Chapter 271

If it were another person, wouldn't it be possible to watch the entire movie without even understanding what was said?

"Actually, that's not the main reason that bothers me."

Han Xiao shook her head, indicating that this matter was not that simple.

Although the unclear plot context is a flaw of the film, considering that it was the first time for Xingqiu's friend, the young master, to film, it is normal to make such a mistake.

Moreover, it can be seen from the camera movement, color and soundtrack of the film that this young man from Yujingtai has some artistic talent and is a good candidate for a film director.

But there is something wrong with this plot...

"What happened to the plot?"

Xingqiu glanced at Han Xiao in confusion, as if he didn't understand why his family was so concerned about this aspect of the plot.

"Aren't you saying that it's normal to have some storytelling issues during the first filming, and you can just improve it in the future?"

"It seems you don't know yet."

Seeing that Xingqiu seemed completely unaware, Han Xiao thought for a while and then told the information she had obtained in detail:

"Sister Yue mentioned something when she was chatting with me on the phone some time ago. Recently, Yujingtai has been in an uproar because of this incident."

"Gong De'an's daughter seems to have fallen in love with her entourage. Currently, the father and daughter of Duke De'an are in a tense situation because of this matter."

"Ha, there is still this matter?"

I have to say that this was indeed the first time Xingqiu heard about this matter, and he understood it later.

This seems to be somewhat similar to the plot of Yingying.

Wait... Could it be that this friend of mine was inspired by this incident?

"I don't know if it's inspired or not, but such insinuations are not a good choice for the popularization of Yingying."

This friend from Xingqiu has talent and ideas, and is a seedling worth cultivating.

It's just this choice of materials that is too bold.

What Han Xiao needs is a good film that can be quickly accepted by all Liyue people. For example, a family comedy is the best choice.

Rather than a quasi-artistic film that alludes to reality and has many implications.

This does not meet his expectations for Yingying at this stage.

“So it’s still a matter of audience size for the story?”

Under Han Xiao's explanation, Xingqiu finally understood the inside story.

My goal is to promote film screenings as a new entertainment activity in Liyue, so the first step is to select films for the public.

Although his friend has some artistic talent in photography, his choice of materials is a bit niche.

"Yes, please tell your friend for me that if he can make a comedy movie suitable for all ages, the theater in Guili City can buy his video tape."

"Then I'll ask you next time."

Chapter 435 Arriving at Mingyun Town

Although the works of Xingqiu's rich son-in-law friend seemed to Han Xiao to have some minor flaws, and they were also a bit realistic.

But he is still quite optimistic about Xingqiu's friend whose name he has not heard yet.

After all, except for some mistakes that newcomers would make in the storytelling of the film, the rest is quite talented in terms of color, lens language, etc.

With serious training, you may not be able to become the first famous film director in Liyue.

So after the screening, Han Xiao asked for Xingqiu's contact information. At the same time, he also found out that the young man with some artistic talent was called Shaoyin.

"The problem with the theater is to first rent it out to music artists as a stage. After the film technology matures, we can then exclusively screen films."

After He Xingqiu walked out of the theater, Han Xiao told himself his plan.

Nowadays, filmmaking is still a new technology in Liyue, and most people are still wondering how to make a good film.

After all, there are only a few people like Xingqiu's friend Shaoyin who can take pictures with style for the first time.

So at present, it seems that it is still a bit difficult to use the theater exclusively as a movie theater.

In order not to leave the theater idle, he decided to temporarily rent the theater to storytellers or music artists to earn some money for theater maintenance.

"Okay, I've written this down."

After listening to Han Xiao's arrangements, Xingqiu nodded and kept the matter in mind, planning to issue a notice in a few days to implement it.

"That one will go back first. I will pick you up and take you to Mingyun Town tomorrow."

After solving the problem of using the theater, Han Xiao did not forget to ask Xingqiu to prepare for leaving with him to Mingyun Town tomorrow.

...

The night passed quietly, and the time soon came to the next morning.

After cleaning herself up, Han Xiao went straight to the alchemy workshop to pull Abedo out, and then picked up Xingqiu from Kuixing Tower.

After everything was completed, the three of them drove towards Mingyun Town in the electric car.

Since Mingyun Town was re-incorporated into the development zone by Han Xiao, the broken bridge that had been in disrepair for a long time between Guiliyuan and Mingyun Town was also renovated by Qianyan Army.

However, since Mingyun Town has been turned into a Liyue weapons research and development and production center, even if the broken bridge has been repaired, few people set foot here, which is currently guarded by the Qianyan Army.

"Xingqiu's friend made a pretty good movie. It's quite interesting. I want to see it when I have time."

In the electric car, Han Xiao was sitting in the driver's seat and driving, while Xingqiu in the back seat told Albedo about how he and Han Xiao went to the theater to watch a movie yesterday.

Hearing that Xingqiu's friend had shot a film with a story, Abedo also showed an interested look on his face.

He and Han Xiao had made a short animated film before to test the effect of the projector. He had never tried this kind of film with a real person as the protagonist.

"If Mr. Abedo wants to watch it, just go to the theater and find the projectionist. I will send the tape there then."

Seeing that Abedo was quite interested in Shaoyin's reflection, Xingqiu readily agreed and also gave his own evaluation:

"Although Han Xiao said that Shaoyin's film still has many minor flaws, from my perspective, it is already a very good film."

"I'm not wrong, there are indeed many problems."

Seeing Xingqiu talking about herself, Han Xiao stared out the window and interjected without looking back.

After all, from his point of view, Shaoyin's reflection originally had many mistakes that novices would make.

"That's because your vision is too high."

Xingqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Hanxiao. I don’t know why, but I have had my own opinions on physical objects such as art since I was a child, and I can often give some thought-provoking suggestions.

Just like the martial arts novel he is currently writing in Liyue Daily, it is the outline given by Han Xiao.

"So Han Xiao, you also think that the young master from the Chamber of Commerce named Shaoyin did a good job taking the photos?"

Abedo noticed that Han Xiao did not refute Xingqiu's evaluation of Shaoyin, so he asked.

"Well, he has his own ideas in terms of camera movement and color. He is a good talent."

"Did you even say that? It seems that the other party is indeed extraordinary."

Seeing that Han Xiao thought Shaoyin's film had merit, Abedo also firmly decided to go to the theater to watch it when he returned to Guili City.

He has not forgotten that Han Xiao's artistic level is not low.

Abedo has also seen the sculptures made by the other party before he became a Tianshu star in the homes of many wealthy businessmen in Guili City.

Since Han Xiao thought that Shaoyin's filming was of some standard, it naturally aroused a lot of curiosity in him.

The three of them chatted casually, and the electric car drove quickly through the road paved with cement.

It took less than half a day to arrive at Mingyun Town.

"Hanxiao, Abedo, you are here!"

Watching Han Xiao and the others get out of the electric car, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng, who had already heard the news and had been waiting here for a long time, came to greet them.

"Master Liuyun."

"True Lord!"

Seeing Liu Yun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Han Xiao and the three of them bowed respectfully.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go! I will take you to the shipyard!"

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng first nodded to the three of them and returned the favor, and then quickly urged them to follow her to the shipyard.

"Master Liuyun... don't worry."

In response to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's urging, Han Xiao raised her hand to indicate that there was no need to worry. They were all here and had plenty of time to visit the shipyard.

Looking around, he found that he didn't see anyone else. He couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Ningguang and the others haven't arrived yet?"

"Tianquanxing and the others will not arrive until tomorrow."

After hearing Han Xiao's inquiry about Ningguang and others, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun did not hide anything and directly told the date of their arrival in Mingyun Town.

After all, the launch of the steamship this time is considered Liyue's top priority. After the Seven Stars know about it, they will naturally not miss it as long as they have time.

So Ningguang and the others are arranging things to do in Liyue Port these days, and will not come to watch the ceremony until everything is done.

"Is that so? Master Liuyun, would you please take us to the shipyard for a visit?"

"You have nothing to do, come with me!"

Under the guidance of Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, Han Xiao and his group passed through Mingyun Town, which was guarded by Qianyan Army, and arrived at the shipyard near the seaside dock.

As soon as they entered the shipyard, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to the huge steel beast in the center of the shipyard.

"What a majestic ship this is."

Looking at the huge hull with a cold light shining all over, Xingqiu raised his head and swallowed, his face full of shock.

Chapter 436: Imagination of a 10,000-ton giant ship

"Yes, this is the new generation of steel steamship designed by Han Xiao, Ben Xian and Abedo."

After all, the rest of this group of people are the designers of this ship and have long known the data of this ship, so Xingqiu alone does not know about it.

So seeing Xingqiu's shocked look, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun explained to him with great interest.

"The entire site is ninety-nine meters wide and sixty meters wide. The entire shell is made of steel, with a displacement of 1,500 tons."

"It's truly an unprecedented 'steel beast'!"

Listening to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's introduction to the data of the steel steamship, Xingqiu couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce itself also has many business contacts with other countries. As the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, even though he does not like business very much, he still has a certain understanding of his own business.

Naturally, he also knew that the Chamber of Commerce had a huge fleet and had seen it with his own eyes.

But compared with the steel behemoth in front of him, Xingqiu felt that those ships were simply weak.

At the same time, he also understood why Qixing chose to put down what he was doing and come to participate in the launching ceremony.

Because once this ship is put into use, those previous ships will probably be swept into the garbage heap of history.

Seeing Xingqiu's eyes full of shock, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng looked very satisfied.

She had a part of the credit for the design and construction of this steel steamship. How could she not be happy when she saw others being shocked by her joint work with Han Xiao and Albedo.

only...

Compared to Xingqiu, who was in shock, Han Xiao on the side frowned, rubbed his chin with his right hand, and muttered something softly.

"Only fifteen hundred tons?"

"Hanxiao, are you dissatisfied?"

Han Xiao's soliloquy was heard word for word by Albedo, who had a keen ear. He immediately turned his head and focused his gaze on the other person, and asked curiously.

You must know that this is a large ship with a displacement of 1,500 tons.

Liyue and Mondstadt had never had such a large displacement ship before.

Some time ago, Beidou transported grain from Guili City to Daozhi. It took an entire fleet to transport thousands of tons of grain.

Now this ship can reach a fleet. Logically speaking, Han Xiao should be happy, but why does he feel that the other party is not very satisfied?
