Chapter 1558 Real scene shooting
"What! You are going to blow up this ship in the end!" The factory manager stood up suddenly and looked at Lawrence in disbelief.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Lawrence still smiled.
"I won't sell this ship anymore, we won't sell this ship!" The factory manager said loudly, and even the vodka didn't seem to want to drink it. Although the factory manager was a very bastard, the big ship was built step by step after all, almost like his children.
Now you tell him that the final fate of this big ship that has not been completely completed is actually used as a filming prop for the movie, completely blown to pieces and sink to the bottom of the sea, the factory manager was a little broken.
"Sir, you can go!" Lawrence's voice floated from afar. "But you have to think clearly. We are the only ones in the world who are willing to pay $60 million to buy this ship. Once you reject us, we will never have the chance to meet again!"
"..." The factory manager stopped. Now there are thousands of employees in the shipyard, waiting to be fed. Some of them have not opened a company for three years, and the whole family is looking for food in the garbage dump.
"Mr. Manager, if we don't buy this ship, the fate of this ship will eventually be rusted on the ship's platform and then dismantled as scrap iron!" Lawrence said coldly. "Compared with such a fate, it's better to sell it to us and die vigorously. For a big ship, his best ending is actually to sink into the cold seabed, so that even millions of years later, future generations can find him at the seabed."
"It's much better than being dismantled as scrap iron and melted into a pile of iron ingots, and completely disappeared at this point."
"Hey..." The factory director sighed deeply, but the man came back after all. He looked at Lawrence powerlessly and said in a weak voice, "You are really willing to pay 60 million to buy our ship?"
"Not bad!" Lawrence nodded, then sighed again. "Actually, we don't want to spend so much money to buy a ship, but the reason why the Titanic is so popular is because the goods really hit a ship, and we can only do so, otherwise we won't be able to sell much box office!"
"In fact, it would be cheaper to go to Chinese people to customize, but we need to be urgent. The shooting will start before June 1999, so now we must confirm the ship and then transport it to our American port for modification and become the appearance of the enterprise in the past. All of these have to be completed before June. We are very nervous, so we can only give you some discounts!"
"Anyway, in a word, are you willing to sell 60 million?" Lawrence asked simply.
"We sell!" The factory manager nodded helplessly. "If you want to get the boat immediately, you must pay the bill immediately, otherwise we will not let it go!"
"This is no problem!" Lawrence nodded and said, "Also, the complete set of drawings must be handed over to us!"
"What do you want to do with drawings?" The factory director was stunned.
"Of course it's for the convenience of modification. Without drawings, how dare we make random modifications!" Lawrence said naturally.
"But, this drawing is confidential and we have no right..."
"Mr. Factory Manager, do we Americans still look at the technology from the 1980s? We are all ready for electromagnetic catapults!" Lawrence showed a sarcastic smile. "Okay, the drawings must be given to us. After all, this thing still needs to be sailed on the sea. Without drawings, we cannot modify it!"
"Okay..." The factory manager nodded. Indeed, this big ship was actually started to be built in the 1980s. It has been almost 15 years since now. With the skills of the Americans, they really don't look down on it.
Besides, they are Ermao now, and the drawings are Damao. Even if they really leak any secrets, it is Damao's secret and has nothing to do with Ermao.
On the contrary, Ermao is eager to see Damao suffer all kinds of defeats!
"By the way, can you still get aircraft carrier training information, flight records, combat records, combat logs and other things?" Lawrence asked again.
"Yes!" The factory manager nodded. Because the design and manufacturing of aircraft carriers must be based on the standard of convenience of combat, the ship will collect a lot of practical information and then conduct new designs. He does have some of the combat information accumulated by SL's decades of aircraft carrier combat.
But the question is, what do they want these things for one of their movie crew?
"A large part of our movie plot is used to reflect the daily life of crew members, so we need these daily information to arrange the scenes and arrange the daily plots. There are also various details during battles, some combat habits, etc. Our crew needs to refine our scenes and scripts. We have to shoot according to the standards of a century-old classic movie!" Lawrence's words made the factory director respect him. This is professional. No wonder American movies are so successful. Now even many Ermao people like it very much.
"But, I don't have the right to take out these materials..."
"10,000 US dollars, 10,000 US dollars belonging to you"
"No problem, I will give you the original!" The factory director immediately agreed. Since the separation, Ermao has been in chaos now. No one cared about these originally classified documents, and no one cared about them even if they were lost.
After all, the Ermao family even lost several tactical nuclear bombs back then, and no one was punished. Can't we find out anything?
Moreover, Ermao had no idea of developing a navy at all. These things were just a pile of toilet paper in Ermao's house. It would be better to let him exchange some money, which would be considered as a way to make the best use of them!
"You are such a wise man!" Lawrence grinned.
"By the way, do you need a coach?" the factory manager suddenly asked.
"What coach?" Lawrence was stunned for a moment.
"It's just a coach who teaches you how to take off on a big ship!" said the factory director. "I know a few people. They were all ace pilots on the ship back then. Each of them had tens of thousands of hours of flight time on the ship. Each of them was a top player. One of them was a captain who had been a big ship! He was a SL hero!"
"If you want to shoot a perfect movie and restore a naval battle, you will definitely need these professionals to guide you. After all, no matter how much information you have in your hands, it is not as good as tens of thousands of hours of experience. They may be able to correct many of your mistakes with just one word of advice!" said the factory director.
"So..." Lawrence blinked, and then said, "This matter is not in my plan. I need to ask our director for instructions, you can wait!"
Immediately afterwards, Lawrence called, explained the situation, and then hung up the phone. Lawrence smiled and said, "No problem, our director agreed. You can contact these people. Then take the boat and set off with us!"
