Chapter 54: The Sick Man of East Asia has been kicked away by me
At the end of October, the rainy season has gradually entered the rainy season, but it has not yet completely reached the level of heavy rain every day.
There will be a rain around noon every day, and then the afternoon sun will not be too fierce, and the outdoor activities during the day can also be increased, so you don't have to worry about sunburn.
October and March are the best times of the year to photograph desert island survival and wilderness survival experiences.
In the afternoon of this day, on another beautiful and natural island about ten nautical miles east of the Galloping Horse Atoll, Zhu Youran followed Gu Kun and had a lot of fun.
This small island, which Gu Kun recently bought for tens of millions of ringgit, covers an area of several square kilometers, is located slightly west due north of the Lanfang Islands, and is ready to build a cinema base in Lanfang in the future. (Formerly covered by the Prancing Horse Atoll of the Seaview Hotel Resort, located in the northwestern corner of the Lanfang Islands)
There were also dozens of fishermen living on the island, but Gu Kun paid compensation and demolished them, and the rest of the money was used to buy state-owned land for the royal family and the state treasury.
The island originally had no name, but after Gu Kun bought it, he casually took a new name, which was called Straw Hat Island.
The reason why he can't build a cinema directly on the original Galloping Atoll is because Gu Kun plans to use that atoll to transform it into a "Palm Jumeirah" model in Dubai in the future, focusing on resorts and serviced apartments/villas.
On the other hand, because the Benma Atoll is a reef made of pure coral reef white sand, and the water and soil conservation capacity is very poor, so there are no natural streams on the island, and the vegetation is relatively simple. Even if Gu Kun put his heart into construction, only coconut trees, palm trees, banana trees, and other trees could grow on the Galloping Horse Atoll, and the rest could only be planted with low shrubs and flowers.
The studio needs a more complex landscape, richer vegetation, and preferably a pristine tropical rainforest. Based on these considerations, Gu Kuncai chose and bought this Straw Hat Island.
Straw Hat Island is the kind of island with coral reef as the base, but the sediment and alluvial soil itself is relatively thick, the highest hill on the island is twenty or thirty meters high, there is a natural trickling stream, and about three or four square kilometers of dense primeval tropical rainforest.
In the future, the open space along the coast can be turned into a supporting building for the cinema, and now it can also be used to shoot the rainforest part of "Survival on a Desert Island".
However, these are still on the drawing paper, and in just a few days, only a few temporary photo stages, a temporary bar and restaurant, a row of board houses for life service logistics, and a steel structure fitness center have been set up.
These houses are not all newly built, some of them are just old houses of the aborigines of the island, and they are temporarily renovated to make do with them.
At this moment, on the beach in the distance, on the edge of the tropical rainforest, the crew from Hollywood is setting up the machine to start work, while the old fat house Tom Hanks is dragging a heavy body of more than 200 pounds, jumping up and down in the rainforest, according to the survival experience pointed out by Gu Kun a few days ago, restoring the drama of looking for food on a desert island.
Gu Kun didn't want to get involved in this in the first place, and it didn't do any good.
However, later director Michael Ranhe found out that Gu Kun had more experience in how to survive on the local rainforest island than the wilderness survival experts invited by the crew, so he begged Gu Kun for a few points, and Gu Kun made a move.
Director Michael Lanhe and producer Jerry are both human beings, and since Gu Kun has pointed his fingers, they have also filmed Gu Kun's every move as a tidbit, and they are ready to release "Survival on a Desert Island" in the future, and release it together as a promotional film.
Gu Kun is now more well-known than Tom Hanks, how can this kind of top-level traffic not be rubbed.
Gu Kun didn't mind, his only impression of this matter was:
Why is Jerry so unreliable? I'm embarrassed to say that he is a Hollywood gold producer and has a first-class ability to coordinate resources?
The wilderness survival expert invited to the crew, who claims to be a retired coach from the Navy SEALs, can't even catch sharks with his bare hands. When did the Navy SEALs start raising this waste?
......
Gu Kun only made a temporary cameo appearance as a consultant in the crew, so he didn't have anything to do with him when filming started.
He and Zhu Youran, just like an outing picnic, played by themselves on another rainforest beach next to them.
Zhu Youran has suffered a lot in the past few days, but she is very happy. Because I have been used to living a life of fine clothes and food since I was a child, I am also quite tired. Going to the wild to endure hardships and experience the hardships of natural life is similar to the rich eating wild vegetables and playing farmhouse.
The key is the real survival experience in the wild, just like Bei Ye, the little girl will definitely not be able to stand it. And with a coach like Gu Kun, play with her every day when you need to relax, and control the degree of hardship, the experience is perfect.
It's like fishing, always rushing to bite the hook will definitely make people have no sense of accomplishment, and they feel that they are posed for photos, and the fish are stocked by the owner of the fish pond. But if you don't catch the hook for half a day, it will be very frustrating. The best thing is to bite the hook frequently that it doesn't look like it's scripted, and it just doesn't make people run out of patience, this kind of fishing will definitely make people want to stop, and forget the time for a day of fishing.
On this day, Zhu Youran worked for two hours in vain.
Go into the sea and catch fish, you can't catch it at all.
Touching the lobster in the rocky stream that enters the sea, there is no shadow.
wanted to climb a tree to pick wild coconuts (the tree was still instructed by Gu Kun), but after climbing a little halfway, she lacked physical strength and fell on the beach.
I only picked up a few live seashells and conchs, which was not enough for a meal.
In the end, Gu Kun personally jumped into the sea on the verge of Zhu Youran's patience being exhausted and his mentality was about to collapse, and after a few casual touches, he swam out hundreds of meters away and got a few cedar lobsters.
I swished a few more coconut crabs, used crab claws to pop the wild coconuts, and then unloaded the mill and killed the donkey to put the coconut crabs together on the fire and roasted them.
The fire reflected Zhu Youran's filthy face, mixed with black mud prints, and it could be seen that she had a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, a successful person like you is not at all like other boring people who drill into money. Say you're an Olympic champion, you're much better than those who do sports, how the hell do you do it? ”
Zhu Youran held a roasted coconut crab claw and snuggled up to Gu Kun's arm, his expression was very leisurely.
She was still too short, especially with long legs and short upper body, so even if everyone was sitting, she couldn't lean on Gu Kun's shoulder, she could only lean on his arm.
Gu Kun didn't answer immediately, she took a bite of crab meat, and couldn't help but continue to ask: "Such a big coconut crab, if I come to the wilderness to survive and encounter it, maybe I will be killed by it, it is really not easy to survive in the wild, I originally thought it was too romantic." ”
The scene of Gu Kun catching a coconut crab and opening a coconut just now still made her feel a little thrilling and very exciting, but afterwards she felt very safe.
Coconut crab is not a seafood, but a terrestrial arthropod that lives on trees, and is known for its pincers that can clip open coconuts, so there are very few people who dare to catch coconut crabs with their bare hands, and it will be very miserable to be pinched.
The coconut crab that Gu Kun caught and ate just now, if you unfold the crab legs on both sides, it can be half a meter long and weigh seven or eight catties, which is already relatively robust.
"I don't think that if you were a 7-year-old and have to survive on your own, you will be able to do what I can do if you go to sea for more than ten years in the wind and waves. Gu Kun was afraid that the girl would beep and babble again, so he could only answer positively and stop the topic.
Zhu Youran didn't ask again.
After a while, perhaps because the playfulness had passed, she curiously changed the subject:
"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of opening a fitness company yourself? You don't think you want to start a fitness chain brand, and that kind of business is not very profitable. Is it just to provide some high-end services for Hollywood stars and increase media exposure?"
Gu Kun took a big sip of coconut water and touched Zhu Youran's hair: "Do you think this kind of business is unreliable? ”
Zhu Youran: "Then can you take me on a tour of the set where you filmed weight loss tidbits? I want to go to Tom's weight loss gym for a while to take a shower and look around." ”
After all, it was the vague things that Zhu Jingye revealed to her that aroused the little girl's curiosity.
"What's so nice about that, it's hard to lose weight, it's repetitive, it's boring, it's not ornamental. ”
Tom Hanks' weight loss room is certainly fine. But Gu Kun's bodybuilding film shooting has entered the preparatory stage, and now he is undergoing actor training, and those things will inevitably cause misunderstandings when they are seen by the little girl.
"I just want to see the hard work side of celebrities. Zhu Youran held Gu Kun's arm in his arms and pleaded.
"If you want to see it, you can see it. Gu Kun hesitated for a moment, feeling that there were some things that could not be hidden after all, so it was better to talk about it.
He didn't make the film himself, but just showed the image of Asian bodybuilding for cultural output, and this motivation itself is very positive, so he is not afraid of shadows.
After a while, after eating the roasted conch mussels, roasted fir lobster and coconut crabs, Gu Kun wiped his mouth and took Zhu leisurely to the fitness center on the island.
first let Zhu Youran, who was covered in mud and water, take a good bath, and then take her to the gym where she was filming.
Zhu Youran was the first to see Tom Hanks, who was working hard to lose weight.
He specially increased the fat in order to shoot the previous image of the fat house, and he had to lose it again during the filming process. The kind of hard work of tossing people made Zhu Youran feel deeply.
And Gu Kun, as the world superstar who has won the world championship and broken the world record the most, also gave a lot of face to the camera, pointed out a few words to Tom Hanks, and also practiced a few moves and gave some guidance with him.
Even Luo Haili, who is now the deputy of the Lanfang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, also appeared on camera and pointed out a few times.
Finally, after visiting the weight loss tidbits scene, Zhu Youran noticed that there were several photography studios next door, and Gu Kun had to take her to see them one by one.
In one room, she saw several tall, sturdy Asian men, and more white girls. The men are exercising there, and the girls are doing basic acting training.
"What are you trying to shoot here?"
"If you can't understand it, I don't expect you to understand, I'm just for cultural export. Let foreigners know that we are not the sick man of East Asia. ”
