"We also know you don't like that scene."

"But those guys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that these things need to be published in newspapers and news, so they can only be arranged."

"But don't worry, you won't encounter such a thing in Maoxiong Country again."

Hearing this, Ye Heng was relieved, but he still had to do his best on the surface.

"It's okay, it's actually pretty good."

A few minutes later, they arrived at a hotel.

This hotel is exactly the one that Ye Heng stayed in when he came to Maoxiong Country to accept the award.

"I'm sorry Director Ye Heng, but I have something to do, so I can't accompany you, but we have already arranged people, and they will take care of everything for you."

Ye Heng nodded, "It's okay, I understand."

The person who was directly sent by the emperor to pick him up probably has a high rank in the army, so it is really unnecessary to waste time with him.

After the old man left, a boy from Mao Xiongguo brought Ye Heng and Qian Jun's luggage to the room and arranged everything for them.

"Tonight, I will invite you two to stay here for one night. Tomorrow, the Emperor will go with you to the set up."

The young man Mao Xiongguo was talking beside him, and Qian Jun was beside him to translate.

After everyone from Mao Xiongguo had passed by, only Ye Heng and Qian Jun were left in the room, and Qian Jun couldn't help chatting with Ye Heng again.

"Director Ye, I heard that Mao Xiongguo spent 3 to 4 years for this set, and also customized a lot of costumes, even pardoned some former nobles from prison, and taught the actors noble etiquette. "

"With Mao Xiongguo's financial resources, it is really surprising that he is willing to spend so much money to make a movie."

Ye Heng smiled slightly, "Perhaps this movie has special meaning to them."

"Special meaning? What's the meaning?" Qian Jun looked at Ye Heng curiously.

But Ye Heng just shrugged, "I don't know."

After dinner, Ye Heng put on a mask and went outside for a stroll.

When he came to the store where he bought the book, he unexpectedly found that the original bookstore was gone, replaced by a mobile phone store.

Ye Heng looked up at the mobile phone store in front of him, sighed, turned and left.

At this time, he couldn't help but looked up and looked around again, only then did he realize that a lot of changes seemed to have taken place here compared to a few years ago.

Although he only stayed here for a few days at the beginning, he still has intentions for this place.

But after all these years, it seems to be normal.

Ye Heng still remembers that when he was in Baiqi Country, when he passed the third year, even the model of the train was changed. Although the old place was still the same, things had already changed.

After that, Ye Heng didn't hang around anymore, and went straight back to the hotel.

Early the next morning, the two people from Mao Xiongguo drove Ye Heng out of Moscow yesterday.

After waiting for another two hours in the car, Ye Heng suddenly saw a huge city not far away.

It is a building that does not belong to this era, and it exudes a unique charm, the kind of charm that only exists in the long river of history and textbooks.

Even Qian Jun who was at the side couldn't help being in awe.

"Besides Moscow, dozens of miles away, there is still a Moscow, a Moscow of the 17th century."

Qian Jun said with a smile on his face, feeling delighted about all this.

"Do you know these things well?" Ye Heng couldn't help asking.

A smile appeared on Qian Jun's face, "You are not the only one who can read those books. I started learning foreign languages ​​just to read the original editions of those classics."

"You know, no matter how good a translator is, there is no way to translate the charm of the text, so learning a foreign language to read it yourself is the best choice."

Not long after, the car drove slowly to the gate of the city.

When everyone got out of the car, they saw the emperor standing there waiting for them.

"Ye Heng, you're here."

As the emperor spoke, Qian Jun beside him was translating.

"This majestic and beautiful city has been reborn." The emperor continued.

Ye Heng nodded. This city is indeed majestic and beautiful.

And it may be because it has just been built and no one lives in it. Everything in the city is so spotless.

It's like a city that only appears in dreams.

"This city has replaced the most beautiful city I can imagine," Ye Heng said.

There was a satisfied smile on the emperor's face when he heard this.

"This is my literary consultant this time, Mr. Chekhov. He has done research on the contents of the book. The construction of the city and the production of props are based on him and several other consultants."

The emperor pushed out an old man in his fifties.

The old man smiled at Ye Heng.

"Hi Mr. Chekhov."

"Hi Director Ye, now let me introduce to you the preparations we have made for this shooting."

Then, Chekov introduced Ye Heng.

"For the production of the movie, we prepared 9000 sets of costumes, 12000 tall military caps, and 20000 buttons. The military factory produced French-style weapons as they were, and the crowd scenes mobilized the strength of two armies, more than 15000 soldiers."

"In addition, the military will also dispatch military fighter planes and helicopters to take aerial panoramic views."

“该片所有拍摄用战马由毛熊国农业部统一调配。战争场面准备了了23吨炸药、44万公升煤油、15000枚手榴弹、2000只爆破筒以及1500发炮弹。”

"In order to restore the war scenes, we set up a very high, liftable elevated, and the elevated 200 meters long, the top can be rotated, which ensures a comprehensive view of the camera."

"In addition, we can also provide about 30 extras."

Although he had been prepared for a long time, when he really heard these words, Ye Heng still fell into a huge shock.

Chapter 386

Mao Xiongguo's support is no longer a simple aid. If converted into money, it may cost tens of billions of dollars!

Willing to spend such a huge amount of money to make a movie, it seems that they really value this project.

"All domestic actors have also been mobilized by us, but they will arrive tomorrow."

"So the casting may start tomorrow, and today I will take director Ye Heng to visit here."

As Chekov said, he brought Ye Heng and Qian Jun around the city and introduced each place to Ye Heng in detail.

"In order to build this city, the emperor asked the most famous historian in the country to compare them one by one, and then designed the blueprint."

"Although there are many records of Moscow, few of them can be recorded meticulously,"

"Because there are really no records in many places, we can only rely on us to reason bit by bit."

While talking, Chekov told Ye Heng the stories of those buildings.

After talking for a full two hours, the accompanying people were a little impatient, but Chekov spoke in a positive spirit.

In the end, if the emperor hadn't sent someone over to let a few people go back, I'm afraid he could still talk to Ye Heng for a few hours.

When he returned to the emperor, Ye Heng saw the old man who picked him up at the airport yesterday.

"Ye Heng, this is General Staff, you met yesterday."

Ye Heng was stunned for a moment, General, he didn't expect such a high status.

"General Stave." Ye Heng stretched out his hand and shook Stave's hand.

"According to what you said before, in order to restore the war scene as much as possible, we will directly lend you the army."

"And during filming, if there is anything that needs to be dispatched to the army, you can tell Stav directly."

"As long as it's not an order to launch a nuclear bomb, he will agree to you."

Everyone present couldn't help laughing.

"I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I can't stay here for too long."

"But I'll still find time to come over and take a look later."

Having said this, the emperor looked at Ye Heng with a smile on his face.

"Afterwards, I will trouble you about the filming."

Ye Heng smiled and nodded, "Never let me down!"

The emperor left with several accompanying officials.

Apart from the soldiers, only Ye Heng, Qian Jun, Chekhov and Stav were left in the city.

"Mr. Ye Heng, in order to prevent you from traveling between two places, we have arranged a residence for you in the city." Chekov said.

Hearing this, Ye Heng couldn't help being taken aback.

"In this city?"

"Yes, it's in this city."

Ye Heng followed Chekov.

Ten minutes later, they came to a gorgeous palace.

"This is the palace where princes and nobles lived in the 17th century. We cleaned and decorated one of them for you to live in."

As Chekhov said, he pushed the door open, and inside was a gorgeously decorated room, with all the necessary daily necessities also available.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Heng couldn't help being a little surprised.

"The actors filming in the city have all arranged rooms, which can ensure that our filming goes on smoothly and quickly. Of course, they don't live here." Chekov explained.

Ye Heng nodded and walked to the window to look out.

Just in time, I saw a man who looked like a soldier walking up the stairs and opening the door of a room.

He walked in, and before the door closed, Ye Heng saw the furniture and decorations inside, it seemed that they had lived in it for a while.

"Then what are you going to do with this city after the movie is over?"

Chekov froze for a moment, then explained to Ye Heng.

"Now there are three plans in China. The first is to dismantle them directly."

"Demolish!" Ye Heng looked at Chekov in surprise.

Chekov nodded, "We considered that in order to restore the plot in the original book, there may be a scene of burning the city."

"If the special effects can't achieve enough effect, then just set the city on fire."

"If you want to repair it at that time, I'm afraid the cost will be enough to build another one, so it's better to demolish it directly."

Hearing this, Ye Heng looked out of the window again, looking at this beautiful city, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

The Soviet Union at the beginning seemed to be burned down after the filming of "War and Peace". Although the effect presented was really great, it still made people feel distressed.

But now, maybe Ye Heng can change this strategy a little bit.

He has the world's top special effects team in his hands, so it's not a big problem to make a special effect of burning the city.

It's just that it might cost more money, Ye Heng would rather spend the money to make the special effects himself than burn the city down.

"What about the remaining two plans?" Ye Heng couldn't help asking again.

"The remaining two options are tourism and residence."

"After all, if the movie becomes popular, the city will surely follow suit. By then, there will definitely be tourists coming here from all over the world, which can increase the income of Maoxiong Country."

"The last living plan is to sell the houses here, but there is no conflict between this and the second plan, and they can be implemented together."

"The most controversial thing now is the first plan, burning the city."

Ye Heng nodded, expressing his understanding.

It cost tens of billions of dollars to build a city, and then burned it down after making a movie.

Although it is noble to sacrifice for art, it is expensive to directly burn a city.

Ye Heng likes this city, and hopes that more people will come to see this city.
