Chapter 178: Skydiving
Xiao Yao told Mu Ying about his general framework idea, and the two began to conceive and discuss the specific inside story within this framework. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info just to make the whole plot new, but also to fully show the cool visual effects of parkour, and at the same time to take into account the domestic censorship mechanism in China, this script is not something that can be discussed in a while.
In the whole afternoon, the two came to a brainstorming session, although they did not discuss the plot of the entire script, they also came up with a lot of detailed baggage ideas. It wasn't until dinner time, when Kira Bea drove to pick up Xiao Yao back to the hotel, that the two were still separated.
On the third day of the film festival, after attending the screening of his short film in the morning, Xiao Yao had a whole afternoon of free time. Yesterday I had been discussing for most of the afternoon, and basically I had almost thought of all the ideas I could think of, Xiao Yao felt that he should wait for Mu Ying to be familiar with or even experience parkour before continuing to create the script, plus Mu Ying's short film was scheduled to be screened in the afternoon, so Xiao Yao didn't go to Mu Ying again. At the same time, Xiao Yao has also watched a lot of short films that he is interested in at the film festival in the past two days, and yesterday's discussion of the script also consumed a lot of brain cells, so Xiao Yao decided to take this opportunity to relax and go out for an afternoon.
There are still a lot of places and projects that Clermont-Ferrand can play during the day, and Xiao Yao recommended that the volcano geopark they go to is the most famous scenic spot, but this place Xiao Yao was taken by Chen Xuan a few years ago, and he felt that there was no need to go again, so he wanted to find some excitement and play some projects that he couldn't play before because of his young age.
In addition to the Geopark, Clermont-Ferrand also has several unique activities, namely skiing, hot air balloon riding and skydiving. Xiao Yao is quite interested in skiing, but it is already mid-March, and the daytime temperature in Clermont-Ferrand, a city in south-central France, is already around 10 degrees Celsius, and the snow in the ski resort has begun to melt, so skiing is actually not a good choice. Watching in a hot air balloon was not exciting enough for Xiao Yao, so he wanted to go skydiving.
Like diving, skydiving requires training and obtaining a license. Xiao Yao naturally does not have a skydiving license, but in addition to solo skydiving, there is also a tandem skydiving mode called Tandem Skydive, which is tied to a professional skydiving instructor, and the two share a parachute bag, and the instructor controls the whole process in the air. This kind of skydiving does not require a professional skydiving license, Xiao Yao wants to play and can play, which is this.
Since he decided to go to play in the afternoon, Xiao Yao didn't want to stay at the film festival site for long, and it was not too early after his short film screening in the morning, so he left the film festival with Fang Yi.
When I returned to the city, it was almost time for dinner. Several people got together for lunch, and Xiao Yao also told a few people during the meal that he wanted to go skydiving in the afternoon, and asked Clara Vera where there was a place to experience skydiving. Hearing that Xiao Yao was going to play skydiving, Fang Yi and Pei Minyi, who had been playing in Clermont-Ferrand for two days, immediately called for going together.
These three are all young adults, after asking them if they have no fear of heights, heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases that are not suitable for skydiving, Clara Vera has no opinion on Xiao Yao and they want to experience skydiving, and took out her mobile phone to contact Kira Bea, who was just informed by Xiao Yao not long ago that she would not need to be picked up today.
Kira Bea's family runs a skydiving club that takes visitors on tandem skydiving, and Kira Bea is a licensed professional skydiver herself. If they want to go skydiving, it's better to call Kira Bea, an insider, to go with them.
Hearing that the beauty who studied art was still a skydiver, Xiao Yao and the other three were also taken aback, and really felt what it means to be a person who is not good-looking.
Knowing that Kira Bea is a fan of Van Gogh, and she is responsible for driving herself to and from the film festival in the past few days, Xiao Yao made up some knowledge about Van Gogh. With a super memory, Xiao Yao memorized all the information about Van Gogh that could be found on the Internet in one night. On the way to and from the film festival, when Kira and Xiao Yao talked about Van Gogh, Xiao Yao could also talk eloquently. Coupled with his song about Van Gogh, Kira Bea considered Xiao Yao to be a fan of Van Gogh and regarded him as a like-minded friend.
Hearing that Xiao Yao and others were going to skydive, Kira Bea excitedly said on the phone that she could take everyone to play, and not long after hanging up the phone, she rushed to the place where a few people were eating, and took everyone straight to her home skydiving club.
It's easy to have people inside. The boss's daughter brought her friends to play, and not only did the various procedures go through very quickly, but also removed the basic insurance and other expenses, and all the fees that could be reduced were naturally reduced.
Kira Bea personally helped several people select and put on suitable skydiving equipment, explained and instructed the actions that should be done and the safety precautions that need to be paid attention to when skydiving, and selected three experienced skydiving instructors, and then beckoned everyone to board the small plane on the tarmac.
When putting on the equipment on the ground, Fang Yi and Pei Minyi were still in high spirits, but when the plane flew into the air, the faces of the two began to change slightly. When the voice of the pilot of the plane came from the loudspeaker in the cabin, informing everyone that the plane had reached a height suitable for parachuting and was ready to jump down at any time, several instructors connected the buckles on their bodies with the equipment on the passengers they were going to lead, so that the two were tied together. An instructor opened the door of the plane, and Fang Yi and Pei Minyi immediately became nervous and their feet went soft.
Xiao Yao: They don't count Qila Bea as one man and three women on this trip, and Qila is exactly one woman and three men in the coach. Kira Bea decided to dance with Xiao Yao, so they happened to be a combination of men and women. When Fang Yi, who was arranged to jump first, walked with the male instructor to the open door of the plane cabin, Fang Ying, who was looking at the sky outside the cabin and the earth below, was still stunned, grabbed the handle in the cabin with both hands, and did not dare to jump out of the plane.
I don't know if the coaches still see a lot of this situation in this situation, or if they want to show their gentlemanly demeanor in front of the Chinese girls, or because it is the face of Kira, the boss's daughter's friend, the coaches showed any impatience with Fang Zhen's performance, but repeatedly assured that there would be no danger, patiently comforting and encouraging her. As a result, the coach's persuasion didn't seem to have a good effect, but Pei Minyi was affected, and after glancing out of the plane, she also cried and told her coach not to jump.
"Didn't you just say that it must be okay?" Looking at the performance of the two, Xiao Yao only felt speechless for a while. In fact, before getting on the plane, Xiao Yao also asked the two if they were sure to play such an exciting project with him, and both of them swore that there was no problem, but they really wanted to jump, but they admitted it so quickly.
"But I didn't expect it to be so terrifying. Pei Minyi said with a crying voice.
"I didn't jump, I just stayed in the plane and waited for landing. Fang still said as he stepped back, away from the plane door.
"No!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to stop, "If any of you don't jump today, don't come with you when you go abroad in the future." Saying that, Xiao Yao said to the coach behind him, "Can I just kick the two of you out together?"
"What?" the coach looked stunned, "Are you kidding?" and thought to himself, "Who the am I messing with?"
"Jan, don't mess around. Kira hurriedly pulled Xiao Yao and said, "You can't do this, it's dangerous." Through the past few days of contact, Clara Vera and Kira Bea have become familiar with Xiao Yao, and the address to him has changed from the original surname to directly calling him by his English name.
"They need encouragement, not brutal treatment. The coach behind Pei Minyi also said.
"Well, I'm just kidding. Xiao Yao raised his hands and said, "Don't dare to jump, forget it, I'll come first." ”
"Come!" Fang Fang, who had been pardoned, still hurriedly retreated.
Xiao Yao took over Fang still standing at the door of the cabin, glanced down, and suddenly felt dizzy, his hands unconsciously clenched the handle next to the cabin door, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "It's really scary to look at! Am I crazy, or am I crazy?"
"What's wrong, aren't you scared too?" Fang still slowly returned to normal after staying away from the hatch, keenly discovering Xiao Yao's abnormality.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Yao sneered and said stiffly.
"Then why don't you jump, waiting for us to kick you down?" Fang still played the trick of giving back to the other in the other way.
"Yes!" Qila, who was behind Xiao Yao, turned her head and said to the other party.
"Are you kidding?" Xiao Yao looked back at Kira in shock, "That's not what you said just now!"
"Joking, of course. Kira laughed, "I'll count to three, and we'll jump together." As he spoke, Qi stretched out his hands and grabbed Xiao Yao's waist from behind.
Xiao Yao held the handles on both sides of the hatch with his hands open at this time, and Kira was holding his waist behind him, this situation inexplicably reminded him of the "Titanic" in his previous life, but this male and female gender seems to be reversed!
"One, two..."Kira counted loudly behind Xiao Yao, as if she was also cheering Xiao Yao in this way.
"Wait!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Kira looked at him a little strangely, "You don't want to jump too, do you?"
"So...can you let me shout?" Xiao Yao asked, "I think I'm more mentally prepared for this." ”
"Yes!" Kira nodded.
"Three!" Xiao Yao shouted.
"Huh?" Qira heard "three", and subconsciously wanted to push Xiao Yao to jump down, but found that her hands were still firmly grasping the handle.
"Two!" Xiao Yao continued to shout.
"It turns out that Chinese people are used to counting backwards. Kira was relieved.
"Three! Let's go!" Xiao Yao let go of his hands, threw his body forward, and got out of the plane.
Kira and Xiao Yao are now connected by ropes and buckles, Kira's hands are on Xiao Yao's waist, there is nowhere to borrow strength, Xiao Yao got out of the plane, and she was taken out without any suspense.
"What the hell is three, two, three?" Qira was complaining in her heart, but was pulled out of the plane by Xiao Yao. Suddenly she screamed in fright! But as she fell from the air, the wind suddenly blocked the sound in her throat.
This also made Kira Bea quickly sober up and calmed down, and quickly adjusted her body posture in the air. On the other hand, on Xiao Yao's side, the strange "three, two, three" was obviously called wrong because of nervousness, but after he was in the air, Xiao Yao's performance was quite good, he remembered all the points that Kira had told him before, his whole body was parallel to the ground, and his limbs were also very open. Due to the wind resistance, Kira, who was still shrunk into a ball after getting out of the plane, basically lay on Xiao Yao's body. Judging from the situation in the first few seconds after getting out of the plane, it looks like Xiao Yao took Kira to parachute.
Xiao Yao, who was in the air, did not feel the expected sense of weightlessness, which was not the same as the feeling of riding a roller coaster and a jumping machine, but it was a bit like falling in the water while swimming. The sound of the wind whistling in his ears and the stillness of his surroundings also made him feel particularly surprised. It was difficult for Xiao Yao to accurately describe the feeling he felt, don't look at the posture that he seemed to be falling now, it was just the moment he jumped out of the plane according to the previous Qila's guidance. Now he obviously felt that he could no longer control his body at all, but he felt a sense of freedom again.
With a bang, Kira Bea, who was above Xiao Yao, pulled the tab on the bag and opened the parachute as she landed at the right height. Xiao Yao obviously felt a force pulling his body, and the whole person changed from parallel to the ground to perpendicular to the ground. Kira, who stabilized the falling speed of the two, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and began to control the parachute to fall towards the predetermined location.
Probably encouraged by Xiao Yao, Fang Yi and Pei Minyi also overcame their fear and jumped down with their respective coaches, Xiao Yao, who jumped first, looked up after standing upright, and could also see three other open parachutes floating in the air in his sight. As for Clara Vera, she had jumped with Kira before, and was the only one of the four who had ever experienced a tandem skydive, and of course she jumped out with her.
After a wonderful air journey, all four umbrellas and eight people landed safely, but the way they landed was a little awkward. Several people didn't stand, they basically all knelt, and the worst Pei Minyi even made a close contact between her face and the earth, but because she was wearing a helmet, she didn't suffer any injuries.
The landing site is in an open and uninhabited place, far away from the club, and it is certainly impossible to walk back with an open parachute after landing, so the skydiving club arranged a vehicle to pick up and recover the parachute near the landing site in advance, and not long after landing, they boarded the vehicle from the club to pick up people.
"Well, how do you get a license for solo skydiving, how long does it take to train, and how long does it take to get it?" After experiencing such a tandem skydive, Xiao Yao found that he fell in love with this exciting extreme sport, and began to consider getting a license to jump by himself.
"At least 10 hours of ground training, accompanied by an instructor, at least 25 independent skydives. You can get a certificate of skydiving at the most basic level. Kira briefly introduced, and suddenly glared at Xiao Yao and said, "By the way, what the hell was three, two, three just now? You Huaxia people all count like this? I was pulled out of the plane by you unprepared." I wasn't as scared as I was when I learned to skydive!"
"Three, two, three, who counts like that, didn't you graduate from elementary school?" Xiao Yao said with a blank expression.
"Who else? you, of course!" said Kira, angrily.
"Impossible," Xiao Yao said confidently, "I'm the top student in our college entrance examination in Yanjing City, Huaxia!"
