel, and no one can tell how large Li Changhe's readership is.
It can be predicted that once the Hundred Flowers Awards officially resume voting, the movie "The Letter" will definitely be selected.
As for "Jungle Gun King", it's hard to say. According to its current popularity and with the support of Li Changhe, it may be selected.
If this is true, then Li Changhe will become really famous.
"Speaking of this, I remembered Gong Xue. Who of you has a notebook? How about using her?"
"We also watched her film Ji Hong, and her acting skills are remarkable and very spiritual. We can't just keep not giving her the chance to make movies."
Ling Zifeng asked with a smile to several directors at this time.
He has been indebted to Li Changhe for his two recent films, and knowing that Gong Xue is Li Changhe's sister, he must speak up for her.
Hearing Ling Zifeng's words, several directors frowned.
"It's not that I don't want her, it's mainly because this girl is too pretty. To be honest, I can't find a suitable script."
"You said we were going to make a revolutionary film and let such a delicate girl star in it. It's obvious that the style doesn't match!"
Shuihua shook his head helplessly at this time.
"Having her own traits too obvious is not a good thing. Actresses like her are best suited to specific roles. She would be easily distracted by ordinary roles."
"In fact, Cheng Yingtong's performance was a bit ordinary. It's not that her performance was bad, but her portrayal of the character was too bland."
"Her own temperament overshadows the highlight of this role."
Several directors spoke thoughtfully at this moment.
Ling Zifeng looked at Wang Yang helplessly.
At this time, you, Wang Yang, have to say something. You have brought the girl here, so you can't just leave her alone.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I have already made arrangements for Gong Xue."
He had given Gong Xue leave for so long, just waiting for the right opportunity.
If there is no suitable script, that’s easy. Just ask Li Changhe to write one.
It’s hard to say about others, but it shouldn’t be a problem for them to write a script for their sister.
Wang Yang was a shrewd man and had actually thought it through in his mind a long time ago.
But he was in no hurry to talk about this.
Now that "Jungle Gun King" has become a hit, we have the confidence to negotiate with China Film.
Then next, it’s time to make a movie for this girl Gong Xue.
I highly recommend a book. It is written by an author I admire very much. He is optimistic about life and is a warrior in life! If you are interested, you can go and have a look. I highly recommend it!
