7: Chapter 7: I wanted props, and you brought out a doomsday vehicle?!
Based on the information currently known, Xu's Heavy Industry has outdated technology, most of its core employees have left, and it has been suffering losses for years!
It is even said that they cannot currently pay the wages of frontline employees.
This inevitably makes him worried.
Actor Wu Jing frowned.
He had invested quite a bit of money into 'The Wandering Earth', and he was also the lead actor.
If the film could not start shooting normally because of the props, the impact would be significant, not just a little bit.
"You still don't believe it?"
"How about this: I'll contact Chairman Xu. It's already been over a few months, so the props should be about ready."
"Find a time, and you can come with me to take a look on-site; you'll know once you see it."
Director Guo Fan suggested after hearing these words.
Upon hearing this, Actor Wu Jing's expression changed slightly, and he became a bit interested.
He raised his wrist, checked his watch, and then said:
"There's no time like the present. It's still early, so why not... just go over right now."
Director Guo Fan was stunned, not expecting Actor Wu Jing to be so urgent, but he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll call Chairman Xu first."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xu's Heavy Industry Group, new factory workshop.
After the east and west factory areas were demolished, they were combined into the current super-large new factory area.
Xu Hao attached great importance to the construction of the film props for 'The Wandering Earth'.
This factory area was also tailor-made for them.
At this moment, the production lines in the workshop were working in full swing.
Xu Hao was wearing work clothes and a safety helmet, busy in the workshop as well.
The blueprints were provided by the system, and he was the only one who understood the core technologies involved.
Therefore, during the construction process, he needed to personally provide guidance to the workers on some issues.
"Master Huang, I need you to personally oversee the transport vehicle wheel assembly module; this point is very important."
Xu Hao instructed Master Huang, who was assigning tasks nearby.
"Alright, Chairman, please rest assured, I guarantee the task will be completed!"
Xu Hao nodded and turned to walk to the next workshop.
He spent a long time in the workshop every day, aiming for excellence to create Giant Transport Vehicles and related sci-fi products without any flaws.
Since he possessed the [MOSS System] and chose to cooperate with Director Guo Fan, taking this important step, Xu Hao decided that he must ensure the product quality was the best.
Not only should the props be realistic, looking authentic to people, but the sci-fi products created must also be truly cutting-edge technological products, allowing them to integrate into our daily lives and facilitate people's work.
At the same time.
Xu's Heavy Industry's reputation was gradually declining, and many individuals, enterprises, and institutions were not optimistic about it.
Given this, he needed to exert the spirit of a craftsman, push the products to the extreme, and make the products produced by Xu's Heavy Industry Group products that every industry could trust.
After spending some time in each workshop, instructing them on some production matters, and reminding them to pay attention to safety, Xu Hao took out his phone and checked the time.
"It's about time; Director Guo and the others should be arriving soon."
He put his phone back, took off his safety helmet, and walked towards the main gate of the factory.
As soon as he stepped out, he happened to see Director Guo Fan, Actor Wu Jing, and others getting off the bus.
Seeing this, Xu Hao stepped forward quickly to welcome them.
"Director Guo, long time no see!" Xu Hao shook hands with Director Guo Fan.
"Hahaha, Chairman Xu, long time no see!"
Director Guo Fan walked up enthusiastically and shook hands with Xu Hao cordially.
"Let me introduce you, this is the lead actor of 'The Wandering Earth', Actor Wu Jing!" Director Guo Fan introduced to Xu Hao.
Subsequently, he introduced to Actor Wu Jing: "This is the Chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry, Xu Hao."
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Xu Hao and Actor Wu Jing greeted each other and got familiar with one another.
Xu Hao walked in front, leading the group towards the factory area.
"Chairman Xu, the props should be about done, right?" Director Guo Fan asked.
It had been over three months since signing the contract with Xu Hao, and the main purpose of this visit was to see the props.
Therefore, Director Guo Fan wanted to inquire about the production status of the props and take a look at the workshop while he was at it.
"They are basically mostly done, but some areas still need refinement."
Xu Hao thought for a moment and answered truthfully.
During these past few months, the entire workshop had been extremely busy, rushing to build various film props.
The focus was naturally on the Giant Transport Vehicle.
Although he had ready-made blueprints on hand, the size was simply too large, and it always took more time to manufacture it completely.
Moreover, to make the Giant Transport Vehicle more perfect and closer to the film, Xu Hao added many details according to the blueprints given by the system.
For example, adding anti-corrosion composite materials, protective shields against high-explosive projectile strikes, and so on.
Therefore, it delayed things a little bit.
Hearing this, Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing looked at each other, slightly stunned, and could not help but think:
Isn't it just film props?
Although there are many types and a large number, it shouldn't take this much time, right?
"Chairman Xu, you aren't joking, are you?" Director Guo Fan said, somewhat disbelieving.
Actor Wu Jing also spoke up from the side, "That's right, Chairman Xu, making film props shouldn't take this long..."
Xu Hao did not know what they were thinking, only assuming they didn't understand the situation.
"This is really not a joke." Xu Hao explained, "To be able to show the best effects on screen, it is appropriate to spend a little more time polishing."
"How about this... since you are here anyway, why not come with me to the workshop and see for yourself?"
Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing's purpose for coming was exactly this, and hearing Xu Hao say this, they both immediately nodded.
"Let's go, let's go take a look..."
After a short while, the group arrived at another workshop.
"Is it here?"
Xu Hao instructed the factory security guard to open the factory gate.
As the gate opened, a scorching heat wave filled with the scent of metal rushed towards them.
Xu Hao reached out his hand, signaling Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing to follow.
Then, he led the two into the interior of the workshop and arrived in front of the Giant Transport Vehicle.
"This is the Giant Transport Vehicle from 'The Wandering Earth' that transports ore!"
Walking to the innermost workshop, on the workbench, an extra-large transport vehicle was quietly parked there.
Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing had already been captivated by this Giant Transport Vehicle the moment they entered the workshop.
"Is... is this the Giant Transport Vehicle built according to a one-to-one scale prototype?"
Director Guo Fan widened his eyes, filled with shock.
This transport vehicle... was too big!
His own height was not even as high as one of its wheels.
Standing in front of it, he felt so small, as if he were a dwarf.
And there were a full twenty wheels just like that!!
