Chapter 705 Oil Field Development? (Second Update)
The next day at work, Liu Hai went to the factory manager to say hello to his former father-in-law, and then thought about what script to write.
"This script is purely Chinese and cannot resonate with Western audiences." Liu Hai carefully considered the script he talked about yesterday.
"Rescue? This doesn't seem to be very suitable. If it is purely Chinese, it's a bit unreasonable."
"First Blood, maybe Stallone is already writing it, and this value concept is a bit inconsistent with our Eastern values."
"In addition, if the first movie is not popular, I'm afraid not many foreigners will be willing to go to the cinema to watch these Eastern movies."
"Titanic? This is also not in line with Eastern values." To put it bluntly, Titanic is about a woman cheating on a man, and there is even no love, a bit like a one-night stand.
"Let's list the necessary elements first. First, it must have some connection with the West. Second, the overall plot environment must be very bad. Third, it is a battle royale mode, chasing each other. Fourth, don't just have kung fu movies with gun battles or even cannons, airplanes, etc." Liu Hai thought about the classic movies he had seen, and there were relatively few that were acceptable to both the East and the West.
"Finally, it would be best if we could take advantage of the popularity? That way, Western audiences would have the desire to watch it." Liu Hai looked at what he had summarized, thinking of many storylines in his mind.
"Got it!" Liu Hai quickly thought of one thing, that is, to take advantage of the popularity.
"Take advantage of the popularity of Resident Evil."
"Next year, we will shoot the second part of Resident Evil, and this will just serve as the prequel of Resident Evil." Liu Hai already had a general idea in his mind.
Then Liu Hai began to write the elements of this script.
Story summary: In the 1940s, the little notebook invaded Xiaofei, General Mike waved and ran away, and a bald eagle virus expert was captured by the little notebook people and sent to the northern 173 virus research base.
The main task is for people who set out from Hong Kong Island to rescue this virus expert. There are three protagonists, two men and one woman.
At this time, Hong Kong Island was also occupied by the little notebook. The people who participated in the rescue had just boarded the ship, and were later discovered by the little notebooks of Hong Kong Island.
Then they first fought on the ship for a while, although the protagonist's team killed all the little notebooks on the ship.
However, because there was a warship intercepted by Xiaobenzi in front, the group went ashore and took the train again.
Anyway, they ran in front and chased behind, and those who caught up would be killed. Of course, the biggest villain boss followed behind.
Finally, the virus expert of Bald Eagle was successfully rescued and sent to the ship.
There must be not only a battle royale, but also the things that Xiaobenzi did in our country.
Finally, when they entered the 173 Institute, they saw the symbol of the villain in Resident Evil.
Because Liu Hai was going to explain the source of the villain in the second part of Resident Evil, it came from this 173.
Bald Eagle won the victory that year, and the earliest source of the virus in Resident Evil was this 173.
Then the students of the main researchers in 173 came to Bald Eagle and used Bald Eagle's people to do research. They successfully developed the X virus, which would cause the living dead.
Mission X, this is the name of the movie script.
"Hehe!" Liu Hai was very satisfied with the script.
On the one hand, Westerners would definitely accept it, after all, this was the person who saved them.
The second one can also take advantage of the popularity. The film "Resident Evil" is already being filmed. This kind of horror film is very popular in Bald Eagle, because Bald Eagle has always had a doomsday theory.
The main background of the movie "Resident Evil" is urban background, so there is not much need for individually constructed props.
The last thing is to tell what Xiao Benzi did through the movie, so that Westerners can understand it better.
Most Westerners don't even know their own history, because they advocate quality education. It's not enough to just study well, you also need other extra points, such as community service, such as various social activities.
And in the West, no matter how well you study, it can't be better than a letter of recommendation from others.
So Liu Hai started writing the script. At the beginning of the movie, he had to write about General Mike abandoning Xiao Fei, and then Xiao Benzi persecuted the Bald Eagle people on Xiao Fei's side. First, the audience's emotions were aroused, and the anger of Westerners was aroused.
In this way, the audience will feel happy and relieved when the three protagonists kill Xiao Benzi's people.
Then the virus expert was captured by Xiao Benzi and sent to the Northeast.
Then the intelligence department of the Bald Eagle in Hong Kong Island issued the mission, and then the protagonist team started to set off.
Soon after the protagonist team set off, the Bald Eagle people who issued the mission were killed by the small notebook, and then a message was revealed that there was a traitor in the team.
This traitor is a hidden line. If the box office of the first movie is good, then this traitor is the sequel, that is, in the end, the movie seems to have completed the mission, but the traitor has not been found.
This gives people a lot of suspense, that is, is the person who was rescued real? What will happen next?
And it is necessary to intentionally or unintentionally show in the plot that one of the three protagonists is a traitor.
The whole plot is either killing or on the way to killing. After all, there is such a long distance from Hong Kong Island to the Northeast, and there will be a fight when you get there.
Not only kung fu, but also gunfights.
The second step is to write a task, which is that after the bomber of the bald eagle bombed the little book in 1942, the plane flew to our side and rescued the pilot.
"When the third Resident Evil movie comes, the protagonist in this movie can be made up a little older to make a cameo appearance, hehe!" Liu Hai thought to himself while writing.
Because he has seen a lot of movies, as long as there is a general plot, Liu Hai can fill in the movie clips he has seen before.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Hai returned to the courtyard where Xiaoyun lived at night, his father-in-law had already returned.
"Dad, are you so fast?" Liu Hai was a little surprised when he saw his father-in-law coming back.
"I received the invitation letter at noon, so I packed up and came back by plane. I heard from Xiaoyun that you want to write a script for me?" Although the father-in-law is in his 40s, he is in good health and spirits.
"Well, I only wrote a part today." Liu Hai nodded and took out the script he wrote today.
The father-in-law couldn't wait to pick up the script and read it.
"Your beginning?" The old man looked at the beginning, which described the medical staff of the little book persecuting the bald eagle on Xiaofei's side.
"For Western audiences, we must first arouse Western emotions. They will definitely be angry when they see their people being treated like this..." Liu Hai explained to his father-in-law.
The father-in-law looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
The father-in-law watched and listened to Liu Hai's introduction.
"Wow! Great, I'll invest in this movie." The father-in-law heard that the movie script would eventually be linked to the movie "Resident Evil".
"Resident Evil" is a big production, and it is said that the investment is more than 60 million US dollars.
Of course, the story in the middle also made the father-in-law think that this movie should be popular.
"I should have asked you to write some scripts for me earlier. The last two movies that invested tens of millions of dollars lost a lot of money." After listening to Liu Hai's explanation, the father-in-law realized that there were many problems with the movies he had made before.
"If this movie makes money, we will make the second one. If it doesn't make money, forget it."
"Yeah!"
The next morning, the father-in-law was picked up by a special car from the cultural department.
Then the father-in-law successfully joined the preparatory group for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms project.
Now the people in the preparation group are discussing how to write the script. After all, there are many things involved in making it a big production.
My father-in-law no longer manages the business in detail. The business is handed over to managers or family members.
Xiaoyun left a few days after returning, and Liu Hai took out the script in a few days.
As for many details in it, he had to ask his father-in-law to find someone to fill in.
At this time in Hong Kong Island, Mr. Huo was entertaining a group of South American customers.
These customers are old friends. They were the first to buy private jets.
These customers are now at a pier, which is a private pier.
Two gray sightseeing boats are in the sea, and the entourage of these customers are experiencing these sightseeing boats.
After leaving the pier, these sightseeing boats dived underwater, leaving only a snorkel on the water.
These customers at the pier can only see the snorkel by staring with binoculars.
If you look visually, it is difficult to find these snorkels on the sea.
These customers waited for more than an hour, and the sightseeing boat finally floated up silently from the sea in front of everyone.
"This is simply amazing!" These customers exclaimed as they saw the sightseeing boats floating up from the sea.
After the sightseeing boats docked, these customers listened to the reports of their followers, and then came to the sightseeing boats to visit the space and structure inside the sightseeing boats.
The two types of sightseeing boats use different batteries.
The lead-acid battery version has a smaller space, and the lithium battery version has a larger space.
The cargo capacity of the lead-acid battery version is smaller than that of the lithium battery version, but the speed of the lithium battery version is a little faster.
Of course, the price of the lithium battery version is much higher than that of the lead-acid battery.
And the lithium battery version is also dangerous.
For these customers, it doesn't matter whether it is dangerous or not, the key is to load more.
Originally, these customers didn't buy these sightseeing boats to go underwater sightseeing.
Of course, the sightseeing boats sold by regular companies in Hong Kong Island are also regular.
This is like some people buy kitchen knives to cook, and some people buy kitchen knives to do other things. No matter what other people do, it has little to do with the kitchen knife seller.
Then these customers also experienced it inside.
After the experience, these customers were very satisfied and came to the factory near the dock. There were finished products introduced in the factory and they could also be customized. Of course, the price of customization was not cheap.
"Huo, I want 50 of these sightseeing submarines, five with lead-acid batteries, and the rest with lithium batteries." A customer said.
The reason why this customer said this was that he wanted to do formal business with the lead-acid battery version, and the lithium battery version would be used for less formal business.
"Asshole, you want 50 for one person, can you eat so much?" Another customer heard that his opponent wanted 50, and immediately said loudly.
What do you do? Everyone knows each other. If you want 50 for one person, are you going to send 100 tons of spiritual food to the bald eagle's home?
You know, this one can transport two or three tons of goods, how much money can you make from one ton of goods.
"I can't buy more to see, I can't use it for sightseeing, business is so difficult now." The customer who just spoke said unhappily.
"Everyone stop arguing, let's follow the previous model of small planes, that is, everyone, everyone must take the same amount." Someone said immediately.
"The market is so big, and everyone can't finish it. Those damn AICs are grabbing our market while attacking us."
"It has become more and more difficult to transport goods in the past two years. Those damn guys have more and more advanced radars."
"This kind of sightseeing boat is good, very concealed."
Mr. Huo listened to these people and said: "Gentlemen, we are doing legitimate business. We will sell this kind of sightseeing boat to customers all over the world. Of course, the cost is very expensive. You also know what the price of lithium batteries is now. This small battery in a mobile phone costs dozens of dollars!"
"That's for sure. We are all doing legitimate business!" These customers nodded.
These customers in South America are doing legitimate business locally. They just send some spiritual food they need to the big dog owners in the north and then make some profits.
Because if these people don't do it themselves, the dog owners' own people will do it.
"Mr. Huo, you are right. In addition, we want to buy some other things. The people of AIC are getting more and more excessive."
"That's right, these dogs want to monopolize the entire spiritual food market."
When Mr. Huo heard this, he knew what these people wanted to buy, and said, "I am doing legitimate business here, but if you need it, I can introduce it. They can deliver it to your door, anywhere in the world."
"Thank you, Mr. Huo, we hope to deliver the sightseeing boat as soon as possible, and we hope to deliver it together in South America." These customers in South America are wary of each other, fearing that the other party will get the sightseeing boat first and make money first.
After all, the sightseeing boat will be known to the big customers in North America sooner or later, so enough goods must be transported before the big customers know.
These big customers are excited. They met Mr. Huo more than ten years ago, and then these customers' assets began to surge because the small plane was so easy to use.
Now Mr. Huo has developed an underwater sightseeing boat, and these big customers are ready to fight again, knowing that the opportunity to get rich has come again.
These guys looked at each other and decided to go back and teach AIC a hard lesson first.
"That's no problem!" Mr. Huo nodded.
"In addition, I reiterate here that no one of you is allowed to accept goods from Southeast Asia." Mr. Huo then said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo, in recent years, whenever we see people from your side coming to buy goods, we will kill them all."
"As for selling goods, it's impossible. Whoever steals our business, we will kill him." These customers in South America certainly know what Mr. Huo means.
"Then you discuss a quantity, and we will deliver it as soon as possible." Mr. Huo nodded.
These customers discussed and ordered 600 ships, one-fifth of which are lead-acid battery versions, and the remaining 4/5 are all lithium battery versions.
Although the price of the lithium battery version is twice that of the lead-acid battery version.
But the cargo capacity is large, and the lithium battery version can carry one ton more cargo at a time than the lead-acid battery version.
Although these sightseeing boats have a slow sailing speed, they are more concealed.
These South American customers have been forced to do nothing in the past two years, because the radars equipped by major northern customers are becoming more and more advanced, and the number of maritime guards is increasing.
It was already the end of October when Liu Hai heard the news in Kyoto. Liu Hai knew that the test data of the submarine was quite good, whether it was wind and wave resistance or underwater navigation, speed or control, these were quite good, and some optimizations were made.
Brother Li changed his department last year, so Sun Aiguo personally came to Liu Hai to hand over anything recently: "The main manufacturer of this kind of sightseeing boat is still in Hong Kong Island, but the company that ordered this batch of submarines is a company of Gallic Chicken."
"The fiberglass molds are produced there, and the rest of the electric motors and batteries are imported from us."
"Otherwise, it will be bad if the big customer Bald Eagle catches you, although this is also a formal use."
"Transportation will be left to the dealer's fleet."
"The matter of the four great classics you mentioned last time, they don't have a specific result yet, it will probably be next year."
Liu Hai now knows, remembering that it seems that the preparation time for filming these TV series is not short.
The main reason is that the four great classics are too famous. If the general public doesn't like the filmed version, it will be a lifetime of infamy.
And the filmed version of the four great classics is somewhat different from the original, how to grasp the degree in between?
Anyway, if the filming is good, everyone will be famous, and if it is not good, everyone will be criticized.
"There is no rush for this." Liu Hai is not in a hurry for this. The four great classics are not like the scripts written by himself, which can be easily fulfilled. These are written by people in the past, and there are too many things that can be interpreted in them.
"The dealer's last order for flying motorcycles has not been completed, and this time they have placed another order, but they are willing to exchange it for oil field mining rights this time. The dealer is very willing to agree, but he is reluctant to give us money, so he wants to give us some shares." Sun Aiguo's next words made Liu Hai very interested.
"Where is it?" But Liu Hai was worried that this was a quagmire, so he asked.
"Babylon, although their country has foreign exchange reserves, you also know that the consumption of flying motorcycles is not small. They used a small amount of cash and oil before, but the oil production capacity is limited, so they want to use the oil fields now. After all, we still have a lot of crude oil that has not been delivered." Sun Aiguo said.
"This...!" Liu Hai really couldn't make a decision. According to history, there were still a lot of things to happen to the Babylonian Kingdom, but now history has changed again.
