What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 129 Pacific Rim
Early in the morning, the TV station—no, the crew—gathered at the dock. Today was the last show.

The grand outdoor scenes have basically been filmed, and now we are shooting the scenes of the battleship sinking and the plane falling into the water, which will be completed using scaled-down models.

Under the control of a crane, an elaborately crafted B25 model was covered in flames, spinning weakly and finally breaking its wings and falling into the sea.

Tang Wen did not disturb the filming, but instead found the producer and sound engineer to discuss the BGM.

The most attractive battle scenes were all filmed and edited at the same time. After watching them, Tang Wen felt that something was missing. When he thought about it carefully, the "attcak" from Pearl Harbor appeared in his mind, but this music was in the style of cherry blossoms, which was more in line with the active attack in the script, which was exactly the opposite of the content of the film.

Tang Wen racked his brains and finally came up with "Pacific Rim".

But he didn't know any music. Fortunately, the recording guy at the TV station was also a singer, so he found a way to get his electronic keyboard and electric guitar, and with his help, he clumsily searched for the tune he remembered.

The recording guy initially thought that Tang Wen was wasting his time, but when he wrote out the score bit by bit under Tang Wen's correction, his eyes began to become strange.

Right next to the crew, a few TV station staff who knew a little about music played a 90% accurate rendition of "Pacific Rim" using limited music:
"Thump thump ↓ thump thump-thump thump ↑..."

When the familiar prelude sounded, Tang Wen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and the people around him felt their scalps tingling when they heard it.

Pacific Rim won't be released for another decade or so, but when this mecha-inspired metal music starts playing, it's like a shock to the soul.

Although European and American rock music is no stranger to people, as soon as this unique style of music appears, the magnificent scene of justice appearing in people's minds instantly emerges, and they can't help but be stunned on the spot.

After a few minutes of playing the tune, the entire crew had stopped without knowing when, and were concentrating on listening to this metal music.

The few people who played the music themselves were extremely excited and couldn't believe that this was the level of their performance.

"Boss Tang, this..."

The recording guy was stunned, but saw Tang Wen frown and said:
"The back part still lacks a sense of grandeur... It would be nice to have a cello. Can you think of a solution?"

"Yes, this song is too, too... like devilish music."

The recording guy couldn't think of a suitable word for a long time, and finally said the word "devil". The others nodded in agreement. They had never been exposed to this style of pure music.

“It would be best to rent a theater and have a professional cello ensemble perform the second half. The effect would be absolutely amazing!”

"It's a small matter. Is there anything in Goose City?"

"Yes, of course... No, this score is still too rough... Mr. Tang, can I take it to someone to improve it? I know the dean of the local music school. He knows about symphony improvement, so it's definitely no problem!"

Tang Wen nodded casually, then walked towards Nie Qiang who was jogging towards him under the admiring gaze of everyone.

Nie Qiang: "Who was playing music just now? Such a rhythmic music."

"This is an original song for our movie. I plan to add it when the fighter planes appear in formation."

Nie Qiang also heard the general idea when he came over and nodded without hesitation:

"That's perfect. I want to hear it again. Do we have anyone who can compose music?"

Tang Wen turned his head away embarrassedly and lifted his hair lonely.

"..."

"Mr. Tang is really multi-talented."

"Little things, little things..."

After a round of business exaggeration, Tang Wen asked a question:
"How difficult would it be to fly a propeller plane to take off and land on a World War II aircraft carrier?" Nie Qiang didn't think much about it. This was actually a question he had thought about a long time ago.

The original script of the movie was about a US aircraft carrier attack, but because the aircraft carrier scene was difficult to shoot, it was finally decided to only use a model to shoot a long shot. The aircraft carrier did not participate in the main battle scenes, and basically just made an appearance.

However, the aviation group actually considered building a 1:1 wooden deck on the beach to shoot the takeoff shots in a staggered manner, and had carefully planned the feasibility, but had to cancel it due to lack of manpower and resources.

Nie Qiang: "Takeoff is easy. Even without a catapult, you can fly by making good use of the runway. However, landing is not possible. It requires rigorously trained carrier-based aircraft pilots and a complete landing support team and facilities. Only a real aircraft carrier team can accomplish this.

Aircraft carrier landing has been extremely complex since its inception and has always been a very difficult extreme sport. If you are not careful, the aircraft will be destroyed and people will die.

Tang Wen: "So, there's not much difference between taking off and landing?"

Nie Qiang: "It will be a little harder, but as long as you are careful, it is not difficult to do."

Tang Wen: "If there is an aircraft carrier, can you do it? For example, the Hornet in the script."

Nie Qiang thought about it carefully and did not doubt Tang Wen's purpose:

"Yes, but only for takeoff. Landing can only be done at land airports."

Tang Wen was delighted: "Great! Pick out which plane you find most comfortable, and I'll hoist it up so you can try flying it."

"Okay, I'll do it right away..." Nie Qiang suddenly stopped and turned around to ask:

"Where are you flying to?"

"The aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet, no, it should be called the Super Hornet now."

……

Lu Jun really didn't expect that the so-called naval team would give him a difficult problem right from the start.

As an analyst with an intelligence background, Lao Zhang's purpose in coming here was not to lead the inspection, but to find out Gai Jin's background. So he asked not to make it public and planned to find the local team to understand the situation first.

Lao Zhang is often active on the screen and is no stranger to the outside world. He can find many problems just by looking at the information provided by the official.

However, there are many companies in this era that are wilder and more bizarre than this, and many rules are tacitly understood, so Lao Zhang didn't think much about it.

He first obtained the newspaper related to Gaijin from Yan Jian, and soon discovered the clue:
Gaijin clearly exported a huge amount of materials and technology, but a careful study shows no trace of them, and the input and output are not balanced.

Especially in terms of technology, in the construction scenes of the Lv2 shipyard photographed by Bai Yang in the newspaper, the so-called construction ships are two tank landing ships that are really the most real ones. At least they are modified based on them, and the model is somewhat similar to an old ship type with British military support.

He was almost certain that Gaijin must have a very powerful force behind him, which allowed it to expand rapidly in a short period of time and receive huge amounts of technical support and resource assistance through secret channels.

Unable to find any public channels, Lao Zhang went straight to the town to find Lu Jun, and expressed his doubts without hesitation and asked him to provide clues.

Of course Lu Jun knew some of the inside story, but he found it difficult to speak up.

According to his and Tang Wen's plan, the Da Wan Scenic Area alone aims to receive more than 5 people a year and have an annual revenue of 2000 million. It is expected that the revenue will exceed 3 million within 5 to 5000 years, bringing huge economic benefits to the local area and completely driving development.

Not to mention that Gai Jin has achieved a turnover of tens of millions in just a few months. This is an enterprise registered in Da Wan Town, and it has single-handedly made Da Wan stand out among many towns.

These two projects alone can bring the town and two townships an annual revenue of over 100 million yuan... How can there be a problem?

But facing the sharp-eyed Old Zhang, Lu Jun still didn't dare to hide it and could only tell the truth.
