The filming location of the movie was on a large plain in the outskirts of Hengdian.
After a few days of rushing work, the rocket launch tower was finally completed. Even the diversion tank and other basic facilities were completed.
Jiang Chen had spent a lot of effort to transport the rockets in sections. He had even torn down the door of his factory.
Fortunately, Hengdian had a rich film culture and was supported by the government. When the traffic police heard that it was a movie prop, they even sent people to guide the traffic. Only then did they transport the rocket over.
After a day, the rocket was finally assembled. On the launch tower, a few thick metal frames fixed the 93-meter-tall rocket vertically on the ground.
A 72-meter-tall space shuttle was lying on top of the rocket. There were three large and two small exhaust jets at the rear, and a total of five engine jets looked extremely shocking.
After 29 days, Jiang Chen finally finished the work.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was folding his arms and looking up at his work.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Niu Bi, I saw it from afar. Teacher Jiang, you're too awesome.”
The assistant director, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, jumped out of an off-road vehicle. He was ecstatic and gave Jiang Chen a thumbs-up from afar.
He walked to the bottom of the launch tower and knocked here and there. He shook his head and sighed as he listened to the crisp sound of metal.
"It's too similar. It's as if it's real."
He looked up and saw several waist-thick tubes connected to the round opening on the rocket dozens of meters above his head.
"Eh? Teacher Jiang, what are those tubes for? They don't seem to be on the blueprint.”
The assistant director walked to Jiang Chen's side and pointed at the pipe.
Jiang Chen said calmly with his arms crossed.
"Oh, fuel tubes, one for liquid oxygen and one for liquid hydrogen.”
The heaviest part of a rocket was, of course, the fuel.
The rocket that Jiang Chen had built, combined with the space shuttle, had a net weight of less than 300 tons, but it only had more than 2,000 tons of fuel.
They could only transport the rocket to the launch tower for assembly before loading the fuel.
Hearing Jiang Chen say it was a fuel pipe, the assistant director in sunglasses gave him a thumbs up again.
Professional, indeed professional.
Even details like the fuel pipe were perfected.
Real, it was real enough.
Jiang Chen looked at the assistant director as if he had thought of something important.
"By the way, have you named the rocket?"
The assistant director didn't even look at Jiang Chen. He was still admiring Jiang Chen's masterpiece.
"The rocket and the space shuttle are both called Twist Mahua. The movie is called 'Solitary Space.' Shen Teng and Ma Li are the main actors. You'll see them tomorrow.”
Jiang Chen nodded. Twisted Hair.
He finally knew the name of the rocket. After all, it was made by him and would be launched tomorrow.
Once he ascended to the heavens, he might not be able to see it a second time in his lifetime.
Knowing the name was at least a thought.
The assistant director didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking. He patted Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Teacher Jiang, I'll have to trouble you to come to the venue tomorrow and be in charge of the props.”
After all, the rocket was so big. Jiang Chen, the prop master, had to give instructions on how to use it.
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Sure, no problem."
The next day, the sci-fi comedy film " Solitary Space ", which was starred by Shen Teng and Ma Li, officially started filming.
Just like the assistant director said, it was a big production.
Early in the morning, the various departments of the production team arrived one after another, and hundreds of people rushed in.
When everyone arrived at the launch site and looked at the Twist Mahua rocket standing on the launch site, they all burst out with uneducated " Holy sh * t."
If it weren't for the non-disclosure contract, they would probably have gone up to take photos and posted them on their WeChat Moments.
As the person in charge of the production team, the director was full of praise for the assistant director.
This prop.
Awesome!
Jiang Chen arrived at the launch site at seven o'clock in the morning.
"Teacher Jiang, your car is really cool…"
The assistant director in charge of welcoming them couldn't take his eyes off Jiang Chen's car.
Jiang Chen didn't drive a small car. It was a proper eight-axis, thirty-two-wheel truck with two large containers on it.
The container seemed to have been modified. There was a radar and antenna on it, making it look very sci-fi.
And it seemed like the fuel consumption was not low.
Were all prop masters like this nowadays?
Driving an eight-axis truck?
"Hey, time is tight, so I'll make do with it.”
A rocket launch wasn't like driving a car. It required not only high-altitude satellite guidance but also the cooperation of the ground control center.
The director's team probably hadn't thought of this, but Jiang Chen wasn't a stingy person, considering how big the deal was.
He used parts to build a ground command center.
It was considered a bonus service.
They followed the assistant director to the tent. The director gave Jiang Chen another thumbs up.
Even the main actors, Shen Teng and Ma Li, came out of the dressing room to shake hands with Jiang Chen.
"I didn't expect a small Hengdian to have such a great talent like Teacher Jiang. Nice to meet you…"
Jiang Chen held Shen Teng's hand and looked at the middle-aged actor who was a little plump. He said worriedly.
"Teachers, it will be a little bumpy during the launch later, but don't be afraid. The compensation suit I designed for you can withstand 4G overload. It shouldn't be a problem.”
Although Twist was a heavy-duty carrier rocket with strong power, after Jiang Chen's optimization, the vertical overload had been limited to 6G.
With the bodies of the two main characters, carrying 2G shouldn't be a problem.
"Bump? It even has a vibration function? Teacher Jiang, with your skills, we'll have to work together more in the future.”
In the earlier scenes of " Solitary Space," Shen Teng and Ma Li would play the roles of two astronauts who would take the space shuttle to carry out missions in space.
Among them was the scene of a rocket launching.
They had planned to use the camera to shake and the parts to vibrate to create the image of the launch, but they hadn't expected that the rocket prop designed by Jiang Chen could vibrate as a whole.
This undoubtedly increased the realism of the scene.
As the lead actor and investor, Shen Teng felt more at ease.
Bump?
The more he shook, the better, and the more real it was.
The more realistic it was, the more the audience bought it, and the better the box office.
Then give it a good jolt.
