401.Chapter 401
Li Hongzhang's gift inspired Tang Ning, obviously there was a broad road to wealth in front of him, but he did not cherish it - the Windsor Empire, which monopolized the high seas, could discover the treasures of the sea.
In ancient times, there were two very important shipping routes, one was the Maritime Silk Road from China to Southeast Asia and Europe; There was also a route between Europe and the Americas during the Age of Discovery. Limited by underdeveloped seafaring technology and unpredictability of the weather, a large number of merchant ships sank on these two routes.
At the beginning of Downing's era, seafaring technology was still very primitive, and all the ships were trading with their heads in their hands. It is conceivable that these unfortunate sunken merchant ships were all loaded with the most valuable goods of the time, otherwise there would be no need to take such a risk.
If it is to transport sugar and spices, which were very valuable at the time but are not very valuable now, then they will be pulled down, but there are many that can still be preserved very well after the sinking of the ship, such as: porcelain, gold, silver and jewelry, etc. Downing's invention of the world's only semicolon "Undersea Carriage" will play a key role in the treasure hunt.
In fact, in addition to the kind that sank to a depth of several thousand meters, there are also a large number of ships that sink to a depth of tens of meters, which is completely within the capabilities of the fish-catching equipment invented by Tang Ning in Osaka.
In order to improve efficiency, Downing immediately came to the re-emphatic criterion for distinguishing man-made objects from natural objects: natural objects have almost no straight lines, which is the core of algorithms for efficient shipwreck discovery. Again, it's best to simulate the route of a sailboat.
An expert in the history of science once said that once technology appears, it will never disappear, and he won again, and Boss Tang is going to recruit sailing experts to simulate these two waterways, so that his exploration route will not be too far from the ancient ships.
He also found a shipwreck expert to build a shipwreck simulation room, and even put thousands of shipwrecks in a huge real room, placed in various postures, as a place for program testing. And, of course, there is one more important parameter: metal.
One of the most important man-made objects is that there will be some metal objects in the wreck, and if you grasp this, the seabed exploration will be smoother.
In order to hide the sights and ears, Downing put the project under the name of the Global Exploration Company. Ostensibly to explore the landforms of the ocean, but in fact a lot of work has been done to discover treasures.
Boss Tang is now operating in two lines, preparing to shoot a big drama while preparing to dig up a big treasure. Here, his big drama has already set up the leading actors with excellent acting skills. The Three Kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty continue to have technical characteristics to join, and it is also necessary to make some articles about the self-proclaimed mention of "the 800,000 square meters of the Imabari Water Army and the general will hunt in Wu" in the romance.
According to historians' estimates, in fact, Cao Cao's army was between three or four hundred thousand, so it could be counted as 350,000. And these 350,000 troops are actually a large number of civilians in charge of logistics, and real soldiers are counted as 80,000. Director Tang is making a movie, not a documentary, so he has to come up with a number.
Looking at it this way, in fact, the gap between the Cao army and the Wushu coalition army will not be so big, otherwise a small force will be sent to fight a dozen every day, and the Wushu coalition army will be consumed.
Because the people are so important, Liu Bei did not forget to take the people of Xinye County with him when he fled, which was disguised as benevolence and righteousness by literary scholars. However, the Three Kingdoms of the Tang Clan wanted to shoot the scene where Liu Bei's army was coaxed and deceived and added leather whips and candles to drive the people to flee together.
Perhaps the most subversive point is the filming of Prime Minister Zhuge Qishan, when the prime minister, in order to deal with the Wei state, which was much stronger than himself, drove almost all the adult men of the Shu state - tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in each northern expedition.
Every Northern Expedition had to describe every street and alley, and the people of every village used the most vicious language to curse the first appearance of the ages described in the romance.
The strength of the Shu State where Zhuge Wuhou is located is the weakest, but he wants to go to the Northern Expedition to the Great Wei in the name of Han orthodoxy. When the technology of the belligerents is about the same, the most important thing in fighting a war is to look at the population, not only the army, but also the logistics, so in the final analysis, it is the population.
The total population of Shu is 940,000, and even Eastern Wu is far inferior (2.3 million), and even less than Wei (4.43 million).
The sub-director below Director Tang finally gradually understood, the chief director is to shoot a horror war film in this era of nearly 8 million people, where almost all adult men have participated in the war, the scene must be big, and the fight must be tragic, one word: true.
patting and patting, Director Tang marked this film as eighteen bans, because the children would be very unhappy when they saw it. It seems to be a story without heroes. It should be said that without a hero of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it is impossible for a person like Liu Bei in Romance to survive in troubled times.
In the end, the role played by the most beautiful Mo Xiangxue girl in the play is not the familiar Diao Chan, this character is not found in the official history, and there is only a record of Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's maid fornicating in the official history. Director Tang didn't plan to shoot Diao Chan at all. It's not Xiao Qiao, there is only one sentence in "Three Kingdoms" "The two Qiao are both national colors", which is not enjoyable. Even the romance did not describe the details of Xiao Qiao's beauty.
What exactly do you play for the most beautiful female character? In the process of filming a large number of war scenes, Director Tang finally found a subversive role - Mrs. Qin. At that time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two great heroes, jointly besieged the great enemy LΓΌ Buyu in Xiabillet City.
Mrs. Qin's husband Qin Yilu was an important figure under Lu Bu, and was sent by Lu Bu as an envoy to meet Yuan Shu. Poor Mrs. Qin (Du Shi) became an ex-wife at this time, and she still has a baby.
At this time, Du Shi became a "masterless beauty" because of Qin Yilu's "no return", how pitiful he was, he was caught by Guan Erye, in line with the principle of first-come, first-served, Guan Erye asked Mr. Cao, saying: "My wife has not been able to give me a son so far, so I am thinking about finding another wife, and I have already found Qin Yilu's wife in Xiabillet City, please let Mr. Cao give her to me." β
Guan Erye said it reasonably, and Mr. Cao agreed. At that time, the siege of the city was very difficult, Mr. Cao didn't seem to take this kind of trivial matter to heart, and on the day of entering the city, Guan Erye was afraid that Mr. Cao would forget this stubble, and at the critical moment, he deliberately ran to Mr. Cao and emphasized again, "Yilu's wife was promised to me by Mr. Cao, don't forget it." β
At this time, the most difficult moment of battle has passed, and according to Cao's virtue of beating rabbits with grass, he can't help but be curious about this woman who Guan Erye never forgets. Guan Erye, a generation of military gods, is actually a very scheming person, and such a person is so attentive to a woman, which is enough to attract Cao Cao's attention.
Cao Cao went to see the Du family after entering the city, and he was really beautiful, so beautiful that Cao Cao forgot about his husband's promise, you must know that he is very fond of General Guan. One can imagine how much of Du's allure to Master Cao was.
Qin Yilu was willing to abandon his wife, was it because he was tired of Du's beauty? It's really not necessarily, this person is special and has no opinions, everyone else believes everything, and later he surrendered to Cao Cao, but he was also lured by Zhang Fei to rebel against Lord Cao on the grounds of "the hatred of taking his wife".
After reversing Cao, he regretted it again, and was killed by Zhang Fei. Look at the fate of Du's in turn. Cao Cao was very fond of her, and once said to his guests: "Is there anyone in the world who loves his stepson like me?" "The mother was adopted, and Qin Yilu's son Qin Lang became Cao Cao's adopted son.
In fact, it is Cao Cao and Cao Rui who trust Qin Lang very much, it can be seen that Cao Cao's love for this stepson is true love, and it is estimated that it all originates from the Du family of that country. Even after Qin Yilu's rebellion, he failed to reduce Cao Cao's favor, how charming this Du clan is.
Based on these analyses, Director Tang gave Miss Mo to play this legendary beauty. Presumably, in the eyes of rationalists, such a plot is unexpected, reasonable, and full of subversion. The Romance School, which takes Shu Han as the orthodox, will never let this kind of historical details that tarnish the reputation of the saints be exaggerated, so the heavy task of restoring the historical truth will be handed over to our Director Tang.
As soon as this emotional drama came out, all the crew regarded Director Tang as a bad director. Only Lin Feier likes this paragraph very much, worthy of being Director Tang's own apprentice, and especially likes to tear apart the hypocritical gentleman and villain view in traditional culture. In fact, Lin Fei knows much more about the Three Kingdoms than Tang Ning, and many of the plots were changed by Lin Fei after reading the script.
For example, a more important view of Zhuge Liang's "Bagua Array", Director Tang originally disagreed, and he didn't know where Director Lin got his research, saying that he understood the essence of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's formation. This gossip array is a formation invented by the Shu army for the lack of war horses to restrain cavalry.
According to the analysis of various historical materials, the most powerful cavalry of Wei was likely to scatter the infantry-based Shu army with a single impact, so the prime minister tried his best to come up with a way to avoid its edge. The prime minister divided the super army of left, center and right into dozens of small legions, each of which has the best defense and attack power.
Defense, which refers to the first row of standing shieldmen, followed by soldiers with Changge, ring-headed knives and repeaters. When the cavalry was unstoppable, the two small legions gave way to a narrow passage for the cavalry to pass, and when the enemy rushed in, the Changge, hiding behind the shields, stabbed the riders, and the swords cut off the enemy's exposed horses.
If this formation is practiced well, it will be no less than a meat grinder for the northern cavalry. There is entry and exit, life and death, no wonder Luo Guanzhong wants to describe the Bagua Array so godly, and almost wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a Journey to the West.
Because of Director Kobayashi's love for Chinese culture and his unique insights on the combination of modern military technology, he was appointed by Director Tang as one of the sub-directors who filmed the big scenes of the war. Since then, Director Lin has often rushed from Seoul to Beijing to film for a day, which is a very happy time to rest and get together with Director Tang
