Chapter 947: Mercenary Regiment
Even if it was really good, she wouldn't want the trip to be implicated in unknown dangers.
"Let's put it this way, if it's just me, then I'll go. But now that so many people are eating with me, I have to be responsible for their safety!"
Leonardo was speechless by what she said.
yes, why would people stay with you for months in such a dangerous place? If it's an ordinary person, it's fine, just dress up a little. But they brought a crew with them, and Leila is now one of the most famous directors in the world, and her every move can be said to affect the hearts of countless people around the world.
Maybe the people of South Africa won't care if there's a big director in Hollywood, but the people in the government will definitely care. It can be seen from the fact that after the end of her "Lord of the Rings", she accidentally drove the tourism industry of two countries, and as long as she appeared in her film, it definitely had a very positive publicity effect on that country.
If the propaganda goes out, there will be people who come to travel and explore, and these people will drive the local economic development, which will definitely be a very beneficial thing for the country. Not to mention the government, anyone with a little economic acumen would welcome Leila and her party very much.
But that only means that no one has found Leonardo and Roy's faces, and once their faces are discovered by the people who have taken the bounty before, will those people in the shadows easily give up and snatch the diamonds from him? Will those people throw in the towel if the diamonds are made into rings? No, they will only see millions of rough diamonds turned into tens of millions of treasures!
Perhaps Leila's status makes those people a little more suspicious, but don't forget that it's not in the United States, not in the East, not even in any of the more advanced cities. Leila didn't want to use her luck to test the greed of the boss over there.
"Leila, there must be a way to think of it. Leonardo certainly doesn't want to pass up his recent chance of getting close to the Oscar for Best Actor. "Since those people want money, give them money! How much can the rough be sold for in their hands? I can find them and give them a sum of money that satisfies them, what do you think?"
After all, all they bought was the rough stones, and if they could make him realize his wish, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to throw out a few million.
It's the same with Leila, that kind of small money is also a drop in the bucket for her. Their budget is hundreds of millions, and a few million is regarded as hiring an extra actor. If you can make the film smoothly, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more.
With this idea, she called Xiao Xi again.
After listening to their words, Xiao Xiao said that this method was very good, and it should be able to appease the leader who lost the diamond. However, their generosity can also arouse the greed of other leaders. If you can buy one, can you buy the others?
Well, even the big ones can be stuffed with money. As the saying goes, Hades is so good that little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and you have dealt with wave after wave, no matter how rich you are, you won't lose it like this, right?
"If you really want to shoot and are willing to pay for it, I have an idea. β
Seeing that he was smiling so "sincerely", Leila immediately guessed his thoughts: "Help your friends make some money?"
"Ahem. I was about to say my plan of "completely thinking about the crew and having no selfishness at all", but Xiao Xiao, who was directly stabbed out by the boss, was choked with saliva.
#ζ±ε©δΈθ½ηη½ε! How can you break a boss who can always see at a glance what you're doing?
He glanced at Leonardo, who was confused, and then smiled awkwardly at Leila: "You know, my friends are poor, and you guys are not bad for money anyway, and they are the top professionals." Please, who is not please, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Leonardo asked Leila curiously, both of them were speaking in Chinese, and he couldn't understand them.
Speaking Chinese must have been deliberate, Xiao Xi didn't want his previous work to be known by too many people, and Leila thought the same way. If she really wants to be poked out, she may get into a lot of trouble for her and the company.
So Leila translated: "Xiao Yu said that he knows some mercenaries who can protect the crew. β
"Mercenary!" Leonardo's eyes lit up. Overage children like him, who grew up under the education of American heroism, more or less retain their secondary two essence, mercenaries, pirates, and agents are all superhero-like characters in their hearts. As soon as he heard that he could invite a mercenary, his interest immediately came.
No matter how rich he is, he doesn't want to be like a sheep that has only been cut one stubble after another, if it is really like what Xiao Yu said before, there will be a bunch of them after appeasing one with money, he might as well simply save all the money and hire mercenaries to protect himself.
"That's a good idea, but do the people he knows work? Could they all be soft eggs?" In Leonardo's mind, Xiao Xi is a makeup artist with magical makeup skills, even if he knows a few mercenaries, can he guarantee that those people are all powerful characters?
Xiao Xiao was not angry at his suspicions, and said with a smile: "Is it useless for me to say soft eggs, who said it is useless, if you are interested, I will call two people to come over and perform for you?"
Leila believed in the people he introduced, but it really took a lot of thought to think about things like this related to life safety. She didn't want to influence what other people thought, especially Leonardo, an outsider.
"It's okay, let's meet at a time you arranged. She made a straight decision.
"Wrap it up with me. Xiao Xiao patted his chest and responded.
He moved quickly, and brought people in the morning of the third day. It was two tall men, especially the dark-skinned one, whose arms were as close to Leila's legs.
Unlike Xiao Xiao, who looked more like a college student, as soon as the two men came, Leonardo immediately trusted them. Just looking at their thick arms and tall stature, one can feel the great power contained in them. And when they showed off their marksmanship at the range, the little hesitation they had was gone.
This made Xiao Xiao a little injured, he wanted to say that he was also very powerful, how could he judge people by his appearance?
Leila watched Leonardo excitedly tell herself how good the two were and felt nothing but speechless. She knows Xiao Xi's ability very well, and it should be similar to what he can be optimistic about and recommend.
The most important thing is that what he said is very reasonable, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, who is not invited, it is better to invite someone who knows the details, if something really happens, you can also have a bottom in your heart, and you don't have to worry about those people taking the money and not doing things.
