Chapter 1048: Focus on the Middle East IV
According to the order issued by Wu Chen, the Navy Command began the transfer plan of the new territory, sending two Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, two Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, two Akula-class attack nuclear submarines, four Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, as well as three Yankee-class cruise missile nuclear submarines and one Yankee-class attack nuclear submarine to form a powerful nuclear submarine formation to Socotra Island.
At the same time, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, an Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship, a Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, two Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, four Spruance-class missile destroyers, four Perry-class frigates, four Krivac-class frigates, and two Austin-class dock landing ships, as well as a Marshal Krylov reconnaissance ship, came to the port of Socotra one after another, and the lineup was very shocking.
A nuclear submarine formation and a warship formation of this size, together with a fighter formation at the Socotra military airfield, are fully capable of delivering devastating strikes against aircraft carrier battle groups, which also shows that the mercenary corps attaches great importance to this strategic location and can blockade this sea area at any time.
It doesn't matter if the mercenary navy is big moves, adding defense forces to their own territories, which is also understandable, the strategic importance of the Socotra Islands is extremely important, no matter how much attention is paid to it, it is also as it should be.
However, the great move of the Russian Navy has confused the situation on the Arabian Peninsula and attracted the eyes of the whole world. The focus of the U.S. government immediately shifted from the battlefield in Afghanistan to the aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, the destination of which was the Tartus naval base in Syria.
As long as the Russian Government makes the slightest move, it will immediately arouse the vigilance of the US Government, and this is no longer news, and the US Navy immediately activated an emergency plan and began to increase its forces in the Mediterranean region, and urgently sailed the battle group centered on the USS Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the USS Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the Naples naval base in Italy.
"The Russian government has diverted the attention of the U.S. government from Kabul and Jalalabad, and the sneak attacks in Kabul and Jalalabad are to be launched quickly, telling Eric to accomplish my strategic goal and drag Australia and Canada into the pit first, and then Japan and European countries." Wu Chen called Thompson in Kyoto, China.
Unconsciously half of the year is about to pass, Wu Chen's heart is full of emotion, this time back to Kyoto is of course for the movie, after a few months of preparation, "Myth" and "Kyoto Meets Seattle" crew completed the preliminary preparations, these two films are the main projects of the year, as the screenwriter, director and boss, of course he must rush back as soon as possible.
"Myth" is naturally starring Cheng Long and Kim Hee-sun, and Rhea also participated in the filming of this movie, Wu Chen means that through this co-production movie, he wants to deepen the run-in between the Huaxia branch, South Korea and Bollywood branch, all of which belong to Atlantis International Film and Television Group, and resources are to be shared.
"Kyoto Meets Seattle" is too early in terms of time, the heroine has not debuted yet, but it doesn't matter, this is not an irreplaceable role, Huaxia Branch has actresses, Xu Qing, Shuangbin, Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Tao are all good, if you want to talk about acting, Zhou Xun, Xu Jinglei, Sun Li and Zhang Jingchu are all outstanding.
"Kim Hee-sun from the South Korean branch and Rhea from the Bollywood branch are very beautiful and temperamental, and it is said that the relationship with the boss is very close, and the Huaxia branch didn't get one of the important roles in this movie, so you representatives of the group of Chinese actresses, can't you give us a fight?" Xu Zheng said secretly.
"Then what do you want us to do, take the initiative to go to the boss's room and recommend a pillow seat? The filming of "Myth" this time is the cooperation of three film branches of Huaxia, Yindu and South Korea, and who will play what role has long been decided by the boss. Fan Binbin gave him a blank look.
Fools can see that Rhea and Kim Hee-sun, two beautiful girls, have an extremely close relationship with their bosses, which also arouses the envy of a large group of actresses in Huaxia Branch, but Wu Chen is very concerned about his reputation in Huaxia, and they are helpless about it.
"The boss originally wanted to hand over this film to other directors to shoot, but after thinking twice, he decided to direct it himself, "Myth" will become a commercial production of historical mythology containing Chinese style, with Hollywood production teams responsible for special effects, with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, which is the highlight of this year, and will definitely participate in next year's Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film." Liu Yunlong said with a smile that he will play the role of the second male lead in the movie, that is, a scientist.
"The actor of "Kyoto Meets Seattle" is Wu Xiubo, but the heroine and supporting actress have not been determined, this is a series of movies, there are many to shoot, and the heroine is not the only one, I think you should fight for it, especially a few younger ones, this time the opportunity is greater, and the boss may take into account the continuity of the movie." Zhang Jiayi said with a smile, he played the black hand of tomb robbery and smuggling in "Mythology".
Wu Chen does mean this, the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" have achieved amazing good results, and he has this idea, since those fantasy, adventure and action movies in the West are so popular with fans from all over the world, there is no shortage of this kind of theme in China, and "Mythology" is also his first test of the waters, and he wants to take this movie to Hollywood to meet the reaction.
After Wu Chen made a decision, he immediately increased the cost of "Myth" from 20 million US dollars to 100 million US dollars, and became a real commercial production, of which about 40% of the investment was the production cost of computer special effects.
Cheng Long must be a strong supporter of Wu Chen's idea, he has always wanted to cooperate with a super director, since Wu Chen wants to create a commercial production that integrates action, plot, adventure, costumes, etc., this is an opportunity for him.
Kim Hee-sun and Rhee-ya are naturally very happy that they can participate in such a big production, this is an important opportunity to enter the international film industry, and there is no doubt that the films shot by Wu Chen are all screened worldwide. They both have a special relationship with Wu Chen, Ruiya said it earlier, and Kim Hee-sun only had this relationship when Wu Chen was on vacation in the Maldives last year.
