After an 11-hour flight, Air China flight JS569 landed at the capital airport of the Republic of Sacra.

Due to the six-hour time difference between the Republic of Sacha and the rest of the country, the local time was 15:45 p.m. when we arrived in Ridro, some time before it got dark.

Before the arrival of Luo Kai and others, the staff of Hongqi Film and Television and Jiandun Film and Television had already set up a filming base in Ridero, and today they also rented a number of buses to pick up the airport.

After completing the customs clearance procedures, the overseas filming crew of "Thunder Operation" met with their colleagues, took a bus to the downtown area of Ridrow, and checked into a five-star hotel.

Located in east-central Africa, with an area of more than 2 million square kilometers and a population of 50 million, the Republic of Saga is the third largest country in Africa and a neighbor of the North African country of Sayato.

Historically, Saiga and Sayyato were both British colonies, and when they became independent, they were divided into two countries, and Saiga and Sayyato shared the same culture and suffered from war.

However, in contrast to Sayato, which is still in the midst of war, the Republic of Saga achieved peace five or six years ago and began to build a nation and recover economically.

The most important thing is that the relationship between the Republic of Saiga and China has always been very friendly, and China has a lot of support and construction projects in the Republic of Saiga, so the safety of the Chinese people in the Republic of Saiga is very guaranteed.

"Operation Thunder" is based on the documentary "100 Hours of Victory!-2016 North African Evacuation Operation Documentary", the real events recorded occurred in May and June of the previous year, when a serious civil war broke out in Sayato, the capital Leader was in the midst of a war, and tens of thousands of expatriates faced a life and death crisis.

Under such circumstances, the Third Fleet, which was carrying out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden at that time, urgently went to Lid, and the sea, land and air forces worked together to evacuate 42,581 expatriates in Sayatou in less than five days, and none of them died, creating an amazing miracle that shocked the world.

In the past two years, the situation in Sayyato is still turbulent, so "Operation Thunder" definitely cannot be filmed there, so Ridro, the capital of the Republic of Saga, has become the best choice.

Because Ridero and Leade are both seaport cities, the two cities are only a few hundred kilometers apart, and the size and customs of the cities are quite close.

Of course, the current Ridro is definitely a lot stronger than Lead, one is rebuilding, the other is still fighting.

Staying at the Phoenix Hotel in Ridero, Rokai and Moran settled into one of their suites.

This five-star hotel will be the base camp of the overseas filming crew of "Thunder Operation" for the next two or three months, and the crew members will go out to shoot during the day and come back here to rest at night.

It's not that the crew spends lavishly and extravagantly, but the security situation in Ridro can't be compared with that in China, and only in such a well-guarded hotel can enough security be guaranteed.

Therefore, it is totally worth the extra money, and personnel safety should always come first, no matter what.

"It's so beautiful!"

Standing on the balcony of the 27th floor of the hotel, Mo Lan, who looked at the scenery of Puerto Ridro, couldn't help but exclaim.

Known as a pearl on the African continent, Ridero is blessed with a unique geographical environment and beautiful natural scenery with an endless blue sea to the east, rolling mountains to the west and north, and the edge of the African savannah.

Luo Kai, who had just finished making an international call to Li Mengru and Xia Ying, walked out, gently hugged her into his arms, and said, "If there is no war, it will be more beautiful." ”

Four or five years ago, Ridero was also the scene of a crossfire between the government forces of the Republic of Saga and the opposition, and Rokai had seen a lot of Ridro's materials, and many of the historic buildings were destroyed in the conflict.

The area near the port is now being rebuilt, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, including the Phoenix Hotel where the two are located, giving it the look of a modern city.

But in more and larger urban areas, Ridro is still poor and backward, and there are still large slums where two or three million people are said to live.

Mo Lan rubbed in his arms and asked, "Did you call Niuniu?"

"Yes. ”

Luo Kai said: "I miss her a little bit now. ”

He called Xia Ying just now, and also talked to Niuniu for several minutes, thinking that he was already nearly 10,000 kilometers apart, and the concern in his heart was even heavier.

Ding dong~

Mo Lan was about to say a few words of relief when the sound of a doorbell rang from inside the room.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the living room together, and Luo Kai went over and opened the door.

I saw Zhang Zhiye and a middle-aged man in his forties standing at the door.

This time, the overseas filming crew of "Operation Thunder" flew to Ridrow, and producer Zhang Zhiye also accompanied the team.

Zhang Zhiye asked, "Luo Kai, didn't bother you, did you?"

Luo Kai smiled: "No, come in and sit." ”

Zhang Zhiye and the middle-aged man entered the living room together, and Zhang Zhiye introduced: "Luo Kai, this is Mr. Zhou Yiming, Cultural Counselor of our Foreign Ministry Embassy in Ridero. ”

Luo Kai was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Counselor Zhou." ”

"Hello. ”

Zhou Yiming smiled heartily: "Mr. Luo Kai, although I have always been in Africa, I have also heard your music works, and I have admired your name for a long time!"

Luo Kai smiled: "You are too polite. ”

He introduced Mo Lan to Zhou Yiming, and everyone sat down in the living room.

Zhou Yiming said straight to the point: "Mr. Luo Kai, today I came to contact your crew as a representative of the Ridro Embassy, if you have any needs, or encounter any problems, then you can contact our embassy." ”

Luo Kai said: "Thank you. ”

The crew of "Operation Thunder" was unfamiliar with Ridero, and it would have been difficult for the work to run smoothly without the assistance of the local embassy.

This work was previously done by the Navy and the Red Banner side, but now the embassy has taken the initiative to send someone to the door, and it is also a counselor, which undoubtedly shows a very serious attitude.

Zhou Yiming continued: "In addition, representatives of officials from the Reedro city government will also come to talk with you in the evening, so you need to be prepared. ”

Zhang Zhiye said: "We are already preparing, and my colleagues who came earlier arranged a welcome dinner through the hotel, just to discuss and exchange ideas together. ”

Zhou Yiming looked amiable, but his speech and demeanor were very resolute, and he left after finalizing the arrangements for the evening with Zhang Zhiye and Luo Kai.

The second one is sent.
