#623 - Chapter 623: The strongest equipment in service! War film or science fiction? Photography, su
Lin Chao stood there dumbfounded.
Initially.
Director Zhang approached him about filming a movie, saying the military would assist, providing real firearms and ammunition for the shoot.
He thought that even with military assistance, it would probably be retired equipment or older models, right?
But now!
Before him was clearly the one from the news—the Type 055 destroyer, a true arsenal ship!
Not only that.
Three-in-one optical helmets!
And futuristic-looking assault rifles, sniper rifles, and individual grenade launchers!
Even…
Everyone was equipped with exoskeletal armor!
Okay.
The exoskeleton was one of the countless technologies Chen Hao provided after the brain-computer interface was completed. Due to its relatively low technical complexity, it was developed successfully in the shortest amount of time and is already in mass production and gradually entering service.
Exoskeleton.
“They are…the Navy?!” Lin Chao asked blankly.
“Naval Marines.”
Chen Hao smiled faintly: “Isn’t this branch of the military useful in movies?”
Lin Chao's mouth twitched.
This is…
Turning a modern war film into a science fiction blockbuster?
He was excited.
The equipment far exceeded expectations!
And not just him.
Every director present was in shock.
Who had ever heard of using the most advanced active-duty equipment to film a movie?
“Everyone!”
Chen Hao scanned the crowd: “The purpose of making these films should be clear to everyone.”
“Don't worry about funding, and the remuneration will definitely be generous. If you need any assistance, I can resolve it.”
“I hope you will all go all out and, at the same time, eliminate any bad practices!”
He was making it clear from the start.
Filming these movies was a national mission. They would assist if assistance was needed, and provide money if money was needed. But if anyone dared to mess around…
Hong Gang was the example!
“Chairman Chen, rest assured!”
Lin Chao was very excited: “I guarantee to complete the mission!”
He didn't know how the other directors felt.
But for himself…
The Type 077 amphibious assault ship!
The Type 055 destroyer!
And a Marine Corps equipped with epoch-making gear!
With the military providing so much, he would be the only director in the world with the opportunity to shoot such a blockbuster.
How could he not cherish such an opportunity?
…
“Chairman Chen!”
After seeing off the directors, Shi Dali ran over: “The person has arrived.”
Sure enough!
Li Gang was following behind Shi Dali.
Unlike the experienced directors, from the moment he walked in, he had been nervously glancing around.
As an ordinary person, how could he remain calm entering the East Sea Fleet's naval port?
“Mr. Chen…”
Li Gang said cautiously: “Can we change the location?”
Wasn't Mr. Chen going to introduce him to a new job?
Why come here?
It's… a little scary!
“The new job is here.” Chen Hao smiled lightly.
“Huh?!”
Li Gang was completely confused.
“Chairman Chen, I bought it!”
Just then!
Xiang Yan came over with a box: “I don't understand anything about SLR cameras—nearly ten thousand, too expensive!”
“It is indeed too expensive.” Chen Hao smiled lightly.
Once the technology matures, the production cost of this thing isn't actually that high.
He had already handed over the relevant technology to the country, it should be in the research and development phase, and about to be successfully developed, right?
In short.
All high-tech products will be incorporated into China's industrial chain in the future.
Other countries will collectively lose their competitiveness!
“This is…”
Seeing the digital SLR, Li Gang's eyes lit up immediately.
Instantly.
The brand, model, and performance came out of his mouth.
Partnering with his brother to drive a truck was for a living.
Photography was his hobby!
Chen Hao handed him the camera.
“Mr. Chen, is this… for me?”
“Yes.”
Chen Hao pointed to the Marine Corps members not far away: “Take a few pictures of them.”
“Ah?!”
“Can you do a dark style? That is… looking fierce, very domineering, creating a strong sense of oppression.”
“Huh?!”
Li Gang's mind was in a mess.
What was Mr. Chen trying to do?
Wasn't he the nation's white glove? Why take those… photos that are detrimental to the country?
After all, the image of Chinese soldiers should be patriotic, and about the close relationship between the military and the people.
In the end.
He still took a few pictures as Chen Hao said.
“Mr. Chen, this… requires post-processing. The pictures just taken don't have that kind of effect.”
“Let's go!”
There were still many things to do later, no time to delay with Li Gang.
He took him directly to do the rendering.
…
Inside the computer room.
Li Gang stared blankly as he watched Chen Hao operate.
He took the photos, but Chen Hao was doing the post-processing.
He liked photography and had learned a lot of professional techniques in private, including post-processing.
But!
On a purely technical level, when he saw Chen Hao's operation, he felt… he was still far behind!
Various questions kept popping up.
If he's so good, why did he ask me to take photos?
Also.
Why take dark-style photos?
“Almost done.”
His thoughts were interrupted by Chen Hao: “Take a look, what do you think?”
Sure enough!
The style of the previously taken photos had completely changed!
To meet Chen Hao's requirements, the shooting angle was very important, but post-processing was even more important.
Dark!
Oppressive!
Heavy!
Every soldier filled people with a sense of oppression, and the whole picture was… breathtaking!
Where was there any trace of its original appearance?
“Mr. Chen, you…”
Li Gang's lips trembled: “Are you… is it not illegal for me to do these things?”
Pfft!
Shi Dali, who was standing behind, couldn't help but laugh.
Illegal?
Little brat, do you know?
Chairman Chen is the law!
“The same photo.”
Chen Hao didn't explain, seemingly changing the subject: “When China was weak, what would Western countries think if this kind of photo was released?”
“Conversely, if China is strong enough, what would the West think when they see these photos?”
Li Gang was stunned.
The same photo would create completely different public opinions in different periods!
If a weak country released this kind of dark-style photo, it would be scolded by the whole world as…
Dictatorship!
Militarization!
Escalating the risk of war!
Aggravating regional conflicts!
And so on, and so forth.
Conversely.
If you are strong enough, the whole world will sing your praises!
Super military equipment and dark-style photos are all for maintaining world stability and are the cornerstone of global security.
Human nature is like this.
Isn't the public opinion of various countries also like this?
At this moment, Li Gang understood.
What Chen Hao asked him to do was probably tacitly approved by the higher-ups, or even required by them!
A white glove, after all.
Isn't it just executing the orders of the higher-ups?
“Mr. Chen, I am willing to accept this job!” After understanding, Li Gang couldn't help but get excited.
From now on.
He would be Chen Hao's subordinate, and working for the country.
Most importantly, he liked photography, and being able to turn his hobby into a job, wasn't that the dream?
“I will send someone to get photos from you regularly.” Chen Hao nodded.
“Okay!”
“The monthly salary will be twenty thousand for now.”
“Ah?!”
“If a photo has a significant impact internationally, the bonus will range from ten thousand to one hundred thousand, depending on the size of the impact.”
“How much?!”
Li Gang was stunned.
This job…
Is simply robbing money!
Sure enough, following Chen Hao, you don't have to worry about money at all!
“Remember! You are working for the country and will have access to many secrets!” Chen Hao's expression became serious.
“Mr. Chen, I understand!”
“Shi Dali.”
“Yes!”
“Take him to learn the confidentiality regulations first.”
Li Gang cooperated very well.
Working for the country!
Not only is there a sense of honor, but also an extremely generous income, how could he not cooperate with learning confidentiality regulations?
