Chapter 975: In Africa (4)
"That's great!"
Maurice Bakerton's face showed a smile of joy, but he immediately showed some embarrassment: "The problem is that our government is currently very tight on funds, and most of the budget is spent on national reconstruction, and although I am the Minister of Culture and Tourism, it is difficult to squeeze out the funds for the filming of the promotional video. ”
"That's not a problem. ”
Luo Kai smiled: "The filming and broadcast of the promotional video on our domestic platform are all free, which is a testimony to our friendship, but we may need your support and help during the filming process." ”
"That's totally fine!"
Morris's smile became extremely sincere: "Long live the friendship of Sehua!"
Who doesn't love free stuff?
Although the Minister of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Saiga does not know the plot content of "Operation Thunder", he knows that Luo Kai is not only the most famous star in China at the moment, but also a billionaire.
Since Luo Kai promised to shoot a promotional video for Ridro for free, there is basically no possibility of repentance, Morris has studied and lived in China for ten years, and he is very clear about the Chinese people's code of conduct to the outside world.
In this way, this Sega promotional film, which will be broadcast on China's largest social platforms and video sites, has undoubtedly become one of his political achievements. bie
As for the support and help needed for filming, it was a matter of course, and Morris would do his best without Luo Kai opening his mouth.
The relationship between the two sides suddenly became closer.
"Long live friendship!"
Zhou Yiming raised his champagne glass at the right time, and at the same time gave Luo Kai an appreciative look.
Well done!
Later, in the banquet hall of the Phoenix Hotel, Morris was invited to make a short speech, welcoming the arrival of the overseas filming crew of "Operation Thunder", and at the same time elaborating on the friendly relationship between Huaxia and Saiga.
His proficient speech in Chinese received warm applause.
The dinner ended at around 8pm local time, and ended with a local Aboriginal dance and dozens of enthusiastic Saiga girls presented beautiful wreaths to the guests.
The next morning, the crew members gathered on time and took the bus to the filming location.
The crew members sat in two buses, and the camera equipment and props were loaded on a large van, and there was also a truck for life support, carrying food, purified water, medicine and other things.
In addition, the Ridero government sent four pickup trucks to follow the crew.
"Awesome!"
Many passengers on the bus looked out of the window, and the young people in the crew all opened their eyes wide and took out their mobile phones to shoot.
Because the four pickup trucks were divided into front and back, left and right, and the crew convoy was tightly protected, and each pickup truck carried a number of heavily armed soldiers, two of which also set up heavy machine guns.
This kind of scene has only been seen in movies and TV before, but now it is a reality in front of you!
These elite soldiers from the Army of the Republic of Sacra came at the request of the Reidro government to protect the safety of the "Operation Thunder" crew during the filming of Ridro.
Although the Republic of Saiga ended the civil war four or five years ago and achieved peace, the problems left over from the war are so easy to solve, and although the security situation in the capital Ridro is considered the best, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not run into a few outlaws.
During the civil war in the country, a large number of weapons were lost to the civilian population, and despite the vigorous collection efforts of the Sega government over the past few years, it was impossible to clean them up, so there were certain security risks.
The Ridero government wants to regain the light of the pearl of Africa, and of course will not allow a vicious incident to happen to the crew of "Thunder Operation", and it is completely reasonable to provide strict protection.
In fact, during the filming of "Operation Thunder", there will also be many Saiga soldiers acting as group actors, which the crew has coordinated with the Cypriot side through the embassy.
After half an hour's drive, the convoy arrived in the northwest residential area of downtown Ridro.
It's part of the downtown area of Ridero, and it's densely populated with low-rise houses, few high-rise modern buildings, and a lot of ruins in between.
Some of the buildings are riddled with bullet holes, and they wordlessly tell the scenes of the fierce scenes of the civil war.
With the increase in the number of houses, the roads have become narrower, there are many pedestrians coming and going, many in rags or even wearing a pair of shorts, all kinds of dilapidated vehicles are shuttling through the crowd, and hawkers abound.
The appearance of the convoy caused a commotion in the crowd, and people took refuge on both sides of the road as the armed pickup trucks in front of them honked their horns.
The children, on the other hand, were not at all afraid, laughing and running barefoot along with the convoy, shouting in the garbled local language of Saiga.
In such a completely different environment from China, many of the crew members sitting in the bus showed apprehension in their eyes.
For everyone, Saiga is a completely unfamiliar country, and I have heard it in the news before, and I have the impression that it is a very distant and backward place.
Yesterday I arrived in Ridro and stayed at the Phoenix Hotel, and everyone saw a beautiful side of the city, but now they see a completely different side.
They instinctively felt uneasy.
"Rest assured, everyone. ”
On the same bus, a crew member who came to Ridro a month ago to prepare for filming said: "Don't look at the poverty and backwardness here, but the law and order is still okay, the locals are very friendly to us Chinese people, and we still have the protection of the government army, so we don't need to worry about safety." ”
In addition to reassuring everyone, he also said some things to be aware of during the local filming, including contact with locals.
As he spoke, the convoy stopped in front of a five-story building.
This is a local hospital, but it was destroyed by the war a few years ago and has not yet fully recovered, but it is back in operation.
Some of the scenes of "Operation Thunder" were filmed in this hospital, and today it is mainly Mo Lan's scene, because she plays a female doctor sent from China to help Africa.
It is worth mentioning that this hospital was built with domestic assistance, and is one of the witnesses of the traditional friendship between China and Saiga, and there are currently some medical volunteers from China working here.
Therefore, when everyone got off the bus, there were several faces of Chinese people in the welcoming crowd seen at the entrance of the hospital.
They were wearing white coats and had sincere and joyful smiles on their faces, which made the crew feel very reassured.
