Chapter 366 Guilty and Confidence

Wang Xu's car has changed. Now it is a Hutou Benz. It was paid for by Wang Fei. It has a black license plate with the license plate number 1024. Well, Wang Xu dare not be too high-profile, so just use an integer.

This car is imported as a whole vehicle. Wang Xu's joint venture approved two cars, and the other one was left in the studio for public use.

The studio also added a lot of cars, most of which are imported. These were helped by Director Jiang. Some things can't be written casually, such as Hu Jian and Hainan, where there are many such cars.

Once you get mixed up in this era, it suddenly becomes very simple to obtain many materials.

In fact, Director Jiang also asked Wang Xu if he wanted to get a military license plate. His safety level is enough. It is convenient to arrange security under the general assembly.

But Wang Xu refused. Although getting a military license plate is very cool, it is equivalent to making himself a target. It is completely unnecessary. He doesn't need that little highway toll.

Oh, by the way, there are no highways at the moment. The first highway in the capital was built in recent years and has just been opened to traffic. Wang Xu even went there specially just to experience the long-lost speed.

The illusion that there are highways everywhere in China and that you can get anywhere is actually mostly after 2000, especially after the 2008 U.S. financial crisis.

Before that, China's roads were still a very difficult problem.

Therefore, in the memories of those born in the 70s and 80s, going home during the Spring Festival has always been a very painful experience. Even in the era of high-speed rail, they still have the fear of buying tickets.

However, compared with the long-term separation between the 50s and 60s, they could not go home at all. Those born in the 70s and 80s can be said to be very happy.

China has actually been making progress. Almost every generation has a feeling of earth-shaking changes. This feeling is not limited to after the reform.

Therefore, the team that went to Changping to visit today was huge and long. Wang Xu's studio did not have enough cars, so he rented several Toyota vans from the Imperial Capital Automobile Company to get all the people on board.

In fact, this was the first time that Wang Xu officially disclosed his film and television city project to the outside world. Somehow, the Changping government took a fancy to his street for filming. They invested some money and allocated a piece of land to start a film and television city project with Wang Xu.

Wang Xu certainly didn't care. There were not too many such things in China, especially in this era. Changping mainly built modern cities. In the future, there will be many streets with customs from other countries, mainly for various urban films.

Compared with other places, there are more foreigners in the imperial capital. Compared with other places, it is easier to find extras who play foreigners. This is also the final positioning of Changping Film and Television City.

That is, the construction of urban scenes, science fiction scenes, and some overseas scenes allows many films that require a small number of foreign shots to be shot here.

The imperial capital of this era was really backward. There were no buildings to see outside the Third Ring Road. There were grain fields everywhere. Later, these lands cultivated many demolition households.

The piece occupied by Wang Xu is more remote, at the foot of the mountain, there are not many trees, and next to it is the Beijing-Miyun Canal, which is the water source of the imperial capital. It is impossible to develop any industry, and even agriculture is restricted.

It is just right to build a film and television city. The canal itself is a good view. Planting trees and landscaping next to it are all good locations for filming. And this will only produce some domestic garbage, as long as it is cleared regularly, there will be no problem.

However, Wang Xu also knows that this project is unlikely to make money now, and China's film and television industry has not yet reached the explosive period.

However, it is fashionable to enclose a large piece of land for this. There are also several places for filming near the imperial capital, such as Huairou and Zhuozhou, but not only are they small in scale and single in form, but also various services and management are not in place.

Wang Xu's planning is much better. In addition to the European style streets and the future urban streets, there are also special green screen studios, post-production centers, special effects centers, explosion sites, etc., which cover a large area.

Although most of them are just built like sheds and don't even have air conditioning, they are much better than those built outdoors.

However, there is no need to rush these things. This should be a compensation project for Wang Xu. Therefore, Wang Xu just made a rough plan and threw it to the Shuimu Architecture Department to work on the project together.

Wang Xu proposed a modular construction here, which can quickly replace the building facade, but the interior must maintain a good environment. This requires full use of various new materials and full integration of special effects technology, so it is a rather novel challenge for the Shuimu Architecture Department.

Of course, such a film and television city also needs various commercial and supporting equipment around it. Wang Xu also handed the planning task to the Shuimu Architecture Department, and it would be best if it could be integrated with the various style streets needed for filming.

Using some permanent and semi-permanent buildings and scenery, practicality is also included, just like European-style coffee shops, which can be said to be necessary for various blocks, so it is better to open one, as long as it looks different from different angles.

Wang Xu's special effects studio is naturally located here, and the current office environment is still very simple. The office is just a simple shed, without even air conditioning or heating, and a few stoves are used for heating.

There is always a kettle on the stove, which can be used for humidification and tea, killing two birds with one stone. It is the preferred heating tool in the imperial capital at this time, and Wang Xu's family is like this.

As for those who play with explosives over there, they cannot see fire, so they can only rely on cotton coats to carry them.

Fortunately, people nowadays are really not so particular. It is a blessing to have a job, even for people with imperial capital household registration.

Then I found that I could learn a technology, which is simply the most ideal job, not to mention that this technology is quite interesting.

Therefore, although the special effects staff left by Wang Xu here are hard, they are really optimistic.

Of course, Wang Xu will not allow this to continue. The factory and office buildings are already under construction, but the foundation has just been laid, and it has entered winter. Construction cannot be carried out, and we can only wait until the beginning of next spring.

This year, we can only make do with this, which is why the computer special effects studio can only be arranged in the city. The infrastructure here is completely unqualified, and even tap water has to be specially coordinated and pulled over.

However, in front of foreigners, we still have to explain that this place is temporary now, and the factories over there are the places where real movies will be made in the future, which will not be so hard.

Wang Xu doesn't know the ugly actors at the moment very well. There will definitely be some ugly actors involved in it at that time. He doesn't want the guild over there to do anything weird.

In fact, there were not so many weird things in the ugly movies in the 1990s. All kinds of weird regulations and requirements are basically things in the 21st century. Just a few years ago, their main energy was still competing with the Soviet Union, and they didn't have so much time to take care of domestic affairs.

That is, after he became the boss, he really started to mess around in China. At this moment, the left-wing forces in Hollywood still exist, but they are not so strong.

They have not evolved into the strange leftists of later generations, and their overall style is still very tough.

In fact, the real golden age of Hollywood is also the 30 years starting from the 1980s. This is the era when Hollywood itself quickly grew into a world-class one, conquered the world, was invincible, suppressed Europe and finally gained the right to speak completely.

After almost unifying the industry in the later period, that is, after 2010, Hollywood seemed to stop making movies, and there were few truly good movies.

Especially when many independent producers in Hollywood disappeared and a few major producers monopolized everything, the background of Hollywood became more and more entertainment-oriented and politicized, and the products produced were mostly market-oriented, and naturally there was no thinking from the creators.

This is also one of the core reasons why many post-00s children in later generations no longer like to watch Hollywood movies.

Hollywood conquered the world in the 1990s, relying on the quality of the film and a group of excellent filmmakers. Whether it is directors, actors, producers, or behind the scenes, there are a group of absolutely world-class masters.

These people can be said to be perfect in both technology and art.

They are combined together, with strong financial backing, and they make films with their heart. The products they produce are naturally of high quality, and conquering the world is just a matter of course.

Later films do the opposite. They first set the premise of conquering the world, and then make films. It would be strange if they can do well.

This is just like the development of China. People born in the 1970s and 1980s must have felt deeply that we were really just keeping a low profile and developing ourselves.

We were exhausted just by developing ourselves, so how could we think about becoming a world power?

"I woke up from my dying dream, and found that I was the great power."

Although it is a joke on the Internet, it is actually quite vivid. Almost everyone in China is still deeply self-reflecting and self-doubting. Everything they do is trembling, for fear of causing any bad influence internationally.

When something happens, the word "endurance" comes first. If you can avoid it, don't get involved. That is to engrave forbearance into your bones. Many public intellectuals at this moment are really worried. Who knows whether what the West says will really happen?

Take the science and technology industry that Wang Xu is familiar with. Let alone making up for shortcomings, we have shortcomings everywhere.

The most important job of keeping secrets at this moment is not to prevent others from knowing how advanced we are, but to prevent others from knowing how backward we are.

Just like the Galaxy computer that we boasted about, all the participants knew that it was impossible to make a second one, and it couldn't even be started a few times. The only purpose of making this thing was to break the blockade of this type of computer.

Although the performance of his supercomputer was not good in the world, it was a self-produced product that could be mass-produced, and its performance could actually compete with foreign manufacturers. It was not a pure scientific research product like Galaxy.

This aroused great interest from above, and various support and subsidies never stopped.

In an era of trembling all day long, who would have thought that in just thirty years, China would become a great power in the mouths of others? Who can you find to reason with?

And these visible and tangible world-class achievements are the core reason why Wang Xu gained such trust so quickly.

At this moment, everyone is not as confident as Wang Xu. Everyone feels guilty and has no confidence.

And these achievements are Wang Xu's confidence, and naturally Shuimu's confidence, and will soon become China's confidence.

This is why Wang Xu can receive such courtesy at a young age and get so much care.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just this big piece of land in Changping, and the factory over there in 798. Wang Xu doesn’t have to do anything, just put the land there, rent it out to grow corn, and wait for someone to develop it and cooperate with him. Twenty years later, Wang Xu will be a billionaire.

That’s what the Hong Kong Superman did, but Wang Xu felt that it was a loss of face and that doing this would undermine his identity as a scientist.

In general, whether it is China or the United States, the 1990s was a very special period in history, a rare era of sincerity.

This side really thinks that I have to learn from you, and all kinds of humble flattery, please see how I do this, please help me check, please help me supervise, etc., but this era is a common language for foreigners.

And the other side also really thinks why you are so bad, you have to change this, you have to change that, well, this is a bargain for you.

Look at Huawei’s Mr. Ren, who has the typical way of thinking of this group of entrepreneurs, and the glass maker Cao.

Wang Xu naturally knew his shortcomings, but he didn't think he was inferior to them. It was not only because of his firm knowledge of the future, but also because of his strong system skills.

Therefore, Wang Xu's attitude towards the ugly countryman was really casual. He really took a lot of artist's money. He didn't even invite the guests to sit in his Mercedes-Benz, but continued to sit in one with Wang Fei.

The guests went to sit in the car arranged by Wang Jinghua. Although it was also a Mercedes-Benz and actually more in line with the guests' own habits, it was not in line with the current Chinese hospitality.

Director Jiang was a little dazed today. Seeing Wang Xu talking to the foreigners, not losing at all, and even using Qiao's face from time to time, Director Jiang felt his liver trembling.

It was the first time he saw Wang Xu contacting foreign guests, so he naturally needed to come to assist. He was the royal chief steward, but he realized that Wang Xu really didn't care about the new investors, and he was not as polite as he was to Zou.

Although he could be regarded as responding to requests and people could see anything they wanted, he didn't arrange anyone to receive him at all. He just looked at them all the way and introduced them casually.

This one is rendering, this one is modeling, and that one is drawing settings and so on. They didn’t even stop working in the studio for a minute.

That’s OK. This guy is not short of money or skills. He is really confident.
