Thanks to Li He's support, the manned spacecraft mission that had been canceled was restarted, and the date was scheduled to be launched on October 5, and Li He also went to the Xichang Launch Center to check on his own affairs."
Director Lu, let me introduce, this is Director Li Heli, Director Li He, this is our director."
Director Lin introduced the two sides to each other."
Hahaha, I've heard about your director Li He's name for a long time, and today's meeting is really worthy of his reputation!"
Lu Xiangbin shook hands with Li He and said."
Director Lu, you have won the award, and I have only achieved a small and insignificant result."
Li He said."
The launch mission is about to start, let's go to the main control room and have a look!"
Lu Xiangbin led Li He to the main control room of the launch center."
We've had a total of 39 launches this year, four more than the opposite Merrican, and this is the 40th time, and it's our only manned flight this year."
Lu Xiangbin introduced.Li He listened to Li He's explanation while visiting the launch center, and nodded his head in agreement from time to time."
Speaking of which, thank you for that," Director Lu Xiangbin said."
Thank me?
I didn't do anything either?
”Li He was puzzled."
Haha, if it weren't for your fifteen million funds, this year's space mission would have come to an end."
Lu Xiangbin explained.Li He smiled modestly: "It's nothing, we just take what we need." ”"No," Lu Xiangbin waved his hand and said, "You don't understand, officially because of the gap you opened, the above has already considered allowing private funds to participate in the space exploration project." ”"Really?
Like Elon Musk?
”Li He didn't expect his actions to cause such a butterfly effect."
Almost, the space agency will give technical guidance, and will also open up cooperation between various aerospace universities and private enterprises, of course, these are still being discussed, don't disclose them."
Lu Xiangbin said."
Of course, I'm very tight-mouthed."
Li He assured.I don't know if my father-in-law has a chance to participate, Qingfeng Group has strong funds, go back and talk to him, Li He thought to himself.The spacecraft still has an hour to launch, and Li He is not in a hurry, drinking tea and chatting with Lu Xiangbin in the office.Although Li He is a science student with a bit of romanticism, he still has something to talk about when he meets an engineering man like Lu Xiangbin.Lu Xiangbin, 52 years old this year, has been the director of the space bureau for four years.Graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, once worked in Xifei, and later entered the aerospace field, starting from a staff member in the Space Bureau, step by step to today's position, it can be said that he has witnessed the development of the national aerospace industry.Li He listened to Lu Xiangbin talk about the past when he was young, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated, a wonderful life story is far more attractive than a wonderful movie.Li He even had an idea of whether he could make a biographical film in the future to record the contributions made by these national heroes to the aerospace industry.After chatting for a while, the launch mission was about to begin.It was the first time that Li He had watched the launch of a spacecraft from such an angle.In his previous life, he was fortunate enough to see it once, but it was on the sidelines, watching the Long March rocket take off into the air and gradually disappear from view, and that feeling was still very amazing.This is the first time to watch a rocket launch at the launch center, and I don't care about him, a famous director, watching the people around me busy.Li He suddenly felt that although he had thousands of fans and made one good movie after another, he was not important to the world.You are only making a small achievement on this planet, and you must not be complacent."
Enter the countdown for 30 seconds" sounded in the main control room.The three astronauts have entered the spacecraft, firmly resting on their seats, nervously waiting for the rocket to launch.Flying is no trivial matter, let alone space flight, and there is no room for a flaw, the explosion of the famous space shuttle Columbia, and the failure of the Apollo 13 lunar exploration mission, are all chain reactions caused by a little mistake.Among them, the story of Apollo 13 was put on the big screen, directed by the famous director Lang Howard, starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks, and the film has achieved a good reputation.Li He's space film initiation was not Kubrick's 2001 space odyssey, but Lang Howard's Apollo XIII, which aroused Li He's yearning for space for the first time.Everyone had a dream when they were young, to be a scientist, a policeman, or a teacher, and Li He's dream when he was a child was to be an astronaut.It's just that this dream didn't come true, and I ended up becoming a director.But it doesn't matter, you can't go to space, you can shoot your own space movies, and you can experience that feeling."10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 ignited, launched", "the rocket lift-off attitude is normal", "navigation and orientation are normal", "the first-stage separation is now started", "the separation is successful", and the rocket fuel is exhausted, and the rest depends on the spacecraft's own power.After a successful launch, there was jubilation in the main control room, and there are not many manned space missions every year, and this year is the first time."
Congratulations, Director Lu, on the successful launch."
Li He and Lu Xiangbin shook hands."
Haha, I also want to congratulate you, the sponsorship was not in vain."
Lu Xiangbin laughed."
Just help me bring the film down, and I'll be satisfied."
Li He said."
Don't worry, this space mission will last for three days, and I will come back in three days, and I will send someone to you when the time comes."
Lu Xiangbin assured."
That's good, thank you so much.""
You're welcome" After watching the rocket launch, Li He returned to the crew to continue filming.This time, the scenes were mainly in the spaceship and the space station, in addition to making models, the crew also built real scenes so that the actors could play.Li He, the script of gravity, has also been revised during the filming process, and several unreasonable places have been changed as much as possible.Of course, movies are movies after all, and there are still places where there is artistic expression.Zhou Xun is also a spiritual actor, and sometimes he will play on the spot.Li He will keep what he thinks is good, and then discuss the effect with Zhou Xun."
Here you have to imagine that you have just escaped from danger, you have lost your captain in the crisis just now, and you escaped to the space station with your life, imagine that feeling."
Li He took the script and told Zhou Xun to play.Zhou Xun thought for a moment and asked: "Just like the birth of a baby, it represents the hope of life?"
”"That's right, let's do it again" "OK" Zhou Xun put on his spacesuit with help and quickly got ready.Li He shouted with a megaphone: "All departments are ready, ready to start." ”"Photography ready", "Lights ready", "Props are no problem", "Costumes are no problem", "Okay, one, two, three, start" Zhou Xun entered the International Space Station, at this time the oxygen was already insufficient, and if it was delayed for another two minutes, it would be completely buried in space.Quickly took off the spacesuit, Zhou Xun hugged each other, like the feeling of a baby in the mother's womb, and then stretched his body, representing a new life.From this moment on, the heroine's will to survive is completely firm, and no matter what kind of difficulties she can't overcome."
Click, okay, this one is over, let's take a break and shoot the next one."
Li He shouted.Filming is a hassle, made up of shots stitched together, and sometimes it's common to shoot a shot for a day or even a week.Especially for a big production like gravity, we must pay great attention to it, and Li He does not dare to be sloppy at all.
