Chapter 168

"Oh right, we invited several experts from the Military Museum."

"They will be responsible for reviewing weapons and equipment to avoid any major loopholes."

"Also, there should be quite a few explosion scenes in this filming, right?"

"And there should be some temporary buildings that need to be built?"

"We have already arranged a unit of combat engineers specifically responsible for these tasks."

"There will absolutely be no mistakes!"

"Additionally, we have also studied the script; there should be a need for quite a few cavalrymen, right?"

"We coordinated with the Northern Theater Command and borrowed two cavalry companies from them."

"Specifically responsible for acting as cavalry extras, and by the way, to serve as the crew's equestrian instructors."

"However, our army's cavalry is too few, so we can't fully..."

"Enough!" Su Meng jumped up and held Liu Ruiming's hand tightly.

"Staff Officer Liu, the military's support for us this time is really too great!"

"If I don't film this show well, I would simply become a sinner through the ages!"

"How about... you discuss with your superiors and send fewer people?"

"You sent so many people... I really don't know how to repay you!"

Liu Ruiming shook his hand and laughed.

"Director Su is too polite."

"If you film this show well and recreate that moving history, that is the greatest reward for us!"

"Besides, our mobilizing so many people can actually be considered an alternative military exercise."

Military exercise?

Su Meng was stunned again.

This is just filming a show, how did it get involved with a military exercise?

Liu Ruiming laughed.

"Although the battlefield this time is for acting, it is also a battle between the Eastern Theater Command and the Northern Theater Command, so it naturally counts as a confrontation exercise."

"And the mobilization of so many people, traveling thousands of miles to film, is also a transfer training."

"During the filming, we will definitely be stationed in the field, so consider it field training."

"Since it's a war, there will inevitably be bumps and bruises, so medical support must keep up, right?"

"And thousands of people eating and horses chewing, it's also a workout for logistical support..."

"Wait wait wait!" Su Meng felt a jolt and quickly interrupted him.

"You said it's also a workout for logistical support, you wouldn't be thinking... thinking..."

An incredible thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Liu Ruiming looked at him strangely and nodded.

"That's for sure, these thousands of people need to eat, right?"

"Troops and horses move, food and fodder go first."

"Just the cooking squad alone will need a dozen or so sent over..."

Oh my god... Su Meng really couldn't help it and sat down on the chair with a thud.

Just a moment ago I said CCTV people just need to be fed.

You guys are better, you really brought your own dry rations to work?

No, no, let me sort this out.

I seemed to have only been angry that someone was tarnishing the image of the martyrs, so I wanted to film "Bright Sword".

But now... it actually involved three major theater commands?

And actually turned my show into a military exercise for the troops?

I just wanted to be a director, why does it feel like I'm directing a military exercise now?

Uh... speaking of which, Feilu seems to have a military novel where the protagonist is specifically in the army directing military exercises.

Called something like "Let You Be a Director, You Go to the Army to Direct Military Exercises?".

Seems pretty good...

Su Meng's brain was buzzing, and his thoughts had already drifted off to who knows where.

……

"What to do? We can't spend this 100 million!"

Duan Duan Jiangping looked melancholy.

"In the past, when filming, I was always worried about not having enough budget."

"But now? I'm actually worried that the budget is too much!"

"According to the current situation, I made a rough calculation."

"If Su Meng can spend 20 million, I'll count you as a spendthrift!"

Sister Qin was also full of sorrow, shaking her head and sighing.

"In the past, I always complained that there wasn't enough money, but now I complain that there's too much."

"Sigh... I finally lived into the shape I hated the most..."

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling didn't care and just smiled.

"Actually, it's nothing, we just need to film well."

"The military leaders are not fools."

"Since they did this, there must be a reason."

"Just like they said, this is just an alternative training."

"And haven't you noticed?"

"After Shi Shi Shi Dazhi and the others had a fight with Su Meng and read the script, the spirit of the whole team is different."

"This show can also be considered a rare baptism for these participating troops."

Su Meng had also calmed down a lot by now.

"Bai Bai Xiaoling is right."

"They stated their attitude from the beginning, they are just here to be extras and won't interfere with our filming work."

"We can just proceed as normal."

"As for you complaining about too much money... isn't spending money easy?"

"Just don't let the boss and Sister Qin feel bad about it later."

"But speaking of which, it's a bit numb, I really just wanted to film a TV series at the beginning."

"I really don't want to command thousands of troops to direct a military exercise."

"Sigh..."

He shook his head, looking melancholy.

This expression made the other few people have an urge to beat him up instantly.

……

On the internet, it was completely chaotic.

After Su Meng bombarded the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV had been silent.

But strangely, Su Meng, who had always been very active on the internet, also suddenly disappeared.

There were already quite a few rumors online.

Some said he was frozen by Xinghai Entertainment.

Some said CCTV had already taken action in secret and banned him.

Some even had wild imaginations, saying Su Meng had mental problems and went to a mental hospital for treatment.

All kinds of things, too many to mention.

In the eyes of many people in the entertainment industry, the matter was actually simple.

Why no sound?

Isn't it just fear?
